HOW TO CAN
Sweet Corn.

Successful home canning of sweet
corn depends upon careful selection
of tender, juicy corn in the milk
stage Corn for canning should
never stand longer than a few min
utes after being taken from the
stalk. Corn which is past the milky
stage or is stale is very difficult TO
can.
Remove husk and silk. Blanch on
the cob by dipping into boiling wa
ter from one to three minutes or
until milk is set Have clean hands
and all utensils scalded. Cut corn
off the cob. Pack Immediately into
previously boiled jars to within one
inch of the top, but do not pack too
lightly. Add seasoning (one-third
level teaspoonful salt and two
thirds teaspoonful sugar. to each
pint of corn, and fill Jars with clear
hot water. Paddle to allow liquor
to penetrate to the bottom of the
jar, and to remove all air bubbles.
Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under
pressure is recommended. Process
pint jars IA hours at Is pounds
pressure Seal Immediately, cool
as rapidly as possible, but do so in
place free from drafts. Do not
put into cold water, as the jars will
crack. When cool, test for leaks
and store in a cool, dark, dry place
If the intermittent process is
used, boil pint jars ~ hours the
first day and 1 hour on the second
and third days. Loosen covers be-
fore each subsequent boiling, and
seal completely after boiling. Cool,
test for leaks, and store.
If the single-period continuous
boiling process is employed, boil for
at least three hours. Seal, cool,
test for leaks. and store
Take every precautiOn to have
good rubbers and absolutely tight
Jars. Test for leaks each time jars
become cold and again "a hours
after processing. All jars showing
slightest sign of leaks must be re-
fitted with rubbers and reprocessed.
Usually a better-favOred finished
corn product can be obtained by
drying the corn instead of canning
it.-United States Department of
Agriculture.

If your mother were physically
brutal you would have grounds for
leaving home but since you are well
provided for and your mothers
abuse is a matter of words, you
will have to live at home until you
are of age. Then, if you can, live
with relatives or at the Young
Women's Christian association.
Some time when your father has
just had his dinner and is in a good

are and see if he can't do some
thing to make your home life hap

band is in France and l have been
working some. Last week mar
ried man working in the same place
was talking to me. l did not ike
to have him approach me, and l
told him so. He said he loved me
better than he did his wife. / told
him he should be ashamed of him
self for thinking of me in that way
and he should love his wife, for /
loved my husband and was going
tC be true to him.
He sent a note by dear friend
of mine and | told her If she was
the kind of a girl to want me to go
with men while married l did not
care for her friendship. Did l do
right in both cases?
BROWN EYED b.
You did right in both cases. If
the man continues to annoy you,
tell him that you will report him to
his employer. Then if he does not
behave himself carry out your
threat. It would also be well to
have your father Cif you have a
father living) warn him not to an
hoy you again.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. ~ When
young lady refuses the company
of a young gentleman and he in
sists upon knowing why, how
should she answer him?
90 Is it all right for a young
man to teach the lady with whom
he is going to swim in a public
swimming pool? CURLY.
% If there is no reason why he
should not know, she should tel
him. But if she has a good rea-
son for not saying why" she
should ask him not to question her
further, and to consider her re-
fusal sufficient.
~ If the girl is well acquaint-
ed with the boy and knows him to
be of good character and if her
parents approve, it is all right.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have a
brother in the service of the mer-
chant marine. Am | entitled to
wear service pin? CURIOUS.
Yes.
