The Laws of Canning.
j The old question, "Do you have
r any luck in keeping your canned
" fruits?" is dying out gradually, as
women come to understand and mas
ter laws 6f canning. The housewife
who would understand the whys and
wherefores of the canning process
must go back to the science of bac
teriology for enlightenment. We
know now that the s porting of food,
: the process of decay, is caused by the
presence and action ot microscopic
plants called bacteria, yeasts and

are present everywhere. We
kf cannot eliminate them; but we can

I their work of destruction. The pro-

the fruit acid acta as a preservative.
Also, boil all jars and lids for fifteen
minutes, which time is sufficient to
sterilize the smooth surfaces of jars.
Since rubber rings cannot stand long
continued boiling they must merely
be plunged into boiling water imme
diately before use. Spoons, forks,
etc., used for putting the fruit into
the jars should also be dipped in boil
ing water.
Sterilization alone, however, will
not insure the keeping of canned
foods. If air can enter the filled jars
it brings with it fresh bacteria, yeasts
and molds, which will cause spoiling.
Hence the second law of canning:
Seal all jars tightly. Fill the jars to
overflowing and seal immediately. In
the case of screw top jars the lids
must be screwed tighter after the
glass of the jars has cooled and con
tracted. There are many methods of carry
ing out these two laws of canning.
Vegetable canning can best be done
by the "cold ' pack" method, which
will be discussed 'later, ine oia
fashioned method of cooking fruit till
tender in a syrup and then tilling ster
ilized jars with the cooked fruit and
syrup produces a finely flavored
nroduct.

Economical Side of Bacon
The homeniaker, chct or caterer
who has not made , use or bacon as
a flavoring hats been missing great
opportunities.
There are hundreds of women who
seem to have the' idea it is not good
form to serve bacon .excepting fried
with eggs. It, is best when broiled,
even though served , in the good old
way with fried eggs. But once the
housewife tries the good old standby
in some of its various uses she will
find that there is no need for monot
ony in her menus.

A Culinary Jewel
A cook in a Baltimore family is in
,...m n! oirtK anti plaudits because
she has been faithful to stove and
sink in one situation for twenty-five
years. So long a period of domestic
service is almost incredible in these
days when, as a tnicago wu. ic
marked, the cook may leave between
the bacon and eggs. Nowadays when
an employment agency brings the lady
of the house and the maid-of-all-work
together it is the employer who
is catechized by the employe. The
mistress fervently hopes that she wjll
suit the grande dame below stairs
and lives in fear of giving the under
ling displeasure. Is the solution of
the servant question to be the pass
ing of the servant? A strike in the
kitchen means nothing less than the
fracture of the staff of life. The do
mestic economy with the domestic out
of it is paralyzed. The old saying.
1 "Too many cooks spoil the broth,"
1 has ceased to mean anything, because.
too many cooks would be an incred
ible superfluity. How much is the
mistress to concede? Is the cook to
have breakfast served to her in bed?
Is she to be allowed to give nightly
parties in the kitchen when she does
not carry away meat and vegetables
and elect to spend the evening else
where? Any disciplinary measure
may produce a flare-up and a resig-
Bation.
The tired business man can easily
frown over his newspaper at his wife
and say "I wouldn't let her talk to
me that way. Why don't you dis
charge her?" That just shows how
little the good man knows of the
problem of getting anybody at all to
do the work and keeping the peace
even imperfectly. The disciplinarian
of the business office has his whip
hand in the fact that there is -a
waiting list for business chances. But
?ood cooks command their own price
and can pick and choose their elective
affinities in the way of diffident
young mistresses newly from the
:ooking school. If you think it is
asy to keep orfc cook for twenty
five years go home and try it over
on your own linoleum. You will find
:t all but impossible to please the
same servitor as long as that. You

picked over and washed. Small fruits
should be taken from the stem, large
fruits should usually be pared, and
sometimes halved or quartered. The
easiest method of removing skins
from peaches and tomatoes is to
plunge the fruit into boiling water for
two minutes, then into cold, after
which treatment the skins slip off
easily.
Peaches.
Eight quart! ot peachee, on u,uart 0f su
gar and three quarts of watr.
Or. If more syrup Is desired, eight quarts
at peaches, two quarts of sugar and four
quarts of water.
Put sugar and water together and
stir over fire until sugar is dissolved.
When the syrup boils skim it. Pare
the peaches, cut in halves, remove
stones, unless you prefer to can the
fruit whole.
Put a layer of the prepared fruit
into the preserving kettle and cover
with some of the hot syrup. When
the fruit begins to boil skim carefully.
Boil gently ten to fifteen minutes,
then put in the sterilized jars and seal.
Put another layer of prepared fruit
in the syrup and proceed as above.
J Peart.
Treat exactly as peaches, except
that pears require a slightly longer
time for cooking, about twenty-five
minutes for halves. The cooked
fruit should be easily pierced with a
fork.
Plums.
Eight quarts of plums, two quarts of su
gar and one pint of water.
Nearly all kinds of plums can be
cooked with the skins on. If if is
desired to remove the skins of any
variety, plunge them in boiling watet
for a few minutes. When the skins
are left on prick them thoroughly to
prevent bursting.
Proceed as with peaches. The time
of cooking is five to ten minutes boil
ing. It may be that more syrup is de
sired; if so, use three quarts of sugar
and one quart of water.
bacon drippings. Pour In the mixture,
cover, lower heat and let brown on one
side. Boll the omelet and turn onto a hot
platter. Garnish with grape Jelly.
Pea with Bacon.
Dice crlep pieces, of bacon and add to
canned peas which are to be served with a
white sauce. A few diced carrots are a
desirable addition to thla vegetable.
When serving canned peas with a white
sauce save the liquor off the peas for
soup. It contains the mlne-al salts which
supply material for bones and teeth.
Oysters and Baon.
Thla dish la called Angels on Horseback
in the south. Roll a piece of thin sliced
baron around an oyster, secure with a
toothpick. Broil until bacon Is crisp. Serve
on hot dish garnished with quartered
lemon and paaley. Canned tomato soup
just as It comes, is delicious served with
these.
With Spnvhettl.
To give Just the right flavor to spa
ghetti and rice dishes crisp three or four
thin slices of bacon, dice them and add the
boiled rice or spaghetti to the. pan con
taining bacon and bacon drippings. Add de
sired seattonlng to dish and let simmer.
This Is delicious with a can of tomatoes, a
big an appetite. You would have to
dismiss yourself several times in that
period, and you would earn little but
ignominy in your own eyes. Phila

Culinary Queries.
Mrs. W. S. T.: The difference be
tween jelly marmalade is that jelly
is made from strained fruit juice,
while marmalade is made from juice,
rind and pulp. Also, so far as I know,
marmalade has a lemon and orange
foundation.
Orange Marmalade.
Five orangea, two lemons, surer and
water.
Wash and slice fruit very thin. Do
not peel fruit. Weigh sliced fruit and
add three pints of water for every
pound of fruit. Let stand twenty
four hours. Put on stove, bring to a
boil and let boil forty-five minutes
hard, counting time from beginning i
of boiling. Let stand twenty-four ;
hours. U eigh and add pound lor
pound of sugar. Bring to a boil and
let boil forty-five minutes. Pour
into sterilzed glasses and seal with
paraffin.
Standard Recipes.
The recipe card catalogue by its
business-like exterior, suggests effi
ciency within. One of the first prin
ciples of the science of efficiency,
whether practised in a store, a fac
tory or a kitchen is standardization.
Our modern housewife will standard
ize her working conditions and also
her working information. Her cata
logue will not contain a useless repe
tition of recipes of the same type,
such as "white cake," "ice cream
cake" and "pond lily cake," when the
only differences among them are
slight variations in number of egg
whites used.
A "ood working plan is to try out
several recipes of one kind until a
thoroughly satisfactory one is found.
Then next to this tested type recipe
keep a card labelled "variations."
Thus, if one finds a particularly de
licious chocolate frosting which owes
its unusual flavor to the addition of
cinnamon, then add that suggestion
to the "Variations for Krostings"
card, but do not make a new "Choco
late Frosting" card.
A woman is much more indepen
dent of cook books and more mistress
of the art of cooking when she re
alizes that there are not 1,000,000 re
cipes in the world, but just a few
basic ones which she may maser
and then vary to suit the tastes of
her family as her own ingenuity dic
tates. few slices of onion and a half a doaen
shreds of sweet green pepper.
With Naiads.
Broil bacon c.lsp and either grate or
pound very fine. Put In a kitchen salt
shaker and sprinkle over various salada and
scalloped dishes.
A very convenient receptacle Is made hy
punching holes In the top of a baking
powder can.
The Economical Side.
Save every bit of bacon dripping by
Itself. It Is splendid as a shortening for
pantry or to grease the griddle with.
The fo-elgn housewife has found that
sandwiches of salt or smokod meat are very
appetising when the bread has been spread
with pure bacon drippings. Chlldroii relish
these sandwiches when they are made with
very thin slices of dry Salami sausage.
