HOW TO CAN.
Germs or Bacteria Must Be Destroyed
to Bring Success.

Germs or Bacteria Must Be Destroyed
to Bring Success.
The theory of sterilization or the
complete killing of germs and spores
must be understood by Gamers.
This last point is where many
housekeeper needs more education.
Sometimes she may wonder why the
tomatoes didn't keep" or why she
didn't have any luck with corn. She
must know that both vegetables and
fruits are subject to attack from germs
or microscopic plants like mold. These
germs or bacteria must be killed en-
tirely in order that the food does not
become affected by their continued
growth. Such bacteria can flourish
only when they have air and certain
conditions of moisture and heat. High
temperature kills these bacteria. This
high temperature and exclusion from
air are the two facts which need to be
watched in all canning.
Such a temperature is from $50 to
212 degrees f. Unless the food is SUBJ
jected to this temperature for longer
or shorter period, depending on the
kind of food, there can be no certainty
that the bacteria are killed.
In various sections OF the country
1t is the practice to use preserving
powders sold with the purpose Of max
ing canning successful" These pow
ders are unnecessary and, worse still.
dangerous. as many cases Of poisoning
have resulted where they have been
used. If the idea Of sterilization is un-
derstood and carefully followed there
will be no need for preservatives.
Heat is the best preventative.
One of the most common ways Of
canning is to fill the jars and place on
wooden strips in the bottom of wash
boiler. The objection to this method
is the mussiness and general uncIean-
illness. The wash boiler can be replaced
by steam cooker. which gives the
same results with far less effort and
watching, which holds from eight to
twenty-four jars. They are made with
a copper bottom to hold the water and
a rack on which to set the jars. The
jars are filled as usual with the fruit
or vegetables and cold water. the cap
is adjusted firmly and the jar is then
set on the rack in the cooker The
lower compartment is kept full Of
boiling water. and without any fur
Their effort or attention the jars can
be sterilized in the cooker for as long
as is necessary. There is no unpleas-
ant lifting of water or boiler. but a
convenient. clean and simple handling.

soup, for example, should always be
bought in sufficient quantities to en-.
able the housewife to have a reserve
over and above the weekly supply. II
bars Of yellow soap are purchased and
cut into pieces with string they should
be put away in box the lid of which
is kept partly open. If this is done
tho air reaches the newly cut surface
and hardens 1t, and the life of each
square is consequently doubled.
Housemaids always should be in
structed to use what is sometimes de-
scribed as the "housemaid's FRIEND" a
snail perforated tin tray which clips
on to the bucket and supports and
drains the soap during the process of
scrubbing. Mistresses who allow their
maids to keep the soap at the bottom
of the bucket while scrubbing must
net be surprised IL their bills for
this necessary commodity are unduly
heavy.
Here Is a suggestion concerning
kitchen cloths. There are many wom-
en- who buy common kitchen cloths,
let the servants wash them and do not
trouble to have them mended, the re-
suit being that the rough household
work is accomplished by the aid Of a
collection Of rags. 1t is far better and
more economical in the long run to
buy unbleached coarse linen at q few
cents yard, cut out yard length cloths
and send them to the laundry, where
they will be properly washed at the
cost Of cent or so each.
II the mistress will take the trouble
to look over these cloths herself on
their return from the wash and if the
maid who uses them has to darn them
as we'll the cloths last for quite a long
time
If your white enamel furniture be-
comes soilcd Or discolored it may be
| quickly and satisfactorily cleaned and
| restored thus: Melt one tablespoonful
OF bicarbOnate Of soda in one quart Of
boiling water. When cool wash the
| furniture with the solution. using an
old flannel cloth for the purpose.
When reed or cane seats sag wash
them ON both sides with warm soap
suds. Make the under side quite wet.
Dry in the air and sun.
Burnt coffee will free the house from
cooking odors. A handful Of lavender
flowers in bowl with lemon or orange
peel and covered with boiling water
imparts a gentle fragrance to an en-
tire apartment.
To prevent white clothing or mate
rails from becoming yellow wrap each
piece carefully in blue paper or old
muslin well covered with household
laundry blue.

Total val. of county. S14,492,366
When it is remembered that
the real value of this property is
about four times the assessed
value, this would bring the total
real value of all the assessablc
property of the county up to
S57,969.464.O0.
Then. to find the real value of
the county in dollars, it must be
remembered that there are many
kinds of property which are not
assessed and are exempt from
taxation. In thisc lass are in
cluded all county property, such
as the court house, Jail and the
sheriff's residence, the county
poor farm, ETC.; all city property,
all church property and all school
property. 1t is safe estimate
that this property in the county,
if a valuation, were made, would
be found to be worth at least
S2,OOO.OOO.OO. which would bring
the total value Of all real and
personal property in the county
up to S6O,OOO,OOO.O0.
Richland county has no Million
Dollar Sky Scrapers, no Million
Dollar buildings Of any sort, but
she has a lot of mighty valuable
farms and multitude of good,
substantial buildings, both resi-
dences and business blocks. and
when one stops to think of all
these, spread thickly over the
county, then the grand total Of
s6O,OOO,0OO.OO does not seem
quite so large.
We believe that this estimate
even, is too low by several mil
lion dollars.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Straight garden or orchard
rows give a better appearance and
are easier to cultivate.
These long evenings are good
times to plan next years garden
and to study better methods.
Hoe all grass and weeds away
from the trunks of trees. This
will destroy a winter home for
mice.
Prune grape vines as soon as
the leaves drop. They should be
laid down before the ground free
yes solid.
Some very fine specimens of
aconite have been grown in some
of the gardens about Lake Min
netonka this year.
Bittersweet makes a fairly good
hedge when carefully trained over
a fence or wall. It's orange-color-
ed fruit adds greatly to its at

How to Break a Child Of the Sulks by
REASONING,

Nearly always sulky children are the
smartest. have the keenest minds. the
best mental habits. The child who
has fit Of real anger at a disappoint-
ment loses self control and ought to be
very kindly treated, shown the reason
why it cannot have its wish, taught
lovingly the lesson of self control. It's
anger is a sign of weakness. but it's
sulks are an acquired accomplishment.
The fit is we'll reasoned out in this
way:
The child thinks that the mother is
loving in nature. does not like to see
1t unhappy. is miserable herself and
though there may be good reasons why
she refuse what it wants. yet if it per-
sists in its ugliness, then the mother
will sacrifice her judgment to the
child's obstinacy and give it what it
wants, even to its own hurt

When Baby Has the Croup

When a mother is awakened from
sound sleep to find her child who
has gone to bed apparently in the
best of health struggling for breath,
she is naturally alarmed. Yet if she
can keep her presence of mind and
give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
every ten minutes until vomiting is
produced. quick relief will follow and
the child will drop to sleep to awaken
in the morning as-well as ever. This
remedy has been in use for many
years with uniform success. Obtain
able everywhere.

MANY USES FOR SARDINES
Suggestions for Dishes That Will Be
Appreciated by Those Fond of
the Delicacy.

Combined with tomatoes, sardines
make delicious sandwiches. Pound a.
dozen of them to paste with little
butter, squeeze some lemon juice over
them and season with cayenne pepper.
Butter thin slices of bread and cover
Eith the mixture. On this place some
thin slices of tomato, add pepper and
salt, and cover with slice of bread.
A pimento-sardine salad is both I'M
usual and toothsome. Remove the
bones from the sardines, chop and mix
with an equal quantity each of chop
ped pimentos and celery and one-third
the quantity each of olives and nut
meats. Chill and serve in border of
jellied tomato with a rich mayonnaise
dressing.
Stuffed sardines are tasty for infor-
NAL lunches and suppers, and are cas-
lily prepared. Select the homeless va
riety which are put up in oil, open and
fill with Parmesan cheese, press to-
gether and serve with sliced lemon.
Grilled sardines are good. Wash a
can OF large sardines and heat in Ia
blespoonful of butter. Pour over them
q white sauce seasoned with a table
sauce, lemon and parsley. Serve on
toast.
