Travellers accept
NEW BAGGAGE Law
Less Resentment is Now
Expressed Against
the Railroads
INTENDED BOUNDS
WERE EXCEEDED

Railroad baggagemen in this city say
that the travelling public appears TO have
accepted the situation and swallowed its
resentment IN respect TO the baggage
valuation imposed by the railroads. plac
ing the responsibility. therefore, where
it belongs-on the law. Admittedly
the Cummins act did contemplate such a
charge, but like many another hastily
considered measure, it is of much wider
application than was intended by its
author AS matter of fact, however
the charges in question, although they
may appear at first glance to constitute
a mild form of extortion, in reality are
just, notwithstanding the act itself. is
so imperfect.
The railroads carry, free of charge
$50 pounds of baggage on each full
travel ticket, but will not accept any
single piece of luggage the weight OF
which exceeds 250 pounds. No limit i;
placed on the number of pieces traveller
may have transported, provided each i:
within the $50 pounds maximum, q
charge being made for any total weight
in excess of $50 pounds at the rate Of
one sixth the first class fare for the dis
lance to be covered per 100 pounds, witt
a minimum charge of % cents, not Z
minimum, however, per 100 pounds, bu'
per single charge.
If the distance covered. for example
is 20 miles, the travel fare will be 81
cents and the excess baggage weigh
rate eight and one-third cents per l0l
pounds. The railroad will transport tn
free $50 pounds, plus 300 pounds exces
weight, for 25 cents. The Cummins ac
on the other hand provides for a charg
of fee equal TO one-tenth Of one pc
cent Of any declared valuation in exoes
of 500. with a l0-cent minimum fee 70
insurance. On this basis, for a 20-mil
haul, the excess charge would be tn
same as for a haul to San Francisco.

The addition of such mild pre-
servatives as sugar. salt, spices
and vinegar make possible the
preservation of many varieties of
food and thus enables the house
wife to provide the varied diet
which is so necessary to good
health without extravagant buying.
Meats are preserved by brine"
and by smoking; fruits and vege-
tables are dried and canned or
made into jellies. jams, preserves,
conserves and marmalade. By
these processes, the table mey be
supplied with an infinite variety of
food at all seasons of the year
If the food is properly prepared
and the cans thoroughly sterilized
canning is az effective preserva-
tive process, keeping all bacteria
out of the food. The two princi-
pies involved are First, remove all
bacteria present in the food; sec
ond, prevent bacteria 1ntering into
food after it has been canned Heat
destroys bacteria Failures, in
canning are either due to this de-
struction not being complete or to
the sealing process not having
been adequate.
The reason why some foods are
more easily preserved than others
is that they contain only bacteria
that is unable to produce spores
Such bacteria is easily destroyed
by simple boiling This is true OF
most fruits; they are therefore
easily canned.
Some vegetables. such as green
corn, contain the kind OF bacteria
which develops spores, and intense
heat is required fo- their destruc
ton. The presence of even one Of
these spores will render ordinary
methods of canning Intellectual. 4

Helps For The Canning Season

higher degree of heat than is cas-
lily obtained in the ordinary house
hold is necessary to destroy this
bacteria. In canning factories,
special devices are constructed for
heating under pressure, resulting
in a complete sterilization of food
products
Such vegetables as tomatoes
require some care in canning, but
they can be purchased at certain
seasons of the year at such a low
price that by going to the trouble
of canning them at home, il is pos
sible to have very excellent canned
tomatoes and other vegetables in
the winter for half the price of
good brands at the store. Where
these are home grown as well as
home canned, the cost, including
cans, fuel and labor is negligible
Strawberry Jsm-Stem the Der
ries. For one pound of berries,
take one-half pound sugar. Place
the berries and sugar in alternate
layers liz dish and allow to stand
in cool, dry place for day and
night. Add another half pound
sugar and allow 10 stand for an
other day and night Do not allow
fermentation. Boil for half an
hour, stirring occasionally TO pre-
vent burning. When the fruit no
longer floats above the surface of
the syrup. remove at once from
the stove. Fruit made into jams
in this way will be whole and firm.
Spiced Plums-Use small plums

ME RCHANTS' ASSN
 SYSTEM OF CREDITS
Hot Springs Merchants Place Credits on 3o-Day Plan, With a Key Rating to Guide Them in Extending Credit

The Hot Springs Merchants Asso- citation, a list Of the membership of which is published in another column ot this issue, has iuaugurated the 30- day credit system, with key rating to guide them in extending credit.
 This plan is adopted both for the protection of the merchant and the man or woman who seeks credit and pay their bils The key rating sys. tenn will protect the merchant from sales on bad credits. and will also pro tect those parties wuo pay their bills promptly
 The association is supplied with the following notice, which they are ten dering their customers, when render ing bills,
 "Notice-As members or tIe Mer- chants Credit Association. we are compe led to follow their rules of ex, tending credit Of 90 days only and ask your cooperation. All bills are due between the first and the fifth tol- lowing the month of purchase'
 The key rating to The credit value of patrons is divided into four classes:
 l. Prompt pay
 9. Good but slow.
 9. Very slow and pays no attention to collectors.
 f. Don't nay
 The res p0usia,e patron who secures credit and pays promptly will secure No 1 rating, thereby insuing the granting Of credit
 The patrc1 who is good but slow pay, will likely secure credit. and the merchants experience with this par ticu'ar customer Or tho collection of the bin will guide him in the future.
 The patron who is rated very slow pay and who gives no attention to col ectors, will find it difficult to obtain credit but he can increase his rating by taking care of bills that he owes.
 The patron who E rated 'dou't pay" win find the doors of credit clos ed to him. Everyone sh01d euafd against this rating. Anyone aaNlha No { rating should make every ei- fort to meet their past due obliea- uons This will clear the way to ob- tain in time better rating
 Under the new system the mer- chants will mail or deliver bi Is to all customers on the first of every month. This is the general plan Of a.I ren- dered to all customers alike. Even prompt pay customers are urged to bear in mind that this is the regular and genera. plan. ard is for their pro- lection as wei as for the protection of the merchants.
 The Merchauts' Association respect fully solicits the cooperation of all patrons in this matter and finally itI can assure them that the system will result in great good to all concerned
