Dorothy Dix Says >>>
A Good Wife Is Worth Far More
Than She Costs Her Husband

A statistician has figured out that
the wife of the average man, what
with her board. clothes, doctors
bills, beauty treatment, trips, pre-
sents and one thing and another,
costs him $4,000, provided they
live together for 80 or 40 years.
These figures seem to put wives in
the luxury class, along with yachts
and private planes, and appear to
explain why so many young men
steer clear of matrimony. They feel
they can't afford it with wives
quoted as high as they are. But
in this they are mistaken, and the
best paying investment that any
youth ever makes Is when he

who is lazy and extravagant she is
a total loss and isn't worth $4,000
or so cents. But if he marries a
woman who is intelligent and thrifty
and industrious, she not only
doesn't cost him a penny, she is
money in the pocket. For If any
human being ever earns his or her

Furthermore, that a wife is worth

after they get married.

"The other type of enamel finish

This enamel has deeper gold color
and a brighter finish than the G

OF berries, cherries. cranberries,
pimientos, plums,, pumpkin and
squash.
while planning the number of
jars or cans you'll need it's well to
remember that certain sizes are
recommended for certain foods
When there is a thick mixture OF
food in a large container it's hard
to get the center heated to the
temperature necessary for killing all
the organisms that cause spoilage.
And by the time the center portion
is hot that near the outer surface
is overlooked and mushy. So it's
best to use pint-size jars or No. 2
cans for corn. peas and snapbeans.
Other vegetables, fruits and meats
may be canned in pint or quart jars
and No. 2, 21a or 3 cans.
Besides the jars or cans, there
are other pieces of equipment that
must be ready to use in canning.
Many are kept handy for other
Kitchen uses, such as shallow pans,
collander. quart and cup measures,
ladle or dipper, long-handled spoons,
pairing knives, cutting knife, scis-
sors, household scales. vegetable
brush and thermometer.
"Other pieces of equipment, used
only for canning, may be stored
away between seasons. Check the
condition of these pieces-large
preserving kettles wire basket, jar
funnel, jar tongs and the processing
equipment-before using them.
Fruits and other acid foods are
usually processed in a boiling water
bath. For this a wash boiler, bucket,
or any large container is satisfactory
if it has tight cover and is large
enough to hold convenient number
of cans and permit covering them
with l to 2 inches of water. A
steamer or oven can also be used for
processing. And then there is the
open kettle method that calls for
large kettles to cook the fruit or
tomatoes, and also to sterilize the
jars
For canning vegetables, other
than tomatoes, a steam pressure
Gamer is necessary. Vegetables do
not contain much acid, so they must
be processed under steam pressure In
order to obtain the temperature
needed to kill the organisms that
cause spoilage. If you have a pres
sure cooker, it's good plan to have
the guage checked at the beginning
of the canning season. The best way
is to send it to the company for
checking, but your home demon
stration agent can also do the
checking"

Answer:
Have you some prejudice against
paper? It fills all of your require
ments and then some. You may
get plates of all sizes, napkins large
and heavy, cups and even forks and
spoons. There are covered bowls
in which you may transport salads
and juicy preparations. These may
be bought in the paper stores in
large quantities, very inexpensively
and from the point of view Of trans
portation, they are light to carry tc
the picnic and may be buried OF
burned so that the "carry back" is
nil. Plates and cups are waterproof
these days and tablecloths and nap
kins may be purchased in the heavy
quality so they do not tear easily
With paper available I would not
care to invest in equipment that had
to be counted, washed, ironed and
wiped and which would make picnics

Manners
Of the
Moment

Too much politeness about radios
is sometimes foolish.
Some one in the room turns on
the radio. The. others politely refrain
from remarks. Some even listen.
AS time goes on, the music changes.
Perhaps the one who turned the
program on has left the room. But
each person left in the room is
under the impression that one Of the
other persons really is listening to
the program. And the machine plays
on and on.
Actually, the chances are that no
one in the room is listening, and
that no one wants to listen. Nerves
are being rapidly frayed. But every
one is too polite to say anything
about turning off the radio.
It doesn't pay to be that polite.
Some one should work up his courage
to say, May I turn the radio OFF,"
It would tighten tho atmosphere

not harm your cushions, especially
if you wipe them off soon afterward.
However, I do not think any fabric
can stand the series of damp days
we have in Washington during the
summer, when everything soaks up
moisture and mildew starts. My
advice would be to take in the
cushions at night, and keep them
In during the damp days, enjoying
their freshness when the sun shines

must also watch your painted fur
niture when the weather is damp,

LII.
Answer: It does not seem prac-

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have a collection of eight French
costume prints that are very nice
and which I would like to use.
Should they be used all together or
in groups? Can you suggest methods
of mounting them? I would like to

MRS. D. S. A.
Answer:
You might frame them in match
ing natural wood frames and use
them in a panel above a long sofa
or in groups of four, one above the
other. You may introduce strong
color by cutting mats out of blotting
paper and using the prints around
a mirror over fireplace. They would
also be lovely pasted on plain wall

and then lacquered to preserve them
Any Of these you may do yourself
with little trouble and great satis-
faction.
