YOM KIPPUR FAST
BEGINS At SUNSET
Jews Throughout the World
Will Observe the Day
of Atonement
"a HOURS OF WORSHIP
IN SYNAGOGUES

The fast day known as Ycm Kip
pur. or the Day Of Atonement viii
be observed by the Jewish people
throughout the world beginning at
sunset this evening. and ending at
sunset tomorrow evening. This Is
the most important day Of religious
observance to the Jews, and IS more
generally regarded as a holy day
than any other festival or fast day
in the Hebrew calendar. The observ-
Rnce OF the Day Of Atonement is dis.
tinguished from all other observances
by a most rigorous day Of fasting
and prayer. and from the beginning
Of the celebration until its end tbe
places of worship Of the Jews, both
orthodox and re1oIm, lre crowded
with worshippers. The services, be-
ginning at dusk this evening coL-
tinue for several hours. and then are
resumed tomorrow morning, and are
practically continuous during the day
until sunset brings them to a close
Some OF the ultra- orthodox. chiefly
among the Russian and Polish Jews,
remain in the synagogue, praying and
exhorting, during the entire twenty
four hours that the fast continues.
The observant Jew both orthodox
and reform, abstains entirely from all
business or work of any kind except
IN great emergency he may be Per
mitted to do such acts of succor OF
charity which require immediate at
tention, and which cannot be deferred
until after the end of the fast Dur
ing the continuance of the fast he IS
prohibited from eating or drinking
anything in the shape of food or sus
tenance, and not a particle of food OF
a drop of water is permitted 10 pass
HIS lips. Under the orthodox dispen
saHon none IS exempt from this rig
orous fast except the sick. nursing
mothers, children Of tender years. and
the very aged and decrepit, but there
are not many of the latter among the
orothdox Jews who avail themselves
Of this exemption. The fasting be
gins at sunset and continues fol
twenty-four hours, until the sun has
set, and at least three stars are visible
In the heavens. They indicate to th'
piOus Jews that the day is past, nigh
has come, and with It the end Of tbs
fast so that they can return to theii
homes from the synagogue and breal
their fast.

sanitary conditions in canning factories.
| II awakened packers also and the
| lhousecleaning that followed resulted in
better methods and safe. clean products.
Conditions now are such that it is
difficult to secure meat in sufficient
quantities for daily family use and
those fortunate enough to have a surplus
are Interested i'm canning it for their
own tables simple methods Of canning
meat are difficult to secure but the fact
of The matter is, that this preservation
of meat is not difficult from the methods
used for keeping any other food. Steril-
izltiou In that is the entire secret Of
preserving anything.
The easiest method of canning meat is
scar the meat in a hot oven, in boiling
water or in hot fat until it is fine
brown on all sides. Now simmer it in
covered kettle with little water until
meat is so tender il falls apart. Steri-
lie pint jars. Test TO see if they are
air tight. Pack the meat in solidly; add
the broth, or stock. the meat cooked IN
so all space is filed with it. Add one
half teaspoon Of salt; pepper to taste,
and onion juice if you are sure your
family like meat favored So Put the
jars in a wash boiler, with rack IN
the bottom. containing enough water
to almost reach the tops of the jars.
Cover the boiler. Gamer or steam
cooker. When the water around the
Jars reaches the boiling point mark the
time from then. sterilize from four to
five hours. keeping the water at boiling
heat all the time. Before removing the
jars cool them and tighten the lids
firmly.
The meat should be well Drowned
before it is cooked as this gives an ex-
cellent flavor and the stock should be
reduced until it is heavy and rich.
Poultry is canned as directed above
with better results than if the raw
meat is packed into jars and sterilized
on consecutive days as so often sugges-
ted. Celery salt is a good seasoning
to put with chicken or any fowl TO be
canned
One thing more: Three pounds Of
meat when reduced by cooking vii fill
one pint and one half pint jars. Small
jars are better than large ones as the
meat cooks more thoroughly and this
is a highly concentrated form Of meat.

GIRLS ARE TO WEAR OVERALLS

The fashion editor OF the Woman's
Home Companion says in the July issue:
Something is going into the summer
girls trunk this year that has never
gone into it before. Have you guessed
already that it is overalls, and that
she has taken the hint from the busy,
capable woman in Europe who have
been doing mems work since the war
started
1.-THE American girl is a 1evel-headed
young person. and when she is plan
ming her clothes she considers carefully
their appropriateness. That's why she
is looking with favor this summer on
the overalls for women that have just
been put upon the market.
THE shops are dispaying them in
cool durable materials selected pur-
posely for summer wear. They come
also in the most attractive stripes, and
also in the very durable khaki shade
They consist OF an easy-to-get-into coat,
and overalls which are full enough to
suggest in themselves that they will
be donned not by mere man, but q very
feminine young person"
