high cost of living.
Prices Of foodstuffs are not likely
to reach the pre-war level immediate
ly. In the meantime, thrift must be
practiced and as much food as possi-
BILE must be produced in the home. A
few hours spent in canning will re-
suit in shelves full of canned fruits
and vegetables, which should cost
even less than those bought before the
war.
COOked-in-the.Can Method Favored.
The main reason why home canning
will stay in favor is that the cook-in-
the-can method, which has been used
extensively the last few years, has
been found by many to be more sat
isfactory than the old open-kettle way
of canning.

home canning had been of the kind

HOME CANNING TO STAY:
MEANS CHEAPER FOODS

BACKYARD gardening and home can
nlng received mighty impetus last
year when Uncle Sam asked the Amer
lean people to produce and conserve
more. Thousands of men who preyi-
ously had believed that it was the
farmers and market gardeners busi-
ness to supply the world with food
began to spade UP their back lawns.

where the fruit or vegetable was cook
ed in the kettle and put in the jar
while hot. Large numbers of house
keepers, after repeated failures with
this method, gave up canning alto
gether. The contents of too many
jars spoiled for it to be economical,
and the task was hot and sticky. To
these housewives the newer way, by
which the fruit or vegetable is put
into the jar cold and then the jar and
contents processed, has proved a real
boon. With the cooked in the kettle
method, Gamers found that few vege
tables, excepting the acid ones, would
keep. Cooked in the can, according
to directions, vegetables keep well.
Small Loss in Canning.
With this method of canning, which
is recommended by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, the fruit or vege-
table is made ready and placed cold in
jar Sailed water or sirup is added
and the jar and it's contents are pro-
cessed (heated) in steam or boiling
water. Any kitchen has the absolute
ly necessary equipment, and if direc-
tions are followed carefully the re-
suit is high grade product which will
keep with small percentage of loss.
Fruit and vegetables are necessary
in the diet for good health. A garden
will provide plenty of this type of
food during the summer months, and
canning, drying, and brining will con-
serve supply for use during the sea-
son of nonlproduction.

TEACH CHICKS TO GO TO BED
Mites Killed by Painting Houses With
Crude Oh.

Where large number of chicks are
being raised in one brooded house, diff
ficulty is often experienced in pre-
venting the birds from piling up at
night after the heat is removed, and
causing serious losses, says T. S.
Townsley of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture.
To prevent this overcrowding the
birds should be taught to roost as
early as possible. If roosts are made
Of by 8 inch strips placed fiat twelve
to fifteen inches from the floor, the
birds can easily be taught to go to
roost. If the chicks do not go up
on their own accord, they should be
gently placed on the roosts after dark
for one or two nights until they get
the roosting habit.
This season of the year a constant
lookout should be kept by all poultry
keepers for mites in the houses and
cOOps. Mites are very small and diff
'fcult to see unless special search is
made. They are usually found in
cracks near the roosts. They appear
| as minute gray or reddish specks.
When present in large numbers they
| often have the appearance of dust.
Mites reproduce rapidly. The mite
live by sucking blood from the hens.
A severe attack of mites will cause the
hens to lose flesh and stop laying, and
will often cause death. To get rid
of mites the houses must be carefully
cleaned and then painted or sprayed.
A heavy spraying of coal oil followed
in two or three days by thorough
painting with crude oil will clean up
the mites and keep the houses free
for several months. This treatment
should be applied twice yearly to all
poultry houses as va precautionary
measure.

GERMANY IS FACING
SEVERE COAL FAMINE
Berlin Officials Say Serious
Shortage Is Likely This
Winter.
NINE STRIKES HURT
Fuel Deliveries to France
Make Problem More
Difficult.
NINE STRIKES HURT
BY CARL D. GROAT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Aug. II (by maiD Ger
man officialdom sees ahead the spec
ter of serious coal shortage.
Just as all Europe has suffered,
and will suffer again the coming win
ter, because of lowered coal output. SO
Germany anticipates that she faces a
serious problem in supplying indus
tries, railroads, gas works, and homes
with sufficient coal.
Recently the economic ministry and
officials of the states have come to-
gether to consider the outlook. The
first result of their deliberations was
to let the public know that the situa-
ton is thoroughly serious.
For the first five months of the year
the German coal production ran only
so per cent as much as in the same
period year ago. And, in addition
to this fact, she had no surplus from
the previous year, and during June
and July had to contend with railroad
strikes which seriously hampered
coal deliveries. From time to time,
there have been mine strikes, and on
the whole there is a lowered morale
and a decreased staff in the coal in
dustry.
At present, the railroads and gas
works are living from hand to mouth
rs regards their supply of Goals. In
these circumstances, and with only
slight prospect that coal production
the remainder of the year can be
speeded up, the officials felt that the
prospects for winter are indeed du-
bious.
Moreover, the fact that the Peace
Treaty calls for abandonment of GER
tain coal territory and for certain
coal deliveries to France makes the
problem, as far as Germany is con-
cerned, one of increased difficulty.
Officials predict that industry will
not reach anything like normal rate
of production until well into nexi
year, if then, unless a far larger coal
supply can be turned out.
While Frances coal production fell
off because of ruined mines and de.
creased labor power, Germany's pro-
duction has been decreasing through
decreased labor power and through
lessened morale There has been mucl
dissatisfaction among the miners, an(
their demands earlier in the year re
quired shorter hours and more pay
With the coming of winter, transpor
tation naturally will be worse than i
is now, so that Germany's problem a
present is to get her mines going a.
fully as possible and to repair he

get as much coal out as possible be

sure, in many American homes il
was the son or daughter who attended
to the canning, drying, preserving and
picking. The woman who thought
canning was old fashioned suddenly
awoke to the fact that she herself was
out of date.
Home Canning Back to Stay.
Thousands of American women
canned fruits and vegetables for the
first time last year because they want
ed to do their part toward winning
the war. The war is won, but as
much or more canning will be done
this year. Families that enjoyed
home-canned garden products last
winter are not enthusiastic over re-
turn to the grocery store variety.
Commercial canneries have an impor-
tant place in the American economic
world, but the average commercially
prepared product does not equal in
flavor the best home canned fruits
and vegetables.
Financially the woman who canned
felt she was we'll repaid, for she saved
the cost of labor which canned the
store product as well as the profit the
Gamer, middleman and grocer made
A short while ago this saving would
have seemed of little moment but the
American people have learned thrift
the last year or two. With every com
modify advancing in price, ways o
economizing are receiving much at
tention. Home canning is one of thu
most popular methods of reducing tn,
