The newer method of canning fruits
and vegetables makes use Of the oven
instead of the water bath to which We
all become accustomed In the strenuous
canning campaigns carried on during
and Just after the war
The advantages OF oven canning are
many. In the first place, 1t is much
simpler to use the oven heat than to
have TO bother with a large sterilizer
or kettle of boiling water However,
to be successful one must have an oven
whose heat can be carefully controlled
This may be done either by an auto
matte temperature device such as Is
found ON many of the modern gas and
electric ranges or by the Use OF an oven
thermometer More care must be ex-
ercised in this case TO keep the heat at
the required temperature.
Select ripe. firm fruit. Wash pick
over and prepare for canning as usual;

apples. etc; prick plunns, clean berries,
slice rhubarb. etc. Prepare sugar

either thick, thin or medium strip,
this depending on the tartness of the
fruit Most of the Summer fruits can
be canned with medium strip, which Is
made by boiling together for five min

THOSE HAWKS

Most women however arrange the
days menu. No one Is as familiar
with the tastes and appetites of the
family as the wife and mother Hers
is the sometimes thankless effort to
inject variety into the meals. The
breakfast menu is not so difficult be-
cause the men of the family seldom de-
sire or expect change In their morn
ing repast. and unless she has guests
for luncheon that meal is nnimportant.
1t Is the evening menu that stares
the average housewife In the eye and
causes her many anxious moments. In
her anxiety she may seize newspaper
advertisements or visit her favorite
shops to see what is new or may appeal
to her hungry family
This season of the year, although not
calculated to cause one to desire to
overeat, provides the most attractive
display of fruits and vegetables. Fruits
In particular are Summer food
Moreover they are nourishing An
apple day may keep the doctor away
and so do peaches and pears. There
are some splendid looking varieties OF
fruit In the stores and markets.
