thing in canning is to have complete
sterilization Of the product; this is in
sured by good rubbers and perfect
seat.
A kettle, pail or boiler of any kind
which will take few jars deep enough
to cover or come to the neck of the jar
with water and good tight cover for
the boiler is all that is needed.
Sterilize the cans by placing them in
cold water, tops as well, and bring to
the boiling point. Dip the rubbers in
to the hot water before adjusting them,
then with the filed Jars, if a Mason,
screw it tight, then loosen one-quarter
way back. If the covers are screwed
too tight, the rubber is forced out Of
place or the jar may crack, If too
loose the water or liquid will be drawn
from the can.
The blanching of many fruits and
all vegetables is an important part Of
the preparation. BY blanching IS meant
the dipping into hot water and letting
the fruit or vegetable stand a certain
time, then plunging into cold water
Blanching shrinks, drives out the gases
In the tissues and brings the color to
the surface making a more attractive
product. The age and tenderness of
the product determines the length of
time for blanching. If apples are to
be canned. peel, quarter and dip for
two minutes Qf quickly cooked apples
are used, otherwise five minutes, then
plunge into cold water and drain and
pack into the jars. Fill the jars with
hot water, seal as mentioned above
and cook twenty minutes in the hot
water bath. Seal tightly as soon as
removed from the boiler.
Peaches, pears and plums may all be
cooked in the hot water for twenty
minutes. The peaches are btancfIdu
one minute; the plums or berries are
not blanched.

recipe before we risk wasting our
precious foodstuffs.
Each kind of dish has some basic
form. Knowing these, one may make
innumerable variations. When one
has reached this stage Of knowledge,
the taste and ingenuity of the cook will
have chance to develop.
In cake making we learn that there
are but two kinds of cakes; those us
ing some form of fat and those with
out, or sponge cakes.
In butter cakes the fat should be
from one-third to one-half the guam
tity of sugar, depending upon the rich
ness desired. Since the butter be-
comes liquid with heat we must take
that into account when adding milk,
water or coffee. The total amount of
liquid should measure one-half the
-four. The amount Of baking powder
Is one level teaspoonful to 4 cupful Of
-four, this in using heavier fiours like
corn or rice -four should be increased
to one and half or two.
When large number of whites of
eggs are used, less flour is needed.
Butter or other fat makes 4 batter
mere tender, moist and of better keep
ing quality; 1t also aids in making a
fine grain. Eggs when cooked become
thick, hence the more eggs the less
flour, other things being equal. When
large amount of sugar and butter
are used, increase the amount Of bak-
ing powder as both these ingredients
are heavy.
The following proportions are
standard:

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured


by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLSe CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an inflamed
condition OF the Mucous Surfaces.

DOWN STATE BANKERS MEET
DISCUSSED ACCESSIBILITY OF JOINING
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM.

The advisability of becoming mem
bers of the Federal Reserve System
was discussed at a meeting of the
bankers of Kent and Sussex counties
at the Hotel Richardson, Dover, Thurs
day morning at IL o'clock. The meet
ing was called by John S. Rossell,
President of the State Bankers AS
sociation, at the request of several
bankers of the two lower counties.
There were no formal speeches, the
meeting being solely to talk over
among themselves whether it is prof
liable for those who have not joined
the system to become members. Sew
eral down State bankers have already
Joined and these financiers are loud
in their praise of the benefits Of the
association.
At the last annual meeting of the
State Bankers Association it was
proposed that the State banks join the
Federal Reserve system, but many
have failed to do so, chiefly, it is be-
lieved because the heads of these in
stitutions have not had the opportun-
ity to observe the value OF such an
afiliation. At the meeting Thursday
much new information was given these
who have not joined.
