1t ought not be a difficult task to

who ill enforce the laws of the
municipality without fear or favor,
as we'll against unlicensed whisky
de alers as unlicensed peddlers or
other vioiators of law. No other
sort of Temperance" ticket has a
ghost of show of election.-Fdir-

And no other sort ought to be
elected. Let men be put in office
who will tear to shreds this miser-
able garment of sacredness that is

nal traffic under the sun is protect

Isn't it folly and madness for

at every street corner and then tell
their boys not to 60 into them?

All they ask is that the people may
settle it.

Auditor Marye Confesses 100000
More!

In letter to the editor of the Staunton
Tiaad5cator, Auditor Marye makes the fol-
lowing confession and attempt at avoid
ance:
By the act of April %, 1882 to be found on page
473 of acts of 1SSl'S2, it directed that when
ever the Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany should pay to the Board of Public Works
the sum of S5OO.Oc0 the sum of 100000 should be
placed to the credit of the public free school
fund to be expended by the State Board of Edu-
cation for purposes of public education at the
rate of 100000 per annum. The payment of
100000 was made by the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company, to the Board of Public
Works on January 25, 1885, and since that date
100000 of the 100000 set aside for that purpose
have been expended for public education. You
a0iu observe that the remaining 500 900 of this fd
cannot be expended until after January 25 1886.
And why cannot this sum be expended !?
Because of Auditor Maryes adcerse con-
structaon and acrong construction of the act
1t confesses to having kept $4,000 of this
money from the schools for 1885, although
100000 a year has heretofore been paid to
the schools for each of the years Of 1882,
1888 and 1884. But he declines to pay $780,
600 per AMMAN for the gear 1885. Why !?
To make a shoao during this campaign of
money afs the Treasury, AT THE EXPENSE
OF THE SCHOOLS.-Whlu,

Cherry Pectoral.

No other complaints are SO insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trif1ing or unconscious ex-
posture, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be-
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
In 1857 took severe cold, which affected
my lungs. had terrible cough and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. tried AYERS CHERRY Pee
ToRAL, which relieved my lungs, induced
steep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the PEcToRAL a perma-
nent cure was effected. / am now 62 years
Old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
CHERRY PICTORIAL saved me.

Group. A Mothers Tribute.
while in the country last winter nv little
boy, three years old, was taken i'll with Group;
1t seemed as if he would die from strangu-
iatlon. One OF the family suggested the use
OF AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the CHERRY PICTORIAL had
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely yours,

Points on Canning Fruits.


The secret Of successful canning Of
fruits and vegetables is an open one. Ger
tain conditions being insured, failure is
out Of the question. The fruits land
yegeiables) must be just ripe, freshly
gathered and perfect of their kind. All
germs in the cans, received by contact
with the air. or otherwise, must be de-
stroyed by heat in the form of boiling
water, and all germs of microscopic
animal or vegetable life in the fruits
germs Tof fungus growth or of fermenta-
tion--must be destroyed
Then the air must be effectually exclud-
ed from the cans, Sc that germs will be
kept out. The surest way Of securing all
these conditions is to put the fruits into
the cans, and, after partially sealing them,
put the cans labo cold water, raise this to
boiling point. and keep it there till the
contents are sufficiently cooked, then lie
move from the water and seal tightly, and
turn the cans on end. If they leak, air
CAN enter to carry the seeds of fermenta-
ton into the cans.
But this is slow work where one carries
on the business il the family On a large
scale. and with suitable precautions one
can can two, three or a dozen cans at once
as safely as one, and with as good results.
Have kettle that viii hold at least two
cans, and a larger kettle is preferable, and
while the first is cooking in that, enough
can be prepared to replenish it each time
it is emptied.
The shorter the time consumed in get
ting the fruit from the tree, or the yege-
tables from the garden into the cans, the
better. AL fruit that has to be peeled
dafkens by exposure to the air, and should
be placed, as soon as the skin is removed,
in cold water If more than two quarts at
time are cooked, it is difficult to do the
cooking evenly. That at the bottom of
the kettle will be done sooner than that at
the top, and if one stirs the fruit while
cooking, its shape is likely to be injured.
For very nice canning it is better to put
the fruit into the cans as soon as peeled,
cover with liquid, syrup or water, put on
the rubbers, tops and rings, and cook till
done, in water raised slowly to the boiling
point. Then seal tightly.
For ordi nary canning, prepare the fruit
two cans at a time. cook it till done, then
ladle it into cans, let them stand for time
with their covers on till they ''settle
down, y fill again with boiling hot fruit or
water, and seal tightly. In this case, as
in the former, cans, covers and rubbers
should be immersed in boiling water be-
fore the cans are filled.
Boiling hot fruit Or water may be poured
into cans without breaking them, if they
are first placed on very wet towel, and a
silver spoon is put In them.
