- Serve and Preserve
It is not too early in the season
to sound the call for conservation
through canning and preserving. A
; year ago at this time the cold pack
method was a term which conveyed
little meaning to many of us perhaps
most of us. Now, most of us feel like
old-stagers in the art; and if there be
any housewives who are still novices
I am sure "they will graduate from
that state this summer.
Success of . the Method.
As I think back over last year's
uccesses and- failures, I believe most
of us had rather good records, though
it would be more optimistic than
truthful to say that everyone had uni
form success.. The cold pack method
(has been rather accurately worked
lout and depends for its success on
LjfoAowing directions very cjrbsely. We
(were! tphl that the vegetables must be
IfrWh.nomUhe garden a rather dif
Ifictrltwing to achieve in a city, and
fxnomof us "trusted Jo luck" that our i
fvcocftablea were newly gathered. '
r "We were told that our jars and jar
tops , must be perfect; and in this
point again we may Have "trusted to
luck" and. used our old jars and lids.
We were told to count time of boiling
from -the minute when the water was
bubbling violently; some of us may
have miscalculated our time. In these
and many other ways we substituted
hit or miss methods for accurate fol
lowing of directions and our food
spoiled.
After nil, failures are just a stimu
lus to later successes, if we are the
right sort; and very fw housewives
will be too discouraged to try again.
A woman would hate to admit to her
self that her neighbor, who is not a
bit more; intelligent, can do more than
she hers'ejf can.
Principles of cold pack canning, pre
liminary cooking or the food, called
"blanching;" thorough chilling, called
cold dipping," then complete cook-

ing in a hot water bottle after the
material is packed in jars, called "pro
cessing." The preliminary cooking or
blanching is done to eliminate acids
and acrid flavors, to reduce the bulk
and to start the flow of the coloring
matter. The cold dinning sets the
color and produces a firmer product.
The processing sterilizes the food
completely.
To Can Spinach and Other Greens.
(Two-thirds peck makes one pint jar.)
Wash jars and lids and sterilize.
Pick over and wash spinach. Put into
a cloth and steam for 20 'minutes.
Plunge into cold water for two min
utes, then remove and squeeze out
excess water. Pack spinach tightly in
sterilized jars to one-half inch from
the top. Add salt, allowing one level
teaspoon to each quart jar. Place on
a good rubber and cover. Adjust the
cover loosely. Place jars on a false
bottom in a wash boiler of warm
water. Boil one and one-half hours
after water is boiling violently. The
water in the boiler should cover the
tops of the jars two inches.
When time of boiling is over, re
move the jars from the boiler one by
one and tighten the lids. Do not re
move the lids even though the jars
are partially empty. Invert the jars
to cool and test for leakage. Store
in a cool, dark place.

South Side Girls
Decorate K. of C.
Hut in Fort Crook
Similar to the Comrade club is he
Isabella club, composed ot young
women from the South Side. This
club was founded and is sponsored by
Mrs. Tames F. Burke, wife of the
sprrptarv nf the Knicrlits of Cnliim-
bus building at Fort Crook. The
young ladies, assisted by their friends,
raised a fund with which they have
furnished the ladies parlor and cur
tained the windows at the Knights of
Columbus building at Fort Crook.
They afso collected numerous sofa
pillows for the cozy corner around
the fireplace and gathered magazines,
sheet music and victrola records.
They are now raising more funds to
buy some needed things for the altar
and sacristy.
Last Friday night they gave a dan
cing party at the hut for men of the
.41st regiment. The success of this
party, cannot be questioned since the
secretaries at the hut have been bom
barded by requests for another such
party.
Miss .Teresa M. Kopietz is presi
dent; Baajjche Wallweber, secretary,
and Bertha Lichnovsky, treasurer.
How Red Cross Work
Reaches Rural Centers
The Red Cross chapter of Frank
lin, Pa., has solved the problem of
reaching the hitherto unorganized
farmers' families in its vicinity. The
chapter inserts- in the local papers
an advertisement stating its willing
ness to .help out-of-town groups, and
thert awaits results. Invariably a
call is received sooner or later to meet
some interested women. There may
not be more than four or five persons
present, but the news that such a
meeting - has been held and that oth
ers have been arranged -for is printed
in - the nearest paper; and. once
started,-the work grows of itself. One
of these countay clubs now numbers
70 women.
The Funklin chapter members
found the -farmers' wives interested
and eager to help and to learn
though somewhat timid about starting
out by themselves. They supply the
needed .initiative, and, once the work
is under way, arrange evening meet
ings now and then. A feature of these
evening gatherings is the presence
upon the platform of a woman in
dustnously knitting. It has been
found that knitting is contagious; no
sooner does one person do it than an
other wants to try.
- .Franklin chapter has a director of
instruction, who has aides who can
be sent to these extension centers,
regularly if necessary. It also has 10
sets of model garments which it loans
to these new branches until the wo
men make a set of their own. The
aid societies in all of the churches of
the locality are doing Red Cross work,
and instead of a monthly meeting for
one afternoon they take a whole day
every week. The women of one col
ored church have organized a Red
Cross branch under the plan and are
doing good work.
French Orphan Fund.
Approximately $200 was realized on
the opening day from the Sacrifice
gale which is being conducted by
women of the First Methodist church
at Thirteenth and Howard streets,
The sale will probably continue all
week as such a quantity of articles
bavebeen donated. The money will
oe given to the french war orphan
fund.
Pretty Omaha Girl to
Do War Work in Capital
Lack df rain throughout Nebraska
and surrounding territory has pro
duced a noticeable dirth of home
growivyegetables on Omaha markets.
Radishes, spinach, onions and 'rhu
barb are the only home grown varie
ties being received.
Strawberries were conspicuous
this week mainly by their absence,
only a few shipments of good berries
were received. Missouri strawberries
are expected to arrive early next
week and this will relieve to a great
extent the shortage along this line.
No pineapples as yet have reached
the Omaha market. They come from
Cuba and the difficulty in transporta
tion is given as the cause of the de
lay. The pineapple market is gen
erally well advanced by this time of
the year.
The price of bananas continues to
vice examination very successfully
and will do stenographic work.
Two soldiers for Uncle Sam have
come from the Robinson family. An
only son, Walter E. Robinson, is now
with the United States engineers in
France. Mrs. Robinson gives almost
her entire time to Red Cross work
and expects now to redouble her ef
forts doing her patriotic bit at home.
soar amongst the highest realms.
Bananas are now 35 cents a dozen.
The prices on various vegetables
now on the market are: Onions, six
bunches for 5 cents; radishes, four
bunches for S cents: rhubarb, four
bunches for S cents; spinach, 20
cents a peck; new potatoes, 5 cents a
pound; head lettuce, 7 1-2 cents a
head; wax or green beans, 10 cents
a pound; tomatoes, id cents a pouna;
cucumbers, 5 cents, and old potatoes,
No. 1 quality, 25 cents a peck.
Fort Omaha Mule
Belongs to Red Star
"Abie" the post mule at Fort Oma-
ha, now belongs to the Red Star
animal relief society. Mrs. A. A.
Wedemeyer, wife of Captain Wede-
meyer, bought the membership.
Several afternoons a week are de
voted to bandage making for the Red
Star by the National League for
Woman's Service. Saturday afternoons
are devoted to mending clothes of the
men at both posts. More workers
are needed. Many of the garments
will need to be taken home because
machine stitching is required.
The motor division is working for
the Red Cross war fund drive in addi
tion to the call for civilian relief work.
