Department Of Agriculture Points
to Danger IN Preserving Com
pounds; No Such Powder
Needed
BY United Press.

~ thttDa ibcos
Washington, Aug. Information
has come to the department Of agricul
ture that the canning season has
brought the usual demand on the part
OF housewives for salicylic acid and
boric acid These preparations are
sometimes sold in the form Of powder
under various names and are recon-
mended by the promoters for use in
preserving canned goods in home can
ming In the directions for use the
housewife Is told to fill the jar with
fruit or vegetables, cover with water
and add teaspoonful OF the preserv--
ing powder. While it is true that these
compounds may retard the decay of the
fruit or vegetable, 1t Is pointed out by
the experts of the department that
their use may be attended by serious
disturbances OF health Salicylic acid
| is well known as a poisonous sub
stance, and one of the evils which may

| the digestion. Il is therefore plain
that its extensive use in food may lead
to disturbance OF digestion and health
The federal food and drugs act pro-
hibits the use OF harmful preseryatiycs
| in foods that enter interstate com.
merce. The food law of nearly every
| state in the union forbids the sale
| within the state of foods that have
been preserved with harmful sub
stances. Neither the federal or state
| food laws apply to foods that are
canned in the home and consumed d
there. II would seem, however, that
the housewife would not knowingly
| use, in the foods she provides for her
| family, substances that she could not
use in foods for sale without violating
the law, because these substances are
injurious to health
Fruits and Vegetables can be kept
indefinitely if they are sterilized by
heat and properly sealed, ard there is
no excuse in the opinion of the ex-
perts of the department, for running
any risk by using preserving powders,
which may be injurious to health. The
use OF such powders in addition to the
possible injury to health, encourages
uncleanly or careless work in canning.
Reliance is placed in the efficacy o.
the preserving compound instead Of
upon cleanliness and heat.
The department has issued bulletins
that give specific directions for the
preserving and canning of fruits and
vegetables without the us OF preserv-
ing powders or canning compounds.
These bulletins may be obtained with
out cost from the department of agri-
culture. Application should be made
for Farmers Bulletin No. 203 on
canned fruit, preserves and jellies, ami
No 52l on canning tomatoes at "a and

PRESIDENT ORDERS
AN INVESTIGATION
Will Await Further Information Be
fore Deciding Upon Action in the
Armenia Disaster.

CORNISH, n. H., July /. Pres
ident Wilson has instructed the state
department to make full investigation
concerning the sinking of the Leyland
line steamship Armenia by a German
submarine and to keep him informed of
all the developments.
He remained in his study during the
forenoon in order to be in constant
touch with Washington The first news
received here of the destruction of the
Armenia with the loss of American
lives created the impression that she
was not merchant vessel in the sense
referred to in the note tc Germany con.
|cerning submarine warfare, and this
view appeared to be borne out by the
statement of the British admiralty
that the Armenia was engaged in ad.
miralty business. A special delivery
letter from the state department this
morning brought the President all the
facts i'll the case available at Washing
ton late yesterday.
President Wilson declined to com
ment on the incident and will await
further information before deciding on
the course of the American govern.
ment. He was from the start anxious to
find out whether the Armenia was un.
der charter to the British govern.
ment and what was the status of the
American muleteers aboard
1t was made known that he had in
structed Secretary Lansing to inform
him as early as possible of the inter,
national law feature involved in
order that he might form a correct
1n1umpnt nf ha q
uation. 1t was declared authoritative
ly that for the present President vii
son had no thought of hurrying back
to Washington because of the latest
submarine problem. The investigation
which will be conducted through Am.

bassador Gerard at Berlin will occupy

WALKER NO LONGER
GOOD SAMARITAN
President of. Brattleboro Board of
Trade Tires of Furnishing Repair
Outfits for Nothing

Horton ID. Walker, president of the
Brattleboro board of trade. has re-
signed his position of Good Samaritan
TO autolsts IN trouble. The loss of his
third jack and third pump and third
set of tire tools has convinced him
that playing the role of Samaritan to
drivers of cars is too expensive for
him. The entry list is open wide to
all candidates for the position. The
only requirements are plenty of Jacks
spare inner tubes, tire tools and
pumps and a genial and forgiving dis
position.
Mr.. Walker was driving his we'll
known boat, emblazoned with his
name, address, business and sundrv
other information, towards BrattIe-
boro Tuesday morning. As usual he
was late for an engagement and was
touchlng the high spots occasionally
suddenly off his port bow Ioomed
another ship of the road in distress.
One rear lifebelt had been torpedoed
and the ship had sharp list to star
board. The pilot was inspecting the
damage when the relief boat bauled
alongside and the CHEEKY voice of the
president of the board of trade. who
was brimming over with the Joy of
helping, offered assistance.
The pilot in distress had a spare
inner tube, but no method of getting
1t where 1t would do any good. He
had no jack, no tools and NOTHING
but his lungs to fill the tube with.
While he was telling his troubles
the Samaritan was yanking the neces-
sary requirements from the locker of
his boat, explaining that he was. as
usual, late for an engagement, and had
no time to tarry and give physical as
slstance. Indicating his name and adj
dress he suggested that as the wrecked
crew We're headed for Brattleboro 1T
would not be out of their way to-
leave the relief supplies at his place
where is everything electrical.''
Not only would they do that but
they wanted to buy some lights, and
as Mr.. Walker signalled for full speed|
ahead, he shouted that he would have
ready anything they wanted, and he
was gone.
For two days he has had ON exhi-
bition pleasing display of lights Of
all descriptions in his place of bust
ness and room in the locker of his
boat Tor a jack, tire pump, and tire
tools.
Says the president of the BrattIo
boro board of trade: "There are too
many autos around here for me TO
undertake to supply all of them with
wrecking outfits. / we quit. That s

BRITISH UNIONS KEEP

LONDON, July 1.-The seven davs

self as applied to munitions workers
During the last two days the enroll
ment has averaged 10000 a day.
Lloyd George has announced sub.
stantial concessions to labor in the
form of amendments to the munitions
bill, the concluding stages of which
will be dealt with in the house OF
commons today.
The chief amendment limits the
power of compelling arbitration of la
Dor disputes in fields outside the ac
tual manufacture of munitions. In ac
cordance with the bill as amended this
prerogative will be exercised by the
government only when the munitions
work is affected. The coal miners
particularly objected to being subject
to forced arbitration, as they con
tended that miners had never been
shirkers.

AMERICANS WARNED
TO CARRY PASSPORTS
State Department Includes Canada and
Latin America as Well as Eu-
ropean Countries.

WASHINGTON, July /. - Another
warning against going TO foreign lands
without passports has been given Amer
leans by state department officials. In
all countries except Canada passports
are necessary, and even in Canada thev
should be carried by citizens of the
United States whose names Indicate
German, Austro-I Hungarian or Turkish
origin.
The department advises the same
precautions in preparing for visit to
a country In Central or South America.
Recently there came a despatch from
the consul general at Rio Janeird de-
seribing difficulties experienced bv
Americans in getting out of Brazil af
ter coming there from the United
States without passports. The steam
ship companies demand conclusive proof
that there will be no trouble with the
immigration authorities before thev
will take q passenger for the United
States from South American port.
Great Britain s passport regulations
are being made more stringent in the
effort to check the movement of Ger
man spies. Ambassador Page at Lon
don reported that all children Ia wears
old or over entering New Zealand must
have their photographs on the passport
of their parents or other persons whom
they accompany. This regulation has
been in effect for some time in the
British Isles

FORMER TESTIMONY
TURNED AGAINST THAW
Evidence of His Mother to BE Used
to Support the Contention That
He Is Insane.

NEW YORK, July l. transcripts
of the testimony given in Harry X.
lhaw s two trials for the killing of
Stanford White were in possession of
the states attorneys today and prep
aratlons had been made to read ex
tracts from them in his sanity trial
now in progress.
The records, the state expects, win
support its contention that Thaw is
insane. Reading of the evidence given
by Mrs. May Copley Thaw in the see
ond trial had not been concluded yes
terday when the court adjourned and
was continued today.
Mrs Thaw told of her son IS early
life, his eccentric actions just before
the killing of White and the faint of
insanity which affected some of Thaw s
relatives
The summoning of Evelyn Nesbit
Ihaw as witness for the state was
regarded as Indicating that her story

an effort to learn, however, whether
the vessel was armed and whether she
was a part of the British naval forces

Wilson at Cornish, n H., and Secre-

it was considered probable that they
would communicate with each other

strong did not show clearly just how
many Americans were lost. In his
list he named 20 Americans missing
eight whites and II negroes-who
were unaecounted for, but later tele-

and ether survivors by Belgian
trawler, and transferred to two Brit
ish destroyers, which brought them in
