The The Cost of the Liberty Loan Eliminating the cost of paper] i a nd the engraving and printing of | 1 the bonds, the expense to the Gov-j j ernment of floating the three Lib-j i er ty Loans, aggregating nearly ten biliion dollars, was less than two ; million dollars, or approximately] one fiftieth of one per rent, expenditure for publicity was only j $ 1 76,157, or less than one five hundredth of one per cent., and ap propriation that would not be suffi c ient to finance a nation-wide ad j vertising campaign for cigarettes, ! pinkpills, or other cureall. This is not equivalent to saying that the Liberty bonds sold them se lves. They didn't and it is no unworthy confession to admit that *he success of these extraordinary loans, popularly subscribed by a nation that was not accustomed to suc h requests from its Govern ment, and that in the course of , , , „ fifty vears had come to regard a • ■ Government bond as a mattei chiefly concerning banks and bank erSt required the most extraordin ar y aad comprehensive advertising campaign that ever had been at h 6 tempted.

PULPING" FRUIT'S U Methods of Filling Pantry Without Using Sugar. Every housekeeper is anxious to build up safe reserves of fruit and vegetables for winter, and a good pro vider takes Justifiable pride in well filled shelves. To such women the twenty-five pound allotment of sugar, •• or even u more generous allowance 'X for canning, will riot provide n safe ■•■ margin unless there is a careful alio- " cation—so much sugar for cherries, j* and so much for peaches—and this I! program hacked up with generous ; supplies '•aimed without sugar. England lias adopted a method of J preserving fruit without sugar, known as "pulping." that is employed both . commercially and in the homes. This •• method is economical of Jars, as no X wafer is used in canning the fruit. The method, according to the bulletin the Royal Horticultural Society, is •• ns follows: Pack sterilized jars full of fruit, add no water, place rubbers *• and caps in position, and fill pan with water tip to the shoulders of the Dot tles. Place pan on fire and bring water to the simmering point and keep *r it nt ibis point half an hour. Remove + bottles and till them one front the T other, replace rubbers and caps, and -. put the iiotties back in file pan and ]** bring tliem up to the simmering point •< again for another five minutes. Take *' . them nut one at a time and screw down the tops. Tnvert to cool and test the joints. Wrap in paper to pre vent bleaching and store in a dry. i*' cool place. Rooking the fruit before bottling is !! a simple method of pulping, but the •• fruit will be darker than if the above !! method is followed. This method is *• as follows: TMace fruit over a gentle .. » .. U lient until enough moisture comes nut to prevent burning, then increase the heat until the fruit boils Roil an T hour, stirring all the time, and can, •• following usual methods of steril'z- " ing. In putting up apples n little •< water will have fo be added to the I*' fruit to prevent burning. Pulped fruit can be used for jam, stewed fruit, puddings and pies. The English housewife who has to he very careful of sugar makes up pulp into jam one jar at a time, allowing half ! ! a pint of sugar to a pint of fni't. This does not make so sweet a jam jX as the usual quantity of sugar, but as ! this English woman writes. 'It is quite ! good enough and in these days jams i of any kind is almost a luxury."
