The stout woman may find some comfort in the thought that fall fctyles announced in August do not always become tho leading modes of September nnd October.

Lbs. in this column indicate pounds of steam pressure required; the figures which follow indlcato number of minutes required for sterilization under this pressure. products may bo put Into a colander, set over a essel of boiling water and rocred as tightly as possible. Good results may be obtained by uso of a steam coolter. As poon ns tho product Is rcmocd from boiling water or steam It should bo dipped Into cold, clean water and Immediately removed and drained a few moments Tern pcraturo of water used for cold dipping should bo aa low at possible. Tho cold dip hardens and conserves color nnd flavor. Tho product should ba packed carefully Into hot Jars as soon as removed. In tho case of fruits, boiling hot sirup or hot water In then added. In tho caso of vege tables hot water usually Is used and salt Is added for seasoning. The scalded rub bers and tops of Jars aro put Into place, tops of cans sealed, and containers nro placed In a hot water bath, pressure cooker, or other dovlco for processing. Processing Ib the final application of heat to sterilize tho product and Is continued for a period determined by tho character of tho product and tho kind of apparatus used Containers should bo placed in proc essing vessel as soon as titled. Immediately after termination of process ing period, whllo products aro still hot, glass nnd similar containers must bo sealed. Jars should then be placed In a tray up sldo down to cool and closely examined for leaks If leakage occurs, covers should be tightened until completely closed. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Mold may develop on canned goods If tho seal Is defective, It, after sterilizing, the tops aro removed from tha Jars to replace the rubber rings, and If the Jars aro kept in a damp placo whera the rubbers may decom pose. Shrinkage may occur during sterilisation because of Improper and Insufficient blanch ing nnd cold-dipping, careless packing, poor grading, sterilizing for too long a period or lack of Judgment In the nmount and size of product put Into tho container. nianchlng. Tho proper wny to blanch all greens or potherbs is In a steamer or In a vessel Improvised to do the blanching In steam bdovo tne water line. If this Is done. a high percentage of mineral salts and vola tile oil is retained In tho product. "Flat sour." Canned corn, peaa, beans and asparagus may show no signs of spoil age and still, when openod havo a sour tasto and a dlsagrccablo odor. This specific trouble Is known as "fiat sour," and can be avoided If tho canncr will uso fresh product, that is, ono which has not bcon gathered moro than five or six hours, and will blanch, cold-dip and pack one Jar of product at a time and place each Jar in tho" canner as It is packed.

In canning berries and all soft fruits blanching is dispensed with. Tha products to be canned are blanched or scalded usually by being placed In a cheesecloth bag or wire dipping basket Into boiling water and allowed to remain there from one to fifteen minutes, depending on the kind of product In the case of greens and green vegetables, however, the scalding Is accomplished most satisfactorily In steam as volatile oils and other substances remain In the food under this .treatment.
