BAD COMPILATIONS ARE POPULARITY RUNNERS
Clear the Skin, Regain That Girly Appearance and Most Other Faults Are Overlooked" Say
 Authorities On
 Beauty

The motion picture screen has done more than any other thing to prove that with beautiful complexion you can overcome the handicaps of no ed . ucation, few advantages, poor circum- stances and thin, unattractive form.
 If you could see and talk with q great many of the girls and women of the screen you would find that their charm is in their face. and that they rarely ever have that inherent aris- tocracy which their appearance on the screen impresses you with.
 This shows that you can make the same impression on the people who pass you as you walk along among the crowds, or those you come in con tact with every day. if you will just let the thousands of girls and women who use the Black and White Beauty creations be your guide.
 If these women were not satisfied with Black and White Cleansing cnd Peroxide Cream. Face Powder Soap and many other complexion necessi- ties now sold under the Black and White label, the tremendous sale of more than eight million packages a year would not be possible. Anything can be sold once, but unless it really brings results that thing will not be bought a second time.

you had the money last?" inquired Mrs. Jarr.
 "I had it when 1 came home last evening"" was the reply, "I put it in my fob pocket, right here, as I was going to lie down on the sofa and was afraid it might slip from my trousers pocket"
 'Will you wager it was in that fob ask ed Mrs. Jarr.
 m bet anything it was" he re- piled fervently.
 Sure" said Mir, Jarr 50 now give me five dollars"
 Not so fast" remarked Mrs Jarr. Don't you remember I made you change the Palm Beach suit that had just been pressed when you came home last night and started to bunk down on the sofa to read the papers, as usual?"
 MT. Jarr remembered.
 Well" cried Mrs. Jarr triumph antly, you had left the s5 in the fob pocket of the other suit. I found it there, but didn't touch it. Now you have lost it to mel"
 "Oh, very we'll" said Mr Jarr philosophically but you'll have to lend it to me for spending money this week."
 Whats the use of people who haven't anything trying to get some thing from each other?" sighed Mrs. Jarr.
 But she kept $4 of the treasure just the same.

MT. Jarr searched his pockets in an distracted manner. Whatever he was searching for had also been ab- stracted.
 Did you take anything out of my pockets last night or tkis morning?" he asked.
 "The ideal" cried Mrs. Jarr. Per haps you'll be saying next that l drugged you with chloroform or something of that sort and took your watch"

SUMMER CANNING IN
 A COOL KITCHEN

A few years ago if jar of home canned tomatoes didn't keep" or if in some strange manner mothers cherished spiced pears turned sour, she was quite sure she had no luck putting up things" or "jarring didn't come natural" to her. But today we see and hear little of luck" or "chance" in connection with modern home preservation of foods. Thanks be to Uncle Sam, who has done a vast amount of research on the subject for us, and who, during the war es- pecially, found out all there is to know about guaranteed and success ful coming. Best of aH his experts have so simplified the process that even girls of 10 and 12 are taking blue ribbons on their products the country over.
 The one standard, simple and cool est method is called "coldpack' cam ming. This means that the foods are packed when raw and cold into steril- ized jars, and the process of sterliz- ing followed in the jar itself when almost tightly sealed. Before be- ginning to follow it's easy and exact steps consider the kinds of cooker adapted to this work. First, you may use the old fashioned family wash boiler and place a rack on the bottom on which to set the jars Water is then poured up to the necks of the jars, the lid tightly shut and the process started. An improvement on the jars and somewhat heavy boiler is a smaller container, square in shape, fitted with rack which has lifting holders at each end, thus making it more easy to remove the finished jars from the boiler. This canner comes in various slzeS TOT from 4-24 jars capacity.
 Next we may use the pressure cooker so familiar to all It's ad- vantage is that it sterilizes in the leasR time of any equipment, owing to the great pressure of the steam con tained under it's absolutely tight lid. It holds fewer jars, a time. how ever. A third type is that kind Of steam-cooker which has one water compartment at the bottom, with space for two trays of jars above, the whole appearing like small portable oven. A 12jar size in this type is most convenient as it re- uuires the heat of only one gas burner to do the work. Any one Of ttese three will lessen the attention to the jars during cooking, almost guarantee results. and keep the Kitchen cool. The small size steam cooker is particularly nice for the apartment dweller or the woman who

 Now for the steps in the "cold- pack" process itself. These distinct terms should be clearly understood:
 l. Scaiding is a short immersion of the product in steam or hot water; it's object Is to remove syins, lessen acid and coarse flavor.
 ?. Blanching is much longer hold ing in boiling water; it is done to shrink the bulk, lessen coarse flavor and to shorten the sterilizing time.
 ,. Cold dipping is the plunge into cold water to set the color, harden the pulp and permit easy packing.
 4. Packing is done by grading and arranging the pieces into the jar, filling up space and pressing down with wooden spoon.
 5. Sterilizing is the time required for the food to cook in the jar and depends both on the kind of food and the equipment used.
 6. Sealing is done after the jars are removed and their caps frightened. Then invert to test joints. and pack in a cool and dark place.
 The above steps follow one another in exact order, although either scaioe ing or blanching may be the first. depending on the productive would scala peaches or lOndloeS to iO move skin. but "blanch" string beans in a cheesecloth bag to shrink and render less coarse in flavor.
