occurrence in certain vegetables o.
| unusual spores which prove trouble
some even under commercial canning
practices. BY following the simple
directions exactly the specialist:
themselves have put up with home
made water-bath outfits, without loss
thousands of jars and cans of variou:
products.
Things to Keep In Mind.
1.-The following points especially
should be kept in mind when canning
by the one-period cold-pack method
TEST jars, and use only those free
from flaw.
use only good quality live rubber
rings.
Use only fresh, sound vegetables
or fruits.
"Blanch in boiling water or live
steam-hot water or vapor will not
do.
Dip in cold water-not tepid or
warm water.
Dip quickly into and out of cold
water-do not soak.
Pack into jars immediately-do
not let the dipped products stand I'M
covered while you attend to some
thing else.
BE sure the jars are hot when the
product is put into them. They can
be kept hot in vessels of boiling water.
place the top and rubber on each
jar as it is filled-do not wait until all
the jars are filed
place the jars in boiling (not
merely hot) water deep enough to
cover them entirely (not merely part
way up the side of the jars).
''SteriliZe for the full time indicated
in thps directions. Count time after
boiling point has been reached.
after sealing, turn jars upside
down to cool, SO that those with leaky
seals may be found easily, and so that
their contents may be re-sterilized in
containers
store in a cool place-not in a hot
kitchen or attic.
above all, plan SO that you will
not be interrupted. Then work quick
ly. and devote your whole attention to
the work in hand. Let all other
go, if possible, until all
the jars are in the sterilizer. Any de-
lay in performing the steps between
blanching and sterilizing means risk
of loss"

st. Johnsbury Swelters In
Day of Warmth and Humidity

FOLLOWING On the heels of three days
OF comparatively cool weather, anoth-
ef neat wave struck st. Johnsbury and
Vicinity yesterday that made the warm
weather of last week sink in compari-
son. Not only did the thermometer
register as high as 100 in the shade,
but great humidity of the air made
the heat more unbearable Toward
night slight breeze sprang up, cool
ing the air somewhat. 1t also brought
along heavy thunder shower that
clarified the air to a still greater ex-
tent.
Old-timers gave as their opinion
that yesterday was the hottest day in
the past five years Some even placed
the day of greater heat and humid
ity as far back as ten years. Among
the high marks of the day was that
of SO in the shade, registered at the
central fire station.

CAN CAREFULLY.
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture Tells How 10 Avoid Canning
Troubles.

Washington, D. c., July 20-Care-
full, painstaking canning is the only
kind of canning that pays declares
the United States Departm of
Agriculture in a statement issued to-
day warning housewives against care
lessness in putting up fruits and vege-
tables.
THE faithful following of approved
methods and directions is the only
safe road to success in canning" says
the statement. Housewives who care
lessy practice methods that are new
to them, or who attempt to. improve
on the methods, or to make short
cuts, are taking a risk of. spelling
good food. Canning is essentially a
scientific process, however much it
may have been simplified for home
use.
I'm the canning methods which the
department advocates careful study
has been made of the essentials for
the preservation of food products,
and all steps not absolutely necessary
have been eliminated. There is good
reason. therefore, for each step which
is advocated. If home Gamers pro-
fess to follow a department method,
they should follow it in detail: and if
they fail so to follow it, they should
frankly recognize that not the method
but the application of it is at fault.
Especially there should be no mixing
of methods. whether those of the de-
partment or others. One method
should be adopted and followed care
fully in canning any given batch of
products.
In the one-period cold-pack method
of canning in particular, canning has
been simplified greatly as compared
with some other methods. For this
very reason, every step called for in
the directions is essential, and not
one should be omitted or performed
otherwise than as indicated. Special
lists who have worked out and dem
onstrated this method of canning for
the last five years, have investigated
all reports of the spoilage of products,
and have found in every case that the
trouble was due to faulty equipment
including poor rubbers and contain
ers, to failure to follow the directions
carefully, to the use of old or spoiled

Auto and Team Collide and Motor
cycle Runs Into Touring Car.

Although there was the usual heavy
Sunday automobile traffic through ST.
Johnsbury, there was only two slight
accidents reported. The automobile
of James Burns collided with the team
owned by William Bailey at a point
on the North Danville road, resulting
in very little damage either to team
or car. and a motorcycle ran into an
automobile on the corner of Central
street and Western avenue. The mo-
torcycle was badly damaged, but be-
yond a few scratches the car seemed
all right The names of either party
were not given.

A Message From the Red Cross.

Mrs. Belmont Tiffany has written
for the August issue of Harper's Ba-
Ear very interesting article on "a
| Message from the American Red
Cross to the Women of America" She
especially mentions the part that wo-
men of society are taking in this great
work, and also tells of the organiza-
tons rapid growth since the war be-
gan in 1914.
Mrs. Tiffany explains very clearly
the different functions of the Red
Gross; for instance, this is what she
says about the Department of Civilian
Relief:
Perhaps it is not generally known
by persons not familiar with the work
that the Red Cross has department
Of civilian relief, with which the. de-
partment of military relief o-ordin-
ates and co-Operates. In other words
the Red Cross is responsible for relief
of all kinds for our own army and
navy and is chartered to take care
not only of the sick and wounded SOL
diers, but of all who need aid of any
sort. 1t is also required to take care
of and look after the dependent
families and children Of the mem bers
of the United States army and navy.
All over the country We are doing
civilian relief work.

MANY TEACHERS
attend MEETING

Faulkner county, which is said to
have a larger percentage of teachers
in its population than any other coun-
ty in the state, is almost depopu-
lated of members of that profession
today. 1t is estimated that the an
nual meeting of the State Teachers
Association at Little Rock will be at
tended by fully 800 from this county.
The Conway public schools and many
of the rural schools dismissed their
sessions for the remainder of the
week in order that the teachers might
attend, and while the colleges here
did not dismiss their sessions, mem
bers of the faculty and students were
given the privilege of attending the
association.
j. r. Anderson reports that the en-
tire teaching force of the negro school
here, as well as of several rural
schools, are attending the negro
oeachers' convention in Little Rock.
