a tight cover is very satisfactory. Ii
the cover OF the boiler is not tight a
piece OF cloth should be placed be-
tween the cover and the boiler to
prevent loss OF steam. A special
false bottom may be purchased or
made at home, or one may be I'M
proviSed. A cake cooler or all open
wire refrigerator shelf may serve for
a false bottom. il the rack is set up
off the bottom. Individual wire
holders for the jars may be used A
commercial false bottom costs Is
cents and one dozen individual Jar
holders cost 81, They are more
easily handled.
Except with the individual Jar
holders, litter must be used to re-
move the jars as soon as they have
been processed An ordinary large
skinner with the handle at right an
giles is a good litter.
Containers - Either Mason or
spring top jars may be used pro-
vided they are perfect. New white
rubbers should always be used,
Tests for jars:
Mason Jars-Plaee the top on the
jar without the rubber, Turn it down
tight. If the thumb nail can be in
serted between the top and the glass,
the top is usually defective.
Glass Top Jars-Placc the glass
top on the jar without the rubber.
Tap around the outer edge of the top
with the finger, If the top rocks, it
is defective. Another test is to feel
the edge Of the glass top with the
finger. 1t should feel perfectly
smooth.
In the following table the time is
counted always from the beginning
OF boiling. The jars should be packed
tightly except for peas, beans and
corn, which swell somewhat in the
processing, When packing insert
knife between the side of the jar and
the material being packed, to allow
the escape of air bubbles. Do not
prepare more than two jars at one
time if you wish perfect product.
Begin to process as soon as the jars
are packed.
In the cold pack method the jars
and covers are sterilized as for any
other kind of canning. They should
be boiled for twenty minutes and the
rubbers dipped into boiling water just
before using. II the jars are old they
may be started in hot water; if new
they should be tempered, that is,
started in cold water

War Time Fashion Revivals.

While some OF our friends are long
ing to slip into the comfortable look
ing feminalls which mar k the lates
advance in garments for women
others are barking back to the days
OF our grandmothers for inspiration
in clothing. Perhaps your grand
mothers told you how, when they
were young, new calico dress was
considered better than silk and wa:
almost as expensive. Dressed Ill,
full skirt Of fancy printed calico, the
women of pioneer times attended all
sorts OF functions from weddings tc
funerals.
Gingham has become the desidera-
tum OF every well-dressed modern
woman and tales are told and vouched
for, too, by reliable people, OF glng-
ham dresses made in Omaha for the
triAing sum of SIS. Just on the heels
of the glorhed gingham comes the
revival OF old-fashioned organdie. All
sorts of organdie frocks are being
shown ready made or being con-
structed by our fashionable modistess,
As some one jocularly remarked,
These simple tub frocks OF l9l/,
which cannot be tubbed, cost all the
way from hundred up"
Hand embroidery and real lace
of marvellous value are combined with
the simple organdie to make these ex-
pensive frocks. Mrs. Charles Kountze
has a pretty white embroidered one,
Mrs. John L. Kennedy has one with
one with real lace on it and Mrs.
George Brandeis has been seen in
perfectly charming model.
Another ancient fashion revival,
really more ancient than ginghams or
organdies is the steel mirror. Was
it the Egyptian or the Roman matrons
who gazed at their fair reflections in
mirrors of polished metal? You've no
doubt read that these were remarkably
clear reAectors and that archaeolo-
gists who discover them in ruins say
they are far superior to modern glass.
The story is that the metal mirror
came from China, where dainty Chin.
csc ladies used them with a coat OF
white metal over the surface to give re-
Election proper color. Be that as 1t
NAV, these metal mirrors are being
shown now in small sizes under the
disguised name of trench mirrors"
Many young women are said to be
purchasing these small, compact mir
rors for presentations to their depart
ing soldier boys.

GrinneII Alumni to Meet
The College GIee Club

Nearly 100 Grinnell college alumni
in Omaha have been invited to at
tend a reunion with alumnae from
Council Bluffs and nearby towns, at
the First Congregational church in
Council Bluffs next Friday evening.
The Grinnell College Glee club, which
will give concert that evening at
the Strand theater in Council Bluffs,
and number of Grinnell college STU
dents at home for the spring vaca-
ton, will be guests. A banquet in the
church parlors will be followed by
brief reunion program. The party will
then attend the concert, where a sec
ton has been reserved for them.
Prof. w. A. Willard OF the Univer-
sity of Nebraska College of Medicine
here has charge of arrangements. He
is secretary of the alumni association.
The glee club, now on its twenty
third annual concert tour, is one of
the most popular of this part of the
country and a number of Omahans
are arranging parties aside from the
alumni reunion. The club will not
give concert in Omaha this year.

Unless the manufacturers and job
bers of Omaha get busy, along with
others in their line in other parts OF
the country, the higher dcmurrage
charges in effect for some months
past on interstate business may be
made permanent, or at least may be
continued in effect for longer period
than was originally contemplated.
When the Interstate Commerce
commission gave the railroad permis-
sion to charge the increased rate dur
ing the last winter the permission was
for a limited period of time. That
permission expires May |, and it is
definitely understood that the roads
are preparing to ask the commission
to extend that permission.
The rate of demurrage now in Ell
feet under this permission is 81 per
car for the first day it is held after
the expiration of free time, 81 for the
second day, So for the third day, and
S. for every day thereafter.
This, however, has never affected
Omaha manufacturers on business
within this state, as it merely applied
to interstate business.

Buv From These Omaha Firms
Higher Demurrage Charges Stand
Unless Manufacturers Get Busy

1t did, however, affect them on ship
ments into Wyoming, the Dakotas,
Iowa, Kansas. Colorado, Montana
and Idaho, all OF which are consid-
cred legitimate trade territory for
Omaha manufacturers, and into all of
which states a great deal of Omaha
made goods is annually shipped.
This interstate demurrage increase
was allowed by the Interstate Com
merce commission as a kind OF
emergency measure, designed to help
relieve the ar-shortage situation. 1t
was thought that the holding OF cars
by the shippers long after they should
normally have been expected to be
unloaded was one of the causes of
the car shortage. 1t was hoped that
the increased demurrage charge
would furnish an incentive to ship
pers to unload cars quickly and put
them at the disposal of the railroads
again. How much this may have
done toward relieving the pressure no
one can say but the fact remains that
the car-shortage condition was not
noticeably relieved after the permis-
sion went into effect.
