This is a new method of canning tomatoes; Scald and peel the toma- toes, as usual: Have the cans sten.- ' lined, place the raw tomatoes in them whole, pour in boiling water to fill the cans, running a kn'fe around in the cans, so that all the crevices are filled, then put on the cover. Place and cans in a boiler or large vessel, pour in boiling water until it reaches bhe neck of the. can, put the lid on the boiler. wrap it with a blanket or rug and leave until the water is cold, which will be next morning, The cans are then ready to pat away. When the cans are opened, you will find the tomatoes whole and firm enough to slice easily. Canned Tomato Soup.—Boil thor- oughly tomatoes and onions, propor- tioned td roportioned.to taste. -Strain, season with salt, black and red pepper and celery seed. Boil again and can. This may be used in a variety of ways, as a plain soup, as a meat sauce, thick- ened and spiced, with macaroni. ad- ding cheese and thickening, or com- bined with left -over meat or chicken and gravy, rice, barley, vermicelli. etc, Tomato Catsup.—Take the desired amountof tomatoes and scald them to free them from the skins. Place them in a kettle with a bit of onion and a bag of mixed spices. Cayenne should not be added until the mix- ture is run through a sieve to remove all seeds. Add vinegar, black pep- per and enough cayenne to make the catsup sharp. Boil, and when med- ium thick put into bottles. Use new corks and press then far down into the necks of bottles, then dip the tops of the necks intosealing wax. Ex- act proportion cannot lie acearrately giyen, for tastes differ, and the only reliable way is to test the made cab- eup and add any ingredient which has. a tendency to make it better. Some use a litble sugar in catsup, whereas others prefer it tart. Green Tomato Pickle.—Slice green tomatoes thin. Put plenty of salt on them and let stand overnight. In the that every housewife ehould now about food is its value as nourishment for the body. We trust, in fact, have foods that feed. There are several kinds of values that all human bodies need in the food they eat, and with out which they cannot be healthy and well nourished. These are; Material bo build the body and re pair waste. Material to give heat and strength. Material to enrich and cleanse the blood. Material to form bone. Let us take them in order: It may be said of the body-build- ing material that, in a sense, it is the most important of all, because we cannot live without it, while we might go on living for some time without most of the. others (though we could not long remain` healthy), Cheese, lentils, haricot beans, split peas, meat, fish, oatmeal, eggs, nuts and, bo a somewat. less extent, good bread, all have much body-building material., Fats of all kinds, such as butter, cream, suet, dripping margarine and nut butter, give warmth andenergy, strength and power to work. ` Sugar, molasses and golden syrup are also heat -giving, and so are "starchy" foods,. such as potatoes, rice and cornstarch.: These foods, however, contain very little body-building ma- terial. Vegetables and fruit (other than peas, beans and lentils) contain scarcely any of the body-building ma- terials, but they give the body what no other foods give, that is, certain juices which purify and enrich the blood, and without which no one can be healthy. It is these precious juices which are thrown away when vegetables are boiled in water and the water poured down the sink. If these juices were taken by people every day in properly cooked vege- tables, there Would not be nearly so much money spent at the drug store, as they are the best possible form of natural medicine.

Bucharest, the capital of Roumania, which figures so largely in the news of the day, straggles in its history far back into the past, says the Christian Science Monitor. Modern historians declare that it was origin- ally a fortress erected on the site of the Daco-Roman Thyanus to com- mand the approaches to Tirgovishtea, at one time the capital of Wailochia. But tradition, and tradition notorious- ly in such matters is entirely unin- fluenced by history, has it that it was built by the semi -mythical Radu Ne- gru, who is supposed to have flourish- ed during the closing years of the Wounds in Many Instances Being; thirteenth century and the early years Treated By Novel Methods. of the fourteenth.

The place is essentially a modern town. It lies in a hollow traversed from northwest to southwest by the river Dimbovitza, on the left bank of which the city is mainly built. To the west and southwedt it is sheltered by a low range of hills, but on all other sides the land stretches across marsh and lowland away to the sky line, to where the great central Wal- lachian plain sweeps clown to the Black Sea. Bucharest has a multi- tude of gardens and a multitude of turrets and metal -plated or gilded cupolas, and they lend to the city a certain picturesqueness in which, him as he is being slowly worn away returned to Stockholm from ussla out it, and many owners will form One is familiar with peat used by the through peril and persecution.
