WOoM AN’S PAGE, THE Home Canning and Preserving. BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. The great season for home canning * and preserving is now in full swing. Apart from the consideration of any PECTIN SHOULD NOT BE DETECT- ABLE IN THE JELLY. special fruit or vegetable and from any preforred methed of doing up the same, thera are certain things that are appli- cabl> to all, that should be remembered. Mirror Enlarges Room | JF the room is too small, it may be enlarged with a mirror. If it is dark, it may be made lighter with a mitror. If it is inconvenient, a mirror may o, used to remedy that defect. If it is dull and withcut character, mirror may be used to give it sparkle and life. Mirrors have always been used to improve the appearance of our houses Like pools and fountains in old-time gardens, which reflected the lovely lines of the houses beside them or cast sparkling, dancing shadows on their ‘walls or increased the apparent size of the gardens, mirrors have been used for centuries with a full appreciation of the part they play in making our surroundings more attractive. To be eifective, mirrors must be ar- ranged with intelligence. For the woman who just doesn't have that kind . of . intelligence—and many women haven't; they know when things look right, but they don't'know just how to place them to make them look right— it is always possible to get expert a vice from interior decorators or furni ture departments about hanging mir- ors. Here are some suggestions from a clever decorator about placing mirrors that might be helpful to anybody fur- nishing a house—or hanging a new mirror: Always remember that the view re- flected by the mirror, should be attrac- tive. Place the mirror where it will re- flect not a dark doorway, but a pretty view of a garden, an attractively fur- nisted corner of a room, a door looking | into another cheerful room. Don't hang mirrors where they will reflect light unattractively. A mirror hung where it reflects the sun for hours a day makes a glaring, unattractive 8pot. To use mirrors so that they increase the size of a room, place them so that they reflect a view, a vista of some sort. ‘This can sometimes be done by placing them so that they reflect win- dows, sometimes so that they reflect a wide door into another room or a hall- way. Sometimes a long, low mirror placed over a fireplace makes the room seem much larger, and sometfmes very tall, narrow mirrors. two of them, placed at different sides of the room, do the trick. . It is possible to make almost any room in the house more convenient with a mirror or two. The entrance hall immediately takes on a new air of wel- come and a greater usefulness when it sports a mirror on the wall, for 1t be- | comes more cheerful and, as it is pro- vided with a means of telling whether DAILY DIET RECIPE TOMATO-CAULIFLOWER SLAW. Shredded raw caulifiower, 1 cup. ‘Tomato slices, 12. Green pepper Strips, 8. Raw egg yolk, 1. Vinegar, 14 cup. Prepared mustard, 1 teaspoon. Sugar, 1 teaspoon. Paprika, 15 teaspoon. Salad oil, 1 teaspoon. Cream, 1 teasvo:n. Salt, 1 teaspoon. SERVES FOUR PORTIONS. Shred the little flowerettes of the caulifiower. Place tomato slices on salad plates and deco- rate with-a lattice or criss-cross of fl'een pepper strips. Surround with the caulifiower. Make dress- ing by combining the oil, vine- gar, mustard, sugar, paprika and salt and place over the fire and stir until heated throughout. Then add the beaten egg yolk and cook until thick, stirring con- stantly. Allow to cool and add the cream. Use as a dressing for the salad. DIET NOTE. Reclpe furnishes fiber, a little sugar, some fat. Rich in iron, lime, vitamins A, B and C. Can :‘mum ll:y lduns‘ot normal di-| who are of average or underweight. | Choose fine fruit. The best makes the finest kind to serve in Winter when | the fresh varieties are not available or | are too expensive for the average purse. | Overrips fruits do not retain any of the desirable firm quality whencooked. The tendency is to lose it. When such fruit is packed, it is apt to break, or if not then, when it is taken from the | jar. ‘The result is a mussy-looking dish instead of a fresh appearing one. Overripe fruit will not jell well. It | will not be firm and hard, but have a sirupy texture. If all that is available of the fruit wantad for the jelly is over- ripe, add the juice of apples. It is full of that necessary jelly-hardening in- gredient, pectin. Expert cooks can de- tect such added pectins whether com- mercial or homemade, unless used very sparingly. So do not mix the flavors of vour jelly by such addition if avoidable. But be glad that there are such ingre- dients when fruit is overripe. The favor is not pure with the outside pec- tin, but it is good. Fcr instance, apple jelly is delicious, but when grape jelly is served, for instance, the grape flavor should be pronounced. It spoils variety to have a semblance of the same flavor about all jellies. In canning have jars heated before filling them lest they break with the sudden bolling heat of contents. Fill | the jars full to overflowing so that air | is excluded. To further this run a | flexible knife blade around the inside of the jar before sealing it, and when the bubbles escape pour on a trifle more uice. ¥ Rubbers must fit well, and not have lost their elasticity. They must re- bound to entirely keep out air after covers are snapped or screwed down. Turn jars upside down for some hours after being filled and sealed. See that they are dry when overturned and that there is no water or juice on the tray cor table on which they stand. If during this time any liquid seeps out, the con- tants of any particular jar must be cooked again and bottled. If the liquid cooks away in the rescalding process, and the jar is not absolutely full for sealing, add a little boiling hot water to make the jar overflow before sealing it. (Copyright, 1931.) To Keep Flowers. Put cut flowers in a glass of cold water and place them in the refrigerator to keep until wanted. Flowers will keep fresh and pretty for several hours for table decorations if placed in the Tefrigerator after each meal. Do not | place in the coldest place. Fiowers can | be worn after being in the refrigerator | for several days. Many pecple own | treasured vases, particularly tall, wide- mouthed ones, which they do not use | because of the difficulty in arranging | flowers in them. This difficulty may be overcome by cutting a circle of stiff | cardboard just a little larger than the | top of the vase, and punching hoies in | it at convenient spaces for the stems. | This, when pressed into the top of the | vase, will hold the flowers firmly in the | desired arrangement. Flowers sent by ! mail in hot weather will travel well if | they are rolled in newspaper. The first | sheet should be damp and the second dry. Wet, but not soaked, strips of | cloth should be wrapped round the! stems. Peach Butter. | Four cups peaches, four cups sugar. | one-third cup lemon juice, one teaspoon | cinnamon, one teaspoon cloves, one- | | fourth teaspoon nutmeg. | Mix ingredients and boil gently un-! til mixture thickens.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. | Lois took time off one afternoon to go to a style show. She had to buy a new coat, but quite undecided which to get. Hence her visit. She tried to get Nancy to go with her, but Nancy begged off. She was not buying a new Winter coat this year, and anyway she | | did not feel up to the trip downtown. The warm Summer weather was rather hard on her. | Lois came home with glowing reports of the show. “Fur is going to be ex- tremely fashionable. But most of it seems to be concentrated on the upper part of the coat. Huge collars of long- haired furs with equally larg> cuffs give an air of opulence to many of the wrapsy Quite frequently the fur is not put on directly at neck of coat but edges or finishes a collar of cloth.” | “Suits are going to be exceedingly good. And most of them are going to |show the smaller walistline. That is definitely in the picture and is shown in all silhouettes. With that comes a Jower flare to the skirt. And something N of a fitied hipline is achieved by a i peplum cffect. For instance, I saw one suit in deep wine red with a large collar | shaped to simulate lapels. The lower part of the collar was cut.so wide that it made the waist seem even snugger and smaller than it really was. And the fitted peplum gave a trim line to the ps. “Then the coat splurged with fur at| the elbows of the eves. Thet seems to be a popular place to put fur. I can't say that it seems very practical, but it is certainly a new note. We began to t, you remember, in the Summer ell, what did you buy?” Nothing.

OT only famous as a blister Taiser, but as having a most | interesting life cycle, this beetle is known all over the United States _and Europe. When young she is a great friend of ours, her diet consisting of grasshopper eggs. As a grown bettle her actions are any- thing but kindly. She not only ruins our vegetable gardens, but she will coze a vellow fluid on us, raising a blister that burns like fury. However, she has her use in medici- nal practices. The bodies of beetles are dried and made into a paste and used in_this way. The parents are long-legged. slender creatures with two black stripes on the backs of their heads, shoulders and wings. They have jointed feelers. com- pound eyes and are dressed in dull yel- low or reddish yellow. About three days after mating the mother digs a shallow room and in it | laces about 30 pale yellow, elongated eggs, about one-twelfth of an inch long. Then she covers them with dirt and goes about making another room. Ten to twenty days later vellowish- brown youngsters with broad shoulders, compound eyes, six long legs and two long streamers at the tips of their bodies will be seen scurrying about.| They are very active. Their one aim is to find the egg pod of a grasshopper. They can live and be just as enegetic for “two weeks without food. When their search is over, they cut into the pod with their strong jaws and eat the grasshopper eggs—about two each day. In eight days the baby molts and is white, with a smaller head, shorter legs and it has lost the streamers. His habit seems to be that of curling his abdomen beneath him. Still consuming the eggs for enother week, he again changes form. The! mouth parts are much smaller and the | legs shorter, while the body is stouter and y_curved. From now on he| grows rapidly, takes on a vellowish tint and becomes full grown. Ten days aft- | ring the pod the youngster has d form several times and nine later is full grown. Leaving his late domicile, he wanders about in the soil. Then he constructs a room with smooth walls and sheds a part of his clothing. ‘This time he rests while transforming and often will lie dormant for one or two years. When he finally awakens he has the same form he began with, only smaller and saler in color. Again he transforms into a pupa and in two weeks makes his way out of the earth. Hungry, lonely and determined to make his way, he soon finds company and & mate. In great numbers they visit the vege- table patches, Gardens look so de- jected after a company of beetles has dined that the owners often give them up as lost. This is not necessary. Con- trol measures could be used to drive the beetles away and the plants would Tecover somewhat from their attack. (Copyright, 1931.) - MENU FOR A DAY, BREAKFAST. Apple Sauce.

Don't be a poor, weak eature without cnough backbone o the right thing the thing that will help the man you love. sk bt ¥ Don't make your husband sorry he married you. That is what he will be if you keep on with the cry-baby act, weeping to go back to mother and the girls. He will curse the day he married you if you blast his prospects in life by forcing him to give up his big opportunity and go back home and settle down into some little job that hasn’t any future to it. OVE isn't everything to a man, my child. Especially it isn't every- thing to a real go-getter, such as you have married. There is also his carcer. His life work. His ambition. And a wife interferes with that at her peril. No man ever really forgives a woman who stands be- tween him and success and who balks him in doing the work that he set out to do. Possibly you can nag your husband into giving up his work in which he is interested and in which he has his big chance and induce him to go back home. But don't deceive yourself into thinking that you will be happy. You won't, because he will be irritable and discontented and will forever reproach you for having stood in the way of his advancement. ] GRANT that while it lasts homesickness is a malady that devastates your soul.

Broad of wing and with marvelous . the Western cousin of King Eagle he white head kept watch over a ver; of country. It was Talons the Golden Eagle. There was little that went on that he did not see, for whether he was lazily perched on a of tall tree or a cliff, or sailing just be-| neath the clouds, his sharp eyes were ever sefirching the ground. He knew all about the arrival of Farmer Brown's Boy and Flip the terrier. He could have told you what they did and where they went each day. They did not in- terest him much in themselves, but they did interest him because of their effects on the little peopls in fur and feathers whom they were forever dis- turbing, often frightening. S0 it was that Talons soon discovered Twitchtail the Squirrel was teas- ing Flip. At first Talons had giv matter no particular attention. don't_look out that silly Squirrel w get himself in a peck of trouble, thought Talons. “That Dog is smart, and one of these days he will be too smart for Twitchtail.

But Talons long ago learned to take note of little things, and presently he saw that Twitchtall was so busy teasing Flip that he wasn't keeping a proper watch, for other hunters. A new interest gleamed in those keen eyes. “I must keep an eye on those fel- lows.” he muttered. “That Twitchtail must be losing his senses. He hasn't eves for anything but that dog.

Less and less often did he look up in the air for Hawks or Eagles. And then one morning he learned a lesson he never forgot as long as he lived. It happened this way: Twitchtail was a lttle farther than usual from his doorway under the big rock. From the top of that rock he had seen Flip coming. At once Twitch- tail had scampered to meet him. He was feeling particularly good that morning, so he went just a little far- ther than usual, sure that when the time came he could reach the safety of home before Flip could catch him. He | had eyes for no one but the approach- {ing Flip. He sat very straight, watch- ing Flip draw nearer and nearer. denly Flip saw him, and with a yelp started for him as only that lively little Dog could.

He was almost there when the | sun was shut off an instant and a moy- {ing shadow crept over him. At the | same time there was the hiss of stiff | wing feathers. He knew what it meant. | He had heard that sound before. More {than once he had seen a careless | neighbor disappear forever at the hiss of wings. He forgot Flip. His one thought now was to reach that door- way in the very next jump, for he felt sure that if he failed to he never would reach it. Poor Twitchtail! In that one little minute he realized how very foolish he had been. He knew that now he would be likely to pay, and pay dearly, for his carelessness. He plunged for that open door, that little hole under the rock, and for two or three minutes after he didn't know just what did hlgen. In- deed, he never did know all about it.

Shoes Better for Feet. Sprained and strained ankles are not 50 prevalent as they used to be, for the obvious reason that low shoes are worn all the time by almost every one nowa- |days. Our ankles may have become | larger as‘a result, but they have be- | come immeasurably stronger. The old- | time closely laced or buttoned shoes prevented the ankle muscles from de- | veloping as they should. Consequently when low shoes or slippers were worn strains or sprains frequently followed. ‘\ One doctor, in commenting on the decrease in sprained and strained ankles, remarked that of late years many women came to him for treat- ment of puffy insteps. They imagined frequently that this condition was due |to some organic disorder, but in most | cases it was due to an easily remedied difficulty. Tight garters or bloomer elastics frequently restrict the circula- |tion so that both ankles and insteps tend to swell. Sometimes insteps become enlarged |and swollen as a result of a real strain or bruise. Shoe straps that are too | tight or shoes cut too high in the vamp frequently press against the instep enough to irritate it. Nature comes to the rescue and puffs the ankle—pro- viding a sort of cushion to protect the nerves and ligaments and muscles. ‘Woman motorists sometimes strain their insteps as a result of driving in | high-heeled shoes. To prevent this you * |do not have to give up your beloved ‘hl&h heels. An excellent plan is to provide yourself with a pair of flate | heeled sports oxfords which you may keep in a flap of your car. Then when you are going to motor for any distance slip off your high-heeled siippers in your car and don your motoring shoes, | e T \ | Continuous depression prevailed ! after the panic of 1893 for four years.

Many important uses Kleenex is invaluable in the nurs- ery. It saves towels when mani- curing. Motorists like to keep a package always in the automobile. Kleenex packages are Cello- hane-wrapped for perfect clean- iness, and are designed to permit removal of tissues easily with one hand. All drug, dry goods and department stores sell Kleenex. IF YOU HAVE HAY FEVER ... use Kleenex instead of handker- chiefs! You use each tissue just once, and thus have a fresh, dry one every time—so essential to comfort. Kleenex actually costs less than laundering. 125 KLEENEX Disposasie TISSUES
