Tomatoes in Winter Guise 
Tomatoes stand first in number of jars 
on my table of canned products, and there 
is always a good variety of relishes, cat¬ 
sups and sauces. Among these there, arc 
some “originals," and others that are un¬ 
usual, and some proved great favorites. 
Tomato pulp is economical of jars and 
very convenient for cream soups, spa¬ 
ghetti. and for a sauce with meat loaf. 
Wash one peck of ripe tomatoes and slice 
or chop coarsely, adding two or three pep¬ 
per chopped with I lie seeds, and two 
tablespoons of salt. 1 vary the seasoning 
by sometimes using a few onions, a hand¬ 
ful of fresh sweet herbs, a tablespoon of 
“poultry seasoning" or a very little curry 
powder. Simmer for an hour, stirring 
often ; then put it through a colander or 
vegetable press and cook it down until it 
is no longer watery. Can in hot, steril¬ 
ized jars. 
For chopping tomatoes, I know of noth¬ 
ing as convenient as that old-fashioned 
device, a small, sharp-edged tin can (I 
use a linking powder can), with a few 
holes punched in the bottom. This can 
be used in connection with a granite 
saucepan or a mixing bowl. Tomatoes are 
too wet and “messy" for the food chopper. 
Red Sauce.—Twelve ripe tomatoes, two 
large onions, one hot pepper, two mips of 
vinegar, 1)4 tablespoon of salt, six table¬ 
spoons of sugar; boil one hour, sift and 
boil until thick. This is a capital dress¬ 
ing for clam or oyster cocktails, or to 
serve with fish or cold meats. 
Spiced Chili Sauce.—Fifteen ripe to¬ 
matoes; scald, peel and chop with two 
ripe peppers and one large onion: add one 
tablespoon of salt, two tablespoons of 
sugar, one teaspoon each of ginger, 
cloves, allspice and cinnamon, one nut¬ 
meg. two mips of vinegar. Simmer 45 
minutes, and bottle or can while hot. 
This is our favorite with baked beans. 
Tomato Butter.—Niue pounds of ripe 
tomatoes, 3 lbs. of sugar, three cups of 
vinegar, three tablespoons of mixed 
spices. Scald and peel the tomatoes an’ 
slice thin; boil all until thick, stirring 
frequently. Brown sugar gives a dirim¬ 
ent and richer flavor. This is the chil¬ 
dren's favorite. 
Chutney with Mint.—One-fourth pound 
of ripe tomatoes, 1 lb. of tart apples, 
three large peppers. 10 small onions, one 
and one-third cups of raisins, one-half cup 
of mint leaves, all chopped fine. Add 
two cups of sugar, two teaspoons of dry 
mustard, two teaspoons of salt and three 
cups of vinegar which lias been scalded 
and cooled. Mix thoroughly and can 
cold. This sauce retains its delicious, 
fre-h flavor indefinitely. 
Cooked Clmtnoy.—Six large, ripe to¬ 
matoes, six tart apples, two cups of mixed 
dried fruits—figs, dates, raisins and cur¬ 
rants may he used—one onion, grated, 
one teaspoon of ground ginger, one-half 
teaspoon of cayenne, one tablespoon of 
salt, one-half cup of brown sugar, one 
pint of vinegar. Chop tin- fruit, add the 
other ingredients, and boil half an hour. 
When cold, bottle and seal. 
Tomato Relish.—Fifteen ripe tomatoes, 
six sour apples and five onions, all peeled 
and chopped line with three green pep¬ 
pers. Add two tablespoons of salt, one 
cup of vinegar and cayenne to taste; sim¬ 
mer gently 1% hours. Can while hot. 
This is excellent as a general relish.

Kg!! who is always on 
the look-out for the 
cheapest tires he can 
find. He likes to get them by mail 
or at a sale or at some place 
where they have big red bargain 
signs over the door. 
It would be fine if he could 
get “the edge” in every tire 
trade. 
But the dealer can’t afford to 
let him have it. 
A good tire. The dealer has 
no desire to trade you into a 
larger profit for himself. 
An out-in-the-open tire. The 
dealer sells you confidence, not / 
price. He wants you satisfied / 
with performance and value. / i 
The only way he knows to / 
get your business is to de¬ 
serve it. 
This is the “Usco” 
idea.

Even if a man saw any slight

“Usco” brought the price down. 
A standard product—and the

Fifty-three The Oldest and Largest Two hundred and 
Methods of Fly Control 
I would like to relate my experience in 
getting rid of house flies for the beuefit 
of Mrs. M. O. of Connecticut ami others. 
I have not used sticky fly paper or poison 
for three years, nor bought a swatter in 
two. though I still use one for the un¬ 
lucky fly that will occasionally find his 
way iu. 
To begin with, husband sprays the 
cows, keeps the mauure hauled away, and 
has lime sprinkled on stable floors, so 
they have no breeding places at the barns. 
We have the old-fashioned outdoor closet, 
and this demands extra care. T use lime 
and dry flttet Or dirt from the road. If 
iu spite of this it becomes in the least 
odoriferous, I use kerosene or a coal-tar 
disinfectant, as needed. 
I have a drain from my kitchen sink 
that is tiled only as far as the pasture 
lane, about two rods from tuy kitchen 
door, and it is this outlet that has to be 
watched most closely. I sprinkle lime 
twice a week and every other day pour a 
cupful of kerosene down the pipes, fol¬ 
lowed by a kettle of hot water. This also 
keeps down the mosquitoes. 
I use a sink strainer, so that no crumbs 
or particles of food arc carried out. and 
never throw crumbs or garbage of any 
kind in the yard. I have over ICO liens 
that are nut yarded, but am not bothered 
much with them, for there is nothing for 
them to pick up around the house. 
I have flowers every where. The choic¬ 
est kinds I have put lS-in. chicken wire 
around, but Cosmos, marigold. Zinnia, 
etc., never suffer from the depredations of 
my hens—Plymouth Rock. This really 
sounds too good to be true, but any house¬ 
wife can adopt my methods, and not in 
one year, may be. but in two or three, 
she will find hoi premises rid of the pes¬ 
tiferous fly. You must have for watch¬ 
word. “ Internal vigilance.” MBS. H..t.
