Do we ever think that (Experimental Farms News). • The preparation and preservation of fruit juices is quite a -simple mat- ter and is an ideal way to make use of surplus and under -sized fruite, writes R. W. Arengo-Jones; Division of Horticulture, Central Experiment- al Farm, Ottawa. Apples, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, cherries, currants and other fruitsprovide juices which not only are very pal- atable but have high dietetic value as well ,and since fruit juices have taken -a definite place in everyday meals, these native Canadian juices form a welcome change from the few now commonly used. The preparation of apple juice is not advised unless a suitable mill and press is available, since fine milling of the fruit followed by pressure is necessary to effect extraction. Plans for building small presses may be ob- tamed from the Division - of Her- ticulture, Central Experimental Farm Ottawa, • For home use the preparation of soft -fruit juices is a very simple mat- ter. The fruit, following sorting and cleaning, is heated to about 170-180 degrees F., (ijf no thei urometer ' is available the fruit will begin to boil around the edge at this temperature) with a little water. Following crush- ing and thorough mixing, the juice is recovered by .straining through a jelly bag or by pressing in a small press. The juice should then be plac- ed in a jug or crock which' is as tall and narrow as possible, and left to stand for 24 hour or so in a cool place. This will clear the juice and the clear part may then be poured off the sediment. It may then be bottled "as is" or may be diluted and sweetened to taste and in either case is heated to 180 degrees F., or incip- ient boiling and -filled into bottles, jars or cans at the top .temperature. Each container as it is filled should be sealed and inverted to cool. Tin cans should be sealed, inverted for a few minutes and then cooled in water. Special instructions are available for those wishing to bottle and can fruit juices for sale, in which case filtration is advisable and the product so made and preserved that it will stay clear for at least a year. Certain fruits such as apricots, prunes and peaches are hest made into a "squash". In this case the fruit is coolced until soft and then passed trough a fine screen to maks it into a puree.. To this is added sugar and water and the product bottled or canned. most important. thing in life -,their e i pm. shall assemble ixu this. church to rend- s SUBSTANTIAL SUMMER SALADS Katharine Baker Though Salads are popular and necessary to our dietall year round, they reach the height of their use- fulness during the summer. I't is now, because of the availability of salad ingredients, the ease with which they. can be prepared and served, that they take first place in summer meals. Moulded salads are partic- ularly attractive looking and lend an air of festivity to the simple meal. Practical because they can be made hours ahead of serving time and economical because the scantiest left- overs can he combined in them, there is a spot in any meal for a jellied salad, whether lunch, dinner, supper or a picnic. Either of these substantial salads gives an appetizing main dish which with rye bread sandwiches and potato dhips, followed by fresh fruit for deosert, makes a complete and thor- ough satisfying meal.

Remedy for Deficient Diet Speeches delivered before the Pac- ific Science Congress hint that the day when we shall take our food in small pellets or in small gulps of liquid is not far off. Scientists now advocate treatment of foods in a way which will give low income families a proper diet. Reports reveal the average diet of the low income group is deficient in calcium, iron and some of ` the vit- amins. Students of the subject sug- gest that the lacking materials be added artifically to the mainstays of { those diets. Dr, H. II. Mitchell or the University of Illinois suggested that the white bread, sugar and meat diet of low income families should be "Spiked" with 'substances necessary for health. He said this might be done by "shkting" the dough with calcium or by increasing in the bread recipe the quantity of milk solids which are high in calcium content. Dr. Frederick Tisdall of the Uni- versity of Toronto said that some Toronto bakeries have thisunder con- sideration. C. C. Clark, Professor of materia medics in the Ontario College of Pharmacy points out that synthetical- ly produced vitamins present possib- ilities for mass production and dis- tribution of vitamins on a scale which could raise to normal the nutrition standard of the whole nation, er thanks to God for His blessings." The parishionershad responded like Christian men and women, Bishop Seager said, and credit was due to the whole community of Mitchell for their co-operation in Trinity's time 02 distress. - Rev. R. C. Capper, rector of Trinity, expressed the gratitude of himself and his parishioners for the participation of Archbishop Hackenly and Bishop Seager. Also on the plat- form. were Rev. F.

I£ you have been finding mental excuses 'for not getting to work on jams and jellies, itle probably be. cause you think it -a tiresome task. You may think that it will take long, hot !lours on days when you would rather, - like Ferdinand the Bull, sit in the shade of a tree and smell the pretty flowlers. But !the• modern "short boil" method for jams and jellies will leave you plenty of time for such activities, . Besides the sav- ing in labour which this method makes possible, .half again as much jam or jelly can be made from the same amount of fruit as could be from the old-fashioned long -boil method, - There are times when nothing can take the place of the tartness, the pleasant "bite" of red or black cur- rant jolly.
