Suit Filed to Quiet Title.

Attorney Virgil II. Massey, of Am
it'll, filed a suit in the Polk county cir

his wife and then committed suicide at
their farm home near Bethel, last
Thanksgiving day The defendants in

WATER COMPANY
STANDS ON RIGHTS
Franchise Permits Cutting Of
PaVementS and II Insists
On This Right

According to the provisions of the
proposed ordinance in regard to the
cutting of paved streets for the pur-
pose OF laying gas, water mains or 9th.
er cOnduits, which will come before the
city council Monday night, the corpora.
tons and companies owning franchises
were notified by the city recorder of
the intention of the city council to pass
and adopt the ordinance at the regular
meeting, February 2t.
The proposed ordinance provides that
it shall be unlawful for any person.
firm or corporation conducting bust
ness wherein the streets or alleys are
used for purposes of laying mains or
cOnduits, to cut, break up, deface or
molest any pavement
The Salem Water, Light & Power
company in response to the notice sent
1t, filed a protest refusing to accept
the amendment to their franchise as
provided in the proposed ordinance.
The city cannot alter or amend their
franchise without their consent. and
relying on this clause in their fran.
ehise, the Salem Water, Light & Power
company is standing on their legal
rights.
Owing to the progress of the city. it
was thought advisable to amend the
franchise, but as long as corporations
holding them rely strictly on their legal
nights, they can tear up the pavement
at will.
Many cities which ure not so liberal
with their franchises, do not permit the
tearing up of its streets, but compel
companies to lay mains and conduits
before street paving is laid down.
Practically all old franchises tie up the
city, legally.
The present franchise was granted
to the Salem Water company April Is
1891, and signed by the mayor the fol
lowing dav.
The Salem Water company is basing
its protest on the following clause
which is found in all their franchises:
This ordinance shall not be altered
amended or repealed without the con.
sent of the said Salem Water company
except by the violation by them of any
OF the provisions of this ordinance. J"

Washington, July 30.-Oficials OF
the Department Of Agriculture charged
with the enforcement of the FooH
and Drugs Act expect that the out
break of infantile paralysis will temps
unscrupulous persons to offer for sale
so-called cures or remedies for this
dread malady. TheE therefore, nave
issued special instructions to the fooo
and Drug inspectors to be particularly
alert for interstate shipments or I'M
portations of medicines, the makers OF
which allege that they will cure or al
leviate this disease, for which, at the
present time, no medicinal cure Is
known. The officials also warn the
public tina. any preparation put on the
market and offered for sale as beins
effective for the treatment of infantile
paralysis should be looked upon WIN
extreme suspicion. Inspectors, ACCORD
ineIv. have been instructed to regard
as suspicious, and to collect samples
Of, all medicines in interstate COM
n,erce for which suc;i claims are made
Makers of such fraudulent remedies
will be vigorously pro secuted wheneVe:
tie evidence warrants action under IT,"
Sherley Amendment to the Food anH
Erugs Act. So-cal,2d remedies for in
fantile paralysis which are offered for
import into the country will be denied
entry.
The Food and Drugs officials al"
particularly watchful in this instan g
because it has been noted in the past
that whenever a serious epidemic ey-
lists, INSCRIPTIONS dealers prey upon
the fear or ignorance Of the public by
flooding the market with worthless,
hastily prepared connections, for which
they assert curative properties whicA
have no foundation whatever in fact
Ir the present instance, inspectors al
ready have discovered shipments of a
few such mixtures.
The Department will do everything
it can under Federal law to protec,
that portion CT the public which is eX
tremely credulous in times Of panic
and which will grasp at anything
which promises protection or relief
The sale of such products at this time
the officials point cut, is particularly
threatening to the public health be-
cause many persons, relying on the
false statements Of lmpostors, neglect

AS a result not only is the safety of
the patient endangered. but in the alb
sence Of proper sanitary precautions

CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR


Fruit for use in pie or salads or as
stewed fruit can be put up or canned
without the use of any sugar at all, ac-
cording to the canning specialists of
the Department. They, therefore, ad-
wise those who, because of the high
price Of sugar, have been thinking of
reducing the amount Of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead Of the hot strip. The
use of sugar, of course, is desirable in
the canning of all kinds Of fruits and
makes better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover, most of the fruits
when canned in water alone do not re-
tain their natural flavor, texture and
color as we'll as fruit put up in sirup
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.

clean. Pack the product thoroughly in
glass jars or tin cans until they are
full; use the handle of a tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
ing purposes. Pour over the fruit boil
ing water from kettle, place rubbers

using glass Jars, seal completely if US
ing tin cans. Place the containers in a
sterilzing vat such as a wash boiler
with false bottom, or other receptacle
improvised for the purpose. If using a

minutes; count time after the water
has reached the boiling point; the
water must cover the highest jar in
container After steriliZing remove
packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to
prevent bleaching and store in a dry,
cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the cans
quickly into cold water Immediately
after sterilization. When using a

hot water bath, sterilize for 10 min
utes with five pounds Of steam press
ure. Never allow the pressure to go
over 10 pounds.

GERMAN idea
OF EATING WOOD
old FOR maine
Choice Cuts of Tenderloin Off
the Hemlock or a Cedar Outlet
with a Side Order of Sawdust
Sausage May Be Available

Bangor, July 31.-Maine is greatly
interested in the news from Berlin that
the Germans have taken to mixing
wood pulp with flour in the making of
bread, for Maine produces millions of
tons Of pulp and has vast stores of the
best Of pulp material yet untouched by
the lumberman's axe.
This idea Of eating wood is nothing
so very new, at that. Maine boys long
have known the edible delights of pine
slivers, starving loggers have subsisted
for days on roots when lost in the
woods, people who chew spruce gum
eat lot of bark with it, any Yankee
relishes toothpicks cut from a bit of
pumpkin vine, children consume vast
quantities of ivory leaves" which are
the next thing to wood, and the local
sausage makers are accused of using
fine sawdust instead Of corn meal.
If, however. the finely ground, milky
mass of wood pulp Made from spruce
and poplar, is to be recognized as an
article of diet at once the DOGGY of
costly living will disappear from
Names book Of problems.
Among the cities, Bangor in partic-
ular will be happy under those cir
cumstances, for Bangor is a great
lumber town-not so great as once she
was, but still great enough to live on
the fat of the forest at practically no
expense whatever. Then the small boy
Of the family can stroll down to the
river bank and in a moment snatch
from the Penobscot tenderIoin of
spruce or a outlet of pine or cedar
maybe fancy brisket of hemlock-and
take the family dinner home under his
arm.
Families isolated In the country by
floods or by snow drifts might eat the
furniture. Marooned or castaway
sailors might eat bits of wreckage, and
those upon waterlogged vessels could
then feast upon few planks from the
cargo.
1t is a bright and a broad ray Of
hope that the German idea casts into
the forest shades and the despairing
hearts of Maine. Many, however, are
sceptical Of the fruition Of the forest
food idea. They class it with 2-cent
gasoline and universal peace.
