"A Lesson In Canning
By Mrs. Christine Frederick,

is a manufactured device where one
can or compartment is set down in
side of an outer one with q seal
Of water between. It has a Their
mometer attached and gives more
accurate results than the water
bath types. 1t comes in q small
home and a large club size.
STEAM-PRESSURE OUTFITS
In this kind the water or steam u
under pressure, and hence is able
to cook or sterilize much faster and
also more thoroughly. There is less
danger Of spoilage with foods
canned in a pressure OUTFIT than
with any other. It comes in the
familiar large pot" style with pres
sure gauge attached, or in a large
club size. 1t registers any pres
sure from FIVE to thirty pounds be-
ing used in most canning directions.
Each housekeeper has her prefer
ence as to jars, but there is much
to say in favor of the glass Jar
with separate glass top, fastening
with spring handle and using a
rubber ring between. The glass Jar
using a composition metal top
which must be renewed each year
is the most expensive, as the tops
alone cost about thirty cents per
dozen and the jar cannot be used
with any other top. The old Mason
Jar is poor, because when pried
open with a can-opener or other
sharp object the cap may be dented
and thus made unfit for second use.
Before commencing canning learn
the directions for the food you wish
to can by heart; or, better still,
paste them on a card and hang the
card at eye-level on the kitchen
wall. There is an excellent can
ming chart now published, which
by turn of small wheel of card.
board will at once show complete
canning directions for any food.
The use of books or leaflets around
the canning table is not advisable.

-rHIS year there is even more
interest in canning than In
the previous war years.
Many women who took up the home
preservation of food largely as
patriotic duty have become perma-
nent canning enthusiasts because
they have found canning so simple.
1t il no longer necessary to stand
hours In steaming kitchen to do
canning. Modern equipment and
methods have shown better. easier
ways.
Everybody who cans should thor
oughly understand the cold pack
method. This is the one used by
all Government experts. In this
method only one sterilization period
is required. The foods are packed
cold into the jars and the entire
sterilization done in the jars. The
time required is much less than in
other methods.
The term "blanch" describes the
process employed in this method Of
canning to shrink the bulk and re-
move some Of the excess acids and
Gavors Of coarse vegetables and
fruits and start the flow of color
ing matter.
The term cold dip" means the
plunging of the foods into cold
water for a, few moments immedi-
ately after the "blanch." The OBJ
1ect Is to make the foods firm, to
hold their shape and to stop the
color matter from flowing, so that
the food will retain its natural ap.
pearance.
The following are the three chief
types of appliances used for can.

IAN you tell me what causes
~ little moles to appear con.
tinually on ones face and how to
remove them?-AMY,
An hereditary predisposition for
them. or an accidental abrasion.
and even irritation of the skin will
sometimes induce their growth.
Every mole must be treated accord
ing to its specific character, but the
majority of these blemishes are in
the nature of a permanent birth
mark and should not be tampered
with. When they are constantly
appearing, as in your case, the cleo
trio needle in the hands of a reli-
able physician will be found the
safest and most effective remedy.
yYIILL you kindly tell me II
w there is any way by which

Occasionally it is possible to re-
duce the excessive thickness of thu
lips by rubbing them with tannQn
OF some other astringent lotion.
me texture Of the lips is so deli
cate, however, that such substances
are best applied in the form or 4

thought at all to Julia's pain. Tonight
the tables were exactly reversed, and
the happiness of four people depended
upon Dan Carson's response to Julia s
silent appeal. She was not asking for
her release; she was only praying that
he would give it. She was not seeking
to break her promise. Only Lucy's con
fession had led her to tell Dan the
truth. And IL back of her wish to make
Lucy happy there was the gimmer of
hope that some day she, too, might
find her hearts desire. no one in the
world can say that Julia Grant was
any the less a wonderful woman for that
fact.
Outside in the hall the big clock
licked solemnly. Time was going on.
and here in this room there was the
tragedy of human hearts. Julia's heart
sounded in her ears she was waiting,
waiting for Dams answer.
Then he gave it to her. He caught
her close to him and laughed as her
head fell back on his shoulder.
"I'll never let you go, never" he
said between kisses that left her with
q feeling that was near to loathing.
"In just few days you'll be mine and
no man is going to take you away from
me now or ever"
With those words the little glimmer
of hope in Julia's heart died.

early days Of the struggle he caused
some adverse comment in Germany by
issuing a pastoral letter directing that
petition for peace be included in the
prayers Of Catholics. In the latter part
of 1915 he was sent to Rome by
Emperor William on a mission TO the
pope that was supposed to have peace
for its object.
There is neat little story told of
the meeting of the German cardinal
and Cardinal Mercier in Rome in 1914
at the time of the conclave that elect
ed Benedict XIV. Cardinal won Hart
mann approached the Belgian primate
with the remark: 1--WE will not talk of
war, your eminence," to which Car
dinal Mercier rejoined, "Neither will
we talk of peace, your emnence.''
In 1916 Cardinal Won Hartmann was
a leader Of the Pan -Germanists. and
when on a visit to the western front
he assured the emperor all Catholic
soldiers we're ready for further sacri-
fees. In May. 1918, in response to
Cardinal Won Hartmann s request that
the Allies refrain from air attacks on
Cologne on Corpus Christi day, the
city was not molested.
Cardinal Won Hartmann was born
in Muenster, Westphalia, December

May 20, 1914 and in January, 1915,
was appointed a member of the Prus-
