Canning Summer Vegetables
I

FOR the canning of string beans
peas. egg plant squash. lima beans.
carrots and parsnipS no elaborate
preparations are necessary In fact.
they are among the vegetables that can
be most successfully canned at home
Tin cans should never be used, because
of the action of the vegetable acids on
the metal Glass jars are the best re-
ceptacles. and they should have glass
tops. metal tops being hard to clean
and difficult to sterilize. The most sat-
isfactory type OF jar is that having a
glass cover held in place by an ad-
Unstable wire spring. which fits in a
groove across the top OF the cover and
clamps down against the side of the
jar.
Steam Cooker.
Another requisite for the successful
canning OF vegetables is the steam
cooker. says the Modern Priscilla. II
the manufactured article is considered
too expensive an improvised cooker can
be made with a tin wash boiler having
tight cover and a piece OF coarse wire
netting. such as is used for poultry
yard fencing The wire netting is cut
a trifle smaller than the boiler and is
laid fat on the bottom
Canning Corn.
The very best corn should be used
for canning. and It should be used as
soon after picking as possible. Re-
| move the husks and silks and cut of
the grains Pack closely. not too tight
ly, into the jar until 1t is full. add hall
teaspoonful OF salt and then I'LL VI

GIVING NEEDED COLOR
EFFECTIVE ADoRNMENT FOR
THE SIMPLE sHIRTWAIsT.
Fabric That introduces tho Gown
Color 10 Far Smarter Than the
All Whlte-Pretty Brooches
and Bows.

The Illustration shows the fancy
version of the Peter Pan, the front
being cut in novel way and the
pocket left of. and this model would
be most effective in a striped silk
matching the suit color.
AS to shirtwaist colOrs, We will
not be able to- escape all white, and
fresh white waist certainly gives a
business woman neat and smart
look when employed with her duties:
but all white is far less smart than q
fabric introducing the gown color in
some manner. and as a standby one
bodice In q silk exactly matching the
suit would be invaluable. This comes
In very handy for rainy days and for
the moment when white waist would
seem a little too commonplace, for
with a change Of neck fixing the get.
up can be made far more dressy.
Among the smart wash shirtings
whose patterns match the col0rs Of
the new suit materials are madras
and cheviOt. the browns. blues and
plum tones of the pin stripes. checks
and dots and diamonds showing up
very handsomely against the white
background. Shirts in these fabrics
are always Numbered without starch
and very often the neck finish ia in
the form Of . soft stock with ends
made for four-in.hand tie. Stir linen
collars are likewise worn with soft.
Numbered shirts. and with silk and
flannel ones. but the woman who has
the beauty Of her throat in mind pre-
fers the more pliable stock Of the
shirt material or Of Irish lace. for al.
though lace neck fixing takes away
something Of the distinction OF tall.
