How to Wash Them Without Running
Their Colors.
When washing colored summer frocks
at home remember these hints:
To prevent the color running add to
the rinsing water a little vinegar for
mauve or heliotrope, OK gall for brown,
alum for green, methylated spirits for
all shades of lemon or yellow and salt
for blue.
A handful Of salt In the rinsing water
nearly always acts as a preservative
for any shade or color.
Brown holland frocks always pre-
sent a better appearance If washed In
bran water without any soap being
used. Boil a pound of bran in two
quarts of clean warm water and wash
the dress is as many changes Of water
as necessary.
Rinse through cold water and when
half dry iron on the wrong side with
hot iron.
Silk summer blouses want washing
quickly and carefully, one at a time.
Do not wiring the blouses, but squeeze
through two bowls of soapsuds. then
rinse through clear warm water. Pale
colored silks improve by being given
a second rinsing through blue water.
Roll in a towel and iron before quite
dry with a fairly hot iron, keeping a
piece of muslin between the silk and
the iron. A good tip Is this latter. Many
home laundresses ruin silk blouses,
making them yellow. by washing In
very hot water.

Be Kind to Animals.

Boy and girl scouts, Bands Of Mercy
and such organizations are already
pledged to be kind to all creatures.
Every youngster ought to be so mind
ed, equally determined in the matter.
because of the civilizing influences Of
the age and education. Two things are
to be considered-simple humanity and
the better opportunity to get along with
and have control over the pets and
wild creatures that come within your
experiences.

Here Are the Points You Need to
Know About Canning Vegetables and
Fruits For the Wintry Days Ahead of
Us All In Wartime.
Prepared by National Emergency Food
Garden Commission.l
Select sound vegetables and fruit. If
possible, can them the same day they
are picked Wash clean and prepare
them.
Have ready on the stove q can or
pail of boiling water.
Place the vegetables or fruits In
cheesecloth or In some other porous
receptable-a wire basket Is excellent
for dipping and blanching them In
boiling water.
Put them whole into the boiling wa
ter. After the water begins to boil
begin to count the blanching time.
The blanching time varies from one
to twenty minutes, according to the
vegetable or fruit. When the blanch-
ing is complete remove the vegetables
or fruits from the boiling water and
plunge them a number of times into
cold water to harden the pulp and
check the flow Of coloring matter. Do
not allow to stand in cold water
The containers should be thoroughly
clean. 1t is not necessary to sterilize
them in steam or boiling water before
filling them. for the reason that in
the cold pack process both the insides
of containers and the contents are
sterilized The jars should be heated
before the cold product is put in them
Pack the product into the containers,
leaving about quarter Of an inch Of
space at the top.
With vegetables add one level tea
spoonful of salt to each quart container
and fill with boiling water. With fruits
use sirups.
With a glass jar always use a new
rubber Test the rubber by stretching
or turning inside out. Fit on the rub
Der and put the lid In place. If the
container has a screw. turn as hard as
possible. but use only the thumb and
little finger in Tightening it This
makes it possible for steam generated
! within to escape and prevents break
age If a glass top jar is used, snap
the top bail only, leaving the lower
bail loose during sterilization. Tin
cans should be completely sealed.
Place the filled and capped containers
on the rack In the steriliZer. If the
homemade or commercial hot water
bath outfit IS used some authorities In
sist that enough water should be In
the boiler to come at least one inch
above the tops Of the containers and
that the water in boiling out should
never be allowed to drop to the level
of these tops. Begin to count process

leakage. and store. Be sure that nc
draft is allowed to blow on glass jars
as it may cause breaking.
If jars are to be stored where there
is strong light, wrap them in paper,
preferably brown, as light will fade the
color of products canned in glass jars
and sometimes ruin food value.

Barons Snatch First Game From Vols
RAY JANSEN ID JOIN
 LOOkOUTS TODAY
Only One More Man Must Be Released to Cut the
 BarOns to Limit

Ray Jansen, the big outfielder who was sold to the Chattanooga Lookouts Wednesday night by the Birmingham club, departed last night for Atlanta to join the Elberfeld clan. He will play against the Crackers this afternoon.
 Ray came to the Barons this spring from the Pittsburg Pirates as a utility player. He had good batting eye and was fine outfieder, but when Al Ellis and Bill Southworth were added to the local roster Moley discovered that he could not use Jansen. Chattanooga madt 8 bid for the big fellows services, and he will complete the season with the Lookouts.
 Elberfeld Is not with the Chattanooga club at the present, owing to illness. Fred Graff, the third baseman, is in charge of the team Ray will take the place of Dell Paddock the Lookout outfielder who broke his leg few days ago sliding into second base.
 Only one more man must be released by Moley to cut the Barons down to the required limit by May F. Moley has six pitchers on hand at the present and one of these will probably feel the ax

Danny Clark left second with Stark and ran along beside him. Danny scooped up the ball about 20 feet from third base and tagged Dolly, Honest Dan waving him out
 Dolly protested loud and long, claim ing that Clark had held him. Dolly was yelling to Dan about something all the way from second, but the arbiter refused to heed his call and ignored him further when he protested on be- ing called out. It all comes in base ball, Dolly. so cheer up.
 Doc Johnston made a nice play yes terday. Gabby Street, the old reliable. had singled to start the sixth. Wiley Taylor lifted high fly toward first and Doc began to get under the bail. Gabby never left first base, thinking Doc would catch the ball. Much to Gabbys surprise, Doc allowed the ball to fall safe and then tagged the Vol receiver out before he could move.
 It made Gabby feel like piece of Chinese money evidently. as he cer tainly did kick the dirt It was wise play. It kept the pitcher on the paths which would wear him down and 6. hurler cannot run the paths near as well as Gabby. The fans gave Doc a real hand. too
 Fair-minded fans are beginning to line up behind Eddie Mcdonald every daJ. His work around the hot corner is improving daily. Eddie has few enemies like anybody, and he pays no more attention to the handful of fans who always look for the opportunity to find fault with his work than were they gang of bowling dogs. And that's the only way to treat them.
 Eddie has the better class of fans with him and before the season has closed the unpleasant reception some fans give him now will entirely dis appear. He'll steal more bases, score more runs and work the opposing pitchers for more bases on balls than any two men combined on the club Furthermore he'll rank with the lead CTS of the league In these respects He'll easily bat .25o and his fielding will be far better than numerous third seekers in the league.
 We repeat again, he's the logical man for the third base job. And the fans can rest assured he'll be there, too
