NEWS FROM THE STATE
BOARD OF IMMIGRATION

Inquiry beng received by the State
Board of immigration indicates a
strong desire on the part of the people
of considerable means in all parts of
the country for opportunities to invest
in mining property, where there is
reasonable assurance of at least a
fair income from the investment and
good chance that large profits may
be made. This inquiry has been stim-
ulated by the large profits that have
been made in mining since the be-
ginning of the European war, and is
being made stronger every day by the
prevailing high prices of all minerals,
both metal and non-metal, that are
mined to any considerable extent in
the Rocky Mountain States.
To meet this demand to encour-
age the development of the mining in
dustry in Colorado at time when
conditions are peculiarly favorable,
the Board of immigration is now com,
pleting copy for small pamphlet on
the mining industry and mining pros
poets in the state. 1t will not be a

"BUSINESS AS USUAL"
SHOULD BE OUR SLOGAN

Business As Usual" should be our
slogan. The fact that this country
is at war, and that we are called upon
to meet the great emergencies both
with men and with means, should not
carry tendency to depress business
in any way. On the other hand, the
people generally should see to it that
all business in the various lines goes
on as usual.
We do not believe in impeding the
wheels of progress, but in stimulating
them in every legitimate way. We
will then meet theemergencies with
less sacrifice. Let's have Business
AS Usual. Let's swell the Red Cross
fund; Let's buy Liberty Bonds accord
ing to our means when the next call
comes, and then let US buckle down to
ford and not imagine that we are GO
ing ragged and hungry.
The bank deposits are greater than
at any time in the nations history
and that means that they. are more
money in circulation than ever before
If it is kept circulating our Uncle
Sam will have all the war funds he
needs and our people will continue to
be prosperous.
Business activity does not necess.
arily mean extravaganza, nor foolish
expenditure. 1t simply means the
keeping up the usual activities in all
lines. from the humblest worker to the
greatest producer. 1t means as the
result more available money, higher
wages for the wage Garner, better
markets for the producer and better
condition in the town and in the count.

THE PROCESS OF CANNING
FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR

Washington, D. c., June 2S.-Fruit
for use in pie or salads or as stcwed
fruit can be put up or canned with
out the use of any sugar at all, accord
ing to the canning specialists of the
Department. They, therefore, advise
those who, because of the high price
of sugar, have been thinking of re-
ducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar sirup is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
in the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of sugar sirup. The
use of sugar, of course, is desirable
in the canning of all kinds of fruit
and makes better and ready sweet
ened product. Moreover, most of the
fruits when canned in water alone do
not retain their natural flavor, tex
ture ad color as well as fruit put up
in sirup. Fruit canned without sugar
to be used for sauces or desserts must
be sweetened.
Directions For Canning Fruits With
Can the products the same day it
is picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and
clean the fruit by placing it in a
strainer and pouring water over it
until it is clean. Pack the product
thorough in glass jars or tin cans un-
til they are full; use the handle of a
tablespoon, wooden ladle, or table
knife for packing purposes. Pour
over the fruit boiling water from a
kettle, place rubbers and caps in posi-
tion, partially seal if using glass jars
seal completely if using tin cans
Place the containers in a sterilizne
vat such as a wash boiler with false
bottom, or other receptacle improvised
for the purpose. If using a hot water
bath outfit, process for thirty minutes
count time after the water has reach
ed the boiling point; the water must
cover the highest jar in the container
After sterilizing remove packs, seal
glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in dry, cool
place.

You will dress like Mother Eve.
