It Has Proved a Revelation Rich in Flavor -- Absolute in Purity. Scaled Packets Only + Black--Green or RECIPES FOR JAM MAKING. Canadian housewives should make | to escape. Add no water. all the jam they can this year, but they should do so with the minimum of sugar. The Canada Food Board has issued regulations governing the use of sugar. by public eating-places, candy manufacturers, ice-cream manu- facturers, bakers, confectioners, ete. and these have resulted in an aggre- gate saving of a very large quantity. This saving has been increased by voluntary economies in private homes. The Anti-Hoarding Order providing limitations on holdings of sugar also has been effective. The Food Board has been able to arrange for a number of ships to carry raw suger to Canada. The cumulative effect of all these measures is that . sufficient supply for the canning and preserving season seems now to be assured. In order that the maximum use may be made of our fruit crop this year in all parts of Canada, housewives dre asked to use no larger proportion of sugar than is needed for preserving and jam-making. The recipes in this article have been prepared by experts, having in mind the use of those pro- portions of sugar which will give the best results. No more sugar is re- quired than the amounts stated in the recipes given below. Strawberry Jam.--8 lbs. strawber- ries, 6 1bs. sugar. Mix the strawber- ries and sugar in a kettle and let them stand over night In the morn- ing set the kettle qver the fire on an asbestos mat, and bring the contents slowly to a boil. Do not stir the fruit any more than is absolutely necessary. Boil gently without stirring until it is sufficiently thick and then put it away In sterile jars. Currant Jelly.--4 lbs. currant juice, 8 lbs. sugar.

Trask's cheerful face grew trous a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure; that all the fruit is being cooked, and to prevent burning, Cook without sugar until the quantity is reduced and the fruit is all broken. The time will vary with the quality of the fruit. ! Heat the sugar in the oven and add to the fruit, stirring until it is all dis- solved. Then boil without stirging' from three to five minutes. ~ Remove from the fire and put into sterile jars, ! Seal when cold, by pouring melted paraffin over| the top. In making Black Currant, Jam, the sugar must not be boiled from the beginning with the fruit, as in some jams; otherwise the currants will become hard and unpalatable. Little Points in Canning. Keep the water at a jumping boil , and do not allow the fire to die down, for an instant while cans are in the canner. i Keep the cover on the canner dur- ing every moment of the processing time. Steam plays a large part in' cooking the contents of the can. Greens or green vegetables are most satisfactorily blapched in steam! instead of hot water. Use a steam cooker or put-the products in a colan-| der and set them over a vessel of boil-| ing water, covered tightly. To prevent bleaching or darkening of products packed in glass jars, wrap jars in paper. Examine jars and cans occasionally during the summer to detect any sign; of fermentation, leaking, or swélling. | The flavor is often injured by let- ting peeled fruit stand too long be- fore cooking. Prepare at one time only as many cans as can be processed | immediately. In seasoning it should be kept in sr until the quantity is reduced.

Be- cause of its acid nature, the Lombard plum will not make a good jam with the proportion of sugar prescribed above. ~ Plum Jam.--8 lbs. plums, 6 lbs. su- gar.

Test with a soda cracker closed in the jar of dried food. It should stay crisp. If it becomes limp, dry the | food over again. Dry food is leathery, not crisp. Soak all dried foods at least six, hours before using, and cook in ° the, water in which they were soaked, in' order to retain all the valuable min- eral salts. Keep dry foods in jars that would ; not do for canning, or in empty can with removable tops, which have been boiled in washing soda and water to remove any strong odor. Every ounce of food which a woman conserves releases a corresponding' amount for the woman who has not' the opportunity to store away food. STOPPING "ANOTHER WASTE. By-Products of Packing Plants Which \ Are Splendid Food, Packing houses in Canada, acting on the request of the Canada Food Board, are endeavouring to popularize cer- fain by-products, particularly parts of _ the hog not generally used for general consumption in Canada. These include pigs' feef, pigs' brains, calves' brains, hogs' livers, neck-bones and neck ribs. These parts of thé animal, while good for human food, have been hitherto not popular in this country among con- Sumere, although they are perfectly h ful and nutritious and the de- mand far exceeds the supply in the United States. At a recent dinner given for de- ' monstration purposes, at the Armour Canadian plant: at Hamilton, the uests w pa with oe following . | apie , devilled sae i weetbreads, ge' feet, | lay the pickled = ox-tongue, brain croquettes , and sweet-bread rissoles. It is estimated that sufficient pigs' | livers are thrown into the waste tanks of the packing plants of Canada every week to supply all the families in the Dominion with meat for one day. At the present time all these pro- ducts of Canadian packing houses are either disposed of in the United States or thrown into the waste tanks.

"And you'll be working indoors, where those Armstrongs cgn't see you and holler at you, won't you?" said Kate. So in these days Jerry led a busy and happy life. Yet with all his oc- cupations he found time to be curious and eager about the result of the in- terview between Trask and the Police Commissioner! and one Say durin his lunch hour. he made another call at Trask's office.

CHAPTER XIIL Eventually Jerry received a letter from the Civil Service Commission notifying him that he had passed the has been sent to the Police Commis- sioner, to be acted upon at that of- ficial's discretion. And then the days and weeks went by just as they had done before. At last | Jerry visited the Police and asked the clerk when he might expect appoint- ment. The slerk gave him an unsat- isfactory, vague answer. Jerry derived the impression that the re- commendation of the Civil Service Commission by no means insured ap- pointment to the police force. Dis- quieted "in mind, he went to the head- quarters of the Civil Service Commis- sion and asked for an interview with the chairman. That kindly gentle- man remembered him, looked up his record and told him that his name had stood at the head of the list submit- ted to the Police Commissioner. "Since that date," said the chair- man, "I find that there have been four new patrolmen appointed. We sent on the names of seven candidates. Your turn ought to come soon." «If 1 stood af the head of the li why shouldn't I have been appoin first?" asked Jerry. "You will have to put that questiond to the Police Commissioner." "His clerk wouldnt let me see him, and made me feel that my chances of ever being appointed were pretty doubtful.' - "Well," said the chairman regret- fully, "it's quite true that it isn't mandatory on the Police Commission- er to give an appointment to every one passed by our Board. He can't appoint ary one whom we don't rec ommend; our control stops there." "41 understand," said Jerry. "I should like to ask one other question.
