To Cnn Peas and String Beans
fTa tht Editor of Woman' rage:
Dear .Madam Kindly publlah In jour column
a recipe for putting up peaa and string bcaDa
In Jars for tho wlrtcr
(Mra ) ji;nnii: m.
These directions arc given by specialists
of the United States Department of Agrli
culture: Tho washbollcr method is entirely
effective. If you desire, you may purchase
a home-size water-seal or steam-pressure
cooker, which will save both time and fuel
If you use a washbollcr, provido a false
bottom of wooden lattice work, cronplecos
of wood or coarse wire netting Kill tho
vessel with clean water no that the bnlllng
water will cover the tops of tho Jars or
cans. Begin heating the water so that It
will bo boiling violently by the time tho
containers are packed See that ail cans
or Jars are In good condition and absolutely
clean. Scald them thoroughly, uso new
rubber rings, and scald these also Ju-t bo
fore putting them on the jars
Throw out all peas and beans which aro
withered, and If possible can them tho
came day they are picked I'reparo them
as for table cooking; plunge them Into
boiling water for from thrco to five min
utes, and from there into cold water, re
moving immediately Pack at onco Into the
sterilized Jars as solidly as possible without
mashing and fill tho containers to over
flowing with boiling hot water to which a
little salt has been added. Place rubber
rings on the jars and screw down the tons
Put the jars at once Into your washbollcr
or other canning device
If In the washboller, they should bo al
lowed to remain for two hours after the
water bolls; If In a water-seal outfit, for
one hour and a half, and If In a steam
pressure cooker, for one hour. This tlmo
is for one-quart Jars. Remove at the end
of this time, tighten tho lids of the Jars
and stand them upside-down in a cool place,
being careful that no draft strikes tho hot
Jars. Store In a cool, dry spot There will
be no spoilage if the directions aro fol
lowed Implicitly and tho containers are
sealed up tightly.

Entertaining by Young Matron

Denr Madim How many times a r do
sou think n ouns married womnn should enter
tain to nold getting Into n rut? What ore tho
heat ways of slmplo entertaining?
(Mrs ) v. K.
It depends hugely on your means how
often ynu should entertain, but ono or two
small luncheons of ten or twelve guests or
three or four luncheons for six guests, and
perhaps ono card party, would bo amplo
entertaining If means are not plentiful
one entertainment Is quite sufllclent In
deed. In these days there Is so much going
on for tho Ited Cross nnd other charities
thero Is little time for private affairs
Informal dinners nnd luncheons and card
parties aro tho least expensive kind of en
tertainments. If ono is sympathetic and generous with
those ono meets thcro will be no danger of
getting Into a rut.

THE GOOD HEALTH QUESTION BOX
By JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG, M. D., LL. D.
Stomach
Tun gastric Juice not only digests the
food, but disinfects It, and after tho food
leaves tho stomach the gastric acid disin
fects tho stomach Itself. This Is highly Im
portant ns a preparation for the next meal
Hence, It Is necessary that the stomach
should becomo empty and should havo a
short period of rest after each meal before
food Is again taken Into the stomach. This
will preparo the stomach not only by In
suring perfect freedom from Infecting bac
teria, but by giving tho glands of the stom
ach and the ncrvo centers which control Its
action nn opportunity to replenish their
store of energy for use In the digestion of
another meal
Tho stomach should have a chanco to rest
for ono hour nfter each meal before tho
taking of tho next. If food Is received Into
tho stomach beforo It has disposed of the
previous meal there Is no chance for either
rest or disinfection The stomach Is un
prepared to do Its work well and Indigestion
is tho result.
A healthy stomach empties Itself of an
ordinary meal In four hours, so the usual
meal hours, G to C;30 a m, 12 and 6 to
0 30 p m , afford tlmo for rest and disin
fection as well as digestion. But when the
stomach becomes disordered so that it does
not empty itself promptly, the meals over
lap, tho Btomach Is cleared only once
during the day, during tho night; the gastrlo
glands become worn out with overwork,
tho mucous membrano of the stomach be
comes Infected and diseased and serious

WRITE LIFE, ADVICE
OF MABEL II. URNER
Author of "The Neglected Wife" Shows
That the Prosaic May
Be Interesting
"Don't wrlto nbout Life Write Life It
self " This is the advice to ambitious young
writers given by Mrs. Mabel Herbert Urnor,
nuthor of tho two novels which Pathe has
made into tho master serial, "The Neglected
Wife" Mrs. Urner, who has as large a
following among newspaper readers as any
other writer In America, believes that young
authors are too much Inclined to be gov
erned by what others have written "Balzac
has said that any man who would put his
own life on paper would produce n master
piece If wo cannot do thnt, we can at
least try to put somebody else's It takes
genuine courage to wrlto unhampered and
uninfluenced by what we have read ana
what we suppose people would like to read.
"The story of a common everyday woman
struggling to hold the man sho loves, If
written with tho pen of experience. Is In
finitely moro gripping than a description of
the 'Battlo of tho Marne" written by one
who has never heard the sound of guns."
It was this quality In Mrs. Urner's widely-read
novels, "The Journal of a Neglected
Wife" and "The Woman Alone," which con
vinced Patho that here was an opportunity
to lntroduco a new kind of serial. The
drama that Is a part of every man and
woman's life, that Is older than war and
more universal, Is tho keynote of these
stories and the films that have been made
from them
"If you can make your readers say, "Why
that 1b just llko my own experience,' you
havo succeeded In producing a story that
muBt command attention," continued Mrs
Urner "Whatever success my work has
attained is duo unquestionably to this
feature Thousands of women who see the
Pathe films will seo their own lives on tho
screen; their own troubles, their own prob
lems ; their own hopes and fears. To some,
various features will seem trivial, but you
and I know that It Is the trivial that shapes
the ordinary person's life."
When Mrs, Urner writes on any phase of
tho household, she writes as an expert. She
Is the wife of Lnthrop Colgate Harper, a
New York bibliographer, famous In his
own right Mabel Herbert Urner, In her
role of Mrs. Harper, Is a fine housekeeper,
clover cook and n charming hostess, and
when she writes of domestic problems she
docs so as one who knows.

Norwood's mind? How could sho ever faco

her secret, would ha dcsplso hex? Would
ho havo for her only contempt, because of
her lovo for a married man?
Would Kennedy try to explain nway tho
situation? His sllcnco seemed llko an ad
mission, yet what could he say or do that
would not add to her humiliation? As tho
car drow up at tho hall, a reportor, recog
nizing Kennedy, rushed toward him. In
stantly he was surrounded by an anxious
crowd.
"No no!" Margaret shrank back as ho
turned to help her out.
"I'll see Miss Warnor home," announced
Norwood with curt authority. Tho car
moved on, but not before Margaret had
seen Mrs. Kennedy, radiant with relief,
making her way through tho crowd to her
husband

In her love for Kennedy.
At her apartment, quietly unheeding her
faint protest, Norwood followed her Into tho
elevator. In her own living room, she drop

averted faco.

"Oh, don't please don't ! I can't bear It !

for his silence on the drive back to tho

sought to shield himself at her expense.

The next moment her volco came, faint
nnd strained. As ho strove to reassure her,
thero was a furtlvo sound from tho hall.
With n swift, nolsolcss Btrldo, ho reached
tho door and flung It open.
"Mary!" as tho crouching figure fell Into
the room. A throbbing moment as she
regained her feet nnd shrank back against
tho wall, In blanched, quivering defiance.
"You were listening?" contemptuously,
"You've stooped to that?"

and from abovo tho thud of a closing door.
Impelled by n vaguo fear, ho rushed after
her Her room was empty, but from the
bathroom camo n click of bottles.
"Mary I Open this door!" Then his flung
weight forced tho lock Snatching from her
tho poison-labeled bottlo ho shattered It
against tho wall. With a low moan Mary
had dropped to tho tiled floor. Picking her
up ho carried her to tho bed.
For a long tlmo ho sat bcsldo her, chafing
her cold hands, as sno lay with her face
turned from him. Neither spoke Ho knew
thero was but ono thing that would help .
and that he could net promise.
Tho wretched tanglo of his llfo loomed ,

tho two women who loved him He had
gone so far that thero was now no turning
back n honorablo way out.
When Anally ho left her, ho went Into his
own room with a husky "Good-night." The
very phrnso seemed a mockery, for ho knew
tho night would 'bring them both only a
wretched, sleepless vigil.

Tho driver, his face half concealed by hU

approached.
In tho cab's dim Interior, vaguely outlined
against tho dark upholstery, was a heavily

An Impatient panting, a rasping of
