USE CRIPPLE TO DEMON
STRATE ARTIFICIAL LINES

Vienna, Aug. 23.-Rudolph Guertel-
schmied. an Austrian who in 1907
lost both arms and both legs in Spo-
kane, Washington, through contact
with a high current electric wire, is
now in Vienna, and is being taken
through the various hosoitals where
war cripples are in order to demon
strate to them the use Of artificial
limbs, and to cheer them up in gen.
eral.
Guertelschmied was able to walk
five days after his artificial legs had
been supplied him, and today is able
to walk between 10 and 12 miles a
day, without relying upon 4 cane. He
runs without difficulty, jumps, and
goes up and down stairs readily He
can even climb ladder snd ride a
tricycle.. and does almost everything
that a person with legs can do.
He is quite as clever with the use
of his "hands" and eats with knife
and fork, writes and carries pack
ages and parcels with seemingly no
difficulty. He is married and is en-
gagged as a tobacco worker The war
has lessened his earning capacity,
and so he has become, so to speak,
an instructor in the use Of artificial
limbs to keep up his income to par

SOME CANNING
COMPOUNDS
DANGEROUS
HOUSEWIVES WARNED THAT THE
USE OF PRESERVING POWDERS
is HARMFUL AND USELESS
NOT NECESSARY.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 24.-lnfor-
nation has come to the department
that the canning season has brought
the usual demand on the part of house
wives for salicylic acid and boric acid.
These preparations are sometimes sold
in the form of powder under various
trade names, and are recommended by
the promoters for use in preserving
canned goods in home canning. In
the directions for use the housewife
is told to fill the jar with the fruit or
vegetables, cover with water, and add
a teaspOonful of the preserving pow
der. While it is true that these com
pounds may retard the decay of the
fruit or vegetable, it 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 poisonous sub
stance, and one of the evils which may
accompany its use, is arrangement of
the digestion. 1t is therefore plain
that its extensive use in food may lead
to disturbance of digestion and health.
The federal food and drugs act pro-
hibts the use of harmful preservatives
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
there. 1t 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.
Artificial PreservatIves Not Necessary
Fruits anG vegetables can be kept
indefinitely if they are sterilized by
heat and properly sealed, and 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 can
ming. Reliance is placed in the eff
cacy Of the preserving compound, in
stead 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 use 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

ned Fruit, Preserves and Jellies, and

MILITARY ACTIVITY
Prominently in Evidence In Upper and Lower
Canada

rIVl'lsilenssy III CVS0euCe III upper an0 Lower
Canada
The striking sincerity with which
the war spirit has taken hold of Canada
was strongly impressed on James G.
Stanley, of Lead, who returned recent
ly from q trip through that country, as
far east as Montreal. At every hand,
military activity was In evidence and
the pronounced determination of the
country to do it's full share of psrtic-
ipation in the European war has be-
come factor in the every day life Of
the communities of the dominion.
The coming of the war In Europe has
done more to unite the races and in
terests of Canada than anything that
has happened since the formation of
the dominion under British rule.
Heretofore there has been as wide q
difference in the sentiments, and
modes of life of the French of lower
Canada and the English of upper Can
ada, or Ontario, as existed between the
two races on the opposite side of the
English channel, but as the mother
countries have united in their struggle
against the Tuetonic allies, SO the
French and English of Canada have
been brought together at last in q
common cause.
Canada, already, has sent 10000
men to the front and has $4,000 more
drilling; they will be ready to depart in
q couple Of months. In every city and
village enlistments are being registered
aud no effort on the part of the mill.
tary or civic authorities is necessary
In order to secure recruits.
Canada is suffering materially, in q
financial way, from the exactions of
the war. In Montreal, especially, Mr..
Stanley was impressed by the reversal
of conditions from what obtained be-
fore the war broke ont. At that time
Montreal was in the midst of q real
estate boom of healthy and substan-
tial character. The city's industrial
and commercial activities had out
grown the building accommodations
offered and In consequence, real
estate and building boom of magnitude
had been launched. The war put an
immediate stop to this and partly con-
structed buildings, Doth in the busi-
ness and residence parts Of the city,
are to be found at every turn. How
ever, In some ways the country has
not lost ground; the bank deposits are
- great, or greater, than ever before,
but the money is not finding tts way
into the chanels that lead to industrial
activity and prosperity.

PROMINENT SMlTnWICK RANCH.
MAN ENDS LIFE WITH GUN
DESP0NDENCY THE CAUSE
SISTERS find HIM DEAD IN ROOM ON
RETURN FROM VISIT WITH
OTHER BROTHER

County Coroner G. G. Killinger and
Sheriff E T. Clark we're summoned to
Smithwick at about eight O'Clock Sun
day evening in response to q message
stating that M. A. Robbins had COM
mitted suicide.
Upon their arrival there they found
that death had been caused from q
shot gun wound self inflicted and at
the inquest which was held that even
ing the following facts were brought to
light. The --deceased, who was about
fifty years Of age had seemed in the
best of health on the Sunday morning
and In the afternoon his sisters, Mrs.
Irene E Ferguson and Miss Laura
Robbins, who made their home with
him, decided to visit their other
brother, B. A. Robbins, for q few
hours. On their return about eight
O'Clock that evening they found the
remains lying on the floor of his room
and shot gun near by. From the
condition Of the body 1t seems the
deceased had placed the muzzle of the
gun in his mouth and had used fork
cd stick to pull the trigger. The en-
tire top Of his head was blow off and
the entire room was covered with blood.
Mr.. Robbins Was very quiet man
and had very few conadents but the
loss Of fifteen head OF cattle recently
which we're stolen from him seemed to
prey on his mind and this is the only
known reason for the rash act.
Funeral services weae held on Tues.
day afternoon at Smithwtck at two
O'Clock and the interment made In the
Cemetery near that place. The surviv-
ing relatives are Mrs. Irene E.. Fergu-
son. Miss Laura Robbins and B. E..

REPUBLICAN FORCES MEET
To Choose Time and Place of National Con
yentiOn

~ SuVUSe tlue duO race OF National kOn-
ventiOn
Washington, D. c., Dec. l7.-Mobil.
ization Of republican forces for the
campaign Of 1916 was formally tegun
today, when the National Committee
gathered in conference to choose the
time and place for the coming National
Convention. With Chicago, st. Louis
Dallas and Philadelphia strong in the
running. and all making bids for the
convention, with big delegations 8
present and ample funds provided to
defray the expenses at each city, the
decision will rest in show down of
votes. Chicago is most likely to carry
the ballotting, it is said.
The other business of the meeting
today is reapportionment of dele
gates on the basis Of the change in the
county's population. Sectionalism
will have part in this work, for the
southern states will not relish re-
duction in their representation.
An indication Of what the republican
platform may be like is given by the
announcement of Chairman Hilles that
the campaign to restore the party to
power will be waged ON the basis Of q
general attack on the present admins
tration. The tariff, the handling of
foreign affairs, the alleged failure Of
democracy to keep its promise to econ.
omy and the ship bill and other Wilson
measures will be the main points Of
attack, according to Chairman Hilles.
