forgotten even TO THINK.
It is fifty cents here, a dollar
there, or two or five, small in the
individual account but enormous in
the aggregate. If all of these
accounts were collected together
and one man became responsible
for the combined sum he would
never forget to give it consideration,
regardless of the extent of his
wealth. 1t would be too importnt
to overlook, too vital to forget.
We could name a merchant in this
town who has thousands of dollars
on his books in insignificant
amounts. The people who owe him
these sums are not deadbeats, for
they are among our best class of
substantial citizens. He is not wor-
rying over eventually getting the
money because he knows from long
experience with these same people
that his accounts are as good as
gold-with one exception. The
gold in hand would enable him to
increase the size of his stock and
sell more goods and thereby earn
greater dividends on his investment.
But wholesalers and manufacturers
require their money on the dot,
and hundred or a thousand small
accounts due the merchant are
not considered in the light Of an
asset by the men from whom he
buys his goods. If each Of the
men who owe these small accounts
would take the trouble to think
/ they would rush in one great
throng to that store and pay up
those small bills, and the merchant
would then be in position to do
even better by them in the future.
But they forget to think, and their
money remains in bank and they
continue to drawn interest on it
while the merchant patiently waits
for his due.
Even this newspaper is not inn
mune from the evils of forgetting to
think. In fact, we are inclined to
the belief that we are in even more
unenviafle position in this respect
than any merchant in this city.
To speak candidly, we are proud
of the names we have on our sub
scription list, for they represent the
intelligence and the integrity of this
whole community.
But even men of the highest m
telligence and the most rigid integ-
rity can forget to think. They are
forgetting to think in our own case.
If these same good and loyal
citizens could take one glance at
our books they would be appalled, at
the amount of money that is due
US on subscription to this paper.
They are small accounts individ-
ually, ranging from so cents to 50
or SO, marked up against men and
women whose are as good as their
bonds.
But we can not pay our own bills
with the honor and the integrity
of our subscribers. We put up the
cash.
Right now we have a splendid
opportunity to invest some money
in our business that would yield us
handsome returns. But we are ham
dicapped because our subscribers
forget TO think. We can not make

ABOUT FALL CANNING ARTS.

The Value Of Accuracy instead Of

Sterilization and Hsrmstie Sealing
Suggestions About Vegetables.
First.-Fresh fruits and vegetables
are first choice, If available. II not.
canned goods, homemade or CONNER
cial, are a ver1table godsend-whole-
some, convenient and economical.
Second.-Canning means sterilization
(killing bacteria and spore by heat, and
Theoretically sealing 80 that no In.
vaders can enter the CAM. Nobody
needs a canning powder. They are al
ways dangerous and useless.
Third.-There Is little II any more
danger Of illness from canned goods
| than from fresh. Sterilization is a
highly perfected process, and nearly all
spoilage makes itself known to sight
and taste and smell. The most care
must be exercised with milk and meat
and fish.
Fourth.-Throw away a can that is
''swelled" or leaky. This may mean
insufficient sterilization or gas forma-
ton, and no chances should be taken,
though sometimes it means only over
filing. b,
Efth.-Use a thermometer. Don't
guess. Womanly intuition and the rule
of. thumb would produce eff
cheney in a cannery, and they won't do
it in the home kitchen.
Sixth.-Sulphites and saccharine in
canned corn. copper sulphate for green
ing peas, boracic and salicylic acids for
easier and surer preserving are all
evils of a dead and buried past. The
only canned goods chemically preserv-
ed to be found nowadays are those put
up on the farms and in small towns.
where the peddler of the preserving
powders misleads the unsuspecting
home Gamer into using his anonymous
wares.
Seventh.-A can Of corn tw%enty-seven
years old recently was critically ex-
amined by a food commissioner and
pronounced to be "good eating" A
product that was inferior before going
into the can may at one year of age be
q poorer product than its elder brother.
However, age is not to be desired in
canned foods. and they should not be
carried over several seasons. The
amount of tin dissolved increases on
standing, condensed milks "lump" and
excuses Of heat or cold injure quality.
