Community Health
by S. R. Berenberg. N. D.

With fruits and vegetables freely and inezpen-
sively available many Greenbel housewives want
to do preserving for the winter months. Large
savings can be effected by home canning. I an sub
hitting suggestions from the Nutri ZIONIST of
the Bureau of Child Hygiene Of the State Department
Health.
MO you 'can you go along'?" she asks. "Have
you found that by careful planning you can have
abundance Of fruit and vegetables for your winter
meals? If not, try budgeting your canning that
your fruit and vegetable supply Will last until
spring. Plan the number of quarts Of each kind Of
food needed for each member Of the family; put up
is over.
etab1es include an orange or tomato, additional
serving of fruit, serving Of yellow vegetable,
or OF green leafy one and second serving of veg
etable as we'll as potato. The number of quarts of
both fruits and vegetables required for the entire
family is accordingly relatively large.
"Tomatoes, are an inexpensive source of Ntamin
viii ch helps keep the teeth and bones land
resistance to Infection. They be to advar-
tage instead of oranges, when oranges sell for
than q cents dozen. Plan then, to putu II to l6
quarts for each member Of the famil ". To be sure
you will have enough vtamin C, put up two quarts of
tomato juice in addition to the Whole tomatoes.
Sanerzraut juice is another important of Vi
tamin C.
"Green 1eafy vegetables often difficult to
buy in winter, but are necessary to our daily
diet. They furnish iron the blood building mater
ia1 and Ntamin which aids growth, resistance to
Infection, and helps US to see at night. Put up
three quarts Of greens for each person; that
number could be used if you do not have winter ka1e
turnip tops in your garden.
"Other fruits and vegetables contribute also to
our reqn rements of both vi tamins and minerals
without then not meet daily needs. For
that reason plan on canning d. quarts of vegetables
per person, such lima beans, corn, squash and
soup mixtures also u quarts Of fruit such pears,
apples, cherries, berries, peaches. In addition
can three quarts Of sauereraut per person.
"If you have family of five, your canning bud
get will be:
IS quarts Of green's for three months
90 quarts Of tomatoes for eight months
IS quarts Of cabbage lraut for three months
12O quarts Of vegetables for months use
100 quarts Of fruit for six months
10 quarts of fruit juice for six months use
"Check your rows of filled jars to be tn at
your meals during the winter will measure up'--be-
for the canning is over.n

Many Male Birds Attend
To the Domestic Duties

The females of most wild crea-
lures attend to the rearing Of the
young. With some birds the duty Of
attending to them falls entirely upon
the mothers. the males taking no
further interest in domestic duties
after the eggs are laid. But there
is one notable exception, for the
whole of the incubation of the eggs
and rearing the young falls to the
lot of the male red-necked phala-
rope, according to Oliver G. Pike,
F. z. S.. in London Tit-Bits maya
zine.
The males Of warblers and fnches
and most birds of prey do their
share Of feeding the young, and they
take turns on the eggs. In the past
the handsome mallard drake de-
serted his mate directly the nest
was made, but in recent years there
have been many instances Of the
males remaining with their mates
to help look after the young.
In other branches Of nature there
are remarkable instances of the
males taking over the whole Of the
domestic duties. In Chile, a crea-
ture known as Darwin's frog takes
charge Of the eggs directly they are
laid by the female. He transfers
them to a pouch in his gullet, a
special cavity which appears to
have been made for this purpose,
and here the eggs remain until the
frogs appear. With most species the
young 60 through several stages,
appearing first as tadpoles, but with
Darwin's frog the babies, when
ready, hop out of their parents
mouth.

'Purebred' Descriptive
OF Full-Blooded Horses

The word thoroughbred is often,
even in we'll informed circles, erro-
neously used in referring to full
blooded breed of horses-when the
correct descriptive term is pure
bred, writes Capt. Maxwell M. Cor
pening in the Chicago Tribune.
Thoroughbred, rightly used, means
a definite breed Of horse which is
commonly known as the race horse.
The history Of the thoroughbred is
well known. The breed descends
from the Arab, the product Of 200
years of breeding for speed and size.
The breeding still goes on.
Not generally known is the fact
that it costs much more to raise an
offspring from a large, fast horse
than from a small, inferior one.
Thoroughbreds have a general range
in size Of from 14.2 to 17.2 hands (ths
hand being 4 inches) and 900 to
1900 pounds in weight. Color varies
greatly.
The chief uses to which a thor
oughbred is put are in the field Of
sports-racing, polo, and hunting.
Usually it is much higher strung
than common horse and therefore
more easily spoiled.
Because Of the long struggle to
improve the Arab for speed, faults
in conformation are frequently
found in thoroughbreds. Common
est Of these are small bones and
not enough heart girth. Like their
Arab ancestors, thoroughbreds ex.
ert little effort in motion, giving a
comfortable ride. They have great
strength, and their greatest asset
-endurance-has given rise to the
expression, "A clean thoroughbred
never quits"
