BOX; WAS NOT LIQUOR

Ashburn, June 1.-The Sheriff of
Turner and his deputies have been
unusually vigilant during the past few
weeks in intercepting shipments Of
liquor sent illegally into the state,
but one night this week they eXercis
ed prudence that might have gotten
themselves into serious trouble. The
story has just become known.
One night this week, when the G.
S. e. f. northbound passenger train
carried corpse that was being
shipped from Jacksonville to small
station north of here (the sheriff is
suspicious of anything from Jackson
ville), the officers decided that an in
vestigation was necessary. The train
does not stop at the station to which
the corpse was consigned, so it was
left BY the G. S. e F. for the "Shoofy'
TO pick up and complete the trip.
Thinking some tiger" was about to
outwit his forces. the Sheriff and his
men cpened the coffin at the station.
1t was a corpse all right.

ALI fruits and vegetables should be
canned by cooking them in the Jar
or can in a vessel of hot water. By
this method, instead of the old-fash-
Toned way of cooking them and put
ting them in the container afterward
the Following advantages are to be
had: ID 1t is much more comforta.
bic for the person doing the work to
be in cool place and back products in
containers while cold than to stand
over the hot stove to cook products
and put them in containers while hot,
(2) Fruits and vegetables canned in
the containers keep them better than
those cooked and put in the contain.
er afterwards, because there is no
chance of getting more bacteria from
the air into the cooked products as
there would be in putting it into the
container after cooking. 60 The
flavor of the product hasn't evaporat-
ed from the closed container as it
does when cooked in open vessel on
the stove. az A much better pack
can be obtained when products are
packed cold.
