enty minutes. We prepared beets
in about the same way as beans, ex-
cept they were only cooked forty
minutes.
Grapes were stemmed, washed
and cans filled. being careful not to
mash the grapes, using one cup OF
granulated sugar, then water to fill
the can. These were just brought
TO the boiling point. If cooked
longer the grapes burst, thus injur-
ing the appearance.
For canned figs we use only fully
adding one cup of sugar to each
ripe and fresh fruit, packed closely,
Jdding one cup of sugar TO each
can. Cook thirty minutes.
Apples and peaches we can in
rilered fruit. adding one table
srC DnfIl of sugar - each can.
Twelve minutes is pi MY long to
cook. We used both glass jars ana
tn cans and found our cannsr Pc
fcctly satisfactory. W. only can
ned about four hundred cans. But
at ten cents each this means a nicS
little sum saved. not mentioning
the satisfaction of knowing we were
using home canned products. Which.
in my opinion, are far superior to
factory goods. We are planning to
spend many more days under the
shade canning this year than last.
We shall invite our friends to
visit us during canning season that
they may enjoy with us the fun of
outdoor canning.

Caro- for Your Own Health.

Doctor Krusen, who is in charge OF
the public health department of Phil.
adelphia, recently warned his public
that medicines play really minor
part in the treatment of diseases, and
added:
Tradition, custom, and the 'medi.
cine man have been largely responsi.
BILE for the extensive use Of drugs.
There are many people who still be-
lieve that illness requires the immedi.
ate use Of medicines and that there
are some mysterious or miraculous
qualities in them which drive away
the evil spirits of fever.
'Tndiscretion in diet, overdrinking.
careless habits and improper living
cannot be corrected by taking the
contents of the corked medicine bot
tie. AS q matter Of fact, the number
OF drugs which are considered as spe-
cifics for definite diseases may be
counted on the fingers of one hand"
These are sober words from q SCI
entific authority, q man trained in
the use Of drugs In the treatment of
diseases.

The growth Of the use of pcyote
among the Indians and the subsequent
effect upon them attracted the attcn.
tion of some of the white residents
OF the Uinta basin. including Senator
Don b. Cotton. He called the atten.
ton OF Governor Spry to the matter.
and the governor ordered an immedi-
ate and thorough investigation.
Peyote is something new in the way
Of narcotics. as Mr.. Harms found out
during the investigation. Here is n
cactus plant, common enough in the
western states, that contains juices
as powerful as opium or morphine.
Mr, Harms consulted the leading med
ical and pharmaceutical books, but
none of them contained even a men
tion of pcrote. He also wrote to the
Thomas Nelson research and infor.
nation bureau OF New York for infor.
nation about il. but received no reply.
MIR. Harms then SET about an eXhaus-
tive investigation of his own with the
samples he had received from the
Cinta country

peyote plant are chewcd by the In.

HOW CANNING PAYS.
BY Mrs. G. G.. Tunstall.


Ever since l began housekeeping
I have been canning some each year.
always using the cook stove. but
last year we planned to do more
canning than usual. so we ordered
an El-Flo home canning outfit
one with smokestack. so we could
do our canning outdoors in the
shade. 1t was real fun to work out
in the cool breeeze, the only disa-
greeable task being in using the
Gaping steel in sealing the cans.
This was done by our oldest son.
who did not seem to mind it in the
least. The other members of tn.
family helped prepare the fruit and
vegetables and packed cans. We
were very careful to see that all
cans. caps, jars and lids were thor
oughly sterilized, being sure the
water was boiling hot, believing
complete sterilization, which de-
stroys bacteria, to be the real secret
of successful canning. We started
with tomatoes, filling Gamer tray
stern downward. dipping in boiling
water for one minute, then emptyins
into tub of cool water to stop cook
ing of tomatoes and cause peeling to
remove easily. We then removed
peeling, cut tomatoes in halves and
quarters. Uf tomatoes were of
varieties which contained cores
these were cut out before halving
ana quarterlng. We then packed
cans, using large spoon to pack with,
filing in cans with excess Juice and
adding one tablespoonful of salt to
each can. Seal and cook twenty-five
minutes. We followed this plan an |
never had single spoiled can. We
are using these tomatoes every day
and each can seems better than the
last. We also canned succotash
For this we used one-third corn.
one-third beans (snap) and one
third tomatoes. Add one tablespoon
Iful of salt. Seal and cook one hour
This Is fine for soups.
String beans were then canned,
using only those just grown. We
first washed. removed strings, broke
in convenient lengths, then placed
them In thin sack. blanching for fif-
teen minutes in boiling water in
eanner. We then packed cans as
full as possible. filing in with clear
water and salt to taste. Cook sew

STAFF Officers of Gen. Funston
northern Mexico to-day. The prob
able moves of Herrera and his 1000
men were carefully considered and
at every point along the. border, note
was taken of the positions of Ameri-
can troops and the time it would
take to move them to meet any situ-
alton.
Army officers believe that If Her.
rera has revolted his activities will
be confined to operations that have
| for their object the Strengthening OF
Villas bands and the harassing of
Gen. Pershing's force. 1t was feared
that he would cut the Northwestern
Railway over which Gen, Funston
hopes to receive permission to move
supplies to the American troops, now
almost 200 miles into Mexico. To
prevent this move Gen. Funston Is
powerless and it is doubted If Car
ranZa's troops are in position to op.
pose Herrera.
Reports at headquarters that Gen
Givira's garrison at JuareZ was about
to revolt and that the troops at Tor
reon were manifesting disaffectioI
were regarded with apprehension a
the fort. The Mexican consul here
continued to deny their truth and re
iterated his assertion that Herrer;
had not taken the field.

PRAISES AMERICAN NAVY.
Best i'm the World, Declares Senator
Hardwick.

Washington, March 1S.-Senator
Hardwick, addressing the senate to-
day, praised the United States navy
as the best in the world, man for
man and ship for ship. He spoke in
support of his bill extending mill
tary instruction in schools and col
leges as the best solution of what
he termed the ''most troublesome
and most important question OF any
preparedness" the creation of a mill
tary reserve.
The Hardwick bill contemplates
the appropriation of S20,000,000 for
the payment of officers as instruc-
tors, for military drill and equip
ment of students. There are nearly
two million boys of over fifteen years
of age in schools and, colleges. he
said, and their training would create
a large. intelligent reserve force and
improve their standards.

ORDERS ARE GIVEN
FOR RAPID ACTION

San Antonio, Texas, March "a
Orders going from Fort Sam Hous-

along the border should new rebel
lions in Mexico make 1t necessary.
Gen. Funston was not altogether
convinced of the truth of the report
that Gen. Luis Herrera, the deposed
military leader at Chihuahua, had en-
tered the field with Villa against
the United States, but the repetition
OF the report, and the absence of ac-
ceptable evidence to the contrary
caused the general and his staff to
regard IL as probably true.
