Hints On Devices Given
to bt canned In t.-.c home, there's
food deal to be aald I m tin cans.
They won't break, the; take up lew
room In the canner than glass Jars,
processing them takes less time, they
can be plunged Into cold water aa
soon aa they come from the processor
so aa to stop the cooking at once. And
there can be no loss of liquid during
the processing, whereas with even the
best handling of glass Jars, there is
some loss. But tin cans cannot be
used very successfully a second time.
Use of tin cans means a sealing ma
chine and a good, strongly bunt oue
at that.
(By U. Bureal of Rome
Eronomtrs)
Canning time la Just around the
corner I
The buffetlngs of lusty spring rains
and the radiance of spring suns have
prodded gardens Into luxurious
growth. Over much of the country,
asparagus, snap beans, pesa and the
like are, or soon will be, coming on
faster than the family and the neigh
bors can eat them.
Now Is the time to decide what and
how much to can during this grow
ing season to Insure a well balanced
and varied diet the year around. Can
ned foods are at their best the first
year. So It's economy to can only what
the family can use between now and
next spring.
And for economy of time a person
doesn't want to wait until canning
morning to get equipment ready.
Pressure for Safety
The ateam pressure canner is the
apparatus which first need to be
considered. It is an absolutely esaen-j
tlal piece of equipment for safe can
ning of non-acid foods. And non-acid
foods Include all the vegetables ex
cept tomatoes, rhubarb, ripe plmlen
tos and pickled beets, and all the
meats.
"It make take alx hours or more at
bollng temperature (313 degrees) to
kill certain dangerous bacteria," reads
bulletin 1762 on "Home Canning of
Prults, Vegetables and Meats." writ
ten by specialists In the bureau of
home economics in Washington. But
at 340 degrees in the steam pressure
canner. they may be destroyed In SO
minutes. Under home canning con
ditions, without this steam pressure
canner, many stubborn and danger
ous bacteria may never be killed.
Recent research on canning costs
have shown that if fairly large quan
tities of food are canned, special
equipment such as the pressure cook
er add very little to the cost per con
tainer over the period of time dumg
which it is used.
Strong Canner Best
Home economists consider 18 to ao
quart capacity canners the most eco
nomical sires for home use.
As to material, either aluminum or
steel Is satisfactory. It's Immaterial
wether the top la held on by lugs,
clamps or a strong band. The chief
concern of the purchaser should be
to get a strongly bult piece of equip
ment, with the top held on tightly
enough that there can be no leakage
of steam. The top must of course be
fitted with an air outlet or petcoek,
a safety valve, and a pressure gage.
The safety valve must be clean and
in working order. Openings to the
petcoek and the pressure gage also
must be clean. The pressure gage it-
self ought to be checked against a re
liable master gage to see that It la
registering accurately, for so long as
the gage works properly the pound
pressure Indicates the temperature
Inside the kettle.
Temperature and ateam pressure
rise and fall together. When the
temperature reaches SfiO degrees. P..
the gage should register IS pounds of
pressure. When it's 240 degrees
pressure should be 10 pounds. Tneee
figures are for altitudes up to 3000
feet. For each adltlonal 3000 feet, an
other pound of pressure should be
added for those temperatures. If the
pressure gage is more than 3 pounds
off, the best thing to do Is have a
new gage put in.
Satisfied with the safety valve and
pressure gage, you might examine the
surfaces which form the closure be
tween the pot and the cover to see
that they are clean and smooth. You
can t expect the cover to stick tight
ly to the pot If the edges are dirty or
surfaces rough. Abrasives snould
never be used to clean these edges,
for fear of making them rough. Use
care, too. not to dent them.
Container Check Urged
Canning containers are the next
group to mobilize for canning opera
tions. If you use glass Jars, you'll
want to take a census of your empty
ones, to find out how many are avail
able, how many news ones you'll need
to buy.
If they are the lightning-type mod
ified msson Jars, you'll need to test
each wire clsmp to. see that it Is
tight. You can essily slip the wire
out and tighten It by pressing down
the middle with your thumbs, then
snap it bsck Into place.
If you have the automatic-, self-.
or vacuum-sealing type of Jar, that
may mean new rubber ringa or caps
with new gasketa.

IN BRITAIN SENDS
LIVING COSTS OP
Food Is Rising Rapidly in
Price With Clothing to
Follow As Government's
Demands Drain Supplies
LONDON (UP) Great Britain's
rearmament program la bringing a
rapid rise In the cost of living, a .
Pood prices are rising rapidly, and ,
boots, shoes, furniture, clothes and
most of the necessities of life are
expected to go up. In some ca&es by
as much as a third, as present stocks
are exhausted. !
There will be a sharp rise in many
prices toward the end of June. The
cost of living Index will make an up
ward curve. Everything metal, from
pins to frying pans, and even wire
less aerials, Is already dearer.
Clothing and equipment for the
army, metal and other raw material
for guns, planes and tanks, have
fornvd a heavy drain on supplies.
As the arms program la carried out,
the drain will increase, and prices
will continue to leap upward. The
full effect has not yet been realised,
for buyers for largo stores, and mid
dlemen, were Instructed to give heavy
orders for certain classes of -goods as
soon as the arms program was an
nounced. Tobarco Also Included
Tobacco, cigarettes, cinemas and
other luxuries will become dearer as
their prices are forced upward In
sympathy with those of basic com
modities. Briefly, the rearmament will mean
a return during peace to almost war-'
time price levels, with consequent
hardship for millions of families.
Of t he 11,1 87,000 Insured persons
in work, and the thousands t others
outside the scope ot the Insurance
acts, only between 1,250,000 and
1.500,000 wage earners, representing, !
with their families, 4.000.000 persom. !
aave wages governed by collective '
&tjwmenta or orders under the trade '
board acts, which fluctuate with the 1
cost of living index. And their wage :
variations lag behind the rise in i
prices. j
Trices Up 12 Percent 1
51nee 1936 the wholesale price of I
food In Britain has risen 13 percent.!
The pound Is now worth to the i
housewife only 17 shillings and six- I
pence, by the standards of a year '
ago. Here are the percentage Increases !
in retail prices in two years only, of ;
some of the staple commodities of ;
life: flour 16, bread 21. tea 0, sugar
7, milk 4, butter 5, cheee 9, mar
gartno 19. es 28. potatoes 36.
As a result of the arms demand
on metals, aluminum wear pots, pans
and kettles has already been In
creased In price to the public by 10
percent. Tinned and Iron wares are
up by 33 percent and enamel by 20
percent. Purther Increases In the
price of these articles will soon be
made.
For a few woolen articles, such as
sports shirts, prices to the public
are up by 5 percent, but the real
increase admittedly is to come.
Wholesalers are now asking 10 to 12
percent more for dyed cotton goods,
and 5 percent more for rough cotton
goods, such as mops. The Increupd
price will be passed on to the public
next month.
Cutlery la 5 percent dearer owing
to the shortage of raw materials. .
Even pins have gono .up In price; '
brass by 10 percent .nd -steel by 5. 1
Laundries, dressmakers and tailors. ,
who use enormous quantities each '
year, and eventually the public, will ,
be effected. r j
Leather :-ose in price by 35 percent :
last October, following the buying
up of large quantities in the previous j
month by the United States. Leather
