Bt s S s s i B e e i Batile fo Black Qut War Time Is Started; Oust Dayhghl Saving &Cuntlnued trom r‘age One) 'ump!duon Others decl that the claim that War time saves electric power is ridiculous. An Olean, N. Y. correspondent writes: “I can't see where electri-| city or anything else is saved. A lot| of people have to arise before day- light to be at their jobs and must burn lights. A Leesburg, Va., weman argues that the lawmakers should see children going to school along the country roads, “some with lights, some with candles, and some Just lighting matches.” From Sacramento, Calif., Cannon has a telegram stating briefly that California, on three occasions, has|, voted against Daylight Sa time, “or in other words burning the| candle on the wreng end.” e in crime, health, the rate, traffic accidents, ner- vous breakdowns, ruined crops, and agricultural shortages are just a few of the things Rep. Cannon's correspondents claim as a result of having moved the clock an hour| ahead .

P, Johnson’s Frigidaire Store, located on Lower Front Street op- posite George Brothers Housewives are invited to call at any time during the afternoon and » Miss Mae Stephenson or Mrs. Fohn-Hanson will be on hand to answer any questions and to exhibit | -anning equipment and the eleetric dehydrator. Canning bulletins and recipes will be distributed. R rding the preservation of food, Lydia Fohn-Hanson issued the following statement today The canning season is here again with wild greens and fish ready for preservation. Those who bought the model pressure cooker last vear may have experienced some difficulty in operating it and some failures have been reported. Revised instructions for cperating it may be | secured from Mae Stephenson, Dis- | trict Extension Agent, at the Gas- | tineau Hotel * Revised instructions call for three quarts of water for ten pounds of pressure and four quarts for fifteen pounds pressure to avoid having the cooker boil dry. Also note in the new instructions that the indicating weight may not revolve; hence start counting processing time as soon as the escaping steam indicates that the pressure+is up. Regulate the heat to keep a moderate flow of | ¢team escaping from the indicator weight “With these changes the Victo: model has several advantages over | the old type cooker. The escaping team keeps the temperature con- stant and the juice is not as likely to be drawn from the can: oilage of canned food is due ither to insufficient cooking or in- | complete seal. Foods which do not contain acid such as fish, meat and vegetables are hard to sterilize as some organisms withstand ordinary boiling temperature prolonged six ; hours. Such long cooking spoils the palatibility of the food. The pre: sure cooker should therefor be used to sterilize non-acid foods to reduce | spoilage.
