CONCENTRATED
SOUP
VEGE:T ABLE

Any desired mixture of vegetables
may be canned for home use. A good
combination consists of one quart con-
centrated tomato pulp, one pint corn
OR tiny lima beans, one pint Okra, four
teaspOonfuls salt and sugar seasoning,
one small onion chopped, and half cup
full of chopped sweet red pepper.
Cook the tomatoes, pepper and onion;
put through a sieve to remove seeds
and skins. Return strained pulp to
kettle and cook down to about the con-
sistency of ketchup. Measure, add the
corn or beans and okra, which have
been prepared as for canning, add sea-
soning, and cook all together for ten
minutes. Pack hot into previously
boiled jars. Partially seal jars.
Processing with steam under pres
sure is recommended. Process quart
Jars 50 minutes under pressure Of ten
pounds. Seal Immediately, cool in
draft-free place, and when cold test
for leaks. Store in a cool, dark, dry
place.
If the intermittent boiling process is
used, boil for one hour on each Of
three successive days. Before each
subsequent boiling the covers must be
loosened, and after each boiling the
covers must be securely frightened
again to make sealing complete. Cool,
test for leaks, and store.
If the single-period continuous meth
cd is followed, place the jars in the
water bath and boil for at least two
hours. Seal completely, cool and test
for leaks, and store.-United States
Department of Agriculture.

Some steps in the procedure may
seem unnecessary to the amateur, but
the operations of blanching, boiling or
Steaming of jars, attention to rubber
rings, and final sealing have an impor-
rant function in aiding to kill molds,
yeasts, and bacteria and in preventing
their re-entry into the food.
Since all successful canning is de-
pendent upon sterilization by means Of
heat, it is most important to apply suf-
ficient heat to make the products ster-

they are sealed. Seal them tight while
they are still hot rom TIE bath. The

Cure for Dysentery.

awhile I was in Ashland, Kansas, g
gentleman overheard me speaking of Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy writes
William Whitelaw, of Des Moines, Iowa. "He
told me in detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his daughter who
was lying at the point of death with violent
attack Of dysentery, and had been given up by
the family physician. Some of his neighbors
advised him to give Chamberlain's Collie and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which he did, and fully be-
lieves that by doing so saved the life of his
child. He stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally gratifying re-
suits

seal is not perfect and there is the
slightest opening. Molds, yeasts, and
bacteria are likely to be carried in by
the air and the very things the con-
server tried to kill by heat and keep
out by sealing are present in the jars
and all effort and labor is lost.
Examine jars or cans carefully.
Throw aside bent lids, even if the low
er lip is dented only slightly. Discard
jars with faulty screw threads or I'M

Take no chances with leaks. Every
leaky container must be reprocessed
and sealed absolutely tight before it
