measurements and, as q result. the
amount used would vary enough to
lower the antiseptic value, or, pos.
slbiy, If in excess, to affect tho con-
sumner. NO suggestion was made
anac the use Of an excess of the cam
ming powder might be harmful.
Harmful Bacteria Not Affected
The effect Of the canning powder
was tried in standard culture media
on number of organisms frequently
round IN canned food, with the neces-
sary conclusion that any sense Of
safety from food poisoning founded
on the antiseptic properties Of the
powder is groundless, and depend
ence on it becomes a source Of dan
ger. The boric-acid powder under
test was also tried on various molds
otten found in canned goods, and
while the number Of species which
would germinate was reduced to
some extent, spoilage from common
species OF molds was not entirely
eliminated.
Boric acid has no food or condi-
mental value. 1t has been classed
under the food law as harmful to
health. Its antiseptic power has not
proved great. Although shese ex-
periments contribute little to show
The effect Of boric acid on the con-
sumner. products canned with the
'oric-acid canning powder were
shown to be deleterious to animals
o which they were fed.

VERTAlN canning powders.
consisting Of e5 per cent
~ boric acid and per cent
salt' have been widely advertised
and distributed. The Bureau Of
Chemistry Of the United States De-
partnent Of Agriculture finds these
powders to be entirely unnecessary
IN the case of acid fruits and vege-
tables, to show very slight selective
antissptic action toward those micro
organisms and molds which do NOT
cause spoilage In properly processed
jars, and to have no effect whatever
on the growth Of two Of the most
dangerous and common bacilli In
canned vegetables, namely, B. botu-
linus and B. sporogenes. The former
Is toxin-forming and has recently
been responsible for many deaths.
Careless Directions
In practical canning experiments
scid products packed without the
powder kept as well as those packed
with 1t. It's use, therefore, was un-
necessary. In the case of more or
less neutral vegetables the powder,
plus the inadequate heating recon-
naended, was not sufficient to pre-
serve the materials or to prevent
The production Of toxin in them by B.
botulinus.

, forms good first course, simple
green or light salad may follow, and
fruit, a sherbet or fruit salad finish
the repast. Cream soups, heavy sal
ads and elaborate desserts have no
part in such meal.
leftover cooked vegetables make
an excellent garnish for a planked
dish and as two or three vegetables
are used for this purpose, the por-
tions need not be large ones.
Be sure that the meat, fish, poul-
Try and potatoes are all a rich

combinations. Add also some bits
Of edible green, using crisp celery

pose.
In almost all planked recipes
either white or sweet potatoes arc
utilized as a border around the

cooked cereal Of the consistency Of

the tenderloins with tiny, peeled

If the rabbits are suspected Of
having passed their first youth,
steam them first, then dry and pro-

Boiled onions, dressed with butter

Slices Of fish such as salmon and

the whole fish. Broil them lightly
