THE ROASTING EAR"

We are assured that sweet corn
from Delaware's own garden
patches will be at it's best and
abundant in a few days. What
good news this is!
The man or woman who has not

Fweet corn, and who is away from

VINEGAR HELPS IN
HOME CANNING

1t may not always be possible to
kill all bacteria in home canning,
for some of those germs can en-
dure a high degree of heat for a
long time. Nevertheless, jars and
cans must be processed long
enough to kill as many bacteria as
possible.
In the case of fruit or tomatoes,
even though many of the bacteria
survive the short heating process,
few or none will grow because of
the acid present. Heavy syrup
added to the fruit also prevents
the growth of bacteria. For this
reason fruit requires a much
shorter time of processing than
vegetables, with the exception of
tomatoes.
During the last year, the Home
Experimental Kitchen of the
United States Department of
Agriculture has been experiment
ing with the addition of small
amount of acid-vinegar-to nom
acid vegetables being canned. The
work is being continued and the
results thus far indicate that one
to four tablespoons of vinegar
added to a quart jar help greatly
in reducing the amount of spoil
age. When the vinegar is added
the time of processing can be re-
duced. For instance, it is found

WHO WON SUFFRAGE"

l
Who won suffrage, for the vic,
tory can now be considered as
| won?
Was it the 66 men in the Senate
who voted for the Federal suf-
frage amendment on June 4?
Was it the 304 men in the House
who voted for it on May 21, send
ing it on to the Senate with the
mighty majority of AZ votes?
Was it the Republican party
which contributed 80 of the yes
votes in the Senate?
Was it the Democratic party,
which contributing only 27 Senate
votes, yet made the greatest single
contributions in the prestige and
far-reaching influence of Presi-
dent Wilson, who, for two years,
had smashed every established
precedent in aid of the amend
ment?
Was it the geniuses of organ
ization who led the suffragists?
The influential young society
women who joined the suffrage
ranks?
The pickets?
Oh, my children, if you think it,
how little you know the suffrage
story!
1t was Mother!
Just simply and eternally
Mother.
That inspirational creature
whom you love to put on a pedes-
tai and write poems about and
sentimentalize over; that sane,
practical person who runs the
house; the Queen of the Rolling
Pin; your little mother out in the
Middle West; my little mother
down South; mother up in Maine;
mother out in Oregon; mother in
Indiana and Florida and Connec-
ticut, Texas and Colorado, and
other equally well-known States.
1t is popular to link up the
suffrage struggle to the individu-
alistic spirit in women. And it is
true that the individualistic wom
an has been willing to go any
lengths for suffrage, has fired up
over it, thrown bricks for it and
presently, been done with it, as
she is done with every other life
experiment when the stimulation
of its novelty has passed. Not
that she goes back on suffrage.
But she can't go forward for it
any more. She stays "suff" but
her zest reaches out for the next
thing.
The land is full of young, fine
individualistic women today to
whom suffrage is frankly "stale
stuff"
The individualistic spirit in
woman has gotten lot of things
into the world.
But it din't get suffrage.
Mother got it.
The sustaining spirit of the suf.
trage movement from the begin
ming to the end of it has been the
mother spirit.

Some Recipes for Cooking Corn
Boiling

some htClpSS Iol Sooh1iS SoIu
Boiling
Strike off the husk and silg en-
tirelv; or, strip off all the husk
except one inner row of husk
Either way is good. Have ready a
large pot of boiling water. Never
put salt into the water for boiling
corn; it hardens the outer coating
Of the grains, making them often
,hrivelled and yellow, besides be-
ing much more indigestible. Pur
the corn in the pot; cover and boil
RAPIDLY for about twenty minutes
Cfor large-sized ears); then set
the pot, with the corn in it, upon
the hearth and let it stand for ten
or fifteen minutes. Then drain,
strip off the leaves, and serve in
napkin folded to cover them.
SuccOtash
Cover a pint of lima beans with
cold water and cook until tender,
and then six ears of corn, grated,
and a slice Of bacon and cook for
fifteen minutes. Then take out the
bacon, season with salt and pep
per. and a half cup Of milk and a
tablespoon of flour rolled in two
tablespoons of butter. Cook until
the flour is cooked through and
serve very hot.
Corn Soup
Put the grated corn from six
ears through a vegetable cutter
and then through a vegetable
press. Simmer with slice of
onion, couple of pieces of celery
and some salt in pint of water
for half an hour. Then add two
cups of milk thickened with two
tablespoons of -four and cook until
the mixture is smooth. Season and
serve very hot.
Corn ChOwder
Pare two big potatoes and cut
them into dice. Chop an onion
fine. Put a layer of the potatoes
in bottom of a saucepan and
sprinkle with onions, pepper and
salt. Add layer Of grated corn.
Continue until six ears of corn
and all the potatoes and onions
are used. Then add two cups of
veal, mutton or chicken stock or
the same amount of water, cover
and simmer for twenty minutes.
Add three tablespoons of flour
rubbed with one of butter into
.ball, cook five minutes more, sea-
son further if necessary, take from
the fire, add a beaten egg yolk,
and serve at once.
Corn Pudding
One can Of corn or eight ears
|of fresh corn. With sharp knife
slit each row of corn in the center
land scrape with the back of your
knife. Add the yolks of three eggs
beaten, one generous tablespoon
|Of butter, one tablespoon of -four,
Newark post., 1920-08-25
For the Homemaker's Eue

one teaspoon of sugar, one tea
spoon of salt, saltspoon of pep
per, and last of all the well-beaten
whites of three eggs. Fill a pud-
ding dish with this and cover II
with milk, which will take from
half to a pint. Bake in an oven
one hour.
Corn Fritters
Corn cut from seven ears, one
egg beaten together, -four, one
pint of milk, salt and pepper
lard for frying; one teaspoon of
baking powder to each cup of
-four.
Scrape the corn as described
Mix all together, adding eonugh
Hour to. make rather stiff
batter. Drop by the teaspoon into
deep boiling lard. The lard should
be deep enough to float the frit-
tiers. If they spread too much af
ter testing one or two, add a little
more flour. They should puff like
doughnuts. Drain dry; serve on
cup paper or folded napkin.
If the corn yields much milk in
scraping, add less than designated
in the recipe.
Food Should Be Thoroughly
Washed
Dried figs and dates should be
washed carefully before being
eaten, as they have been exposed
for an unknown length of time to
possible contagion by flies and
dirty hands. In how many houes
are oranges washed before they
are brought to the table, or the
lemons before they are sliced for
tea or lemonade, or before the
skin is grated for favoring? Yet
orange and lemon skins are often
very dirty. Shelled nuts purchas-
ed in the market should always
be washed, scalded, and dried by
a clean cloth before they are used.
Quick Raisin Bread
Three cups -four, one teaspoon
salt, four teaspoons baking pow
der, two tablespoons sugar, one
cup raisins, one egg, one and one
half cups milk, two tablespoons
melted fat.
Sift the dry ingredients to
gether and add the raisins. Beat
the egg, add it to the milk and
stir into the dry ingredients. Add
the melted fat, pour into a creased
loaf pan and bake forty-fve
minutes.
Sour Cucumber Pickles
Wash and dry two quarts of
put boiling water on
them and a good handful of salt;
leave all night and drain. Fill |
cans. Put vinegar on the stove
and let it get hot; put in mixed |
spices or small onions, turn on
pickles hot and place horseradish !
leaves over the tops of the cans.

The social welfare of practically

tragic upheaval is made possible are
clearly and most forcibly set out in
this picture, which is full of human
heart interest that has been neglect
ed in so many of our latter-day films

cast is ably set forth by the master

Of twelve talented actors who pre-
sent a new play on every Monday,

it that she was requested to remain
for the next weeks production and
take the leading juvenile role. She
has played with the company for SIX
weeks and her rendition of the sew
eral parts to which she has been as
signed have won for her unstinted
praise from the managers. The

ly fiattering, and the audiences have
greeted her appearance upon the
stage with cordial applause, attest
ing to their approval of her per-
Torrance.
Until the Bridgeport engagement
Miss StalIings had been living at the
beautiful Hotel Seymour, New York,
