CANNED VEGETABLES
IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Family Soon Tires of Them
Served in Same Way.

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
If canned vegetables are always
served in exactly the same way, the
family soon tires of them whether put
up at home or bought. There are
many ways of dressing these prod
ucts up, however, to make them more
tempting.
No matter how canned vegetables
are served, they should be boiled thor
oughly after they are poured from the
can and before they are tasted, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture counsels the housekeeper. A lit
tie onion juice or celery salt or bit
of green pepper or celery tops or n
small piece of bay leaf, improves the
flavor of many canned vegetables.
Here are some suggestions:
Canned tomatoes, spinach, aspara-
gus, okra, eggplant or corn can be
scalloped by spreading in layers in
n baking dish, with bread crumbs in
between. Each layer is sprinkled with
butter, salt, pepper, or paprika, sea-
soned with the liquor from the can,
and any other preferred flavoring.
Bread crumbs usually form the top
layer, so that when the dish is baked,
it is attractively Drowned.
Canned sweet potatoes may be
mashed and baked, or made into sweet
potato pie, or baked in layers with
slices of apples between.
Canned vegetables can be combined
with each other or with the so-called
winter vegetables, Tomatoes are good
with peppers or with okra and onion,
with corn, with string beans, or both
or with celery. These may be served
as vegetable dishes or combined in
SOUPS Turnips and celery in combina-
ton are excellent, especially in white
sauce. Diced carrots with canned
peas or string beans cut in small
pieces. are usually liked. Beets and
turnips may be followed out to make
cups in which peas or small lima beans
are served.
A ham bone or piece of bacon put
in for flavor, with a little vinegar, Is
often liked with canned string beans
or canned spinach. Spinach souffie
and spinach loaf are two dishes that
make plain canned spinach seem diff
ferent. When serving canned baked
beans, they may be reheated to advan-
tape with a little extra seasoning con-
sjsting of tablespoonful of molasses,
n pinch of mustard, and bit of salt
pork or bacon.

Eggs in water glass properly pre-
served will keep in good condition
from six to ten months and can be
used satisfactorily for all purposes in
cooking and for the table. They will
prove an economy for use in cakes,
buildings and other cookery, and a
convenience when the hens are not
laying enough for ordinary daily
needs, or when it is impossible to send
to the store for the usual order or
when unexpected company comes.
Eggs fresh from the nest, gathered
as soon as possible after being laid,
are best for preserving. When only
one day old they will be almost equal
ly satisfactory, but should not be put
down" after they have been kept
three or more days. Best results have
been obtained by the United States
Department of Agriculture by using
one part water glass to nine parts
of water.

 At North Grosyenordale the large mills are running full time under wage decrease put in effect some weeks ago. Previous to that time there was a period of part-time em- ployment by the hundreds of opera tives and when the wage scale was lowered there was 10 expression of dissatisfaction among the employees.
 So far as can be learned there Is no wage cut in any of the other mills of this section under consideration.
 As already stated the big plant of the Grosvenordale Company Is in full operation. Coming down the Quine- baug river 1t is found that the Beach mont Worsted Company. Mechanics vile. Is also running full time. Get ting into Putnam the Adams Manu- featuring is running full when water conditions permit.
 At the old Manhasset plant Powdrel < Alexander. Inc, are working ex. perimentally in the manufacture of rhea products and the Perkins, Strongman Company has begun opera tions in it's manufacture of fancy cotton cloth, on Church street.
 As far as can be learned there is no immediate prospect of the re- sumption of operations by the Put nam Manufacturing Company.
 The Putnam Woolen and the Waterman Worsted Company are showing an increased output and the silk thread industry is looking bright CT as national prosperity appears on the horizon.
