The Cellar.

The cellar must be thoroughly venti-
lated to secure health in the home, and
for this purpose the windows ought to be
kept open through the day, especially
during the hot, dry weather. 1t is not
healthful TO live over damp or musty
smelling cellar,
Don't use your cellar as storehouse
for any vegetables except potatoes and
apples. Keep it as clean as the rooms
above. 1t should be swept at least once
week Remember that foul air in the
cellar is sure to find its way to every
part of the house.
Windows that are hung on hinges can
be opened their entire extent. If too
high to be easily reached, an old chair
or box strong enough to bear ones
weight should be kept under each one,
and strong catch for holding the win
dow up will be found necessary, There
should be strong wire netting out
side, so that no animal may enter, or
leaves and rubbish blow in.
There is no part of the house where
greater vigilance is needed than in the
cellar.

Waukesha, Wis, June 23.-An investi-
cation was begun yesterday into the

me-" Miss Lusk wrote as she lay dying
in the Waukesha hospital.
Miss Lusk was u teacher in the teach
ers' training department of the Wauke-
sha high school. She was AZ years old,
A year ago Mrs. Roberts sought to have
her dismissed az an unfit person to teach
in the public schools, but the charges,
which never were made public, were dis
missed. Since then the women had been
unfriendly.
Mrs. Roberts was summoned to the tel
ephone Thursday by Miss Lusk, who
asked her to call at the home of Mrs.
Blanca Mills, with whom Miss Lusk
boarded. Mrs. Roberts went to keep the
and when DR.. Roberts, for
mer state veterinarian, heard where she
had gone, he followed her.
As he entered the house, he saw Miss
Lusk at the head of the stairs with re-
volver in her hand. He dashed out of the
house and summoned the chief of police
and physician When he arrived they
found Mrs. Roberts dead with bullet in
her head.
The three men tried to persuade Miss
Lusk to lay down the revolver, but she
pointed it at them and ordered them to
Keep away from her. Then she put the
revolver to her head and fired. She rolled
Town the stairs to the feet of the three
men and was taken to the hospital
She later recovered consciousness and

police of notes she had written to her
parents, which it is thought will explain

SAVE HOME GARDEN SURPLUS.
Plans for Conserving Vegetables Not
Eaten Fresh Should Be Made Now.

| Washington, ID. c., June 23.--The crop
OF vegetables from home gardens prom
ises to be unusually large in practically
all sections Of the country this year, says
the United States department of agri-
culture in statement just issued. Home
gardeners, therefore, it is pointed out,
should begin now TO plan so that the
products raised by them will be used to
the best possible advantage, without
waste.
There is likely to be an unusually
large production of vegetables from small
home gardens in most communities this
year." says the statement. "Home gar
deners, therefore, should lay their plans
carefully so that they will be in a posi-
ton at the appropriate time to make eff
cient use OF their garden produce, both
by immediate consumption and by pres
ervation by canning, drying, or in other
ways, so that no good food will be vast
ed.
"A very material saving can be effected
in the food bill in many instances by
having the meals consist more largely of
the fresh home grown vegetables and
less extensively of the on-perishable
foods bought from grocery stores. BY
following this plan, also, garden owners
will relieve somewhat the demand for the
non perishable foods.
Even with liberal use in the family
diet in fresh state, however, there will
be considerable surplus of vegetables
from many home gardens. These should
be saved in some way. Canning is the
method most usually employed, but it is
possible that cans and jars cannot be
in sufficient quantities this year
to pack the surplus perishables. In such
cases many products easily can be pre-
served by drying.
"By this method surplus water is driv-
en- off by placing sliced products on
trays in the sun, over a stove or before
an electric fan. The dried foods can be
kept perfectly in paper bags or boxes |
sufficiently tight TO exclude insects. |
Soaking in water win bring the products
back practically to their original texture |
and they may then be cooked like fresh |
"In putting up vegetables and fruits
'or future use the home gardener may
ind the following suggestions useful:
IF you can obtain cans and jars only
n limited numbers, can tomatoes and
,ther vegetables which cannot be dried
,asily, and such fruits as you prefer in
/ juicy form. Wherever possible concen-
rate suceulent foods, such as tomatoes.
Preserve or jam the fruits and ber
les which you prefer in that form, and
tut them in glasses sealed with paraffine
n in wide -necked bottles.
'Put fruit juices in ordinary bottles.
DRY practically any common vege-
able except asparagus, egg plant, rad
shes, lettuce and the like, and most
ruits except strawberries and native
rapes. The more important of the vege-
ables that are usually dried are sweet
orn, snap and string beans, shelled
cans. shelIed peas and the root crops.
'omstoes though consisting in large part
{ water are dried successfully by many
immigrants from southern Europe.
IF a considerable number of cans or
,rs are-at your disposal so that vege-
ables may be canned be sure to include
ne more nutritious such as green beans
nd peas"

TAKE FIELD
HOSPITALS
American Surgeons And
Nurses Installed in Six
Bases in France
ALSO WORK IN THE
FORWARD POSTS
These Are Close Beneath
the Firing Lines of Armies
Engaged in Fighting

London, June 23.--Within the last fort
night American hospital units have qui-
city taken over six great British field
hospitals; each having an emergency ca
pacity of 1000 patients. The transfer
was made smoothly, and the Americans
are working in the forward casualty
clearing stations as well as in the hospi-
tails. First into the line was the Cleve-
land unit known as United States base
hospital No. a, organized by DR.. George
w, Grille, and with Major Gilchrist of
the United States army as commanding
officer. DR.. Harvey Cushing's Harvard
unit, with Major r. w. Patterson com
has taken over British general
hospital No. IL. For service in the cas-
ualty clearing stations during the first
few days of great battles, each Ameri-
can staff has organized a mobile unit.
Some of the general hospitals are series
of huts, Others are tented wards; both
kinds are described as models of field
comfort and conveniece." The sites were
selected by the British with the utmost
care and all the experience of three years
Of war has been lavished upon the de-
velopment. Operating theatres, splendid
Iy built, seem to be most complete in
their modern surgical equipment. Amer
can surgeons gave valuable aid, both in
he hospitals and the forward casualty
Hearing stations during the battle of
Messines. They were impressed by the
xarmness of the British welcome, and
hey are rapidly acquiring the British
iabit of afternoon tea, which doctors
md nurses take every afternoon with the
