FRUIT CANNED WITHOUT SUGAR.
Department of Agriculture Experts
Give Directions For Preserving
Pie and Salad Fruits.

Washington.-Frui for use in pie
or salads or as stewed fruit can be put
up or canned without the use of any
sugar at all, according to the can
ming specialists of the Department of
Agriculture. 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 water
when sugar sirup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterilized and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling wa
ter instead of the hot sirup. The use
Of sugar of course, is desirable in the
canning of all kinds of fruits 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 well as fruit put up in sirup.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day it is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing it in a 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 a tablespoon,
| wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
| ing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from a kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal complete
| ly if using tin cans. Place the con-
| tainers in a sterilizing vat, such as a
wash boiler with false bottom, or 9TH
er receptacle improvised for the pur-
pose. If using a hot water bath out
| fit, 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 packs, seal glass
| jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleach
| ing and store in 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 steam pressure Gamer instead
of the hot water bath, sterilize for ten
minutes with pounds of steam pres
sure. Never allow the pressure to go
over 10 pounds

not stand sunshine. Therefore, be
cheerful. 1t may cost you something
at first, but it will pay in the end
How does one do it? Look on the
bright side of life instead of on the
bad. The world is pretty good world
on the whole and you will enjoy it
more than you do when you begin to
look on it with unclouded eyes
Leave the house or office behind you
once in while and take breathing
spell in the open. Don't bother with
bargain days unless you really want
to buy something that you need. And
even at the bargain counter be sunny.

the example in this poem:
Though none of us is free from guilt.
Though meme is free from sin,
You'll find a little baby's smile
Will make the whole world grin.

Judge Mayer had his decision under

If the decree had adjudged the line
guilty of negligence the company

T|TANT|C SUITS END
WITH COURT DECREE
JUDGE ALLOWS LIABILITY OF
BOAT COMPANY TO BE
100000.
Finds Company is Not Liable For Loss
Due to Sinking of Ship-Officers
Not Negligent.

New York, Aug 5.-Litigation in
volying claims against the owners of
the steamship Titanic arising from its
sinking four years ago was ended re-
Gently when Judge Mayer, in the ad-
miralty branch of the federal district
court, signed a degree granting the
petition of the White Star line limit
ing its liability This degree, by ex-
ira judicial agreement. will start the
division of nearly 100000 claim mon
ey among the hundreds of claimants
for large amounts.
The degree declares 1.-The petitioner
is not liable to any extent for any loss,
damage, injury, destruction or fatal
ity, or for any claim whatsoever in
any way resulting or arising from or
growing out of aid collision and sink
ing, and is free from all personal and
corporate liability and all
debts, claims and demands of whatso-
ever nature resulting from the voyage
of the steamship Titanic, which began
at Southampton, April 10, 1912"
The decree also absolves officers of
the Oceanic Steam Navigation Com
pany, Ltd, from charges of negligence,
denies the right of any claimant not
a party to previous settlement agree
ments to recover damages. and per-
petually enjoins and restraints any
new actions of any kind for Titanic
damages against the line in any
court of any country or Jurisdiction -
Pursuant to the decree, Frank Fer
don, clerk of the court, at once re-
turned to Birmingham, Montgomery &
Beecher, proctors in admiralty for the
White Star Line, SILT, 10135, the
amount, less fees, deposited with the
court when the petition was filed
This sum will be added to $685. 900
deposited by the line with the New
York Trust company, to be divided
pro rata among the claimants who
reached an agreement out of court
several weeks agoNwith the steamship
company. This division will award
approximately q per cent on claims,
totalling about S1S,000,000

INFANTILE PARALYSIS AND RUN
MING NOSES.

Infantile paralysis, an epidemic of
which has been raging in New York,
is another of the diseases of child
hood which authorities in contagious
diseases state secure their entry
through nose and throat and are pass
ed on to new victims by the mucous
discharges of patients suffering from
them. The list is long one, includ-
ing nearly every contagious disease
of childhood. Measles, mumps, scar
let fever whooping cough, sore throat,
tonsilitis, pneumonia, grippe and COM
mon colds are doubtless spread in this
manner.
In the warnings concerning infan-
tile paralysis great emphasis is placed
on viewing every child who shows
symptoms Of a common cold" dur
ing an epidemic, with suspicion. This
is especially important as it is now
believed that many infections with the
germs of infantile paralysis never go
to paralysis and that child, sup
posedly with nothing but a common
cold, may infect another child who
from this terrible disease.
| wish that | might persuade every
parent and teacher to respect the pos
sible danger that lies in running
noses" of childhood. AS yet Wiscon-
sin has escaped an epidemic of in
fantile paralysis this year, but it may
come. The other diseases, however,
we have in great numbers each year.
Our need of preventing them is still
greater than preventing infantile
paralysis, in spite of publicity the lat
ter disease is now receiving.
Every child with a common cold"
who shows any signs of feverishness,
who acts istless, whose appetite is
poor, is a suspicious character and
should be excluded from contact with
others. He should be put to bed, for
his own sake and for the rs-e OF other
children, until his temperature is
normal. And yet, one of the most in
telligent school teachers [ know,
spurred with the desire of good at
tendance records and high scholar
ship, urged her children not to stay
out of school for common colds"
Until she and her kind, and parents,
generally, come to have a better ap-
probation of the relatively greater
value of life and health, we shall con-
tinue to slaughter and cripple our
children by contagious diseases-in-
fantile paralysis among the others.
