With the improvement in Can- ada's U.S. dollar supply, there is increasing expectation that Ot- tawa may soon begin to enlarge the present quota on imports from the United States. Any progres- sive relaxing of import restric- tions is almost certain to include fruits and vegetables, but there are some who 'believe it may .in- volve textiles ahead of anything else, Imports of British textiles do not seem to be reaching antici- pated levels, Some critics blame this on the British themselves, claiming that the Unjted King- dom exporter seems too anxious to sell Canada high-priced fab- rics when, as one Ottawa corre- spondent puts it, the Canadian consumer wants middle and low- priced cotton products. There are those who take the view that the British exporters will not be able to meet their target and that the. government at Ottawa will be forced to: boost the import quota from the United States in order to look after Canadian require- ments. Whatever happens; it would seem reasonable to conclude that Canadian textile mills must now be humming. Paradoxically, this apparently is not the case. In- stead of working day and night to 'help fill the domestic some - Canadian textile mills are closing down for short periods because of lack of orders. Usu- ally, at this time of the year, orders are placed for fall lines. This year, however, 'many big buyers are playing cautious. They fear a fall drop in prices and do not 'want to be caught with large high-priced inventories on hand. The logic behind this feasoning: is obscure. With prices of raw ma- terials still rising, and with no foreseeable decline in wage levels, it is difficult to understand how prices of finished articles drop at this time. On the con- trary, the longer mills are idle, the less chance there is of satis- fying the demand. Instead of helping Mr. Average Consumer get his Canadian-made shirts and underwear at reasonable prices, this policy would seem more like- ly to result in a situation in which these articles will cost him more than ever. A man who claims he's Boss in his home will lie about other things, too. Il | BUSINESS DIRECTORY T. S. H.

If you follow the directions during the making of preserves, you will have delect- able jelly for your cupboard shelves. JELLY MAKING 1. Fruits should be slightly under- ripe and fresh. 2. Fruits that jell readily are currants, gooseberries, sour plums, grapes, crabapples and sour apples. Other fruits, biue- berries, sweet apples and black- berries, will jell if an acid juice of lemon or rhubarb is added. 3. Fruits which are Read on low in both acid and pectin are straw- berries, peaches, pears and pineapple. These = should be blended with fruits that jell or with commercial pectin. Diréc- tions for pectin crystals or liquid should be followed care- fully in regard to one minute fast boil. TAKE A TIP 1. One quart or 3 pints of juice is sufficient to male into jelly at one. time. : 2. Juice should be made by add- ing little, or mo water to crushed or chopped fruit. .Add 1 cup of water to barely cover chopped apples and: under-ripe currants.) Bring to a boil and cook quickly, stirring constant- ly, for 8 to 15 minutes-or until pulp is soft. 3. Drain pulp through cheesecloth for 3 or 4 hours without press- ing the bag. You may drain in a puree placed in a large pan, then strain through a cloth to obtain clear juice. 4. Measure the fruit juice into a deep saucepan and then boil rapidly for 8 to 10 minutes and test for, pectin quality. 5. Pectin test: To 1 tablespoon cooked- fruit juice add 1 tea- spoon sugar and 1 teaspoon Epsom salts. 'Stir until salts dissolve, then let stand 20 min- utes. If large particles form it will make good jelly. If it does not jell, bottle as fruit juice or add lemon juice or pectin. 6. Skim the juice. Measure sugar using % cup to each cup of fruit juice and add. If you warm the sugar slightly in a moderate oven it gives a clearer jelly. 7. Boil only 3 to 5 minutes after adding the sugar. Stir; it boils frothy. To test when jelly is done, let Some of the hot syrup fall from the side of the stirring spoon -.. jelly is done when it sheets from the spoon or when the two last drops form a large drop. Pour into sterilized glasses. 9. Seal with a thin layer of melt- ed paraffin (softened over hot water) when jelly is cold. Add a second layer next day. THE QUESTION BOX In reply to Mrs. T. Cs ques- tion: Is it wise to make a second extraction from the pulp in a jelly bag? Only attempt second and third extractions with fruit that jells rapidly. Put pulp into saucepan and add enough water to prevent burning, then stir until it is hot and drain again. RASPBERRY -- CURRANT JELLY Extract the juice .from rasp- berries and- currants separately and use the same quantity of each; or use three-fourths cur- rants to one-fourth raspberries, the raspberries having more pro- riounced flavour. Use 1 cup sugar to 1 cup of juice. Combine juice and sugar and boil rapidly until jelly test is obtained. (A candy thermometer should register 218 to 222 degrees.) Pour into glasses and seal when cool. MATRIMONY JAM Use equal parts of apples, firm pears, plums and peaches. Wash and core apples and pears but do not peel. Stone plums; peel and stone peaches. Cut all fruit into small pieces." Weigh and add % pound of sugar for every pound of fruit. Allow to stand until the sugar is dissolved; overnight if possible. Be sure the fruit is covered with the sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil and hoil for 20 minutes. Seal in sterilized jars, One pound of each fruit males about two quarts of jam.
