Tomatoes for Allied Armies.

If the big war in Europe last long
enough the time may come when the
soldiers of the allied armies will feed
in their trenches upon luscious can
ned tomatoes grown in Maryland.
Just at present the average Euro
pean, be he Belgian, British or French,
does not look upon the big red juicy
tomato as a standard article of diet.
About the only kind of tomato known
is a small grape-like variety, grown
in Italy and Spain, and used only as
salad. However, the tomato pack
ers of the country, and particularly
the Gamers of Baltimore, where most
of the tomato pack is made, hope to
change all this and are planning to
introduce the canned tomato to the
commissary of the allied armies.
Almost Unknown.
Efforts have been made before TO
introduce canned vegetables abroad,
with little success. Corn is regarded
on the Continent as "hog feed and
peas are used mainly in the dried
state Tomatoes are almost unknown.
AS the heavy drain of war becomes
more apparent, the local packers hope
to change this.
Speaking of the chances of intro
ducing the local tomato to the Eu-
ropean armies, man prominent in
the canning industry, said:
Our chief claim for the canned
tomato as a diet for the soldier in
the field is its excellent anti-sporifc
qualities. The commissary general of
our own army attests that he finds
that there is nothing that will give
the same results for troops that must
go on campt diet for long period.
"In the English Army it is custom
ary to serve jam to the soldiers for
the same purpose. A can of tomatoes
costs less than a jar of jam and
would be more beneficial to the SOL
dier. The question of water supply
often confronts an army on the march
The water contained in can of to
matoes is refreshing and thirst
quenching, and a good, healthfpl
physic. The variety of ways that
the canned tomato could be served
also makes it an ideal camp fare

SUES W. MD. FOR $4,000.

Charles A. Lewis, of near Sabillas-
vile, Frederick county, who was bad
ly injured several months ago when
he was run down by Western Mary
land train and hurled from his team,
has filed a suit for damages for $4,000

instantly killed and the wagon badly
damaged. Lewis was hurled from the
wagon and was injured about the
body, the head and the limbs.

What Keeps Beef So High.

When range cattle that have never
eaten grain bring the owner 10 cents
pound in Chicago, one potent cause
for the high price of beef for TIE
table is demonstrated Ten cents for
every pound of flesh, fat, horns, hoofs.
hide and tallow easily explains the
final high cost of beefsteak to the
consumer.
These grass-fed cattle are able to
bring $160 or more a head in the
stockyards of Chicago because there
are few of them compared with the
great supply of several years ago.
The great plains of the West have
become so restricted by the advance
of the farmers that the number Of
cattle that can be supported by the
limited range that is left them is not
sufficient to furnish the country, as
formerly, with an abundant supply of
good beef
This condition is not going to
change. The ranges left will grow
smaller rather than larger, and the
supply of Western cattle will decrease
rather than increase. Our Eastern
farmers have fallen into the habit of
selling their calves for veal because
there was not sufficient profit in rails
ing them for beef and selling them in
competition with the more cheaply
raised range cattle of the Vest

CHESTNUTS CLOG MAIL

No one ever thought of chestnuts
as glutting the United States mail,
but the institution of the Parcel Post
has brought about many changes in
the handling of mail and the products
which Uncle Sam carries for so much
per ounce.
Now comes the news that Highland,
Va has burdened its carriers simply
through the sending of small parcels
of chestnuts from Highland homes to
friends in other sections. The few
cents it costs to send the remainder
makes it all the easier for the people
living in the rural districts to remem-
ber those who work where the hum
of the wheels is all powerful.
The back line between Staunton and
Highland is overburdened with chest
nuts. At the intermediate stations be-
tween that city and the largest towns
of the mountain county extra provis-
ion has to be made to handle the
chestnuts. They come in bags, par
cells and boxes. The stream is con-
tinuous. All old friends are being re-
membered according to carriers who
come in ladened with the pack ges
addressed to people in distant cities.
/ The chestnut crop is abundant this
year.

Urges Girls to be Thrifty.

Under the caption, "How the Farm
er's Daughter May Earn Pin Money,
the Department of Agriculture has
lust issued bulletin urging country
girls to can fruit, pickles and pre-
serves to sell to city folks who have
a taste for preserves like mother
used to make"
AS an instance of the profitabll1ty
OF canning" the department cites the
case of a Virginia woman who has
made a national reputation putting
up and selling pin money pickles"
She began few years ago in mod
est way, but now her products are
so popular that they can be found
nearly everywhere in the United
States. Another woman, the depart
ment says, has built up a profitable
lsiness making chowchow, which
, e sells for SO gallon.
- Big Demand.
"These are only samples Of what
hundreds of young women have done
to earn pin money by putting up can
ned goods at home," the bulletin con-
tinues. "People are continually de-
manding a better quality of canned
goods and are willing to pay bet
ter price for them. The farmers
daughter who desires to earn pin
money may avail herself of this de-
nand, and with care and persever-
ance learn to put up canned goods
which she can sell at a profit.
The bulletin, while encouraging the
young woman in her efforts to make a
business proposition of putting up
fruits and vegetables, cautions against
over enthusiasm. 1t advises that the
beginner experiment with few cars
before going too heavily into the pro-
ject. If the first cans keep we'll, she
may be encouraged to proceed.
Should Specialize.
''It is best to specialize and work
up a reputation for some particular
kind of goods, as did the woman al
ready mentioned" advises the depart
rent. zone girl may make feature
of catsup, another may find her best
product is pickles, while another may
put up an especially attractive can OF
Peppers, cauliflower, peaches, apples
or tomatoes.
People of means are the most
likely ones to want 'home-canned
products. The managers of the best
hotels, the stewards of social clubs IN
the cities, the managers of railroad
dining cars, and many retail stores
Will be glad to use the products OF the
girl who does her canning at home
If young woman knows by exper-
ience that her products are first-class
she need not hesitate to put good
price on them"

TO MAKE CONCENTRATED AP-
PIE CIDER ON A CONNER
CIAL SCALE.

The specialists of the fruit and vege-
table utilization laboratory of the depart
ment have completed arrangements for a
commercial test of the recently discov-
cred method Of concentrating apple cider
by freezing and centrifugal methods
AS a result, cider mill in the Hood
River Valley, Oregon. will this fall nm
dertake to manufacture and test on the
retail market l 900 gallons Of concen
trated cider, which will represent 1000
gallons of ordinary apple cider with only
the water removed.
The new method, it is believed,
makes possible the concentrating of cider
in such way that it will keep better
than raw cider, and also be reduced in
bulk that it can be shipped proiftably
long distances from the apple-growing
regions. The old attempts to concen-
trate cider by boiling have been failures
because heat destroys the delicate favor
of cider. Under the new method moth
ing is taken from the cider but the wa
ter, and the resultant product is thick
liquid which contains all the apple,juice
products and which can be restored to
excellent sweet cider by the simple addi-
ton Of four parts of water, The ship
pers and consumers, therefore, avoid
paying freight on the water in ordinary
cider. In addition the product, when
properly barreled, because of its higher
amount of sugar, keeps better than raw
cider, which quickly turns into vinegar.
The process. as described by the de-
partment' specialists consists of freezing
ordinary cider solid. The cider Ice is
then crushed and put into centrifugal
machines such as are used in making
cane sugar. When the cider ice is
whirled rapidly the concentrated juice is
thrown off and collected The water
remains in the machine as ice.
At ordinary household refrigerator
temperatures this sirup like cider will
keep perfectly Tor month or SIX weeks.
and if kept at low temperatures in cold
storage will keep for prolonged periods
At ordinary house temperatures it, of
course, will keep a shorter time.
To make the concentrated sirup the
cider mill must add to its equipment an
ice-making machine and centrifugal ma
chinery, so that the process is not prac-
ticable on a small scale. The specialists
are hopeful, however, that the CONNER
cial test soon to be ipaugurateed in Ore
gon will show that it will be impossible
for apple growers to concentrate their
excess cider and ship it proftably to the
far South or to other conproducing
regions. The specialists also believe
that it will enable apple producers to
prolong the market for cider.

REVALUATION TO
REVENUE
BRING

The reassessment imposed by the
| State Tax Commission on traders and
| the additional license which these
dealers have been forced to take out,
after the commission has found their
stock in trade underestimated, will
net the State big revenue, which
for years has been overlooked. In
one county, it is estimated, the addi-
tional revenue of the State will be
81 800 and to the county in increased
taxes $4,000. The increase is proper
tionate over the State.
Licenses Below Stock Value.
OF the more than 10000 traders in
Baltimore city 25 per cent, it is said,
had taken out licenses which by no
means covered their "stock in trade
generally kept on hand at the princi-
pal season of sale.' as provided by
law. Since the order was issued by
the commission fixing a fair estimate
of the stock traders have been flock
ing to the office of Adam Deupert,
Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas,
to pay the additional license.
Very few exceptions have been reg
istered, indicating that the traders
realize the fairness of the amount
fixed by the commission Some few
of the dealers have asserted that the
fixtures, which are excluded from
computation in fixing the stock-m
trade to be considered in imposing the
license fee, have been included in the
computation.
Effort To Equalize.
The effort of the State Tax Com
mission is in the direction of equall
zing the license fees and in dealing
fairly with all the traders. Some of
them have for years, It is said, been
placing a valuation far below even
fair average of their stock. In some
instances an increase in the valua-
ton placed on stock of several thous-
ands of dollars has brought no OBJ
lection.
More than half the traders in Bal
timore have been taking out a "fe-
male traders license" for which they
pay Sc, placing the value of their
stock at less than $500. In Balti-
more and Allegany counties the pro-
portion of those who slide in under
that head is even larger.
Through insurance carried on stock
and other means the commission has
arrived at basis on which to com
pute the valuations.
Many We're Not Taxed.
In many of the counties and even
in Baltimore, it has been found that
traders were not assessed on their
stock in trade. These Irregularities
have been picked out by the commits
sion, and the additional taxes that
will result will mean much in the
way of revenue. In the counties alone
there are 5000 traders who have
licenses on their stock but who are
not assessed on that same stock.
1t is impossible to compute the rev.
enue that will be brought in, but it
will be far more than enough to meet
the expenses of the State Tax Com
