Brining Preserves Food
When Other Means
Fail.

During the week of October rs to
November / the retail grocers of
Omaha will exhibit, in their pure
food show, many OF the choicest and
delectable foods. To housekeepers
this will be a welcome exhibition for
the winter season lacks many fresh
fruits and vegetables of the other
three. New ideas for canning, pick
ling, brinlng, preserving and splicing
which will be timely, indeed, for this
season.
One of the oldest methods of pre-
serving food is by sailing or fer
menting it. When the rush of late
summer work finds the housekeeper
with more garden products On hand
than she can can or dry, brining is
the solution of her difficulties. A
bucket of brine will keep the extra
vegetables until less busy season
when more time is available to pre-
pare them for use.
All that is necessary for brining,
United States Department of Agri-
culture specialists say, is scalded
crock or bucket, a brine made of
two pounds of salt to one gallon OF
water, a cloth and plate or board,
and a heavy weight. For best re-
suits, vegetables should be blanched
in hot water five minutes before
brining. For some vegetables
weaker brine will do. With string
beans and few other vegetables,
weaker brine with a little vinegar
added will give satisfactory results.
Wash the product, if it is not
blanched, and put it in the container;
add the brine, put the cloth over
the top and place the weighted
board or plate on the material being
brined to hold it below the surface
of the liquid. Brine of this strength
will act as preservative without
causing any change in the vegetable.
When the vegetables preserved in
this way are desired for use, they
may be brought back by soaking a
few hours in fresh water. They are
then ready to prepare for table use.
Dandelions, beet tops, turnip tops.
spinach, chard, kale, cabbage, string
beans and green peas and corn are
vegetables which may be satlsfactor-
lily preserved by this method.
Fermentation With Dry Sailing.
When vegetables are packed dry
with two or three pounds of salt to
every hundred pounds of material,
as in the making of sauerkraut, or
are covered with brine, as in the
preparation of dill pickles, the sugar
in the vegetables is extracted from
then and fermented by the bacteria
that are present. After this action
has gone on to a certain point,
enough Tactic acid is formed to kill
the bacteria and to prevent the
growth of mould. The Tactic acid
gives the fermented material char
acteristic flavor which is relished
by many and it has no harmful eff
feet. 1t is the same acid which is
in sour milk.
If vegetables are covered with
very strong brine or packed with a
fairly large amount of salt, there is
no Tactic acid fermentation and the
growth of other forms of bacteria
and moulds are prevented.
In vinegar picking the acetic acid
of the vinegar acts like the. Tactic

Emmy Destinn Borrowed
Destinn Will Sing Here
Before Appearing In
New York or -
Chicago.
By A. K.

BY A. K.
Oh, what treat!
She couldn't be bought but she
could be borrowed!
It's Emmy Destinn-yes, indeedy,
Emmy Destinn is really coming
with the role of Amelia" in the
Masked Ball' with the Chicago
Opera company, October 20. And
we are to hear her before New York
or Chicago-two cities who brag of
being first and best in everything.
Music lovers are all aflutter. They
are afraid to count on it, fearing that
she may have bad luck or an acct
dent, of some kind before she
reaches Omaha. But one must con-
slider that Campanini of the Chicago
Oper company. and Gatti-Cazaza of
the Metropolitan Opera company,
are friendly contemporaries and
sometimes friendship counts for
more than money. 1t did in this
case. Gatti Cazaza wouldn't sell
Emmy Destinn for million, but he
loaned her toCampanini. And so the
famous singer comes to us as some
thing that money cannot buy.
The illustrious Emmy Destinn,
was informed in Austria at the out
break of the war in 1914, because
of her pro-ally inclinations. Her
voice is pure soprano of wonderful
power and evenness and is capable
of infinite modulations. Her sue
cesses at the Metropolitan have been
heralded on every side as also her
notable appearances at the Covent
Garden, London.
Nine. Destinn was born at Prague
on February 2o, 1873. Her real name
was kittl, and it might have re-
NAMED so, had she pursued her
work with the violin. But it so hap
pened that her glorious voice was
discovered and she became pupil
of Nine. Loewe-Destinn. And it
WIS out of appreciation for her
teacher, that she took the stage
name of Destinn. Since then it has
become as we'll known as any other
name in the list of the worlds great
artists.
Nine. Destinn made her debut at
Dresden in 1897, but the first great
achievement of her career came in
the following year at the Royal
Opera house of Berlin, when she
made her debut there at Santuzza.
Her success was phenomenal and
she was engaged at once as a regu-
lar member. She soon became
star of first magnitude. In 1901 !

acid and prevents the growth of
bacteria or moulds.
Sauerkraut or Fermented Salt
Cabbage.
The essential points in making
sauerkraut are the use of only ma
ture, sound cabbage, scrupulous
cleanliness throughout the process,
and proper care of the surface of
the brine after fermentation is COM
pleted.
In making sauerkraut for home
purposes the outer green leaves of
the cabbage should be removed,
just as in preparing the head for
boiling. In addition all decayed or
bruised leaves should be discarded
and the core removed. If an in
strument for this purpose is not
available, it is advisable to quarter
the heads and slice off the part OF
the core remaining on each quar-
ter. The cabbage should be
shredded by one of the hand shred
ding machines sold for such pur-
poses, or if one is not available the
heads may be cut into thin slices
with slaw cutter or large knife.
The shredded cabbage should be
packed Immediately into a perfectly
clean, water-tight receptacle, such
as cider or wine barrel, key or
tub. AS it is packed into the re-
ceptacle add salt in the proportion
of one pound Of salt to 40 pounds
of cabbage, distributing it evenly
throughout the cabbage. Expert
ments have shown that approximate
ly IA pounds of salt to each 100
pounds of shredded cabbage give the
best flavor to kraut.
When the barrel or crock is near
ly full the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly as possible and COW
cred with a clean board cover. 1t
is advisable but not essential that
clean cloth be placed over the cab
bage. before the cover is put into
place. The salt soon extracts a
considerable amount of the cabbage
juice from the cabbage and suf-
ficient weight of clean brick or
stone should be added to cause the
brine to rise up to the wooden
cover. Set the container aside un-
til fermentation is complete, skim
off any scum that forms, and pro-
tect the surface by pouring over it
a layer of paraffin.
Keeps Best in Cool Weather.
If paraffin is not added, the scum
develops very rapidly in warm
weather and soon destroys the acid
of the brine and the sauerkraut be-
meath. If the sauerkraut is made
in the fall and stored in a cool place,
there is no absolute necessity of a
layer of paraffin, since low tenn
perature will prevent the growth
Of the organism which destroys
Tactic acid and causes decomposi-
ton. No doubt the popular idea
that sauerkraut made from early
cabbage will not keep is based upon
the fact that the fermentation of
sauerkraut made from such cabbage
occurs in warm weather and the
rapid growth of scum soon destroys
both brine and kraut if the surface
is not proDerly protected,

WORTH KNOWING.

Always shrink materials for chill
dren's clothes twice before making
up.
Clipped dry beef makes hearty
dish combined with eggs or potatoes.
An electric fan is an excellent hair
dryer, if one cannot get wind and
sunshine.
When meat is eliminated from a
meal, be sure to choose vegetables
carefully.
Food to be kept on the cellar floor
should be placed in aluminium dishes
to keep cool.
If the candle is too large for the
candlestick dip it into warm water
until it is melted to the proper size.
A convenient way to melt choco-
late is to put it into a glass jar and
stand it in hot water.

Loneliness Ouercame
American Bride OF
Japanese Husband

On a quiet little backwater byway,
lust of the main stream of Clevelands
busiest business street, Is quaint
little Japanese art goods store, exotic
with the Towering expression OF the
oriental craftsmen, and the odd con-
ceits Of ancient cultures.
Just a year ago, a pretty young girl,
dark eyed and dainty, wandered down
this byway. seeking just such a
strange bloom among the unwonted
turmoil of the busting city. She was
Ruby Stivers. product Of dull little
Ohio village, and the rigid sectanarism
of Ohio Wesleyan university, and a
newcomer to the city. Cleaning out
of the winter dusk, the fancies In the
shaded windows had a strange attrac-
ton. They aroused in her a strain
of dark mysticism, never far below
the surface.
She entered. Behind the counter
was a quiet olive skinned clerk, gen
tie, polished and attractive. He
showed her this and that, as she
sought a little gift for her brother,
whom she was visiting. But her deep
ewes moro often sought those or the
Japanese clerk.
It was love at first sight. Kipling' 8

They were married and moved to
Detroit.
Today Ruby stivers Fushimi is
dead. The strain of dark mysticism
had been rising beyond her control
for the last few months, and she shot
herself at the door of the roomine
house where she and her Japanese
husband lived. :,
Whether memories Of what the hol
idays might have meant. had she been
back home in the little Ohio village
led her to take her life. no one knows
Her husband. Sadojro Fushimi, clerk
in an art goods store here, cannot
explain. But it seems that her odd
mental twist must be responsible.
For several months her husband
had feared for her safety. According
to Mrs. Ellen Stelhia, the landlady
at their rooming house. he was &C
customed to call her several times
day to reassure himself. And the po
lice also knaw of her strain. Severa
