in this recipe: this is the case with
many of the soft fruits
The periods of sterilization called
for in the above recipes apply to can
ming in attitudes below | 900 feet For
attitudes above 1000 feet the time
OF sterilization should be increased at
the rate or 10 per cent for each addi-

above given recipe for asparagus
calls for sterilizing two hours. or 120
minutes. If the housewives location

Commission OF Washington, d. C.. ir,

concerning canning in high attitudes:
Neither homemade nor commercial
hot-water bath outfits are entirely
satisfactory, however. for canning at
very high attitudes, as the tempera-
ture of water in them does not reach
Zl2 degrees Fahrenheit In such To-

scientific point of view We shall go

Meantime one problem that seems
to worry the stout woman is how
many meals she can have while she
is reducing. 1t really does not mat
ter-so long as she does not eat more
than a certain amount of nourishment
every day.
She can have six meals IL she wants
or she can have only one. The point
is that she should find out as ac-
curately as possible the number of
calories of food she can eat every day.
A woman can reduce and at the same
time maintain her strength on 100 to
1900 calories a day, which is 1000 to
1900 less than she has probably been
eating.
AS a suggestion. the morning break
fast should consist of an orange, a
slice of dry toast and a cup of black
coffee. The caloric value Of this is
$50 and tho body is stimulated and
regulated by the coffee and orange
juice. An egg. plain salad. bread and

 Says City Superintendent of Schools c. B. Glenn;

Glenn, which will prove extremely interesting. In this report some of the things done by the various organizations are set forth the sum total of their entire work however, being much more lengthy.
