Peaches Are Victory Food Special’; Here's Method for Canning Them

FROM TIME TO TIME, the marketing administrator of the U. S. ‘department of agriculture designates certain foods as “victory food spe-

! cials.”

These are foods that, for one reason or another, are super- | abundant on the market and therefore generally cheaper.

For the next

few weeks, the special is peaches. Although they can be used daily in menus, many women have written saying they would like to “put up” peaches for future meals. Here is how to do it through the hot pack method.

college-educated and specially trained for work with paid professionals, in child care, health, hospital and other civilian services work. Business and industrial publications are full of comment on this picture—of women working away from home, and especially of women

working both outside and at home.

One business journal remarks that

since married women make better outside-workers than single ones, but will not slight family and home-making responsibility, maybe it would be better to adjust working hours to their schedules. However, if Uncle Sam doesn’t get hoped-for respense to his appeals for volunteers you can look for an early enforced registration of -

woman-power.

If you want a job, or want to shift from a non-essential to an essential job, you should register with the closest U. S. employment ofé

There are hundreds of them scattered over the country. They

will send you to an available job, or they will route you to a vocational

Pack and Process

Pack the hot fruit with its juice in clean, hot, sterilized jars. Fill each jar to within an inch of the top and pack the fruit firmly but not too tight. Process the jars of peaches in a boiling water bath. You can rig up such a water-bath canner from a large kettle or a wash boiler , . . any vessel with a tight cover, and big enough to hold several jars and allow for covering them with one or two inches of water. Fit the canner with a rack to hold the jars off the bottom. Have water in the canner boiling before you put in the jars of fruit. Place the jars on the rack, leaving enough room for water to circulate freely around and under each one. Make sure the water comes over the jar tops at least one or two inches, lland keep it that way throughout the processing. Put the top on the canner and start counting processing time as soon as the water begins

Science Service Writer THE CHIEF THING to remem-

ber about hot weather eating is that the body requires the same kinds and amount of nourishment in summer as in winter. The advice one used to hear about eating lightly in hot weather, avoiding this, that or the other kind of food, and so on, does not follow the facts now known about nutrition. Overeating should be avoided, of course, in summer or any other season. But you need enough food calories to give you energy for the day’s activities. You need protein, from meat, fish, poultry and eggs and cheese. You need some starches and sweets, though most Americans can, as they are now finding out, get along with far less sweets than they are accustomed to eat. You need vitamins and minerals, which come from milk, whole grain or enriched cereals and bread, from fresh fruits and vegetables and from fresh lean meat and organ meats such as liver and kidneys. The only hot weather diet restriction suggested by U. S. public health service nutrition authorities is on fried foods and rich pastries.

young ‘ones doesn’t try to do anything else. She leaves her work until afternoon and concentrates on the small fry. It is her job to supervise their play, keep them from batting each other's brains out, and to keep them out of the street. That system is working fine in neighborhoods where the women are intelligent enough to co-operate with each other, and where there are enough children in the same age group to make the plan worthwhile. As the war goes on and every one gets busier and busier and the things we can buy become fewer and fewer—SHARE is going to become an increasingly important word. The more plans we work out for sharing goods responsibility, work, and everything else—the easier our lives will be.

However, the smartest and best houses are advising their customers, as usual, that a lapin which looks frankly like good lapin is a wiser buy than muskrat trying to look like mink. I would advise you too, and strongly, to choose your fur coat for what it is. Choose good skins of the kind you can afford. And choose one whose cut is not too pretentious for the fur. Encouragement to do just that is given by this season’s important emphasis on casual, classic, and sports coats for every occasion. For instance, there's a wheat-glow lapin little “boys’” coat with back vent and wide revers—excellent choice for the budget-bound girl or woman who can afford but one simple coat, as well as for the woman who wants a “second” coat to wear when her mink feels too dressed-up.

Short jackets of this type look wonderfully smart over slim skirts —in fact, they look so smart that they are featured in the most expensive furs as well as in the budget group of ocelot, raccoon, nutria and harp seal.

Foods of this types, it is explained, tend to increase heat production, but keeping cool depends not so much on diminishing heat production by the body as on getting I rid ‘of the heat produced. » 2 2 WARM DAYS generally stimulate an appetite - for crisp, cool salads and fruits and vegetables. This is a good thing because most of us would fare better, nutritionists tell us, if we regularly ate more of these things. We should remember, however, the need even in hot weather for other foods. A vegetable salad and a glass of iced tea makes a refreshing lunch but it does not contain many calories. the end of a hot afternoon may be due not only to the heat but to lack of enough energy-furnishing food at lunch for the afternoon’s work or other activity. Not everyone's digestive tract can stand large amounts of raw fruits and vegetables. Cooked vegetable salads and stewed fruits, the delicious compotes of European meals of a happier day, can go on hot weather menus if the raw fruits and
