HOUSEWIVES MAY CAN
FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR
Department of Agriculture Special
lists Tell How Process Can Be
Made Satisfactory.

housewives who intended to reduce
the amount of canning done this sea-
son by reason Of the high cost OF
sugar may abandon that project and
put up as much as they wish," Is the
statement issued by the canning spe-
cialists at the Department of Agri-
culture today.
This can be made possible by the
use of boiling water when sugar sirup
is beyond ones means. Any fruit"
they say, may be successfully steril-
ized and retained in the pack by simply
adding boiling water instead of the
hot sirup. Most fruits canned alone
in water do not retain their flavor. tex
ture and color as do those canned in
sugar and must be sweetened when
used for sauces or desserts.
"In order to can without sugar the
product must be canned on the same
day that it Is picked. It should be
prepared for canning in the ordinary
way. Then the containers should be
placed in a sterilizing vat such as a
wash boiler with a false bottom, and
completely covered with boiling water.
The sterilization process may extend
from 10 to 80 minutes, according to
the process used. After sterilization
the packs should be removed, the glass
jars sealed and wrapped in paper to
prevent bleaching and stored in a dry,
cool place"

Firm Wins Case Against Washing
ton and Old Dominion.

Reparation was ordered to be made
by the Washington and Old Dominion
railway in the case brought against
it by John B. A. Kern & Sons before
the interstate commerce commission.
according to announcement made by
the commission today. The case was
submitted November "a. 1915. The
railway is ordered to pay 1888 with
interest of per cent per year from
May 21. 1915.
The case was based on 1.-The refusal
OF the Washington and Old Dominion
railway to permit the reconsignment
Of a mixed carload of -four and wheat
shipped from Milwaukee, Wis. to
Vienna, Va. and from Vienna to Lees
burg. Va. at the, through rate from
Milwaukee to Leesburg plus a charge
of IS for the services incident to the
reconsignment, where the contents of
the car remained unchanged, where no
out of line haul was required and
where the request for reconsignment
was received within a reasonable time
after the arrival of the car at Vienna"
The commission held that the refusal
of the company to do this was "unlaw-
full and unreasonable"

THIRD REGIMENT NEEDS
MORE "PAPOOSE PACKS'
Many Of the Men Will Not Have
Them When They Leave
for the Border.

When the Sd Infantry leaves Camp Ord
way for its destination in Bisbee. Ariz.
not all Of the men will carry the new in
fantry packs, otherwise known as the
"papoose" packs, because Of their re-
semblance to the Indian papoose. There
will not be enough to go around.
Most Of the troops at Camp Ord
way now have these packs, they having
been issued to them some weeks ago.
Requisition was made for more Of them.
but the mastering officer was informed
that there were no more available.
Many Of the troops already in the serv-
ice and those who enlist from now on
will have to take the old blanket rolls
for service in the field.
1t is understood that there is a great
shortage in the army storehouses of this
equipment, and the new packs were sent
out to the organizations for the purpose
of filling up the war-strength companies,
it being necessary to have a great num-
Der of troops carry the old and obsolete
blanket roll.
The new pack is great Improvement,
1t serving to keep the sun off the SOL
dier's back. and at the same time allow
ing freedom for the chest, whereas the
old blanket roll goes across the chest, re-
stricting the soldier to some extent.

Looking On.

l like to linger in the shade,
close to the pail of lemonade, and
watch the honest sons of toll get
busy with the fertile soil. like
to see them shock the wheat, out
in the binding glare of heat, the
great strong men who do not tire,
and all their labors I admire. l
wonder at the giant strength that
they display, the whole days
length, and wish I had such thews
as theirs-Im soft from riding
easy chairs. I envy them the ap-
petite which makes coarse fodder
delight; 1 envy them the sleep
profound they know when slum-
bertime comes round; l envy
them, but do not flee from my
retreat beneath a tree. often
counsel other men to get back to
the soil again, to simply live and
labor hard, and work away their
surplus lard. But this soft place
beneath a tree is plenty good
enough for me. The men who
toll with might and main, who
plow the glebe and reap the grain,
receive my earnest, ardent praise,
and I embalm them in my lays;
and | am happy in the shade,
with my tall jug of lemonade.

WANDERL LISTERS TO VISIT
FAIRVIEW NEXT SUNDAY
Hike to Be Over the Trail of Two
Years Ago to Difficult Run and
on to the Falls.

Starting from 36th and NJ streets at
2:15 pm. Sunday, the wanderlusters will
go as far as Fairview, on the Great
Falls line, and from there follow the
trail of two years ago to Difficult run
and on to the falls. Walter w. Paige
will be the leader. This is one of the
really scenic spots near the District and
has been a subject for many pictures.
While at few places the trail is rough,
the walking. as a whole, is classed as
fair, proceeding from Fairview to the
run. along the run to the Potomac river.
and then back trail and on to the falls,
all within the five-mile limit. A small
party of bird and plant specialists will
leave for the same vicinity at o'clock
in the morning, remaining to join with
the afternoon crowd. Tickets should
be purchased for Great Falls.
The walk Wednesday evening was in
many respects ideal. Forty five partici-
pated, considered an excellent showing
in view of so much rain. Upon reach
ing the spring below Brightwood reser-
voir entrance to the park the mixers
were invited to drink of the cool spring
water. only to be agreeably fooled in
taking lemonade instead, which had
been prepared by the leader. Miss Mon
nah Hord.
A representative number of young
people from the Junior League of
Washington, the president of which is
Leo Kershenbaum. made their initial
walk with the wanderlusters on this
occasion and promised to interest others
of their membership of seventy-five or
a hundred in becoming regular mixers.
After brief rest at the small open
house on Military road near the creek,
a trail was followed on the west of the
creek, crossing just above the Miller
cabin. and then along the east bank of
the creek and up by Camp Good VIII.
The end was the same as the beginning,
at the Piney Branch cars making a dis
tance of some three miles.
