Sauerkraut days are coming and
with the crispness of the Autumn
air our appetites sharpen for this
popular dish.
To those of you homemakers who
live in the rural areas, it's the time
to make sauerkraut, and this | can
well remember my own mother do
ing along about this time of year.
If my memory serves me right, this
first step was toobtain a clean wood
en- key, then the cabbage was chop
ped or shredded and layer of cab
bage was laid in the bottom, then
layer of salt and etc, until the keg
was three fourths full. A cloth COW
er was then placed over it and
weight to hold the cabbage down
while the brine covered them. This
had to stand for sometime before it
was ready for use. Then the most
popular way of using the kraut was
to cook it with the freshly butchered
pork spare ribs, the thoughts of
which makes my mouth water.
SauerEraut did not originate in
Germany as most people think. 1t
apparently was first used by the
builders of the Great Wall of China,
to combat the deficiency diseases
resulting from diet consisting al
most entirely of rice. 1t is believed
the Tartars introduced sauerkraut to
Eastern Europe the acid
cabbage was taken to the hearts of
the peoples of Germany and France
and to spread later to the United
States.
Although sauerkraut - and espe-
cially the JUICES used the year
round, it seems at it's best in cool
weather, along with pork sausage,
pork roast and as said, Spareribs.
It's full of food value, as the an
clients knew or guessed, and its lac
tic acid content is particularly val
liable. So be sure to try this dish
in the many ways you will find in
your cookbook
For an eye opener in the mornings
try half and half tomato juice and
sauerkraut juice, right from your
refrigerator.
If you have some green tomatoes
on hand here is an excellent recipe
for a relish
Green Relish
4 cups ground onions
l medium head cabbage a cups

10 green tomatoes a cups ground)
IL green peppers
6 sweet red peppers
X cup salt
6 cups sugar
tablespoon celery seed
2 tablespoons mustard seed

Grind vegetables, using coarse
blade of grinder. Sprinkle with Y
cup salt; let stand overnight. Rinse
and drain. Combine remaining in

minutes. Seal in hot, sterilized jars.

Two possible propositions have
to do with the water supply. One
Is whether iodine should be added
to the water to prevent goiter.
It can now be stated, with abun-
cant high authority behind it,
that in some districts, particularly
in the region of the Great Lakes,
iodine should, be added.
The other health proposition is
that of adding fiuorides to the
water supply. Some years ago it
was found that the inhabitants
of a certain county in a certain
State were almost free of de-
cayed teeth. Investigation showed
that the water and the soil there
contained certain percentage of
f1uorides. Previous experience with
fiuorides where the percentage was
much higher had caused mottling
of the teeth.
Experiments have been carried
out in different parts of the
United States and Canada in
which small amounts of f1uorine
salts (in the proportion of / to Is
parts per million) were added to
the water systems of town and
cities. All reports were favorable
to this method Of preventing
tooth decay.
In the Journal of the American
Dental Association, Dr.. Francis A.
Bull. Madison, Wis, states, 1.-The
addition of fluorides to domestic
water supplies has now been rec
commended as decay control
measure by the United States Pub

For burns anywhere else on a

rub a little lard or butter on the
afflicted area.
If you are one of the many who
have been worrying because your
cocker spaniels have watery eyes,
stop doing so. 1t is characteristic
of all large-eyed breeds and can
not be helped. It does not affect
the sight of your dog and it can
not be changed even by an opera

OF course. if the watery condi-
ton increases to any great extent
would advise you to take your
dog to veterinary, as it then
might indicate one of many all

when some friend says. "Oh, your

Just remember that almost all

handful of cracked ice and hold
it for several seconds on the spot
where the gum had adhered. The
gum will become brittle and, in
most cases, can then be removed
without the loss of single hair.

Knowledge of Locks
Was Major Asset
In Amazing Escapes
By Romon Coffmon

Harry Houdini made man,
amazing escapes which he car.
ried out after being handcuffec
and bound with ropes.
Houdini made a close study ot
locks and handouts. He knew
about all the main types used or
this continent, and about many
kinds used in foreign countries
He was an expert at picking locks.
When he was tied up, Houdini
would make sure that there was
as much slack" in the rope as
possible. He would take a deep
breath to expand his chest, would
spread his shoulders, and in other
ways would gain a little extra
rope. Later he would contract his
chest. shoulders and so on. This
gave him space in which to work
while wriggling out. He was skill
full in moving his hands. even
when they were fastened with
handouts at the wrists.
One of Houdini'S tricks was to
get out of a glass box. Members Of
the audience stepped up to make
sure that it was completely bolted
together. Houdini was inside the
glass box. While the curtains were
drawn for few minutes. he would
get out.
That glass box had AZ bolts. and
only three of them were Of a
tricky" kind. A small key was
used to open the box from the in
side, and with that simple help
Houdini escaped.

from 3 to 8 feet.
For foundation plants the
japanese and Chinese hollies are
most likely to give satisfactory
results although they should not
be placed so close to the building
that the reflected heat will burn
them in the summer and keer
them in active growth too far into
the fall. For this reason they are
best on the east or north sides OF
the building.
Only the dwarf varieties of the
Japanese holly are suited to edg-
ings and the rock garden.
The holly fancier will FIND
many of the unusual in the holly
family. There is a variety with
clusters of spines bristling from

Most gardeners, however, pre-
fer to grow holly for the bright
red berries that are associated
with the holiday season. The
English varieties are probably the
most snowy, although some of the
better varieties of the American
are outstanding compared with the
usual wilding.
Both of these hollies are dio.
ecious (some of the English vari
eties are self-fertile), which
means that the female berry
bearing is the one to plant for tn
brightly colored fruits and, ther,
must be male within a block o.
