Home canned berries play leading roles in the pantry because they "contribute vitamins and minerals for health, can be used in many ways, and are easy and inexpensive to-can. Blackberries, blueberries, boysenberries, raspberries, elderberriescan them all and others, too, with little or no sugar. Sugar gives them better flavor and more calories, but^ has nothing to do with keeping qualities. Berries are too precious to waste and none will be wasted if you will see to it that every step taken is the right one. First of aU, wash, rinse and examine your jars. Be sure to inspect the top edges of those tt> be sealed with glass top seal or two-piece vacuum seal closures because top seals refuse to work unless tops of the jars are perfect. Cover jars, glass lids, and zinc caps with luke-warm water, heat to boiling and keep hot until needed. Wash and rinse rubbers and vacuum seal lids and drop them in boiling water--they don't need boiling unless you plan to do oldfashioned open fettle canning--then they must be boiled a few minutes to sterilize. Every berry must be fresh, sound, ripe, and firm. Wash them carefully and then take your choice of canning methods. Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service Director" of Ball Brothers Company, prefers to hot-pack berries. This is how it is done. Place berries in a wide, shallow pan; add one-half cup sugar, or less, for each quart of berries; set the pan over low heat and simmer until the berries heat through and the sugar dissolves (remember you don't have to use any sugar); pour the hot berries into dean, hot jars and process five min* •tes in hot water-bath canner. If you prefer cold packing, fill a jar about half full with raw berries, then tap it gently on a folded cloth to shake the berries downw When the jar is filled to within s half-inch of the top, add enough hot syrup to cover the berries. Process 20 minutes in a water-bath canner. Syrup for four quarts of berries may be made by boiling two cups sugar and three cups water or berry juice together until the sugar dissolves. If you are a little short on sugar--and who isn't these days?-- try making the syrup of one measure sugar, one measure corn syrup, and one-half measure water or berry juice. This syrup seems rather thick and sweet, but it will become thinner and less sweet after it has-been with the berries a few weeks. And if you have no sugar at all, cover the berries with hot berry juice or boiling water; seal or partly seal the jars (follow the manufacturer's instructions) and process 20 minutes in a water-bath canner. If you want your berries to really star, can them without sugar. Then they can be used as if they were fresh from the patch. The juice can be drained off and used for making jelly. The berries can go into a pie or into jam-r-a jam turnover tucked in a lunch box will make the noon hour much more pleasant for somebody and surely you need nobody to tell you that j"'Mv and jam are far more delicious when freshly made than at any other time.

As with the majority of this type of mental ailments most of these patients were above the average in intelligence, the majority had graduated from college and some were engaged in professions. The outstanding symptoms in the order in, which they occurred were tenseness, depression, anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, hypochondriasis (persisting in believing he has ailments despite evidence that he has not), weakness and fear of insanity. The hospital treatment consisted mainly of interviews with the patient and supervision of his daily activities to fit his needs and abilities. The average length of hospital stay was months. A followup study, four to 14 years after this hospital treatment, showed 46 completely recovered, five much improved, 17 improved, making a total of 68 of the 100 who had benefited by the treatment.
