Keep Vitamins In Home-Cun ned Tomatoes The tomato rates respect because it is chuckful of vitamins (A and C), those invisible spark plugs that keep one feeling fit. Because tomatoes are an impor- tant food, it is imperative that every one not needed for immediate use be saved by canning, but they must be canned right, else there will be Photo Courtesy Ball Bros. Co. little or no vitamin C left in them. Undue exposure to air after the skins are removed and over-cooking in an uncovered container destroy vitamin C. This is one reason that tomatoes should be prepared and canned as quickly as possible. Usually whole tomatoes have more food value than tomato juice, partly because a con siderable amount of vitamin A is lost in the pulp that fails to go through the strainer when the juice is made, but mainly because greater exposure to air destroys vitamin C. If you want first-class canned to matoes, use freshly gathered, firm- ripe, sound fruit—one small bad spot can ruin a whole batch. Wash the tomatoes before scalding; scald a few at a time. Remove all core, slip off the skins, and cut away green spots. Pack the tomatoes tight into clean hot jars—this is best done by pressing each tomato down with a wooden spoon. Add salt to season to suit your taste—the usual amount is one teaspoon to the quart. Seal jars according to manufacturer’s in structions and process 35 minutes in hot water bath. If tomatoes are not fresh from the garden, process 45 minutes. No juice can be better than the fruit from which it is made, so be fresh, firm-ripe. sure to use strictly ------- red tomatoes, which are free from all decay. Wash well and cut away any green spots or weather cracks. Weather cracks are those splits that form around the stem ends when hot sunshine follows a hard rain. Such tomatoes are unfit for canning or juice unless used immediately after picking. Leave the tomatoes whole and steam or bake them until they are soft; then press through a fine sieve, preferably a cone-shaped one; reheat the juice to simmering; pour into sterilized jars and process 30 minutes at simmering. The pulp will separate from the juice unless a very fine sieve is used or if too much heat is applied at any time. Oh, so you boil the juice in an open kettle until it is thick? Well, that’s a fine way to get rid of most of those precious vitamins. The best tasting juice is that made by pressing whole home canned to matoes through a sieve just before serving. Any seasonings liked may be added before canning but the juice will be better if seasonings, except salt, are added when the juice is opened for serving, and even the salt may be left out. 746.51 723.85 6.00 $ 5,120.99 TOTAL ESTIMATED REVENUE $ 7,191.00 120.00 34.95 50.00 15.00 219.95 I $ $16,320.00 We, the undersigned Chairman and Secretary of the Budget Commit tee of the City of Hermiston.

PAGE SIX 27.80 Mlaiçazat Margarst turned off the humm vacuum cleaner, and straig iter the slipcovers of the armchar c d the daybed that she had pushed up to go over the rug. Then she stood quite still in the doorway and locked at the small bedroom with its south ern exposure. It was as neat and impersonal as a pin. It might never have been lived in. The door stood open on the clean, bare closet. There was not a pennant, not a team pic ture, not even so much as an old Arithmetic book left to show whose room it had once been. Margaret stared at the walls, the furniture, and deeply, slowly, she realized that no matter what lodg ers with their own trinkets and pic tures might occupy it, she would al ways see it the old way. It was the old way that she saw it now. A pair of hard-worn gray pants lay on the floor where they had been dropped. Three baseball bats were stacked with a fishing rod in the corner. A battered red cap with a letter on it lay on the bed. And through the bed, as though it were transparent, Mar garet saw another bed, smaller, and with high slatted sides. She put the vacuum cleaner away and went down to her desk in the sitting-room. She took the fifteen dollars rent that the new lodger had paid that morning in advance for the room, and added to it, from her purse, three dollars and seventy-five cents more. Then she drew out a sheet of paper and began to write on it, slowly, gravely. “To buy a bond to help train a young man to replace Don, Jr — killed on June 6th in the Battle of Midway.” (Letter from an actual communication In the files of the Treasury Department.! **.* Help our boys.
