DRESSMAKING HINT
When women could get plenty)
of satisfactory ready-to-wear)
clothing in pre-war days at prices j
in line with family budgets,many ;
felt timid about cutting into new !
yard goods. But wartime chang-1
es in supply, cost, and quality of |
ready-mades have led many to)
want to try their hands at rnak-1
ing simple washable dresses. To'
help these home sewers, the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
has prepared a new illustrated
Farmers’ Bulletin, No. 1954,
“Making a Dress at Home.’’
This publication gives clear, sim
ple directions for every step
from selecting the pattern and
material to turning the hem and
making the buttonholes. Al
though the bulletin is written es
pecially for beginners, experi
enced homemakers will find in it
tips for turning out garments
with a professional look.
In eastern lands they talk in
flowers, and tell in a garland

WARTiMTESSENTIAL-YOUR I
OWN HOME-CANNED TOMATOES
Photo Couricjy Ball Bros. Co,
Let there be no doubt about it, loss of homo-canned tomatoes is
{ unnecessary at any time and inexcusable in war-time, unnecessary be
cause spoilage is caused by carelessness in selecting, preparing, pack-
I ing, and canning, or by not following the manufacturer’s instructions
for using jars and caps, inexcusable because wasting food is wicked.
Gladys Kimbrough, Home Service**
Director for Ball Brothers Company,
advises home canners to put up
large quantities of tomatoes and ex
plains how failures can be avoided.
“First of all, use jars that were
made for home canning and use
them according to the simple step
| by-step instructions furnished by the
1 manufacturer—commercial cast-offs
i are expensive in the long run. Get
[ the jars and caps ready oefore pre
-1 paring the tomatoes.
1 “Next, get your water-bath can
ner ready. Any deep kettle, lard
can, metal bucket or pail, or wash
boiler will do if it has a cover and
, something to keep the jars from
touching the bottom. A home-made
j wire or wooden rack will serve the
1 latter purpose. The water in the
canner must be steaming (not boil
: ing) when the jars are lowered into
1 it, and deep enough to coyer the
tops of the jars one or more inches,
i “Use locally grown, garden-fresh,
red-ripe tomatoes. Examine every
; tomato. Those having small spots
1 or raw weather cracks may be set
aside to use in chili sauce but should
, not be used for canning. Wash the
tomatoes clean before they are
scalded for skinning and scald
enough at a time to fill two quart
jars and no more.
“Scalding takes from one-half to
one minute and the easiest way is
to put the tomatoes in the center of
a square of cheese cloth, then gath
er up the cloth by its four corners
1 and lower the tomatoes into a kettle
of boiling water. Suit your own
pleasure about dipping the scalded
tomatoes into cold water. They are
a bit more comfortable to handle if
cold dipped. Cut all the core and
any healed weather cracks out of a
tomato, then slip off the skin, re
-1 move the black spot at the blossom
' end and any green or white spots
that may show after the skin is off.
“Drop the tomato into a clean hot
i jar. Cut it into two or more pieces
i if it is too large to go through the

mouth of the jar. After two or three (
tomatoes are in the jar, press them '
gently with a wooden spoon until
they crack and their juice fills the
space between them. Continue skin
ning, packing, and pressing the to
matoes until the jar is filled to with
in one inch of the top, then add one
or two teaspoons salt, and close the
jar according to the manufacturer’*
instructions.
“Work quickly until you have
enough jars packed to fill the can
ner, then put them in the canner
slowly. Bring the water to boiling
as quickly as possible. When bub
bles are dancing all over the top
of the water, begin counting can
ning or processing time and lower
heat. Keep the water boiling stead
ily but quietly for forty-five minutes,
then take the jars out and set them
several inches apart and out of a
draft to cool.
“This is known as the cold pack i
method and gives a canned product
of superior flavor, but the tomatoes
tend to shrink a good bit in cooking
and there is usually some waste '
space in the jars. If you object
to wasting a small amount of jar
space, you should select and pre
pare the tomatoes as suggested,
then cook them in a covered pan
until they are boiling hot before put
ting them into clean hot jars for
processing fifteen minutes at boiling
in a water bath canner.
“Although the water bath is the
preferred method, cold packed to
matoes may be processed in a steam
pressure cooker for ten minutes at
five pounds pressure. It is best to
forget about the old-fashioned open
kettle method, but if you must use
it, remember to work at the stove j
so that everything—jars, caps, lids, I
rubbers, and food—can be kept boil- j
ing hot and every jar filled and 1
sealed in double quick time.
"Don’t risk canning tomatoes in
an oven and do, please, remember
that trick methods such as the ‘blan
ket’ are likely to trick you.’’ . ‘
