SOME FACTS ABOUT CANNING
THAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW

Every year brings us new diecov-
cries about the art Of canning. For
instance, few years ago we did not
know that the acid vegetables are less
difficult to preserve than those which
contain no acid This is because the
antiseptic action Of the acid IN the
vegetable Tor fruit) is so much in
creased by the temperature of the boil
ing water in the hot-water bath pro-
cessing Of the Cold Pack Method, that
il perfectly sterillzes the fruit or vege-
table in the jars. Fruits and vege-
tables containing large proportion
Of sugar are also easily sterilined by
the hot~water bath method. Whereas
vegetables such as corn and peas are
much more difficult 90 preserve be-
cause they contain neither acid nor
sugar in considerable quantities and
are ordinarily infected with certain
Of the anaerobic spore-bearing bao-
terra, which scientists tell us, arc able

Experiments at the University OF
California have shown us that veee-
tables can be saved from spoilage as
easily as fruit if a little acid isadded

Ruth and Bob Meusel to the Yank
lineup after serving their term for
misbehavior, explodes another wild
idea entertained by some that their
return would mean the benching at
least of said Walter.
Pipp was still on first and going
strong when this was pounded out.
The New York scribes had rea-
son to intimate that Pipp might
be derricked at the time. Elmer
Miller, young Norman Mcmillan
and Fewster were going good in the
outfeld. 1t seemed possible that
Higgins might put Babe Ruth on
first to keep his outfield intact as
was But there was plenty Of
room for Ruth and Meusel in the
outfield when they got word to
play. Whitley Witt was going
great guns but he was the only
gardener who offhand could chal-
lenge the return Of Bob Meusel or
Babe to the outfield.
Ruth was given a thorough try
out on first last spring but his first
basing wasn't anything to brag
about. 1t is probable that Hug
gins had an Interior motive in
working him there, as a INatter of
fact Ruth was greatly over
weight Idling about the outfeld
while waiting ones turn to catch
fungoes doesn't produce the maxi
mum action for a fellow who must
reduce. So its a good bet that
Higgins sent the Babe to first
primarily to give him more work
especially more STOPPING. Babes
waistline was bit too large for a
ball player.
Be it said to Pipp's credit that
he has played heads-up ball and
shown fine disposition during all

otherwise disposed of.

meant as knocks for Johnny Gooch,
young receiver who is working the
majority of the games. He is do

catcher could do under conditions.
But he doesn't come up to Schmidt.

Schmidt.
If Schmidt still has a chance to
take the initiative and reopen nego-

to go the limit, too.
