Canning Without Sugar.

Fruit for use in pies 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
the agricultural department. They,
therefore, advise 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 be-
yond their means. Any fruit. they
say, may be successfully sterilized and
retained in the pack by simply1 adding
boiling water instead of the hot syrup.
The use of sugar, of course, is desir-
able in the canning of all kinds of
fruit 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 to be used sauces OF
desserts must be sweetene

TAKE TO THE AUT0'
Farmers Quick to Appreciate inc
Value OF the HorSeIess
Machine.
TAKE LARGE PART OF OUTPUT
II Has Eeen Estimated That Fully
Sixty-Five Per Cent Of the Total
Production Is Disposed Of
in the Agricultural
Districts.

The automobile has superseded the
horse as the farmers best friend.
This is evidenced by the ever-in-
creasing number OF cars sold in the
rural districts.
Manufacturers OF medium.priced
motor cars are finding ready mar
ket for their product in the vast
farming sections of the country, and
the purchasing power of these men
of the soil is one OF the big factors
in the automobile business.
Officials of one of the foremost COM
panies declare that fully IS per cent
OF this enormous output will be sold
TO the farmers.
In the fields, with harrow or
pillow, the horse still holds his own
against the invasion OF the big trac-
tors" says the president of the COM
pany. But as a means OF transporta-
tion he is quickly giving way to the
quicker and more upto-date service OF
the motor car"
The transition from horse to au-
tomobile is patent to all who have
attended the county fairs or any 9TH
er centers where farmers congregate.
Not so many years ago the appearance
OF a motor car at one OF these meet
ings was the signal for all hands to
gather round IN wonder II is safe
to say that few OF those present
would have traded little horse or
buggy for two Of the horseless car
riages.
But today just the opposite is
true. The parking spaces that were
once filed with horses, buggies and
wagons are now crowded with auto
mobiles"

NOVEL MOTIVE POWER
RECENT INVENTION IS FULL OF
PROMISE,
Makes II Possible to Employ Simple
Motors Of Light Weight to the
Ordinary Car.

Charles E. Duryea of Philadelphia
has patented a motor vehicle driven by
friction gearing applied almost to the
rim OF the wheel. The motor drives a
grooved friction roller which engages
a grooved ring inside the wheel, and
when reversed it engages another sim
liar ring still nearer the periphery.
This method OF transmitting motive
power makes it possible to provide
relatively simple motors of light
weight and reduced manufacturing
cost. The motor is two-cycle engine,
air cooled and specially designed for

The sick room, above all else, is the
place for cheerfulness. A peaceful

sick persons are often kept in bed
longer than necessary by discourag-

visitors to the sick room.

to stay too long when visiting a sick

Early Auto Development.

The most important early labors on
the motor vehicle were those o. an
Englishman, Walter Hancock, who
worked from 1924 to 1886 on expert
ments TO develop steam vehicles. With
the disappearance of these in 1886 the
continued effort of developing the au-
tomobile practically ceased until 1884,
although what may be called sec
end period" Of development came
about 1850. The modern period began
in 1884 with Gottlieb Daimler's g.- en-
CINE; other important steps were
those taken by Carl Benz in 1856 and
