To Keep Rhubarb For Winter Use
Without Cooking or Sugar.
IJave the jars perfectly air -tight
with new rubber rings. Wash them
thoroughly and sterilize by boiling or
baking them for half an hour. Cut
the rhubarb up as if for stewing and
fill the jars as full as possible, then fill
to overflowing with cold 'water which
has been previously boiled for half an
hour and cooled. Run a Park or
spoon down to break up any air
spaces, After being sure that no air
is left in the jar, white the jar is

away in a cool dark place to keep.
Handle or move the jars as little as
possible.
We have been told that gooseber-

berries will keep if prepared in the

The success of these fruits depends
on having the fruit very fresh and the

Since then no part of the Holy
Lands has been free from the turmoil
of war. ,,As these words are written
the British army is smashing forward
up the way of the land of the Philis-
tines and has reached Canaan. The
cedars of Lebanon have waved their
branches over a Turkish army, Mount
Carmel is an armed camp and the
Temple of Solomon has become a hos-
pital base, The names which we
learned in Sunday school were old
when history was young. To -day they
figure in the reports of a minor thea-
tre of war, and few men know where
the fighting is being done and how.
Climate and Enemy.
Those who do know agree that if
any war can justify the desecration of
the holy places, the heroism of this
war does justify it. In desert and
wilderness, in a country which roasts
under the blazing sun and steams un-
der torrential rains, the British army
has been fighting magnificently. Un-
der their German Ieaders the Turks
have fought well, but they fought in a
land which is familiar to them. The
men from Lancashire and the Miele
-
lands, from Scotland and from New
Zealand fought against the climate
more than against the Turk, and they
seem to have beaten both.

Artificial Coloiring of Sugar
a s
r}�:.ibite . by the Goverriment
OR many years the Canadian Public has been eating
Artificially Colored Sugars. Government reports
show that some refineries have used Ultramarine Blue
to make their granulated sugar look better than it
actually is. Others made use of Aniline and Vegetable Dyes to
give a brilliant appearance to their soft or yellow sugars.
The use of dyes or coloring matter
of any kind is unnecessary in refining
Cane Sugar. This is emphasized in
a notification sent to all refiners by
the Dominion Government prohibit-
ing the coloring of sugar, and in cases
where it is found, prosecution pro-
ceedings will be entered under the
Adulteration of Foods Act.
We Wish the Public to Know that we Have Never Used
Coloring Matter in Lantic Pure Cane Sugar and Never Will
Lantic Pure Cane Sugar was first put on
the market about two years ago. Since
that time over 200,000,000 lbs. have been
consumed by the Canadian Public,
and we are now turning out 750,000 lbs.
of Pure Cane Sugar each day.
The reason for this enormous busi-
ness Isnot hard to explain. It means
that the cliscriminatneg consumer has
learned by actual use that Lantic
Pure Cane Sugar is superior to all
others,
1Javhrgerectod the most modern
sugar refinery in the world, costing
over $4,000,000, we steadfastly
adhered to our original policy of
making only absolutely Pure Cane

During the last two years we were told
that we could increase our business in cer-
tain sections of Canada, if we would color
our yellow soft sugars, as the public
were accustomed to the more brilliant
color, We refused and are glad we did
so. 'Tire recent action of the Govern-
ment has since vindicated our judg-
ment.

The war in the lands of the Bible
can be divided into three parts. Taken
in biblical order, they are the British
advance from Bagdad, the Turkish at-
tack on the Suez Canal and the British
offensive in Syria. The first is the
land where history begins, the birth-
place of the human race in Babylonia
and Mesopotamia. Tho second is in
land of bondage and the third is the
promised land.
The latest advance under Sir Archi-
bald Murray is taking the British
troops straight into the heart of Juda-
ism and Christianity. The advance
started as soon as the danger to the
Suez Canal was considered peel, and
still goes forward. Following close to
the way of the land of the Philistines
and hugging the sea, they came to the
Wady-el-Arish, frequently mentioned
in the Bible as the River of Egypt—
the boundary of Canaan on the south.
But this geographical boundary failed
to impress the soldiers—the country
looked the same and the road before
them was hard and long. But late in
March this year the country began to
change as they advanced. No more
the miles and miles of monotonous,
wearying sand. The country began to
roll up into hillocks, and presently, as
the troops began to come over the rise,
a cheer arose. It came again as fresh
detachments marched over the high
ground and caught sight of the land
below.
A Beautiful Country.
It lay there, green and fresh as an
oasis, with the fields of. unripened bar-
ley shining like emerals in the hot
sun. Against the green of the grain
and of the trees were flashes of crim-
son, blue and yellow, the anemones
and crocuses and lilies and other flow-
ers. It 'rvas tiro Promised Land.
As soon as the camp was pitched
the men took their horses to the grass,
the first good feed since they had be-
gun the advance. The troops had
come from the west and the south,
while the Children of Israel had taken
a longer route and reached Palestine
from the east and the north. But to
both it looked the same, From Mt.
Pisgahor from Rafe, the Land of
Promise is the beauty spot of Syria.
Bible Associations.
Just beyond Rafe the land begins to
be rich in association with the Bible,
Gaza, one of the five cities of the Phil-
istines, can be seen from there, and
the high minaret of the church built
by the Knights Templet's shows high
above the dark green grove of trees
which surrounds the town. It was
here that Joshua fought and here that
Samson lifted "the door's of the gate
of the city and the two posts, and
went away with them, bar and all, and
put them upon his shoulders and car-
ried thein up to the top on a hill that
is before Hebron," This hill, generally
described its a mound nowadays, but
actually at a coesidorable elevation, is
called Ali Muntar, From it the ob-
server of the Battle of Gaza saw the
lines 'forming for the attack. The in -
6111;17 sent up aline of dust clouds;
the cavalry another, denser and high-
er' still, so that the observer could see
neither horse nor man, and only the
snap of the rifle and of the machine
gun told him that this was not ariothor
battle for the fertile plaits between
Pliilietine and Israelite,
