SHARING PRESSURE COOKERS.

ldnd)
The word "hoarder' has an un-
savory association closely resem-
bling the term Stacker" and "yel-
low of World War I.
Few of us would care to have the
term applied to us, but there are still
many so-called patriotic American
citizens sitting secure and safe in
their own home with pressure cook
ers gathering dust in attics or base
mentS.
1t has probably just been an over
sight on their part of the impor-
tance that cookers can play in pre-
serving nonacid vegetables and
meats.
Let's remember that We are In
volved in total war, one in which
the security and happiness of every
man, woman and child is at stake
Maintaining a high nutritional
standard is one of the big objectives
of our Government and it is only
by canning the surplus nonacid
foods that this standard can be OBJ
tanned.
Homemakers who are largely re-
sponsible for the preservation of
life giving foods have a real contri-
button to make.
With the scarcity Of pressure cook
ers, those owning them are urged to
share them with their neighbors.
Every jar of vegetables. fruits,
juices and meats canned for home
consumption means releasing that
much more food for our brave boys
on the battle front
Place your cooker in immediate
service. You may not receive cita-
ton or decoration but you will win
the lifelong respect and esteem of
neighbors and friends. This is a
critical time when every one is
obligated to help his neighbor.
Pressure cookers are ammunition,
so pass them on and on and on.
FUCHSIA PLANT.
REQUESTED BY A. G.. Bethesdd)
I have a fuchsia plant and there
is something forms on the leaves,
looks like white mold. There is
also a very small insect (White)
smaller than a gnat on it. The
leaves are falling off and 1 am afraid
if something isn't done to rid it of
this condition the plant will die.
Can you offer me any suggestions?
