Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Banks, in whose lectures at the Fortnightly Meetings, 

 on Fruit and Vegetable Bottling, Fellows have shown great interest, have now 

 prepared a book on the subject, and the Council have published it. It contains 

 the most up-to-date practical information on the subject. It deals not only 

 with the Bottling of both Fruits and Vegetables, but also with the making of 

 Jam, and the pulping of Fruit to be made into Jam later on, when sugar supplies 

 are more abundant. There are also many useful household recipes, and all the 

 information given is the result of the actual experience of the authors extending 

 over many years. The 191 8 revised edition, which may be obtained from the 

 R.H.S. , Vincent Square, London, S.W. 1, is 15. 6d. over the counter, or post 

 free is. Sd. ; bound in stiff paper covers. 



21. R.H.S. WAR RELIEF FUND. 



The work of the Society having greatly increased since the outbreak of the 

 War and the staff having greatly diminished, the Council found that the manage- 

 ment of this Fund imposed a demand upon the staff which it was impossible to 

 meet. A special Administrative Committee for the War Relief Fund was, 

 therefore, appointed. The Committee is composed of Members of the Council, 

 and of the Ladies' Executive Committee which has done such admirable work 

 in collecting money for the Fund. The Office of the Fund is at 17 Victoria 

 Street, Westminster, S.W. 1, where all communications and donations should be 

 addressed.
