URGES CANNING OF
FRUIT AND PRODUCE

THAT Wilmington women are desrous
of doing thoir bit" in other ways than
sewing and naking supplies for the pur-
poses of relief was shown yesterday az
teruoon when q large number gathered
in The historic City Hall building and
listened attcntyely to an interesting
lecture on "Thc Conservation Of Food
and the Elimination Of Waste which
was delivered by Mrs. i. G. shy.
der, OF Newport. u government expert
in home economics. The Lecture was
given under the direction Of the Home
Economics Committee of the Whining
ton Nomca's National Defense Commit
tee.
Mrs Snyder gave many helpful
points which showed how food might
be conserved and how nSuch OF that
which was ordinarily wasted could be
utilized. Mrs. Snyder advocated the
using OF the cheaper cuts Of meats,
saying that with the use Of the cas-
serole. they could be cooked in many
dainty and tasty ways. Sugar, she
said is one Of the indispensables. and
L is difficult to find subst tutes for IT,.
However. rhubarb and tomatoes will
require less sugar If a little soda is
put with them while they are cooking.
IN the course OF her lecture Mrs.
Snyder mentioned some Of the best
foods TO use TO get the most nutri-
lion, and she added that fruits and
vegetables should be eaten in abund-
suce. She strongly advocated the can
ltng Of much fruit and many vege-
.ables, saying that women who do so
Mil be that much in next fall.
She also explained many processes
of cooking. such as the blanching Of
vegetables by boiling them in hot
water for five minutes then dipping
them in cold water and again allowing
them to boil. This. she explained.
takes away the strong taste Of many
vegetables. Potatoes, she said, are
better il put on to boil in water that
Is already hot. instead Of allowing
hem to stand in cold water before
cooking.
Following the lecture yesterday a
number of questions were asked, the
women jotting down notes and taking
most pronounced interest in the
discussion. Two classes were form
