UNCLE SANS ADVICE
ON CANNING
STRING BEANS


String beans for canning should
be tender and fresh. When the
beans within the pod have grown
to any size canning is more diff
cult and the finished product is of
poorer quality. The refugee is a
good variety for canning. Use only
well sorted, small, tender beans.
Wash and pick over the beans.
String the beans and cut them into
two-inch lengths. Cutting diago-
nally or con the bias" gives a pretty
product. If desired they can be
canned whole and packed log cabin
fashion in square Jars.
After the beans are prepared
blanch by placing in a cheesecloth
bag in boiling water for from three
to eight minutes, according to the
age and size of the beans. Blanch
only until the pods will bend with
out breaking, then plunge the hot
beans into cold salt water Zone
tablespoon salt to one quart water)
for an instant. Drain well, pack
quickly and cover with hot brine
1.-TWO and a half ounces of salt to
one gallon of boiling water.) Par
tally seal Jars.
Processing with steam under
pressure is recommended. Process
pints 45 minutes under pressure of
10 pounds. Seal Immediately, cool
in draft-free place. When cold
test for leaks and store in a cool,
dark, dry place. ~
If the intermittent boiling process
is used boil for 90 minutes on the
first day and 60 minutes ON the sec
ond and third days. Before each
subsequent boiling the covers must
be loosened and after each boiling
the covers must be securely tight
ened to make sealing complete. Cool,
test and store.
If single period boiling process
is used place jars in the -eanner and
boil for at least three hours. Seal,
cool, test store.

IMMENSE STORES NEEDED TO
FEED MEN ON TRANSPORTS

An account of how soldiers are
fed at sea is given in the daily
newspaper published on a trans
port:
"Outside Of providing 100000
meals at sea, the mess officer of
the ship has very little to do. Very
little.
ole is only called upon to pro-
vide, by the regulations, $50 differ
ent varieties of food. That's all.
Ever try to order $50 different
things to eatf Yet this is the au-
thentic list.
"The food needed to feed several
thousand men at sea ranges beyond
the glutton's dream. You get the
answer in the ship down below the
water line, where 1920 loaves of
bread have been baked in one day,
and where You stumble over every
variety, from 10000 pounds of
beef to $4,000 eggs or a eompart-
ment Of brick ice cream in 10
above-zero vault.
"And if this doesn't suit, you can
bump along into 1924 pounds of
potatoes, 400 pounds of ham and
bacon, 1900 pounds of butter, 5000
pounds of sugar, and $500 pounds
of flour.
'1f you can't get a meal out. of
this you can still fall back on 1900
pounds of sausage, 3,40O pounds of
sauerkraut, 10000 pounds of APP
Piles, 1880 pounds of oranges, and
4, 200 pounds of onions. And this
leaves out 1000 pounds of jam and

A New York magistrate, after lis
tening TO the complaint of a wife
against a tightwad husband, who re-
fused to give her enough money on
which TO run the house, advised wOm-
en- to take the law in their own hands
and use the one-two punch. He fur
ther remarked that rolling pins, knit
ting needles and fiatirons were obsolete
and had no effect on nickel-nurSing hus-
bands. Tears were entirely out of the
question. This fourth wise man as
serted that nothing annoys men so
much as bare knuck1es maSSaging their
chins or the force of the right arm sunk
into their tummies. AS far as he is
concerned, women may use the old one
two without mourning his disfavOr,
which is a double punch, left to the
jaw followed by a smashing right to
the tummy. So therefore, husbands, be-
ware.

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours ior the past four or
Eve months penned up within the walls
Of house, factory or Office. It is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one. as you
can get at any drug, store, made up of
