CAUSE TROUBLE
Thousands of Jars of Food
Lost Because Tops
Are Bad
increasing numbers 01 nuuw
west are reporting losses of can
ned fruit, vegetables, meat anl
fish ftem the detective Jar tops
put out bf the Kerr glass com
pany during the past season. t
FarmersSincl housewife to the
number of 50 met In Dallas last
Saturday to consider means of re
dress and a similar meeting was
held in Bremerton. Washington,
earlier In the week. Representa
tives at the Dallas meeting were
from Polk. Marnn and Unn coun
ties and reported a total of 4500
Jars of food lost. This amount
represents but a small fraction of
the quantity that has been lost in
the northwest.
Fowl Is Tainted
The trouble seems to be in all
of the lids put out by the Kerr
company. Including ,b o t h econ
omyiaad eelf sealing tops. Ac-
oratUK 10 leners eceiTca irom
he company the trouble is wila
trie gummy substance around me
:l-re of the lids, hither through
use or poor material or inrouRii
failure to bake the lids properly
Borne substance remains which
ta'nls the fruit.
One woman deiicribed the odor
ef the fruit as "like gasoline
fumes." The flavor U very un
pleasant And after eating, the food
seems to form a gas In the utom
act. No case of poUoning hata
been reported and chemical anal
ysis of the goods do not reveal
the presence of any poisonous material.
Xo Salvage PoKulhle

from the loss, according to re
ports. Various methods, such as
allowing the food to stand open
before using and recooking have
been tried without success. It is
simply unfit for use under any
condition.
The Jars seem to seal perfectly

Caps Are Identified
All housewives can Identify the
defective caps without opening
the Jars. Each cap put out In 1929
vas marked with a dot In the top
Just under the first R in the word
Kerr. It is this group of caps that
defective.
At the Dallas meeting Mrs. C.
K. Cooper of Dallas; Rt. 3, was
elected chairman and Mrs. N. L.
raltner, rccretary. Representatives
of the county, state and federal
governments were present but
none of them seemed to feel that
much could be done to replace the
great loss.
Company Called Vpon
County agent J. R. Beck has
written to the company asking
that a representative be sent to
meet with the women and eee if
any satisfactory arrangements can
be made. The company has al
ready replaced the defective caps
In some cases but this is but little
satisfaction to the women who
Jave lost several hundred Jars of
food.

the price is reasonable. Cooked
onions do not taint the breath
Huge Ship Will Carry
Fruit All Over World
- Fresno City la familiar as the
center of the raisin growing In
dustry of the San Joaquin Valley
In California, but from bow on the
name of the city will be carried
on the high seas by the new mo
tor ship recently launched in
England and specially built for
the fruit trade between that coun
try and the Pacific coast.
The "Fresno City" Is an 8,800
gross ton vessel, the largest ever
constructed solely for fruit car
goes. She is equipped with Diesel
engines, has special provisions
for ventilation and a number of
other recent Improvements in
shipbuilding. She will reach San
Francisco about January 21 on
her maiden voyage, calling at Los
Angeles, Portland, Grays Harbor,
Seattle, Tacoma, and Vancouver,
B. C. before her homeward voy
age. The vessel was launched on Oc
tober 16 at Sunderland before a
large gathering of British and
American business interests, in
cluding representatives of the
Producers International Sales as
sociation, European distributors
for Sun-Maid raisins. The ves
sel has a cargo capacity of 635,
000 cases of 225 pounds each, a
dead weight of nearly 8,500 tons.
Raisin cargoes will average 100,
000 to 150,000 carts.
The launching. of the "Fresno
City" occurred during the discus
sions of President Hoover and
Premier McDonald over the limit
ation of naval strength, and was
seen as another proof of the wide
cooperation between British and
American business interests. The
new vessel was referred to In the
launching ceremonies as a lasting
and their food value Is great.
Open the kitchen windows and
cook onions.
Oregon apples are very good
Just now and the price Is lower
than In previous years.

Today we arc particularly In
terested In fruits. The navel or
anges that are now in the mar
let are excellent. Give the kid
dies the whole orange instead of
Just the Juice. The meat is ten
der and delicious and they can be
bought in all sizes and prices.
At the Christmas season both
children and grown ups are prone
to eat too much candy. Avoid at
least part of this trouble by mak
ing candy of the famous Oregon
prunes. It is delicious and un
usual and has the virtue of not
being too sweet.
Steam the dried prunes to loos-
fill cavity with walnut meat,
f.queexe together. Make a vlrup
nf one cun.of suaar and one-third
cup of water. Boil to the toft
ball stage, remove from fire, and
Add a generous dash of cinna
mon. Next dip the stuffed
prunes in the cinnamon sirup and
set asiae to dry. This forms a
transparent coating on the prune
and the. flavor is excellent.
Many variations of the stuffing
are possible. Peanut butter,
peanuts, almonds, fondant,
marshmallows and filberts each
make a delicious combination
with the prune, flavor.
Lettuce Is much improved in
quality now and the price has
changed but little.
p
' Spinach Is excellent Just now
and should be used frequently.
The difficulty -of preparing may
t overcome if the leaves are first
'washed In very warm water, then
In several cold waters. The warm
" water loosens the dirt and it is
much easier cleaned.

Housewife Warned
Against Neglect of
Washing . Machines
The housewife could save her
self much time and annoyance if
she would learn the simple rules
of caring for mechanical house
hold appliances. One of the most
common of these Is the electric
washing mtchlne. Improper care
Is the cauK of mo.t of the diffi
culty experienced with these. Dif
ferent mac! nes require slightly
different care. The instruction
book which comes with each ma
chine should be carefully studied
but these simple rules will prove
valuable In earing for any make
of machine.
1 Oil regularly, according to
instructions. 1
2 Tighten bolts, and keep the
belts at the proper tension tf the
machine' is motor driven. .
3 Do not overload the ma
chine, fill to the water line and
wash the proper weight of cldthe
for your particular machine.
4 After using rinse the ma
chine thoroughly with hot water,
preferably by operating it for a
few minutes. Drying metal ma
chines prevents much discolora
tion. 5 Use soap and water to re
move grease or oil stains from the
machine. Scouring powders should
be used .with care on metal ma
chines to prevent Injuring the sur
face. 6 it the tub Is wood, keep
water to a depth of three pr four
Inches when the washer is put
away after use. This prevents
warping and leaking. .
7 Between wash days keep the
lid of machine open 1 or 2 inches
to allow free circulation of air.
F
MARKET
IS
UNSTEADY
Grape fruit shipments Increased
last week to 860 cars, with Flori
da originating 47 S and Texas
more than 300. The season total
to date from Texas is already
greater, than all of last season's
output from that state.
California's output of cauli
flower Increased to 310 cars, that
state being almost the only source
of supply.
Imports of tomatoes from Cuba
were rapidly gaining and totalled
135 cars during the week. Mex
ico sent 21 cars. Very light ship
ments were reported from Florida,
Texas and California.
The price situation of many
products was not quite so favor
able as it had been. Cabbage and
sweet potatoes declined a bit snd
eastern onions sold somewhat low
er. Potatoes were firm to higher
in Chicago and the North Central
shipping areas. Apples also made
a slight advance In some terminal
markets. Celery prices held well.
Lettuce sales were mostly on a
firm basis, but a "decline was re
ported in the Salt River valley of
Arizona, as southwestern lettuce
movement became quite heavy.
Combined shipments of 25 pro
ducts showed little change, with
total of 15,300 ears reported.
