prematurely ages the face by the early

''The foods which are best adapted

CAN NOW FOR WINTER USE
Time Spent in Preparing Vegetable.
Will Be Found Well Worth While
When Cold Weather Comes.

Whole tomatoes, green peppers ana
spinach every day next winter! Doesn't
the thought suggest pleasant depar-
ture from too much meat in thesdiet?
Every woman on the farm should
can surplus fruits and vegetablestdur-
ing the summer months for winter use,
according to Miss Addie D. Root of the
Missouri College of Agriculture. By so
doing, the cost of a valuable food will
be decreased and meals during the win
ter will be made more appetizing.
Fruits and vegetables give variety to
the diet and supply certain food mate
rails which are necessary to maintain
health. They do not leave us in need
Of spring tonic.
In the day of our grandmothers the
canning of vegetables was little under
stood and results were seldom success
full. We know today that foods spoil
from the action of small organisms
called bacteria, which float In the air
around us and we know how to kill
them. If these are killed in the process
Of canning and the Jars sealed air.
tight, food will keep indefinitely. Diff
ferent kinds of bacteria are found in
different kinds of foods. Some kinds
require higher temperature to- kill
them than others and for this reason
some fruits and vegetables must be
cooked longer than others during the
canning process. -
For the beginner the water-bath can
ner is recommended as the simplest
form. 1t can be arranged in any home
with but small expense. 1t consists of
a containing vessel with a rack and a
cover. A wash boiler may be used. A
rack may be made of thin boards or.
heavy wire. 1t should be raised three
fourths of an inch from the bottom Of
the boiler or enough SO that water can
circulate freely under the jars. This
prevents the jars from getting too hot
Water should be an inch over the tops
Of the Jars. y 4 e Y
Before placing the Jars in the boiler,
screw the top down as tightly Us pos
sible with thumb and little finger. II
screwed too tightly, expansion will
cause the Jars to break. The cans are
removed most easily by means Of a
can litter. M
Miss Root has recently issued cir
cular containing directions for canning
.all the common fruits and vegetables.
It can be, secured by writing to the Mis-
