A good friend stands by you when

Doan's over three years ago and

Mrs. H. A. Creighton, 142 Sixth

ney Pills have been used with excel
lent results in our family and l don't
hesitate to endorse them. l have
noted their good effects for trouble
with the back and kidney weakness
and don't think they have an equal.

On March Is, 1916, Mrs. Creighton

Normal Property

Washington County News-Times
(Forest Grove): In passing through
Ashland while attending the State
Editorial Association, the attention
of the newspaper men was directed
to the buildings and beautiful
grounds of the old normal school at
that place. 1t has been Ashland's
ambition for long time to have that
institution re-established. That Ash
land would make an ideal place for
such an institution goes without
question. Ben Sheldon of Medford,
the man who was responsible for the
conventions going to southern Ore
gon, and who had charge of its en-
tertainment, is looked upon as one
of the spokesmen for the people of
Ashland and the southern part of
the state, who are anxious to see the
normal at Ashland reopened. Shell

don campaigned the state for that
school two years ago. Incidental to
this We wish to remark that one of
the best things ever done for the
cause of Ashland's normal was the
bringing of the editors of the state
to Jackson county. Both the magnif-
icent entertainment provided by
Sheldon and his assistants and the
culture, public spirit, love of the
beautiful-in fact, every element 60
ing to make up fine little city of
good homes and good schools, evil
denced by the people of Ashland,
left an impression on the large and
representative group of Oregon edit
ors assembled there which will not
soon be forgotten and will undoubt-
edly be reflected in their attitude to-
ward any effort to place her normal
school on its feet again.

packing purposes. Pour over the
fruit boiling water from kettle,
place rubbers and caps in position,
partially seal If using glass jars, seal
completely If using tin cans. Place
the containers in sterilizing vat,
such as a washboiler with false bot
tom, or other receptacle improvised
for the purpose. In using a hot
water bath outfit, process for thirty
minutes; count time after the water
has reached the boiling point; the
water must cover the highest Jar in
container. After sterilizing remove
pack, seal glass jars, wrap in paper
to prevent bleaching, and store in a
dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilization. When
using a steam pressure Gamer in
stead of the hot-water bath, sterilize
for ten minutes with five pounds Of
steam pressure. Never allow the
pressure to go over ten pounds.

earns any, which 1t is expected to do.
In other words, instead Of paying
a per cent commission for a loan,
as some now do, the borrower will
pay the same sum for stock which
will probably earn dividends for him,
and which he will get back when he
pays off his debt.
The mortgage is not allowed to
draw a higher rate of interest than
the legal rate of the locality. 1t will
draw as low rate as VIII be proven
possible by the sale of the land bonds.
If investors and savers think so well
of the land bonds that they are will
ing to buy them on basis of 4 per
cent, the mortgage will not draw
over 5. They may not draw as much
as l per cent above the land bond
rate. That depends on experience.
Anyhow, the farmer will get his mon
ey at actual cost to the great system
of banks handling the business.
He can not borrow over $4,000.
If he wants more than that he will
have to borrow in some other way.
This federal farm loan act provides
for federal joint-stock banks, which
can also issue land bonds under gov
ernment auspices.
1t is thought by some that these
banks will be organized promptly and
so rapidly that they will cover the
field and prevent the organization of
very many Of the cooperative organ
izations of borrowers which l have
described. If so, perhaps 1t will be
because the American farmer likes
to deal with private banks rather
than to organize comparatively. If
this proves true, the farmers will
have themselves to blame.
1t is also among the possibilities
that the private joint-stock banks,
organized under this new law, will be
able to furnish money as cheaply as
cooperative associations can do, and
thus save the trouble, slight as it is,
and the small investment in stock.
After five years any mortgagor
under this system may pay his loan
off whole or in part. But loans un-
der this system either through CO.

operative association or a joint-stock
bank, are made on the basis Of pay
ing little of the principal whenever
the interest is paid. Thus these loans
will be extinguished, principal and
interest is from twenty to thirty-six
years by paying little, if any, more
than what mere interest amounts to
on ordinary loans. This is called
amortization, and offers the easiest
known way for the gradual payment
of loans.

Says to Can Fruit
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 spec
ialists of the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture. They, therefore, advise
those who, because of the high price
of sugar, have been thinking of re-
ducing the amount Of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus
as possible by the use of boiling wa
ter when sugar syrup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained
in the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot syrup. The
use of sugar, of course, is desirable
in the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes better and ready sweet
ened product. Moreover, most of the
fruit when canned in water alone
does not retain its natural flavor, tex
ture and color as well as fruit put up
in syrup. Fruit canned without SUI
gar to be used for sauces or desserts
must be sweetened.
Canning Fruit Without Syrup.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in strainer
and pouring water over it until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
in glass jars or tin cans until they
are full; use the handle of table,
spoon, wooden ladle or tableknife for

How He Made the Trip.
II was while studying at the Uni

own funds in getting to Cape Town,
taking a third-class passage, and ar

800 in his pocket.
Funds were necessary II the remain
der of the journey was to be made,
So Mr.. Cox went TO the Kimberley dia
mond mines, where, under an Ameri
can mine superintendent, he worked
as boss of a gang of black diamond
diggers for a year.
In his tramp through the heart Oh

EurnishIna Small Rooms.

In furnishing a small room two nee,
essary points must be considered:
First, that space is gained by making
things as fat as possible against the
wall; and, second, that stiffness is
prevented then by introducing a plant
or two, if the room is a living room
or a dining room. and breaking the
lines of the furniture by pulling out
a table a little or turning a chair.

be upholstered. and have only an oc-

selected pillow. Low book shelves,
too, built against the wall. furnish
without furniture, but care must be
taken that they are not extended In

creases the effect of space.

Cox, by threats, compelled them to

Malaria and Tsetse Fly.
For more than four hundred miles
Mr.. Cox Travelled while in the grip OF
malarial fever. Such a feat, to the
average person, seems incredible. The
fever, however, is intermittent, and
does not waste the sufferers strength
rapidly. First-elass physical condition
to begin with, the character of the fe-
yer, and the fact that during this time
most Of his travelling was done at
night, enabled Mr.. Cox to cover the
400 miles.
Part of this journey was through
the belt infested by the dreaded tsetse,
the fly that causes the African sleep
ing sickness, and from the bite of
which there is no recovery. Leagues
and leagues of the country in this in
tested zone; Mr.. Cox said, was desert
ed by all domestic animals. No ma
tives could or would live there, and it
was only by the use of threats and
promises of extraordinary rewards
that his own bearers were induced to
traverse the tsetse belt.

CARE IN TABLE DECORATION

A few flowers are in good taste and

art.
Decorations should always add
beauty to the article which they deco

in the dining room. A small fern is
appropriate. The flowers are Of less
Importance than the food, the dishes
and the silver. One or two flowers are

Their tops should not be higher

Persons seated for the dinner should
not have to play peek-a-boo around a
tall vase of flowers"

Woman Who Lives In Apartment Can

Many a woman living in a two-room-
and-bath apartment and taking her
meals in an adjoining public dining
room yearns at times for something
homemade" and delicious; chocolate
layer cake, for instanceb or scalloped
oysters, or old-fashioned molasses
cake, or soda biscuit, tender and pip
ing hot, and made rich with a little
shortening. One woman condemned

urious hotel apartment most OF the
year. satisfies her housewifely in
stincts by getting sunday-night tea in
her W apartment by aid of a chatting
dish, a coffee %percolator and a ne
burner gas stove with a little oven
about as big as a baby's hatbox.
1t is surprising how many delectable
things can be baked in this absurd lit
tie oven. Out of It come small layer
cakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome
little drop cakes, small pans Of piping
hot Sally Lunn and rich gingerbread
for the Sunday nj hit supper. The lit
tie oven bakes only a small quantity
enough biscuit for four persons, twice
around, and layer cake which makes
six good-sized slices; but the Sunday
night opportunities to have a taste of
real home cooking are much appreci-
ated by privileged guests who also
dwell in boarding places.
No woman with fastidious taste
and thought for her neighbors-would
venture to cook steak or fry potatoes

cooking are not supposed to permeate;
