SUBSTITUTE FOR
TIN CANS,

The demand for "Ieady-tO.eat"
foods, such as baked pork and
beans, spaghetti, ETC., with the
simple direction "Heat and serve,'
represents the largest factor In
the increased use of tin cans.
These foods must bs prOcessed ID
the containers At or above the
tenn perature Of boiling water, and
no substitute for tin has been
found that satisfactorily meets
these conditions. However, q
great economy in tin can be at
fected by homo cooking of such
products during the present short
age.
Fiber containers are recon
mended for the distribution by
the retailer lof many foodstuffs,
including milk, cream, butternilk,
ice cream, oysters, sirups, marsh
mallow creams. dried fruits, pre-
serves, jelliss, mincemeat, horse.
radish, relishes, pickles, deviIed
ham and chicken, vinegar, dry
and prepared mustard, soda wa
ter, salads, sauerkraut, and olives.
It is claimed that dry food pro.
ducts such a. coffee, tea, alum,
baking powder, spices, raisiDs,
and prunes may be successfully
packed by producers and manu-
faoturers in paper or fiber con
tanners. For some Of those pro.
ducts, bags lined with tlnfoil have
been in successful use for 10
years or more and they form an
attractive package that 10 said to
be moisture proof.
Other commodities usually pack
ed in tin could be marketed az
we'll in paper or fiber, with the
advantage Of lower cost. Among
these tobacco occupies q conspicu.
Gus position, and other articles
are lye, cleansers, soap powders,
shoe polishes, metal polishes,
soaps and shaving preparations
toilet articles, such an talcun
powder, and vsr,ous dry drugt
and chemicals. Paper contaiDer'
are also suggssted for preserved
fruits and jellies made at home
Cloth sacks for tobacco aud wood
for sirups and molasses are alst
recommended where retail sale,
can be made IN bulk.
For packers Of dry product'
who are opposed to the adoption
OF fiber containers because of tb'
good will built up upon the styl'
and shape Of tin container. Abe
containers having a tin top aDt
bottom are available. These con
tainers, when labeled, have tb'
appearance Of all tin cans, and ar
almost as serviceable.
Purchasers Of large quantitie
Of foodstuffs, such as hotels, res
taurants, and boarding houses
can also contribute directly to th
tin saving campaign by buyiDI
supplies in large cans instead o
small ones. In addition to aidin
in tin conservation, they will tim
| get the supplies At . lower rate
