UnskilIed Labor

1t is surprising 10 learn the large
percentage of unskilled labor to be
found in the world today. and appal-
ling when one thinks OF the tremen-
dous demand for men with trades.
There has never been a time when
the need was so great. While de-
structive mind has planned the down
fall OF the nations, creative mind
must build up that which has been
destroyed, and with the coming OF
the renaissance there must be, not
only minds to plan, but skilled hands
to build.
1t is a great mistake for young
men to overlook the necessity OF
having a trade. Often when a boy
leaves school, instead Of spending
two or three years in preparation, he
takes the job which offers him the
most money. Ordinarily the wages
paid the apprentice are small, the
laborer often receiving more for his
work. But in the end who is better
fitted to meet the battles of life?
In the course of time the appren-
tice becomes an artisan. He is in
demand because his mind is trained
and his hands skilled. He has no
trouble keeping a job, and can de-
mand short hours and good wages.
The laborer plods on through life at
about the same gait which he star
ted. In times of business prosperity
he is given a fair reward for his
work, in days of depression his wa
ges are greatly decreased, and in
most cases he is discharged. There
is no certainty about his income, and
he and his family worry out an eXis-
tence which could have been preven-
ted, had the head of the house a
trade to depend upon.
Surely this is the day of the me-
chanic Every industry is calling
loudly for help in order that it may
thrive. The Government is demand
ing shipbuilders. There must be
transports and men to run the
transports The ships alone will
avail nothing il men to run them
cannot be obtained.
Everywhere one hears the call and
the echo for skilled men, and our
advice to the young men of this
community is to prepare yourself for
the walk of life you are to tread in.
There is a pathway for all, and if
you are sure of the way you follow,
it will lead to success; but if you are
feeble of mind and hand, you will
likely choose the road of IMPROVE
dence and disappointment which is
travelled by the class which knows
neither advancement nor ambition. ;

First Woman Doctors.

The first woman admitted to the
Ecole Medicine, the famous Paris med
ical college, who also the first to be-
come q member of the New York Acad-.
envy of Medicine, was DR.. Mary Put
nam jacob, who was born in London
seventy-five years ago. She was the
daughter of George P. Putnam, the
New York publisher, and studied in
several American schools before TAX
ing her degree in Paris in 1871. Two
years later she became the bride of
DR.. Abraham jacob, a native of Ger
many, who fled that country when
charged with thigh treason" for par
ticipation in a German revolutionary
movement, and, settling In New York.
became one of the most distinguished
of American physicians. DR.. Mary;
Putnam jacob was prominent in the
profession as professor and hospital
physician until her death in 1906. The
first woman physician in America was
DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell, a native of
England, who received her degree OF
M. D. in 1949, and later returned to
England to practice her profession. :

lIodesh

When every pool in Eden was a mir
rOr
That unto Eve her dainty charms
proclaimed,
She went undraped without single
fear or
Thought that she had need to be
ashamed
Twas only when she'd eaten of the
apple
That she became inclined to be
prude,
And found that evermore she'd have
to grapple
With much debated problems of
the nude.
Thereafter she devoted her attention
Her time and all her money to her
clothes,
And that was the beginning of con-
ventiOn,
And modesty, at least, SO l sup
pose.
Reactions came about in fashions re-
cent;
Now girls conceal so little from
That is would seem, to get back to
the decent,
Some serpent ought to pass the
fruit again.

To Water Consumers

We, the undersigned Directors of
the Dorchester Water Company, take
this means to notify the public that
the action of enforcing the rule for
collecting water rents in advance was
the unanimous action of the Board.
This action was absolutely necessary,
as we found it impossible to make
collection by collectors, and many
customers were using the water with
out paying for it, and as the Public
Service Commission compels US to
treat all alike, we had to enforce the
rule that would apply, not only to
those who were not paying, but also
to those customers who have always
paid promptly.

A Lifting Hope

There is no prison of the mind
Deaths sting is drawn when we
can say,
'Visions and dreams alone can bind
Tomorrow's hope with yesterday"
The violet lifting lovely head,
The red, red rose blushing fair,
Grew best in cities of the dead
And from the grave of mans de-
spair.
There is no prison of the mind
There's no death when the sting
is drawn;
Prisoner or prince, dream On and find
Your darkest hour before the
dawn.

Canning Talk


Conservation's in the air.
It's our daily song and prayer;
We dry peach and put up pear,
Saving something everywhere.
We conserve the coal supply,
Bake poor apples into pie;
Can the good ones (you and y,
And we'll eat them by and by.
Conservation is no bluff,
Conserving food and fuel stuff;
Everything both smooth and rough
So Well always have enough.
Eat corn pone to save the wheat,
Save on pork and other meat,
Sparing everything we eat
Till all eating is treat.
Short cut corners when we walk,
When we write conserve our chalk
But there comes time we balk;
We never will conserve our talk.

WASHINGTON. Aug. Elm this
article we outline some Of Uncle
Sans ideas on drying methods for
various products.
In drying sweet corn. select very
young. tender corn and prepare II
right after gathering. Cook in boiling
water two TO five minutes, cut kerr
nels from cob with sharp knife. not
cutting bits Of the cob Spread thinly
on trays and place to dry. Stir il oc-
cosionally till dry. Dry in oven 10 TO
10 minutes and finish drying the
sun A pound of dried corn to a dozen
ears is a good yield. After dry, pack
In cartons a few days for condition
Ing.
Select string or snap beans In ideal
table condition. Wash, remove stem,
4 tip and strings. Cut or break into
/ pieces ID to 1 inch long. Or run them
through the slicer. Very young, ten
der beans will dry whole Cut your
beans rather than snap them. Thread
/ them into necklaces on coarse. strong
thread and hang over stove or In the
sun. Dry young beans two hours, old.
er ones three hours. Wax beans are
dried In the same manner. Condition
them as you do corn.
For lima beans, tske them from
pods. remove surface moisture and
/ dry from 8 to IL hours. This same
method answers for other beans Il
also includes COW peas or other field
peas.
Dry young. tender okra pods whole
Older pods should be ctr into IA incl

string beans and hung over the stove
II so dried, heat in oven before hang
ing up.
Peppers may be dried by splitting
on one side, removing seed drying fl
the air and finishing the drying in tn,
drier at 40 r. A more satisfactory
plan Is TO place peppers in biscui
pan in oven and heat until skin bis
tiers, or steam until skin softens, thei
take out seed and dry at 10 TO 40 F
For beets and turnips select young
tender, quickly grown ones. Wash
peel. slice about is inch thick an,
dry Slice carrots lengthwise, avoid
ing those with large. Voody cores
Parsnips. kohlrabi. celeriac and sal
sify are handled the same way.
Select mature onions, remove pa
perry covering. cut OFF tops and roots

quickly. Store in a light-proof con
tainer TO avoid discoloration Leek
are so handled also
Select well developed cabbage re

should DO conditioned.
