All vegetables and fruits may
easily be put up at home with
complete sterilization. These
fruits are full of life called germs,
which must be excluded from the
jars when canning.
We should start with perfect
ly clean kitchen; floor wiped,
busting done with damp cloth.
Next have the fruit and vegeta-
bles as freshly gathered as pos
sible and not over ripe. Do not
buy In large quantities. Watch
your market and buy in small
quantities each day.
Buy the best and simplest Jars.
Glass is the most satisfactory. IL
you have an abundance Of old jars
and the tops are corroded or bent,
glass tops may be purchased for
a few cents. New rubbers should
be used each year. 1t is true
economy.
Do not fill your jars full of
fruit and then turn them upside
down to find out whether you
have<a perfect jar or not. Get
out the jars, wash thoroughly,
fill with water. put on rubber
and covers, screw on tight and
turn upside down over night. II
any jars leak, discard them, or
remedy the trouble.
A steam cooker is essential.
The finest flavors are retained in
fruits and vegetables canned by
the steam process, and it simpli-
flies the labor. Only one burner
need be used and more than a
dozen cans of fruit may be on at
one time.
Sterilize all jars, covers. ETC..
in the steamer. Take out and
fill with fruit, one at a time, and
set back in the cooker, with the
covers set loosely on top. Steam
the required time, ad d more fruit
If very much settled, cover to
Overlooking with a boiling strip
or water and seal at once.
A separate recipe Is not neces-
sary for every different fruit or
vegetable canned or preserved.
One recipe will answer for all
small fruits, another for large
fruits, another for all vegetables

Anti-Suffragisms.


Perhaps the Supreme Be-
ing made a ridiculous blum
der in creating sex, but 1t is
now too late to remedy 1t.
Woman suffrage is so adj
vantageous to men, in reliev-
ing them of responsibilities
and endowing them with
property at the expense OF
their wives, that it is a won
der all men are not In favor
of it.
If voting be a natural
right, not only men and
women, but children may
vote, for a natural right is
acquired at birth and lasts
till death.
The supreme court of the
United States has decided
that voting is not a moral
right, but a privilege.
Governments exist by
consent of a majority of the
governed. There is small
but very dangerous minority
In the jails who have never
given their consent.

property is taxed, not the individ-

the property of minors be exempt.
The idea that taxation carries
with it a vote is peculiarly ludi-
crous when employed by suffra-

If no one should be taxed who
has not a vote, then ten million

Senator Smith at Ocean City


The intense heat in Baltimore last
Saturday morning drove Senator Smith
to the Seashore. He came down to
Ocean City with Mayor Lee Carey on
the Saturday evening train and remain
ed with him at the Atlantic Hotel sew
eral days.
It is needless to say the Senator held
conferences with many Of his Eastern
Shore friends and lieutenants while he
was at Ocean City. They discussed the
availability of various gentlemen for
gubernatorial honors, the outlook for
party success, and hot weather. Sena-
tor Smith did not hesitate to declare
again and again that he wanted to see
Hon. Buchanan Schley nominated and
elected Governor of Maryland. He is
sincere in his advocacy of Mr.. Schley,
who has always been with the Senator
in his fights. He could always depend
upon the support of Schley and he is
not man to forget favors. But that
is not the sole reason for his champion
ing the candidacy of Schley. He says
that Schley is one of the ablest men in
the State, is worthy of any honor that
may be conferred upon him and would
make one of the best governors the
State ever had.
Judges Dennis, who is at the Atlantic
Hotel for the summer. was specially
entertaining. He is very fond of John
Walter Smith. and does not hesitate to
declare him one of the most admirable.
polished gentlemen this State ever pro-
duced.
Judge Dennis is a splendid raconteur
and his fund of information regarding
public men of Maryland is probably
greater than that Of any other man in
the State.
Among those who called on Senator
Smith were Senator Jesse d. Price,
and number of his Wicomico and Wor-
cester friends and admirers.

State Road to SelbyVilIe.

Governor Pennewill announced Tues
day afternoon that if General 7. Cole
man du Pont shall decide to build two
spurs in Sussex county to the boulevard
and present them to the State he will
call an extra session Of the Legislature.
This will be necessary in order to amend
further the general Incorporation law so
that second boulevard can be built.
Under the present law the donor can
build but one road through Sussex coun-
ty.
As the residents in both the eastern
and western parts Of the county want
the road, General du Pont has decided
to construct the spurs.
This change will increase the cost from
81, 900. 900 to So, 900, 900.
II is believed that the special session
will be held next month or early in Sep
TENDER.
