The only way usurer's debt may be

operation of the Camorra. Most of these
Neapolitans are so poor that judg-

scarcely OF any value. The Camorra

to cure a thin, wasted, undersized,
hollow eyed consumptive, at absolute
rest, ranges from $500 to 4,3o0
calorics, and we used to run higher
than that, but it was found unneces-
sary. You would expect them to
nearly die of biliousness, and loathe
the very sight of food; but instead
of that they lose dyspeptic and indi-
gestion symptoms of months and
even years standing, and acquire such
an appetite as they never had in their
lives before. If plenty of good food,
regardless of expense. will cure a con-
sumptive it really ought not to be so
very dangerous for well person, par
ticularly for child. 1t is one of the
most bitter ironies of our civiliza-
ton that we wait until large classes
of our population have got consump-
ton before we give them really
enough to eat. Many children in all

was at once relieved. regard Her

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW


Tbare are several methods Of cannings
"a tl,a secret Of success in each is abso-
Int M sterilization. Bearing this in mind,
there need be no fear Of failure il the
ainpIe rules here given are carefully OBJ
seryed. The three best and easiest meth
ods of canning are cooking the fruits IN
the lars in an oven; cooking the fruits in
iars ii boiling water; and ateWinE the
fruit before Il is put in the jars
lis necessary that the jars be in per-
feet condition and that they have solid
glass or solid metal tops. When they
have glass or porcelain lining there is LETT
a space between the lining and the upper
lid where bacteria and9easts may be con-
cealed and defy efforts to dislodge them.
Besides this space often admits air into
the jar, which always means contamlna-
tion. Only new fresh rubber rings should
be used, for if the rubber is not soft and
elastic the sealing cannot be perfect. a
housewife may run the risk of spelling
fifteen dollars worth of fruit in saving
fifty cents worth Of rubbers.
After seeing that the jars. covers and
rings are in perfect condition, the next
thing is to wash and sterilize them. For
this secure two pans and partially ill
both with cold water. Into one place
some of the jars on their sides, and in
the other place some covers. Place the
pans on the stove and allow the water to
heat and boil for fifteen minutes. On
the stove have a shallow milk pan con.
tanning about two inches OF boiling water.
Sterilize the spoons, cups and funnel, il
you use one, by immersing for a few
minutes in boiling water.
When you are ready with the prepared
fruit, lift Jar from the water by clipping
q broad skinner under it, and then let
it drain free of water. Set the jar in the
shallow milk pan and e with the boiling
fruit until it overfows. That the fruit
and juice may be packed solidly, slip q
silVer.plated knife or the handle of a
spoon around the inside of the jar. Now
wipe the rim Of the jar, dip the rubber
ring in boiling water, and place it smoothly
over the mouth of the jar; put the cover
on and fasten tightly. Place the Jar on

screw covers are used, they most be
tightened again after the glass has cooled

fruit Is cold, wipe Il with wet cloth, and
place the jars on shelves in a cool, dark
closet.
The quantity Of sugar may be regulated
to suit the taste, or it is not really neces-
sary to use any sugar The fruit designed
TO be served as sauce, however, should
have the sugar cooked with il. Little or
no water is required for juicy fruits, such
as cherries and berries. excepting when
they are cooked 10 thick syrup.

The best way to remove finger marks
from piano is to wash il with clear
warm water, using fine sponge or piece
Of chamois; dry Immediately with another
chamois. Do mot use greasy furniture
polishes on your piano; the best polish
for either ebony or mahogany is lamp
black applied with an old silk handker-
chief.
Fruit jar covers may be removed from
the jar by filling small pan half full Of
hot water, inyerting the jar in it, and
letting it stand few minutes. The cover
can then be easily removed and is as good
as new. By the old method of inserting
a knife under the rubber, the cover is
often bent and will cause the loss of fruit

The Pomona Grange is union of

the business end of the Grange.

men who did their days work earnest
ly and faithfully and passed on. An
important factor in the social and
industrial life of the farmer folk of
the state has been this organization
all along the years. Its efforts In the
financial betterment of the agricult-
ural class have not always met fru1-
ton. However, they have been
earnest and sincere.
They have caused farmers to think
for themselves, read for themselves,
send their sons and daughters to the
State Agricultural college, plan and
make agricultural exhibits, patronize
farmers Institutes, take stand for
good roads, recognize woman's part
in agricultural development and, in
multitude of other ways, have left the
impress of organized power upon the
intelligence and growth of genera
ton. -
The Committee on Good Roads sub
mitted a report indorsing the Johnson
good roads bill as revised by the joint
committee of the last Legislature.
When the report of the committee on
good of the order was read the mat
ter of publishing the Pacific Grange
Bulletin jointly by the State Oranges
of Oregon and Washington provoked
considerable discussion. Many were
dissatisfied with the present arrange
ment. but it was decided to continue
the publication jointly for another
year.
The Oklahoma bank guarantee bill
was the subject of a warm debate,
and the executive committee was au-
thorized to submit the bill to the inl-
tiative at the next general election,
with some notifications applicable TO
such law in the state of Oregon.
Three important committees were
appointed to make reports at the next
session on the following matters:

This contest is open to all and sug-
gestions may be submitted on any one
or all the points in question. A seal

spicuous place in the Blue Front Mar
ket, $50 louisiana avenue northwest,
where suggestions may be deposited
while marketing. 1t viii be ready for
the reception of suggestions tomor-
row morning. The closing date will
be announced later.
The market states the reason for
changing a name which it has spent a
great deal of money TO advertise, is
due TO the fact that many unscrupu-
lous dealers have been posing as The
Blue Front Market. It is therefore
the intention to decide on a new
name that cannot be initiated by
merely applying a coat of paint to
the fronts of other markets or their
fixtures.
This market is now undergoing ex-
tensive alterations in order to meet
the demands of an ever increasing
trade. and It is the owners intention
to announce their new name upon TIE
completion of the reconstructed mar
ket building.

taking steps especially to tighten the
vessels as much as possible. Every e.
tons of weight that can be taken off
the 17.0O0-ton vessels raises them an
inch in the water, and it is found that
a good many times So tons can be taken
off them.
In tightening the vessels so as to
raise them a foot to two feet higher
out of the water. it is necessary TO
maintain the equilibrium with great
care, that the IIbinty to turning turtle
in heavy weather may not be increased.
This is being accomplished through the
great reduction in the weight of the
upper works. The substitution of the
skeleton masts, for instance, makes II
possible safely to raise the vessel sew

changes in interior mechanism will lie

now admitted that the world-cruise
