FRUIT BOTTLING . B. W. T. A. THE KINGTON TIMES . AUGUST 4 , 1917 . HEREFORDSHIRE BRANCHES RALLY AT LEOMINSTER . DEMONSTRATION AT LEOMINSTER . There was a large andance of ladies at the Church Institute on Saturday afternoon , to hear a lecture on Fruit Bottling by Miss Evill , an expert appointed by the Board of Agriculture , who also gave demonstrations of arranged to hold the gathering at the The demonstration had been promoted by Councillor John Watkins , Chairman of the Food Production Committee , and the arrangements had been made by Miss Watkins . The success of , the event calls for hearty congratulations to Councillor Watkins ard Miss Watkins . The lecturer herself spoke various processes . A rally of the Herefordshire Branches of the British Women's Temperance Association was held at Leominster on Thursday . It had been Chalet at the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Neild . Unfortunately the weather was un- favourable and this fact also affected the attendance . The meeting was therefore held in the Hall , Etnam Street , when the Leomin- ster , Hereford , Weobley , Kington , Pembridge , Noke Lane Head and Kingsland centres were sided and was supported by Mrs. Edgar Bowen ( Hereford ) , Mrs. Neild , Miss Easton , Miss Hammond , Miss Newman , Mrs. Harley Nott , Mrs. Hubert Reynolds , Miss Shrimpton ( Worcester ) , Mrs. Hammond , Mrs. E. Ross , Miss Ross , the Misses Colwell , Mrs. W. Bounds , Mrs. E. Cole , Mrs. T. Russell and Miss Rus- sell ( Pembridge ) , and others .

Fruit - pulp is practically sugarless jam , " and the advan- tage lies in the fact that it will keep until a pound of sugar is available when two pounds of the pulp may be boiled up with the sugar and turned into jam . The method adopted is to put the dry fruit into a preserving pan and boil it until it will set like jam . As there is no sugar to preserve the fruit extra care must be taken to purify the jars . Even a jar which has been well washed may harbour some organism which will in a few weeks turn the pulp mouldy . The method of sterilising the jars illustrated by Miss Evill was by the use of sulphur . A little flowers of sulphur is placed in a small vessel - Miss Evill utilised the lid of a small tin - and is ignited . A jar is then inverted over the burning sulphur and as soon as the inside of the glass is clouded by the fumes the jar is stood downwards on one side and another subjected to the same pro- cess .

An inquest was held at Coventry , on Mon- day , on the body of a man who was admitted to the casual ward of the workhouse and died in bed .

Below these names was written the line , " May God pre them preserve from all harm . " Nothing further was known of the man's career except that he told a fellow tramp , with whom he travelled from Hinckley to Nuneaton and Coventry , that he had three sons in the army and was a watchmaker by trade .

He wrote to this effect to Mr. should refrain from buying laces , and veils and gloves and yet the Government tempted men daily to spend money in drink at the rate of 180 millions per year . They had had three strong Governments since the war began , but drink had been stronger than all three . Although they were personally inter- ested in the food problem and the financial problem their greatest personal interest was the living interest which they had in their men , the husbands , brothers , and sons who had gone to fight . Why should the State hav- ing summoned these men to its aid seek to ruin their life and very soul ? Mere boys of 18 were now called to serve and it was for the sake of these lads that they should do all in their power to free them from this terrible temptation . In civil life these boys were pro : tected by home influence and by restricted hours , but as soon as they left all for their own country , a grateful country gave them of its worst . Mrs. Bowen went on to quote a letter from the women of Ontario to Mr. Lloyd George protesting against the way in which Canadian soldiers who left their homes for liberty and for the Motherland were al- lowed to be struck down by drink , disease and death in England . Ignoring all expert advice the Government were sending large consign- ments of rum to France to help the troops to fight , at the same time sowing the seeds of intemperance among our men .
