Use You Can Enjoy Cantaloupes, Honey dew Melons This Winter Cantaloupe can be frozen to add interest and variety as well as vita- mins C and A to your year-roun- d menus, says Miss Jean Chase, University of Illinois college of agriculture. In preparation for freezing, choose firm ripe fruit. Remove rind and seeds and cut into cubes, balls or wedges. Fill cartons and cover with 40 per cent syrup which is made by heating to boiling point one and cups water to one cup of sugar. Cool syrup before adding to fruit Seal cartons and freeze as soon as possible. Two melons will fill about three pint boxes. Although honeydew melon Is a rather delicate fruit it also can be frozen for use later on. Make sure you select firm ripe fruit. Remove rind and seeds and cut into small wedges. Fill containers and cover with cold 40 per cent syrup, leaving a small space for expansion. One melon will make about two pint boxes. Frozen cantaloupe and melon should be carefully thawed before one-four- th using. Leave the fruit in the original unopened container while thawing to prevent discoloration and loss of vitamins by oxidation. The most desirable product is procured by thawing the fruit slowly in the refrigerator. To thaw a pound package will take from 6 to 16 hours in the refrigerator, depending on the temperature. If left in the refrigerator overnight, fruit will soften slowly and still remain cold. At room temperature fruit will thaw in two to four hours, but the outer portion will become warm while the center is cold or even frozen. Fruits frozen in water-tigh- t packages may be thawed rapidly by immersing the carton in cool water for about 45 minutes. If the fruit is to be used as a dessert, it is advisable to serve it just before it is completely thawed. Fun in South Seas The quartermaster corps is not getting the necessary amount of turkeys for the holiday dinners of the armed forces and it is asking producers to send their birds to market as soon as they have the necessary finish. rather than hold for the Thanksgiving season. The total number of turkeys In the United States is relatively large this year and unless they are shipped into the markets throughout the season, in a steady stream, prices may break suddenly. Facilities for dressing and storing the turkeys may not be able to take care of the situation if the large crop of turkeys is held too long and suddenly rushed to the market. The price ceiling for turkeys, live weight went down a half cent a pound on October 1, and will drop an additional half cent on November 1. t job.

He hated the Idea of a child, he didn't want it; there must be something I could do to get rid of It I wasnt awfully smart to have gotten myself Into this fix. It meant the end of our dancing and fun in short, he said everything that could make me mad and break my heart. "The letter stunned me, but I wrote briefly and coldly that nothing on earth would persuade me to destroy my hopes of motherhood and that the first minute he got home he could get a divorce if he wanted one. Then there was a long silence, but last Christmas he sent me a shawl, and a tiny red embroidered cap, but no message to Margaret "I pulled myself together, had my baby in a ward, joined a woman friend whose husband also is overseas. Her mother keeps house for us, minds my baby mornings. I am on a night shift and can take Margaret out in the afternoons and put her to bed. We all adore her, everything works smoothly, and I never have been so happy in my life. "Now comes a letter from Bob. He has lost all but the thumb from bis left hand, and is discharged. He is coming home. His letter says, I want you to look out for a little place for us the kid, too, I suppose. Maybe I can get my job back, but it looks as if Id be doing dishes for awhile. and washing Somehow I never looked forward to my wifes supporting me, but its only for a while. "His letter sounds so discouraged and bitter that I simply dread meeting him again. More than that the thought of his maimed hand sickens me; I have always had a perfect horror of physical disfigurement. If I break up this present arrangement what other can I make? Ive read your letters to service wives and mothers, asking them to make provision for the boys homecoming, but I have my child to think of, too; what Is best for her? Her Daddy didnt want her and doesnt know her. We have not an inch to spare, even if it would be pleasant to have a man in the house. We have one bedroom; Emilys mother sleeps on the livingroom couch, and Margarets crib is moved every night into the kitchen. This arrangement suits us perfectly, but a mans presence is unthinkable.

Answer It is very rude of your friend to permit her dog to scare you. Many people who are fond of pets dont realize that other people dont share their enthusiasm, but they should restrain a dog or a cat that jumps on visitors, or barks at them. If a dog is not well mannered. It is my opinion that he should be kept away from callers. Some dogs are B menace to clothes when they jump on strangers and they very definitely frighten many people.

Although seemingly changed as a result of their experiences, in reality they are inwardly quite the same, their attitude being a reflection of the hard grating of the shock of war against their ordinary dispositions. To be able to restore their sense of tolerance, to bring back their balance of judgment, is a task that will lead to a renewal of the old, happy life, the kind of life that makes this a perfectly natural world. This task is a negligible one compared to the sacrifices made by those gallant loved ones of ours all over the world. He was just one of the crowd; when he was drafted he asked me to marry him and quite naturally I did. Four months later he was gone out of my life again, and that was 18 months ago. Bobs job before the war was with a farm machinery company; he was a good salesman, popular, good looking, amusing. But he seems to have changed completely. Please give real thought to my happiness my rights in this matter before you answer me. Of course I want you to say, Have a long talk, agree to a divorce; go your separate ways. But I will be influenced by what you advise whatever it Is. ' Sees Happy Outcome. It seems to me, Betty, that there Is material for a happy outcome here, without the inescapable unYou pleasantness of a divorce. mustnt be too deeply influenced by what Bob wrote you when he knew the baby was coming. Perhaps he was lonely, homesick, mosquito-bitten- , weary, longing for the old serene happiness of his girl and his little Florida bungalow. Perhaps he was worrying about money; wondering how long it would be before he could get the right job after the war, take the right care of you. Perhaps it stunned him to think of you facing so great a responsibility and he wrote hastily, not phrasing his letter tactfully, not waiting to think things over. The thought of that little red cap somehow touches me. That may have been a peace offering to his little girl. Since you have no room for him, have you some motherly woman friend who could take you, all three, into her hom for a week or two? Or perhaps Emily and her mother would move out, and give you and Bob a chance to make each others acquaintance again. You owe him a real welcome; affection and reassurance and a week of home life may work a miracle in him; if once he was "popular, amusing, he can be so again. Try to reestablish that happy little Florida home. good-lookin- Brain Food Since sugar is a "brain food; a sugar meal taken In the form of candy during the day will help maintain cerebral efficiency. This was the statement made before the recent meeting of the American society of zoologists by Dr. T. Cunliffe Barnes, Philadelphia scientist. Studies of brain waves shows that the amount of sugar in the blood, he said, controls the frequency and amplitude of the electric potential demonstrated to exist in the brain. |
