apparently delnycd but the heat is driven
townril the center of the stalkn heneo
It can be seen Hint speed is vltallv nec
essary In getting the grnss Into the jar
anil inio tlie Until.
Slow or careless work at this point Is
frequently the starting point of this
trouble. Do not nllow tlie grass to He
in n bundle or n henp. Spread it out
on n cold platter nfter lifting from the
cold dip. Do only ennitih lo fill two
or three jars nt a time. Pack the
jars quickly nn.l speed them to the
liot-wnter linlh or boiler. Fill It with
sufficient jars as quickly ns p.issime.
Have Hie water in thahot-wnter bath
or boiler just nhout tO." degrees or just
below the siinmeriiiR point. If it Is
hotter than this, the jars are apt to
crack. Constant nnd rapid boiling Is
necessary for success.
About the closing of the jar if you
use the old-fashioned screw top XInson
jnr place the lid on the jar nnd turn
gently until it stops. Now rIvc It n
half turn back to loosen just n little.
. For the nll-Rlnss jar just slip the
large wire bale into position. V
The reason for partially tightening
the jars In tho hot-water bath Is Hint
when Hie liot-wnter hath Is kept boiling
for some time the contents of the jnr
nre also boiling, nnd unless u sngnt
leverage were left In the jnr. the steam
created by the boiling action would
came the jnr to crack.
Failure to adjust the lid properly is
oue of the causes of the liquid seeping
from the jar.
When Hie lid is properly adjusted and
the liquid evaporates tlie enuse will be
found that tlie Jars have not been cov
ered to n sufficient deptli with the water
In the bath. When the tops of the jars
arc left exposed during Hie process in
the liot-wnter bath, the intense bent
necessary In bilng the contents' to the
boiling point creates n vacuum through
the top of the jnr nnd gradually the
liquid content of tli jnr is evaporated.
The water should bo nt lenst thret
inches deep over the tops of the jars
in the hot-water bath.
When the time limit expires for the
processing of the asparagus, it is very
necessary to take precautions for care
ful and quick cooking. Tlie best way
ti do this is to remove tlie jars ftom
the hot-water bath tn a tiny covered
with a dry clolh and then set the tray
in a cool room, which, is free from
draughts. The moist niitt humid tern
porature of the kitchen will not do. nnd
as soon ns the jars can be bandied,
then chill them quickly by the process
giw'ii nbove.
Sometimes the question of using pres
ervatives in canning comes from some
lioufewlfe, nnd in answer to this
would say that any drug used in pre
serving food is a violation of tlie law
nnd a deadly danger tn the human
body. Preservatives, liquid nnd powders
simply embalm the product. Products
nf this character will cause serious
intestinal and digestive disturbances,
and rather than use these embalming
materials do not can.
Here are some siiRgesti"'; wnvs of
using both the canned and fresh as
paragus :

"A letter would break the monotony,

alone to rend Hint letter she had been
hoping foolish though it was to re

I.nving aside the paring knife she
examined first the postmark, nnd then
the writing on the envelope. Slie liked
it such strong, bold masculine strokes;
and then ns though the pretty little
porch with its clinging vines anil filter

important event, she hastily sought thf
seclusion of her bright little chamber In
which to open the precious missive .
Molly stared at the name nt the bot

of the
PUBLIC LEDGER
Last summer Conger was the first
newspaper man to reach Brest-Litovsk
and get through (to the Public Ledger)
the story of the battle between the
Bolshevists and the Poles.
Conger ranges over Poland, Germany
and Russia for the Public Ledger For
eign News Service.
From 1910 to 1917 he was Associated
Press correspondent in Germany. Am
bassador Gerard, writing of the diffi
cult position of Anterican correspond
ents in Berlin, says "It is the splen
did patriotism under fire of Ackerman
and Conger that deserves special
mention." (Mr. Ackerman is chief of
the Public Ledger Foreign News
Service.)
