Seasoning Canned Vegetables.

Seasoning Canned Vegetables.
Open the can at least an hour be-
fore using, allowing the air to reach
them. Do this with both fruits and
vegetables
If there is any one thing which will
spoil the flavor and tenderness of the
best canned vegetables it is draining
off all the liquor into the sink and
the vegetables into a saucepan with
milk and cooking hard and long un-
til all taste and goodness is dis
slpated. A double boiler is the only
utensil which should ever be used
for relocating vegetables If the
water or liquor in the can is not de-
sired at the time of heating the vege-
tables. drain and save for soup an

Thuringia, and especially the town
of Sonneberg, may be said to be the
real birthplace of the doll. Most of
the poorer families in and around
Sonneberg are engaged in the manu-
facture of dolls and from this, in
dustry it derived the principal reve-
nue. of the population. The work de-
mands great deal of skill and
practise.
The inhabitants begin early in
youth to learn the art of making
dolls BY constant practise they
eventually become able to work with
astonishing speed and accuracy. In
the doll industry only some special
part of the doll is made by each
person Some make the bodies,
others the heads, and still others the
arms or hands
The heads are first nodded and

Fruits and vegetables are searcer
for the average family during the
month of April than almost any
month in the year. It is then at this
time canned fruits and vegetables md
a welcome place on our tables.
Much has been written on Elk
posture of Canneries," where imper-
feet fruit and vegetables were canned
and these under the most insanitary
conditions: also with the help OF
nreservatives. 1t would be useless to
DENY that this has been done. This
is also true in the home. Many times
have had women come into our
cooking school and, seeing our Jars OF
canned fruits and jellies, ask what we
put into them to make them keep.
But even that, | believe. is quite a
thing Of the past
DR.. Wiley says: I'VE can with a
certainty buy a reliable canned prod
uct and feel sure that no chemical
conservatives have been added, no
artificial sweeteners such as saccha-
rim, no artificial color, either Yegeta-
BILE or coal tar dyes, and no artificial
bleacher such as sulphuric acid
our best and most reliable Gamer
les have careful supervision of the
fruits and vegetables and sanitary
methods of cleaning and handling the
same.
With this feeling of safety, IL rests
with the housekeeper to select as
good a quality-not necessarily
fancy brand-as she can afford to buy
and then see that none of it goes to
waste.

FARMER TO- CONSUMER
PLAN TO HIT FOOD COST

CHICAGO, April 11.-Vegetables at
cost direct from the farmer to the
consumer will be available in this
CITY after April %, according to a
plan by Texas farmers to demon-
strate the possibility of economy in
distribution of farm products. Thirty
Texas farmers have formed an as
ISOLATION to begin the attack on the
cost of living.
April 25 will see the beginning of a
shipment of 200 carloads of Bermuda
onions to this city, At distributing
stations they will be sold az cents
a pound in ten pound cartons. Ham
pers containing an assortment of
fresh vegetables enough to last a
family of five one week will be sold
for s1.2O. Each hamper will contain
cabbage, lettuce, radishes, onions,
spinach, caulifiower. carrots and tur-
nips. Such supply would cost from
$3.50 to $3.50 under ordinary sale.

When spring comes the stomach is
tired OF the heavy diet it has been
surfeited with all winter and 1t often
rebels against hot puddings, pastries
and an over-supply of starch foods.
That tired feeling, the blues" in
festival indigestion, biliousness auto
intoxication and often malaria and
tosillitis result from carrying over
into the spring months the heavy
food of winter.
Our mothers used to dose us with
sarsaparilla tea, sulphur and mo-
lasses. but we should know better
than give to others or take ourselves
that nauseous dose. for all these con-
ditions can be prevented If the cor
rect foods appear upon spring tables
at least by the middle of April.
The foods which the clever house
mother first can use on her table are
those we call greens" spinach, cow
slips and dandelions being particular
" curative for spring fever
Spinach has been called the broom
of the stomach, because it is so bulky
that it sweeps the alimentary tract,
scraping the walls and carrying away
all waste.
Dandelion is a splendid laxative and
liver tonic. II you are bilious don't
go to the doctor and take an ugly
dose of medicine. Go out into the
yard or park and dig q mess of dan
delion green" and eat them, but even

them every time they are oni the ta-

When it begins to boil draw the cover

Turn into colander, drain, then turn
cold water over it and allow to drain.
Mince coarse or fine as you wish.
Now put in a pan and set on top of
a kettle top or in a skillet of hot
water. No vegetable requires as
much butter as spinach. Where econ
omy is necessary sweet drippings
from roast beef or chicken may be
used in place of butter. One peck of
spinach makes a little less than one

DECL INE OF THE LARGE HAT

There is no doubt that large hats
nave completely gone out of fashion;
they are not even 10 be met with in
cidentally in the show-r-soms or the
shop windows. All the same there is
as much disinclination on the part
of the millinery authorities as last
month to negative the possibility
that they may return to favor for
midsummer. IT is quite evident that
they have no mind to shut the door
irrevocably against their revival later
on in the season, IL they should deem
such revival advisable.
Meanwhile it is quite extraordinary
how the fashion for small, or at least
smaller hats has spread. 1t is not a
matter merely interesting to those
who are wont to follow every fad, but
a universally accepted fact. There
was a case the other day of a hus-
ban who absolutely refused to escort

The arms, legs and hands are pro-

giving the necessary flesh color,
while the heads must have rosy
cheeks, red lips. and dark or light

the wigs involve a number of other
processes.

she had elected to put on a big hat.
1t is no new thing for men to back
up La Mode, but in this matter per-
haps there is double reason, as
they have been so long sufferers from
the encroachments of the broad
brims of their own womankind and
of others, too, that they hail the new
era as deliverance, says the Millin-
cry Trade Review.
All this may not weigh in the bal
ance when It comes to deciding
whether or not small hats shall main
tain their supremacy for the summer
However, for the present at least
we have only to concern ourselves
about what is being done and not
fash ourselves about what, so far as
millinery matters go, is yet but dim
uncertain future.

She Bushes Easily

Dear Miss Margery Doom:
Can you tell me how to stop binshing.
IL makes me feel badly When | see d
young man come into our place of busl-
ness to talk to me as soon as ! see him
my face gets very red. All the girls
stare at me So. Even if my boss talks
to me | blush just the same. If you
will kindly help me l will be much
obliged. EDNA u
Blushing in most cases is caused by
self-consciousness Try to stop
thinking about yourself. Remember
that the man to whom you are talk
ing is not giving you, personally,
thought, and would be surprised to
discover that you were thinking of
him. If you try to concentrate on
your work you will not think of
blushing, and when you have stopped
being conscious of the habit you will
have gone a considerable way toward
overcoming it.
