GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
by Henrietta GraueI.
THE COLD PACK PROCESS.

Canning lessons gwen ~ pupils IN do
nestle science schools Throughout the
country arc so practical. that they enable
very Young. inexperienced girls and set
in-their-ways, stuck ln-a-rut house
keepers to can any food quickly and
satisfactorily
By the cold pack method, vegetables,
soup, fish, meats aud combinations OF
foods and fruits and tomatoes and other
things bard TO keep may be canned and
kept rs long rs more easily preserved
things have been.
II = never practical TO ran Some foods
that can be dried or preserved ~ other
WAYS than by canning Especially Is this
the case now, when fuel. sugar and oven
containers are not easily secured
In canning. cleanliness Is the first con
sidrratlon; the food will he cleaned, of
course, but clean hands. sterilzed nfen-
sis plenty Of hot and cold soft water and
fresh cloths and towels, should DC pro
Vidcd
When the materials and tho goods 70
be canned arc all clean and ready, you can
proceed to the actual work. Tins may tT
divided INTO five steps scaldlnR or
blanching, cold dipping, packing, process
ing and sealing. With soft fruits, the
hlanching is omitted
Greens and small things should be
blanchcd by tying them loosely IN a
chcesccloth and dipping them into boil
ing water Wire baskets, called dipping
baskets, are sold for this, also The
blanchlng should take from one 10 fifteen
minutes, according TO the tenderness OF
the product you are handling. Nhen the
food is taken from the boiling water,
plunge it, still in the bag or basket. INTO
cold water, then drain
Tiavc steriized jars waiting N hot
water. Pack the food into the Jars a. soon
ms possible after cold dipping. Add hot
syrup to fruits and hot salted water to
vegetables Put the scalded new rubbers
in place, screw on the tops loosely, and the
food is ready for processing,
To process, place the tllled Jars IN Q
water bath, a pressure cooker, steam
Gamer, or whatever device you u>e 70
secure sufficient heat To sterlllze the foods
in the Jars 1t is not practicable TO give
a time table for the processing, as various
containers require longer, or shorter, time
will be glad 10 send a time table TO any
one needing it, but it is too long TO publish
here
When the processing is done, while the
containers are still hot fasten the hds
down tight Place the jars up lde down
on trays and watch them closely while
they cool for leaks Do not cool the jar,
in IA draught Tin cans may he cooled by
plunging them into cold water
Jars containing Strawberries, cherries
beets and such things as have 4 bright
lovely color, should be wrapped IN papel
before they are finally put away for, The
light beaches and sometimes darken,
canned food
Tomorrow We will discuss this methoo
further. and talk little about the merit
of the various containers.

COAL RATION FIXED
BY SCIENTIFIC METHOD
Only Enough to Heat Home to 68
Degrees Will be the Winters
Fuel Allowance.

Washington, D c.. July S-Ration-
ing OF coal to householders was announced
tonight by the Fuel Administration as
among plans designed to prevent a threat
ened shortage Of coal next winter
Zach domestic consumer will be al
lowed only as much coal as Is found to
be scientifically necessary to heat ms
house to IS degrees, provided every con-
servation rule has been obeyed. The al
lowance for each householder, the an
nouncernenI said. will be sufficient for
comfort. bui the thoughtless and waste
full consumer who finds his allowance
gone before the end Of the winter will
have only himself TO thank If he has no
coal with which TO heat his house
The Administration plan involves a
department Of coal allotments in con-
nection with each local Fuel AdmInistra-
tors office. and this system now has been
completed and will be put into operation
al once. Each order for coal will be
censored by comparison with the rating
Of the house where the coal Is TO be
used all doubtful cases will be carefully
checked up by inspecting the house in
question and surplus coal when ordered
Will be refused.
This system. said the Administra-
tons statement will be drastic and
will introduce conditions new 10 the
country; it will be no more drastic, how
ever, than conditions demand in the IN
terest of all concerned No one will be
deprived Of coal actually needed for heat
ing. but no one Will be allowed fuel for
waste or extravaganza
THE Fuel Administration expects
every one TO recognize the necessity and
the reason for this supervision and TO CO
operate fully with the local committees
with carrying out the plan.

from nearly every organization IN camp.
The Protestant Episcopal Church Is
giving a practical demonstration that
''cleanine is next To goodness. In
their soldiers club, adjoining StGeorge
Church. at Pointville, they have butt

showers have become one OF the most

Camp Dix has made another stride
toward a finer democracy Of the National
Army by recognizing the elimination OF
the social distinctions that In the old army
formed barrier like barhed wire between
the enliste personnel and commissioned
officers Time was when the private or
non-commisSioncd officer who csSayea 10
