SHOE REPAIR SHOPS
RUSHED WITH WORN
Footwear of Ancient Vintage Raket
Out for Revamping and
Further Wear

The sharp advance in the price OF
shoes has made the average shoe-re-
pairman's shop look like museum OF
antiquities. The explanation lies in
the fact that wearers of shoes have
been ransacking their garrets and at
tics for footwear, long ago discarded,
which at the prevailing high prices
they believe will pay to have re-
paired.
Moscow shoe repairmen report their
business heavier than ever before, and
they attribute this fact to the gen
eral disposition of the public to make
everything possible out of an old pair
Of uppers. Many shops are handi-
capped for help, owing to the fact that
cobblers are at a premium as army
and navy recruits. AS yet the regular
force in the local repair shops have
been able to handle the rush OF worA,
but the shops are now taxed to their
capacity.

RUSSIAN AND GERMAN SOLDIERS
MIX ON THE EASTERN
FRONT

PETROGRAD-Tie is a virtual
armistice along the entire Russian
front. Not a shot has been fired on
the Austro-Russian front in over a
month. There is no real activity in
the German-Russian sector In many
places the Russian and German sol
diers are fraternizing, meeting un-
armed in mo Mans Land"
So general had this fraterniZing be-
come, and so completely was the fight
ing spirit subdued, that General
Gourke, the Russian commander on
the NIinak front, formally warned his
troops to beware of German ruse.
1t is contended that the Germans
friendliness is part of their plan to
obtain informatio of Russian condi-
tons.

that four of the new vessels could

The homecoming specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture urge
every housekeeper to save bottles
especially wide-necked ones-for put
ting up fruits, preserves, jellies, jams
and fruit juices. Saving of bottles
is highly important, they say, as there
theratens to be a serious shortage of
regular jars and preserving cans this
season
For Saving Emit .-....-.--
The fruit products named, if sealed
with corks and paraffin, con be kent
perfectly in these makeshift contain
ers. Jellies, jams and preserves can
be kept in ordinary drinking glasses,
by the use of paper and paraffin Fruit
juices should be packed in ordinary
small-necked bottles.
Vegetables, soups and meats, on the
other hand to keep must be sealed by
the usual fruit-jar or tin-can packing
methods. Reserve regular containers
for foods that can not be packed in
bottles.
Dry Stuff, Too
The specialists are also urging all
members of canning clubs and others
not only to can products, but to dry
and evaporate all such products as
apples, pumpkin and squash. They
advise strongly that if containers are
scarce locally, those in stock should
be used to preserve perishable prod
ucts which have the highest nutritive
value. Nothing should be packed in
jars or cans which can be conserved
effectively in other ways
Save ALI Cans
Candy containers or other glass jors
VI ith screw tops or glass shoppers, and
in fact any receptacle of glass, crock
cry or porcelain, can be sealed with
cork or paper and paraffin.
Large tin canisters or tin cans with
removable covers, provided the body
of the container is air and water tight,
will be found useful in canning GER
tain fruit products. Such containers
can be sterilized and their covers
Theoretically sealed in place with
solder m. WAY
