NO MORE FREAK REGIMENTS
IN THE ARMIES OF RUSSIA

Petrpgrad, July 16-The substitution
OF the voluntary salute for the COM
pulsOry salute in the Russian army Is
significant of the abandonment Of a
number of iron-clad\and obsolete GUS
toms in Russian military circles. One
OF the most characteristic of these was
the Emperor Paul's famous regiment
of snub-nosed men, who were all bri-
gaded together as sort of cOmpli-
ment to their sovereign who was a
snub-nosed man.
The Russian army in the old days
frequently collected together into regi-
ment men unhappily distinguished by
q rtain classes of physical deform-
tiles and ldiosynorasies, Thus, there
we're regiments OF men all badly peck
marked, or all bow-legged, or all
slightly humbacked

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

Washington, D. G., July 24-Those
who needed the advice of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
plant gardens this year are now won
dering how best to preserve their
surplus fruits and vegetables. The
specialists of the department, who
have tried out various methods for
canning, preserving, drying, picking,
and making jam, have recently issued
bulletins showing how this work may
be done successfully. Anyone can
have these publications for the ask
ing, so ignorance of the proper proce-
dure will not serve as a legitimate
excuse for allowing any garden pro-
duce to spoil this year.
Farmers Bulletin 1853, Home Can
ming of Fruits and Vegetables" shows
how fruit may be canned especially
under conditions existing in the
South. Some products in that Sec
ton, the bulletin states, should be
given intermittent sterilization. This
consists of applying boiling tenn
perature to products already packed
in containers for a certain period on
each of three successive days. The
bulletin also gives tried and tested
recipes for making jams, fruit but
tors, marmalades, preserves and jel-
lies.
When canning is not feasible or
cans and jars too expensive, drying
offers means of saving large guam
titles of surplus products which 60 to
waste each year. Drying also affords
way of conserving portions of food
too small for canning. Drying may
be done in the sun, over the kitchen
stove, or before an electric fan.
Farmers Bulletin 841 tells just how
to do this, using one Of the driers now
on the market or homemade appara-
tus.
These bulletins are sent out upon
request by the Division of Publica-
tions, United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c. Send
for some copies for yourself and tell
your neighbors about them. Fruits
and vegetables preserved in any Of
these ways will help you In planning
your three meals q day next winter.
