A NECESSITY 



In Every Garden Home 



"Just as necessary as a washing machine or any other 

 modern convenience," says Mrs. John Totterdale, of Staf- 

 ford, New York, whose picture is shown above, busy with 

 her "National" outfit. She is just one of a vast army of 

 patriotic women who conserve the nation's food supply 

 the "National" way.

Save the Surplus of Your Garden 



Can by the Cold Pack Method— and a "National." Says an expert in 

 June Garden Magazine: — "The one tested and found-most-perfect way 

 of canning is called the 'One-Period Cold-Pack Method' and 'Steam 

 pressure outfits' do the canning very quickly because it is done in steam 

 under pressure of from 5 to 30 pounds." This is the "National" way.
