CANNING OF SOUPS
How to Prepare Stock Economical
Use of Products Which 3Iight
Otherwise be Wasted.
;
At times it is a great convenience
to the housewife to be able to reach
to a shelf for a can of soup, open it,
heat it, and serve it within a few
minutes time. The Department of
Agriculture's specialists in home canning-club
instruction point out that
the next logical stp for the club
members after learning to can fruits
and vegetables is to transform meat
scraps, bones, ligaments, and odds
and ends of vegetables and cereals
into an economical, as well as palat
able, soup something that can be
made ready in a few minutes for use
as a hot dish.
Directions for 3Iaking Soup Stock
Secure 25 pounds of beef hocks,
joints, and bones "containing marrow
and strip off the fat and meat, crack
ing the bones with a hatchet or cleav
er. Place the bones within a thin
cloth sack and put them into a large
kettle containing 5 gallons of cold
water. Simmer, but do not boil, for
6 or 7 hours, then skim off all fat
from the liquid. Do not salt while
simmering. This should make about
5 gallons of soup stock. Pack the
stock while hot in glass jars, bottles,
or enameled cr lacquered tin cans,
and partially seal the jars; if tin cans
are used, cap and tip. If using a
hot-water bath outfit, sterilize-for 40
minutes; if using a water-seal or 5
pounds of steam pressure outfit, ster
ilize for 30 minutes, or 25 minutes
if using pressure cooker oiitfit.
A good vegetable soup may be
made, according to the department's
experts, as follow: Soak one-fourth
of a pound of lima beans and 1
pound of rice in water for 12 hours.
Cook one-half pound of barley" for
2 hours. Blanch 1 pound of carrots
1 pound of onions, 1 medium-sized
potato, and 1 red pepper for 3 min
utes in boiJing hot water, and then
quickly dip into cold water. After
this is done, the carrots, onions, po
tato, and pepper should be cut into
small cubes and mixed thoroughly
with the lima beans and rice which
have been cooked as described above
Fill the glass jars or lacquered or en
ameled tin cans three-fourths full of
the above mixture of vegetables and
cereals. The next step is tc prepare
a smooth paste from one-half pound
of wheat flour blended with 5 gallons
of soup stock. Boil this mixture for
3 minutes and add 4 ounces of salt.
Pour this mixture or stock over the
vegetables until the cans are full,
partially seal the jars, or cap and
tip the tin cans, and sterilize for 90
minutes if using a hot-water bath
outfit; 75 minutes if using a water
seal or 5 pounds of steam pressure
oufit; 45 minutes if using pressure
cooker.
Cream of Pea Simp
Soak in water overnight 8 pounds
of dried peas. Cook the peases until
they are soft, and then mash them
fine. Add to the mashed peas 5
gallons of soup stock, and bring the
whole to a boil; then pass the boil
ing liquid through a-fine sieve. Make
a smooth paste by mixing one-half
pound of flour and a little water;
add 10 ounces of sugar and 3 ounces
of salt, and add the whole to the peas
and soup stock. Cook the whole un
til the soup begins to thicken and
then pack in the glass jars or tin
cans. If using a hot-water bath out-:
fit, sterilize for 90 minutes; 80 min
utes if using water-seal outfit; or 45
minutes in pressure cooiker.
Cream of Potato Soup
Boil iy2 pounds of potatoes, sliced
thin, with 5 gallons of soup stock,
for 10 minutes. Add 3 ounces of
salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of peper,
and one-half pound of butter, and
boil slowly for 5 minutes. Make 3
tablespoonfuls of flour into smooth
paste and add to the above. Cook
3 minutes and pack in glass jars, or
cans while hot. Partially seal jars
or cap and tip the tin cans. Sterilize
90 minutes if using hot-water bath
outfit; 75 minutes if using water
seal outfit; or 45 minutes if using
pressure cooker.
Bean Soup
Soak 3 pounds of beans 12 hours
in cold water. Cut 2 pounds of ham
meat into 14 -inch cubes and place in
a small sack. Place beans, ham, and
4 gallons of water in kettle and boil
slowly until th ebeans are very soft.
Remove the ham and beans from the
liquor and mash the beans fine. Re
turn ham and mashed beans to the
liquor and add 5 gallons of soup
stock and seasoning and bring to boil
Fill into glass jars and tin cans while
hot. Partially seal glass jars, or cap
Plan to Settle War
Germany to sell to France Alsace
Lorraine for an equivalent of its real
value and retire , from France and
Belgium, but to have commercial ac
cess to the Belgium seaport, which
would be declared a free port; Ger
many to pay over to Belgium the a
mount acquired from France to re
store Belgium; the Colonies to be re
stored to Germany to be England's
and Japan's peace concessions; Aus
tria and Italy to agree between each
other for a settlement and urged toJ
do so by the other nations; Constan
tinople to be a free port to appease
Russia. Turkey to acquiesce and
Austria and Servia to. agree between
themselves to settle their differences;
establish a World Court able to en
force its decrees by an international
police force of the world military
and naval forces superior to those ofH
any single power in the world. All
the above Nations pledge themselves
for a peace to last 50 years at least,
a-greeing as advantages to be gained
thereby to reduce their armeies and
navies to a peace basis, which would
admit during that period, of the li
quidating their liabilities incurred by
the war. All these Nations to obli
gate themselves to work in uniso
maintain peace not only among
themselves but throughout the world
I feel quite sure that the United
States, South America and China
would gladly join in the combination
for the great advantages that would
accrue to" them by the certain assur
ance of peace prevailing for the next
50 years.
HENRY CLEWS,
HIS LAST WORDS
What He Said in His Dying Moment
of Agony
(State Journal)
Not so long ago, in one of the
beautiful tidewater towns of the
State, a ghastly deed was done. A
man was stabbed, again and again
and again near a score of times
so that he fell where he wTas and
died where he fell. The slayer was
tried with the usual formalities. Wit
nesses testified, lawyers made speech-
es, the judge charged the jury, the
Verdict followed and the prisioner
was sentenced to pnsion for a term
,of years.
There was nothing so

very unusual about the trial. The
people read about it all in the papers
and soon forgot it. It is needless to
.rehearse it here. Society used the
best means it has been able to devise
to administer justice, so let it pass.
But there was an incident connected
with the last moments of the dead
man, which it may be worth while , to
relate.
When the stricken man sank to
the ground, with his life blood gush
ing from his many wounds, he asked
that some one pray for him, because
kew that his end was at hand.
those who had gathered around
Trim stood dumb in their horror.
When silence was the only answer to
his request, he began to pray for
himself. Whether, in the hurly
burly of a busy life, he had learned
no other prayer, or whether, when
his mind ran swiftly back over the
years he had spent, as they say the
mind does in extreme moments, he

i
ion of a good woman bending over
the bowed head of a little boy as
knelt in evening prayer, it is needless
now to inquire; but this is what he
said as best he could in his dying
agony:
"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pr-pray the Lord my soul to ke
keep If I sh-should die before I
wake I p-pray the Lord my
soul to to ta ta"
The crimson stream of life had
ceased to flow, and so it was that
this strong man died with the pray
er of childhood on his lips. The tide
went out to the sea; the stars looked
down from on high; and in thous
ands of homes little children were
kneeling with bowed heads saying
their "Now I lay me's." And thus
it happened that when Sandalphon,
the Angel of Prayer, gathered up the
"Now I lay me's" that night and
bore them as a garland of pure white
osseins through the portals of the
