Are You a 'Canny' Gamer?
BY JOSEPHINE C. BOND.

Do you get 100 per cent returns
from your canning efforts? 1t isn't
always enough to do ''lots of can
ming" You may have 500 full jars
in your cellar at the end of the sea-
son, but if 100 of these leak be-
cause of cheap or old rubber rings,
you are only getting an 80 per cent
return on your labor.
One of the greatest mistakes
the housewife Gamer can make, l
have found, is to yield to the mis-
taken clerk who substitutes "un-
known brands" for advertised
brands produced by reputable
manufacturers. Substitution may
be all right at times, when an
item can be used up in a short
time. But when it comes to jar
rings-play safe-buy a recognized
brand.
There is a lot of difference in
jar rings. The rubber used in
them is compounded, or mixed,
in much the same way that the
batter for cake is mixed, and,
like cake batter, unless the recipe
is tested and the ingredients of
the best, the results will be dis
appointing. Inferior jar rings will
"check" or crack and allow air
to seep into the jars.

Diet for Healthy Child.

DR.. Julian D. Boyd in Journal Of
Pediatrics says:
''As a guide in designing the diet
of a healthy child of school age, the
following have been specified as a
desirable basic or foundation daily
intake, to which other foods may be
added: quart milk; or 2 eggs;
ounce butter; l teaspoonful cod
liver oil; orange or tomato or ap-
Pile; ! additional serving of fruit;
2 servings of vegetables. one of
fibrous nature cabbage. caulifiow-
er, celery, whole grains, spinach) /;
serving of meat, fowl, fish or liver.
Milk is the basic or foundation
food as it is not only the best source
of calcium Qime) but is also a valu-
able source of protein-the body
building food, and of the vitamins
B. and C. Vitamin B is especially
valuable for children as it promotes
growth and appetite, and is greatly
needed by nerve tissue. Vitamin
G. also promotes growth in the young
and vigor in the adult"
This foundation or basic diet as
advised by Dr. Boyd offers parents
a simple diet to follow to maintain
the health and strength of the
healthy school-age child.

Strange Facts
I Government \
. Pays Cats Q

THE familiar old proverb says,
l. "a cat may look on a king"
but there is no mention of what it
may cost the king. In England
some cats may demand their
weekly pay from his majesty S
government. There is an old Eng
lish law providing a shilling a
week for the food of each cat en-
ployed in the service of the state.
There are about two thousand cats
on the British governments pay
roll. Cats still protect granaries,
cold storage vaults, docks, work
shops, ships and stores.
1t is believed that the ancient
Egyptians domesticated and re-
vered the cat because his protec-
ton meant the difference Between
plenty and starvation. The Egyp-
tians were a grain producing peo-
pie. A plague of mice and rats
could reduce the population to
starvation. Eighteen centuries be-
fore the Christian era the cat was
domesticated in Egypt and treat
ed with respect and veneration.
When a house cat died the mem
bers of the household shaved their
eyebrows and went into mourning.
1t is commonly thought that cats
can see in the dark. This is an
erroneous idea. Their eyes are so
constructed that the pupils can
contract to mere Sits in bright
light and become large and round
in the dark. Because of the mech
anism of the eye cats can catch
rays of light too dim for the hu-
man eye to see by. Cats can see
in very faint light, but not in total
darkness.
