Home Cancers Advised How to Avoid V

Deadly BotuUnus Poisoning '

"'pHERE is vital need to can as many vegetables as possible as

well as Crult; but the only safe way to can any vegetables, except toma-toes, is by corrftct use of the pres* sure cooker" advises Katharine risher, Director of Good House-keeping Intstitute. *^hi8 method is the only on^ wMdi provides tibie hotter-tIuui-4>oilins heat that's nec-essaiy to kill 4>otalInas serms which may be on any non-acid food you c a n - ^ d that means aU vegetables except tomatoes. When botnlinns germs are not killed in the canning psocess. they thrive in seided Jan and create a powerhil poison.

"TUs iMtnUnns poisoning eoMM from bacteria lhat live in tbe soil tnd cling to vegetables. AUhonc^ rare» t ^ poUma. Is parttcnlarlj cUu-«roiu because it luaaUy doei not

or taste. Analyses of soil indicate that there is a chance that botulinns spores may be found almost any-where. Fortunately, they are harm-less until they get in air-tight jars ol canned fqod."

Use Pressure Cooker "Correct use of the pressure cooker

also protects against other types of spoilage," Miss Fisher ^aid. "A re-cent national survey showed that home jcanners who put up non-acid vegetables by the hot wato bath method reported a hundred per cent greater rate of spoilage than those who used the ^pressure cookw method."

"Never taste to discov« wolt age," Good Housekeeping advises. "AU honM canned protects diouli b eixam^ed carefnUy when opened iind. If tbere is any ev$dence.of spctf-m ^ e ioo^ Bhooia s ^ M niet.*'
