Criticism OF University expenditures
arose with the announcement recently
that an appropriation Of approximate

the next two years.
The committee, which will make its
investigation principally at the Uni

subpoenae a witness, to compel pro-

take any further action necessary to
make complete inquiry.
Amid scenes of wild excitement the
House of Representatives indefinitely
postponed the bill recently passed by
the Senate which would authorize the
use OF state prisoners In road build
ing.
Farmer members contended that to
use prisoners in road building would
mean the cutting down Of the output
OF twine and farm machinery at the
State Prison at Saltwater and thus
would result in an increase in prices
Of these commodities in Minnesota.

House of Representatives has passed

ciared, would permit the men 10 live
properly until they had obtained new
positions. II was predicted that the
measure would pass the Senate.

warm, several members intimating
that opposition to the measure could
indicate only an absence of patriotism.

war, urged the passage OF the bill.

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our. city folks die Of thick
ening Of the arteries or Of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.

TALES OF POISONING
CALLED PRO-GERMAN

Reports of poisoning by home
canned foods are thought to be the
work of unpatriotic commercial in
terests and might even be traced to
pro-German sources" declares Mrs.
Elizabeth Deits Jones, assistant state
club leader of Boys and Girls Clubs
Extension Service. During the past
six months Mrs, Jones has had wide
experience in teaching home canning
throughout Washington, and has
talked with hundreds of women who
proudly point to row upon row of
canned fruit, meat, fish, and vege-
tables ready for winter.
Every case of failure with the
Cold Pack Method advocated bv the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has been traced either to
carelessness in following directions.
defective jars or weak rubbers. OF
a recent survey in Michigan which
covered the work of 425 women and
girls who canned 1857 jars of fruit
and vegetables by the One-Period
Cold Pack Method in the past three
years only one and nine-tenths Der
cent failed to Keep"
Mrs. Jones assures housewives that
they will be perfectly safe in eating
the canned goods that show no signs
of spoilage; even an inexperienced
eye can detect spoiled food.
"If there is any doubt about the
vegetables, fish or meat, throw il
away" advises Mrs. Jones. often
the food that has presumably spoiled
after canning was not fresh when
put in the jar. This is especially
true of asparagus, which should
never be more than six hours old
when canned and fish, which may be
soft from long shipment when re-
ceived by the housewife"

THE COAL SITUATION

The Washington branch of the
United States fuel administration
has issued the following statement:
Beginning with this week some of
the coal mines in this state are oper-
ating only part of the time and
others face the possibility of being
compelled to do likewise Not be-
cause they cant get their cars. nor
because they haven't enough labor,
but because they are without orders
for their product.
There are several reasons for this.
One is that dealers in eastern Wash
ington com munities, accustomed to
receiving their supplies of coal from
the fields of Wyoming, Montana and
Utah, continue to await shipments
from there, in spite of the fact that
there is no immediate prospect of
greatly increased movement of fuel
from the fields to the east, and it
may become necessary to divert ship
ments from those fields to places
farther east, where an actual short
age exists now.
Perhaps in these and other com
munities, the continuance of warm
weather, and the lingering hope that
the price of coal may take a sudden
drop, has resulted in a reluctance on
the part of the consumer to purchase
fuel on anything more than a hand
to mouth basis.
Whatever the reason it is imper-
alive that the mines continue stead
lily in operation One way is for the
mines to take on orders for consid-
cradle quantities of their coal for
markets outside the state. In so do
ing, they will be helping the general
fuel situation, but, once obligated to
supply these markets, they will be
running the risk of pinching the
Washington consumer when a cold
period comes and there is rush to
lay in a stock of fuel.
Our county committees can help to
correct this situation. They should
get in touch with the dealers whose
orders are not being filled, and urge
upon them the ACCESSIBILITY of order
ing from mines near them, even
though they are accustomed to re-
ceiving their supplies from mines a
long haul away to the east. They
should tell the consumers, by word
OF mouth and through the press, to

CAN GULL APPLES
FOR WINTER PIES

Apple pie filling using Gull apples
that could not be stored, sweetened
with the juice from skins and cores
is the recent work of the ] Kan L

kane. Miss Elizabeth Diets Jones,
assistant state club leader and Miss
Josephine Arnquist, emergency as
sistant club leader, directed the dem
cnstration which also included dry
ing Gull apples, canning whole apples
for later baking, and making apple
jelly from cores and skins.
Mrs. Jones recently spent two days
at the teachers institute in Grant
county, where, she reports, many pig
and sheep clubs will be organized
within the next two months.
A detailed explanation of the sery-
ices offered by the State College
through its Extension Service was re-
quested by principals at the Thurs
ton county teachers institute in the
discussion of food production and
conservation. Mrs. Jones spoke here
three Gays.
Large garden, rabbit, poultry, and
canning clubs viii be formed in Che
halls with the aim to enroll every
child in some club next year. Mrs.
Jones spent two days at the Lewis
county farmers institute.
Club work in Renton will be kept
going all summer by teachers who
will remain there. With canning
plant in the school house the entire
community will share in canning
work next summer Three Renton
girls raised their own peas, beans
and corn this last summer, put them
up in cans and sold them on the local
market.
