LOOKING TO WINTER WANTS

1t may not be too early for the war
gardeners. those patriotic backyard
and vacant lot performers, to be think
ing about canning their surplus pro-
ducts. Not. only the garden surplus
should be canned, but when vegetables
are plentiful in the markets the patri-
otto housewife will help save civic
waste by preserving all the vegetables
that her purse will allow. II vege-
tables are high in price the plea Is
likely to be made that it does not pay
to can them. But this year, when every
ounce of food saved counts in'the great
total, cost of preservation should not
be taken into consideration as a bar
rier to thrift. If vegetables are expen-
sive now what will they be when the
snow flies.
The average housekeeper, when told
to can vegetables, is likely to throw
up her hands in despair. This will be
because she does not know the latest
discoveries of science in food canning.
She knows only the old way OF put
ting up perishables, by cooking them
thoroughly and then packing them in
cans. This method is not successful
with most vegetables. 1t is not too
successful with fruit, as many house
keepers can testify who have gone to
the fruitshelf in winter to find some
lof their choicest jars modify. sour or
working. And the old method Is cost
ly, too. because it demands rich syrups
and heavily spiced mixtures.
The latest development In food can
ming is by sterilization. Under this sys-
tenn fruits and vegetables, we'll or
slightly cooked as the case may be, are
preserved By a process which kills all
germ life in the cans after they are
completely or partially sealed. 1t Is
cheaper and easier to preserve food
by sterilization than by the old cook
ing method Of canning, and, moreover,
it is even easier to put up vegetables
than fruits by this method.

OF AMERICAN INVENTION

Every ingenuity that has been
sprung on the world has originated in
the active mind of some American,
which. perhaps, accounts for the
United States being the most resource
full OF nations. We have just gone
through an intensive canvass for a
great war loan. but that method is not
new one. 1t was first introduced in
the Civil war. In pointing out this
circumstance a writer In a popular
magazine. recounts the fact that Jay
Cooke. in 1862. undertaking on COM
mission the floating OF s400000,00O

Street had looked coldly at the Treas
