The tomato might be described as
the friendly vegetable" 1t is in
deed the housewives friend in that
it is always ready to help where
most needed in an emergency and is
easy to handle. The housekeeper al
ways knows just where to find" it.
There is no vegetable so cheap
and easy to can. and after canning
there are innumerable ways of serv-
ing and changing the plain stewed
product.
Canned tomatoes will make soup.
fritters. scallops, salads, Combina-
tion dishes. sauces. buffers and quite
as good catsup and chilli sauce as
fresh tomatoes.
The quality OF the tomato that
makes it semi-fruit and vegetable
offers a wide scope in using. That
tomatoes make a delicious sweet to
serve with hot biscuits in place Of
desert as well as an appetfzing anc
nourishing soup seems to me a most
adequate reason for canning them
by the bushel.
Every housewife should put up
quantities Gf her family will eat to-
mstoes at AID knowing that she is
storing away for winter use the one
vegetable that will fit a place on the
menu from SOUP almost to nuts.
The acidity in tomatoes causes
many to question the keeping quail
ties, but the fact is that there is
nothing that keeps" better. Per
feCtly sterilized glass Mason jars
with tested rubbers and tops assure
a perfect can of tomatoes whenever
opened.
Tomatoes are easier to prepare for
canning than most vegetables. Pour
boiling water over a pan full of ripe
red tomatoes and the skins will slip
off like magic. And tomatoes do not
stain the Gamers hands!
Cut large tomatoes in quarters
and put into preserving kettle
Bring to the boiling point and scald
thoroughly. Fill sterilized cans alb
solutely full with the boiling toma
toes. This makes the vacuum neces-
sary for the vegetable to keep"
Screw on the tops and the deed is
done. The work must be done
( quickly, each can filled and sealed
with the utmost speed.
To can tomatoes whole. the colo
! pack method is preferred. Toma

There is a splash and a dash
about the fall coat dresses that
make them irresistible.
For instance, take the cape-dress
illustrated. Its material is tan
worsted twill marked OFF in two
inch squares with hair lines of
brown. and it has a straight skirt
with half a dozen plaits at either
side and an overblouse of tan suede
cloth with bands of the checked
material. braid-trimmed. forming
straps over the shoulders and a
low belt.
Then there is the cape. 1t swings
free from its moorings just under

CHOOSE YOUR EXERCISE.

The exercise that is best for you
is the one YOU like best. II golf
Is your hobby. then golf is the
thing that will fill your lungs with
oxygen, develop your heart muscle
and make your blood vessel walls

physical exertion, there will be the
stimulus that a mental glow will

The same is true for any other
lobbyist. The poor unfortunate is

be a labored effort, but is is some
thing that just must be faced Dr.
William S. Walsh in his year book.
Yours For Sleep" says: We are
accused of being a lively nation
We are. it is true, to our bodies
destruction. Bent upon gain, we
strive and toll day in and day out,
year in and year out; and just as
we feel that fortune is within our
grasp We die. We must work

mOnOtsIy, when we should mingle
work with play; play with laughter,
and laughter with love. If we play
and laugh and love We exercise our
bodies and feed our souls with the
fire of life"
The reason that there is so much
more talk of the need of exercise
now than there was in former times
is that in this country our ances-
tors followed the John Smith rule
and those who would not work
might not eat" They got their
physical exercise in pioneer work

pioneer work is almost finished and

as the nut fell in the tall grass,
a voice Suddenly cried.

ran the Pipsisewah. He had been
hiding there, waiting a chance to
nab Uncle Wiggily; but when the

Uncle Wiggily, as he saw the Pip

Then Johnnie and Billie Bushy-

they gnawed open a lot Of the nuts
for Uncle Wiggily. And the nuts
were so like butter that Nurse Jane
made a cake with them after all,
and the squirrel boys each had a
slice, and so did Mr.. Longears.
So this teaches US that If a kitten

al last somebody is paying cs-

publishing a child's magazine, which
contains pictures of Colored chill
dren and stories about them and
their own Colored folk. In the first

queen of AbysSinia, and of other
children of the sun. This will put

And YOU know the dreams anticipate

If Dubois had done nothing else but

more important than The Crisis; it
begins at the beginning-with The
