Il good method of conserving food.
Because of the danger sometimes en-
counterd in canning meat, she ad-
vises as follows:
In order that we may feel sure
that all subject material being used
in the State is safe, sane and prac-
tical, | wish to call attention to a
few points regarding the canning Of
meat in the home. Nicrob organ
isms find in meat most favorable
medium for growth, and it has been
found that certain poisons are de
velpCd where meat is not properly
canned. Meats containing such poi
sons do not always have an unpleas
ant odor or taste and the persons
using the meat are not aware of any
danger until poisoning sets in. do
not think the average housewife is
prepared, with her present limited
knowledge of canning and her made
Qlate equipment, to safely handle
meat canning in the home. What
We want in Colorado at the present
time is more and better cured meat

ic nitrogen industry the question of water power is vital one."
 Hence, the Norwegians have given this question as much attention as the chem fcal part of the manufacturing. Our in- dustry cannot exist unless it can pro- cure cheap water power. Dr. Eyde states further that it was the lack of ex- perience which had created the industry and that if he had paid attention to all the doubt and hesitation brought forward by the so-called authorities during the development of their enterprises the Nor wegian people today would never have their nitrate industry
 Just think of Germany being smaller than the state of Texas yet she uses more fertilizer than the entire United States (about $20O, COG, 00o worth annually) thus producing crop yields of 80 per cent greater per acre than the yields in this country. The time has come for the United States to avail herself with an adequate, cheap supply of fertilizer and use it at the German rate per cultivated acre, and secure thereby the same in- crease in production credited to the use of fertilizer in Germany, which would mean a net gain in crop yields to the United States, over and above the cost of the fertilizer, of 1000 100000 per year.
 The first nitrate plant the government establishes should be located at Muscle Shoals, because it contains every advan- tage necessary for such development.

Thousands of Foreigners
 Hurry to Become Citizens

Washington, February 17.-During the two weeks since the diplomatic break with Germany, foreigners living in the United States, notably Germans and Austrians, have f1ocked to the courts to become American citizens in such numbers that labor department officials said today the total could not even be estimated. An idea of the un- precedented rush for naturalization pa pers is afforded by the fact that on one day alone more than 50,000 certificates of naturalization were issued.
 For the first time in the history of the department, factory and mill em- ployers with large numbers of foreign workers on their pay rolls will aid their employees in a wholesale way to become American citizens. Tens of thousands of application blanks will be distrib uted among such employers to facili- tate their reaching employees who de- sire naturalization. In number of mills special instructors will be desig- mated to coach employees in the require ments necessary to obtain citizenship, and department examiners will after wards meet applicants in squads and inform them more in detail as to what will be expected of them and how to pass the tests.

The city will not divulge the names of the group of financiers of undoubted financial ability" mentioned in the brief filed with the federal court seeking to prevent the absorption of the Tidewater Street railroad by the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company. James Weatherly, commissioner of public utili- ties, stated last night that he did not know personally who these parties were, but that he had been told by others that this group of capitalists had made in- vestigations of the Birmingham, Ensley and Bessemer railroad and that as he had learned their names in confidence, he could not state who they were.
 We know just enough to give us hope" said Mr. Weatherly. T have been in formed by two men that group of capi- talists are willing to pay more for the railroad than the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company offers.

 The city maintains that the capitalists have made a thorough investigation of the physical properties of the Tidewater, the traffic conditions, the amount of rev. enue obtained and the amount of money necessary to operate the railroad.
 In view of these considerations, the commission asks that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company be denied the right of taking over the Tide water railroad.
 The city asks that bids be reopened by the court inasmuch as the commission understands that the deal with the group of financiers of undoubted financial abil- ity" could consummate the deal within 90 days.
 Bondholders of the Tidewater, when questioned about their version of the natter were frank to state that they did not put faith in the allegations. They avowed it seemed funny to them that during the many years the Tidewater was on the market this group of capital ists did not make an attempt to pur' chase it.

 While the great majority of the people of our great nation, and practically all the citizens of our city and county, are opposed to our entering the great war and still hoping that our President will keep us out of it, yet it cannot be de- nied that, after breaking diplomatic re- la tions with Germany, chance accidenl CT mistake may mean war with a coun- try, which has always been our friend. while our professed friends were seeking to harm us In retaliation for the Illegal and indefensible'' (our Presidents worlds blockade of Germany by Great Britain aiming to starve the civil population, and if possible, to prevent another genera tion of Germans from growing up, Ger many has again resumed her illegal DOCK ade of England, and all her other enemies by submarines, in order to starVe the population and to give those English cousins a dose of their own medicine.

AS it is now, all the belligerents trample on our rights, and England wipes her feet on our sovereignty in going through our mail, boycotting American firms in our own America, and in abusing our flag, to make war on a friendly nation. All these wrongs we have suffered from England, protesting against them. but never threatening to
