Success in Canning.
Much of the success OF the can

rangement OF the preserve closet.
The position is an important matter.
II possible, the closet should face
north or west wall. never a south
or east window, for low tempera-
ture. maintained without special re-
frigeration. is essential. The shelves
of a model closet for preserves should
not be deeper than six or eight
inches. just wide enough for one row
of jars. When two or three rows
are placed on the shelf it necessi-
tates constant moving. No one needs
to be told that preserves should be
moved as little as possible after the
covers have been frightened.
1t is best to have adjustable shelves.
In this way one may economize space
ard utilize all there is without
crowding. Tack a sheet OF paper to
the inside of the fruit cupboard door.
On this write the number Of cans o.
each kind CT fruit you put away.
Keep q small pencil hanging at the

In the operation OF canning and pre-

getting ready, and this should begin In
advance Of tho actual canning day.
Kettles that have never been used for
any other purpose than preserving.
spoons, forks. knives. sl<immsrs, dip

strainers. scales. measures and all nee
essary implements should be in q state
OF perfect order and cleanliness. Have
enough suitable Jars. cans. glasses. etc.

wiping and handling utensils. The table
will be absolutely clean II several layers
Of newspapers are spread over 1t. II
there is any danger Of juice being drop
ped upon a good floor or linoleum, pa
pers may be spread down there also.
Canning may also be made use of
daily for temporary preservation Of
food, and it is especially valuable where
ice-chest facilities are not good. When
making soup stock. for instance. q large
quantity IL made as easily a. u small
quantity and the surplus may be pour
ed. while hot, into fruit Jars and sealed.
Cooked vegetables may be canned when
plentiful and cheap.

Labor Department. Issues
Figures Of Comparison With
Other Cities.

The following statement was issued
yesterday by the committee on public
information:
ICES the following:
TT Is not the desire Of the bureau
of labor statistics to defend prices
charged In Washington, but 1t does
wish to correct erroneous statements
which have been made concerning re-
tail prices of food in various cities OF
the United States. The impression
that the District Of Columbia leads
tho nation in prices Of meats and that
meats in thirty-nve other cities are
lower than here 10 misleading. a
proper explanation Of the figures COM
piled by the bureau is due both to the
merchants who send prices regularly
each month to the bureau and to the
District food administration for Its
work in stabilizing prices.
Higher in Other Cities.
Comparisons have been made of
April prices. The statement that
Washington is higher than any other
city in meats is not true. On April
Is Philadelphia was higher than
Washington on four out of the ave
cuts of beef for which prices are
collected by the bureau. New York
was higher on two Of the five beef
quotations. Baltimore was higher on
plate beef. Scranton was higher on
rib roast Prices in eight cities were
higher than Washington on sirloin
tAA L. aNt l.
steak; eleven cities higher on rib
roast: six cities higher on chuck
roast: eleven cities higher on plate
boiling beef: twenty-five cities high
er on sliced bacon and one city had
the same price; nine cities were high
on leg of lamb. and one had the same
price; twenty-one cities higher on
canned salmon. Only three out of the
forty-six cities were cheaper on all
meats than Washington.
out of the eight cited as Nbeing
cheaper than Washington on meats,
four of these-San Francisco, Los
Angeles. st. Louis and Chicago-sell
western meat and 1t is not fair to
compare these prices with those for
meats that are sold in the eastern
cities. The figures alone do not af-
different localities as grades of meat
on the market and methods of cutting
differ to quite an extent in different
parts of the country.
The statement was made that such
articles as round steak. eggs and po-
tatoes are from rs to 35 per cent
higher in Washington than in = ma
jority of the thirty-five cities In
April. ten cities out Of forty-six for
which prices are shown in the bureaus
report. had higher prices for potatoes.
and Ave cities had the same price as
Washington. Eleven cities were high
er in April for eggs than Washington
and seven cities had higher prices on
round steak than Washington.

Increase Of SO Per Cent.

Tn making tho comparison of the
price Of sirloin steak in Washington
in April. 1914. and April. 1918. the
statement has been made that the
price had nearly doubled. During the
period mentioned sirloin steak In
creased in Washington only SO per
cent.
Figures have Just been compiled
for fifty cities for June. 1918. These
figures show an increase for the
United States in all articles of food
in the five-year period June IS. 1913.
to June Is. 1918. of 66 per cent; in
the one-year period from June Is.
1917. to June Is. 1918, of per cent,
and in the one month from May IS to
June Is. 1918. Of 2 per cent.
'If prices in Washington on June
is were compared with other nearby
cities 1t shows that out Of the twen-
ty-eight articles of food shown by
the bureau prices were higher in
Philadelphia for ten articles than in
Washington; in New York prices
were higher for seven articles, in
Baltimore prices were higher for
four articles. in Scranton prices were
higher for eight articles. Below is
list of the articles higher in the
other cities than in Washington on
