CAN YOUR SURPLUS VEGETABLES

The exhortatiOn to can vegetables and

localities, supply the cans and you are
only to pay a trifle over the cost of
cans.

work myself, but younger people should
prepare to do so.
My experience with canned peaches
may be worth while to those who are
new to the business.

and helped nightly. AS you must
sweeten the peaches sooner or later, 1T
is as broad as 1T is long as to when you
apply the sugar to them.
The fruit was carefully packed in the
cans, then the sugar put in; then little
water, then cans placed in boilers where
the tin cans were boiled long enough to
save the fruit. Lastly, the cans were
soldered when the fruit was boiling hot.
The fruit will surely keep that way.

War Sees the u. S. Threatened
By O. Scarcity of Physicians

lantic and gulf ports of the United
States were ravaged periodically by
yellow fever. Through that pestilence
thousands of precious lives were de-
stroyed and immense financial losses
were inflicted by the disease upon the
cities where II prevailed. An army sur
geon-Dr. Reid-while discharging his
duty in Cuba, discovered that yellow
fever was transmitted through partic-
ular variety of the mosquito. Before
his discovery the city of Havana had
not been entirely free from yellow fever
for three hundred years, and from that
breeding ground the pestilence spread
to other ports. Now Havana is as
healthy as any city in the world; yellow
fever no longer scourges our coast cit
les; and precious lives and vast treasure
area no longer destroyed by this pesti-
lence, which formerly walked in dark
ness and wasted at MONDAY. This one
discovery by DR.. Reid has been worth
more in money alone to the American
people than all the medical colleges
have cost the country for the last hun
dred years.
But there are other medical problems
which have not yet been solved, and
which await the patient investigation o.
skillful men. Why should not ambitious
and patriotic young men take up the
studies by which they will be qualified
10 wrestle with these problems? Does
any other field present more inviting
opportunities for serving the country
and blessing mankind?
Our armies and navy will be recruited
to full strength. America will do brave
ly and unselfishly her part in pacify-
ing the world and purging 1t of those
political principles Of evil which have
brought on the bloody war now raging.
All this is well. But the medical pro-
fession must be recruited rapidly, or
our country will suffer seriously. This
fact is appreciated by the federal au-
thorities at Washington, and it should
be considered by the young men of the
country.
This fact should be considered also
by the next legislature assembled in
the state of Georgia, and the taxation
of the endowments of schools of medi-
cine as we'll as the endowments of all
other educational institutions, should
cease as soon as the constitution can
be amended to that effect. We can not
get good physicians without good
schools OF medicine, and we can not
have strong schools OF medicine with
out ample endowments. The late Chan
cellor Walter B. Hill. of the University
of Georgia, said the taxation of college
endowments was IAN Infamous window
tax upon the human mind" and this
taxation is no~ hindering the education
of physicians for the healing of the
sick of the land. It ought to be re-
moved.
