CHESTS ARE INVITED TO
LEAVE SUMNER RESORT

STOCKHOLM, August 31.-The spec
tacle, probably unique, of a popular
and much frequented summer resort
and bathing town inviting its summer
guests to leave and not return has just
been presented by Sodertalje. The city
authorities took action after meeting
at which the scarcity of food was dis
cussed, which, in their opinion, made
it undesirable that inroads should be
made by summer visitors on the stocks
available. Some 5000 visitors are af-
fected by the invitation to leave.

2 THE CANNING KITCHEN. :
+ \ = \ 4 \ = = \ 4 Z I =
There is a place of savory grace,
Most scrupulously clean,
Where every pots without spot,
And sterilized each bean.
Where system rules the very tools,
And every cooks a queen!
There day by day the gold and gray,
From hovel and estate,
Bring garden truck to try their luck
Before it is too late,
For Hoover claims that frugal danes
Can seal nations fate!
0 you may knit and do your bit,
Or you may cut and sew,
Or you may strive a car to drive,
Or WELD a spade and hoe.
But there's a thrill when jars you fill
None but preservers know.
For there is joy without alloy
In saving every beet;
Tut put up jam for Uncle Sam
Is solemn work-and sweet;
And stripes and stars with rows of
jars
May keep us from defeat!
Anne P. L. Fields, of the Vigi-
lantes.
