Tuesday, February 28, 1922 THE ORANG from th THERE are very few women that do not know the great convenience of canned goods—that comfortable feeling which comes from knowing that you have directly at hand practically every sort and kind of foods literally from soup to nuts; foods that are cooked and ready to serve, requiring at most only a few moments preparation. have directly at hand practically every sort and kind of foods literally from soup to nuts; foods that are cooked and ready to serve, requiring at most only a few moments preparation. National Canned Foods Week, which is being observed throughout the country March 1st to 8th, under the auspices of canners, food brokers, jobbers, retailers and allied organizations, may seem somewhat like "painting the lily". With most of us, every week is canned foods week. But we have come to take canned foods so much for granted it is undoubtedly well for us to be reminded of just what the invention of canning really means to us. 'Tho less spectacular, the science of canning was a discovery only equalled in importance by such inventions as the telephone, the wireless and the aeroplane. When we stop to realize that food, shelter and clothing are man's most vital needs, and what a large proportion of our food is preserved for us and brought to us today in canned form, we better understand the full significance of this important discovery. Pickling or drying were the only methods of preserving foods that were known up until about a century ago. In 1795 the necessities of war prompted the French Government to offer a reward of 12,000 francs for a better method of food preservation. The prize was awarded to Nicholas Appert and his method stands today as the real basis of our present process of canning—namely, hermetic sealing and sterilization by heat.

This is conservation in the broadest and most economic sense of the word. But the process of canning not only benefits the world at large; it has very definite advantages for each of us as individuals,—for that much talked of Mr. Average-Man-in-the-Street and his House-wife-in-the-Kitchen. “Canning” eliminates the seasons. In effect, it “makes summer last all the year round”, and in midwinter brings us the crops of mid-summer. And canning also eliminates space or sectionalism,—for those of us who live in the interior may still enjoy oysters, crabs, lobsters and other sea foods whenever we wish; and those of us who live in the Eastern states may nevertheless have access to the delicious fruit crops of California and Hawaii. And so on the world over. The pioneer in Alaska, the miner in the mountains of South America, the explorer in the Antarctic,—men and women everywhere on the fringes of civilization all have at hand—thanks to the can—the same wholesome appetizing foods that are served to the most exacting guest in an exclusive New York hotel. Because the science of canning has so done away with time and space—with respect to food—the can has come to be known as a modern genie of the home.

For canned foods are selected at just the right point of ripeness or other condition that makes them best for eating. And then, being cooked or prepared within the can, they retain all the nutritive value and delicious flavor of the fresh product. Indeed, there are conditions surrounding the marketing of many fresh foods that necessarily make them inferior to the canned. The wholesomeness of canned foods—scientifically prepared under conditions of the most scrupulous sanitation—has long been recognized. There is perhaps no more emphatic evidence of this than the views of military and medical authorities who point out that in event of an epidemic, requiring that a community have pure and wholesome food, no more safe and certain means of protection could be adopted than to eliminate the use of all but canned foods. Even after years of usage there are still many of us who do not fully appreciate the infinite possibilities of canned foods.
