S - B who At a service at Hereford Cathedral on Aug ust 3rd in commemoration of the men have fallen Mr. J. S. Arkwright's new hymn , " The Supreme Sacrifice , " which we reviewed recently , will be sung . It is interesting to note that the beautiful and appropriate tune is the composition of the Rev. Dr. Harris , of Colwall . It is stated that the hymn and tune are to be used on à similar occasion at West- minster Abbey . Mr. Arkwright has doubtedly written a hymn which should have a permanent value to all who have experi- enced the dark days of war and we hope that Leominster people will have the opportunity of hearing it in their own parish church at an early date . • un- W.

There are many people who for on or another have failed to secure a s sugar for jam . To them a recipe pulp will come as a boon .

In this case the are filled with dry fruit and placed in oven . " The jars must not stand direc the oven shelf ; use wood , cardboard , etc bottles must then be filled with fruit they are heaped up . The heat sho increased slightly and in about 20 min will be found that the fruit has sunk do the neck of the bottle and that there good deal of juice at the bottom Thi sigu that the jar is ready for sealing . cloth and a kettle of boiling water ( really ing ) should be handy . One of the jars s then be taken out of the oven and fill with boiling water and screwed down . Another simple way is , to use vacuu ordinary jars and any kind of pan . bottles of fruit should be filled with water and placed in cold water . The h then raised as slowly as possible to simm point and kept there for twenty minutes . water should not be allowed to boil . In passing Miss Evill showed that the of sealing bottled fruit are endless in variety . Warmed mutton fat may be p into the tops of the bottles on the comp of the sterilising process , whilst as a subs paraffin wax candles melted down . recomended as a substitute . There wa reason why fruit properly tied down bladder should not keep as well as in vacuum jars , but Miss Evill recomme that the tying down should be undertake two persons . Strong , grease - proof p treated with starch or flour - paste will for good cover but as starch is not available war flour will not keep Miss Evill asked hearers to try these methods after the Other ways suggested of using paper is painting with white of egg , dipping in milk , or oiling with olive oil . Salad oil be used on the top of the juice but in this the jars must be carefully stored away not moved until required . In any case bot fruit should be stored in a really dry , place . Miss Evil was not encouraging as to possibilities of vegetable bottling . In its p she recommended the drying of peas beans , and the salting of runner beans . method with the latter is to place a laye salt at the bottom of an earthenware pan . this the beans ( whole and unstrung ) sho be arranged in a neat layer . Another la of salt is added , then more beans and so until the crock is full . Before cooking beans require a good deal of soaking to move the brine . Miss Evill displayed a bottle of tomat which looked very tempting . The met slie described was very similar to that follow in the case of the red currants . The o differences are that a pinch of salt is ad to the water , and the temperature should kept higher . The thermometer sho register 150 degrees ( instead of 130 ) in an ho and half an hour later 180 degrees . 1 water should be kept at that heat for minutes and the bottles then secured . 1 result was said , and certainly appeared , to very satisfactory .
