JAMS AND PICKLES
Some of the least costly of the sum-
mer and early fall products can be
transformed into delicious tidbits for
the winter table if a little time is
given to their preparation. In the
heart of the pear season use up the
less perfect pears in the making of
pickles. Grapes, too, can be spiced,
and are a tasty accompaniment to a
meat dish.
Pear Meat Jelly
12 large pears
1 pound of sugar
1-4 cupful of lemon juice
8 whole cloves
1 tablespoonful of gelatine.
Pare and quarter the pears and
place in a shallow dish with the
sugar, cloves and just enough water
to cover. Stew until tender, but not
broken. Place in small glass jars.
Soften the gelatine in a little cold
water, dissolve in the hot juice of the
pears. Keep in a cool place.
Watermelon Pickle
3 pounds of brown sugar
1 quart of vinegar
1-2 watermelon rind
1 1-2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of cloves
1 tablespoon of allspice.
Pare the rind and cut into inch
pieces. Wash and set aside to drain.
Cook the sugar, vinegar and spices to-
gether and boil for one hour, then
add the melon rind and cook until
tender. Drain off the pieces of melon
and pack into stone crocks. Continue
boiling the syrup for 15 minutes, then
pour over the melon.
Grape Pickle
7 pounds of grapes
4 pounds of sugar
4 teaspoons of powdered cloves
4 teaspoons of powdered cinnamon
2 cups of vinegar,
Remove the grape skins and set
aside. Boil the pulp until soft, then
strain through a colander into the
skins and other ingredients. Boil for
two hours and pour into hot sterilized
bottles. This makes a spicy, seedless,
grape pickle.
Rhubarb Jam,
3 pounds of rhubarb
1 pound of figs
3 pounds of sugar
1lemon, juice and grated rind
1-4 teaspoon of salt
1-4 teaspoon of cloves
1 teaspoon of ginger.
Do not peel the rhubarb. Wash and
cut into inch pieces. Wash and chop
the figs and put with the rhubarb
and half the sugar in a kettle and
let stand over night. In the morning
boil until clear, then add the other
ingredients and cook until thick.
Ripe Tomato Jam
3 pounds or ripe tomatoes
3 pounds of sugar
2 lemons
1 teaspoon of ginger
1-4 teaspoon of salt.
Scald the tomatoes and peel, then
cut in half and remove the seeds.
Cook for two hours with other in-
gredients, skimming and stirring fre-
quently. Pack in small sterilized
glasses and seal tightly.
GRAHAM CRACKER CAKE
One cup white sugar, 1-2 cup oleo-
margarine, 3 egg-yolks, 1-4 cup milk, 1
_ teaspoonful vanilla, 3 graham crack-
ers, 2 teaspoonfuls baking power.
Cream the butter; add sugar, egg
yolks (beaten well), liquid and gra-
ham cracker crumbs alternately; last-
ly add the three esg whites, which
must be beaten stiff. Bake in two
layers in a moderate oven for 15 min-
utes.
TO PUT IN YOUR COOK BOOK
While the amount of ice cream and
other ices eaten in restaurants and ice
cream parlors has enormously in-
creased within the past few years, far
less ice cream is packed at the ice
cream producer's and delivered to pri-
vate houses. This is due to the enor-
mously increased cost of ice cream so
delivered. Many concerns that for-
merly wer willing to send it packed
in this way have actually given up
this end of their business and those
that continue have fewer orders be-
cause of the great advance in price.
And though many housewives still
make ice cream at home the increased
cost of ice and the high price of cream
make this less interesting than it was
some years ago.
Meantime there are some desserts
that can be made at home which,
though they are not actually frozen,
may be made very cold if kept near
the ice for some time before serving,
and they prove a almost as welcome on
In the Kitchen
a warm day as does ice cream.
Desserts made with gelatine are es-
pecially cooling. If you find that
plain jelly is insipid you can vary them
by the addition of beaten white of
egg or whipped cream. Always be
sure to have it well chilled, as nothing
is flatter than tepid jelly. Sometimes
by serving a little sliced fruit or berry
with the jelly a good effect is gained.
Much depends on the appearance. If
you garnish the dish with leaves or
flowers it adds to the appetizing ef-
fect. Here are some recipes that may
prove helpful:
Pineapple Snow
Take one can of chopped pines#ple
and drain off all the juice. Cover half
box of gelatine with one cup of cold
water and let stand until softened,
then add the chopped fruit and juice
and two cups sugar. Stir over boil
ing water until dissolved, then add
the chopped fruit and juice and two
lemons. Add the whites of two eggs
beaten until stiff and stand the mixture
in a pan of ice water and beat 15 min-
utes. Turn into a mold and let it
harden on the ice. Serve with whipped
cream.
Filled Pineapple
Filled pineapple is made by scoop-
ing out the fruit of a large pineapple,
chopping it fine and replacing it after
it has been mixed with pulp of one
small grapefruit, a quarter of a pound
of seeded, chopped Melaga grapes, and
a teaspoon of powdered sugar—all
thoroughly stirred together. The
pineapple should be served on a bed of
broken ice in a glass bowl
Ginger Pear Loaf
Pare, quarter and core enough pears
to make a pint of pulp when cooked.
Stew the pears in a syrup, seasoned
with lemén rind, until soft enough to
mash into a pulp; and then add a cup
of finely chopped preserved ginger
Soften a third of a box of gelatine in
half a cup of water. Bring the pulp
to a becil and add half a cup of sugar
and the gelatine, stirring until dis
solved; Then pour into a bowl and
set on ice. When the pulp begins to
stiffen beat with a cream whip until
light and stiff; then add a pint of
whipped cream that has been sweet-
ened. Pour into dish and set on ice
again. Garnish with preserved ginger.
Bavarian Cream
One quart of sweet cream, the yolks
of four eggs, beaten together with a
cup of sugar; dissolve half an ounce
of gelatine in half a teacup of warm
water; when it is dissolved stir in a
pint of boiling hot cream; add the
beaten yolks and sugar; cook all to-
gether until it thickens; then remove
from the fire; add the other pint of
cold cream, whipped to a stiff froth,
adding a little at a time, beating hard;
season with lemon or vanilla, whip the
whites of the eggs for the top; dip
the mould in cold water before filling;
set in a cold place, to this could be
added peaches or any other seasonable
fruit.
Apricot Mould
One can of apricots, one wineglass
of orange juice, one ounce of gelatine,
whipped cream. Drain the apricots
on a sieve and reduce the syrup to
half its quantity by boiling. Pass the
fruit through a sieve and mix it with
the syrup. Add the wineglass of
orange juice and the dissolved gela-
tine. Pour into the mould with open
center, and when set turn out and fill
center with whipped cream.
Pineapple Whip
Pare a pineapple, remove the eyes,
and grate. Put the pulp upon a sieve
to drain. Beat the whites of four eggs
till frothy. Add four tablespoons of
powdered sugar. Beat till stiff. Fold
in one pint of cream, whipped. Beat
in the pineapple pulp, adding as much
as the cream and meringue will hold
without becoming too soft. Serve very
cold in custard glasses.
Snow Cream
Four whites of eggs, one pint of
cream, whipped; one teaspoon of va-
nilla, four tablespoons of powdered
sugar, one tablespoon of sherry. Beat
the whites until foamy; add the sifted
sugar by degrees, beating steadily;
then beat until stiff and glossy. Add
vanilla. Whip the cream to a stiff
froth over a pan of ice. Stir it care-
fully into the meringue. Serve in
glasses, very cold.
CORN PUDDING
One can corn, two eggs, salt, pepper,
sugar, two tablespoonfuls oleomar-
garine, one pint milk.
Method: Beat the eggs, not sepa-
rating yolks and whites). Add them
to the corn; then add to this milk and
oleomargerine. Season to taste with
salt, pepper and sugar (if desired).
Bake until firm.

Francis Paulus
Returns to Belgium
By LEN G. SHAW
When Francis P. Paulus, having suc-
ceeded in gathering up most of his
art treasures that had been scattered
to the four winds when the Germans
occupied Bruges, turned the key for
the last time in the house that had
been his home during these happy
days preceding the world war, he bade
goodby forever to Belgium. The
country whose quaint people he had
perpetuated on canvas, whose wondor-
of river and wharf he had erected with
a skill that gave him world fame, was
to know him no more. Battle-scarred,

{here was the snort of a motor, th?

and little else. The Detroit of even
a few years ago has gone—never to

«There were some things I should
have liked to do here. But they were
impossible. Fancy a man trying to

Then besides being that belgium has
laid hold on Mr. Paulus, just as Paris
has on countless others, and he is go-
ing back to his old love. He will prob-
ably make his headquarters in Bruges,
but he plans to preserve in etchings
the war ravages around Verdun and
the country to the south, including
some of the cathedrals that in their
ruined splendor stand as a silent tes-
timonial to the mast ruthless savagery
civilization has ever known, and as a
contstant rebuke to their desypoilers
that the Detroit artist believes should
be perpetuated for all time to come.

Sugar and its Sources
“Sweet .as .the .Sugar .Cane,” and
Things That Are Just as Sweet
Once upon a time (and it is not so
very long) some enterprising Amer-
ican started the idea of making sugar
from watermelons. But this new idea
of increasing the supply of sugar was
very short-lived. Refrigerator cars
and cold storage made a wider and
more profitable market for the melons
themselves.
Now that sugar brings so high al’
price, however, perhaps the idea may

For sugar exists in many growing
things besides the sugar cane and the.
sugar béet, from which it is chiefly
made for the world’s use.
Sugar has been made from different
kinds of palms for centuries by the
natives of India. The palm (‘“‘arenza
saccharifera”) yields 87.91 per cent
of cane sugar (“sucrose”) as compared
with 93.33 per cent from the sugar

A Little Talk
on Thrift
By S. W.Straus, President American
Society for Thrift
A list of fifty men who are takifg
leading parts in the business life of
America shows that only four of this
number are under fifty. The average
age is sixty-one, while twelve of the
group are past seventy. Ee
It is thrift of years to prolong one’s
period of usefulness as much as pos-
sible. Youth, with its restless ambi-
tions and its unfulfilled dreams, has a
place in the great affairs of men. But
it is a fallacy that the age of fifty
marks the dead-line of accomplish-
ment. Comparatively few of the men
who have played prominent parts in
shaping the course of civilization
were known to fame at fifty, and most
of the epochal accomplishments of
mankind have been brought abou:
through the power and genius of those
well beyond the half-century mark.
Chauncey M. Depew once said that
“Men and women have died because
they have believed what King David
said. You can die any time you like
if you think hard enough that you
cannot live beyond that time.” While
it is true that there are some lines of
work that can be performed only by
young men and young women, it is
a false doctrine of economics that the
burden of human advancement falls
entirely upon youthful shoulders. No
phase of thriftiness is as cruel in its
manifestation and as false in its phil-
osophy as that which proclaims the
uselessness of so-called old men.
It is just as much a part of thrift
for a man to remain active and use-
ful to the very last possible day as it
is to conserve money or material re-
sources.
Thrift of time means putting
many years of accomplishment as pos-
¢ible into the span of one's life as it
means the putting of as many busy
moments as possible into each day.
The man who at fifty has not yel
found his place in the great affairs of
men need not be discouraged. He
still has his chance. He should learn
to treasure his mistakes and hig fail-
ures as a fund of priceless experi-
ences, and with this dearly-paid knowl-
edge and wisdom, set forth to accom-
plish the great work which he feels
lies within his power. No man ever
is defeated as long as he still can
kindle the fires of ambition in his soul.
His life may be a story of wasted
years, but this grim fact should prove
only a scourge to drive him on to ulti-
mate success.
as
{ Figs, raisins and dates are rich in
Dried figs yield over 60 per
cent of sugar. Raising are used for
making sugar in practically all the
countries of southern Europe and
western Asia.
Sugar exists (in solution) in many
vegetable juices. It is found in the
stems and roots of the grasses, especi-
jally the sugar cane, sorghum and
| cornstalks; in fleshy roots like the
beet: in the sap trees; in almost all
sweet fruits, and in the nectar of
flowers. See the bees and the birds
dipping into the heart of the garden
blossoms! They are after the sugar.
At the present time the sugar cane
and the sugar beet are the only im-
portant sources of the world’s sugar
supply. For the proportion of sugar
is not lanrge enough in other sources
to make profitable its separation from
the other substances with which it is
combined. Pure sugar does not grow
in nature. It is an artificial product
of man.
There are some sources of other
sorts of sugar. Chief among these is
milk, which yields “lactose,” or “milk
sugar,” quite a different thing from
the sugar of commerce.
The honey of bees is a well-known
source of sugar. But honey in itself
is too highly prized as a wholesome
sweet food to permit its being turned
into dry sugar for the table or
‘kitchen.
The sugar maple (“Acer
rum”) was the first leading source of
sugar in the United States.
Aid for “Farmers
: Mutuals”
Assistance has been given a large
number of farmers’ mutual fire insur-
ance companies by the United States
Department of Agriculture by suggest-
ing to these organizations suitable ar-
ticles of incorporation, by-laws, and
application of policy forms. In con-
nection with the by-laws recommend-
ed by the department’s specialists a
classification of risks has been pre-
pared which has received the indorse-
ment of the National Association of
Mutual insurance Companies. Al-
ready several companies have adopted
this classification. A set of by-laws
prepared by the department for one
of the more progressive farmers’ mu-
tual wind-storm insurance companies
is now recognized as a model among
leading men in this particular field
of agricultural insurance. A simple
system of records for farmers’ mutual
insurance companies prepared by the
department within recent months is
already being used by seven concerns
and more than a score of other com-
panies indicate by correspondence
that they are contemplating adopting
the system (of records.
saccha-
A declaration of war always brings
down the suicide rate of a country,
while a finnancial panic increases it.
Thrift does not consist alone in
saving money, conserving food and
wearing made-over clothes. The pro-
longation of the years of one’s useful-
ness constitutes one of the most
glorious examples of his virtue.
The sum total of human accomplish
ments will be immeasurably increased
when humanity the profound
lesson of the thrift of years.

Inquiry Saves Paper
A single page leaflet, entitled “New
Light on the Forestry Question,” car-
rying the announcement of two new
publications by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has been
mailed to several thousand persons
commonly interested in Department
of Agriculture activities. "This method
of determining what persons will be
glad to receive publications about to
be issued in accord with the policy
of the department which endeavors
to limit the number of copies of buil-
letins, circulars, ete., distributed to
persons who believe they will be di:
rectly benefited by them.
This particular leaflet calls atten-
tion to the full report on forestry con-
ditions in this country which the For-
est Service has prepared in response
to a resolution passed by the Senate.
It also states that a summary of this
report in the form of a department
bulletin has been prepared. This lat-
ter can be had free by addressing a re-
quest to the United States Department
of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
while the former—which is much
more exhaustive and in addition to
general facts, contains a large amount
of information relating particularly to
individual wood-using industries—can
be obtained for 25 per copy
(stamps not accepted) by sending the
same to the Superintendent of Docu-
ments, Government Printing Office,
Washington, D. C. Both of these pub-
lications contain startling evidence us
to the forest depletion which is going
on in this counary at an increasingly
rapid rate. They also set forth the
program which the Forest Service Is
advocating as the only practical means
of remedying the present evil.

place of real staff of life.
Of course, candy and cookies have
their place, but small children should

lunch and dinner—especially children
of school and kindergarten age. ‘The
younger ones rarely let mother forget
it, but older children frequently object
to missing some part of their p'ay-

bread!
It’s very easy to cultivate this
healthful habit in children, and if the

Noted Airman
Trains to Reach:
“The Calling”
In order to train himself for an at-
tempt to reach what airmen call “the
ceiling,” situated roughly seven and
one-half miles high, and so break the
world’s height records, M. Jean Cas-
ale, the famous French airman, who
has held height records, planned a
severe and novel endurance test.
To accustom himself to the low pres-
sure and cold at great altifudes, M.
Casale has constructed a special pneu-
matic bell in which he will seat him-
self, and, after it has been hermetically
sealed, the air will be gradually
pumped out until the barometric pres-
sure falls to that approximating the
pressure registered near “the ceiling.”
At the same time a refrigerating ap-
paratus will be set to work and the
bell gradually cooled.
M. Casale says that when he made
his six and one-quarter mile record, he
felt no particular sensation until five
miles high, when he became numb and
could hardly move his limbs. His
hands and feet seemed to weigh about
150 pounds. Higher still his brain be-
came affected and he felt indifferent
to all sensations of life or death.
Approaching the six-mile level he
began to experience loss of memory
and to lose all idea of how to operate
the motor and steering gear. At this
point, therefore, he turned his ae o-
plane's nose earthward and began to
glide down—Continental Daily Main.
The Bedbug
It is no disgrace to have Yedbuus
but it is a sign of indifference or care-
lessness to maintain this disgusting
human parasite in the home. It is not
generally known among housekeepers
that this little “beggar” will migrate
from one house to another, passing
through cracks in walls or along the
water pipes or gutters. Migration
from an infested house is sure to hap-
pen if the human occupants leave.
During the day these pests hide in
all sorts of places; in the cracks of the
floors, under washboards, and wall
paper, in the walls, and where wooden
beds are used they can be found in
the cracks and under the slats.
The activity of bedbugs is regulated
by the food supply. They feed ex-
clusively upon human blood. They
gan go long periods without food.
Carefully conducted experiments have
proven that adults can live from 54
to 316 days without food. Even newly
