THE BEST CUCUMBER PICKLES

The last Of August or the first OF
September is pre-eminently the time
for picking, Cucumbers, and all vege-
tables for that purpose, arc then plen.
tiful. and the tedious small fruits ar.
out Of the way. In tho making of per-
feet pickles It Is as important that the
cucumbers be fresh az that the vinegar
be pure. In selecting them, therefore,
choose only crisp. brittle ones. If
those which bend readily under pres
sure are used, the pickling process may
convert them into tough, indigestlblo
tubes. Select cucumbers as nearly
uniform in size as possible Wash
them and place in vessel with water
to cover, Add tcaspoonful OF salt
to a gallon OF water and allow them
to stand over night. The next morn
ing throw into clear water for n few
moments then pack into glass Jars,
adding To each one-eighth of n tea
spoonful Of alum, one teaspoonful Of
celery seed and one fourth of a me
dunn red pepper cut into shreds II
the vinegar has been made at home It
will b. so strong that 1t should be
diluted one-half with water. Put il
over the fire with few whole cloves
and pieces of stick cinnamon When
it hollis pour II over the cucumbers.
add two tahlcspoonfuls of olive oil to
each jar, seal tightly and put away
with the comfortable knowledge that
you have pickle which can be eaten
even by those whom they have been
forbidden. The oil cuts the acid OF
the vinegar that they may be taken
into delicate stomach without in
iury.-The iiousekeeper for August.

All operators employed in the Overland
division of the local office followed this
request and Assistant Night chief Harry
Price ordered all who refused to work to
leave the office He then went into
other divisions and requested the men 20
60 into the Overland di~ision. In every
case he was met with refusal until
over seventy men had been sent home.
The grievance committee of the union
notified Nj Price that unless every man
was rcinstated by midnight every union
man in the main Office would be called
out. This demand was refused and
promptly at midnight whistle was
blown and every operator employed in
the main office with the exception ~ six
