TER UPON WINTER SCHEDULE

the school, teachers and pupils re.
unite for the Fall and Winter cam
paign. With the reunion of forces,
a change takes place in the hour for

templates another change in the con-
duct of the school. Beginning with

time will be graded. There will be
a Beginners Department; a Prim-
ary Department; a Junior Depart
ment and the Main School. The be-
ginners will occupy one of the class
rooms; the primary department will
occupy what has been known as the
Infant Room; the Juniors will oc-
cupy the room opposite, across the
hall, and the big school the lecture
room. The regarding of the school
promises to make the work better
and easier and to facilitate matters
all the way around.

REED BIRDS REPORTED SCARCE

Gunners Shooting Into Flights Caused
Them to Leave Suddenly
More reed birds were noticed on
the meadows in New Castle County
than for several years past, but
thsy disappeared almost as mysteri-
ously as they came. Those who have
given some thought and study to the
matter claim that shooting into the
flights as they pass over at night
frightens them away. This method
of shooting has come into practice
only during the past five years by
the so-called city sportsmen and it
is noticeable that the birds stay
here but very short time.

CANNED PEACHES
STEWED in LYE
LATEST AGITATION IN PURE
FOOD WAR LEAVES RENzoATEl
OF SODA TO FIGHT ANoTHERl
ARUsE-LYE. USED TO LOOSEN
THE SKINS. c@ os

The pure food agitation which has
been principally over the question of
benzoate Of soda has now taken a new
turn and renewed interest will doubt
less be aroused over this question:
1t is said that in most of the can
neries of the country peaches are
stewed i'm red-hot caustic soda to- eat
away the skins and thereby save the
cost Of knife peeling, the difference
in cost amounting to a cent and a half
to two cents per can.
In the process of this I've stewing.
almost all the flavor of the peach dis
appears and doubtless little calistic
soda is left on each piece OF fruit as
memento Of it's trip through the can
merry.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin of an unripe peach,
must be anything but soothing to the
inner man or child. The full signifi-
canoe of this is best understood In
connection with the fact that caustic
soda is used in making many kinds
OF soap in fact 1t is the dirt eating
part of soap.
It is said that the great majority of
of the canneries use the I've process in
place of the knife peeling method. At
tempts have been made for some time
to get the department OF agriculture TO
make ruling on this question which
would compel the Gamers who use this
method to say so on the labels Of their
goods. 1t looks now as If the question
will be passed up to congress for a
specific law covering this phase of the
pure food agitation
The use Of caustic soda is Impossible
with ripe fruit, however, because it
discolors a ripe peach SO that 1t win
not pass muster with the users of high
grade canned fruits. In consequence
this process is possible only with un-
ripe fruit, and green fruit is purposely
gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence of any marks
on the cans TO indicate the use of
caustic soda, the only way the cnsto-
mer can tell If he has purchased a I've
process can of fruit Is by taste. Open
q can OF peaches, wash away the
syrup from a piece of the fruit. Then
taste 1t. 1t 1t is void of flavor, woody
and PUPPY, and has a soapy appearance
1t is undoubtedly the I've peeled variety.

ed up, however. together with the
change which is being made in the
