fully, "they do take your mind off

No Pressure
Canner?
THEN SAVE VEGETABLES
WITH SALT
A bag of salt, a 5 or 10 gallon
crock, and a cool storage place ?0
to 75 degrees F.—and you have a
set-up for saving those garden
snap beans and a dozen or so other
vegetables by suiting or brining.
Brining is a safe and suc-
cessful way bf preserving many
vegetables that will pot can
safely without a pressure
cooker. No war-scarce equipment
is necessary. So the U. S. Depart-
ment' of Agriculture advises house-
wives to put garden vegetables
down in brine rather than putting
them up by risky cunning methods.
For further details on how to brine
vegetables, see your local Couftty
Home Demonstration Agent of the
Extension Service.

Will you write a letter to a Prisoner of War
night ?
Maybe he’s one of Jimmie Doolittle’s boys. Perhaps he
was left behind when Bataan fell. Anyway, he’s an Ameri-
can, and he hasn’t had a letter in a long, long time.
And when you sit down to write, tell him why you
didn’t buy your share of War Bonds last pay day.
“Dear Joe,” you might say, “the old topcoat was getting
kind of threadbare, so I ... ”
No, cross it out. Joe mightnpt understand about the top-
coat, especially if he’s shivenng in a damp Japanese cell.
Let’s try again. “Dear Joe, I’ve been working pretty
hard and haven’t had a vacation in over a year, so ... "
Hell, better cross that out, too. They don’t ever get vaca-
tions where Joe's staying.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go ahead, write the
letter to Joe. Try to write it, anyhow.
But mister, if somehow you find you can’t finish
that letter, will you, at least, do this for Joe? Will
you up the amount of money you’re putting into
War Bonds and keep buying your share from here on in ?
