certain varieties or to too old beets.
Use the very dark red kind, and
see that they are young and freshly
gathered.
Why do vegetables fall apart
when home canned? This is due to
overprocessing or overlooking in
pressure cooker or water bath.
Watch the time and check with
timetable to avoid this error.
Shall Overpr0cess on underprOc-
ess? Neither is good, but under.
processing probably will result in
spoilage while overlooking will give
you wilted looking goods that do
not hold their shape.
How much shall I can at one
time? Unless you have help for
preparing the vegetables, it is best
to do it in several small patches
so vegetables do not spoil. If you
can get the produce from garden to
kettle-or jar-within two hours you
are working according to the best
rule. Much depends upon your own
speed and ability.
How much salt should be used?
Season according to taste or not at
all. Most people are satisfied If one
teaspoon of salt to each quart of
vegetable is added as a last meas
ure to the jar before it is closed
Should jar tops be wiped before
cover is placed on jar2 Yes, this
is essential to remove any bits of
vegetable. water or salt which
might prevent perfect seal.
What kind of covers should I use?
There are number of good vari-
eties available, and each should be
used according to the manufactur-
er's directions.

First, garden-fresh, sound ripe
vegetables are the only kind worth
canning. Unsound produce does not
improve during the canning proc
ess, and it's a waste of time, money
and food to put stale vegetables
into jars.
Select all vegetables as carefully
for canning as you would for your
most fnicky guest, and you'll be
long way toward success. Tender
peas, small beets, plump, shiny
corn, crisp and meaty beans, etc.
all will give satisfactory results be-
cause they are prime produce to
begin with.
Every vegetable should be
washed thoroughly before the skin
is cut or broken. Why? Because
some of them have dirt and fuzz
that is difficult to remove once it
becomes mixed with the juicy con-
tent.
Pre-cooking and hot packing gives

the vegetables and gives a better
looking pack as well as less shrink
age in the jar.
Use Pressure Cooker
Some women can can consistently
and successfully by processing veg
etables in a hot water bath. Either
they are very careful workers or
just plain lucky. However, fool
proof results are best obtained by
using a steam pressure cooker. It
is possible to bring food to higher
temperature in this way and kill
harmful bacteria, thus avoiding
spoilage.
Canning also may be done in
much less time with a pressure
cooker, and there is less opportu-
nifty to lose food values in this way.
Fortunately, the equipment is now
available, or in many .communi-
ties it is obtainable on communal
basis at a canning center or such.
Boil Before Serving
One of the basic rules for home
canned vegetables is to boil the

Ring black or green olives around
the sides of meat salad bowl to
make it look attractive.
Never overlook food if you want
it to look nice on the platter. Have
it crisp looking even if cooked.
If vegetables lack appeal for the
children, invest in a set of fancy
vegetable cutters and use these
for change to add interest.
Use. your gayest mats or linens
when serving out on the porch or
lawn. Pottery and heavy goblets
are ideal for service here.

For both fruit and vegetable sal

Use vegetables prepared in molds

A.-Yes, he is understood to be thoI

A.-Yes, indeed. Read Genesis 5:4:I
"And the days of Adam after he had

begat sons and daughters"
Q.-PIease tell me how man can b.
sure that he is called to the ministry
A.-First God impresses him. He
does not seek for it. Hebrews sal
"And no man taketh this honour unto
himself, but he that is called of God,
as was Aaron" Secondly, he begins
to win souls. This is the fruit and
proof of his calling. John 4:35.36)
Thirdly, the church recognizes that the
man is called and sets him apart by
ordination Mark 3:1A)
C.-Is there anything in the BlbIs
to prevent some great ruler from con-
querng all of Europe and starting a
new empire like that of Rome?
A.-No one will be able to weld all
the nations of Europe, once parts Of
the Roman Empire into another world
empire. This is clear from the pro
phecy of Daniel 2:41: "The kingdom
shall be divided" 1t is divided today.

GERMANY:
u. S. to End Army Rule

Control of the u. S. zone of Ger
many soon will be transferred from
the American military government
to civil authority. Secretary of
State Marshall is preparing to take
this long-delayed step as soon as
possible. The move will reverse the
state department 158-year-old ira
dition. Heretofore the department
has vigorously resisted taking on
any functions except formulation of
policy.
Former Secretary Byrnes wanted
administration of Germany left with
the war department, but Marshall,
himself a veteran of the war depart
ment, is willing to change that. He
has not revealed any details Of the
civil government setup that he has
in mind. Obviously a considerable
military force will be needed in Ger
many for some time, in case of out
breaks.
Marshall denied that American
and British officials had run into
difficulties over basic policy in plans
for merging the American and Brit
ish zones, as reported from Berlin.

The agreement was announced by
Asst. Secy. of Labor John Gibson

against local companies of the Bell

Water Test Reveals Facts About Fat People

Human guinea pigs are being
dunked in a warm water well at
the University Of Minnesota to de-
termine how fat persons hearts and
veins will stand the stress of mod

The experiments began as the re-
suit of findings by Prof. ANGEL Keys
during his observation Of conscien-
tious DIRECTORS who served as SUBJ
jects of starvation diet studies dur
ing the war.
DR.. Keys said there appeared to
be a relationship between the
amount of fat in a persons body, the
amount of tension in his personality,
and the way his heart and blood
vessels reacted.
Hence the underwater weighing

COTTON:
Planting Delayed

Wet cold weather has delayed
planting of cotton over most Of the
South, the department of agriculture
reports. Some planters are holding
down on acreage because of short
age of fertilizer and the high price
of seed. The department is urging
all farmers to put in as much cot
ton as they can because of the rec
ord demand and the small supply
on hand.
Prices of baled cotton have risen to
a new 1947 high on news that the
supply of old cotton was less than
previous estimates, being only
three million bales, or go per cent
less than last year. The unfavorable
outlook for the new crop has
spurred prices OF futures.
The agriculture department is ask
ing farmers to plant a total of 49,
10000 acres this year, an increase
of Is per cent over last year. It
now is realized that this goal cannot
be reached, even if considerable land
is replanted. Last year $780, 900
acres were seeded, and 1854, 600
acres harvested, yielding 8,517, 900
bales.

mail deliveries and other services
must be curtailed "all over the
country as a result Of a failure Of
congress to pass the customary de-
f1ciency bill to allow government
agencies to finish the final months of
the fiscal year ending June 3d."
In reply, Jesse Donaldson, act
ing postmaster general, stated that
no postmaster has been authorized
to make any statement about con-
gress. Actually, said Donaldson,
congress is not to blame. The

will have to ask for extra clerk

Communists have obtained impor-
tant jobs in the movies, newspapers,
radio stations, labor organizations,
and "every field of endeavor in this
country, and penetration has been
intensified over the last several
years." the famous detective said.
Nevertheless, Hoover does not
think that 1--WE are going to have q
revolution in this country tomor-

"48 per cent delinquent" meaning
it is about half way behind on its
backlog of cases, but he fastened to

BRAZIL:
OUTLAWS Communists

The Communist party in Brazil
one of the largest in the western
hemisphere-has been outlawed by
the supreme electoral tribunal by
a three to two decision. Immedi-
ately after the ruling police rushed
forth to close the party's AS clubs.
BY its decision, the high court
approved government petition
which asked that the Communist
party be declared illegal and closed.
Some Communists predicted that
the national congress soon would
pass law expelling extremists"
from the armed forces and all gov
eminent agencies. These same
sources said that the same act prob
.ahSv would close all Communist
newspapers and publishing houses.

II deputies and ONE senator in the

city, Rio de Janei1ro, the largest par

claims 10000 members.
There are thI.ee possibilities now
for Brazilian Communists, accord
ing to expert observers:
They could turn their well-organ-
lied party over to some other group.
They could organize a new party
under a different name and seek
apparently different detectives.
Or they could go underground as
they did between 1922 and 1945.
