lronton, Mo.-Of all the events of
the Civil war that are being recalled
in the half-century anniversary revi-
val of interest, few are of more gen.
eral interest than the story of Gen.
U. 5. Grants receiving his commission
as Brigadier-General on Missouri soil.
A movement has been started to pur-
chase the site at Ironton of the deliv-
cry of this commission for a national
park.
The campaign which Gen. Grant
planned at the cabin which was his
first headquarters as general brought
him advancement from Brigadier Gen
eral to Major General and was the
real beginning of his career as vic
torious commander.

Grant had left the army because he
could not support his family on his

ILL.,, where he became a clerk in his
fathers leather store.

Fruits and vegetables can be put

much cheaper than they can be pur-
chased In the form of commercial
canned goods, and the flavor. texture.
and general quality of the homemade
product can be made superior to the
product of the average factory.
All forms of bacteria are killed by
complete sterilization. This is moth
ing more than enclosing the product
to be sterlized In jars or cans that
can be sealed alright, and submit
ting them to heat of sufficient degree,
for a time long enough to destroy
the bacteria that cause the raw ma
terial to spoil.
Sterilization is readily accomplished
by the use of boiling water. and there
are three different ways In which this
can be done. While the parent bac-
terra can be killed at a temperature
of boiling water, their spores retain
their vitality for long time even at
that temperature.
Smaller factories, and the different
homecoming outfits usually make
use of the "open-kettle" process. Here
the cans are submerged in boiling
water and kept at that temperature
for a time sufficient to destroy bac.
terra and spores.
The third process, known as frac-
tional sterilization. is that Of keeping

specified time upon each of two or
three consecutive days.
The process of boiling upon con.
secutive days is the safest method
and Is much to be preferred In home
canning. The first days boiling kills
practically all the bacteria, but does
not kill all of the spores.
