IMPORTANT POINT IN PROCESS
OF CANNING.
TO Neglect OF This Is Due the Spoil
ing Of About Half the Fruit Put
Up--The Process of Cold
Canning.

Hand in hand with the canning OF
fruits and vegetables should go the
knowledge of sterilization This
means more than washing and rinsing
of Jar. even when this is done with
more than ordinary care Soap is ex-
cellent, but alone 1t is not sufficient to
sterilize jar and its cover. Boiling
water is necessary and it is needed
for a longer period than simply rims
ing.
About half the fruit which spoils
and thus adds expense to the cost OF
housekeeping, spoils because the Jars
and covers are not properly sterilized.
To sterilize jar, immerse it with
the cover in a pan of cold water, put
the pan on the stove and boil for at
least ten minutes. If the jar is re-
moved from the water before using,
turn it upside down to keep out the
air. Rubhers should never be used
the second time. The hands and all
clothing about the jars should be per
fectly clean.
The process Of cold canning Is com
/ ing into favor rapidly and will soon
replace the old methods of canning al
together. This process leaves the
small fruits in their natural shapes
and more of their color is retained
than where the fruit is cooked.
Sugar is not at all necessary for sue
cessful canning by this method, In
fact If large quantity is used II will
draw out and change the favor of the
fruits. Excellent results have been
obtained by adding to water only
about as much sugar as is contained
III the fruit All that is necessary is
to put clean fruit in sterilized Jal
and pour water over 1t until the jar i
filled. seal and set in pan OF watei
which must be brought to the boiling
point. Clean fruit in clean jars will
not spoil. Clean" means free from
molds or ferments that fall from thu
air, and If the fruit is clean In this
sense, there will be no necessity o
using the powders" which house
wives are sometimes induced to buy
Upon analysis these powders are In
variably found to contain injurious
chemicals If not positive poisons
One of the best fruits for cold can
ming is Hawaiian pineapple. It is
good fruit on which TO try the process
Simply peel 1t and slice in a sterilize'
Jar. Pour over 1t sterilized and slight
" sWeetened water, to which ha
been added pinch Of salt. The sal

MAY PERMIT
SUNDAY BALL

Little Rock, April 26.-Cities of
Arkansas may have Sunday base
ball il the near future, if bill
which is now being drawn is favor
ably passed upon by the general
assembly. The bill is not straight
out Sunday baseball bill, but pro
vides for the submission to the vo
tiers of the counties, along with
other matters at the next general
election, the question as to whether
i not Sunday ball is to be played
in the county. As the cities of the
state all favor Sunday baseball,
there is hope that in this way games
on the Sabbath will be permitted
in number of counties in the
state. On this plan, Sunday base
ball would not be permitted any
where it would be obnoxious. The
perfect fairness of the proposition
will, it is expected, appeal to the
Legislators, and they will allow the
people to extend the local option
laws to cover baseball and kindred
sports. Sunday baseball is now
played in many towns of the state,
especially amateur games Pro
fessional baseball is barred in Lit
tie Rock on Sunday, but amateurs
play without interruption or pros

On account of the union services
at the Methodist church last night
that church was filed to overflow
ing, not even standing room being
left. The services were held at
the church for the reason that the
ground was too damp for outdoor
services. Rev. J. B. Stevenson
preached strong sermon, at the
close of which several went forward
and gave the preacher their hands
on the proposition that they would
try to become Christians. Much
interest was manifested by the
large congregation, and Rev. Ste
venson is we'll pleased with the re-
suits of the meeting SO far and says
the prospects for much being done
are good.

History of the Order.
The first lodge of Odd Fellows in
the United States was established
in 1910 1t was on April 20 at
Baltimore, where Thomas Wildey
and four others, who had been
members of the Odd Fellows lodge
in England met and organized the
first lodge ofthe order in the United
States. The European trunk OF
the order had its origin in London
about I745. There had been des-
ultory attempts made to start the
order in the United States before
the Baltimore lodge was founded,
but these did not prove successful.
Now the lodge has III the United
States total membership OF about
10000 Odd Fellowship exists
and thrives in every state and ter
ritory in the Union and in all civil
lied nations.
Numerous homes and hospitals
and other institutions are maintain
ed by the order in which more than
s., 900, 900 are invested and IN
which nearly 5000 persons are
cared for. Among these institu-
tons is the Odd Fellows Widows
aud Orphans Home at Batesville,
this state.
The secret work of the order is
founded to a considerable extent on
Holy Writ, the degree work being
taken from instances recounted IN
the Bible, the book being an i'm
portant part of the equipment of
every Odd Fellows lodge room.
The objects of Odd Fellowship
are to visit the sick, relieve the
distressed, bury the dead and edu-
cate the orphan" 1t seeks to i'm
prove and elevate the character Of
man, Undue him with proper con-
ception of his capabilities for good.
enlighten his mind, enlarge the
sphere of his affections and lead
him to a cultivation of the true
fraternal relation designed by the
great Author of his being" The
motto "Friendship, Love and
Truth" was known and used in
connection with the order in I775.
The organization for attaining
these objects has two distinct
branches, closely allied, called
lodges and encampments.
In 1851 the Rebekahs' lodge,
the ladies' branch of the order,
was organized.
The military side of the encamp-
ment branch of the order is term
ed The Degree of Patriarchs
Militant. The uni. of the military
organization is canton, which
consists of at least IS members
called "chevaliers. " The cantons
are organized into battalions, regi-
ments, brigades and divisions. The
grand sire is ex oficio head and
commander in chief of the
Patriarchs Militant.
