Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer keen

Regrets are the only things ever
canned in the jars you forget to or

Can nothing that can be kept
without canning. Dry such. vegeta-
bles as corn, string beans, navy beans,
mature Lima beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden
all winter if you have your canned
evidence on the dinner table.
Concentrate products, especially
soup mixtures, so that each CON

food and as little water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruits and vegetables except care,
cleanliness, fresh products, jars and
heat.
Home canning is kitchen patriot

Canned fruits and vegetables help

Would Greatly Aid Institutions.
Greenwood Journal.)

DR.. A. Il. Jamison has returned
from Columbia, where he attended a
meeting Of the heads Of the orphan
ages Of the State with the State
Board of Charities and Corrections.
A resolution was unanimously adopt
ed by the representatives Of the or
phanages declaring that the greatest
service the State Of South Carolina
could render their institutions would
be to provide a State training school
for the feeble-minded, to which the
orphanages could send their defective
children for special training. The bill
providing for the establishment Of
the training school was passed by the
House this year and is now on the
calendar of the Senate, with a favor

PAIsDONs SIXTEEN.
Women Sentenced to Workhouse
Given Liberty by Wilson,

Washington, July 19.-SiXteen wo-
men sent to the workhouse for their
part In the suffrage demonstration
Saturday at the White House accept
ed pardons to-day from President
Wilson and were released after serv-
Ing two days Of their 60-day terms.
The prisoners left the workhouse,
apparently without regret despite
their previous declarations that they
desired to serve out their time with
out appeal or clemency. These asser-
tions had led to an announcement by
the Department Of Justice pointing
out that pardon need not be ac-
cepted unless the prisoners desired
1t. When the time for departure
came, however, the women's only
protest was against the trials they
underwent during their detention.
At headquarters OF the woman's
party the 16 were received az martyrs
and at dinner given in their honor
plans were made for continuing the
White House picketing Of which Sat-
urday's demonstration was part.
A defnant statement issues at the
headquarters said the campaign to
impress President Wilson and the
country by parading before the White
House would go on without change.
Feels for their Children.
The President acted after the hus-
bands of several of the prisoners had
interceded and after he had been told
that some Of them had small chill
dren at home needing their care.
Some Of Mr.. Wilson's friends declar-
ed this element undoubtedly had
been the determining influence
18th him. Others suggested that he
,.;ted in the hope that pardons would
minimize publicity, an avowed part
of the women's campaign. The suf-
| fragists insisted he had become con-
vinced that the country was aroused
over the workhouse sentences.
Every party to the incident, how
ever, was left to It's own speculations
Secretary Tumulty said issuance OF
the pardons would have to speak for
itself, and all other officials in q
position to know the President e
thoughts on the subject were silent.
"The Presidents action in no way
affected the general suffrage sitda.
tion,' said the woman's party state.

see it, is that the women are out OF

Germ to us compared with the concern

which we are fighting. Picketinf

About Tomato Wilt.

Clemson College, July 24.-If the
leaves at the tops of the tomato
plants, or at the ends OF the branches
begin to wilt, without being discolor-
or spotted, and this wilt gradually
works back until the entire plant Is
affected. tomato wilt is in the patch.
This disease is caused by bacte-
rum which gets into the tissues of
the plants and .plugs up the water
carrying vessels to such an extent
that the circulation is cut off, thus
causing the plant to wilt.
The bacterium which causes the
disease cannot be destroyed by spray
ing, so all diseased plants should be
pulled up and burned as soon as they
become affected. If these plants are
not destroyed, the disease will
spread and the whole patch may be
ruined.
wilt Is easily carried from one
plant to another by biting and suck
ing insects, and as they are probably
the main carriers Of the disease, the
method Of control aims at their de-
struction. The fewer insects CT this
kind in the field the less will be the
attack Of the disease. The plants are
sprayed with mixture Of one-half
pound of paste, one-fourth pound Of
powdered arsenate Of lead to IL gall
Ions Of Bordeaux mixture.
There Is no danger in using this
mixture on tomatoes. it is strong
enough to kill the bugs, but a man
would have to eat bushel Of toma-
toes at one time to have any bad ef-
feet from the poison.
AS the germ lives from one year to
another In the soil, tomatoes should
not be planted on ground that has
been Infected,

STANDS BY THE SUBMARINE.
New German Imperial Chancellor
Says Lawful and Justifiable.

Copenhagen, July 19.-Dr. Michae-
lis, the new German imperial chan
cellor, in his address to the Reichs-
tag Thursday afternoon declared his
adhesion to Germany's submarine
campaign, asserting it to be lawful
measure, justifiably adopted for
shortening the war.
DR.. Michaelis opened his Reichstag
speech with hearty tribute to DR..
Won Bethmann Hollweg, the retiring
imperial chancellor, whose work, he
said, history would appreciate.
The chancellor declared that the
war was forced upon unwilling Ger
many by the Russian mobilization
and that the submarine war also was
forced upon Germany by Great Bri-
tain's illegal blockade starvation
war.
The faint hope that America, at
the head of the neutrals, would check
Great Britain's illegality was vain.
Germany's final attempt to avoid the
extremity by peace offer failed and
the submarine campaign was adopt
ed, said the chancellor.
The submarine, the speaker con-
tinued, had done all and more than
had been expected and the false
prophets who had predicted the. end
Of the war at definite time had done
disservice to the Fatherland.
To Press Peace Resolution.
Amsterdam, July 19.-The Berlin
Tageblatt says the committee Of the
majority parties In the German
Reichstag have unanimously decided
to move the peace resolution. Previ-
ously the committee was divided, two
members of the Centre and one Lib
eral disagreeing with the majority.
Tine Tageblatt says that in the
Reichstag 221 deputies will vote for
the peace resolution.

milwaukee Sentinel.)

NNAAA"ouhSS ocltllHSl.J
When Count Zeppelin conceived the
idea of aerial warships and gave ut
terance to the thought, Capt. Jos. B.
Oliver, member Of the Milwaukee
'zouaves, one Of the foremost regi-
ments of the Civil War, was one who
heard him.
If so much can be accomplished
by means of captive balloon, l can
do still more by sending up an aerial
craft operated by its own power"
were the words Of Count Zeppelin,
according to Capt. Oliver.
At the time this remark was made
Count Zeppelin was with Gen. Han
cock when he was holding a position
before P..hmond, Va. Count Zeppe-
lin was representing the German mil
itary STAFF. Capt Oliver was aide-de-
camp to Gen. Hancock.

observer" said the captain. "The
balloon was let out on a rope in the
morning, and at nightfall it was
pulled In. The observer would then
report to his commander
Count Zeppelin had a quick eye
for every detail Of military organi-
cation, but he was especially interest
ed in that captive balloon. He was
present when the balloon was sent up
and when it was brought down. Dur
ing the day he often was seen OBJ
serving it as it f1oated far out OF
reach Of the guns. He was always
anxious to know what were the re-
suits of the observations, although,
of course, they were not divulged un-
til they were no longer of value
II have watched his course from
that day to this. do not believe he
then saw the possibilities which un-
folded themselves to him as he per-
fected his great airships. But what 1
knew Of the man led me to believe
that he would relentlessly pursue his
idea until he had accomplished great
results

Was Deliberately Wrecked.

Charlotte, July 19.-That the Sou
thern Railway train derailed near
Huntersville, N. c., Tuesday, in
which two men were killed and seve-
raj injured, was wilfully wrecked
was the verdict of the coroner's jury,
which returned a decision after an
all-day session. The jury agreed that
the wreck was caused by removing
spikes that held the rails to the
ties, but was unable to fix the respon-
sibility. Although officers are still
at work on the case, they are said to
have several suspects under surveil-
lance. No arrests have yet been
made.
