That a collogo or university courso
In homo economics Is not an absoluto
essential in house keeping, nnd es
pecially that part concerned with
canning nnd preserving fruits and
vegetables wob shown by Mrs. M. E,
King of Richmond, special demon
strator for tho O.-W. It. & N., who
spoko boforo GO ladles Tuesday af
ternoon In tho Commercial Club
rooms. Mrs. King's spcclnlty Is can
ning and preserving fruits and vog
otablos in which business sho Is en
gaged on hor farm at Richmond.
Tho exercise of common sonso In
putting up fruits nnd vogotnhlos, and
less attention paid to tradition will,
according to Mrs. King, bring bettor
results to ninny liouso wives, Ob
servations mndo on her extended tour
of' tho Northwest, during which Mrs.
King has talked to moro than B;000
women Interested in homo economics
have satisfied hor than housewives
nro too extravagant lit tho uso of
sugar, which practice destroys tho
natural flavor of tho fruit or vege
tables. Anothor observation Is that
housewives aro wasteful nnd do not,
for the most part, uttllzo tho by
products of tho articles they can.
Mb. King told tho Bond womon
ycatonlny of tho many by-products
which may bo developed from the
fruits and vegetables, a valuablo part
of which, they now throw away,
