The canning season will soon be here and in these strenuous times it behooves us to make everything count and every little bit helps. Fresh, dried and preserved fruits are sources of energy-forming rather than of tissue-forming material. Grape juice and other freshly expressed juices are pleasant and wholesome. They can be preserved for winter use at home. Fruit syrups made by adding sugar to the juice are extensively used in the household and in other ways. The extended use of fruit in the diet is justified on the ground of palata- bility and food value, but others seek a further justification on the score of hygiene. It is commonly conceded H, I love that, it makes me feel so good inside,” said a . o little six-year-old boy when B i) asked why he liked a certain GERl¥ poem. Poetry is the music of words. Poems are more easy to re- member than prose because of their rhyme. In prose we have things told just as though we were talking to each other. Prose is used to tell almost any kind of a story or to describe anything. There are beautiful scenes in the world, grand things in history ' and noble thoughts that can be much better de- scribed in poetry. When our far-off forefathers could not even read or write they had poets who went with them into battle and after the victory these poets or ‘bards’ as they were called would compose verses of fine-sounding words to cele- brate the victory. These verses were sung while they played the harp. Per- haps in this way poetry began and men found they could best utter their bhappiness by choosing words of a musical sound. There are three kinds of poetry. Pramatic poetry is written in the form of people speaking to each other as in the plays of Shakespeare. Then we have epic poetry which is usually a description of some great event, or hero, or the history of a nation. The third is called lyric poetry because it was originally intended to be sung to the playing of the lyre. All beautiful songs fall in the lyric class of poetry. We know poems sometimes rhyme and sometimes they do not. The num-" ber of syllables in a line of poetry de- pends on the plan of the poet. We-can train oursetves to'know when there are too many or too few for the plan. This also helps in the rhythm of music. Much of our finest poetry has no rhyme in it. A poem with no rhyme is called ‘blank verse.’ We can understand great poems without knowing all about the differe ent styles of poetry. Strictly speaking a single line of poetry is a verse, but wsually any number of lines. over two is called a verse.. Another name for a verse ig stanza. Short verses of only two lines or any pair of lines ending with the same rhyme are called coup- lets. . There are many divisions of lyric etry. A very popular form is the :’(?nnr:t which is the most beautiful style of all the shorter poems. A son- net is composed of fourteen lmes.—no more or less. Some of our fl'l"lest poetry is in the form of these httl_e fourteen-line poems.

This is probably due to the considerable amount of water which they contain, to the salts in solution, or to the crude fiber, or to all put together. Man seems to crave and require some acid in his diet and the citric, malic and other fruit acids are more wholesome. BULK IS NECESSARY PART OF NOURISHMENT Considerable bulk is an essential factor in the diet. The large intestine would not readily empty itself and serious complications would follow if the foods were of such a nature as to be almost completely absorbed. For this reason bulky foods, like fresh succulent vegetables and fruit, are important. The three easiest and best ways of ° another form of lyric poetry and was originally a funeral poem. The ode, the psalm and the hymn are other forms eof lyric poetry. Every country has a different kind- of poetry. That'is quite natural. Just as the people differ, so will their thoughts and feelings differ. The first thing we notice in reading English poetry is what is called the “feeling for nature.” This simply means that Inglish poets seemed to be in love with the natural objects and the rural Our English poets have given us many beautiful pictures of the beauties of nature. This is what great poetry ought to be —the voice of nature. Big books might be made up of the poems of childhood. The whole glory canning are: cooking the fruit in the jars in an oven; cooking the fruit in the jars in boiling water and stewing the fruit before it is put in the jars. It is important that the jars, covers, and rubber rings be in perfect condi- tion. - Examine each jar and cover to see ‘that there is no defect in them. Use only fresh rubber rings for if the rub- ber is not soft and elastic, the sealing will not be perfect. The next thing to do is to sterilize them. Every housewife may run a minia- ture canning factory in her own kitchen—even to meats if she knows - how. The great secret of canning or preserving lies in complete steriliza- tion. The glass jar is the most satis- factory. Many housekeepers prefer certain kinds of glass jars, but the For the Boys and Girls—Poetry of the world is with the young because they have simple hearts. This ex- plains why so much of oyr poetry is suitable for boys and girls, and also why so much good poetry has been written by our lesser poets, especially for children. Poetry expresses all the delights of nature better than any other means we have for expressing them. We can make the many beautiful nature poems part of ourselves by just memorizing them, and no one can take that joy away from us. It is our own. Poetry is not only the music of words, but it is also the music of the universe. There is no better educa- tion than to share with the greatest minds their feelings, their hopes, sor- rows and joys we find in good poetry. Vacation Days— Games and Sports School is. out, and vacation is here. But vacation for the boys and girls of the farms, even the smaller ones, usu- - ally means work. There is no place in the world with so many opportunities for every member of the family to work as on the farms, and each day is full. But the old saying that all “all work and no play makes Jack a. dull boy” ought not to be forgotten. Even the farm work leaves time for some fun, and active games, especially if they have sociability in them, give a chance for the neighbor boys and girls to have a romp in the evening or on rainy days. If these games are new they are worth trying. There is no place like the rural schools for the in- vention of “games,” and many of the pastimes that the ‘‘country” boys and girls invented generations ago, have come down to the city boys and girls of today. Here are the rules for two or three games to go along with such of the well known ones as “Pom-pom pull away,” “Stealing Sticks,” “Drop the Handkerchief,” etc. Chickadee-dee: A good game with from five to ten players in a dark room or barn loft on a rainy day. First prepare a rather large soft bag nearly filled with dry leaves or some thing similar. Gather up the end and tie with a string so as to leave quite hilt or handle for a firm grasp. All light is shut out of the place, so your hearing will be the only guide in the game. . ; * One player who is “It” is seated on the floor in the center of the place and holds the sack. The object of the game for this player is to tag or touch any of the other players with the sack without leaving his sitting position on the floor. The object of the other players who are scattered about, is to get as ‘near as possible to the center player and call “Chickadee-dee.” The game starts in perfect silence and darkness. A player steals up to the center man, calls “Chickadee-dee” and darts back again, the center man whirling his bag and trying to hit this player. Any tactics may be used for dodging, such as dropping to the floor or jumping. Any player hit with the bag exchanges places with the one i the center. > The farmer is coming: A game suitable for ten to thirty or more play- ers. One player, chosen to be the is seated. The remaining _NINE players standing at a distance, select a leader who taps some of them on the shoulder to go with him to the farm- er's orchard for apples. Thereupon they leave their home ground, set off from the rest of the ground by a line, ’ and approach as near to the farmer as they dare. The game is more interest- ing if they can do this from various sides, practically surrounding him. Suddenly the farmer clasps his hands and all the players must stand still, while the leader calls out, “The farmer is coming!” The players try to get safely back to their home ground, the farmer chasing them. In and out of the window: This is one of the many circle games. A cir- cle is formed, joining hands with the exception of two who take their places one inside and the other outside the circle. The one outside the circle must catch the other, but he must follow the exact course of the one chased. ones with a rubber ring and glass top which is held in place by a wire spring, seem to be most popular. The jars having wide mouths are preferable. Many use a clothes boiler with a false bottom of wire netting cut to fit the boiler for sterilizing vegetables. The first step in successful canning is the selection and preparation. of the vegetables. Never attempt to can any vegetable that has matured and com- menced to harden or one that has be- gun to decay. Vegetables are better if gathered in the morning while the dew is on them. Do your canning in a well-swept and well-dusted room. This will tend to reduce the number of germs floating about and lessen the chances of inocu=- lation. ‘ (Concluded next week.) FILET SCALLOPS FOR YOKE One of the numerous patterns in popular mile-a-minute round yokes. This is so simple it does not need the directions. The only thing to be care- ful about is the extra stitch on the lower edge of the shell. This is shown well in the illustration. The beading and edging are made after the yoke is join- ed together.

Please sit down and write us some of the things you have actually done in canning, pre- serving, pickling and kindred subjects. The one chased will go in and out under the arms of the players forming the circle, which suggests the name of the game. ‘When caught two more are selected and so on.
