His death was the third in his family j in this war, the last of three cousins to lose their : lives. The first one s reported was La- Verne Roberts, son ' of Frefl Roberts of Alden, who was j killed in Africa. The next was j Richard Roberts, son of Charles Roberts of Tremont, Utah. He was killed in action on May 27 while -on duty on Brak Island in the south Pacific. Just a few days later Everett Roberts was killed i in Italy. Real tragedy has struck the. Roberts brothers, with each, man losing a son and two nephews within the past two years. Certainly each family has given his share for^ victory. • ••..i.-J JUKE BRIDE Recent transfers include Lester E. Witt from Camp San Luis Obispo, Calif., to Camp Beale, Calif.; Henry E.

Frozen Water c When water freezes it tends to freeze as pure water, pushing aside, as it were, any lime, iron, sulphur, or other substances dissolved or suspended in it. When the watfer in meat juice freezes it does the same thing, pushing aside the material that gives color, flavor, and food value to the juice. Some of the changes in composition are not reversible, that is, the normal meat juice is not reformed when the meat is thawed. The character of thawed meat and the quantity of drip from it are associated with the amount of this change in composition, resulting from freezing. ATTENTION! ALL HOME CANNERS! Before you begin your" 1944 canning:, Good Housekeeping Magazine advises you; use the b6iling water bath method for tomatoes and fruits, only. Can ali vegetables except tomatoes by the correct use of a pressure cooker to be sure of killing botulinus germs. In ^he last few years, cases of botulinus food poisoning have cropped up in widely different parts of the country. Buy, borrow, share a pressure cooker--but don't can low-acid vegetables any other way.. If you want further information, write Good Housekeeping Magazine, 959 Eighth Avenue, New York 19, N. Y.

Excessive soil is often difficult and sometimes impossible to remove completely.^. Much of it becomes ground in and the Ynany different types of spots require different types of treatments. It is one thing to remove a small food stain or paint spot from a garment and quite another-- if it can be done at all--to remove large spotted areas of such i + diverse origin as paint, engine grease, perspiration, mud, rust and kitchen stains. Raccoon Flavor To improve the flavor of a dressed raccoon and to remove some of | the gamey taste, it is recommend- ; ed that the carcass be wrapped j tightly in wax paper and stored from • four to seven days in a refrigera- ; tor, at a temperature as near to 35 degrees as possible.
