the Equity Exchange. q method SINH
lar to that in vogue in Canada, has
attracted considerable attention and
IT has a good chance for passage in
1t in the house Of course. but it is
understood to have had the support
promised from several members of
the Equity society who were good
Equity members long before the
league of Townleyism was ever
thought of. This plan has been in
dorsed by the Equity people for sew
eral years and is still believed by them
to he the most logical plan for state
terminal elevators in that it does not
commit the state to out-and-out So
cialisn and still gains the point neo-
sssary to aid the farmer.
The bill in full follows:

Nided the elevator so constructed shall

Canning by the Cold Pack
Method,

Several people who did not have
the opportunity OF attending the
canning school held recently have
asked for information about the can,
ming OF vegetables. This article is
based on the canning school instruc,
tion and government pamphlets.
The cold pack method, which owes
its name to the fact that the jars are
packed with cold material, has been
popularized recently through the
boys and girls canning clubs which
the government is promoting in rural
districts. The method is highly en-,
dorsed by the government because
|, Product better
Texture
Flavor
:. Surest way to can vegetables.
). Safest way-no preservativcs.
4. Saves time.
). Takes drudgery out of canning.
There is no doubt about the SUI
perior appearance and quality of
foods canned by this method. The
results of the girls and boys can
ming club work have been products
rivaling in appearance the superior
brands of commercially canned
goods. The saving OF drudgery is
due to the fact that much of the
work over a hot stove is avoided, as
will be brought out in the general
instructions.
The main steps in the cold pack
process are as follows:
|. Select firm, fresh products. The
condition of the food is of great i'm
portance, for it is impossible to turn
out good canned goods from inferior
fresh material. The vegetables should
be in their prime and as fresh from
the field as possible. This latter con-
dition is hard one to meet in the
city, unless one is supplied direct
from the farm or goes to market
early on the day that the canning is
to be done. At any rate, the food
should always be canned the day
when purchased.
2. Wash.
3. Scald or blanch This third step
is the first departure from the older
methods of canning. "Scalding" is
self-explanatory; "blanching" means
steaming or boiling for a few min
utes. The purposes of blanching are
to eliminate acids and acrid favors,
to reduce bulk and to start the flow
Of the coloring matter, which flow is
later checked by the cold dip, thus
making a bright colored product in

Old Glory Bread

Mrs. George NJ. Reynolds, l444
Lake Shore drive, Chicago, is the
first woman of the Illinois division of
the woman's committee, National
| Council of Defense, to respond in a
practical way to the plea received
yesterday from Herbert c. Hoover,
national food administrator at Wash
ington.
Mr. Hoover stated that to meet the
need for wheat for the allies the
American consumption must be cut
down by the substitution of other
cereals. Mrs. Reynolds, patriotically
inclined, sought the woman's defense
committee and obtained a recipe for
"Old Glory" bread, which she then
tested out in her own kitchen, don
ming professional looking white
apron and working with a will.
Bread is hobby of mine" said
Mrs, Reynolds, "ahd | think there is
nothing SO good as home made bread
We have always had three kinds in
our bread box and now we shall have
Old Glory" T.. r5.
The recipe for "Old Glory" which
is being much used in France at pres
ent, follows:
cup rye flour,
3 cups whole wheat flour,
8 cups white -four,
4 cups water,
! teaspoon salt,
8 tablespoons shortening,
! yeast cake.
In response also to Mr.. Hoover's
message Miss Isabel Bevier, chair
man of the conservation department
of the committee, at once issued all

Second Canning Class
For COI0red Women Held

Twenty members of the Progressive
club of Zion = ~ptist church composed
the second and last class of the COL
ored women's canning school at the
Central High sch 81 Tuesday morn
ing.
Mrs. Byron Clark acted as demon
strator, while Mrs. L. NJ. Lord and
Mrs. L. ]. Healey taught the women
how to can tomatoes, beans, spinach,
beets and asparagus.
$50 energetic were the workers that
they accomplished in half day what
classes last week did at both morning
and afternoon classes" said Mrs.
Healey.
All vegetables canned by this morn
ing's class will be used at the church
dinners, which are held frequently for
the purpose of enlarging the building
fund. The church has never been re-
built since the tornado.

Guess Weight of Cakes.

Forty-eight cakes made by the best
cake makers in Omaha have been do
mated for the ice cream concession at
the war relief lawn fete at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Kennedy
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. H. c. Sum-
ney and Mrs. James Richardson, who
are in charge of the booth, are en-
thusiastic about the generous offers
of cake which people have made. Two
special cakes, one surprise, will be
placed on display so that people may
guess their weight. The person guess
ing nearest to the correct weight will
receive the cake as his prize.
Mrs. Sumney says that no one need
fear he has to spend great deal OF
money at the fete. Each small con-
tribution will help and the return for
the money will be greater than could
be had anywhere else. Tables orna.
mented with baskets of flowers will
be set in an open marquee and a corps
OF assistants clad in white will serve.

keepers there were responding also to
the plea for conservation by advocat-
ing the use of onc-fifth corn meal to
replace -four in the bread. They are
also advocating the use of much fish
instead of meat, as fish cannot be sent
to the allies. One meatlcss day and
