the recent German activity during

that the Germans were stealthily

Canning Hints.

Can only products that cannot be
kept otherwise.
Dry fruits and sweet corn and such
other vegetables as may be preserved
in this way.
Concentrate products so that each
jar or can will hold as much food and
as little water as possible.
There is a shortage of containers.
Don't let one be wasted In your home.
Empty spices and similar materials
from jars and fill them with food.
Reserve regular tight-sealing con-
tainers for perishable vegetables, meat
and fish.
Use wide-necked bottles with paraf-
fin seals for putting up fruit and pre-
serves; use glasses or crooks for jellies
and jams use bottles and jugs corked
and sealed with paraffin for fruit
juices, catsups and other liquid prod
ucts.

Australia at ArraS.

The Australians in the fighting
round Arras maintained the reputa-
ton for desperate bravery they won
on the Gallipoli peninsula. They seem
to fear shells no more than summer
rain, and they have habit Of clinging
to positions they have taken as long
as there is breath in their bodies. Ac-
ton is meat and drink to the men Of
the Antipodes, and they chafe in idle
ness, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Their temperament is not
that of many Of those with whom they
fight. They pity the Tommy" because
they think he is "bullied." They believe
themselves every whit as good as their
officers, and they loathe the Bull
Ring" (their name for the drill
ground). This restless independence
is the natural result of a lifetime
largely spent in ranging the unfenced
spaces in lonely self-reliance. But
the Hindenburg line has learned that
when these "bear-cats" are turned
loose they are not to be stopped until
they are slain.

Half of the Women Will Be
Supporting Themselves in
1910, Pastors Prediction

Rev. DR.. Waldo Amos of Hoboken-
N. Y, predicts that by 1910 half the
women in the country will be self-sup-
porting, and that marriages will grad
ually decrease In number.
at is a startling fact that young
women are not marrying today" he
said, according to the New York Eve
ming Journal Hundreds of thousands
are going into business. The supreme
mission of women in life should be to
become mothers and to make homes
The objection that many have to being
married is that they become depend
ents."
Doctor Amos said that all through
New England there are many villages
which are known as "she villages"
The men have left for the large cities
in the hope of gaining wealth.
Men are largely responsible for the
failure of women to marry" he said
MANY men are too busy making
money to marry, or refuse to marry
on small salaries. This has forced
women into business.
Statistics show that in 1900 one
out Of every five women was self-sup-
porting. BY 1925 one out Of every
three, and by 1910, one out of every
two will be self-supporting."

Value of Corn Meal in the
Diet Underestimated, Says
Expert in Home Economics

Include corn meal In the diet and
learn to like it. The qualities OF corn
meal have been underestimated, In the
opinion of Mrs. Mary P. Van Zile, dean
Of the division of home economics In
the Kansas State Agricultural college
Bolted corn meal is now cheap. as
compared with other cereals. 1t costs
about half as much as wheat flour,
only a third as much as rolled oats.
and fourth as much as rolled wheat
Corn meal has high food value.
says Mrs. Van Zile. Although the bolt
ed meal does not supply so much It's
sue-building material as wheat fioun
it does supply more starch and fat.
The unbolted corn meal, which Is Of
good flavor and is preferred by many,
has more tissue-bullding material, as
well as more starch and fat, than the
wheat flour.
For a long time pellagra was sup
posed to be contracted through eating
corn meal. Scientific investigation has
proved that this is false and there is
no danger from eating ordinary quanti-
ties.
Corn meal can be used successfully
in a variety of ways. AS breakfast
cereal, fruit mush, corn bread, or as
corn griddle cakes it is a success from
nutritive as well as an economic
standpoint. A satisfactory bread may
be made by using one-half wheat flour
and one-half corn meal.

AN OUNCE OF MEAT
"Many a Mlckle Makes q
MuckIe."

An ounce Of edible meat-lean meat,
fat and lean, suet or fat trimmed from
steak, chops, or roast-seems hardly
worth saving.
Many households take just this view
of the matter-do not trouble to put
such an Insignificant scrap into the
icebox or soup pot-do not bother to
save for cookery q spoonful or two Of
drippings or a tiny bit of suet or fat.
Yet If every one of the 20,000,00O
American families on the average
wastes each day only one ounce of
edible meat or fat, 1t means a daily
waste of 1,250,000 pounds of animal
food-456, 100000 pounds of valuable
animal food a year. according to sta
tisticians of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
At average dressed weights, 1t would
take the gross weight of over 75,000,-
600 steers, or over 100000 hogs
bones and ALTO provide this weight
of meat or fat for each garbage pail
or kitchen sink. If the bones and
butchers waste are eliminated, these
figures would be increased to 100000
cattle and 100000 hogs.
Or, again, If the waste were distrib-
uted according to the per capita con-
sumption of the various meats (exclud-
Ing bones), 1t would use up COM
bined herd Of over $4,000 beef ami
mails, 291,0 900 calves, over 625,0OO
sheep and lambs, and over 2,1S2,0 900
hogs.
Millions of tons Of feed and hay,
the grass from vast pastures and the
labor of armies of cattlemen and
butchers also would be scrapped by
this meat-waste route.
Waste of meat or fat is inexcusable,
say the government experts. Every
bit of lean meat can be used in soups,
stews, or In combination with cereals
every spoonful of fat can be employed
In cookery; every bit of drippings and
gravy can be saved so easily and used
to add flavor and nourishment to other
dishes.
