COLD STORAGE.

Fruits and vegetables well may be
preserved through freezing storage in
the present food emergency by con-
Germs not primarily engaged in com
mercial cold-storage operations, say
specialists of the United States De-
parment of Agriculture. Many hotels,
restaurants, and ice-cream factories
are equipped with facilities for re-
frieerated storage; and pie factories
and other large users Of fresh fruits
and vegetables may find it advantage
Gus to provide similar mea for the
preservation Of their raw materials or
utilize the facilities Of the large public
coldstorage houses, with which most Of
the large communities are provided.
The fresh products should be stored
in temperature of 100 to 100 F. until
they are to be used. Sweet o r on
the cob, string beans, green Lima
beans, beets, asparagus, parsnips'
peas in the pod, Budlong spinach,
raspberries, strawberries, ~cranberrles,
, blueberries, gooseberries, blackber-
ries, loganberries, currants, plums,
and cherries are among the perish
/ ables that already have been kept sat
isfactorily in this way to some extent,
the specialists point out. These pro-
ducts, however, must be cooked within
a few hours after removal from the
freezing temperatures.
Undoubtedly the extension OF the
practice by concerns having freezing
storage available would help to a on
siderable extent in reducing the waste
of perishables. If such practices were
adopted generally, the canning OF
much food to be held for periods OF
6 to 8 months could be obviated
Tin cans, therefore, could be released
for more extensive use in canning
foods which could be preserved in nc
other way.
The daily commonwealth. (Greenwood, Leflore Co., Miss.) 1916-1919, 1917-08-13
CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT
SUGAR.

Fruit for use in pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use of any sugar at all,
according to the canning specialists
of the u S. Agricultural Department.
They, therefore, advise those who, be-
cause of the high price Of sugar, have
been thinking of reducing the amount
of fruit they put up, to use as much
of their surplus as possible by the use
of boiling water when sugar strip is
beyond their means. Any fruit, they
saw. may be successfully sterilized and
retained in the pack by simply add
ing boiling water instead Of the hot
sirup. The use of sugar, Of course, is
desirable in the canning of all kinds
of fruits and make a better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover, most
of the fruits when canned in water
alone do not retain their natural flaw
or. texture and color as well as fruit
put up in strip. Fruit canned with
out sugar to be used for sauces or
desserts must be sweetened.
Directions.
I, Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in a strainer
and pouring water over it until it Is
clean. Pack the product throughly in
glass jars or tin cans until they are
full use the handle Of a tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife or packing
purpose. Pour over the fruit boiling
water from a kettle, place rubbers and
caps in position, partially seal if using
glass jars, seal completely if using tin
cans. Place the containers in ster-
ilized vat such as a wash boiler with
false bottom, or other receptacle i'm
provised for the purpose. If using a
hot water bath outfit, process for ~
minutes; count time after the water
has reached the boiling point; the wa
| ter must cover the highest jar in con-
tainer. After sterilizing remove packs,
seal jars, wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in a dry, cool
place.
: If you are canning in tin cans il
/ will improve the product to plunge
+ the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilizing. When US
: ing a steam pressure Gamer lnsteac
+ of the hot water bath, sterilize for II
{ minutes with five pounds Of steam
I pressure. Never allow the pressure
to 60 over 10 pounds.

Capitals We Have Had.

It is asserted sometimes that the United States has had five capitals. but the statement is not correct. The United States has had hut three cap itals-New York, Philadelphia and Washington. In the period preceding the adoption of the constitution no place was legally constituted capital. In loose and unofficial sense it is pos siblc to describe as a capital any city which was the seat of government Taking the sessions of the Continental congress as establishing a seat of gov ernment in the Revolution and the confederation, the following cities may loosely rank As capitals: Phiia- delphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, York Princeton, Annapolis, Trenton and New York. The articles of confedera- tion were passed hy congress in Phil adelphia, and the federal convention charged to prepare a constitution con. vened at the same place.

Reconciliation.

In most families and amoag friends differences sometimes arise that are decidedly unpleasant. In nearly all cases these differences spring from misunderstanding. \ time. comes when explanations, apologies and req sons are in order, and . reconciliation takes place. This is thing much to be desired, and when it comes wash the slate clean. Leave. no fragments no leftovers, to be brought uP at an other time. Wash the slate clean as you would wipe out a faulty example Cleanse the heart of the last drop of bitterness or resentment. Let love and good will prevail. A genial spirit brings more real happiness than a manner so reserved as to raise doubt of the pleas Hre of meeting, doubt that recOncilia- lion was mutual. So forgive as to for get. It has been done and can be done. such forgiveness wins good will and cements friendships that fill life with joy. Hold yourself ready to wash the slate clean" ."-Milwaukee Journal.
