HOME CANNING OUTFITS.
Five Devices for the Sterilization of Food
Products Used in Departments Club Work

Five Devices for the Sterilization of Food
Products Used in Departments Club Work.
Outfits for the sterilization of food
products during the canning season are
divided by specialists in charge of club
work in the department into five general
types. They are as follows:
l. Homemade outfits, such as wash
boilers. tin pals, milk cans, washtubs,
and lard pals. These are made especially
convenient and efficient when provided
with false bottoms, with lifting handles
and tight-fitting covers.
z. Hot water bath commercial outfits,
These are constructed usually for out-of-
door work, and have sterilizing vat,
lifting trays, fire box, and smoke pipe,
all combined in. one piece. They are
light and convenient, and are planned as
portable outfits. They contemplate that
the sterilization of the products will be
done in completely sealed tin cans or
partially sealed glass jars immersed in
boiling water. The only advantage of
these outfits over the homemade device
Is that they are made for convenience,
and have all the necessary equipment
for operation. Both the homemade and
hotwater commercial Gamers are classed
as not-WaCer pain 0utQtS.
8. Water-seal outfits. These belong
to type Of canning outfit having an in
ner seal and jacket, and a cover that
passes into the seal and between the
outer and inner jackets, thus making
three tin or galvanized surfaces, and two
water columns between the ster1lizing
vat and the outer surface of the Gamer
The chief value of this type of Gamer is
IN the fact that you can maintain higher
temperature than with the hot-water
bath outfits. This is especially valuable
In the canning of vegetables or meats,
where the higher temperature means so
much in the saving of time, fuel, and
energy IN etfecting complete steriliza-
ton of the food products.
A. Steam pressure outfits. Gamers
OF this type are made to carry from to
81 pounds of steam pressure and are
equipped with steam tight sterillzer,
lifting crate, thermometer or pressure
gauge, safety valve, and steam petcook
The pressure Gamer may be easily re-
guiated so as to maintain different tenn
peratures and thus adapt them to various
vegetables and food products.
5. Aluminium pressure cooker. This
is combination outfit which i, used for
both general cooking purposes and the
canning of fruits, vegetables, and meats.
Because of its general utility in the home
it can be made of great labor-savlng
value to the housewife for the cooking
OF all kinds of meats, vegetable dinners,
soups, GRAVES, and stews. 1t is con-
sldered the quickest canning outfit on
the market. This is due to the fact that
it is made entirely of aluminium and
transmits heat very quickly, and will
carry as high as 80 pounds of steam pres
sure. Its general makeup and necessary
parts are practically the same as in other
steam pressure outfits made of steel,
iron, or heavy tin. u. S. Dept. of

THANKSGIVING MEMORIES.

They were talking of the coming
Thanksgiving and how much more the
dinner this year will cost than it did 80 or
40 years ago, says the Saunterer in the
Portland Telegram, when gray haired,
fresh faced, vigorous looking man said
the word. The first Thanksgiving [
recall, said he, 81 passed at my uncle's,
a weIl-to-do farmer in Oxford County.
was then about four years old. At day
light father harnessed the old black mare
into the two-seated pung, and off we
went, father, mother, my two sisters
and myself. The sleighing was fine and
the ten miles to my unc e's was soor
covered, and there a warm welcome
awaited US. The great fireplace in the
big sitting room was to me novel sight.
Hanging on a hook on one side of the
fireplace was a huge turkey and on the
opposite side was an equally large goose,
while about halfway between was sus-
pended an enormous sparerib. A sheet
iron pan was placed under each OF these
roasting edlbles to catch the drippings.
| remember how delighted | was to be
allowed to give the turkey and goose a
turn around their pivots. In the great
brick oven in the kitchen they were
baking bread, pies and puddin; 8 and on
the stove were cooking big mealy pota-
toes, other vegetables and cranberry
sauce. Ye gods, what dinner was that
we sat down to! Around the long table
were about 25 people from my age to
past 80. l know l sat in high chair
between my mother and my uncle and
was permitted to eat of everything |
wanted, even the mince pie, which was
usually forbidden me IN my own home.
Better to my young taste was the cider
apple sauce than the cranberry sauce,
while | preferred the sparerib TO all the
turkey and goose in the world. And the
same is true to this day. After dinner a
social time was held, interspersed with
music, followed by an early supper and
then came games and dancing. But

DARK ACES OF MEDICINE

Many cathartics are noxious doses, of.
fensive to taste and smell
Some people think that they are not
taking medicine unless it has bad taste.
Otherwise nobody would think of taking
croton oil or castor oil or salts to move
the bowels. They belong to the past.
Harsh cathartics, except in extreme EN-.
ergencies, never were advisable.
1t is now possible to take laxative
that will give nature little gentle assis-
lance and to increase the dose when more
action is desired Pinklets the tiny pink
laxative pills, make this possible and they
never grippe.
Your druggist sells Pinklets. A free
sample and a useful book on the treat
ment of constipation will be sent free on
request by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
