Two Simple Methods of
Canning Fresh Meat

Method 1.-Free the meat from the
bone and cut it in pieces Of such size
that they will go into the jars easily.
Pack the raw meat solidly into tested
clean glass jars, filling the jars to with
in three-fourths Of an inch from the
top. Sprinkle over the top of the meat
half teaspoonful of salt for each pint
of meat. Add no water. Celery leaves.
onion, pepper or other seasonings may
be added if desired. Adjust on the jar
a new rubber of good quality. Place
the cover on the top Of the jar and al
just, but do not fasten, the upper wire
clamp, or il mason jar is used partly
screw OH the cover. Place the jars on a
rack in a tightly covered container. sue.i
as wash boiler or a sap bucket in
which there is warm water that reaches
to within about an inch from the tops
Of the jars. SteriliZe the meat by cook.
ing it for from four to five hours, be-
ginning to count the time when the wa.
ter around the jars reaches the boiling
point. A steam cooker is particularly
convenient Tor this purpose and pres
sure canner reduces the sterilization
period, but wash boiler or sap buck
ct answers the purpose satisfactorily.
Before removing the cans from the
sterilizer complete the sealing of each
jar by adjusting the lower wire of the
clamp or by screwing the top tight
Keep the Jars in cool, dark place.
Method 2.-Sear the meat in a hot
oven, in hot fat or in boiling water,
and steam it or simmer it until it can
be torn apart Pack the meat into the
jars, fill the space with stock and add
half teaspoonful Of salt to each pint
OF meat. Sterilize the meat for three
hours as in method l. Unless the meat
is first Drowned it does not have so good
a favor as that of raw meat steamed
In the can.-New York State Agricul.

Millais, "Trust Me-

A lady and gentleman were standing
before picture by Millais called
Trust Me-" in which an elderly squire
confronts his daughter. who holds a
letter behind her back.
The picture admits of more explana-
tions than one, for Mr.. Millais had
that rare faculty of putting blended
expressions into his faces which puz-
zle us, as the expressions of real
faces do.
But the one this gentleman was over
heard giving his companion is as new.
we are bound to say, to the painter
as to our readers. You see," he said
"she has got a letter in her hand.
which she is keeping back from the
man in the red coat. Well, he is the
postman and has just given her the
letter. l suppose it's from abroad.
She hasn't the money to pay the post
age, so she says, Trust me-"
The explanation was given with per-
feet gravity and in apparent good
faith.-London Mail

Grand Opera In 1880,

The following excerpt from Burney's
History of Music" published in 1776.
describing the first perfornn,Hce Of the
opera "Bernice' in 1850, indicates that
there is nothing new under the sum-
even in sumptuous staging of music
dramas.
There were choruses of 100 '. ,1ns.
100 soldiers, 100 horsemen in iron ar
NOR, forty comets on horses, six trum-
peters on horseback, six drummers, six
ensigns, six great flutes, six minstrels
playing on Turkish flutes and six 9TH
ers on octave flutes, six pages, three.
sergeants, six cimbalists, twelve hunts
men, twelve grooms, six coachmen for
trumpeters, six others for the process
sion, two lions led by two Turks, two
elephants led by two others, Bernice's
triumphal car drawn by four horses,
six other cars, with prisoners and
spoils drawn by twelve horses, and six.
coaches for the procession.

Ether and M latter.

The densest matter is more or less
porous. Gold will absorb mercury as a
lump of sugar will absorb water, show
ing there must be interstices or inter-
atomic spaces in it. but the ether shows
no such property. If drop Of water
could be magnifed sufficiently one
would ultimately see the different at
oms of hydrogen and oxygen that con-
stitute the molecules of water If a
small volume of ether could be thus
magnifed the indications are that the
ultimate part would look like the first.
which is the same as saying that it is
not made up of discrete particles, but
fills space completely. This is expressed
by saying that the ether is continu-
GUS medium and Incompatible with

Advice In Securing Riches.

Frederick Weyerhaeuser, Americas
one time lumber king, who died null
imillionaire, once gave the following
rules on how to get rich: make up
your mind to work at something real
ly worthy of work and work hard. The
surest way to make money is 20 save
money and to use what you have.
Don't be afraid of long hours or con-
slant attention to your work Work
can be made joy, an economy,
pleasure, if you combine an object
worth while with the determined am
bition to win. Any young man can
get rich, can succeed, if he saves, if he
has definite and honest purpose and
Is so filled with the purpose that work
ceases to be hardship and becomes a
privilege"

SEE THE FUNNY SIDE.
Use Your Sense of tlumor When Dis
tressing Situations Arise.

IIumor proves to be the saving clause
of many Il distressing situation. The
trouble with most of us Is that we
take our troubles altogether too Sc
riously. We fail to see the funny side
OF things that for the moment concern
US, even though we are quick to grasp
1t when we are mere onlookers.
In the face of gathered clouds that
seem to shut out the sunshine forever
it is not bad idea to remind ourselves
that this old mother earth has been
revolving on her axis for countless
ages. that generations of men have
come and gone for thousands of years
and that the march of human progress
has gone right along in the forward
direction despite what seemed to be
occasional setbacks.
Laugh and the world laughs with
YOU" There is humor in nearly every
situation if we can only see it from
the right angle. Those of US who try
to smile in adversely and think how
much more laughable it would be If
conditions were reversed at least feel
less uncomfortable over it and take
pleasure in looking forward to the
time when the shoe will be on the 9TH
er fOot.-Omaha Bee.

Jack Murray Released.

Outfielder Jack Murray has been un-
conditionally released by the New York
Giants under the "ten years service
rule, which says that major league
player Of ten years experience cannot
be sent to the minor leagues without
his consent. This is the second time
that Murray has been released by the
Giants under the same rule. After he
got his first release from New York
Murray signed with the Cubs. Later
he was released to Toronto of the In
ternational league, where he played
brilliant ball. Murray secured his un-
conditional release from Toronto last
winter, presumably to accept the man
agement Of a minor league club, but
later signed with the Giants.

 Thrift Stamps

For years the United States Government has been doing wonderful things for it's citi- zens in the line of promoting their welfare through different channels, but the greatest bene- fit ever offered the great mass of people in the History of the Nation has been brought out through the great World War. We have been 2 carefree, neg lectful, Wasteful country. We have been accustomed to let the little things take care of themselves and have eontented ourselves with shrug of the shoulders and the high cost of living excuse. But confronted with a great war and the nee essity of making ends meet, We are forced to face about and take the back track.
 As & Nation we have re- sponded nobly to the demands that have been made upon us. Both Liberty Loans were re- markable successes. Men, wo- men and children have heard and needed the call. They are doing "their bit.' And now the Government has made it pos sible for the entire citizenship of the Nation to assist in this war and at the same time ma terially improve themselves. We have been admonished, time and time again to save. A very few have responded to this ad- vice mainly because it was in- convenient to lay aside the small sums required to begin a saving account. Now the Gov ernment has stepped in and makes an offer that should ap- peal to everyone, both old and young. Man or woman, boy or girl, can now start a saving ac- count as easily as buying a pos tage stamp. Any post office will gladly wait upon the low Hest person who wishes to pur- chase one of the new Thrift or War Savings Stamps.

 It is most worthy from a pa triotic standpoint. Twenty-Five cents loaned by each person in the United States would mean a grand total of twenty-five million dollars. Every penny of the amount raised through these channels will go toward the support of the men who have given up home, friends and loved ones to fight our bat ties in France.
 It is a worthy cause aside from the fact that we will be we'll repaid. We should all save our pennies and dimes and quarters and invest in this fund.
