Mbitt B emmie EJiieJ ly IemaH GroSS household arts vept ccmifAL high jchooz 3 - 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- Co-Operation Misi Gross will be very glad to receive suggestions for the home economics column or to answer, as far as she is able, any questions that her readers may ask. 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. Question Box. Mrs. E. M. Hodges, Crookston, Neb. "War Time Breads and Cakes," by Amy L.

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. Every day you can save and satisfy by serving KEEP FIT Eat nourishing food.
