SOUP AS YOU LIKE IT-HOME CAN ITi""j :.#m ;' A .: •:• ■ - ■'s£!&*■**' ' rirmSr'*^ ■ l< if The war years taught almost everybody something about home canning. Because of the emergency, emphasis was placed on basic spoilage-preventing rules and on quantity rather than indi viduality. Now the time has come when more thought can be given to selecting, preparing, seasoning, and canning foods as YOU, not someone else, may like them. Canning rules cannot be ignored, but standardization of flavors and seasonings has no place in the<j food preservation program of the homemaker who exercises the privi lege of setting her own food stand ards. Naturally those standards should be high, furthermore the taste preferences of those who share the food must be considered. Take the matter of soup. Once you get the habit of using your own brand prepared and seasoned as you like it, you will never want any other. Nothing quite takes the place of a really wonderful home-made veg etable soup. Our favorite recipe for canning it contains no cabbage, no turnip, no onion, because we are like G.I. Joe—we don’t like THAT canned soup taste and odor. But if that’s what you like, put the cab bage in, turnips' too, but if they go in, other things might as well stay cut because these strong vegeta- By GEN. DWIGHTD. EISENHOWER Chief of Staff, U. S. Army Millions of American fighting men upon return to civilian life have discovered that allotment of part of current income for in vestment in United States Savings Bonds has become a vital element in family life. During their military service they were made familiar with war bonds as a force for their per sonal good. In a campaign on the battlefield, victory may depend upon how ably an army and its individual mem bers conserve their strength and supplies for vital moments. At tainment of goals in civilian life also depends upon proper husband ing and safeguarding of an in dividual’s resources. The former serviceman who looks forward to a home or busi ness of his own, education for his children, or even indulgence in a hobby can best work toward these ■ T“1 1 -9 THIHGS rou MAY Quiz For Marylanders MCi^v,^ owM — ’ By QUENTIN HOWE Answer to Question 1: Governor Eden, last Colonial Governor of Maryland and an ancestor of Anthony Eden of England, owned the famous race horse “Whynot,” one of the greatest race horses of his day. Governor Eden is buried at the State House in Annapolis. Gov ernor Bowie also owned the great race horse, “Crickmore,” in the 1880’s. “Crickmore” beat the famous “Hindu.” Truly, horse racing is a Maryland tradition. Answer to Question 2: The Gentlemen of the Mary land Jockey Club who operate Pimlico will tell you that two people—and two people only— pay the bills for Maryland rac ing. These two are the horseman who brings his horse to Pimlico and the man or woman who comes to Pimlico to witness the racing. The State of Maryland contributes no money to Mary land racing. That is why, at Pim lico, the horseman and the public come first in all considerations. Answer to Question 3: Although Pimlico handles a great deal of money, Pimlico’s dividends are less than two per cent Why? Because of all the !

However, a Slice or two of onion added when the soup is put on to heat for about fifteen minutes for serving, gives a fresh out-of-the-gar den flavor. The Vegetable Mixture may be thinned with milk or water before heated for serving, but is much better when thinned with meat stock or broth. Vegetable soup gets along all right without garnish, but if it is to be the mainstay of a lunch or supper, you might like a piece of toast covered with grated cheese floating in each bowl. Crackers or bread sticks are usually served with vegetable soup but our choice is midget corn pones, about two inches long, crusty and hot. Gladys Kimbrough, editor of the famous Ball Blue Book of canning ends by remembering his war training. Prepare, prepare, pre pare—this was his life during war time. The efficiency of his own preparations was the greatest in gredient of our victory over the Axis nations. The ex-soldier is fortunate to find that the Treasury Department with the cooperation of business, in dustry, banks and post offices is continuing the sale of savings bonds. Thus he will have the op portunity to prepare for future commitments or temporary per sonal emergencies by saving some of his current income in the form of bonds, which grow in value the longer he holds them. While obviously it is not my prerogative to tell our veterans how to conduct their lives after their release from the Army, nev ertheless, my continuing interest in their welfare impels me to urge that they give serious considera tion to the advantages offered by United States Savings Bonds.

It is: 5 quarts chopped tomatoes 2 quarts sliced okra or 2 quarts small green lima beans 2 quarts corn 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons salt Cook tomatoes until soft, then press through sieve to remove skin and seed. Add other ingredients and cook until thick. Pour into hot jars. Process 60 minutes at 10 pounds pressure. “Odds and Ends’' Usable Miss Kimbrough also told us that many people like to put “all the odds and ends” they can find in the garden in the soup, and she thinks that’s all right if that’s the way one wants it. It seems that all you do is: prepare the vegetables and boil them five or ten minutes with water to cover or with tomatoes which have been skinned and chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Pour boiling hot into hot jars. Process for the time required for the vege table (in the soup) requiring longest processing time.

BENSON President—Hunting College Good Strategy Congressman Hatton Sumners, in my opinion one’of America’s great est living statesmen, has announced his purpose to retire at the end of the 79th congress. This news first appeared as a dark cloud because men like him are sorely needed to day, but in Washington last month I was shown the silver lining. Rep. Sumners is “retiring” to a more strategic theatre of war. The people of America have a dan ger that is common to them all and a common duty to defend them selves against it. This nation’s hope for a bright future depends on a few facts being seen by a great many people at once. Americans can be depended upon for action at any time the truth is not hidden from them or distorted beyond rec ognition. Mr. Sumners will soon start talking straight to them. Powerful Truths “I have watched what my own generation . . . has been doing to the greatest system of democratic government ever evolved through the processes of the ages,” said the veteran lawmaker. “By ignoring principles and the lessons of his tory, accepting for our guidance the theories of men and political ex pedience, we have made dependents of our citizens and vassals of our states. “By concentration of power and drafts on the Federal Treasury we now have a bewildering govern mental agglomeration impossible of democratic control. Wasteful and inefficient, by nature it is the instru mentality of favoritism, oppression and corruption. It is the destroyer of self-reliance, self-respect and self governing ability without which no people can remain free.” But There’s Hope A public awakening will save this country from any form of tyranny. Mr. Sumners does not doubt this. He said, “Washington is as sensi tive to the changing currents of pub lic opinion as a barometer is to re cord changes in the weather.” If acts of congress fail to reflect pub lic sentiment, it is because such sen timent is itself confused or indis tinct to the majority. Mr. Sumners is taking to the lec ture platform. I wish him as wide a hearing as his profound experi ence deserves. Popular education is the right place to start winning for America a future of freedom. This man has seen Congress sweat under heat applied by political pres sure groups. He sees the need to open a door and admit a cooling draft of public sentiment. And he can do it. Remarkable Record Born in Tennessee, Hatton Sum ners turned 21 in Texas. His con gressional district (Dallas) has kept him in Washington 34 years by electing him to the 63rd and all sub sequent congresses. He is a sound thinker and an eloquent speaker. He is a nationally recognized authority on Constitutional Law. He is chair man of the House Judiciary Com mittee and has been for a long time. In a brief and eloquent word-pic ture of official Washington, the re tiring crusader for decentralization of power said, of Congress: “The political backing of a well organized minority is consistent and depend able whereas the backing of an un organized majority is fickle.” That’s clear. An enlightened public opin ion must supplant loud and selfish minorities as guiding stars of Con gress. o The Federal Budget Can Be Balanced “We urge members of Congress and citizens who believe in a balanced budget to support now every move to put the United States on a sound fiscal basis. Only if that is done can our country successfully discharge its obli gations.” This appeal, voiced by 16 informed members of the House and Senate, of both major parties, gives new impetus to the movement for a balance of next year’s federal budget. As the budget estimates come under closer scrutiny, many opportunities appear for reduction of the proposed expenditures chargeable against cur rent revenues. The budget can be balanced. As submitted to the Congress, the budget proposed expenditures of near ly $36 billion but, as pointed out by the 16 members of Congress, almost half this total is composed of tentative estimates without detail. “A determined Congress,” they say, “with citizen backing can find the cuts needed for budget balancing” in some $23 billion of the proposed expendi tures. For the first time in years, Congress is in a good position to resume effec tive controls of spending and to enforce needed economies. Let’s back our representatives up. Vacationer and his money are soon parted DOGS CONTRIBUTE TO FAMINE RELIEF Pel Food Manufacture Cut Back to 80 Per Cent of 1945 America’s dogs, like the American people, are doing their bit toward , the alleviation of famine conditions abroad, reports the Gaines Dog Re | search Center, New York City. As a step in meeting America’s ; commitments of food supplies for i overseas shipments, this country’s . pet food manufacturers have been , cut back in their production to 80 per cent of what they put out last year. This means that Fido will get only four-fifths of his favorite pre pared dog food he received during 1945. He had looked forward to larger portions of food with the return of peace, and is naturally disappointed in receiving even less than he did in the midst of war. But Fido is not growling—he is taking it like a good sport. Like the general public, how ever, he is naturally hopeful that the emergency will end before very long. Reduction in the volume of pre pared dog foods this year comes as a setback to the dog-Dwning house wife as well. For years, and particu larly during the war years, she has been depending on dry dog foods for meeting the nutritional requirements of her household pet. Keeping a dog on meal-type food involves no more effort than giving him a drink of water. One merely measures out the required amount and adds warm water, milk, soup or gravy in the consistency preferred by the pet. No muss, no waste of leftovers, and—of course—no fussing in the kitchen and no special cooking of dog dishes. Small wonder homemakers have gone in for it in a big way! The established popularity of dry dog foods, by the way, is already a source of deep concern for manufac turers of canned dog foods—when they come back. And for these rea sons: without benefit of fresh meat or canned food for years America’s dogs have emerged from the war in better health than ever before. Dry dog foods are easily mixed with table scraps, and there are no left overs to be kept under refrigeration. An entire month’s supply takes less shelf space than a week’s supply of the canned dog foods, and more and more dog-owners are beginning to balk at paying the same rate for moisture as for the solid part of food. The Gaines Dog Research Center offers the following feeding sugges tions as particularly applicable for the duration of the famine emer gency: 1. Maintain a regular feeding schedule. Unless feeding regularity is maintained, a dog is likely to “go off feed.” . W#' ’*’* wg|| Tpl* There is les9 ready-to-eat food for Fido today than during the war. 2. Use wholesome table leftovers, carefully selected, as meal, extenders. Avoid feeding chicken or fish bones and anything else with sharp edges. 3. If your dog does not clean up his plate within a reasonable time, prepare a smaller amount the next time. Also cut down on his helping if he is putting on too much weight. 4. Don’t worry if your dog has no appetite for one or two meals—pro vided he is otherwise healthy and active. When he becomes hungry, he’ll eat again—and his fast usually does him good. DEATHS MRS.
