Wide Interest In League Luncheon
 | N ext w eek

An affair of statewide interes is being arranged by the Alabama League of Women Voters, on the 17th of Sep tember when at a luncheon they will lay plans for the purpose of getting out the vote this fall.

tiophthalmic (vitamin Al properties of cod liver oil withstand such vigorous treatment as chemical saponification re- quires, according to several recent in- vestigators. Vitamin B has been sub jected to boiling in acid mediums with out destruction, though it is susceptible to deterioration by the action of alkalis and heat. Many canned and dried vegetables, milks, and other heat ed food products have been tested for vitamin B. with positive results. The upshot of these comments is that, in the absence of alkaline conditions such as are produced by household baking soda and when oxygen is excluded, as it is in an atmosphere of steam, moder- ate pressure cooking is not likely to destroy all the vitamin potencies of foods; in fact, most of them are likely to be kept more or less intact. Pres sure cooking renders some of the food constituents more readily digestible. This is notably true of starches and of certain proteins. Heating with water has been shown to enhance greatly the use of seed proteins, notably those of beans. Tough" meats are disintegrated ments of fibers that change the tex by pressure cooking into smaller frag- ture" of the meat. The ready destruc- tion of bacteria through heat under pressure requires no discussion. Final ly, it is not advisable, in the present state of our knowledge, to encourage de- pendence on a diet so largely composed of "processed" foods that. fresh fruits and green vegetables never enter into the the daily regimen.

THE WOMAN CITIZEN. Conducted By the Jefferson County League of Womon Voters.

All state organizations are urged to assist in the get-out-the-vote campaign that the League of Women Voters ex- poets to put on from now to Novem- Der. An important meeting has been called by the league to which all state organizations have been invited to send representatives. This meeting will be field at the Tutwiler hotel September IT. The following letter has been sent out:
 Dear President:
 As you doubtless know, in the presi- dential election of 1920, only 49 per cent of the qualified voters in the United States went to the polls. In Alabama, less than 30 per cent voted.
 These figures cannot fail to give con- cern to every local citizen, showing as they clearly do, that our state and our nation are governed by a minor ity of the qualified electors. Because we know that you and the organiza- tion which you head are deeply inter- ested in the welfare of Alabama, we ask you to meet with us on September IF, in Birmingham, to consult together

no doubt make of it an entertainment of commanding place in the early fall events. The League of Women Voters have the reputation of putting things across" Every state in the union which has a league, and they all have, is using every method within its power to get the people sufficiently interested in government to vote. The luncheon on September 17 of the allied clubs of the state is for the purpose of ex- changing suggestions as to methods and adopting the best plans for increasing the vote. The National League of Wom- en Voters is offering a large silver loving cup to the state which has the greatest per centage of increase of votes for 1924 over 1920. It is hoped that at the luncheon plans may be adopted making it possible for Ala bama to win the cup.

Most amateur garden makers fail with cauliflower because they do not feed the plants heavily enough It is impossible to get the ground too rich for cauliflower. A mulch> of decayed stable manure spread around the plants is a great help, and liquid ma nure should be supplied weekly as soon as the heart begins to form. The hearts or curds, as they are technically called, must be protected from the hot sun or they will turn green. This protec- tion is easily obtained by fastening the leaves together over the tops of the plants with raffia or a nail

Dahlias cut for the house will not keep well unless most of the leaves are removed. It is a good plan to trim. off the foliage and dip the ends Of the stems in hot water for minute or longer. The stems should then be immersed deeply in cold water. This treatment is particularly satisfactory when the flowers must be cut in the middle of the day. If Dahlias are to be shipped or to be kept long time, they should be cut at night, dipped in hot water and left in the cellar until morning.

small portion of the lighting needs
can be met. At result the nineteen
schools selected as those which have
