The first step in home canning of vegetables or fruits is to make sure that all the needed apparatus is handy and in condition for immediate use. As explained, this consists of a hot-water bath outfit (such as a wash boiler with a false bottom), or a steam-pressure canner, glass jars, tops and rubber rings (or cans and soldering outfit), a yard or two of an cheesecioth for blanching and dipping, and the usual kitehen equip- ment of clean enameled pans, Knives, ons, wooden paddle, and sugar, salt, ang other condiments for flav- orng. Tables and all utensils with which. the preduct is to come in con- tact must be scrupulously preferably scalded with boiling water. Use Fresh, Sound Products. The fruits or vegetables to be can- ned must either be iresh, sound, and neither tco green nor too ripe. Young vegetables give better results than ols, woody or tough ones. Aim to get the products into the jars as as is practicable. Every 'S delav lessens flavor and o the difficulty of canning. Such products as green peas or sweet corn are not fit to can if they are off the vines more than a few hours. Pens for canning should be picked early in the morning or during a _cool spell and rushed into the cans. Don't let peas stand after t are shelted.

Vice-President, WILLIAM H. BURNHAM WAR NEWS DIGEST Stories of Acti s and Cong ns Throoghout the United :States and on the Battle Fronts: = 7~ %5 sxas Immense Stores Needed to Feed Men on Tra usorts. An account of how soldiers are fed at sea is given in the daily hewspaper { published on a transport: “Outside of providing 210,000 meals at sea, the mess officer of the ship has very little to do. Very little. “He is only called upoen to provide hy the regulations, 150 different varie- ties ‘of food. That's all. Ever try_to order 180 différent ‘thirigs t0 eat? Yet this is the ‘authentic Tist. “The food' needed "to feed several thousand men at sea ranges beyond the glutton’s dreams. You get the answer in the ship down. below the water line where 7,290 loaves of bread i have been baked in one day. end where you stumble over every va- riety, from 60,000 ‘pounds of beef to 132,000 eggs, or a compartment of brick ice cream in a 10-degree-above- zero vault. “And if ‘this -doesn’t suit you can bump alonz into 49,224 pounds of po- tatoes, 7,100 pounds of ham and bacon, 7.800 pounds’ of butter. 9,200 pounds: of sugar, and 61,500 pounds of flour. “Tf you can’t get a meal out of this you can still fall ‘back-on 4,600 paunds of sausage 3,400 pounds of sauer- kraut, 25,000 pounds of apples, 19,- 500 pounds of oranges. and 4,200 pounds of onions. And this leaves out 1.600 pounds of jam and 9,400 pounds of lima and navy- beans.” Morey Instead of Merchandise Should Be Sent to Soldiers. The original order that the approval of a regimental or higher commander was necessary before packages might be sent to members of the expedition- ary forces has been modified so offi- cers with the rank of major and higher may approve shipments. The approval of a company commander is not sufficient. The question of the shipment of parcels to France first came to the attention of the War Department when the commanding . general of the ex- peditionary forces- cabled that con- gestion of such articles had reached such a point that French railroads were unable to handle the load. A board appointed by the Seeretary of War and the Postmaster General examined 5, 009 sacks of parcelpost mail and found that the articles being sent not only, in the main, were absolutely un- necessary, but undesirable. The in- vestization skowed that the amount of such mail had reached a total of 500.000 pounds a week, and was stead- ily increasing. Relatives and friends, according to a recent statement by the War ‘De- partment, will find they often can do 2 greater service to soldiers by sending them money for the purchase of ar- ticles in France than by forwarding jthe articles. Tobacco is now being supplied as part of the Army rations, and . merchandise of nearly all kinds may now be purchased . in France through the huge general store es- tablished by the Quartermaster Corps tailers here. Army Medical Department Dealers War on Flies and Mosquitoes. Special attention is being given by all Medical Department of the Army in all camps to cleaning up spots where mosquitoes and flies breed. In some cases it has been necessary to dig channels in streams, drain swamps, and nut in elaborate ditching systems streams. In cases where it has been impossible or impracticable to drain swamps and do similar work, there | has been installed a system for keep- ing jdow-moving streams and still bodies of water covered with oil. At all points within the camp - where there is the slightest possibility of when | mosquitoes or fies breeding daily the jars are being given the second and ! spraying of oil is done. Arrangements have been completed with the Federal Public Health Sery- ice to carry out a similar program in the territories adjacent to the camps. The Health Service has agreed to fill bogs, open stre/ms, and drain swamps, and continue the oil spraying for a distance of 1 mile around sach camp. Special precautions have been taken prevent the spread of disease by flies. Instructions were given on the disposal of materials that were likely to become breeding spots. Arrange- | ments were made to protect all food from flies. - With this end in view, all buildings in which food is prepared or stored were screened., Entrances to the buildings have been vestibuled. An average of 6,000 fiytraps have been placed in -each camp. More than 22,- 700,000 square feet of screening has been placed in all.camps. Dental Corps of Army Can Take Care - of 5,000,000 Men. The dental requirements of an army of more than 5,000,000 men can now be met by the’present force of the Dental Corps of ‘the United States Arm# Ex- aminations have been closed and no further additions will be made to the corps for some time. The number of dental officers has expanded since war was declared from 38 to 5,810. Com- missions were offered to 5,467 dentists in all parts of the country, and all but 271 were accepted. . The average number of tooth fill- ings in the Army ranges from 225 0000 to 250,000 a month. Special den- tal infirmaries have been established in the camps and cantonments, to which newly inducted soldiers are sent for examination shortly after arrival in the camps. A school for dental instruction has been established, where 85 officers are assigned each month to take the 2- months’ course. New Regulations Provide For Im- portation of Mexican Labor. To assist in meeting the present shortage in unskilled labor re strictions have been temporarily re- moved on the importation of Mexican labor to be used in certain occupations. This step supplements the order by which the Department of Labor has arranged to bring Porto Rican la- borers into this country for work on Gevernment contracts. It is esti- mated that 75000 islanders can be brought in while transportation is available. New regulations on the subject of. Mexican labor contain rigid provisions to prevent any attempt at exploitation on the part of prospective employers.
