Canning Without Sugar. .
Fruits may be canned with or with
out sugar. People used to always be-
ieve that th - 31:? Cid the preserving.
That idea is true to some extent. From
experiments that have been worked-
out, it has been found that bacteria do,
not grow readily in pure sugar solu-l
tions, and if the solutions are very:
strong, they do not grow at all. We
make use of this fact in making-jellies!
marmalades, and conserves where we
use a. great deal of sugar and do not
have to seal the products tightly. 1115
these products. however, where so-
much sugar is used the natural flavor!
of the fruit is lost or greatly changed.
With the present method of canning
where complete sterilization is used, it
is this process which kills the organ
isms and whether we use sugar or not,
the product will keep. if we depended
entirely on the sugar, much more
would have to he used and tire natural
flavor of the fruit would be destroyed.
A great many housewives believe that
the fresh fruit flavor is retained better
by canning without sugar, and then re-
heating and adding sugar just before
the fruit is served.
At the present price of sugar and
with so much canning being done, if it
is all done with sugar, it. makes rather
an expensive proposition for the house-
wife. 0n the other hand, however, it
must be retnenibercd“thal some sugar
must be added to fruit canned without
it when the fruit is used. It is up to
the housewife to decide whether she
wishes or can afford to use so much
sugar at one time, or whether it would
(be better to ust it gradually.
The method of canning without sug-
ar is much the same as that with sugar
exeept that boiling water is substituted
for the hot syrup, and the tltne for
preserving is a little longer.

MUST WANT THINGS .HARD TO
GET THEM.
Just wanting something will rarely
obtain it for you. You‘ve got to go
out and get it for yourself. In an
article called “Increase Your Driving
Power" in the American Magazine.
a writer quotes an authority as say-
lug:
"‘After all. a man does what he
wants to do. Therefore, he must be
taught as a child, and he must learn
in adult years to teach 'himself, to
want to do the right thing and the
big thing and to want it so hard that,
he is bound to arrive at the wished
for goal Anybody can sit down and
say, ‘l’d like to be at the head of my
company, or the president of. the
United States, or the best salesman
in the world.’ That much is easy.
~ it is exactly what the baby does when
he sits on the floor and squalls" for a
piece of candy. But it is a very dif-
ferent thing from wanting something
so much that it is willing to set about
it and undertake at once the doing
of the impossible.
“The trouble with the average man
is that he does not want things hard
enough And one reason for this is
that he has not been taught the value
of this ‘wantlng.’ 'He has not been
shown in his schools and in his life
that man has tremendous resources
for wanting and’for willing, and that,
as he continues to want and will. he
will find in himself unknown and un-
suspected layers oi energy. There is
always enough on rgy to supply a
man's desires for success if he will
tap the sources of iii"

‘Time Has Arrived to Think AboutI
1 About Autumn School Outfit.

is important that the clothing be at.-'
tractive without beingvfussy and that'
' t combine appropriate colors, durabiel
jualities and youthful lines.
The rulevestablished last season of
making guimpe dresses a feature of
school wear is likely to be. continued
during the coming months. The white
yoke and sleeves give a guarantee, as
it were, of cleanliness, besides supply-
ing a becoming note.
Very nearly all of the models have
a yoke as a separate thing and it is
made of washable materials such as
handkerchief linen, batiste, organdic,
lawn or net, depending on the sort of
fabric used for the dress itself.
' The latter have a strong prediction
for serges, checked worsteds and cer-
tain of the tartan mixtures. Very lit-
tle silk is used excepting, perhaps, as
a trimming. Girls Who are in their
teens are permitted to wear frocks
that combine taffeta and serge or satin
and serge; but the smarter effects are
those of cloth in smooth or semi-rough
finish which combine artistically with
tailored braids, metal buttons or sun-
tache embroideries.
Jenny and Lanvin used China silk
last season for yokcs for grownups.
Without doubt this idea will be ex-
ploited in the gulmpe dress for the
junior and for the miss. The correct
thing is to have the guimpc of some
high color, such as tomato red, royal
blue, imperial yellow and faded rose.
For those who find such shades a bit
trying-and even youth has been
known to weary of gay colors—beige
and gray may be substituted. And in
place of the China silk or the habutal
it will be quite correct to use soft taf-
feta and satin. The letter are a‘bit
norc elegant although it must be said
appropriate for the school girl.
Paris is again trying to popularize
lpktidcd patterns. Some of these are
quite gay and others are composed of
dull blues, greens and blacks. Up to
be present time the plaids have been
most acceptable when associated with
velveteen, serge or broadcloth.
I. Three-piece effects have been de-
signed which show a skirt of plaitcd
tartan serge with a blouse of crepe
Georgette or of satin, and a jacket of
duvetyn, or of velveteen. There is
nothing startling novel in this combl.
nation, but it is a. fact that it seems to
be the only one that makes it possible
'for plaids to he used at all.
The college girl requires afternoon
frocks in addition to those which she
wears to the classrooms. The former
are made of Georgette crepe and chit
ion cloth, as well as satin and taffeta.
The distinguishingthing about them
is the ‘low ltung draperiesrand by way
of trimming, there is a good deal of
dull, usually the color of the dress ma-
terial and brightened here and there
by,a veining of beads of contrasting
color.
For school wear the coats are cut on
mannish lines and made of tweeds,
cheviots, iagonals and other good
wearing weaves. The fall models are
without bur, but their immediate and
cessors will undoubtedly show.great
collars of fur, precious and otherwise.
However, that is a matter that the fu-
Iture weeks will take care of. 7
The middy blouse of the summer has
become so popular with school girls—
who during the vacation period are
camp fire girls——that it is hard to cast
aside that type of blouse when school
days come again. For this reason
'many of the new blouses are shaped
on middy or Russian lines. They are
made of washable materials or of satin
or of serge, and while good taste sug-
gests very little trimming, there are
exceptions which are quite elaborately
braided or embraideld.

As is usually the case with boys’
suits, there are quite a number of
sections to the pattern, but the cut~
ling guide shows their distribution
over the material in such a practical
and distinct fashion that the horns
dressmaker cannot make a mistake.
First fold the material in half,
placing it on a table or some other
smooth surface. Lay the back. the
yoke, collar, front waistbands of
trousers and shield on the length-
wise fold of material. This means
that in each of these sections the
seams have been eliminated.
Next, place into position, begin-
ning opposite the back of the blouse,
the trousers, front and back, and
waistbands of the blouse. pocket, lap
and sleeve, all with the large "0"
perforations resting on a lengthwise
thread of material.
If carried out in tub materials the .
suit is cool and comfortable. The
design, however, lends itself to de-
velopment in serge, gabardine and
materials better adapted to Fall and
Winter wear. in fact the trousers
may be made of serge and the blouse
of contrasting fabric.
