But making pepper sauce was un- usual so she decided to try an experi- ment. And the experiment worked, far beyond her dreams. So she has gone into the pepper sauce business and she intends next year to obtain help in her gardening and picking.
 But this year she worked alone and proved what one woman Gan do. She planted her seed in boxes early in January, and all during the frosts of February and March, she nourished the tender plants in the house, giving them the benefit of all of the sun shine that came, morning and after noon. In April, she prepared the small garden space behind her house and set them out.
 The first pods were ready for pick ing in July and then Mrs. Smiths real work begun. By her own special for mula, she prepared the vinegar and bottled and labeled her product. She calls it Purity Brand, and anyone who visits her storeroom and sees the clean liness of it and the order of her work, will be convinced that she has named it alright. She has just finished her seasons work and can sit for awhile and enjoy the sight of her handiwork.
 But woman's work is never done, and already seeds are planted in boxes

Neither of the men contracted the disease although both are very much emaciated and it will be a long time be- fore they will have recovered from the effects of the unbalanced diet upon which they subsisted for over eight months.
 Only of the II men who composed the 'pelagra squad" remained on tho convict farm after being pardoned, though six of them had the disease and two others were under suspicion. The one man remaining, and who is there yet, is Alex Gamble from Jefferson county one of those who developed pellagra. Dur ing the past week he has gotten well along on the road to recovery, having gained five pounds weight. but states that he will stay where he is until satis- fled of cure and regains his strength.

stock may be, it does not represent what bling, but, instead, the best kind of busi- ness scrutiny and methods. Mr. Chap man made, a little over year ago, as ex- haustive study was possible of Beth lehem Steel companys conditions. He was persuaded that the European war would vastly increase the business of that company and he had profound admiration for the business acumen, as well as abil- ity as steel maker, of Charles M. Schwab. He therefore bought as an in- vestment rather than as a speculation.
 The intimate personal and political friends of Elhu Root, and especially those who have been preparing for nation wide movement which has his nomination for the presidency in view, are now in clined to think that a serious tactical mistake was made by identifying MT. Root so closely with the new constitution that some reaction was inevitable in view of the greatest demonstration of public state in this country, sufficient to defeat the proposed constitution by a majority of 425,000 votes. There is also some won der whether it was not tactical mistake to prepare a banquet at which Mir Root was the guest to celebrate his distin- guished services in connection with the making of the proposed new fundamental law Time will be required, of course. be- fore 1t can be determined whether or not the defeat of this constitution will serve to make MT. Root no longer available as a presidential candidate.

BULGARIA CERTIFIED
 AT DANUBE'S OPENING

Sofia. November s.-(By wireless to Sayville.) .)-The announcement of the reopening of the Danube to naviga- tion has created a far deeper impress sion here than mobilization. The polit- ical leaders and newspapers express satisfaction that Bulgaria is no long, CT isolated because 1t is linked with the central powers by the Danube and therefore looks to the future with as- surance that they will never lack mill itary means for carrying on the war to a successful end.
 The reopening of the Danube was considered so momentous an event that King Ferdinand and Premier Radosla- voff went to Lew Panaka to witness the arrival of the first boats from Hun gary. They returned to Sofia today. a Passenger service will begin in few days. rendering Bulgaria inde- pendent of the Roumanian railways.

Six drayIoads of bottles of pepper sauce have rolled away from Mrs A. C.. Smiths door in Elyton. and yet she has the shelves of her tiny store stocked to the ceiling.
 Mrs. Smith owns pepper sauce fac tory. Or, to be more exact, Mrs. Smith is a pepper sauce factory-for single handed, she has planted, tended, pick and put up 5997 bottles of pepper sauce since January l. She intended to make it 5000, but at the last her bottles gave out, and she lacked three of reaching her mark.
 This is the second year of the exist ence of this unique industry, and it stands as concrete example of what a woman, unaided may do when occa- sion demands. When Mrs Smith realized that her husbands failing health made his earning capacity linn ited, she sat down and took stock of herself, and wondered what she best knew how to do. Preserving, pickling and making pepper sauce had been part of her life as a housewife, just as it has of every other one.
