Preserving Foods.

a new method has been discovered,
says an English paper, for preserving
various food products, especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance in q sealed yes-
sci or packing case with inert gas. so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling Of contents by the action of
the air. In the French patented pro-
cess tac milk powder is packed in
metal boxes Of convenient size. which
are entirely sealed except for a PIN
hole that is left at the top. A number
Of such boxes are put In a chamber
and the air is exhausted by means of
an air pump. When this operation is
finished valves are opened which allow
nitrogen TO enter the chamber and fill
up the several boxes. When opening
up the chamber the boxes are quickly
removed and the pinhole soldered he
fore an appreciate amount Of air has
time to enter. In this way the con-
tents Of the boxes are kept In an at
mosphere of inert gas. and the process
Is thus practical from an industrial
standpoint.

WILL oRPET TAKES STAND.
Declares That Bottle He Had Con-
tanned Molasses and Water.

Waukegan, H., June 2S.-William
Orpet on Monday told his long-awaited
story of the peculiar circumstances of
the tragic death of Marian Lambert
the elimination of their puppy love"
In their rambling walk through
H'enn's woods on the morning of Feb
ruary Marian talked almost exclu-
sively of her alleged delicate conji-
ton, Orpet said. He had brought with
him, he said, a large bottle contain
ing a mixture of molasses and water.
1t would do her no harm and no good,
except what possible solace it might
be TO her mental condition. She re-
fused to drink of it and he threw 1t
away in his panicky flight after she
died. The bottle was found rs Ken
meth B. Hawkins and III. G. Carlin. Ii
was produced in court By Mr.. Hawk
ms. 1t is the defense's reply to the
states contention that Orpet brought
cyanide of potassium to Helms woods
and induced Marian to take it under
the pretense that it was medicine
which would relieve her.

ADVISED BY COL. ROOSEVELT
Action Follows Day of WraneIlng--
Six Members of Body Refused to
Approve Move-Debate Lasts
Seven Hours.

Chicago, June 2S.-After day of
wrangling the Progressive national
committee voted on Monday to ihdorse
Charles Evans Hughes for president.
Thirty-two members of the commit
tee supported the Endorsement resolu-
ton offered by James r. Garfield of
Ohio. Six voted against it and nine
declined to vote.
The action which was taken in ac-
cordanee with the wishes of Theodore
Roosevelt. as expressed in letter to
the committee. marked the demise of
the Progressive party.
While the national executive COM
mittee was instructed TO cooperate in
the Hughes campaign it was admitted
the full national committee never
would have another meeting.
The resolution as finally adopted
after seven hours Of debate was as
follows:
Whereas, The statement issued by
this committee in January and he
platform adopted by the Progressive
national convention set forth that put
ting aside all partisan considerations
in view of existing world and national
conditions we would work with any
man or party who saw the nations
need and put forth leader fit to meet
il and
Whereas, We believe with Colonel
Roosevelt that in nominating Charles
+. Hughes of New York the Republic
an party has put forth such leader.
we indorse and concur in the recon-
Inendation of Colonel Roosevelt that
we support Mr.. Hughes"
The various states and territories
through the committeeman lined up as
follows ON the resolution:
Yeas-Alabama, Arizona. Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Dis
trict of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine,

North Carolina, Rhode Island, Utah
Total-6.
Declining to vote-Florida, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Mis-
souri,, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Washington. West virginia-Total 8.
The opponents of the proposal TO in
dorse Hughes put up stubborn fight.
Leaders ON this side were Matthew
Hale of Massachusetts. who presided
as vice chairman of the committee in
the absence of Victor Murdoch, the
chairman; Bainridge Colby of New
York, who held the proxy of the COM
mitteeman from Florida; John N. Par
ker of Louisiana, who was nominated
for vice president by the PrOgressives
three weeks ago, and Henry Cochems
of Wisconsin.
Mr.. Garfield was the floor leader for
the Hughes forces, George w. Perkins
of New York and Chester IL. Rowell of
California also urged the Endorsement
of Hughes.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt's message
to the Progressive national committee
was read at a meeting of that body
here. AS was expected, it is declinl
ton of the nomination for the presi-
dency and an earnest appeal TO the
PrOgressives to support the candidacy
of Mr.. Hughes.

investigate the Onion.

The homely onion has been the sub
feet of an inquiry by a British COM
mittee whose duty 1t was to go into
the matter of its high cost. The re-
port Of the committee reveals the fact
that the present high rate Of the onion
is due to the stoppage OF import from
Holland and Belgium and to the dimin-
ished import from Egypt and Spain.
II is pointed out that onions can be
grown in England, and to woman gar
deners of even quite amateur expert
ence the contemplative cult of the
onion is to be recommended as real
and useful war work.
