any military rifle In the world. On

longer range by about one-quarter

by France the d bullet is used, by
Germany the S bullet. The differ

portuguese legation here, the minis

British ships.

In long and optimistic review
Of the situation in both the eastern
and western theatres of the war, the
military correspondent OF the Berlin

the scarcity of news from German
headquarters, says that the German
general staff has sufficient fresh
troops at its disposal to oppose any
French and British tactical attempts
to outhank the German right wing
and to attack the German flank.
1t is Major Moraht's opinion that
the long drawn out line Of the allied
forces will be the cause Of their fin

comes, the writer maintained thai

THREE WAYS
TO CAN FRUITS
FOR WINTER

Different housekeepers have diff
ferent ways of canning fruits.
Some cook the fruit in jar in
the oven, some cook the fruit in
Jar in boiling water, and others stew
the fruit before packing 1t In the jars.
If stewing in a kettle is the process
followed, the fruit Is carefully pre-
pared and then put in stewpan over
n moderate fire.
When ready to put the prepared
fruit in the jars, slip broad skim
mer or ladle under one jar at time,
removing it, and letting the water
run free. Set the jar in the shallow
milk pan and fill to overlooking with
the boiling fruit. Slip silver plat
ed knife or the handle OF a spoon
around the inside of the jar, that the
fruit and the juice may be packed
solldly.
Wipe the rim of the jar, dip the
rubber ring In hot water. Put 1t
smoothly on the Jar and fasten.
Place the jar on a board and out
OF the draft. The work of filling and
sealing must be done rapidly.
Inasmuch as the glass jar contracts
as it cools, 1t is necessary to tighten
1t again later.
Boiling Process
Prepare the fruit and syrup as for
cooking in the oven. Fill the steril-
lied Jars and put the covers on loose
ly. Have a wooden rack ia the bot.
tom of wash boiler. Put in enough
warm water to come to about four
inches above the rack. Place the jars
in the boiler, but do not let them
touch one another. Pack clean, white
cotton rags, or, perhaps, better cot
ton rope between and around the jars
to prevent them from touching one
another when the water begins to
boil.
Cover the boiler and let fruit cook
ten minutes from the time the water
begins to boil. Draw the boiler back,
take off the cover. When the steam
passes off, take out one jar at time
and place in pan of boiling water
beside the boiler; fill up with boiling
syrup and seal.
Put the jars on a board. Do not
let cold air blow on them.
oven Process
Cover the bottom Of an oven with
a sheet of asbestos. II is cheap and
can usually be purchased at a plumb
er's shop. II this Is not available put

about two inches of boiling water.

Recently she was reported sold to

Washington for permission to regis

That was ten days ago and permis-

strong protest from the British con

the cargo consisted Of provisions and
coal and that German cruiser Leip-

GOVERNMENT OFFICES
BUY AND SELL FOREIGN
MADE ARTICLES

Washington, Oct. with Amer
lean factories forced to close because
of short demand for their products
the official Stationery Rooms of the
present Democratic Congress are sell
ing foreign made articles to Sena.
tors and Representatives On the sup
ply shelves Of the Democratic Con
gress are foreign made shears and
clocks, pocket knives, cutlery and
many other articles OF hardware
which bear foreign imprint. The
explanation Is that these foreign
goods were purchased at such a low
price American manufacturers could
not compete, but Is regarded as
strange that political expediency, If
nothing else would not prevent the
sale of foreign goods under the very
noses of Democratic statesmen. II
would not be surprise II the com
plant of American manufacturers
would not bring about house clean
ing in the House and Senate Station

Riddle Of workmen's Compensation

Riddle Of Workmen's Compensation.
An English miner was injured in
an accident and received his weekly
compensation payment in the usual
course. He recovered, but the en-
forced rest made him so fat that he
could not resume his work. The legal
problem then was whether. or not the
invalidating fatness was the direct
result of the accident. and whether.
II 1t were so. the man was entitled
still to be compensated SO long as the
invalidity lasted. The Court OF Ses-
sion decided in the miners favor.
which meant that while the obesity
continued the compensation must be
paid. The House of Lords. however,
decided the other way. and the man
will have to set to work to reduce his
weight--Westminster Gazette.
