CANNED foods are grouped as en-
~ trees, soups, desserts and relishes.
With the fruits, vegetables, meats, fish
ana cheese that come in cans, all sorts
of cookery are possible. Canned foods
are packed where they grow-that is,
vegetables and fruits are-and so are
the freshest and best quality that can
be obtained. They are automatically
cleaned. prepared and cooked, assuring
thorough sterilization. Each part OF
che process is carefully carried out I'M
der standardized conditions. For in
stance, when making jelly it cannot
burn because it is cooked in steam
jacketed kettles; it cannot boil over
because the amount of fruit juice Is
measured and is in proportion to the
size of the kettle, and it is cooked right
because thermometer is used to regu-
late the heat.
Every year the groceryman who is at
all up to date adds new varieties OF
canned goods to his stock, novelties
either forming dish in themselves or
to be used in delicious combinations
You must know groceries to get gro
Gerry bargains. Commercial Gamers
have done big service by offering the
best quality of food at a reasonable
price the year around. 1t will be found
to be much more economical to buy
canned fruits and vegetables in guam
titles on account Of the lower price
paid and also the convenience OF such
a plan. If you have a pantry sutfl-
GENTLY large, canned foods may be kept
on shelves provided for the purpose.
The most convenient method Of placing
canned goods on the shelves is to fill
the shelves with rows, so many cans
deep, of the same fruit, vegetable or
preserve, labelling the rows of food in
stead of labelling each container.
Elaborate Dishes.
Canned foods already cooked and
ready to eat may form the basis OF
elaborate dishes which can be prepared
when there would be no time If one
had to start scrubbing, pairing and
cooking the raw food. Such dishes are
scalloped spinach, corn custard, salmon
timbales, chicken croquettes, creamed
mushrooms, roast beef in patty shells,
peach shortcake and apricot cobbler.
We can now buy chickens whole in
jelly. chicken livers trufled, sweet red
peppers in oil to use with many COM
binations a macedoine of vegetables
for planked steak or salad, beefSteaK
and onions, hot tamales, chop suey,
liver and bacon, hamburger and onions,
veal loaf, chicken loaf, ham loaf, corned
beef hash, frankfurters, chicken-liver
spread and fruit salads, all from the
can. You also can buy chilli con carne,
lobster a la NeWburg. chicken la
king, beef a la mode, Hungarian gou-
lash and chicken curry.
Corned beef may be sliced cold, deco
rated with parsley, shredded and
scrambled with eggs. or made into hash.
It is an economical way to buv for
hash as it is solid meat and furnishes
just about enough hash for meal for
Q medium sized family.
Empty half a can OF baked beans
into a baking dish. add q layer of
sliced onions, then add the rest Of the
beans Cover with strips of bacon and
heat in the oven until the bacon is crisp
and savory, or bake tiny sausages
either on top Of the beans or separately
in a pan, to be served on the beans.
In the tomato or green pepper season
I'LL these vegetables with beans from
the can and bake with bacon covering
for each vegetable If you like.
Savory for Luncheon.
A substantial savory for luncheon is
made by combining can of spaghettt
and cheese with. a can of boned chicken
or tuna fish and an onion. The meat
is left in one piece in the center, the
spaghetti around it. The onion is
either cut in halves and buried in the
spaghetti, to be removed before serving,
or it is sliced and combined with the
spaghetti
A delicious ragout is made with can
of beef, a can of vegetable soup, and q
can Of tomato soup. These are COM
bined in a baking dish and baked slow
~ Until the seaSonings are well blended.
A jar of frankfurters and sauerkraut
makes substantial meal. Arrange the
frsnkfurters on the sauerkraut in a
baking dish and bake or broil until the
meat is brown and crisp. To avoid
bursting their cases, prick the frank
furters with a fork before cooking.
Meats in sauces are tasty Tomato,
celery and asparagus soup undiluted
are already creamy and nicely seasoned
for sauce. Pea soup is thick enough
TO serve as PURGE to accompany meats.
Mackerel from cans may be arranged
on shallow baking dish and covered
with slightly buttered crumbs which
have been seasoned with salt and dry
mustard. The fish should be baked and
