FOR NATIONAL FORMULARY,
Baltimorean Principal Speaker at
Pharmaceutical Meeting.

National formulary was discussed last
night at a meeting of the city of Wash
ington branch of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association in the hall of the
National College of Pharmacy, No. sos !
street northwest. DR.. Harvey Wiley,
chief chemist of the Department of Agri:
culture, presided. and made brief ad-
dress on the subject.
H. P. Hynson of Baltimore, a member
of the committee on national formulary,
was the principal speaker of the evening.
He spoke along the lines of perfecting the
national formulary.
Others who spoke and their subjects
were: Lewis Flemer Some Suggestions
for Revising National Formulary'; H. f..
kalusowsk, Review of the Report of
the Revision Committee on National
Fornulary''; Augustus c. Taylor, Com
ments on the Report of the Committee on
National Formulary."
BY reason of the divergent opinions, as
voiced at a recent meeting of the Amer
lean Pharmaceutical Association regard
ing the national formulary, the discussion
last evening was timely and the many
pharmacists took considerable interest in
the matter.

Wedding Etiquette.

If bride is to be married in a trav-
eling dress the maid of honor should
wear light thin silk or other dressy
frock. Both may carry bouquets and
wear hats. The brides mother will find

trope for the color. The brother who
gives his sister away should have a
frock coat, double breasted waistcoat.

The bridegroom and best man wear
the same style clothes.
The brides parents furnish all tho
carriages except those for the BRIDE

TASTY RECIPES.
To Can Wild or Meadow Mushrooms

The best way of preserving wild mush-
rooms is this, furnished in bulletin of
the oregon station by L. +. Pernot, who
states that mushrooms may be canned
as easily as fruit, and much easier than
some vegetables:
The buttons, ranging in size from the
smallest to those with the cup breaking
from the stem, are the most desirable, for
canning as they remain firm and white
after being heated. When sufficient but
tons are gathered they are cleaned by
peeling or by wiping with cloth, remov-
ing any soiled spots or earth which may
have adhered to them: the stems are cut
off, leaving from one-half to one inch re-
manning attached to the cap. They may
then be placed in granite IRON kettle
and heated without water until shrinkage
ceases, after which they are placed in
cans that have previously been cleaned
and scalded, and the liquor poured over
them to completely fill the can.
If glass cans are used, after filling they
are placed in any kind of vessel provided
with cover and containing n small
amount of hot water. sheet of asbestos
or a thin layer of excelsior is placed in
the boiler to prevent the glass coming in
contact with the bottom. The caps are
placed loosely the cans, and with
steamer cover in place allow the water to
simmer for half an hour. Upon removing
the cover from the steamer, Immediately
screw the can covers tightly, then place
the cans to cool, upside down. in order to
detect any leak. If all are sealed, allow
them to stand until the next day at the
same time, when they should be again
heated iii the same manner, except that
the time must be prolonged to one hour,
because the contents of the cans are cold
Repeat this operation again the third day
which will complete the sterilization. and
the mushrooms will be found to be as
nearly like the fresh article as 1t is posi-
BILE to have them. They keep well and do
not deteriorate in consistency or flavor
The cans must be kept sealed throughout
the operations.
II desired, the mushrooms may be
stewed in milk and then canned in the
manner described. When the can is
opened they require heating only before
serving.
When tin cans are used they are ham
died in the same way the glass ones,
with the exception of soldering the lid as
soon as the can is filled. leaving the vent
open until after heating the first time
when it is Immediately closed with an
other drop of solder while can is hot thus
form ming partial vacuum that takes I'D
the expansion caused by subsequent heat
ings.
This method of sterilizing kills the vege-
tative germ cell at the first heating. and
the intermission between heatings induces
the spores to terminate into cells, thus
enabling much lower temperature to be

At this season of the year housekeep-
ers are interested in bed furnishings, such
as blankets and warm coverings that are
not used during the summer months, and
are now taken from closets and chests
for daily use. For often these coverlets
are torn and must be mended, or they are
worn too thin to be practical and SO new
supplies must be purchased. and, natural
~, new designs attract more attention
than old styles.
OF the latest models the English satin
finished spreads, lighter in weight than
marseilles, cut out at the corners to fit
the bedsteads and finished around the
edges with button-hole scallops. are in
expensive and effective.
This is not only an Improvement over
the fringe spread. by reason of its better
laundering qualities, but is d much daln-
tier and prettier trimming.
Another pretty spread that is popular is
called the printed dimity- 1t reminds one
of a pique, being heavily corded, and is
printed. with a bunch of roses in the
center and similar sprays in the four cor
ners on a white background.
