The waste of surplus fruits and veg
etables in this country each year is
large. 1t would be deplorable II 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 part of
the surplus perishables as possible.
Any fruit or vegetable and practical
ly any other food may be canned sat

method Of canning taught by the Unit

to the boys and girls of the canning
clubs in the northern and western
states. The homemade wash boiler

canning, described below, is entirely
effective. Home-size water seal,

amount in the tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor. a 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 No. 3 can and one teaspoon
full In a No. can. For beans, okra,
caulifower. etc., brine containing ~

four ounces to a gallon Of water, II
needed.
In order to conserve the supply Of
tin cans, 1t 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 a suitable one for intermittent
processing, for which the best type Is a
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the begin
ming Of each processing to allow for

There will be no spoilage II the d.

Fruits which are put up with heavy
sirups can be kept under cork and

ties, glasses and Jars for putting up
fruits.
Vegetables, meats, and fish, however.
cannot be kept safely unless they are
hermetically 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 a
rather dry paste, which is put only
on the end of the label, so that 1t does
not touch the tin. Paste may cause
rust, and In damp climates 1t is some
times customary to lacquer the outside
of the can before 1t is labeled. The

sale. must contain the net weight In

NAVY LEAGUE WAS TOO HASTY
1t is Now Sorry for It's Harsh Criti-
cism of Navy Department

In statement Thursday, the Navy
League announced it's acceptance of
the report of the naval board on the
Mare Island explosion and expresses
regret that, in former statement,
it gave currency to an opinion that
the investigation was being hamper
ed by the Navy Department under
the influence of powerful labor in
terests. The former statement led to
the bitter controversy between the
league and Secretary Daniels.
The leagues statement also regrets
that in referring to labor influence
it was not made clear that it did not
refer to the standard labor unions,
but to "the Germanized I. w. w."
i The statement, issued with the ap-
prevail Of Col. Robert M. Thompson,
president Of the league, says the or

no "hampering instructions Or re-
strictive direction as to the method
