CARRANZA ENVOY IS
IN LAND OF NIPPON

TOXIC, July 29-Colonel Manuel
Romero, formerly special commission
ed of the late President Huerta Of
Mexico to Japan and now a represent
tatiye of the Carranza government
here, arrived in Japan about the first
.of June announcing that he possessed
credentials which made him minister
to the Toxic government. He has not
yet been presented to Emperor Yoshi-
hito and until he has the Japanese
government will consider Mr.. Teller,
the charge d'affaires as the official rep
resentative of the de facto Carranza
government.
Mexico is powerful enough to deal
with her own affairs at present." Mr..
Romero was quoted as saying in the
Japanese press when he landed. He
went on: Everything in Mexico just
now is in perfect order or is rapidly
assuming that condition. Commerce,
Industry, agriculture, communications,
ard enterprises of many other kinds
are all in a normal condition. Reports
to the contrary are absolutely I'M
founded.
General Carranza's government
stands on a firm foundation and has
the confidence of the people No man
Is more able or better fitted than Gen
oral Carranza to govern Mexico. Gen
eral Carranza's government has ample
revenues to meet all necessary out
lays.
Relations between Mexico and
other countries will become more cor
dial. The Mexican government is on
the most friendly terms with the
United States government. General
Carranza has an army strong enough
to subjugate the rebels or bandits. This
is the reason General Carranza is now
requesting an early withdrawal of
tie United States troops from Mexi-
can territory"

Canning Specialists Say No
Sugar Needed For The Fruit

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 29--
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,
according to the canning specialists Of
tile 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 syrup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained il
the pack by simply adding boiling wa
ter instead of the hot syrup. The use
OF sugar, of course, is desirable in the
canning of all kinds of fruits and
makes a better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover, most OF the fruits
when canned in water alone do not
retain their natural flavor, texture and
color as we'll as fruit put UP in
syrup. Fruit canned without sugar 10
be used for sauces or desserts must
be sweetened.
Directions for canning fruits with
cut syrup, given out by experts of the
department, follow:
Can the product the, asme day it is
picked Gull, stem, or seed and clean
the fruit by placing it in strainer
ard pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly it
glass jars or tin cans until they are
full; use the handle of tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
irg purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from a kettle, place rub
hers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal COM
pletely if using tin cans. Place the
containers in a sterilizing vat such as a
wash boiler with false bottom or other
receptacle improvised for the purpose.
II using hot water bath outfit, pro-
cess for 80 minutes; count time after
the water has reached the boiling
point; the water must cover the high

GOVERNMENT TAKES
OVER FRENCH SHOWS

PARIS, July 29-The censor has
taken in hand the repertory of French
theatrical companies playing abroad
since a piece given by a French com
pany was Kissed in Madrid the other
day. The government considers that
the good renown of the country re-
quires that, when its artists max
foreign tours, their programs repre-
sent what is best, instead of what is
worst in French dramatic art. All
impersarios sending theatrical compa-
MES out of the country are now oblig-
ed to submit the pieces they intend to
play to the censor before passports
are given to the company.
A gradual return to the extreme
freedom which prevailed at times be-
fore the war in the designing of post
ers has also been checked by the pre-
feet of police. He has issued an ordi-
nance requiring that, after July /, no
posters for advertisements can be
posted on the walls Of Paris unless the
text and designs have been approved
by his Office.
