Canned Food Is Wholesome The use of preserved foods, fresh vegetables, fruits, meats and almost everything edible, packed either in tin or in glass, is a matter of such everyday experience that few people realize ' what an' extremely new thing it is in human life. A hundred years ago the canning of food was practically unheard of. It is only within fifty years or so that the present safe modern methods of canning have been developed. Up to the 1870 'a, the only effective ways in general use of preserving food stuffs were those of Baiting, smoking, pickling, drying or preserving with spices. The opening up of trade routes between Europe and the East Indies, in the Middle Ages, was due, as much as to any one cause, to the demand in Europe for pepper, cloves, all-spice, and other pungent, aromatic spices grown in I the East, which could be used to preserve meats and other foods. In the World War our soldiers were fed largely on canned meats, canned byns, canned fish, and an immense variety of canned vegetables, soups and fruits preserves, all of them already al-ready cooked. Military rations in the Civil War consisted only of such foods as could be preserved by salting, smoking and drying. The cooking had to be done in the field. . - The last prejudice against canned foods ought to disappear in the light of the report of Dr. Wi II. Eddy, of Columbia University, Uni-versity, who has conducted extensive tests with forty-nine different dif-ferent canned foods, including milk, meats "and fowl, vegetables and fruits. Dr. Eddy informed the American Chemical Society, , the other day, that these tests show that the vitamins A, B, C, j'and Q, which are essential for health, are contained in foods canned by modern processes, in substantially the same degree t that they are to be found in the fresh products. Vf It is inevitable that the use of canned foods will increase 1 as population tends to concentrate in the cities, and the problem of fresh food supply and of domestic cooking become more eomplex. The canning industry is one of the largest in the United States, but it bids fair to be much larger. In several parts of i the country co-operative canneries, owned and operated by the farmers who grow the products which are canned, have been successful. Co-operative projects of that kind are among the enterprises which the Federal Farm Board is authorized to , assist with financial co-operation and expert advice. There is -room for many more of them, wherever a sufficient number of farmers are willing to agree to produce the necessary supplies of raw, material to keep such a cannery in operation. mineral pr4cta and aonrasUlllo mlMnl product! other than fueb and of mineral fuels produced m the United States in 110: , .

Carbon Dioxide company at Parnham , dome near Price, ha tarted to make the novel refrigeration refrig-eration proJuct at the rate of nix tons dally, according- to F. F. Fox, engineer at the plant. Dry Ice, which la many tlmfe colder than ordinary Ice, Is made from Carbon dioxide ga secured at the welL Another outlet for the ,av vFarnham. dojne proAuci tui t tne field f carbonated gas. which is used In all effervescing soft drinks. The supply Is said to be plentiful enough that an ordinary can can k fllla fr.,m that wall lit Ivn minutes. The main problem connected with making dry Ice, has been the purl t Ication of the gas. Although 8 per cent pure carbon dioxide the gas must be treated In order to git lid of Its I per cent of impurities. According to the account given of the Farnham dome plant, the gas la first run through a solution of brine which cools the gas and turns It to dry Ice. a material which looks very much like snow. This snow Is taken and packed In heavy presses where It becomes more congealed and takes on the consistency of Ice. The principal field for dry ice at present will probably be the Icing of freight can. On a larger scale, officers of the eotnpany believe that the Ice can be made at a price to compete with ordinary or-dinary ice. In some Industrial centers cent-ers in the east, plants costing bund-reds bund-reds of thousands of dollars have been erected to make dry ice cu. of coke, but with a large supply coming directly out of the ground. 11 of tills Initial expense can b I IFsiNe 6OOO TrSNfi ABOUT TM6S6 BABY AUTO 5 IS THAT TMCYVt STOPPED FOLKS MAKIN BAD JOh ABOUT fORD THE TIME TO BUY? $1060.00 Is when values are low.

Inquire of JAMES II. CLARKE . American Fork, Utah ON LOOKING AHEAD Agriculture looks ahead and far beyond the drabness of spring soil to rih fields of errain and plenty. Then it is a matter of the care and management given to the land that makes it yield abundantly. The family man in every walk of life, should also look ahead to the day when it may not be possible for him to administer to loved ones. Why not consider starting a savings account ac-count now.
