Canning Corn On
And Oft The Cob

Washington, D. c., July 1S.-The fol-
lowing seasonable recipes for the
canning of corn have proven both
practical and economical for the
housewife. The receipts have been
worked out in the Departments can
ming kitchen and the products tested
for nearly two years.
These recipes have been used in
connection with the five different
types of canning devices and the corn
has been put up in all types of con-
tainers, such as glass top, screw ton,
suction top, and tin cans. The method
employed is the cold-pack method, the
same as is now being used in the
best commercial factories of the
world, instead of requiring the labor
ious and tedious method of fractional;
sterilization of an hour each day for
three consecutive days and the lifting
of the products in and out of the can
ming devices three times. The method
now employed contemplates but one
sterilization and turns out the product
in better shape, with better color, tex
ture and flavor than the fractional
sterilization method. By following
these receipts and method the family
can have corn, either on or off the
cob, throughout the year at a very
reasonable expense of time, energy
and money.

The situation on the Turco-Persian

The Turks. according to the organ

busy making preparations for war in

Batum and Erzerum. 1t is alleged
that Germany has been very active in
stirring up feeling between the Russia n s
and the Turks and Armenians. 1t was
represented that Russia. after taking
the whole of northern Persia. now

Asia Minor as emlssar:c~ for the Young
Turks and that they have succeeded in
convincing the fanatical people that
Russia intends TO take the Dardanelles
as well as Turkish Armenia.
