Here are few vegetables that may

young and tender beans, string them,
and break them into short lengths.

cold water, and add a teaspoonful OF
salt to each quart. Put on the rub

on each of three successive days as
directed A small pod of red pepper
placed in the bottom OF the jar will
give this vegetable a delightful flavor.
Corn-This vegetable should be
canned soon after it is pulled from
the stock. Select the ears with full
grains before they have begun to
harden, as this is the period of great
est sugar content. Husk them and
brush the silks of with a stiff brush
Shear on the grains with a sharp

HOUSEWIVES OF KANSAS
ADVISED As TO CANNING
Agricultural College Experts Declare

So That They VII

The housewife who declares there
isn't thing to can this year is q
pessimist- That there are no peaches
this year is a hard blow, TO be sure.
Too bad, also, that the apple crop viii
be small. But, Mrs. Housewife, this
is no time to stand under the peach
less peach tree and weep. Cheer up
and look ar the vegetables wasting
in your backyard. How good they
would taste next winter. And if you
still have the notion that canned
vegetables are hard to keep, get rid
of il. That's a mistake It's just as
easy to keep corn, or string beans, as
it is to keep tomatoes if you know
how, the experts say.
The secret of canning is to prevent
the little bacteria from entering the
fruit jar with the fruit or vegetables.

Mr.. Grimm masked his emotions. In
his admiration of this quality he quite
overlooked the remarkable mask Of
benevolence behind which he himself
hid.

marked, after a time. What does it

It is not too much to construe It into
the first step toward a World-war-a
war of reprisal and conquest beside
which the other great wars of the
world would seem trivial. For the
fact has at last come home to the ma
lions Of the world that ultimately the
Engiish-speaking peoples will domi-
nate it-dominate 1t because they are
the practical peoples. They have given
to the world all its great practical in

indicate that already that day has
