NOTICES TO FELLOWS.

23. BOOK ON FRUIT AND VEGETABLE 
BOTTLING. 
Fellows of the Society have shown exceptional interest in the 
long series of lectures given during this year at the Society's Fort- 
nightly Meetings by Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Banks on Fruit and 
Vegetable Bottling. They have now, in response to many requests, 
prepared a book on the subject. The Council, recognizing the value 
of the information it contains, and the demand for instruction of this 
kind, have consented to publish it, and it is now ready. It will be 
found to contain the most up-to-date information on the subject 
and is most practical. 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 than they are just now. There are also many 
useful household recipes, and all the information given is the result 
of the actual experience of the authors extending over a long number 
of years. Mr. and Mrs. Banks' exhibits of Bottled Fruits at the 
Society's Meetings are well known to the Fellows for their excellence.

25. ADVERTISEMENTS. 
Fellows are reminded that the more they can place their orders with 
those who advertise in the Society's Publications the more likely others 
are to advertise also, and in this way the Society may be indirectly 
benefited.

The Daily Telegraph's Special Correspondent said on March 22, 
1917 :— 
"At each step the troops advancing in French territory yielded 
by the Germans find fresh evidence of the enemy's systematic devasta- 
tion. . . . The Germans have methodically ruined the entire country.
