DIRECTOR NORTH RESIGNS.
Head Of Census Bureau Gives On His
Job.

Warrington. May 2e.-S. NJ D.
North. director Of the census, has ten
dered his resignation to President
Taft and It was accepted today. His
resignation is q direct result Of his
recent controversy with Secretary of
Commerce and Labor Nagel.
The following statement in connec-
tion with the case was given out at
the White House:
Director North rendered his resig-
nation as director of the census. II
was accepted. and the name of Mr.. E.
Dana Durand. now deputy commis-
sioner OF corporations, has been sent
into the senate to succeed him. Mr..
North's resignation was based on the
ground that. on account of conditions
existing and likely to continue. his
administration Of the census Office
would not probably be successful"
1t had been supposed up to within
the last few days that the Controversy
between Secretary Nagel and Director
North had been amicably adjusted.
The friction between the two contin-
ued. however, and at last Secretary
Nagel put the matter squarely up to
President Taft. saying that either he
or Mr.. North would have to leave the
service az existing conditions between
them were impossible.
Director North held to the belief
that the census bureau was an inde
pendent institution and that he was
responsible onlq to the president. A
congressional enactment put the CEN
sus bureau under the department of
commerce and labor. however. AMI
Secretary Nagel felt that. in spite OF
the great powers conferred by con-
gress upon the director. that official
should be subordinate to the cabinet
officer In charge of the department
1t was because Of this friction that
Director North finally was forced to
step out.

NEW CANNING PROCESS.
Department OF Agriculture Has Per.
fected a Simple and Effective Meth.


man A. F. Levers desk in his office
Is literally filled with cans of beans.
beets, squash, ETC., world without
end. This comes Of the fact that he
Is member Of the Committee on
Agriculture and is the chief champion
Of a strict enforcement of the pure
food and drugs law and Of the idea
that preserving powders and the like
are unnecessary in the canning busi-
ness. The Department Of Agriculture
has just issued bulletin giving a very
simple method by which all fruits
and vegetables may be canned in the
farm home and kept through winter
and this is to be done without the use
Of preservatives. The cans and Jars
on Mr.. Levers desk represent the ef-
forts Of the Department Of Agricul.
ture to convince him that It's method
Is not only simple but effective. He Is
thoroughly convinced. The process
for preserving Is the work of Frank
Breazeale. an Anderson boy and a
graduate Of Clemson College who has
been in the Department Of Agricul-
ture for several years and who has
made good. Breazeale is a confirmed
dispeptic--as lean and cadaverous in
appearance as the congressman whom
he Is interesting in his work. He is
a vegetarian as much so as Senator
La Toilette, who Is also greatly inter-
ested in his process. 1t Is because Of
the fact that he is a vegetarian that
he has fallen upon this plan Of pre-
serving fruits and vegetables.
The only thing in 1t Is glass jar
and an ordinary tin can or clothes
boiler. Corn. English peas, string
beans. okra, in fact all vegetables
may be kept with their original color
and flavor. The method consists in
steaming the fruit or vegetable in a
closed vessel for one hour each on
three successive days, this completely
sterilizing 1t. killing all germs and
other things. The cause Of decom-
position Is germ or bacteria and as
soon as these are destroyed, the veg
etable will keep indefinitely. The
adoption of this method not only
leaves no excuse for the use of pre-
serving powders. against which Mr..
Lever and DR.. Wiley have fought 30
hard during the recent session of con-
gress and which are undoubtedly
harmful in their effects upon infants
and invelids and are used to cover up
unsanitary and unclean methods and
cheap and rotten materials. but it en-
ables the housewife to make use of
every vegetable raised in her garden
and Of all the fruit from her orchard
and the expense is practically moth
ing. The department has issued a
bulletin. being simple In it's get-up
and these may be had by applying
to members Of Congress. 1t is farm
ers' bulletin No. $50. Mr.. Lever has
been allotted $1,000 Of these and any
one who is interested in his crusade
for pure food, may have one by writ
Ing him a postal card asking for it.
