Insured just in Time.

Last Friday E. R. Abbey went out
TO Fremont township to the home OF
Chas. Ryan, where he insured the
livestock on Mr.. Ryan's farm. That
night the big storm came up and
killed fine COW for Mr.. Ryan which
luckily he had insured that day and
will receive $50 for the animal.
There is nothing like having a little
insurance laying around the house.
1t is mighty fine thing to have.
The night of the above storm a far
mer near Canton had two horses and
two cows killed by lightning.

McCailum Has Narrow Escape

j. g. McCallum, the travelling
salesman of this city had hair rails
ing experience at Dorchester last
Thursday. He drives a Hudson
roadster on his territory in this vi
unity, and was down near Dorches-
or. The regular bridge short
Jays from Dorchester had been
washed out and replaced by a tenn
porary one. AS Mac drove up on
the bridge his car slid on the bridge
md the right hind wheel slid Of
md all that held the car on the
bridge was the differential, other
wise he would have gone over and
down an embankment ten or fifteen
feet. He had to send to Dorchester
after a block and tackel and five
men to get the car from its perilous
position. OF course Mac shut the
car off when he felt it sliding, but
nevertheless the accident was so
close to death or broken bones that
we don't think Mac has fully recov-
cred yet. The car was uninjured.

Pearson Gets Fine Cattle,

Luke O'Brien, of Bluffton, brought
in about the finest bunch of cattle
last Thursday that we have seen
come to DEBORAH in many day.
There were Fl head, all steers, and
averaged 400 pounds apiece. G. f..
Pearson was the buyer. 1t seems 70
US that Mr.. Pearson has purchased
an unusually large number of cat
tie this spring and summer, by the
looks of the fine droyes that we have
seen going to him. During this
month, we understand he has pur-
chased in the neighborhood Of 200
head. Pearson is a good buyer and
he rays the price if the cattle are
worth it.

Mott 4 Co. Had Big Sale.

Mott & Co. put on one of the big
gest suit sales ever given here in
years last Friday, and the many
customers who responded got bar
gains that are not given every day
in the year. The unrestricted choice
of any suit in the store was given
for $40. OF course it must have
meant a loss to the firm, but they
were determined not to carry any
suits over and consequently gave
their customers the benefit, and it
was a good one.

HOW TO CAN.
Germs or Bacteria Must Be Destroyed
to Bring Success,

Germs or Bacteria Must Be Destroyed
to Bring Success.
The theory of sterilization or the
complete killing of germs aud spores
must be understood by Gamers.
This last point is where many a
housekeeper needs more education.
Sometimes she may wonder why the
tomatoes didn't keep" or why she
didn't have any luck with corn. She
must know that both vegetables and
fruits are subject to attack from germs
OF microscopic plants like mold. These
germs or bacteria must be killed ell
tirely in order that the food does not
become affected by their continued
growth. Such bacteria can flourish
only when they have air and certain
conditions of moisture and heat High
temperature kills these bacteria This
high temperature and exclusion from
air are the two facts which need to be
watched in all canning.
Such temperature is from $50 to
212 degrees f. Unless the food is SUBJ
jected to this temperature for a longer
or shorter period. depending on the
kind of food. there can be no certainty
that the bacteria are killed.
In various sections of the country
1t is the practice to use preserving
powders sold with the purpose of maxi
ing canning successful" These pow

dangerous. as many cases of poisoning
have resulted where they have been
used. ~ the idea of sterilization is I'M
derstood and carefully followed there

Heat is the best preservative.
One of the most common ways Of
canning is to fill the jars and place on
wooden strips in the bottom of wash

is the mussiness and general unclean-

by steam cooker. which gives the

twenty four jars. They are made with
a copper bottom to hold the water and

jars are filled as usual with the fruit
