And here is a step by step process
for canning beans, using a pressure
cooker.
l. Beans are brought nonstop
from garden to kitchen for thoro
washing Use plenty of water and
wash several times. Lift vegetables
out of water-that leaves soil in sink
or pan bottom. A half bushel - IA
pounds - of beans makes Z to 9
quarts. Precook (blanch) beans for
minutes in boiling water (begin
timing after water resumes boilingl.
Do quart at time. This shrinks
the beans and makes them pliable
for packing. Use wire basket in
big kettle Of water or use square
of cheesecloth, corners tied.
2. Hot beans, go into hot jar
(washed and scalded). Don't crowd,
but poke down to fill gaps. Keep
moving fast-don't let filled jars
stand around Measure l teaspoon
salt into each jar Check to see jar
is not overcrowded, and that there is
space for expansion during cooking.
Here a funnel keeps beans under
control.
3. Fill each quart jar as it is pack
ed with hot cooking water from the
beans. Then all vitamins and miner
ais get canned too. Fill to within
inch of top.
4. Take bubbles out of each jar
by running knife down the sides.
Need more water now? Fill if neces-
sary to keep within l inch of top.
Then follow your jar-cap manufac-
turer's directions. Now jars are ready
for pressure cooker. Place jars on
rack with 2 to inches of water
in cooker. Read directions for using
your pressure cooker. Put on cover
Exhaust air from cooker-leave pet
cock open for a 10-minute steady
flow of steam before closing. Start
timing when gauge reaches specified
pressure-for beans 10 pounds for AZ
minutes. Keep pressure constant tt
avoid loss of liquid on jars.
5. After 40 minutes slide cooker
away from heat. Stand by till gauge
registers 0, then wait two or three
more minutes. Open petcock slowly
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1946-08-15

No more steam? Remove cover -
tilt top toward you to keep steam
away from your face. Allow jars
to stand 2 minutes with towel over
cooker top. Remove jars one by one
with folded towel.
Place on another folded towel away
from drafts, open windows, or fans.
Don't lift by tops. After IL hours,
test seal; store in cool spot
Tired of canning? Alright, let's
stop and have a cold glass of lemon
ade and call it a day. Next week
we will talk about canning tomatoes
for they too are at their peak.

With the markets fairly bursting
with such luscious peaches, it is
hard to get ones mind on any thing
else but canning this delicious fruit
and also using it in the many other
ways, such as scrumptious desserts,
salads, etc. Have you tried them
baked? Its very simple, just wash
and break open the clear seed type
of peaches, place open side up in a
shallow pan, sprinkle with sugar
and butter Cor substitute) and bake
until tender. Don't peel them.
Here are some suggestions about
canning peaches, laid down by a
canning expert, which, followed step
by step, will give you perfect re-
suits.
/. Loosen peach skins with
quick dip in boiling water, then i'm
merse in cold water. Peel peaches;
halve; remove pit and drop into cold
salt water e teaspoons to quartz.
Rinse in cold water. This bath keeps
fruits lovely color, doesn't affect
flavor. A crate of peaches packs 8 or
9 quarts 6 to 8 peaches to a quartz.
Pack jars carefully Rubber goes
on. Oars, rubbers, and lids are wash
ed in rich suds, rinsed, and left in
hot water before you start scalding
the peaches.) Slip halves gently into
jar, rounded side up and overlapping.
Easy if you use a wooden-spoon
handle or fork to guide the pack.
Sure, a peach pit in each jar for
luck and extra flavor.
3. Sirup next. Measure sugar,
then add water: l cup sugar to 2
cups water is about right You'll need
l to IL cups strip for each quart.
Cook strip minutes. Fill jar Us
ing corn strip? You'll need l cup
corn strip and 2 cups sugar to each
cups of water. Slip knife down
jar sides to free air bubbles. Add
Oh ny W W1Il44A II Hill VI IOP' wipe
off top of jar and rubber-one tiny
bit of peach will prevent seal. For
these hghtning-type jars, click bail
over top, leave side wire up so jars
aren't sealed.
4. Lower jars carefully into the
water bath. Water is just warm-not
boiling or jars may break. Cover.
High heat now. When water boils,
begin counting time - process Is
minutes. Jars should be up one inch
above the bottom on a rack and
water must cover tops one inch.
5. Time up? Dip out little water
or lift rack so you can reach jars
to lift out. One at time, place jars
on folded towels - no cold surface!.-
and click down side wire to COM
plete seal. Keep hot jars away from
draft. After IL hours, test seal; store
in cool, dark place,
To HOt-Pack Peaches: Remove
skins and pits as above. Drop peaches
into hot strip. Place peaches over
low heat until thoroly heated. Pack
hot fruit in hot jars; cover with
boiling juice or strip. Process in
boiling-water bath 20 minutes-see
directions above.

Dry Plug of Ear Wax
 Causes Elephant Cough

plaint," he said. Hearing poor and head rumbles ever since I took a bath Saturday night"
 Ear canal was almost completely opstructed by @ plug of hardened ear wax. This came away piece meal with gentle irrigation of the ear with 8 few quarts of warm water. In removing 8 piece that remained on the upper rear wall of the outer ear canal, the slightest touch of the instrument there set of 1t of elephant coughing. A branch of the pneumogastric nerve, that supplies lungs and bronchial tubes, supplies sensation to that part of the ear canal.
 That was the end of the ele- phant cough and of the deafness and rumbling noises.
 Moral: A young person with a persistent cough doesn't necessarily have tuberculosis.
 Head noises and autophony (in- creased resonance of ones own voice, breath sounds or heart beat) dizziness, and in some cases, harsh coughing, are common symptoms of foreign body in ear canal or the accumulation of 8 plug of ear wax.

On that great day in American medicine when I opened an office in Penn Yan-Penn Tan, like Ro- chester, is suburb of Canandaigua and surely you know by now what makes Canandaigua famous - the sign painter was SO anxious to help that he painted on the door Dr. Wm. Brady, Surgeon - and then, having little room left, he added in small letters And Physician. Before realized what was frightening people away, a number of prospec- tive patients had approached the office, noticed that I was Surgeon, and veered right across the street for bottle of sassaparilly or Dr. Bunco's Blood Purifier.
 One of my first patients-and he was patient = was a lively young grocery clerk whose sole complaint was cough-an elephant cough, as he described 1t. It had developed suddenly without any apparent in- disposition, and he coughed hard every little while, and go no benefit from cough syrup
 If I examined the boys chest and throat once I did so a dozen times in the next week or two, but the elephant cough kept merrily on, and could find no trouble at all
 But Bill didn't quit. Whenever business was quiet in the store he would run up, peel his shirt and have another examination-I avoid ed any mention of it, but probably he surmised what I was looking for. I didn't find it. I can't re- member now-and I'll bet Bill can't either-whether admitted that I hadn't the slightest notion as to what ailed him, but it all came out in the wash.

 Today's hand is studied two ways First, South plays it at four hearts. West opens the jack of clubs, South wins, then plays the ace of hearts, looking annoyed when the suit does not split. Now he plays the spade towards dummy. Obviously West will not go up with the spade ace be- cause declarer then could discard two losing diamonds on the king and queen of spades. If West ducks, declarer loses no spade tricks, but must lose heart, two diamonds and a club.
 Next MT. Simon assumes that North is the declarer at four hearts, East opens the king of clubs and play continues as before Not many players, even experts, would refuse to go in with the ace of spades in this case, yet 1t is exactly the same situation as before.
