CANNING PRODUCE WILL
HELP FOOD SITUATION
Product of the Farm, Much Of
Which is Going to Waste, Offers
Suggestion.

II every family will engage in the do.
mestic service of canning and otherwise
preserving the product of the farm that il
obtainable now. that will go great way
toward cutting down the high cost OF
living.
While il is true that some of the ar
tioles that enter into canning and pre-
serv nc, as well MS Z he foodstnffs them
selves, are more expensive than in the
past those who have piven the matter
some study feel that the effort will be
warranted in view # the possibilities Of
winter. Advanced prices of sugar, jars,
&c, nave deferred some housewives, but
many realize the Importance of stocking
up now and are going ahead with the
work as best they can.
1t is unfortunate that there has been q
slaekcnIng in the demand for some farm
produce that is usually eagerly sought for
canning. This has resulted in waste on
some Of the farms because of the staFna-
tion of the market in these commodities
However, there is vet time to obtain
foodstuifs for canning and as IL is un-
certain as To what food will be obtainahlc
in winter and TO what height the prices
may go, many believe that il is warrant
ed, even at the presen. prices, TO go ahead
with canning and stock up the family
larder. The more canned goods each
family has, 81 much better of will that
family be when il comes to supplying the
winter needs.

in the history Of the Wornen's College oi
Delaware the attendance at the opening
assembly on Thursday was such that the
room was completely filed with students

pitious, for those who believe in signs
see in this, not merely measure Of the
increased college population, but an IN
dication Of true college spirit. The upper
classmen had seemingly returned with an
added enthusiasm 70 counteract their
small numbers. and the sophomores ap-
peared ready to do all IN their power 70
make the freshmen feel At home, and met
them on an almost equal basis as to
numbers. The freshman class itself con-
sists Of 10 girls from Delaware, Maryland,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the
main, but has also the distinction Of CON
taining Connecticut girl, Florida girl
and two from Paris, France. Such class
II surely one which the older girls are

How much time and thought do you
put on your children's lunch basket

How much time and thought do yot
put on your children's lunch basket?
Children have such appctites that
they will eat anything is a remark often
heard They may have good appetites
now, but if school children are allowed to
eat the wrong things, the time may come
when they can't eat the right things
Growing children have certain special
needs In the way Of food. Like grown
people, they must be supplied with that
which is reeessary for health ard strer 9Th,
but, unlike them, they should be gwen
also that which is necessary for develop
ment.
Even one hot dish obtainabIe at school
at noon makes the lunch more appetixing,
and many schools are now providing it.
When a child must carry lunch and can
not obtain at school hot dish. the task
Of filling the box or basket demands great
care to make sure that il is appetisIng,
nourishing and sustaining.
One Of the best investments TO make
for child who carries his lunch to a
school that does not serve a hot mnch
is bottle which will keep liquids hot or
cold for some time. Cocoa or soup pipin z
hot on a cold day will make feast out OF
an otherwise uninterestirg lunch.
In general, the school lunch, like the
child's diet as whole, should contain
representatives of the five food groups
In it should be found foods rich in pro-
tein, such as milk, cheese, meats, fish,
dried beans, peas, Peanuts, and other
nuts; cereal or starchy foods, such rs
bread, cereal mushes, rico and tapioca,
fatty foods, such as butter, cream, salad
oils and bacon; vegetables and fruits,
but such as cereals and dried bears are
