the more mature ones. This is espe-
cially true of asparagus, string beans
and okra.
Gather vegetables and fruit in the
early morning while the dew is still on
them and can them before they are al
lowed to wither.
The principle of sterilization is the
same for all fruits, meats and vege-
tables.
Place the false bottom in the boiler
and put in as many jars as the boiler
will conveniently hold. Don't try to
crowd them in. Leave space between
them. Pour in about three inches of
cold water, or just enough to form
steam and to prevent the boiler from
going dry. 1t is not necessary to
have the water up to the neck of the
jars as the steam will do the cooking.
Put the cover on the boiler and set
it on the stove. After the water is
brought to a boil keep it boiling for
n hour. Remove the cover and al
low the steam to escape.
Press down the spring as shown in
the side of the jar. This clamps down
the and prevents any outside air
entering. The jars can be allowed to
cool by removing from the boiler or
left there to cool until next day.
On the second day raise the spring
on the side Of the jar. This will re.
lieve any pressure from steam that
might accumulate inside the jar dur.
ing the second cooking. Boil for one
hour.

Though there are a great many
brands of "so-called" preserving pow
ders sold not only under advertised
trade names but by druggists every
where, which are supposed to simplify
the canning Of vegetables and fruit
the use of chemical p~reservatives in
canning is not to be recommended.
The proper way to sterilize is by
heat and this can be done very easily
and cheaply.
Good jars are the first requisite.
Glass is the most satisfactory. Tin is
more or less soluble in the juices of
fruits and vegetables. Even the most
improved styles of tin cans, which are
lacquered on the inside to prevent the
juice from coming in contact with the
tin, are open to this objection.
While the small amount Of tin may
not be injurious, it gives an undesir-
able color to many canned articles.
There are many kinds of glass jars
on the market, each possessing GER
tain distinct points Of excellence. The
screw top or Mason jar is the one in
most common use.
An improved %screw-top glass jar is
fitted with a glass top held in place by
a metal cover which screws down over
the neck of the jar. If sterilization is
conducted properly, all the air will be
driven out of the jar by the steam.
Upon cooling. this is condensed, a
is formed OIL the inside which
clamps down the glass top against the
rubber ring and seals the jar auto
m~atically.
The metal cover can then be re-
moved, as the pressure of the outside
air will hold the glass top securely in
place.
Another type of jar in common use
is shown. This has a rubber ring and
glass top which is held in place by a
simple wire spring.
Vegetables often spoil after being
sterilized because of defective rub
bers. 1t is poor economy to buy cheap
rubbers or to use them a second time.
Buy a good grade of jar. The in

NOT AN INHERITED DISEASE
Experiments With Cattle Have Proved
That Tuberculosis Is Not Thus
Transmitted.

At the Woburn experimental farm
in England an interesting and ex-
tremely important study of the hered-
ity of tuberculosis among cattle has
recently been made. Fifteen calves
from tu~berculous mothers were reared
under healthy conditions, in which in
dividual infection with the tubercle
bacillus was impossible. That is, they
were taken away from their mothers
and supplied with pure milk from an
unaffected source. When the steers,
into which a part of these calves grew,
were killed, not a trace of tubercular
infection could be found in their bod
les. The heifers have been bred from,
and their calves will in turn be exam
ined for tuberculosis. The part of
the experiment involving the steers
indicates that tuberculosis among cat
tie at least is not inherited. If the
heifer-test also supports this view. an
economic fact of considerable agricul-
tural Importance will be in a fair way
of proof.

Public Health.

Disease and epidemics used to be
counted as "acts of God" in the old
legal phrase. 1t has taken modern
sanitary science to discover that the
most of them result from acts Of man,
and that a good portion of the rest
may be controlled by the exercise Of
mans power over nature. The United
States government has been a pioneer
among the nations in demonstrating
the power of modern sanitation to
save life. 1t sent Waring to Havana;
he made it a city of health, and laid
down his life in SO doing. 1t took a
fever-smitten tropic wilderness, its
noxious jungles steaming under a tor
rid sun, and the death rate of the
Panama Canal Zone is today an ex-
ample to the most salubrious regions
of the world. The whole history Of
modern sanitation tends to drive home
public responsibility for public health.

GERMANS LOVE CITY
Residents Are Proud of Frank
fort-on-the- Main.
Natives Pity B%erliners, the Hamburger.
ers and the Neutrality-suspicious.
Make Money In Capital Then
Settle Down In Frankfort,

There is an old saying known all
over Germany, How can any one ex-
list who has not been born in Frank
fort?" OF course the Frankforters
take this saying seriously, while the
rest of the Germans merely laugh.
The Berliner, for instance, is very
much like the New Yorker, and pities
every one who is not fortunate enough
to live in Berlin; the Munchener won
ders how anyone ear exist outside Of
Munich, and the Hamburger clings to
the Binnen-Alster as the most neces-
sary spot in the world.
However, the other cities, while
they believe firmly in their own
superiority, do not faunt it in the
faces of their neighbors as much as
do the Frankforters. The Berliners'
and the Hamburger superiority is the
naughty, cold superiority that is char
acteristic of the north, while the Mum
cheners is the good-natured, ELUSIVE
superiority of the south, while the
Frankforters Is a go-between the
south combined with the ~overbearing-
ness Of the north But just the same
the Frankforter is wellmannered and
kindly to an extreme.
Frankfort Is the Mecca for the Jew
ish race. They drift into Germany
from Russia, ~long-bearded; lo~ng-Iocked,
poor and oppressed. They settle first
in Karlsbad and Bohemia, where they
work and saw and starve to get to-
gether a little gold.
With this little capital they migrate
to Berlin, where it is doubled, and
when this is done they journey to
Frankfort to settle down in peace and
comfort, free from m~olestation. A few
of the more enterprising ones step
farther to Paris or London, but the
good old orthodox Jew is satisfied
with Frankfort for a haven.
Even in the Middle Ages was Frank
fort for refuge for the Jew. He had
to buy the privilege of living here and
was often m~istreated, but somehow
the race fiourished, and they grew
very wealthy and their money was a
stepping stone to all things.
Twice the town-folk burned the
Jewish part of the city, but the Jew
lived on, for no tyranny nor insult
