The Red Cross.

In an age charged with being self
ish, sordid, and commercial there has
grown up and developed the greatest
organization for unselfish service the
world has ever seen-the American
Red Cross. The growth of the Red
Cross Society is evidence not to be
controverted that the spirit of ser
vice is strong in the hearts of the
people Of today. The work of the
society demonstrates that there are
thousands who are willing to devote
their services to humanity, and the
support given them by voluntary con-
tributions shows that there are hun

 As the season for string beans" has arrived. I thought perhaps a good many of the housewives of Phoenix and vii cinity would like to know, through the column of your papers, a simple way of canning this vegetable. I have used the recipe which I am giving below, and found the beans when canned and ready for the table to taste as delicious as though fresh from the garden.
 Canning String Beans
 Wash and cut the beans into inch or small pieces, cover with water and boil twenty minutes. Fill sterilized glass jars full of beans and to each quart of beans add one teaspoon cream of tartar on top of beans in jar. Pour boiling water in each jar of beans till running over. Screw on lids air tight. On opening them for use, pour off the water in the jars, wash the beans thoroughly in cold water and boil in fresh water until pinch of soda and seasoning to taste. pinch of soda and seasoning to taste.
