Millinery Types Are Varied

The little shape in the oval TO the
right above whose brim assumes a
smart irregularity dipping jauntily to
the right side, is tremendously smart.
1t is a ballibuntl straw, this being
one of the most successful straws of
the season, sharing honors as it has
with similar exotic types including
sisol, bakou and other Iine-like eff
fectS.
One of the most charming entrants
into the millinery realm is the little
hat of lace. The one in the oval to
the left is cloche and there are hun
dreds and hundreds of lace types SIM
liar to this, some in tinted lace, others
of black chantilly. In fact the wee
thin black hair shape covered smooth
ly with black lace has registered as
a leading nidseasOn type.
Ingenious handwork is lavished on
the cloche centered below, and this
represents certain trend which is
heartily indorsed by the mode. The
feather turban in the final oval is
important, because 1t is said that its
vogue is assured for early autumn.
In Paris the feather toque in lovely
pastel shades has been having very
successful run during the summer.
This enthusiasm for feathers has also
manifested itself in novelty trimmings
on felt and straw shapes. This vogue
will be emphasized for fall.

Bulletin 1471-F, Canning Fruits and
Vegetables at Home" are now used
throughout the country. In this bull
letin it is recommended that only fruits
and tomatoes be canned by the water
bath method. For all nonacid vege-
tables the steam Gamer only should be
used. For most products is also rec
commended what is called the "hot
pack" That is, the fruit or vegetable
to be canned is brought to the boiling
point on the stove, or boiled for about
five minutes, and Immediately packed
in the jars or tins which are then
sealed and processed the required
length of time as given for that prod
uct in the time table. By this means
the length of time required to bring
the material at the center of the can
to the required temperature is con-
siderably shortened, so the processing
time is cut down and better product
results.

Live Poultry for
Roadside Trade


Paper sacks can be used to good
advantage in selling live poultry d.
rect to the consumer who stops at the
roadside market. Tie the feet of the
fowl and tear hole In the bottom Of
the sack about the size of a silver
dollar.
Place the bird in the sack with the
head sticking through the hole and
then take second string and tie the
opening to the sack around the birds
legs.
The legs stick outside but the bird
cannot kick or flop. 1t can be carried
under the arm of the buyer without
risk of soiling the clothes. There is
no danger of finding dirt in the bot
tom of the car. This method of sack
ing the birds is also useful when poul-
try is sold live weight on city markets.

American Demand for
Reindeer Meat GroUs

Sale of Alaskan reindeer meat to
American meat-eaters in increasing
quantities is reported by the Interior
department. Several thousand car
cases are brought into the country
every year, and the meat may be
bought almost anywhere in the
Northwest, and occasionally is found
on eastern bills of fare. One Nome
(Alaska) company, recently reorgan-
lied with a 100000 capital. owns
$4,000 head, and devotes all its at
tention to exporting meat. There are
about 100000 reindeer in Alaska, of
which the Eskimos own about two
thirds. The reindeer industry is one
of Alaska's greatest.

Home canning is one of the impor-
tant phases of food preservation as
taught by extension workers among
farIh women. 1t is imperative for any
garden surplus to be saved for winter
use in the household, in regions where
fresh vegetables and fruits are not
easily obtained during several months
In many localities home demonstration
agents encourage the planning and
planting of the garden with definite
amount of canning in mind. "a can
ming budget" it is sometimes called.
Farm women also sell their canned
products, and it is important to help
them To make their canned goods uni
form and dependable, and In conform
ity with the requirements of the law.

Is there anything better than straw
berry preserves?
Canning Hint-All preserves should
be cooked rapidly.
Clean dusty felt hats by rubbing
briskly with dry sponge.
To retain the tints in colored clothes,
wash them before they are badly soiled
Place an electric fan near an open
window in the kitchen to help remove
cooking odors.
Rubber rings for fruit Jars should
be new each year. Be sure to rinse
them in boiling water in order to re-
move the fine powder on the surface
which may impart foreign taste.

Keep Dirt Out

To keep dirt out rather than TO
have to sweep or wash 1t out Is one
way of saving effort in housekeeping.
Much dirt is blown into houses, espe-
cially in summer when windows and
doors are open, and it is to the house
keepers interest to see that the roads
about the home are oiled or at least
sprinkled, either by the community, or
by individual residents, says the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
When dust cannot be laid outside, 1t
can sometimes be stopped at the doors
and windows.

About Dustcloths

A buster should be soft and should

holds the dust better If dampened or
oiled, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Silk and
channels are excellent for use on high

be moistened by passing it through
steam; by wetting one corner of the
cloth, rolling it up, and letting il
stand for short time; or by wringing
together one dry cloth and one that
has been wrung out of water.
