Every pound of vegetables prop

of fruit preserved, adds that much to
our insurance of victory.

operating in mobilizing the food re-
sources of the nation.
Fill fruit jars with the fresh apple
cider. Add tablespoonful of sugar
to each quart. Place rubber and
cap in position and partially tighten
(cap and tip in case of tin CAM.
Sterilize in hot water bath outfit for
10 minutes; in the water-sealed out
fit for minutes; in the steam-pres-
sure outfit under pounds of steam
for minutes: in the aluminium pres
sure cooker for 2 minutes. Remove
jars, tighten covers, invert to cool
and test joints.
Corn bread made with skim milk
has much more food value than when
made with water, because the milk
contains protein, which is a tissue
builder.
Shrinkage may occur during steril-
izing from the following causes: Im>
proper blanching and cold dipping,
careless packing, poor grading steril-
iZing for too long period, lack of
judgment in the amount and size of
product put into container.
Shrinkage of greens or potherbs
during the canning process is usually
due to insufficient blanching. The
proper way to blanch all greens or
potherbs is in a steamer or in q ves-
sci improvised to do the blanching in
live steam above the water line. If
this is done a high percentage of
mineral salts and volatile oil is re-
tanned by the product.

that the convening of the conStitu-
tional convention will be one of the
most important gatherings in this
state for many years, we see all
preparations for the convention
made with a haste that would in
dicate either that those who are re-
sponsible for the convention do not
appreciate its interest to the public
or that they are unduly anxious to
be about their work.
One important fact, however,
must not be overlooked. The new
constitution must be ratified by a
vote of the people. And the people
will have more time to study the
new constitution that they have
had to study about who should
make that document.
