'The Editor,
The Posit,
Brussels, Ont.,
Dear sir: '
During the' last Great W.ar,.while
living in Western',Canada, ,part of
my voluntary service ' was con-
cerned' with Food Conservation,
There developed great' need- for•
economical w'ays''of preserving gar-
den surpluses, .and to this ` end I
devoted much attention and was
alnec'esffiM do ; itea'ching,' ' mainly
-through the Press, many thousands
of women who hed never'pratiously
tried t0save food In this; manner,
a also established a Red Cross
Canning Kitchen in Calgary, which
'I personally directed where, with
Voluntary assistants) we canned and
preserved thousands' of jars of food
for. the Returned Soldiers' Hospit-
als.
Today women are anxious to get
startedi on patriotic work and the
spirit should be fostered.
There fe clanger •of waste alt
around us, because of a bountiful'
crop both In orchards and gardens,
and a. sugar problem to fade. Avail-
able food may be urgently needed.
I out submitting the enclosed
article as a starter.
Owing to the lateness of the Sea-
son, it should to be of use, be
published at once.
'IMO more articles dealing with
such products es) maystill. be in
the gardens will be mailed without
deity,
I wculd not care to accept remun-
eration.
Yours, very truly,

• Sugarless canning of fruits has
.proved' go successdul that many
prefer it to the old method of can-
ning with sugar. You wa:1 ne
surprised at the delicate flavor of
raw fruit which this method retains.
Sugarless cauninig•wilt resent in a
decided economy, for even if sugar
is adder when Sowing the -canned
fruit, the amount theu used, will. be.
much less than the amount' which
would hate been' 'used in carping
with sugar, the reason for this is
that all Pratte contain acids, ant,
when cane sugar le cooked with a
procluot• containing aclds safe of the
snvee'tening._prpgenty of the sugar is
less and fruits, therefore, are sweet
'eued with less sugar after they
have been cooked, 'Moreover,
falter' vary so largely in the natter
of sugar that whale each person is
allowed to sweeten to taste it will
be found that many prefer to use
little or no sugar in order to retain
the original fruit flavor unspoiled.
The addition of sugar is not
nece'rvnry to preserve the fruits
from decay, and, titer in the propor.
tion usual in sinning, It taitea• no
part whatever in theirpreservation
for, In order that sugar may act as
a preservative it must be used In

use may be canned succeelefully
without previous experience, as the
process of sterilization is •simple
enough for even young girls to ob-
tain perfect results.
This year, before frost spoils the
tender vegetables and greens still
remaining in the garden, women
enenawhere should iook out every
available empty Jar and 1111 them,
with mixed, vegetables for soups
