CANNING FRUIT.

There are three fruits that preserve
their flavor we'll when canned. They
are peaches, blackberries and toma-
toes. 1t is very difficult to preserve
green corn and okra in cans. But
every family should put up an album
dance of tomatoes and blackberries.
Sugar need not sc used in the pro-
cess. Glass jars are considered best,
but clean tin cans, with the waxed
cord for sealing. will keep well, and
they cost less than the glass jars.
Canned blackberries make fine pies
and rolls. and are enjoyed by nine
tenths of the people. We have seen
okra preserved for making soup by
cutting it crosswise in thin sections
and drying in the shade. 1t gives
soup a fine flavor. Another way to
preserve it is to put It in salt and
preserve it in brine. 1t has to be
soaked before using. We cannot
vouch for that plan, as we never
tried it.-Progressive Farmer.

GET ENouGH sLEEP

flow often does one hear women
remark that they cannot sleep. Any
person who cannot sleep is ill, and a
person who is always sleepy is not
well. A healthy person sleeps only
during the time allotted for rest, and
the sleep will DO at an average OF
the same duration. Just how long one
Is to sleep quite depends upon the
person. Children as they are growing
need more sleep than older people.
For a grown-up person sleep
from seven to eight hours duration
should be quite sufficient. But how
does one obtain healthy sleep? One
Of the foremost necessary conditions
is the thorough ventilation OF the
sleep apartments. Without the
proper amount of fresh air healthy
sleep is not possible. Late suppers
also are a menace. If the stomach
has to attend to its duties of diges-
ton while one sleeps it cannot rest.
And with the stomach there are other
organs affected. Also indigestible
things should not be taken at a late

which should not be overlooked; that
Is, to have some rest before going
to bed. The right time for sleep is
before the hours of midnight, because
the sleep before that time is most
beneficial, and counts double. Nine
O'Clock or little later is the time for
going to bed, and if possible do not
go to bed later than 10.
Society women, of course, cannot
follow this rule, but they manage to
make up for lost sleep in the daytime.
This is not so beneficial as it might
be, but nevertheless with great care
woman is able to keep her youth for
many years. There Is nothing so good
as the cold bath in the morning and
no other treatment will take its place.
The cold plunge and massage is per-
haps the greatest remedy for all ills,
excepting, of course, when the doctor
prohibits All of the care taken OF
the body without the assistance of
sleep is quite useless, and women who
wish to retain their beauty must have
enough sleep.-Newark Advertiser.

PROSPECTS FOR PEACE

Portsmouth. N. H., Aug. 14.-There
is rift in the clouds. and the pros
poets of successful issue Of the
washington Conference" have bright.
ened somewhat, as q result Of tho de.
velopments Of the past two days. The
discussion Of the terms submitted by
Japan has actually begun, but this has
been accomplished by postponing the
consideration Of two main issues, in.
demnity and the cession of Sakhalin.
So far as ascertainsble the Japs were
responsible for the tactics by which
this hopeful stage was entered upon.
Az the mantle Of secrecy has been
thrown around the proceedings by mu-
tual pledges not to reveal what happens
within the council chamber. there are
missing links in the chain of evidence,
and It 10 impossible to Judge whether
this signifies backdown on either side
on the main points.
On the face Of things both sides are
as uncompromlsing as ever upon the
two Issues, the struggle over them be-
ing merely postponed. Some sort Of
private understanding arrived at BY
Baron Komura and NJ. Witte during
the recess at the navy yard il limited
at, but there 10 not the slightest con.
firmation obtainable. Nevertheless,
the Japanese who are attached to the
Japanese mission plainly manifest ella
ton, and some Of them privately assert
that NJ. Witte would never have con.
scented to tho discussion of the terms
had he not been prepared to yield on
the question of Sax hahn.

importance Of Ventilation.

The time Of the year is approaching
when farm women ought to be care
full about ventilating the living rooms
Poorly ventilated rooms cause dull
headaches, colds, pneumonia and
grip. One cold will follow another
and the victim doses and doctors and
Goodies herself, dresses heavier and
heavier, closes the windows Of the
house tighter and tighter, yet tho cold
hangs on and grows.
When cool days come windows &C
down in the home, for it is chilly, and
women are denied that which would
help to keep them warm, that which
makes good circulation, strong lungs
and a vigorous digestion. Where In
summer two windows In the bedroom
are kept wide open, in the fall women
try to get along with niggardly two
inches, and when the winter comes
they do without that much and open
the door into the hall.
Drafts can be avoided and protcc
ton can be taken from the effect Of
a sudden chill. In many homes there
is a constant and evident odor Of din
ners past pervading the atmosphere
The scents and essences OF vegetables
Of roast and fries cling to the furni
ture, and fill the carpet just because
the rooms are not aired enough. Ten
minutes airing Of a house three times
a day, after each meal, would be suffl
cient to exercise the ghosts Of de
parted dinners. No odor should be
suffered to permeate the house. Ev'
cry woman ought to be responsive tc
good influence, progressive instead Oh
retrogressive in views, and life will
be much sweeter and better.-Farm

Winter a Color Season.

The winter has proved unqucstion'
ably a color season. Indeed, any
fashionable congregation of women
this winter may well be lillcned TO a
suMSow. the colors are SO varied and
20 delightfully."- soft. The evening col
ors are very faint of tints, while day
time claims, and rightly, the more
decided shades. Only a brief season
sgone was 1t not that we .audod the
alI-white costume? Now We are all
zoo willing converts to this new FASH
Ion for color. Not that white is os'
TRACKED; far from it; but it is now IN
eariably seen offset by some color
usually introduced as a trimming
The black hat is very often seen with
the white costume, and velvet tri
comes and toques and picture hats in
the lavender and violet shades are
tremendously effective with the white
frock that has the same color intro
duced in its trimming.
