Mrs. Hemenway's Canning Kitchen 



273 Clarendon Street [rear] 

 Boston 



M 



With the approval of the Woman's Committee on Food 

 Conservation of the Massachusetts Committee of Public Safety, 

 Mrs. Hemenway's Canning Kitchen opened June 15 for the purpose 

 of conserving the surplus produce of private gardens. 



Two canning experts will be in charge of the work throughout 

 the summer, and they will be aided by volunteer workers furnished 

 by the five organizations cooperating with Mrs. Hemenway in the 

 enterprise. 



The public is asked to contribute the surplus stock from their 

 gardens — fruit and vegetables. This may be sent to the Kitchen, 

 273 Clarendon Street (rear). Here it will be canned or dried, and 

 later will be placed on public sale, due notice of which will be given. 

 The net proceeds of the sales will revert to Relief Work. 

 The organizations cooperating are : 



Massachusetts Anti-Suffrage Association 

 Massachusetts Branch of the Woman's Peace Party 

 Massachusetts Woman's Suffrage Association 

 Special Aid Society for American Preparedness 

 The Women's Municipal League of Boston 

 One representative from each organization constitutes the Exec- 

 utive Committee, of which Mrs. Hemenway is the Chairman. 



The purpose of this enterprise is the CONSERVATION OF 

 FOOD to add to next winter's supply. Help us to save garden 

 surplus that might otherwise be wasted. Our success depends upon 

 you. We need all the produce you can send us. Now is the time to 

 save for next winter's needs. 



Further information will gladly be furnished upon application to 

 any members of the Committee.
