RED RIPE TOMATOES
 ARE BEST FOR CANNING
National Emergency Food Garden Com mission Tells How Best To Pre- serve Surplus Stocks of Food.

Tomatoes which are ripe enough for
 serving raw on the table are just right for canning, says bulletin from the
 National Emergency Food Garden
 Commission at Washington.
 Use only the firm, well-formed fruit
 and scald for several minutes to loos- en the skin. Dip into cold water for
 an instant, peel and remove cores with
 a narrow-bladed, disappointed knife, being careful not to cut the seed lobes more than necessary.
 Pack carefully and firmly into hot jars and add a level teaspoonful of salt for each quart. No water should be added to tomatoes. adjust and
 partially tighten tops of jars and sterilize in boiling water for twenty five minutes to thirty minutes. Re- move jars from sterilizer and tighten tops at once. Invert jars to test for leakage and let them cool in this po-
 sition in a place free from draughts Wrap in dark paper to prevent loss of
 color and store in cool, dry place
 Small tomatoes an inch and half ir
 diameter may be washed carefully blanched for ten minutes, cold-dippee
 and packed with peeling. Jars should
 be filled with boiling water a level teaspoonful of salt added to eacf
 quart and the whole sterilized fol I twenty or thirty minutes.
 1 Tomatoes for drying should be pre-
 pared in the same way as for canning

Tan, Red or Freckled
 Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer.soiled skin ot its muddiness, freckles, blotches or tan, the best thing to do is to free yourself of the skin itself. This is cas- fly accomplished by the use of ordi- nary mercolized wax, which can be lad at any drug store. Use at night as you use cold cream. washing it off in the morning. Immediately the of- lending surface skin begins to come off in the fine powder-like particles. Gradually the entire cuticle is absorb ed, without pain or inconvenience. The second layer of skin now in evi- dence presents spotless whiteness and sparkling beauty obtainable in no other way.
 If the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle your skin, there's an effective and harmless remedy you can readily make at home. Just let an ounce of powdered saNolite dissolve in half p.nt witch hazel and bathe your face in the liquid. This at once tighter i, the skin and smooths out the lines. r,aking you look years younger.-- Adv

RED CROSS URGED TO SEND

CeiNed by the Surgical Dressings COM
mittee of the Gardiner Red Cross:
The Surgical Dressings situation
ahroad Is extremely Important. To
show what effort is necessary for the
PRODUCTION of dressings. | quote the
following cable from Major Murphy in
Paris t.s.
The Red Cross has direct response
bility Of supplying us with surgical
dressings and nothing in the whole
situation here is equally important.
Red Cross standard dressings in mil
lions must he sent over with all pos
slbe speed. If this is not done and done
Immediately a serious calamity and
rational disgrace is inevitable The
american women who compose the Red
Cross Chapters should prepare with all
entfrSia SIN and speed possible the
dressings which are going to mean life
and death to our own men. This whole
question deals with the most vital
thing that the women of America can
do for the soldiers in this war
This information should be given
wide publicity by YOU to stimulate tn"
interest of the Red Cross workers and
thereby increase the production of
dressings. Since in many cases a whole
l,oX of dressings is used on one pa
tient it may be seen that the demand
is stupendouS.
