Canning season
now At ITS HEIGHT
The Housewives in Midst OF
the Busy Summer
Period

With the canning and preserving
season at its height, Wilmington
housewives are in the midst OF one OF
the busy periods of the year. The
high price of sugar at first threaten
ed TO cause a lull in preserving, but
the quantity of fruits available and
the comparatively low prices evens
up, in a measure, the high cost OF the
former. Grocers and other merchants
having on sale jars, crooks, glasses
and other receptacles used for can
ming and preserving, report heavy
sales at this time.
At this time other seasons women
were paying four and five cents
pound for sugar. while at the pres
ent time the price ranges from SIX
and one-quaTter to seven cents
pound But in regard to the crops.
there has been great abundance OF
early fruits and berries, and unusual
ly large crops Of peaches, apples and
tomatoes are promised later.
Within the past>several years there
have been any number of novel de-
vices invented for making canning
and preserving methods simple and
less arduogs. The fruit Jars them
selves have undergone a change in
construction, the latest models hav-
ing large mouths, which do not crush
and break the fruit when il is put into
the jar. Then, too. many of the new
jars are square instead of round, and
this has its advantages in keeping the
fruit whole.
In some households the canning
and preserving proposition is ap-
preached slowly and cautiously, a few
jars of fruit being preserved daily
and Systematically. while in other
homes the event is made a kind oI
social function, for which friends and
relatives gather together at one
home, when great quantities are pre-.
served for use during the winter
months when fresh fruits are moi
available.
Nor is the art of canning confneC
to fruit alone, for in a large number
of households practically everythin.

vision itself in memory, that, spark

enough to follow wherever a flag led
the way. From Sumter TO Appomat-
tox the museum sketches the war by
means of many records. the most un-
usual of which is a bullet-riddlod
stump, which tells the story OF Spott-

To the old soldier who had his
share in that battle. the stump means
something more than so much dead
wood He sees it giant oak spread
ing its centuries of leafy shade over
those Confederate intrenchments.
But he can see it, right now, that poor
old tree cut down by enemy musket
balls during an attempt to recapture

Though the equestrian statue of
Grant will not be completed in time

recalls the valiant Sherman.

VACATION ADVICE

City Health Officers Would
Have Precautions
Observed

Although the vacation period may
be said to extend over the ennre
summer, the latter part OF July and
August is particularly the time Tor
vacations and for this reason advice
which is being promulgated by health
officials is timely and important The
advice has to do with typhoid fever,
in the hope that the disease will be
reduced to the minimum during the
present season.

State and local, declare that a person
should ascertain if possible, If any
typhoid fever has been known in the
vicinity for some years back. While
the presence of typhoid in years past
