Village Jam The Women's Institutes, which are doing yeoman's work
for production and preservation, feel that they are not quite fairly ira by the Government. They make jams and bottle fruit ; but the "$w non vobis" principle is roughly applied. They are not allowed to k any of the preserved foods, though they have to spend more than can afford on apparatus ; and in many places the military have lea tioned their halls. The Institutes consist chiefly of cottagers, who admirable pride support their own institutions, and are therefore poorly equipped with spare funds. As things are there is likely to a slump in the local making of jam and bottling of fruit in the Instill,' They are such a godsend to the social vigour of village life that all possi encouragement should be given them, especially in their efforts to " the brute."
