UTENSILS FOR PREPARATION
OF PRODUCT, BLANCHING
AND COLD DIPPING
By ANNE LEWIS PIERCE
Director, The Tribune Institute
<fT~HE lahorer is worthy Of his hire" and
I the workman has right to the tools

<fTNHE lahorer is worthy Of his hire and
the workman has right to the tools
of his trade. The Israelites, though
they had suffered many other things with
patience, revoted when called on to make
bricks without straw. Women are always
trying to do that very thing. In no house
hold operation the appropriate tools more
necessary, time saving, and more
effective than in canning. The process is
practically the same for all products, but calls
for a swift, careful repetition of certain simple
operations under conditions of laboratory
cleanliness and precsion-and the utensils
used, the tools for preparation of vegetables
and fruits, and their arrangement, all mean
much in the saving both of time and of foods
For instance: Is there any task more labor
ious and tine-consuning than pitting cherries
by hand? Why do it when there are two ma
chimes at moderate COST into which you can
feed the cherries as rapidly as possible, turn
a crank, and have the cherry drop out one side
and the stone the other? This isn't only saw
ing ones time: it means that you can put up
more if the labor is decreased the product is
fresher. and you can get your fruit into the
professor and be about something else while
it boils and then you can fill your Gamer over
again.
A simple trick like bending tablespoon at
right angles to the handle means that you
fill more rapidly, spill less, and have
just the right implement for pressing down
the food in the jar and so insuring a tight
pack. This saves jars and your product looks
better.
A small knife that just fits in the palm Of
the hand is comfort in peelng many vege-
tables, and curved blade simplifes pulping
grapefruits and oranges. Any woman who
has dived into steaming clothes boiler
after hot, wet, slippery, heavy jar of fruit
knows that reliable litter, one that never
slips and calls for the least strength, pays for
itself the first day of canning and earns all
sorts of compound interest before the summer
is over, not only in strength saved and ner-
vous strain avoided, but in actual jars res
cued from slipping, breaking and wasting the
precious contents.
The jar holders with high balls that come
above the boiling water are very convenient,
but of course if many jars are being processed
at once this way out Of the difficulty is more
expensive than the Of single litter.
pineapple eyer, an apple corer, jar opener,
are all minor devices that conserve ones hands,
ones temper and ones time.
When it comes to making jellies, or fruit
juices, small fruit press is q great boon,
giving more economical and rapid results and
preventing the staining of the hands There
are two types, the pressure plate and the
scroll model which is related to a food chopper
and works in the way. Both kinds clamp
to the kitchen table and are operated by hand
but with little effort.
good scale is the friend of every careful
housekeeper, but in preserving time it is

Strawberry Jelly

In making strawberry jelly it is necessary
TO nave some of the pectn supplied by other
juices, because strawberry juice contains verv
little of this jelly-making substance. Apple
juice is very often used with the Strawberries
Inc proportions are two parts of medium riue
apple juice to one part of strawberry Juice.
Add three cupsful of the combined Juices and
stir over fire until the sugar has all dis
solved Then boil rapidly for several min
utes until the liquid responds to the "two drop"
test (when two thick drops fall from side Of
spoon at the same time) Pour into hot iellv
glasses, and when cool cover with paraf6n.
Currants are often combined with the straw
berries to make the jelly using two quarts
OF currants with ten quarts of Strawberries.

ALLIED NATIONS
MUST HAVE FOOD
SAYS OFFICIAL

"A study OF the map of war torn
Europe is convincing that much food
must be sent over there until next
harvest at least" said Philip E. Stew
art Monday. He spent the day in
Albuquerque in conference with food
administration officials, county food
administrators and women conserva-
ton leaders in New Mexico
Mr.. Stewart came as the repre-
sentative of Herbert Hoover to lay
before this conference the facts as far
as known of food conditions in Eu-
rope and explain the purpose of world
relief week, December IL.
There are five great groups Of
people IN Europe--all told nearly
800 600 men, women and children
that must have food; the great al
lies, the smaller allies, the neutrals,
the uncertain countries and the enemy
countries Mr. Stewart continued.
Tho great allies England France
and Italy-with 126,00O,O00 people
must be supplied much food The
smaller allies--Belgium, Serbia, Be-
hemia, JCzecho- Slovaks, Hugo Slavs,
Poland, Greece, Rumania and Portu-
gal, with their 75,000.000 people de-
mand the greatest and most immedi-
ate attention. Here the danger of
famine and anarchy lies They must
be provided for and will be.
THE neutrals-Holand Norway,
Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland and
Spain,-with 100000 people must
be fed. The raising OF the blockade
will, of course. in a large measure
solve their problem.
THE uncertain group-Finland,
north and south Russia and the Bal
tic provinces--with S3,0Q0,000 people
is in a critical condition, Details, now
lacking, will be at hand IN the near
future
The enemy Group-Germany, Hun
gary, German Austria and Bulgaria
with 90,000,000 people, presents diff
ficult problem that must await fur
Their information, especially concern
ing Germany. The others must be
considered for early relief to prevent
famine and anarchy,
America is today the worlds real
food reservoir. True, there is wheat
in Australia, India and Argentina and
sugar I'M Java. but they are far afield
and shipping will still be limited while
the great armies are going back
home
Herbert Hoover IS overseas get
ting first hand information before
formulating the program for world
relief This may be announced in the
near future It is my opinion that
America must be frugal to save Eu-
rope from famine and anarchy
