USE DIRT FOR FILLING.

The street committee has decided
to use the dirt which is being moved
from Main street in the paving work
and fill the big hole on the west side
of Main street at the intersection OF
Main street and Ursuline avenue.
This has always been one of the worst
places in Bryan, as the hole was so
deep and so steep that 1t could not be
used by vehicles. This will be paved
back to the property line when filled
in and will be sloped so as to be used
by buggies and wagons. The crushed
rock that was put on Main street some
years ago will be used to fill in the
worst places on the streets about
town. The center of Main street when
paved will be 1.26 feet higher than
the top OF the curb and all dirt higher
than this will have to be removed,
which will furnish dirt sufficient to
furnish filing material for many bad
places

CONGO HORRORS HAVE DISAPPEARED
THROUGH EFFORTS OF ASSOCIATION
Gondon Correspondent Of the United

(London Correspondent of the United
Press
London, July S.-With the dissolu
tion of the Congo Reform Association,
which was formally notified to the
Belgian government today, the clos
ing chapter was written in one of the
most successful international crusades
ever unertaken in England. 1t was
admittedly due almost altogether to
the efforts OF this organization of
British publicists that the atrocities
of the Congo, which so shocked the
entire world when they were first re-
veaed dozen years ago during the
reign of the late King Leopold. have
now entirely disappeared The re-
moval of the rubber tax. or blood
tax" toward which the association es-
pecially directed its energies. now
leaves the natives of the Congo free
to gather the natural products of the
country and dispose of them in legi-
innate trade. without restriction.
"The Congo has ceased to be drain
ed of it's life blood in the interests of
Belgian capitalists. who We're aided
and abetted by American financiers,"
today said E. d. Morel, secretary Of
the association, following the final
meeting of the organization, "and as
our objects have been accomplished.
there is no further need of our eX-
istence.
"The concessiona.re companies, of
shameful memory. have all either
been annulled or their powers curtail-
ed and transformed. and thousands of
natives who had fled to recesses of
the forest to escape their tormentors
are now back in their old settlements
on the river banks. The country is
no longer harried by swarms of ir-
regular soldiers. and the practice by
/ the administration of arming one tribe
against another has been abolished.
Our association has seen all its de-
mands save one. realized We failed
to secure special legislation enactment
recognizing native tenure of land, but
the Belgian government is acting upon
that policy without formally incorpor-
ating it into law.
at may take two or more genera
/ tions to heal the wounds inflicted up
on the Congo but we are satisfies
that a return to the old system has
now been made utterly impossible
The success of our agitation really
marks an epoch in the history of the
relations of European nations toward
the colored races"

The other suggestions of the so

careful consideration are: Provision
of a general treaty Of obligatory arbi-

Bags for the Traveller

The patent leather enitcases now
used are light and less likely to be in
jured than the reed ones which have
been so popular. An innovation in
travelling bags is found in those of or
binary size (16 inches and longer),
made with a bottom which folds in,
enabling one after removing the con-
tents to fold the bag and pack it flat
in the suitcase. Thus, when a side
trip is taken for night or two, and
the large baggage is left at the main
stopping place. the travelling bag can
be carried. When on the other hand
the modern capacious suitcase accom-
panies one. the bag can he emptied
and packed. thus reducing the baggage
to one piece. This is especially help
full for those not travelling in a party
as one piece of baggage is less costly,
and requires less care. says Good
Housekeeping The umbrellas which
fold twice fit inside a travelling bag.

TO RETAIN TASTE AND COLOR
WHILE PRESERVING FRUIT

Fruit may be cooked in the jar or
saucepan and then transferred to the
Jar. If cooked in a saucepan no more
sugar should be used than would be
desirable If it were to be eaten fresh.
To preserve the original taste and col
or it should be cooked as little as con-
sistent with good keeping and handled
very carefully. Fruit cooked in the
jars in which 1t is to be kept has a
better flavor and color.
Fruit may be cooked inthis way by
the use of the time-honored glass can
with screw-on top. or by the use of
any of the new wide-mouthed jars.
Fruit canned in this way is put in
to the jars uncooked, covered with

syrup made of sugar and water and
cooked in boiling water until done,
the length of time depending upon the
article to be cooked
Whatever method of canning is
used, 1t is necessary to cleanse every
thing used in the canning process. To
do this place utensils, cans. etc, in
cold water, place over a slow fire and
bring to boiling point The water
should cover the cans. This not only
cleanses the articles, but makes the
cans much less liable to break. When
the water boils around the cans. re-
move as needed. If they are to be
filled with hot fruit. set out one at
time on cloth wrung out of boiling
water, and fill at once with hot fruit.
Covers should be cleansed, as well as
all spoons and basins used. Always
use new rubbers.- Woman's World.
