TO CAN SWEET CORN

Can as soon after the corn is gath
cred as possible Remove husks and
silk. Blanch by placing in boiling
water for five minutes. Remove and
dip quickly into and out of cold
water. Cut the corn from the cob
and pack directly into hot jars or
cans to within one-quarter inch of
the top. Pour in enough boiling
water to fill the container Add one
level teaspoonful of salt to each
quart. Put rubber rings and caps
of jars into position, but do not
tighten the wire clamps. Seal tin
cans completely.
Place containers on a false bot
tom of wooden Stats or wire mesh in
vessel of water deep enough TO
completely cover the containers.
Keep the water boiling for three
hours.
Remove the jars; tighten covers
tnvert jars to test seal, and cool mot
in draft, as jars might crack.
Tin cans may be placed in cold
water for rapid cooling.
After the containers are cool store
in dark, cool place.
Rapid preparation for canning is
| especially desirable for corn If good
quality of product is to be obtained
The best results can be secured wher
one person cuts the corn from the
cob and another fills the containers
If it is necessary for one person Il
work alone she should cut off sui
ficient corn to fill one jar, pour OF
boiling water, add salt, place tn,
rubbers and caps in position and pu
the jar or container into hot water a
once. The extra cooking which viii
be given to the cans first filled viii
not be injurious and a better produc
will be secured than If the cut corr
were allowed to stand until all jar
were filled.

RUSSIA'S NEED OF STERN CON-
troll.

If the formal appeal delivered by the
executive councils of the allRussian
workmen's and soldiers and peasants
organizations to the Russian soldiers in
the field is fair sample of the kind OF
argument advanced why they should
fight, then there is no wonder that the
average Russian mind Is only slightly
fired by enthusiasm and spurred on to
deeds of valor. The appeal, so-called, is
about the most wishy-washy kind of a
document that has come to notice with
in recent times, starting off with the
gloomy assertion that one of the Rus
sian armies in the field is wavering, con-
tinuing with gloomy foreboding that the
government at home is having trouble in
dealing with internal affairs and ending
in general cloud of uncertainty. There
is scarcely single sentence in the whole
appeal that is calculated to encourage
the Russian soldiers to fight for their
country save the admonition to save
your fatherland," which, one can read
lily see, is not likely to fire the Russian
peasants to patriotic deeds. The writer
of the document would perhaps have
fair success as an essayist along hum
drum lines, but he never would do as an
inspirer of national feeling and national
valor.
Much in contrast to the workmen's,
soldiers and peasants appeal is the
blood and iron" charge made by Pre-
nier Kerensky on the occasion of his
assumption of well-nigh dictatorial pow
,rs conferred on him by that same coun-
ii of workmen's, soldiers and peasants
deputies. Premier Kerensky's declara
ion is of the right stuff, an appeal to
he sentiment of the soldiers and at the
anne time tinctured with a threat that
they do not perform their duty they
'ersonally will suffer the consequences
f their disloyalty. What the average
russian, freed suddenly from the thral-
ON of autocracy, needs is a firm,
uiding hand until he finds himself, so
o speak He is now wandering about

A SUGGESTION TO PARENTS.

The best way TO prevent a general
spreading of infantile paralysis in Barre
is for parents TO keep their children on
their home premises. For some weeks
the malady did not make its appearance
in Barre despite the fact that there were
many cases in adjacent towns, and it
seems certain that the outbreak of the
disease at this late day in the epidemic
was due to laxity of personal move
ments either on the part of Barre people
visiting other communities or in persons
from infected sections visiting in Barre.
AT any rate infantile paralysis has
gained a foothold in the city, and it is
up to the people of Barre to stamp it
out. No parents wish the disease to
make its way into their homes, and to
prevent that possibility they must keep
their children at home and away from
other children for few weeks until the
disease is wiped out. If this is not done,
there is no telling what the result will
be as the weather conditions are partic-
ularly favorable for the spreading of
the malady. Another suggestion is that |
when child shows signs of sickness a
physician be called without delay and |
precautions be taken to isolate the child |
as much as possible. The child may not
have the disease, but it is far better to
be on the safe side.
