Extra Fine Rhubarb Marmalade
Often while travelling on our rail-
way train we. notice when passing
station houses andrailway men's
dwellings that those who have gar-
dens nearly always have patches' of
rhubarb. , With very little expense
this fruit can be made into very de-
licious marmalade which rivals in ap-
1 pearance and flavor a much more
O costly fruit marmalade. It is tooth -
1 some, indeed, without being too
o sweet. Here is nay favorite recipe:
0 11 Ibs. rhubarb
p 7114 lbs. sugar
o 4 ozs. shaved almonds (sweet)
0 1 oz. bitter almonds
0 (if latter not available use 3% ts1ins
almond extract).
2 tspns. red coloring
Wash and dry, but do not peel the
rhubarb stalks. Cut them with sharp
knife in V4 inch pieces. Place them
and the sugar in layers into an enam-
el preserving kettle.. Put cover on and
let stand in a cool place far 24 hours.
Cook the juice that forms •for 30 min-
utes on a hot fire, tinning it from the
start of boiling. Pour hot juice over
rhubarb and let stand 24 hours. Then
place the kettle on the stove and cook
stirring steadily, for about 2'% hours.
The rnarmalade should be clear and
drop in chunks from the spoon. Af-
ter two hours' boiling the almond
should be added, then the flavoring
and coloring when the kettle is re-
moved from the, fire.

If the Huron pitching staff holds up
as well all season as it did on the holi-

of the twirlers that the Ports eked
out a 3-2 win over the Hurons on Fri-
day, as Colvin, J. Tiffin,' Chalmers &
Co. limited the Ports to three hits,
all doubles, and allowed only one

Outstanding for the Hurons was the

Jack Colvin, the former collecting 3
hits of the hard-hit type, while Colvin
struck out nine men in the three in-
nings he worked. A walk and the first
of Freckleton's two doubles off him,
were the only earned run the Ports
got. Joe Tiffin was very unfortunate
to have two runs scored off him, two
bad errors doing the trick. Frecicleton

ble and took third when Joe commit-

a wild pitch, Finlayson's double that

Rhubarb, besides being delicious, is

It can be used ix: so many ways that
the family will not tire of it during

You won't have to worry about left-

12 RULES FOR
TIRE HEALTH
There are 12 simple rules for tire
health, which if followed, would cut
the average motorist's tire bill ,any
where from 25 to 50 per cent. annual-
ly, writes K. D. Snaith, technical sup-
erintendent, tire division, of the B, F.
Goodrich Company, Akron, Ohio, in
a recent issue of The American Leg-
ion Monthly. Those rules are:
1. Maintain recommended or rated
air pressure at all times. The recom-
mended. pressureis a minimum below
which tires should never be allowed
to fall. Norshould pressure be. kept
much above this figure.
2. Whenever yott put on a new tire
or whenever a tire has been off the
da not start on a long drive with
implicit faith that its air 'pressure' is
correct. A tire may lose several
pounds' of pressure immediately after
it is put on the rim. Have it checked
three or four miles' down the road.

3. Do not run a constantly
the same wheel, Shift your tires from
wheel to wheel, which, will produce
evert wear,

4. Do .not rely on the generally
accepted theory that it is all right to
run old tires on the back wheels,' be-,
cause a rear tire blow-out is less dan-
gerous than one in front. A rear tire
blow-out is every bit as dargerotus as
one in front.
5. Don't go around corners at high
speeds. It wears tires faster than any-
thing else.

12. If your car begins 'to steer
queerly, slow down, pull off the road,
and inspect all four tire,s carefully.
Often this action comes when a tire
is preparing to blow. Inspection may
prevent an accident.
