any idea of how to plan their bills Of
fare SO that their families receive the
right proportion Of nourishment? How
many understand how to balance
starches by proteids, what proper.

starches, what quantity of green
foods should be supplied and why,
the kind of food which should be Civ

and why they need different dietary

suits, why small children fail on the
food which makes grown persons
thrive, how to regulate the diet in

for a time long enough to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw, ma
terial to spoil
by the use of boiling water. and there
are three different ways In which this
can be done. While the parent bac-
terra can be killed at a temperature
of boiling water. their spores retain
their vitality for long time even at
that temperature
Smaller factories, and the different
homecoming outfits usually make
use of the "open-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling
water and kept at that temperature
for time sufficient to destroy bac-
terra and spores.
The third process, known as frac-
tional sterilization, is that OF keeping
cans or jars in boiling water for a
specified time upon each of two or
three consecutive days.
The process Of boiling upon con-
secutive days is the safest method.
and is much to be preferred In home
canning. The first days boiling kills
practically all the bacteria. but does
not kill all of the spores. .s
As soon as the jars or cans cool,
these spores develop, and a new lot

companies touching that section OF

roads to accept no more liquor for
shipment to Indian Territory or the

judicial circuit, rendered recently at
St. Louis, when it was held that fed
eral prohibition still is in force in the
eastern section OF the state, and Will
