Do Not Hoard Canned Foods if You Have a Large Supply.

What a difference a long row of canned foods in your fruit closet makes in your state of mind. It answers the question, “What am I going to have for dinner tonight and how am I going to get it?” It also does away with the terrors of the unexpected guest. Your problem is solved, the row of canned foods has simplified life for you. Last summer the entire'country was smitten with the healthy contagion of canning. Women who had always delicately avoided even speaking of what went on in their kitchens, rolled up their sleeves and spent hours studying and putting into effect the “cold pack” method, other women who generally only “preserved,” last, summer canned vegetables, meats, soups and, some of them, even fish. Mow that we have all .this canned foodstuff on hand, don’t board, use it!
