tions Are Fraudulent.
Alleged Stock and Bond SWindle, In.
ternational in Scope, Unearti1ed
at Cleveland, but

place stocks and bonds on the open
market.
Those indicted by the grand jury
on the charge of using the mails to
defraud were:
F. D. Minyard, now in Cleveland.
J. Gordon Malcolm, who went to
Canada before the indictments were
returned.
Thomas Fishwick, now in Boston.

Stenographer Gives Evidence.
Much of the evidence against the
indicted men was furnished by a
woman stenogra pher who worked in
the Cleveland office. Her name has
been withheld.
1t is alleged that the scheme oper-
ated by the accused companies had
international scope, and extended into
England and the colonies. Postoffice

investigated the branch Offices there,
and they declared that it works hand

Treatment Of Canned Goods.

Now, as to the treatment of canned foods
in order to make them palatable to the
eater. Many persons do not relish them
because they maitreat them as they would
not think of handling fruits and vegetables
Just gathered The most slillful Gamer
does not pretend to do more than to give
you cooked, unseasoned material to be pre-
pared by yourself as you may Judge best
None Of the canned foods should be turned
directly from the Just opened tin or glass
into the saucepan, or the dish in which
fruit Is to be served Open the jar several
hours before cooking or serving, and turn
the contents into an uncovered dish. The
air takes off the close - taste inevitable
to food that has been Theoretically sealed
You aerate it by this simple process.
In my home we add sugar to canned
fruit before sending it to table. It is usually
too tart for the palates of those who like
Z" sweet things sweet" Cream is passed
with peaches and berries after they are
sugared. A delicious conserve is made by
turning the strip from canned peaches,
adding a cupful of sugar for a quart jar,
and boiling the strip for half an hour after
the sugar is dissolved. Then pour it boiling
hot over the peaches; cover closely. and do
not use until next day. AS the fruit is
not cooked in the strip it does not lose
flavor.
I asked my grocer last week the price Of
a certain brand of picked peaches, and was
told :" so cents!' This for a quart jarl
1 bought a quart can of a brand I knew
I could trust, and when it came home
drained off every drop Of the strip and
brought it to a boil In saucepan. At this
point added cupful of vinegar with a
