"Wb have used

years. I have found
it of great help in
raising my family.
"I have given it
to all aix of my chil-

they complain of
upset stomach, or
begin to look pale
and sickly, I make
a tea of Black-Draught and
begin giving it to them. In a
day or two they are all right.
"I give it to them for con-
stipation, and my husband and
I both take it I always give
it for colds in winter, for I be-

THE "CAN" IN CANNING
The pressure cooker puts the "can"
In canning. While canning was a big
t irTBiffinnin Improvement over
' v the earlier meth-
ods of food preser-
vation by salting
and drying, it was
not until the pres-
sure cooker was
adapted to house-
i mm hold use that the

Ethyl C. Morgan: j0ijv -vvith' a Pulley
water-bath canner monopolizing the
•whole stove top, and the escaping
steam making the already fiot kitchen
Btill hotter. The pressure cooker haa
changed ail this. Because cooking
at temperatures higher than boiling is
made possible, the time for cooking Is
shortened. Instead of boiling the cans
of meat, for instance, for three to four
hours, they may be sterilized In the
pressure cooker for thirty minutes at
ten pounds pressure, if partially
cooked before, and sixty minutes if
uncooked. A proportionate time sav-

The pressure cooker Is particularly

OFFER $5,825 IN PRIZES IN
NATIONAL CANNING CONTEST
To ward off a threatened surplus of farm
products in nwny sections and to Impress
more housewives with the economy and
healtlifulncss of home canned foods, a Na-
tional Canning Contest it now under way
to find the best jar of canned fruit, vege-
tables and meat in the country. Two hun-
dred and twenty-two cash prizes totalling
$5,825 have been hung up by the Sears-
Rceb'jck Agricultural Foundation, Including
a gran J swe^pctakes prize of $1,250 for
the best jar of canned focd entered in the
contcct. Ar. y woman or girl is eligible to
enter the contest, but entries must be in' not
later than Octobar 1, 1929. Further informa-
tion on the contest and free jar and entry

ing in small amounts. By putting each
day's surplus in her pressure cooker
while doing up her morning kitchen
work, she soon has the shelves full
without the messiness of an all-day
canning Job. Only an occasional
glance at the pressure gauge Is re-
quired for one soon learns just how
high to turn the flame to keep the
pressure constant.
This saves not only time and labor
but food as well for the pressure cook-
er makes it possible for her to can
the small amounts which she would
have thrown away rather than bother
with when canning by the older meth-
ods.
