Homemaking—

Warning on Botulism |s Repeated

As Home Canning Season Advances

THE HOME CANNING DRIVE iz on, and it is a major war activity. We have an army of some 25 million home canners serviced by 20 million victory gardens. . But a hidden danger lies in home canning unless done under scientific conditions. The enemy is the bacillus botulinus, a spore with a Pearl Harbor mind. This bacillus is present in the soil and is transferred from the soil to food products. It germinates only in the absence of air; therefore the airless! interior of a sealed can or, glass jar is the ideal condition for its {growth and production of toxins in the food. | However, the spores can be de- | stroyed by sustained high tempera- { ture, Housewives who can use steam pressure cookers can can with safety.
