Canning and Drying
the Roots and
Tubers
Carrots, Peas, Twnips and Parsnips

TIME method of preparation as we'll as
the canning of the root and tulser vege-
tables such as carrots, parsnips, beets
and turnips are the same in all cases. After
washing the vegetables thoroughly blanch in
boiling water long enough to loosen the skin.
The time ordinarily required is only FIVE
minutes. However, if the vegetable is very
young and tender less time is required, and
if it is old and has tough skin 10 to Is
minutes may be necessary
After blanching, plunge the vegetable into
cold water and pare or scrape off the skin.
Pack in hot sterilized jar, in slices or whole,
add one teaspoonful of salt to each quart Jar,
adjust the rubber ring add boiling water to
overhowing. Run silver knife down the in
side of the jar to let all air bubbles escape.
Cover and partially SEAL Lower lar into boil
ing water and boil for ninety minutes. Have
water two inches above top Of jar and keep
1t boiling throughout the process. II water
seal outfit is used, eighty minutes will be
sufiicient, while with five pounds steam press
ure one hour will do. When sterilizcd. COM
piete the seal, invert to test for leakage, cool
and wrap to prevent fading before storage
Special Treatment of Beets
10 prevent the fading of beets and loss
OF juices leave one inch of the stem and all
of the tail on the vegetable during the
bianching, and do not peel but scrape the
skis when removing them. Pack whole il
possible The small beets are best for cam
ming because they fade less, and also because
they are easier to pack. Beets that fade
slightly during the processing will regain most
of their color within few days after canning.
Drying Beets
Boil with the skins on until nearly done.
then dip in cold water and scrape of the
skins. Slice an eighth Of an inch thick and
dry In single layers. Start drying at 40
degrees Fahrenheit, and gradually raise tho
temperature to $50 degrees Fahrenheit. It
viii require 2H to 3h hours to dry beets
until they are leathery and no water can be
squeezed from the freshly cut surface. "Con-
dition" the dried product by putting the beets
In containers and pouring them from one to
the other twice day for three days This
lnsures uniformly dried product which may
then be stored in insect and dustpreof fibre
containers or paraffn bags.

By EMMA GARY WALLACE

SUPPOSE so1ae day there should be ring
- at your bell and an official gentleman,
armed with a powerful magnifying glass,
should appear, show his badge and say,
Madam, have come from the powers that
be- to examine your refrigerator. 1t is my
duty to discover whether there are any germs
lodged in the corners or crevices which are
liable to cause sickness in your family and per-
haps start epidemic in the neighborhood."
Would you feel Indignant or would you smile
and feel perfectly safe to say, "Why certainly,

lceboxes for Bachelors

For the person living in small bachelor
apartment or in "rooms" where there is no
space for regular refrigerator, yet it is de-
sired to be able to keep some foods cold, the
nursery refrigerator answers the purpose very
satisfactorily. 1t is a rectangular all-metal
box, closely resembling the familiar bread box,
even to the extent of having lift cover rhe
inside is divided into two separate compart-
ments. That designed to contain the ice is
fitted with a perforated rack upon which the
ice rests and faucet at the front for con-
veniently drawing off the ice water. The other
compartment for food storage is provided with
a removable and sliding shelf, thus increasing
its capacity. This refrigerator is made in
three sizes, the dimensions ranging from 16

peratures below SO degrees F. throughout the
entire food compartment, with the room tenn
perature averaging 20 degrees F. At the
same time the ice consumption for box of
125-150 pounds ice capacity will range between
eighteen and twenty-four pounds daily This
means an ice chamber ID by 145a by Is inches,
or 157b by 16 by % inches for $50 pounds.
The Bohn Syphon Refrigerator differs from
other side-icer boxes in that the partition be-
tween the ice chamber and the food compart-
ment- is a shutter-like arrangement, consisting
Of triangular shaped Stats which offer num-
Der OF paths for the air to pass into the ice
chamber, thereby increasing the circulation
and lowering the temperature. With this
form Of construction, it is essential to keep the
ice chamber we'll filled in order to derive the
maximum efficiency, since the air will not cir
culate any higher than the top of the ice. In
deed, with any refrigerator it is an economy
always to have a well filled ice chamber

DOCTORS SAY CALOMEL
 IS BEST MEDICINE

Acording to the worlds greatest physicians and medical experts, calo- mel is the best and most universally useful of all medicines. Medical au- thorities prescribe calomel for almost every disease and explain that it is the best and surest of all system purifiers. They say that calomel cleanses the liver, stomach, bowels and kidneys and purifies the blood from all poisons, making the system pure and clean so that nature can quickly restore the health.
 Now that science has purified calo- mel of all its nauseating and danger ols qualities. the new kind of calomel called "Calotabs," is even more popu- lar than the old As a liver cleanser and system purifier Calotabs are more effective than the old style calomel, yet are entirely delightfully."- in effect. One Calotab at bedtime. with swal- low of water-that's all. No nausea nor the slightest unpleasantness. Next nSrnang you Dwake feeling fine, with hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat what you please and go where you please-there is no restriction of habit or diet.
 Calotabs are sold only in original, sealed packages, price thirty-five cents. Your druggist recommends and guarantees Calotabs, and will refund your money if you are not delighted with them.-(Advt.)

u. S. Officers Get information From

Fight With Fists.

With the American Army in France
Feb. 4.-Documents said to have been
taken from Germans opposite our po
sitions and which deal with the treat
ment TO he accorded prisoners, have
come into the possession of American
officers.
To Be Starved In Cages.
The documents say that all prison.
ers, including commissioned and non.
commissioned officers, after being
captured. are to be kept in cages for
four days without food and compelled
to stand all the time. After the four.
day period only small quantities OF
food are to be given.
Although definite information OF
the point is lacking, some American
officers expressed the belief that the
order resulted from the difficulties the
Germans probably experienced in en-
tracing information from the first Am
erican prisoners captured in Novem.
Der. Such treatment of prisoners, it
Is felt. could be designed only TO
make them give UP military informa-
tion.

SECRETARY BIRDS.

"Come. come" said the secretary
bird whose name was Jim, and the
one named Joe. answered,
81 am coming"
Now the reason the secretary birds
are given such a strange family name
is because their long cockades of feath-
ers which drop back from either side
of their heads and which are black, are
supposed to be like quill pens. In
oIden times and sometimes nowadays,
quill pens are used for writing letters.
They are supposed to look like q clerk
or secretary who uses these pens I'm
writing. And so these birds. having
similar quilts, have been named the
secretary birds.
Are you raady" asked Jim.
Again Joe answered. Yes, / told you
i was coming"
"Don't be cross" said Jim. "If you
are I won't show you the place ] had
in mind for our hunting trip today. 1
don't have to. l was going to because.
I am kind and generous"
kind and generous" laughed Joe
and his voice was a very harsh one. II
don't believe the snakes and frogs and
birds think you are kind and gener-
GUS"
"They don't think you are kind Ell
ther,' said jim, $50 there is no reason
for you TO say such a thing to me-"
The secretary birds are rather harsh
and cruel in any case, and they have
many of the same qualities Of char
acter which the hawks have.
They always swallow their food
whole, without chewing it in the least
And yet they never have indigestion :
