The terms jam, marmalade and conâ€" serve are used indiscriminately both by the housewife and manufacturers. Jam means to most of us crushed fruit <pokâ€" ed with sugar. Marmalades corftain Large fruits were cut into big pieces and berries and cherries remained whole. The syrup from these fruits is not jellied. This is the way we expect t o have preserves toâ€"day when we make them ourselves or buy them. Thrée things I make myself deserve this title They are sunâ€"cooked strawberries, cherry and quince preserves. (By EDITH M. BARBE;I) What do you mean when you use the word preserve? Perhaps you use it to cover all the fruits you can with a thick or thin syrup or mak® into jams Or jellies. The word preserve, in its general sense, is often used to cover canned vegetables as well as fruits. Out grandmothers, however, when they served "preserves," meant fruit canned in acrich syrup.

Cleans. Dirry Hands If you want, THE CHAMPAGNE OFP GINGER ALES Now available in new handy home packages There was an informal fruit exchange in our neighbourhood, and we were exâ€" perienced ‘judges ‘vf the comparative merits of Mrs. Wood‘s spiced cherries and Mrs. Caldwell‘s spiced grapes. When the sewing club met in summer my mother‘s friends exchanged recipes for preserves and wondered why raspberries would not "jell." Of course, ‘there was no such thing as commercial pectin at ‘hat time. No one knew anything about tests for pectin content then. Cup for cup was the usual recipe as far as sugar and juice were concerned Now we know that we can test our fruit juices for pectin, which is essential for jellying, by putting a tablespoon of juice with a tablespoon of alcohol. After a stiff jelly is formed which can be lifted on a spoon a cup of sugar may be used for a cup of juice. If the mixture jellies, but breaks easily, threeâ€"quarters of a cup of sugar to a cun of juice is indicated. Of course, you may use the modern method combining fruit with bottled pecin, which is merely concentrated apple juice, and make a jelly which will alâ€" ways jell, if youw follow the directions Toâ€"day, when fruits are in season for such comparatively long time, we do not g in much for wholesale methâ€" ods. We buy four or five quarts at a time and make up enough to fill our winter needs. Gcing back to the sunâ€"cooked strawâ€" berries â€" City people will probably lik© to use that recipe, which calls for a moment‘s cooking of the berries and sugar together and then demand ‘only a few hours in a sunny window. When I was a girl I loved to turn the oldâ€"fashioned cherry pitter, which was an heirloom in our kitchen. When the cherries arrived from the country we wuld take them out to the front porch to stem them and usually were forâ€" tunate enough to commandeer help from the neighbours. Although front porches are out of style now, they cerâ€" tainly had their uses. There was not much temptation to indulge in the sour "heerry so my mother did not object to our volunteer help. â€" Strawberries, however, were never allowed to gt> on the front porch for hulling. fruits cut into pieces. The word conâ€" serve may cover the same thing, alâ€" though we often find mixed fruits and sometimes nuts are added. S s T I took a tablespoonful of liquid amâ€" monia and mixed it with a pail of water and poured it between the rows of the plants. Provided it is not alâ€" lowed to touch the leaves*of the plants this will not only keep the worms away but will also make the plants grow.

Dear Sir:â€"I have been reading in your paper about the worms which are eating all the plants in the gardens and I was wondering if my remedy is any good. You see the worms down our way are aristocratic worms and as I can‘t afford to buy expensive seeqs the worms leave us alone. Blackberries, raspberries, or loganâ€" berries may be used in place of the strawberries in this recipe. Tutti Frutti All summer fruits may be used in this recipe. As they come put them in a stone crock with an equal quantity of sugar which is put in layers between the fruit. Add enough brandy to disâ€" solve theâ€"sugar each time it is added.

In an oldâ€"~fashioned day raspberry and currant juices, apple and elderberry juice and peach and apple juices were mixed together in order to supply the lacking pectin. Lorne James was seriously injured last week when his automobile left the Ferguson highway four miles north of Liskeard. The car turned over four times. A passing motorist took the inâ€" jured man to the hospital where it was found he suffered severe injuries, but is reported as recovering.: When found by the passing motorist, Mr. James was unconscious from loss of blood, an artery in his face being seâ€" vered in the accident, as well as octher injuries sustained. If anything is worth while it should, in my opinion, be advertised and a thing like that is not a matter of mere gossip or tale telling but a scientific fact, and as such it should be talked of and not murmured by a man while looking at his shoes. I remain, Yours most sincerely, between the plants. This kills them off when they come up to eat. The lady who wrote it said the man who told the tale was locking at his shoe and spoke in a shy manner as though he was afraid of being laughed at. I read that idea about the flowers 17 years ago and I have been telling it on an average of about three times a year ever since.

Doling According to the opinion credited to Peter McEwen, chief forest ranger for the Sudbury district, many of the forâ€" est fires in the area are as of incendiary crigin. The theory is that some of the men employed in fighting the fires may have started other fires to assure further work in the fireâ€" fighting line. Fires near Gogama have been almost established as being of this type of origin. A number of transients used: in fighting fires had been rgâ€" leased from the work and made their way back to â€"cities and towns along the railroads. Later a number of fires were sten along the tracks, some of them with dry wood piled on them. In other sections it was impossible to unâ€" derstand how fires could jump against the wind as they seemed to do.

Apple, pumpkin and cherry, while still general favourites, were modified and modernized. Other pies unheard of 20 years ago came into beâ€" ing. Pies were in again, and this time they werse here to stay. Newer types followed the airâ€"minded trend of our times and became fluffy, light, chiffon creations. (For whoever heard +~of a chiffon pie in preâ€"war days?) An amazing and appetizing variety of pies is now offered to us. With this variety we can add sparkle to our menu and cormplete our dinner, rather than end it with "that sinking feelâ€" ing." Here are some distinctively new pie ideas for occasions great and small.

Sprinkle pecans in prepared pastry shell and add filling. Bake in a moderate oven (375 deg. F.) for about 45 minutes. Yield: One 9â€"inch pie. Allâ€"Bran Pastry Pie at one time was considered to be no fitting dessert with which to finish a heavy meal. Many hardy souls ate it at breakfast and felt that this fortiâ€" fied them for a day of hard labour. But at night they ate scantily and shunned pie on their dinner menu. They thought it suitable only for a holiday fare. 4 cup allâ€"bran 1% cups flour 4 teaspoon salt %4 cup shortening 5 tosps. cold water (more or less) Roll allâ€"bran until fine and combin® with flour and salt.

The fringe may be straight or twisted strands. Or it may be ball fringe so short that it appears to be nothing but a series of little soft knobs. Fringe for cushions is always short. Cord or Rope Cord has put in an appearance again. It may be rope covered with fabric, or coils or several strands of cotton ‘xf the same colour twisted together. Or again it may be of two, three or more fine cords in different colours coiled into one heavy cord or rope The popul:/ name toâ€"day for this trimming is rope rather than cord.
