Since reducing has become the
popular pastime it has brought into
favor many sports once neglected.
Among these swimming undoubt-
edly takes the lead because it is the
most effective agency for removing
extra pounds and keeping more from
accumulating.
Also. it is much pleasanter form
of swelling than slow starvation.
However, Mary Beaton, celebrated
Scotch swimmer who conducts one
of the most fashionable swimming
schools in New York believes swim
ming should be INDUCED in primarily
as means of acquiring grace.
Swimming is as beautiful as
esthetic dancing" she maintains,
land as much of JOY to the eye

But in their eagerness to reduce
flesh many women enormously be-
lieve their end will be accomplished
more quickly if they try to develop

men can swim fast and be graceful.

to make it clear that no person has
more than one fortune for one day.
The sophomore junior English

SISTER MARYS
KITCHEN
SISTER MARYS METHOD FOR
CANNING BEANS


Green beans are an excellent vege-
table for canning. They keep well and
require minimum amount of prepa-
ration.
When opening can of beans, turn
into colander and rinse in cold run
ming water. Use as fresh beans are
used, in a cream sauce or chowder or
as salad.
Beans for canning should be young
and as freshly gathered as possible
Old beans require too long cooking to
make them tender and are likely TO
become mushy and broken.
Choose some of the tiny green
beans to can for salad Pack these
in pint cans instead of quarts. The
time for processing pint cans is the
same as for quarts. The amount of
salt and sugar used is just one-half.
Cold Pack String Beans
Wash and string beans. Cut IN inch
lengths. Put in cheesecloth, tie
loosely and plunge into boiling water
Boil eight minutes
Remove from boiling water and dip
Immediately into a large pan of very
cold water. Leave in cold water 60
seconds. This checks the juices from
escaping and preserves the color
Drain beans and pack in sterilized
jars to one fourth inch from the top.
Add one teaspoon salt and one tea
spoon sugar to each quart jar.
Adjust rubber. Pour in boiling
water to cover beans Put on top of
jar and half seal. Place jars on rack
in boiler. Water must cover the jars
by at least two inches.
When the jars are put into the
boiler they will chill the water
slightly and boiling viii stop. Count
the time of processing from the time
the bubbling begins again.
Let boil two and one-half hours.
Add water as necessary to keep the
jars covered.
Remove jars from water, finish
sealing and turn upside down to cool.
The cans should cool quickly, but
care must be taken that a draught
does not strike them.
Always test rubbers before using.
Good rubbers will stretch and return
Immediately to their original size
and shape. Dip in boiling water be-
fore adjusting.
The tiny green beans are canned
the same way except that they are
canned whole.
Yellow beans make a delicious
pickle
Picked Beans
Two quarts vinegar. cup sugar
/ teaspoon salt, / quart beans.
Wash and snap beans, but do not
cut in short lengths. Cook in boiling
salted water till tender. They must
not be too well done
Drain. Heat vinegar and sugar to
the boiling point. Do not let boil.
Add beans and salt and let boil up
once Put into sterilized cans while
boiling hot and seal.
The cans must be absolutely full
with no air bubbles. The beans fin
ish cooking in the hot vinegar. II
cooked too. much to begin they will
break and be mushy when served.

Little Stories For Bedtime

When all seems wrong and nothing

The cloud that blacklist seems to be
Is really nearest to the light.
That was just the way it was with
little Mite Meadow Mouse. There he
was in the pocket of Farmer Browns
boy, being carried he knew not
where. Somehow he wasn't as much
afraid as he might have been. You
see, Farmer Browns boy had been
very gentle with him. But he was
being carried away. and that seemed
a very dreadful thing in itself. He
felt more lost than ever. What pos
sible chance would there be now of
ever getting back home again?
Farmer Browns boy had said some
thing about taking him home, but
Mite felt sure that that home was not
his home. So he cuddled down in a
corner of the pocket, feeling very
miserable and helpless. Things GER
tainly did look dark
Now Farmer Browns boy had come
down to the cornfield that morning
to hoe the corn, for already the
weeds were springing up between the
rows. He Scowled over at Blacky
the Grow and his relatives, who were
making a great racket on the Green
Meadows. He shook his fist at them
Then he grinned, for right down in
his heart he has fondness for
Blaclly, in spite of the mischief he
does.
Il suppose l ought not to begrudge
you that corn you have pulled up"

again. | thought that scarecrow was
going to fool you this spring, but !
see it hasn't.
Cav, cav, caw!'' replied Blacky in
the sauciest way.
Farmer Browns boy trudged along
the edge OF the cornfield with his hoe
on his shoulder Thinking of the
extra work he had to do because of
Blacky the Grow. he quite forgot the
little Meadom Mouse in his pocket
Presently he came to a pile of old
cornstalks.

which is not beautiful and still give
the impression of great charm. But

"A woman is never too old to
swim. You would be surprised, pos
sibly, to know that frequently grand
daughter and grandmother come to-

often, too. grandmother proves
to be more apt pupil than the child,
for she realizes the importance of

Many of the women in my classes
are so and 60 years old. and are TAX
ing up swimming for the first time.
Usually, however they do not look

to keep in good physical trim.
'All the messages and mud packs
