Owls THE TIME TO PUT UP MATOES-WOl
MRS. WILSON GIVES DIRECTIONS
FOR CANNING FRESH TOMA TOES
This Vegetable Hare Utensils in Good Order Before
Starting Preserving Recipes for Canning With Corn
Pulp a Italian Paste
Ry MRS. M. 4. WILSON
iCopvyight, 1919. by Mrs. ". 4. wilson,
An Rights RCSCrrri.l

To make canned tomatoes by this
process is to have very fine product
of surprisingly good flavor and APP
rearance. The whole tomatoes in
the can can be used for frying.
Fancy Tomato Packing-Tomatoes
and Corn
Scald and cold dip onc-half basket
of tomatoes. Remove the skins and
cores and cut into quarters. Now
blanch and cold dip one dozen ears
of corn. Cut the corn from the cob
and then mix with the tomatoes.
Fill into the jars and adjust the rub
ber and then partially tighten the
lid. Place in hot water bath and
process for two and one-half hours,
then proceed as directed for finish
ing the canned tomatoes.
Tomato Pulp
Scald and cold dip one basket of
tomatoes. Remove skin and the cores
and then cut into small pieces. Place
in a preserving kettle and cook un-
til soft. Rub through a sieve and
then boil until thick. Fill into jars
and adjust the rubber and partially
tighten the lid. Now process for
twenty minutes, then proceed as di-
rected for finishing the canned to-
matoes.
This tomato pulp may be used for
clear tomato soup, cream of tomato
and tomato and creole sauces.
The Italians have method of
preparing tomato paste for winter
use. This thick tomato pulp is then
placed in cans and jars and stored
for use in making the noodle, maca-
roni and other dishes so dear to the
son of the sunny Italian shores.
Italian Paste
Scald and remove the skins from
one basket of tomatoes, cut into
pieces and place in a preserving
kettle and cook until soft. Rub
through a fine sieve and then turn
into a bag made of unbleached mus
lin and hang up and let drip over

AnSWers Queries

My dear Mrs. Wilson-Will you
kindly let me know through your
columns in the paper how to pre-
pare raw, chopped round steak
into meat balls and broil them?
The kind | get at home are hard
and stiff. We put bread crumbs
into the meat, onion and season.
ing. What's the trouble? Also
tell me in canning corn what is
the cause of the kernels being very
hard? 1t tastes all right. Do
they have to boil three hours? We
did not boil ours that !ong. Thank
ing you for all the splendid recipes
you give US, am, Mrs. j. L. C.
Your preparation of the meat
cakes is apparently very good. Do
not add seasoning to the meat before
cooking. Make the cakes about one
half inch thick and brush them with
salad oil and have the broiler hot
when placing the meat in it to cook.
Turn in three minutes to scar both
sides and then cook for eight min
tues longer, turning every four
minutes.
The corn was old; if you will CRATE
the large corn instead of cutting
it from the cob, you will find it much
better; for safety's sake boil for
three hours.

Please Tell Me
What to DO
Does Not Prefer Them older
BY CYNTHIA

Dear Cynthia-In answer to sweet
Sivtcen :" letter, in reference to fel-
lows preferring girls older than them
selves, we would like to shed little
light upon the subject.
We are two young fellows sixteen
and eighteen years of age, and we find
that in our set a fellow of sixteen and
eighteen years of age generally prefers
girl of his own age and size.
There are few fellows who arc
rather tall for their age, who prefer
girl of their own size, although she
may be few years older than them =
selves.
Hoping that this will answer Sweet
Sixteens' question, we would like to
hear from her again On this subject.
