Quite a number of Tacoma women

Foods that ferment have In
them some form of plant or animal
life. Vegetables containing sugar,
such as corn, beets and peas, are
the most difficult to keep, while
acid vegetables are most easily
kept, providing sugar is not used.
To have perfect success, as in the
canning of fruits, can in small
Iamounts; do not make hard work
of it, and follow accurately direc-
lions given.
String Beans.
Select tender, fresh beans;
string and wash them. They may
be cut In lengthwise pieces, short
|crosswise pieces or left whole.
Have water boiling in a kettele
over the fire with salt, and boil
rapidly 20 minutes. Have ] ars
sterilizing. Drain the beans and
pack neatly into the jars and COW

cover on loosely and set in the
steam cooker or kettle OF boil
ing water and boil for one hour IL
in the kettle; three-quarters IL by
steam. Lift carefully, fasten on
the cover. but put back to cook
one-half the time required for the
first cooking.
Steam-C Cooked Vegetables
Vegetables cooked under pres
sure of steam are very much finer
in flavor and with much less loss
in nutriment. Something Is lost
in boiling. Most of the boiled veg
etable cooking is tasteless, I'M
slightly, soggy and indigestible; all
this is changed with steam cook
ing. Remember the art of cook
ing is very largely producing fla
vors which create a wholesome ap-
petite and please the taste, and of
SO preparing the different foods
that the right changes take place
in them. Too hot fire frequent
ly destroys results most desired.

One great trouble with American

Every woman inherits certain ways OF
doing homework from her mother as the
mother did from her grandmother. One
of these ideas from ancient times concerns
the washing of clothes. ''Boil EN-, Boil
'em good" is the old tradition. Until the
invention of Fels-Naptha soap that was the
only way to wash. Now, isn't it foolish
to keep on boiling clothes, and rubbing
them hard, when way to wash better in
cold or lukewarm water with no hard rub
bing has been found3
Clothes last longer with no boiling to
weaken their fibre. Every progressive
woman is glad to get rid Of the hot fire,
steam and suds, as well as the back-break-
ing work of hard rubbing.
But there's a right way and a wrong
way to use Fels-Naptha. Start right. Fol
low the directions on the wrapper and
you'll have better, easier, cleaner way OF
washing. For other reasons which are ex-
planned on the red and green wrapper.
Fels-Naptha is just as superior for all kitch-
en- purposes as it is for washing.
