1 in 2 cups water twenty minutes.
Add 5 pounds of sugar and bring to
boiling point. Then add 3 quarts
of strawberries and cook twenty
minutes.
Canned Strawberries.
Hull, wash, drain and weigh ber
ries. For each pound of berries al
low 10 ounces sugar and cup wa
ter. Cook water and sugar to a
thick syrup, cool slightly and pour
over the berries, which have been
packed into jars. Fill jars to over
flow, adjust rubbers and cover
loosely. Place on rack in kettle and
surround with warm water. Bring
slowly to boiling point and boil ten
minutes. Tighten covers and let
jars cool in the kettle. Store in cool
but dry cupboard.
Strawberry Juice.
Select perfect ripe berries, hull
and rinse carefully. Drain, crush
and heat gradually to the simmer
ing point. Strain through double
thickness of cheese cloth. Let stand
in a cool place and pour off care
fully so that the dregs or sediment
will remain in the bowl. Add one

lightly. Set bottles on rack in hot

platter and set in the sun for two

When Young Folks
Return From
College
What is more delicious than a
iece of freshly baked cake with a
thick frosting?
I've heard many a girl away from
home say she would give anything
for a piece of home-made cake, and
if anywhere near a shop where
pastries were displayed she'd pur
chase some. These girls will be go
ing home shortly for their summer
vacations, and lots of them will be
anxious to try their hand at cooking.
This will not only give mother a
little vacation from the planning,
but will satisfy her daughter's de
sire for some home management.
Not alone girls, but boys, too, relish
any food that spells home.
The other day a middy on shore
leave was asked by a benevolent
lady what she could do to make his
visit to New York pleasant for him,
thinking, perhaps, she ccwld furnish
tickets to a show, or for a trip
around the big city. "Gee, ma'am,
do you mean it?" the middy turned
and asked, while his fingers worked
convulsively. The woman nodded.
"Then give me a piece of home
made cake just one of them wedge
shaped slabs and it's all I want.
It's three years since I've been
home."
A woman doing experimental
cookery for a large commercial firm
told of some of the dishes she pre
pared, and among the recipes she
gave me I have found some cake
and cooky recipes that your boy or
girl away from home would appre
ciate. Try these, they are not ex
pensive. Wrap in oil paper, pack
well in a tin box and mail the next
day after baking. If packed imme
diately after cooling, cake will be
come crumbly.

ened and flavored, cover the remain
ing pieces, and press firmly to
""Ser. Nuts or glace fruits cut in
pfevi ay be added to cream. Melt

cool enough to spread.
Garbage Cans
Garbage cans should be odor tight
as well as fly tight Furthermore,
they should be water tight, other
wise leakage from the can will
cause the accumulation of evil smell
ing substances in the soil around it.
The garbage can may be kept
much cleaner by lining it with news
paper. It should also be washed
with boiling soda water.
In the individual home papers
can be burned unless the methods of
heating and cooking do not include
stoves or furnaces. In those cases
incinerators (skeleton baskets or
wire frames) may be used, the re
sulting ash being used on flower
beds or lawn.

This is a pudding which one
never tires of. Cook over night a
cupful of tapioca, and in the morn
ing drain off the water and add to
it the juice of a lemon, the juice of
two oranges, half a fresh pineapple
or a half can pineapple, cut and
mixed with the juice, half a cupful
of rugar and a cupful of milk (more
than this may be necessary if the
tapioca swells a good deal). Put
all these ingredients together into
a sauce pan and cook until thor
oughly soft, then pour into a dish,
adding the whites of two eggs, well
beaten.
Preparations
For Summer
Vacations
There arc two primary important
points to be decided when planning
for the summer vacation: What it
is for and how to make it accom
plish this end.
At first glance the average home
manager will say: "Why, how fool
ish! Everybody knows what a sum
mer vacation is for." But does ev
eryone? Do we realize that a sum
mer vacation is more than announc
ing to our friends that we will be
absent from town our allotted few
weeks, packing our trunks and tak
ing our departure?
It is recuperating time for the
body and mind; when every member
of .the family should get a com
plete relaxation from the wear and
tear of a busy life, and it should
be planned and executed as such.
Summer vacation will be a recu
perating time if the efficient home
manager makes systematic arrange
ments the week before vacation.
This will bring the desired freedom
which is so absolutely essential.
The Week Before Vacation.
Take into consideration the fact
that the summer cottage is a primi
tive home, with few or no modern
conveniences., Map out detailed
plans for housekeeping during vaca-
Improvised Hamper
An economical clothes hamper is
devisjid from a tall basket in which
bananas are shipped. Saw it off to
the second hoop if it seems too tall.
Cover both inside and outside with
glazed wallpaper spread thick with
paste. Secure it on the outside first,
then bring it over and down the
inside, laying pleats at the bottom to
make it fit. Make a lid of card
board, cover it on both sides to
match. Holes may be punched in
lid for ventilation.
Saving Dust
Dust will not settle so thickly on
objects in a room with a hardwood
floor if the dry mop is used before
the broom instead of after.
tion not mentally, but on paper
and live up to the plans, which
should embody the least possible
housework and the minimum amount
of cooking. Do not depend upon the
food supply offered by the immediate
neighborhood, but rather take with
you ready-to-serve foods to meet
the needs of every occasion. Plan
all meals in advance. Call the fam
ily together, explaining to them what
you intend to do, and ask their co
operation; for you cannot be ex
pected to carry out your plans if
you meet with opposition. Lastly,
assign to each member of the family
certain duties to be performed by
them each day of vacation. The few
tasks thus divided will work hard
ship on no single persons, leaving
ample time for rest and recreation.
