SHOULD BE
CANNED QUICKLY

Many garden vegetables are now be-
ing canned by the thoughtful house
wife, in order to help provide well Sc
lected meals during the winter months.
AS canned vegetables, if not properly
prepared, are particularly subject to
spoilage and bacillus botulinus, a
deadly food poisoning, certain precau-
tons should be observed in their
preservation, says Mis- Esther Selleg,
extension nutritionist, Washington
State College.
Freshness is essential in all can
ming but is especially imperative in the
case of vegetables. 1.-TWO hours from
the garden to the jar" is an excellent
rule to follow as it aids materially in
preventing the engine reaction which
takes place soon after the vegetable
is removed from the garden. These
engines eventually bring about the
spoilage of the food. The work should
be done rapidly as the engines are
easily killed by heat in their early
stages.
Yeast and molds frequently cause
food spoilage, but are not as difficult
to destroy as bacteria Many forms of
bacteria are able to assume spore
| or protective form when conditions are
unfavorable to their development. AS
bacteria are much harder to kill in the
spore form, they must receive consid-
Grafton in canning.
Since number of cases of food
poisoning have been traced directly to
bacillus botulinus, particular care must
, be taken in canning non-acid vege-
tables and meats. The United States
department of agriculture recommends
the use of the steam pressure cooker
because temperature high enough to
kill the spores of bacteria may be
easily obtained. There is no assurance
that the spores are killed in the wa
ter bath. It is also desirable to can
vegetables in pint jars because the
heat penetration is much better.
Home canned string beans have
caused more outbreaks of botulism
than any other vegetable. Even when
canned with carrots and peas by the
cold pack process, string beans are a
potential menace to health and life.
They should always be boiled from 10
to 80 minutes before serving. Death
from botulism has been known to oc-
cur merely from tasting of jar to
see whether it was spoiled.
Unfortunately many recipes were is
sued before the present day knowledge
of botulism, and it is dangerous to
follow these old practices unless pos
tive that they are safe. If in doubt,
up-to-date information may be re-
ceived by getting in touch with your
home demonstration agent, or writing
to the Extension Service, Pullman
Washington.

We will be in Panama COLON three
hours only while the cargo of coffee
is being loaded. During that time we
hope to take a car and be driven
around so that we may see as much as
possible in so short time. We will
see no other land on our way to Eng
land except perhaps glimpse Of
Porto Rico. Frankly, shall be glad
when we arrive in London. Walter is
thoroughly enjoying himself though,
and I like to see him do so.

training. After dog is trained, he
should go through the commands for
anyone who gives them properly.
The first and biggest lesson you
can teach him is obedience, founded
upon full confidence In you as his
master All the rest will take care
OF themselves as matter of course.
Causes of failure to secure obedi-
ence from dog after weeks of train
ing may be set down as two. The
act has not been repeated often
enough or 1t has been repeated too
many times on the same day. Two
or three commands a day are suffi-
cient. But stop work only ON sue.
essful performance
dog does not know the difference
in the meaning Of words. After many
trials and much work he can be taught
to do so and so when a certain word
is spoken. But the meaning of the
word itself is beyond him. A word
spoken in kind way will make him
glad and wag his tail; the same word
spoken in rough way will make him
run in fear.
Another cause Of poor control over
il dog is failure to reward him. A
dog likes to be praised and feel thai
he is appreciated. A kind word, pal
on the head will .sually go about
as far as anything else. A bit of such
food as Ribbed biscuit, given at the
end of each successful act helps him
to feel that he is appreciated.

SocialAf and ubNotes

Work on the 1892 study programs
of the Woman's Club has been COM
pleted and the committee in charge ex-
poets to turn the copy over to the
printers next week.
1T is with the idea of promulgat-
ing a better understanding of our
neighbors across the seas, said Mrs.
Alex Parke, chairman of the program
committee, that we have arranged for
a number of our meetings this year
to be devoted to travelogues, in which
we shall attempt to bring out some
of the more interesting customs and
manners of life among foreign peo-
pies. These programs will also embrace
study of the music, art and litera-
ture of various countries"
A new and interesting feature in
troduced this year, Mrs. Parke said,
will be a debate on one of the live
subjects of the day.

When Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Bradley re-
turned home after the show Saturday
evening, Mr. Bradley, at least, had the
surprise of his life when the turning
on of the house lights revealed eight
of his neighbors sitting quietly in the
dark waiting to remind him that the
date marked the anniversary of his
birth. A program of old time games
and card playing, with a delicious
lunch served later by the sponsor of
the evening, Mrs H. H. Smith, made
the hours pass so pleasantly and SO
quickly that it was late indeed before
anyone thought of going home. A
feature of the occasion was the pre-
sentation of the birthday bouquet to
the guest of honor by Mrs H. H..
Hiatt. Mr. Bradley was also the re-
cipient of beautiful birthday cake
especially baked for him by Mrs j. H.
Cole. Those present were: Mr.. and
Mrs. H. H. Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. p.

Demanded Results

Pragmatism is the philosophical doc
trine that the only test of the truth
of human cognitions or philosophical
principles is their practical results;
that is, their workableness. The word
was introduced in this connection
about 1875 by the American logician,
G. S. Pierce, and was popularized by
William James, whose ..'Pragmatism"
was published in 1907.

If any reader of the Spokesman
should like Graham cake, give you
here recipe which quite often
make:
First, take one cup of sugar, white,
and butter one half cup; together mix
them add an egg, and lightly beat it
up. Then take one cup of pure, sweet
milk, and well dissolve therein tea
spoonful of soda so it's trace can not
be seen.
Then of flour you may put in three
even teacupsful; little nutmeg, if you
please, or lemon peel is nice. When
you have stirred it well around, then
quickly pour the whole into your but
tered pan, my dear, which ready
stands the while; and if you give it a
nice bake, I'm sure it viii make you

Wednesday evening by host of

Mrs Matteson was just about to pre-

noticed a string of cars coming up the
road, and few moments later saw
them turn into her home driveway.
The occasion for the visit was all I'M
suspected until the guests offered con-
gratulations. A wonderful time was
spent by all in playing cards, which
with piano and vocal music and dane
ing were the diversion of the even
ing, after which delicious lunch was
served. After everyone wishing their
host and hostess many happy returns
of the day. the visitors departed,

Monday to complete the task of

City," home of the vaunted Bear
cats.
Muncie, however, didn't seem to
be very excited over the tourna-
ment and nobody seemed to care
much. Raymond (Pete) jolly, coach
of the Bearcats, was in class, SUI
perintendent Frank Allen was in In
dianapolis looking after tickets, and
principal L. S. Martin was tearing
his hair, answering phone calls for
tickets.
The team wasn't in shape for the

on getting rid of those colds.
