and the justice dipped his pen and
made an entry in his big record
book.
Mr.. Hallinan asked whether anv
money received from Ruth and not
accounted for was spent for non
business matters.
Yes De Marigny conceded.
What is the significance of this?"
asked Sir Oscar.
Il am trying TO show the way of
living of the accused" quietly Mr.,
Hallinan explained
Asks About Chaperone.
M. Hallinan asked about Georgi-
ana de Rapp. who with her husband
accompanied De Marigny and Nancy
on a trip to California before they
were married.
She was only lS or 49, said
De Marigny, referring to Mrs. De
Rapp's age.
She could not be considered a
chaperone?" Mr. Hallinan asked.
NO. replied De Marigny.
After you divorced Ruth YOU con-
tlnued TO live with her?" inquired
the attorney general and Nj. Higgs
was on his feet 10 object. But the
justice upheld the question. saving
1t was designed to show relationship
and not character.
We were divorced at Miami in
March. 1940.' said De Marigny. "anC
I continued to live with her until the
end of the year
In his questioning. Mr.. Hallinan
frequently would say: ON vouI
oath. tell US.
Mr.. Hallinan wanted to know
whether De Marigny used | uth's
money to take Nancy to California
No. it was my money" said De
Marigny.
Did you ask the permission of
the OaEes parents to marry their
daughter?"
No. I old not"
Defense Objects to Letter.
I put 1t to YOU that you married
her two days after she reached legal
age because you knew you could not
get their consent
That is not so"
In the questioning about DE
Marlgny's finances. the witness had
SAID that he easily could make q
per cent profit, or about $500 tc
II 900 monthly tS2l00 to $4,000
from his chicken farm.
Mr.. Hallinan had a letter handed
to De Marigny.
rs this the letter Nancy wrote ia
her mother?' he demanded.
Mr.. HiggS objected. and the ius-
tce ordered the letter returned to
the attorney general.
DO you mind if I read ito" asked
De Marlgny. and he took the letter
and glanced through the contents.
The question of the date of the
letter arose. De Marigny said it was
written just before Nancy went to
West Palm Beach last spring for
treatment of a mouth ailment.
Mr.. Hallinan read from the letter:
MY whole system feels poisoned
I feel awful
Mr.. Hallinan brought this out be-
cause De Marigny testified yesterday
, that Nancy was in good health after
an operation.
Maybe this was written before
the operation,' explained the wit
ness.

in the non-acid class, to which most
of them belong. Mr.. Botulinus is
hard to destroy except by extreme
heat-which the pressure cooker
can give as most vegetables are
processed at an above-boiling point,
240 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let me 60 on record as saying
use the pressure cooker If you pos
sibly can. Chances Of your being
able to buy one are slim, but per-
haps there's neighbor or friend or
a local canning center which will
give you the means of having one.
If it's absolutely impossible to OBJ
tain pressure cooker, do non-acid
vegetables by the boiling water
bath. It takes much longer to proc
ess the vegetables, but don't skimp
a minute of it, if you would be
successful.
Processing Foods
Processing times have been care
fully tested and cannot be short
ened. Follow them to the letter to
get results. Processing may be
done in various ways, and it is inn
portant to select the one best suited
to the food you are putting up.
g "A pressure cooker gives you the
greatest degree of safety in canning
non-acid vegetables for it permits
the greatest degree of heat to pene-
trate the jar and thus destroy
botulinus. To use the pressure
cooker, prepare the product, pre-
cook it and pack carefully in ster-
ilized jars. Adjust cap. Prepare
pressure cooker by pouring hot
water into the bottom of the cooker
up to the level of the rack. Place
filed jars on rack, allowing for suf-
icient circulation of water around
them. Be sure jars do not touch.
Place top on pressure cooker and
clamp on tightly. Leave pet cock
open ITO minutes to exhaust all
steam in cooker, otherwise you will
not get correct pressure. After all
steam is exhausted, close pet-cock
and let pressure mount to desired de-
gree, then turn down heat, and
maintain pressure exactly or liquid
will be drained from jars if pressure
is allowed to fluctuate.
When processing time is up, re-
move cooker from heat, let pressure
reach zero, then remove lid, SO
steam does not hit you when cooker
is opened. Set jars on several thick
ness of cloth or paper, and let cool,
without inverting.
Hot Water Bath.
A large, deep vessel with a tight
fitting cover is best for making this
type Of Gamer. Use a big kettle, a
lard can, a deep well cooker with
galvanized wire or rack at the bot
tom of it to hold the jars one-hah
inch from the bottom of the Gamer.
Before putting jars in Gamer, have
water boiling brisxly. If the jars
lower the temperature and it stops
boiling when they're submerged, do
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-07-23

vegetables and fruits before work
ing will get rid of bacteria which
cling in the soil.
Unclean jars can work havoc with
your canning effort. Best remedy
for this is washing jars thoroughly
in clean soapy suds and then scald-
ing, and laying the jars inverted on
several thicknesses Of clean towel
until ready to use. Lids should also
be sterilized.
Sealing.
Seal the cap according to the prin-
ciple on which it was made. A self
sealing cap seals by vacuum Gre
ated by the cooling of the contents
of the jar, and the screw band does
not need tightening after processing.
Zinc caps and rubber bands should
be frightened.
Can for Health.
Fruits and vegetables are known
to be rich source of health-giving
vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A
for example, so extremely essential
to children and adults alike, is found
in large quantities of certain fruits
and vegetables. Vitamin A promotes
growth; it helps to prevent eye dis
eases; it helps guard against infec-
tons; it helps prevent night blind
ness; it aids in the normal func-
tioning of glands; it increases the
life span. From experimental stud
les it appears that if child, during
the years from 3 to 10 is fed very
large amounts of vitamin A, he will
be less susceptible to the usual chill
dren's diseases. A growing child
requires 5000 International Units Of
vitamin A daily; an adult 5000 to
5000 daily.

not count processing time until the
water boils.
It's especially important to make
certain there's plenty of water in
the boiling water bath. There should
be enough to come two inches above
the jars. If water boils out during
processing, add some boiling water
from teakettle on the range.
Canning Procedure.
Use the table given at the head OF
this column for guiding you in pre-
cooking and processing vegetables.
The ideal way of proceeding with
your canning is as follows:
First, before you even start cam
ming, get jars ready by washing

Lynn Says:

What to Do: Make rationing
work by using fresh fruits and
vegetables for canned whenever
possible. To save money, use
seasonal produce generously.
In main dishes that call for to-
matoes or tomato juice, use fresh
tomatoes when in season, put up
home canned foods, or substitute
brown gravy.
Save and store excess water
from vegetables in a covered con-
tainer and use for fiavoring soups,
stews and gravies.
Omit chill sauce and catsup In
recipes unless you have the home
canned variety. Chopped green
pepper and relishes add pep to
salads and sandwich filings with
out taking ration points.
Cooked dressings or sour cream
dressings will help save your US
ing too much oil for salad dress
ings.
Save every ounce of extra fat
from meat. Use it for baking or
frying, or give It to the butcher (

nesses of clean towel near your
stove so that you have them on hand
when canning.
Prepare vegetables by washing
thoroughly and then cutting or pre-
pairing as for table. Precook, ac-
cording to table. Pack in sterile
jars and process for required time.
Set jars to cool, after processing
on several thicknesses of towel or
newspaper, away from drafts. Let
cool for "a hours. If using a self
sealing lid with screw band, re-
move screw band and use it over
again. Test the jars by tapping
gently on lid. If you get a high
ringing note, the jar is sealed and
may be stored.
Reasons for Sp0ilage.
Spoilage reasons are many and
may be traced to any part of the
canning procedure. Sometimes it is
easier to avoid failures if you know
what causes certain types of spoil
age.
If fruit or vegetables are over
ripe, sterilization is difficult as bac-

according to the home service de-
partments of fruit jar manufac turers.
This cap consists Of a metal band,

The next step is to place the rub
Der around the projection on the bot

then be placed so that the rubber lies
between it and the top edge Of the
jar. All jars on which top-seal clos
ures, either glass or metal, are used
must have Smooth-top edges.
The band is then applied tightly
