CAN SURPLUS FOOD, BUT USE JARS AND CANS v

The waste of surplus fruits and veg
etables in this country each year is
large. 1t would be deplorable if this
normal waste were allowed to go on
this year when every ounce of food
that can be produced is needed. The
waste can be avoided in large part if
housewives will can as large a part Of
the surplus, pefishables as possible.
Any fruit or vegetable and practical
ly any other food may be canned sat
isfactorily by the One-period cold-pack
method of canning taught by the Unit
ed States department Of agriculture
to the boys and girls Of the canning
clubs in the northern and western
states. The homemade wash boiler
equipment for use in this method of
canning, described below, is entirely
effective. Home-SiZe water seal,
steam-pressure or pressure-cooker can
ming outfits, which save time and fuel,
may be used instead if desired.
Preliminary Preparation for Canning,
Provide a false bottom of wooden
The Benson signal., 1917-07-14

juice should be added in excess Of the
amount in the tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor, mixture
Of sugar and salt adds greatly to the
flavor Of such products as tomatoes,
peas, Lima beans and corn. The mix
ture recommended by the government
specialists in canning is composed Of
one-third salt and two-thirds sugar.
Two level teaspoonfuls Of this are
placed in a No. 8 can and one teaspoon
full in a No. can. For beans, okra,
cauliflOwer, etc., brine containing 21&
ounces Of salt to gallon of water Is
used. For asparagus a heavier brine,
four ounces to gallon Of water, Is
needed.
In order to conserve the supply Of
tin cams, it is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use should
be put up, whenever possible, in glass.
The hermetic type of jar, however, is
not q suitable one for intermittent
processing, for which the best type is
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the begin
ming Of each processing to allow for
expansion.
The Benson signal., 1917-07-14

Throw out all vegetables and fruits
which are withered or unsOund. Wash
out all grit and dirt. If possible, use
only fruits and vegetables picked the
same day and never can peas and corn
picked more than five hours.
Prepare fruits and large-sized vege-
tables for blanching. Remove all spots
from apples.
Prepare beans and green's as for
cooking. Be especially careful to re-
move all foreign plants from the
green's.
Blanch vegetables and all fruits ex-
cept berries by leaving them from
three to five minutes in clean boiling
water, or by steaming them for SIM
liar period in a colander over a vessel
of boiling water or in steam cooker.
Remove the blanched products from
the boiling water or steam and plunge
them quickly into cold water, the cold
er the better. Take them out imme-
diately and let them drain. Don't let
them soak in the cold water.
From this point on, speed is highly
important. The blanched vegetables
and fruits, which are slightly warm,
must not be allowed to remain out of
the containers a moment longer than
is necessary.
Remove skins when required, and as
each article is pared cut it up into
proper size and pack directly into the
clean, scalded cans or jars.
Pack as solid as possible, being care
full not to bruise or mash soft prod
ucts.
In the case of fruit, fill the contain
ers at once with boiling hot sirup.
In the case of vegetables, fill the
containers with boiling hot water to
which a little salt has been added.
Place scalded rubber rings on the
glass jars and screw down the tops.
Seal tin cans completely. Watch
them for leaks. AS the preliminary

soup stock ... -. 80 rs go As
Time schedule given is based upon
the one-quart pack and upon fresh
picked products.
When processing fruits in steam
pressure Gamers, not over five pounds
of steam pressure should be used.
When processing vegetables and
meats do not use over fifteen pounds
Of pressure.
After processing, remove the con-
tainerS.
Tighten the tops Of jars immediate
ly and stand the containers upside
down in" cool place, being careful
that no draft strikes the hot jars.
Watch for leakage and screw covers
down tighter when necessary. Store
in a cool, dry place, not exposed to
freezing temperature.
Use band labels for cans, being care
full not to let the glue get on the can
itself as it may cause rust.
From time to time, especially in very
hot weather, examine jars and cans,
making certain that there are no leaks,
swellings or other signs Of fermenta-
ton.
There will be no spoilage if the di-
rections are followed implicitly and the
containers are sealed up tight.
Fruits which are put up with heavy
sirups can be kept under cork and
paraffin seal. Save all wide-necked bot
ties, glasses and jars for putting up
fruits.
L Vegetables, meats, and fish, however.
cannot be kept safely unless they are
Theoretically sealed. Reserve regular
jars for products that cannot be
packed in other ways.
AS there may be some difficulty in
securing cans and jars, dry or keep in
other ways everything that need not be
canned.
The labelling should be done with
rather dry paste, which is put only
on the end of the label, so that it does
not touch the tin. Paste may cause
rust, and in damp climates it is some
times customary to lacquer the outside
Of the can before it is labeled. The
label, if the product is intended for
sale, must contain the net weight in
pounds and ounces and the packers
name and address.
In packing fruits and vegetables, it
is necessary to surround them with
brine, Sirup or water, but under the
terms Of the federal law governing the
interstate shipment of canned goods,
no more of this liquor is allowed than
is actually necessary to cover the con-
tents after as full pack as possible is
made. With tomatoes no water what
ever should be added and no tomato

lattice work, crosspieces of wood, or
coarse wire netting for your clean
wash boiler or other large, deep vessel
to be used for steriliZing. This is for
the purpose of keeping the containers
from contact with the hot bottom of
the vessel and to permit the free cir
culation of water under them.
Fill the vessel with clean water so
that the boiling water will cover the
tops of the jars or cans. Begin heat
ing the water so that it will be boiling
violently by the time the containers
are packed.
See that all cans or jars are in good
condition and absolutely clean. Scald
them thoroughly and put them in
vessel of water on the stove so that
they will be hot when the product is
ready for packing. Use new rubber
rings for jars and scald them just be-
fore putting them on the jars.
Preparing Fruits and Vegetables.
Start with clean hands, clean uten-
sils, and clean, sound, fresh products

FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLIES
May BE SteriIized and Bottled With
out Sugar and Made Into Jelly
at Any Time.

(F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Fruit juices for use later in jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellieS at
the housewives convenience. This en-
ables her to do with fewer jelly glasses
and to distribute her purchases of SUI
gar for jelly making through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled juice she
can make a greater variety Of jellies,
as juices which will not jell can be put
up when the fruit is ripe and combined
later with fruits that will jell, or fruits
ripening at different seasons can be
combined. For example, the juice Of
Strawberries, cherries, or pineapple
can beSkept without sugar and later
when apples are plentiful can be made
into combination jelly.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as if jelly
were to be made at the time. Cook
the fruits until they are soft and
strain out the juice through a flannel
bag. Heat and pour while hot into
bottles previously scalded. Fill the
bottles full, leaving no air space be-
tween juice and cork or seal. Place
the filed sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thir-
ty minutes. Make sure that the corked
or sealed end is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool cover
the cork with a paraffin seal. Thor

it is not necessary to exhaust the cans.
How to Sterilize or Process.
Put the jars or cans as soon as pos
sible into boiling water in wash boiler
or into your canning device. Let them
process for the time specified in the
table, counting from the time the wa
ter begins to boil again, or the gauge
on the canning outfit registers the
proper pressure.

EVER SALIvATEO BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like
dynamite ON your
liver.

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury /;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. II
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Gallo
mel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel, 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel, 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

MR.. BRYAN"S LOYALTY.

Despite Mr., Bryan's mani
fest opposition to the admin
fstration and the trend of
public opinion at the begin
ming of the nations crisis, he
is proving himself loyal. IN
discussing the food control
measure he gives the admin
istration his unconditional
support in the following OK
preston that rings true as a
bell:
"A government that can
commander the lives of its
young men and call for tho
money of its older men should
have power to protect the
whole people from the greed of
an unpatriotic few"
