EAT NUTRITIONAL FOOD ‘The good old Yankee custom of putting up, food for the winter is being practised throughout the land this summer. No doubt you too, will be filling pantry and cooler shelves while orchard and field crops are plentiful. For fraits and berries the shortage of sugar is not too serious a check. Some berries can be put up in natural juices without sugar. Or you can stretch your sugar allotment by the use of honey for sweetening. Jams ane for fruit can be made with all honey or half honey and sugar. For vegetables do not trust old methods for cold or hot pack. Seek the latest and safest methods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, your State Extension Service or this company’s home economists. It is wasteful and dangerous to can vegetables by impr munition of war. Buy it right. C jellies or syrup ip methods. Food is a ook it right. Can it right.

LOCAL TEACHER’S SKETCHES ARE ON EXHIBITION Madge Harding, Nevada County schoolteacher, has a group of children’s sketches on exhibition in Sacramento at Crocker Art Gallery. The sketches are in black and white and in color. Pictures of two _lof the sketches were in The Sacramento Union yesterday. A picture was also run by The Sacramento Bee in its Saturday issue. The Sacramento Union art critic praises the local artist’s work as follows: “She paints exquisite and imaginative characters that will delight children and grownups alike. Her feeling for color which expresses moods, her flair for design as well as her excellent anatomical drawing deserves superlatives. Probably the best thing that can be said is that she is not imitating Walt Disney but has developed a unique set of characters of her own. Her work will undoubtedly be seen in children’s books when she is ‘discovered’.”’ [ELIZA PRISK, MARY MURDOCH PASS AWAY Deaths during the weekend included Mrs. Bliza Prisk,, 93, longtime resident of Grass Valley, Mrs. Mary Murdoch, 94, of Smartville and Geo.
