CONTINUE HUNT FOR 7
ESCAPED PRISONERS

Guards and trusted inmates Of the
New Jersey reformatory near Rah-
way are exerting every effort to nab
the seven prisoners who escaped
from the institution within the past
week. John McDonough, of Sewar-
en-, Is claimed to have been the lead
er of the gang of three first to es-
cape. John J. Riley, No. 4,S77; John
Brown, No. 1870; Arthur Mills, No.
s,270, and Harry Doremus. No. s,057,
escaped about noon yesterday.
The quartet who escaped yesterday
copied McDonough's idea to a certain
extent. They made an improvised
ladder OF rope, rags and such other
desirable things as they could lay
hands on and then used 1t to scale q
wall In an isolated and unguarded
spot. 1t was in a similar manner that
McDonough and two others took
French leave a few days ago.
Valentine Afflerbach, formerly of
this city. now in charge of a boys
institution near Newark, reported
yesterday afternoon that Daniel
Graham, an inmate, had escaped.

AID UNCLE SANS
SUPPLY OF FOOD
Some Hints to Conserve Food
and Help United States to
Win the War.
BY GEORGE MARTIN.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 3.-Before going
on to tell something about Uncle Sam S
methods of preparing foods for the
drying process, we want to stop long
enough to advise you that you can get
the Home Drying Manual, published
by the National Emergency Food Gar
den Commission, by writing to the
commission at 210 Maryland building,
Washington.
This manual will give you a great
deal more detail about drying than
this series of articles, which Is mere
ly intended to give you the principal
facts about the drying system.
Your meat grinder. your kraut slic-
er and your hand chopper will do ad-
mirably to prepare the foods you want
to dry. The slicer will cut large vege-
tables. such as potatoes and cabbages,
into thin strips. Then there is ro-
tary hand slicer which you can buy
that will help a lot.
If you don't want to buy these
things, use a sharp kitchen knife.
Slice the foods thin, but not too
thin. From an eighth to a quarter
of an inch Is about right for most
foods to be sliced.
If they're sliced thicker than this
they dry slowly and badly; and II
thinner, they lose flavor. Be exceed
ingly careful of the slicing machines.
as they cut fingers very readily.
Cleanliness Is as necessary in pre-
pairing food for drying as 1t is in pre-
pairing food for canning-perhaps
more so.
Have your knives clean so they
won't discolor the food An earthly
smell and flavor will cling to root
crops II they're not washed. One de-
cayed root will disf1avor several ket-
ties of soup.
High grade dried root products
can be made only from peeled ma
terial
Some housewives prefer to blanch
their vegetables before they dry
them. This is all right, but not alb
solutely essential.
They claim it more thoroughly
cleans them, removes the strong
odors and softens and loosens the
fiber so that the moisture in the
vegetables can evaporate more uni
formly and quickly.
1t is said to coagulate the albumin
holding the flavor. Blanching con-
sists of plunging the vegetable into
boiling water for short time. Use
wire basket or cheesecloth bag for
this
After blanching the required num-
Der of minutes, drain we'll and re-
move surface moisture from vege-
tables by placing them between two
towels or by exposing them to the
sun and air. whole, for short time.

DR.. LA ROES STORY
MOST INTERESTING.
Has Large Audience at YIN.
C. Adrian Lyon Pleads
for Battery Recruits.

DR.. Arthur LaRoe had an interest
ing story to tell before large audience
at the Y. M G. A. last night when he
outlined his experiences in the hospi-
tails of France. Having a great wealth
of stories. some sad, some arnsing
and others startling, his talk created
profound interest among his hearers.
At the close of DIR. LaRoe's talk,
Adrian Lyon spoke in behalf of the
battery of field artillery now being
recruited in this city, he urging the
men present to enlist in the local
company.
DIR. LaRoe in relating his expert
ences in the war hospitals of France,
started from the first of his medical
career: how after he was graduated
from the Jefferson Medical College at
Philadelphia, he decided to go to war
stricken France and aid In saving the
lives of the wounded soldiers He
traced his experiences from the sail
to France, the trip to Paris and the
difficulties in reaching the hospital
where his labors were to start.
The Doctors description of the hos
pital system of France was most in
teresting. He traced the career of q
wounded soldier from the time he was
wounded and taken to the field hospi-
tai, until he was treated in one of the
institutions away from the battle line
and either cured and sent back to
the front or ordered back to civilian
life. He gave accounts OF several of
his patients. some told with touch
of pathos and others to show the fine
spirit and humor of our French allies,
who, though badly wounded and lay
ing for months in bed, show courage
that is almost beyond belief
From DIR. La Roe's description
there are many wonderful characters
in the French army service fighting
with US to- make the world safe for
democracy.
DR.. La Roc also related experiences
while in one of the big hospitals in
Paris. 1t was there, he said, that the
most interesting cases came his way.
He told stories of how the soldiers
were wounded, some of them laying
on the battle fields for hours before
medical aid arrived. The endurahce
of the soldiers is most wonderful, ac-
cording to the doctor.
That DIR. LaRoe was very popular
with the wounded soldiers is shown
by the number of tokens of respect
and esteem given him at the hospitals
In France. He had many interesting
curios of the battlefields, such as
French and German helmets, shells,
etc. The German helmet had q hole
clean through 1t, and the doctor sur
missed that the Teuton whose head
was in the headgear is not alive to-
day.
DIR. LaRoe expressed surprise at
the fact that so many young Ameri-
can men are claiming exemption for
various reasons. He stated that the
present war is just as much our fight
as France or England's.

Washington, Aug. S:-Although
this country is involved in the great
est war known to history and recruit
ing for the First to Fight" III being
conducted lightning fast, the sterling
standards of the Soldiers of the
Sea" must be upheld, 1t was an

Upon hearing the report that a

charged with being drunk to go un-

"Drunkards will not be accepted for
enlistment in the marine corps. We
have been getting the highest class of
recruits and the enlistment of those
who daily too freely with the Demon
Rum would be a serious reflection
upon the service itself and upon the
men who have already enlisted"

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, July 24.-There was
plenty of rain all over this country
last week from Wednesday to Satur-
day night. Some of the rains were
heavy. Early corn will be made by
this good rain and the cotton will be
greatly benefited. 1t won't take much
more rain to finish up the crops.
DR.. Ellerbe, with his Coast Artillery
company, will go into camp here next
Wednesday. The company will choose
camp site if they can find suit
able one. If they can't find a camp
to suit they will camp in the armory
building. 1t is not known just how
long the company will stay in camp
here
Rev. Jesse Lawson of Chesterfield
is visiting relatives in this neighbor-
hood and preached in the Baptist
churc hhere today or rather he filled
Rev. l.. NJ. Rice's pulpit at the school
house. Mr.. Lawson is Jonesville
boy and many friends here who are
glad to see him and hear him preach.
Mrs. Roland Coleman died at the
home of her husband in Ohio last
week and the remains were brought
to Jonesville and buried in the ceme-
terry here. Mrs. Coleman leaves three
small children.
Protracted services commenced at
New Hope church Sunday to continue
through the week. The preaching is
done by Rev. Mr.. Kinard, an evan
gellst, and the singing is to be led
by young man who is an evangelist
singer, and then there is young
blind man who is up on all classical
music and therefore good results are
looked for during the meeting. The
three were all at Jonesville Sunday
night.
The Germans are having a good
deal of unrest in the government of
late and it looks very much like IA
crash might come at any time. 1t
