How to Conserve Canning and Packing For Win ter's Use Explained in Detail by National War Garden Experts > * SYRUPS FOR CANNING FRUITS Fruits may be satisfactorily canned without sugar, and those put up especially for young children might better have sugar omitted. The adult taste requires sweetened truit and less sugar is required if'the fruit is sweetened when canned. Sugar is added in syrup form when the product is canned and permeates it well during the process of steriliz ing. It is more economical to oan fruits with sugar rather than Jo add sugar when using. Send for a free canning namual which the National War Garden Commission, Washing ton, will send you for a 2-cent stamp to cover postage. In directions given, various grades of syrup are mentioned. These t-re in the following proportions: This—One pint sugar to four parts water. • Medium —One part sugar to two! parts water. Thirk —One part sugar to one part water. In making the syrup have the wa-j ter boiling, then add the sugar very; gradually. Stir constantly, keeping the liquid boiling, until all of the sugar is dissolved. A clear syrup,! which rarely needs skimming, results j if this method is used. Thin syrups are used for all sweet fruits such as cherries, peaches and l apples. Use medium syrups with sour fruits, such as strawberri3s, gooseberries, apricots. Thick syrup is suitable for preserving, and espe cially sun-cooked preserves. Thin syrup is not sticky; medium syrup! is sticky when cooled on spoon; thick syrup when poured hos a thickened appearance, Care should be taken while using the syrups. The liquid should '" , l added boiling hot to the tilled i; * but between times, if allowed to cy.. tinue boiling, it will change in qual ity, a thin syrup in small quantity,; rapidly becoming thick. The com-! mission will be glad to answer any; questions written on one side of the; paper and sertt in a self-addressed j stamped envelope.

Elizabeth Wade changed the sub ject abruptly. "Let us get the waterlilies now," she said. John Butler took the oars and rowed on up the little lake until he reached the cove where the great lilies with gold hearts lay among their sleek green pads. "Let me pull them for you," he suggested. Hut Elizabeth shook her head. "No' t like to gather them myself," she insisted, leaning out 'of the stern to grip the long stems for under the water. Butler held the boat firm with the oar< while she gathered the blos soms. He noticed how graceful she was. She had roiled up her sleeves, and her arms were very white, her slender wrists perfectly rounded. She wore no hat, and the sunlight flutter ing through the trees struck golden glints from her abundant hair. She certainly looked every inch a thoroughbred, the man mused. She was a cousin of plain Martha Cha pin, yet surely no princess of the blood cftuld appear more patrician. Yes. he had ben right when he had decided that she was the equal of his sister, although Alicia had had advantages and an environment, of which this girl could know nothing. "What are you thinking about?" Elizabeth demanded, with a sudden ness that made him start. He had been so immersed in his abatement of your trouble, and finally make you entirely well. Fifty years ago S. S. S. was discovered and given to suffering mankind. During this period it has proven its remarkable curative properties as a blood purifier and tonic, and has re lieved thousands of cases of disease caused by poor or impure blood, and chronic or inherited blood diseases. You can be relieved, but you must take S. S. S. Take it if only pim ples appear, for they denote bad blood, and may be followed by the sufferings from torturing skin erup tions. Therefore be sure. Don't take chances, don't use lotions. Get S. S. S. from your druggist. If yours is a special case, write for expert medical advice. Address Medical Director, 438 Swift Laboratory. At lanta, Ga. own thoughts that he had not seen that she had ceased gathering lilies and was looking at him. Fortu nately, he could reply with partial truthfulness. "1 was thinking about my sister." "1 did not know you had a sister," Elizabeth remarked. Then she blushed as she recalled that she was supposed not to know anything about this man. "I mean," she amended, "I have heard you speak of vour moth er, but not of your sister. An Alarming Hint Butler laughed at her flushed face. "You need not look so embarrassed Ht knowing nothing of a person who I-have never mentioned to you," he teased. "She is my only sister. She has just linished college and is spending the Sunimer out in River hill. The place bored me to extinc tion, but mother writes that Alicia is very happy there." "Are there many pleasant people in Riverhill?" the girl interrogated. It amused her to hear this man talk of the Western town, absolute ly unaware that she had any rela tives in that locality, or knew any thing of it. "Well," Butler smiled, "from what mother writes. 1 fancy that my sis ter is so well satisfied with the at tentions of one person there—or he has shown himself to be so much attracted by her that she has not had much chance to become acquaint ed with the other young people in the neighborhood. Yet, of course, she has been invited to the various houses at which she has met Wade." "Wade The exclamation escaped Elizabeth involuntarily. "Wade, did you say f" The man looked disconcerted. "I did not mean to let the name slip! That was hardly an honorable thing to do, was It? Yet, as you do not know my sister, and as there is nothing really tangible in the way of an affair between Dr. Wade and her perhaps it was not very indis creet of me to say what I did. All mother wrote was that the young doctor was apparently much at tracted to Alicia and that t.he at traction appeared to be mutual. That may mean next to nothing you know." He was speaking slowly, gazing, puzzled, into the face of his com panion. • He remembered that this girl knew Douglas Wade at least she had told him that she had seen Wade on the farm in days gone by. "When I spoke I forgot that you knew Wade," he said tentatively. "I used to see him quite often years ago." she evaded. That was substantially what she had said when he had asked her something about this man. Could her indifference have been but a blind? Did she care for the young physician and might that account for her change of color and for the compressed look about her lips just now? What a fool he had been— yet Wade, the prosperous professional i \ XUUUSHUHO tMAft mCLEQKXPS man, would have no serious thoughts i regarding Mrs. Chapin's cousin. If ( he had:— An Explanation Butler set his teeth savagely. Con found Wade! Lizzie Moore was too proud for him—tine as he was. Then, swift as a flash, came the j ■ appreciation that if he, John Butler, should learn that this girl was en gaged to any man, he would not want to remain on the farm a day i longer. He must rid his mind of this dis j turbing suspicion. With an effort he : spole. ! "Miss Moore!" abruptly. "Have I j said anything I ought not to have j said? Have I said anything to make I you uncomfortable? Perhaps you are [ |so well acquainted with Wade that ; you are certain that my mother's ! ideas are entirely wrong.

Her manner was unagitated, ! her voice calm, her eyes frank and ! untroubled. I "Why should you think you had i made me uncomfortable?" she par j ried. "Why should I care what Mr. j Wade does? Were he and I to live ! for a half century we would be no : nearer each other in feeling than we are now. Put that ridiculous notion out of you head." ! Her speech seemed so honest that i , the man almost persuaded himself that he had been mistaken. Yet, if so, why had she changed color and spoken so abruptlv when he imparted to her a bit of silly gossip? (To Be Continued.)
