GIVE CANNING
A FAIR TRIAL

Don't judge the success of canning
by your first effort with whatever
product you happen to find in market
when you begin operations" says a
statement just issued by the United
States department Of agriculture. 1T
rs more than likely that if you were a
beginner at canning you started with
strawberries, the first fruit available.
If you did you should realize that
Strawberries are one of the most diff
ficult of all products to can satisfac-
tOrily. 1t is next to impossible, in fact,
to can this fruit, as distinguished from
preserving it Tin which case much
larger proportion of sugar is used), so
that it's color, size, and texture will be
preserved.
1T is normal, if ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less brown,
and float to the top of the Jars. The
product is palatable, however, and will
keep perfectly if the sterilization has
been done properly.
Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning is failure. Above
all, don't become discouraged and fear
that all your canning will be unsatis-
factory. Practically every vegetable
and fruit worth canning may be canned
and kept in a condition fairly compar-

field were followed as much as his
pitching performances.
Waddell came and left, but in lat
ter years there was no personality like
the Rube's even in the days when Ed
die Collins J. Franklin Baker and Dan
Murphy were heroes. The new influx
of Athletic celebrities were different
than the RUDE In that they were cor
rect young men, who cranked their au-
tOmObiles after the game and whirled
away to suburban residences. The
fans never saw them except in a uni
form. There was no common bond be-
tween player and patron.
BOdie Is different. He Is demo-
cratic, and the fans can get close
view of him. He Is mingler and
mixer, although he never permits pOpu-
Iarity to affect his usefulness as a
player.
AS a matter Of fact, BOdie has been
the most maiigned player In the cOun-

Servant Was Paid No Wages
But Was Taken to Cemetery
Occasionally Just as Treat

An unusual servant in these days OF
high-priced help appeared before JUS
tice CrOpsey in Brooklyn in Euphros-
mia Wiegert, who worked ID years for
Mrs. Josephine Prentice of Brooklyn,
and says she collected only $171.0O for
services, says the New York World.
She sued Mrs. Prentice's estate for
$3,39S and a jury gave her n verdict
for $2O66.
Miss Wiegert testified that she
worked for Mrs. Prentice from 1902 to
1915, when the latter died. The maid
said Mrs. Prentice promised to remu-
nerate her upon the death of her
mother, when she would come into an
estate left by her father. The girls
wages first were $1S month, she tes-
titled; later they were raised to $22.
Mrs. Prentice and her mother died
within q short time Of each other, fall
ing to provide for the faithful servant.
Mrs. Margaret NJ. John, formerly
neighbor of Mrs. Prentice, testified:
Mrs. Prentice told me she thought
a great deal Of Rose. She said that
sometimes she gave Rose 25 or 50
cents, but did not pay her any wages.
Just for n treat, Mrs. Prentice said,
she would take Rose to the cemetery
and buy her lunch. She said she in
tended to he very good to Rose when
her mothers estate was settled"

Food MASTERS Branded as
DisIoyaI to Country by
Head of Camp Fire Girls.

That people who waste food are as
bad as those who Overeat, was the as
sertion made to Camp Fire girls by
DR.. Luther Gulick, national president.
Doctor Gulick continued:
"We should look upon such persons
who are willing as hosts to take the
best of the food on the table, leaving
our guests, the allies, to get anything
they can, as dislOyal to our country"
The list Of suggestions for patriotic
manners follows: Save and use ev-
cry scrap Of bread or other wheat
product; use meat or eggs but once
day; use all leftover bits Of meat
and bones for soup, stews and hashes;
use corn in place Of wheat to cOnsid-
cradle extent; buy only the food you
need; clean out all bread and cake
bowls and dishes used for cooking
cereals with spatula; scrub the pO-
tatoes ana eat the skins; do not have
many things to eat ut one meal; have
only two cO0rses at meals; use rice
instead Of potatoes; use rice water
for soups spaghetti and macaroni take
the place of potatoes; use the less ex-
pensive and more nOurishing cuts f
meat; use little butter; leave no scraps
on your plate; don't help yourself to
more than you can eat; when serving
food make the portions small !; use veg
etables which you have raised yourself
in your own garden; can all fruits for
yourself; in the fall gather all edible
nuts.

OBLIGATION RESTS UPON THOSE AT
HOME AS WELL AS SOLDIERS At FRONT
BY REV. CHARLES sTELZIE.

For those who cannot 60 to war-as
well as those who will go to the 'front.'
there is distinct obligation to dedi-
cate themselves to the task of helping
on the great new brotherhood of the
world
This brotherhood will be founded
upon the revolution which is sweeping
through every country on the globe,
and which is working itself out through
the war, from the effects of which no
nation can escape.
Nor can this movement for the broth
ernoOd Of man be retarded by petty
hates and spites or by the ambitions
and intrigues of kings and cabinets and
the heartless Vaccinations of con-
temptuOus politicians.
For hundreds of years the race of
men has been getting ready for this
world brotherhood. And all the signs
point toward the fulfillment of the
noble ideals which has been vaguely,
though persistently floating through
the hearts and minds of those who.
each in their day and generation.
brought their contributions toward this
world democracy.
The Russia Of hundreds of years Is
no mOre-the car is gone forever.
The Germany Of generations has closed
Itself into be opposed by every for
ward-lOoking nation. and by the larger
minded Germans themselves, until 1t
has been crushed for all time.
England - self-confident, self-satis-
fed, luxurious, with class spirit highly
developed-though sound at heart
has seen the need of closer and sin
cerer cooperation with the wider-vis-
toned nations of earth.
France-light-hearte and gay, often
careless-although it had the blood of
heroes and martyrs in its veins-can
never again be what 1t was.

Worlds Largest Organ, in
Great English Cathedral,
Is to Have 1867 Pipes.

The largest organ in the world is
now being built for the new cathedral
at Liverpool. 1t is the gift of Mrs.
James Barrow of Waterloo, near Liver
pool. Started in January, 1913, it was
to take four years to complete. Says
London Tid-Bits:
This organ will have five manuals,
167 speaking stops, and 215 draw stop
knobs, and total of 1O,567 pipes. The
action itself will be electro-pneumatic
and tubular-pneumatic on the Willis
system. The keys will be laid with
heavy plates Of ivory without surface
joints and the key frames will be of
ebony. The music desk, draw stop and
pedal jambs of console will be made
Of rosewood and the pedal board will
be made of teak. The four tremulants
will be rather unique, inasmuch as the
player will be able to regulate the
rapidity of the vibrato at will by means
of q pedal. The blowing will be done
by seven separate installations and
each separate installation will be cleo

automatically controlled by the rise
and full of the main reservoir. The
starting and stopping will be easily ac-
cOmplished at the console by simply
pressing three sets of push buttons.
Now, probably most people will think
that the organ will be altogether too
large, but when the size of the cathe-
dral Is taken into consideration, it will
be readily seen that the organ will by
no means be out Of proportion. The
total length Of the cathedral is 60 feet,
width across the main transepts 200
feet and the height from the floor to
the apex of groining 115 feet.

And America-we are being shaken
