S. asks: "Is it necessary to sterilize jars by covering them with water?" Answer: No. Wash jars and tops in warm, soapy water. Rinse. Invert jars in two inches of water in a. pan (e.g., dishpan). A broiling pan rack placed in the bottom of the pan will prevent jars from taking up the water. Immerse glass tops- and utensils in water, Boil for 12 mins. Plunge rub- bers into boiling water, then out, when canning. Mrs. D. asks: "What Ontario fruits will jell easily?" Answer: (1) Those containing suf- ficient pectin and sufficient acid for jellying are: sour apples, currants, cranberries, gooseberries, Concord grapes and sour plums. but (2) Those containing pectin needing 4-6 tbs, lemon juice for each quart to make sufficient acid are: sweet plums, quinces, blueberries, raspberries and sweet apples. NOTE: Instead of adding lemon juice, these fruits may be used in dombination with tart fruits, e.g., blueberries with rhubarb; raspber- ries with red currants; strawberries with gooseberries, etc. * * * Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o The Advance-Times.

Turnips, excellent "fill-in" or 'fol- low-up" crops, can be planted where early seeds failed to come up or fol- low an early crop, Turnips are best grown in spring Or fall as they do not develop properly during the heat of summer, Seeds sown at the end of July provide a late fall and winter crop. TURNIPS ARE BEST FOR TABLE USE WHEN NOT MORE THAN TWO INCHES IN DIAMETER Turnips for "follow-up" crop] in victory gardens Like all quick-growing vegetables, turnips, to be at their best, should be used for the table when two to three inches thick. As they grow larger they become tough and woody and the flavour is stronger. Plant turnip seeds about one-quar- ter to one-half inch deep in the soil. When the plants attain a height of two to three inches, thin them, leaving about five to six inches between the plants. The thinnings are delicious as boiled greens. Household Hints By MRS. MARY MORTON Man "Eat your carrots; they're good for you." How many youngsters have been given this admonition and still haven't liked carrots. They are good for all of us, and it is too bad if we don't like them. They contain vit- amin A content, which is very helpful in keeping the eyes in good condition. Many children will eat raw carrot sticks With relish, but they have to be coaxed to eat them cooked. There are a number of other ways to serve car- rots that help make them appetizing for those who are not fond of this bright-colored vegetable.

Cooked, carrots are best steamed until tender, and ser- ved with butter and a sprinkling of parsley. Crisp carrot sticks are made by slicing the carrots into thin sticks, which are then crisped in ice water. A little lemon juice added to the butter served over carrots gives them a nice flavor, and a few drops of onion juice is a help if one likes the flavor. Chop- ped or grated carrot and peanuts are a pleasant combination for a salad, Mix and serve on lettuce. Carrots may also be combined with green peas or celery, or whole tender, cooked green onions.

Canadians Will Be In Attack Ottawa, - Prime Minister King said in the House of Commons that the *day is coming--"it may be close at hand"-when the army "will have an honored place in the van of attack," "The Canadian Army is not an instru ment built only to resist attack," Mr. King said in a brief statement on the 75th anniversary of Confederation. "It by Alan MUM *dye Imbeeelst MORE CANNING LESS SUGAR Hello Homemakers! Although ad- ditional sugar is being provided for acanning, still there won't be the gener- ous amount needed to sweeten sou? cherries or to make Grandma's rich jams. However, we're better without too much rich food, With adequate equipment, fruit may be canned without sugar. But sugar helps to preserve fruits, so if you in- tend to do without it do pay special attention to choosing good quality fruit and to sterilization. For this method we recommend only raspberries, blue- berries, •currants, plums and rhubarb. After packing your fruit in jars, crush until the juice overflows or cover with boiling water. Then adjust tops and process in oven or water bath, allow- ing 5 minutes longer than usual cook- ing period. One advantage of canning your fruits with some sugar is that the sugar helps fruit keep its colour, shape and flavour. A thin syrup made by boiling 3 cups of sugar in 6 cups of water for 1 minute yields 7 cups - enough to fill 7 quarts of small fruit. There are alternatives to sugar: honey for jams but not for strawber- ries; raspberries or cherries; corn syrup, used in the proportion of half sugar and half syrup for small amounts of jam and jellies, increasing the amount of sugar when canning sour fruit. * * * * SYRUP FOR FRUITS IN WARTIME For sweet fruit - 1 cup sugar to it cups water. For mild fruit - 1 cup sugar to 2 cups water. Stir until dis- solved and bring to boiling point. Quantity of Syrup Required For large fruits - allow approxi- mately 1 cup syrup per pint jar. For small fruits - allow approximately % cup syrup per pint jar. Subsitutes for Sugar White Corn Syrup - substitute 1% cups corn syrup for each cup sugar. Honey - ordinarily 1 cup honey equals 1 cup sugar. Time and Temperature for Fruit Electric over at 300 degrees for 30 mins. •for 8 to 12 pint jars, using only bottom element switch on and shelf adjusted 4" from bottom element. Hot water bath at boiling point for 25-20 mins, for 8 to 12 pint jars. * * * * TAKE A TIP 1. New rubber sealer rings are cheaper than the loss of a single jar of can- ned fruit but try to salvage last year's rubber rings. To test: first bend double, a useless ring will Government Bulletin On Home Canning Successful home oanning depends on destroying all bacteria, yeasts, and moulds, and sealing the product in air tight containers, so that no. contamin- ation can take place to cause spoilage. At the same time the natural colour and flavour should be preserved. How this can be done is explained in the revised household bulletin, No. 8, "Canning Fruits and Vegetables". Full information is given on check- ing equipment, washing and steriliza- tion of jars, testing jar rings, selection of product, grading or sorting product, washing and peeling, blanching when required, preparation of syrup, packing jars, processing or sterilizing, sealing, cooling, and storing, together with a time table for cooking and canning the various fruits, and a time table for vegetables. Special recipes are also given for tomato juice and tomato ,20. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 5. Turkish 27. Short-billed 1. Head cook magistrate rail 5. A handle 6. Bare 30. Kind of 9. Berry 7.
