 These germs can be Killed by heat. Careful laboratory studies have de- ve-Oped the amount of heat necessary for sterilization and the IergEh Of time for which jars of food should be kept at the given temperature. 1he heat of live steam or of boiling water is sufficient to kill these organisms, and this heat does not have to be main tained for very long intervals. In- stead of the hours 1f ceokfng is the old fashioned way of canning, jars may be sterilized in mort eases in a few minutes.
 There are several methods of ster- iHzation, many of them requiring more or less expensive equipments. The best of all, because it &s the simplest and cheapest, and because it can be done with in1p.ennents in every kitchen is known as the eold-paek canning method It is the method taught in various departments of agriculture and. state universities.
 You can buy expensive equipm ent for coid-pack canning EGif a wash : boiler with tight cover and equipped with a false bottom. wirien even an amateur carpenter can make, will do the trick as quickly and as satisfac- toriiy as any of the costly equipments.

Also devise the means whereby the picture gallery and cozy corner in our local press can be continued in the future a in the past. As a starter the Housing Co. might use the vacant lots they have for sale on Washington street and Laurel Hill for some houses that would be adapted to the wants of the help of the Winchester Woolen mills at Thamesville. By the looks of the men walking around the streets looking for work, the item of labor would not be very hard proposition All that would be necessary would be a few of the insiders Of the Chamber of Commerce to provide the lots .ack- ing, take the money, do the work and also appoint a committee to receive the gold bricks in due form.

THE CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

This Is the week during which President Wilson has called for vol unteers to the number of 10000 for the purpose of filling up the ranks of the regular army and those of the national guard. Such a number could be readily obtained from those = who are to be drafted for war service but it is hoped that they can be obtained otherwise and that being the case they will be ready for participation just that much earlier through-havi the advantage of the training before the draft is made and the help which will come through association with those who are already more or less experienced in the requirements of such service.
 It was not so many weeks ago that from all sections of the country there were those who were anxious to offer, and if reports are true did offer. their services for the purpose of making up several divisions for activity in France. It is true that they desired to go under the command of an ex-president but they were inspired nevertheless by patriotic motives. They had conf dence in the man whom they were will ing to enlist under but over and
 
 of the country and they were desirous Of fighting for it's rights.
 The campaign for volunteers has not resulted in the raising of the reg ular army to it's full war strength. There are gaps yet in the national guard and because this organization is now under federal service the gov ernment must direct the securing of the necessary number
 This work, and the task ought not to be difficult one. will be under taken this week. It affords the op- pore1nfty for those who are still anxious to fight 10 offer their services. to display their loyalty and to get into organizations which will see the earliest service in France Later q much larger army will be raised by drafting but now those who believe in the volunteer plan and those be- yond Gae ages affected by the con- sc-fpE9Cn act are given a chance to do thedr part and it would not be surprising if me desired number was ssSE~d within, if not before the end of the week.

ACTION ON FOOD CONTROL.

Tn a decisive manner the lower house of congress has rendered its decision upon the food control bill. With only five voting in opposition
 i,ereto this emergency measure has been given an suspicious start after a
 tAisy which has been threatening to enoarrass the country from the faii- urc to set in motion the protective measures which are provided for.
 The bill has undergone some amend ing. Efforts in behalf of changes were continued right up to the final moment and particularly important among the latest additions to the measure were the prohibition regeila- tions written into it which forbid the use of any foodstuffs during the war for the making of intoxfcants and the granting of authority to the president to seize at his discretion all stocks of distilled liquors
 The fact that the house has adopt ed the bill in it's amended form does not mean that it is going to have clear sailing in the senate In that body strong opposition has been man ifested for some time to many of the provisions and the senate doesn't usually take it's cue concerning ae- tion from the lower house. For that reason it is likely to be some days before the upper house arrives at decision but it must necessarily be realized that, even though some of the provisions could not be counte- nanced at any other time, emergency action must be taken to meet unusual conditions and certainly a period of war presents that state of affairs.
 The senate will of course make some changes of it's own but it can f1fI @1 hn Af perfecting the law and getting it into operation at the earliest possible mo- ment. This nation Is called upon for big things and through congressional action 1t must see that they are ot- tained. Not only the needs of the a1- lies but the requirements of our own people must be safeguarded and prop CT handling of the food situation is of vital importance.

AUSTRIAN TROUBLES.

The seriousness of the situation in Austro Hungary where the cabinet was forced to resign because of the stand which was taken by the Polish members of the reichsrat has been empha sized by further difficulties At the start 1t appeared to be like the troubles which have been encountered in other countries where cabinet troubles have occurred but when the premier, Count Clam Maritime, was ordered to organize a new cabinet and he reports after making the attempt that he cannot do so the inference must be drawn that there is wide dis sention among the people of that country and even among the leaders.
 While the Polish members of the reichsrat may not be so entirely out of tune with the rest of the ceun- try it is with the Austrian govern ment that they are irreconcilable, and while they may not hold that Austria has treated their people as faarshly as some other governments, if is quite evident that they are thoroughly united in their opposition to the Ger man domination which exists in Aus tTia today, as the result Of which so many of their race have been hanged. They have voiced their dissatisfaction in no uncertain terms. They have brought the trouble to locus by their failure to approve the desired war credits and by clamoring for the ending of the German control. They exercise not little influence and power as is shown by their ability to block government business and the futile attempt to reorganize the gov- ernment along the same lines as in the past
 This taken in connection with the talk in behalf of peace which has been coming from the dual monarchy reveals a situation which must of necessity give the emperor some wor- ry- It is quite evident. despite the ef- forts to prevent 1t. that the Russian revolution has gotten to the ears of those people and that they are vofc- ing their dfssatisfa for them, and in this connection the Poles are not the only ones to be appeased if that empire is Co be kept harmonious

A BEACH STICK

For the convenience of the summer embroiderer there comes a long stick the length of a mans cane, all enam- eled and hand painted and provided with a fancy work bag. This bag is made of cretonne and has two com partments. The bag is attached per manently to the middle of the stick. The practical feature of the stick is that the sewer need not be hampered by her workbag. While she sews the stick will stand firmly in the sand and her bag will be quite high and dry. It is not only at the shore that the stick will be found useful On the lawn it can be employed in a like manner. When the visiting embroid- erer walks homeward she can use her cane very effectively to assist her in taking the necessary steps. Anything that is different being the cry or wo- man fancy workers makes certain the popularity of this innovation.

CANNING LESSONS
Gold Pack.

It is not too early now for the war gardener to begin thinking about can ming his surplus products, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, cooperat- ing with this newspaper in urging food production and conservation.
 Not only the garden surplus should be canned, but when vegetables are plentiful in the markets; the patriotic housewife will help save civic waste by preserving all the vegetables that her purse will allow. If vegetables are high in price the plea is likely to be made that it does not pay to can them. But this year, when every ounce of food saved counts in the great total. cost of preservation should not be taken into consideration as a barrier to thrift. If vegetables are expensive now. think what they will be when the snow flies:
 The average housekeeper: when told to can vegetables. is likely to throw up her hands in despair. This will be because she does not know the latest discoveries of science in food canning. She knows only the old way ing them thoroughly and then packing them in cans. This method is not suc- cessful with most vegetables. It Is not too successful with fruit, as many an housekeeper can testify who has gone to the fruit shelf in winter to find some of her choicest jars moldy. or working. And the old method Is costly, too, because it demands rich syrups and heavily spiced mixtures.
 The latest development in food can ming is by sterilization. Under this system fruits and vegetables, we'll or slightly cooked the case may be. are preserved by a process which kills all germ life in the cans after they are completely or partially sealed.
 It is cheaper and easier to preserve food by sterilization than by the old cooking method of canning, and. more over, it is even easier to put up vege- tables than fruits by this method. In succeeding bulletins will be given t1ac directions for home sterilization.
 Canned foods spoil because bacteria. or micro-organisrIls are put up alive with the food and gradually extend their colonies of descendants. There fore if you can seal food in jars and then by some process kill the germs inside of the jars, the food will keep. The process by which this killing Is

BIRCH BARK LEGGINos.

All who go camping in the summer know the value of leggings or puttees when striking through the woods or climbing difficult trails. An excellent pair of leggings for use in brush and forest and land can be made in a, few minutes from birch bark cut in the woods Select a suitable tree, about six to eight inches in diameter, and cut into the heavy bark to obtain two rolls around the circumference of the tree, taking care not to cut deep enough to injure it. Fit these sections around the legs, leaving six inch DOT tiens overlapping. Trim the bark to the proper shape and soak it in water te soften the grain. Place the bark close to the fire until it curIs. The leggins are then ready for use.

An excellent couch pillow can be made from old silk pieces. These should be cut in narrow strips as for carpet rags, sewed together and wrap ped in small balls. The silk rags are then braided in an ordinary three strand broid just as the braided rag rugs are made. Tho braid is then folded back and sewed, either in a cir cular or oblong form, around and around with overland stitches, so that the surface is flat and smooth. has been sewed for one side of a pill low, the opposite side Is made in the same way.

BAGS GROW IN POPULARITY.

Bags become more and more oran- amental.
 They bear, as a, rule. some relation to the dress with which they are car ried.
 The morning bag of leather or other substantial fabric which assists in bringing home the ornamental trim mings of the family meals by the sen sible souls who go to market, is re- placed in the afternoon by a brocade, satin, or embroidered crepe de chine bag. This conveys cards, purse, powder puff, and a selection of gold trinksts, including a cigarette case.
 Then there is the evening bag, a thing of great and special elegance a.ways at least a collateral relation of the dress.
 We do certainly all belong to the great army of bagwonen.

The Yl - ture of urban transportation nuSt surely be the motor vehicle for the surface and the e-ectric trains under ground. Trolleys will some day begin at the city limits and run their inter urban routes, transferring to the mo- tor bus for city work. The reason for this prediction is obvious at the corner of Main and Fairfield avenue. Holding up the jitney a hundred ya rds car is called to stop again at the crossing by the traffic men. It means simply inconvenience for the public, and further congestion q the point most sorely congested.
