Preserving Cut Flowers
By Hop"

"I should like to ask a little favor of the Cornerites if I may take the lib- erty. Can any of them tell me of a method of preserving freshly cut flowers, especially roses, by crystallzing them or pouring something over them to keep them in their natural state shall cer- tainly appreciate it if your readers can give me the desired information. If you wish to have fresh fruits at Christmas time or during the winter get several pumpkins, cut them through the center lengthwise, and remove the seeds, but not the pulp. Now put in the fruit you desire to keep-peaches, grapes, berries, etc. Fit the halves together again ;nd seal with paraffin. Have it ready melted to apply with a brush. Be sure you get enough of the wax on to seal the halves,
 making them airtight. I should also like to write letters of cheer to any of the shut-ins or lonely ones I should be pleased to see this letter in print as soon as possible. EMILY W.
 There are methods of preserving flowers in apparent freshness and bloom. Per- haps our readers may be able to tellshow this may be done by the amateur. My impression is that it is a trade secret
 but we have all seen the results. Your suggestion respecting the preservation of fresh fruits is truly astonishing. Do not they imbibe the flavor of the pumpkin :? And may I ask if you have made trial personally of the amazing expedient you describe so well? Write to us further upon the subject answering these queries and initiating us more fully into the pro- cess. Truly, of making experiments in the gastronomic and floral field there is no end! But this is one of the oldest that has come our way.

Sour Beef and Sour Rabbit

My husband likes your Dutch dishes, as he calls them.
 Sour beef: Get beef from the shoul- der with as little fat or bone as pos- sible; pack in crock and cover with vine- gar. Put in an onion, sliced; bay leaf and whole cloves, salt and pepper. Let it stand in cool place for three or four days before using, but it will Keep a week or two. Cover with a plate, that no dust or flies can get into it. When you get ready to use it, put one table spoon of butter and one or two Of lara in an iron vessel, and when hot lay m the meat, browning it nicely on both sides When brown pour in enough wa ter to cover it, and let 1t boi Tor TWO hours and 8 half. If the water boiis on' add a little more. When the meat IS tender brown half a cup Of Hour as dark as possible without burning 1t, ana use it for thickening in the gravy. Should it not be sour enough, add little of the brine when all is done. Put two teaspoons of sugar in to take the strong vinegar and Drowned flour taste away. It is now ready to serve
 Sour rabbit: Clean, and lay in strons salt water over night to take the plood out Then pickle the same as the beef, adding a few slices or lemon. Cooh sne same as the beef Rabbit takes but one hour to cook If cooked too long IL will fall to pieces. Vinegar for picking meat should always be fresh. If rabpit is cooked this way. 1t will taste just hke the hassenpfeffer you buy, but you must brown your flour as dark as possiDie and not allow it to burn. B. M. q.

It will be sent in probably by somebody who saved it.. Meanwhile, here is a recipe that may fill the bill:'' Five eggs, the white and yolks beaten separately; one cup of but ter, creamed with two of sugar; one cup of sweet milk, one cup of cornstarch, two even cups of sifted flour in which has been sifted twice an even teaspoon of baking powder, vanilla favoring to taste.

Amazing War Feature.

The prodical expenditure of shells
is one of the amazing features of the
European war.
The first three weeks of the battle
of the Somme, British gunners rain
ed upon the enemy 100000 shells a
day, or 100000 projectiles in 20
days. Drill Chips, magazine of the
Cleveland Twist Drill Company,
gives 200, 900 as the number of shells
daily required by a respectable ar
tillery force in action.
We talk about 100000 men
springing to the country's defense
between sunrise and sunset. Vision
airy as this is, we overlook the fact
that every million soldiers in the
field, as the American Machinist
points out, calls for 100000 train
ed workers, sweating in the factories
for the support of the army.

Waste Tanbark Now Used To
Make ROOfin2.

Washington, Oct. IA method
for using waste hemlock to partially
replace expensive rag stock in the
manufacture of felt roofing has been
developed at the Forest Products Lab
oratory and is now being used COM
mercially by cooperating mills, &C
cording to an announcement made
by the Forest Service. 1t is stated
that, in these mills, from 20 to 80
per cent of the rags is replaced by
waste bark and that the quality of
the finished product is equal to that
manufactured solely from rags.
Members of the Forest Service who
have been conducting the experiments
say that the utilization of the bark
will make it possible to effect con-
siderable saving in the manufacture
of felt roofing
According to the census of 1909,
over $685. 600 tons of hemlock bark
were produced each year in the Unit
ed States. After the tannin is ex-
tracted this bark is used for fuel pur-
poses, for which it is said to have a
value of 60 cents per ton.
The extent of the savings rendered
possible by the methods is pointed
out by the fact that the roofing mills
of the United States have total esti-
mated annual production of 237 900
tons of finished roofing of all kinds,
equal to about II, 100000 squares.
By square of roofing is meant 100
square feet. The utilization of the
waste bark in this industry should,
it is said, enable the mills to reduce
their manufacturing costs.
In addition to the use of the bark
for roofing, papers made at the For
est Products Laboratory on the basis
of so per cent Of waste tanbark, have
been successfully printed on a COM
mercial twelve-color wallpaper print
ing machine, and give promise of be-
ing entirely satisfactory. Other paper
of the same makeup has been made
into fiber conduits by a commercial
manufacturer.
Other possible uses of waste bark
which suggest themselves, say the
Forest Service paper experts, arc the
use of bark mixed with ground wood
for the production of wall board, or
with sulphite screenings in the man
ufacture of car liners. Studies already
made at the Forest Products Labora-
tory indicate that it may be possible
to use waste hemlock and oak tan
bark in making sheathing paper, car
pet liners, bottle wrappers, deaden-
ing felt, and the like.

Read This From Georgia.

Mr.. Richard II. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufactures Record of Baltimore, re-
ceived the following telegram, dated Oct.
5, 1916, from the same well-thought-ot
Mr.. White quoted so conspicuously in the
liquor crowd adv. appearing recently:
my attention has just been called
to certain kilograms received by prom
inent Atlanta citizens apprising them
of the fact that whisky interests
in Baltimore are using as advertising
matter an excerpt from an article
entitled "A Remarkable Municipal
Fight In Georgia appearing in Les
lies of September 2lst, as an argu-
ment against prohibition.
"As author of the article in question
desire to emphatically protest a
gainst any such misuse of it, any such
distortion of its contents and miscon-
struction of my motives. For any in
terest seeking argument for an in
stitution for which there is no argu-
ment to lift out only sentence of an
article such as this is not fair.
PERSONALLY | am from sole to crown
Prohibitionist and have observed
that in Atlanta and George Prohibi-
ton has worked wonders for the pub
lie good Conditions in Atlanta de-
scribed in this article are due solely,
to the best of my light, to political
Vaccinations and official mismanage-
ment, and existed to as great extent
as now before George went dry
last May. In no wise are they due
to prohibition law enforcement and
my article did not say nor infer so.

What Judge Dayton Says:

The Hon. Aston G. Dayton, judge of
the United States District Court for the
Northern District of West Virginia says:
THAT prohibition of the liquor traffic
in West Virginia is being effectively en-
forced cannot be questioned. That it has
reduced the States liquor bill from an
annual sum of more than SIS, 900, 900. 90
to less than $500, 900. 90 is clear. That it
has reduced criminal charges generally
at least 10 per cent, and arrests and fines
for drunkenness and disorderly conduct
fully rs per cent in the two years it has
been in force in the State cannot be
questioned. "

DROP" He said he spent six weeks in
Kansas and did not see drunken man.
or a man who looked like he ever had Ia
ken drink.
He then took up the situation in West
Virginia and dealt with it from business,
labor and taxation viewpoint. He said
8, 900, 900 more tons of coal were mined
in that State during the first dry year
than the previous wet year. Miners, he
declared, were now carrying home food,
clothing and even Injuries, where form
erly they went home drunk. Sixteen
thousand more arrests were made during
the last year liquor was sold than the
first twelve months under prohibition.
In a trip through the State during
the last wet year he counted and
took note of eight hundred and
eighteen men that were drunk. He
went over the same territory during
the first dry year and saw but one
intoxicated man. Criminal expenses
have been reduced sixty per cent.
he said under prohibition. In Graft.
on, his home town, twelve regular
policemen assisted at times by extra
policemen were regularly employed
to keep the peace. Since the State
has gone dry but two policemen are
employed.
