4 HEALTH WRECKING JOB.

Senator Cummins collapsed last
Saturday while making speech at a
Republican Club in New York City
and was removed to a hospital.
The Senator was trying to explain
the part taken by him in helping to
defeat so much legislation during the
closing days of the last congress.
The Senator's motives may have
been ever so good, very many want
to believe that they were good, but
his conduct pleased no one, except
possibly himself and the enemies OF
his country. His attempts to explain
doubtless brought home to him the
loneliness OF his position and rem
dered his explanations a health wreck
ing job.

juice should be added in excess Of the
amount in the tomatoes canned.
Add Sugar and Salt.
In addition to the liquor, a mixture
Of sugar and salt adds greatly to the
flavor of such products as tomatoes,
peas, Lima beans and corn. The mix
ture recommended by the government
specialists in canning is composed OF
one-third salt and two-thirds sugar.
Two level teaspoonfuls of this are
placed in No. 3 can and one teaspoon
full In No. can. For beans, okra,
cauliflower, etc, brine containing PA
ounces Of salt to gallon Of water is
used. For asparagus heavier brine,
four ounces to gallon Of water, Is
needed.
In order to conserve the supply of
tin cans, 1t is strongly urged that all
products intended for home use should
be put up, whenever possible, In glass.
The hermetic type of jar. however, Is
not a suitable one for Intermittent
processing, for which the best type Is a
glass-top jar with wire clamps. The
clamps should be raised at the begin
ming Of each processing to allow for
expansion.

FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLIES
out Sugar and Made Into jelly
at Any Time.

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
Fruit juices for use later In jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellles at
the housewives convenience. This en-
ables her to do with fewer jelly glasses
and to distribute her purchases of SUI
gar for jelly making through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled juice she
can make greater variety OF jellies,
as juices which will not jell can be put
up when the fruit is ripe and combined
later with fruits that will jell. or fruits
ripening at different seasons can be
combined. For example, the juice Of
Strawberries, cherries, or pineapple
can be kept without sugar and later
when apples are plentiful can be made
into combination jelly.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as If jelly
were to be made at the time Cook
the fruits until they are soft and
strain out the juice through flannel
bag. Heat and pour while hot into
bottles previously scalded. FIJI the
bottles full, leaving no air space be-
tween juice and cork or seal. Place
the filed sealed bottles on their sides
In water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thir-
ty minutes. Make sure that the corked
or sealed end Is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool cover
the cork with paraffin seal. Thor.
ough sterilization and sealing are alb.
solutely essential to success.

The labelling should be done with n

ACADEMY WINS CLOSE CAME
Only Score Made When Heneault Blocked Punt Behind Wndhan's Goal Line-Referee Gave N F. A. a Touch down When Ball Went Of Side-Oat and Counihan Player Spectacular Game.

 WTlimantic, in one Of the hardest fought games of this season, the Acad- emy team from Norwich defeated Windham High by the score of TO. Both teams played hard from the start but the Windham team was clearly outclassed. The weather was cold and a strong wind was blowing in the first half that slowed up the playing con- siderably. All of the Academy back field were consistent ground gathers, especially Eastwood on end runs and Bennett and Wilcox in line plunging. Counihan, R. Wilcox and Henault played a fine game on the line. Sum- ner and Robinson starred for Windham al both offense and defense. The Academy's lone score came in the third quarter when Henault broke through and blocked a kick back of Windhams S goal. Oats kickoffs for the Academy were especially good, being over 40 yards against the wind. Wjndham was somewhat handicapped when Tucker had to be taken out at the end of the first quarter. Kenyon took his place in the backfield and Adams took his place at end.
 A large delegation of Academy stu dents, mostly girls, attended the game. The conduct of the Windham crowd was especially unsportsmanlike. When ever there was any dispute over some technical point they swarmed on to the field and tried to drown out the Acad- emy side of the argument with a lot of noise. The game by quarters fol- lows:

Army Ends Season With Victory.

The Army wound up it's football sea son Saturday by beating the Boston College eleven IS to 7. The game was hard, but cleanly fought, and was won in the last minute of play. Oliphant starred for the cadets and scored all the Army's points. Half dozen times he got away for long dashes.
 Boston College put up the stiffest opposition the Army has encountered this year. Charley Briclxley, the for mer Harvard star, had a we'll eleven, which made up in fight and speed what it lacked in weight
 In the final period tEe collegians' coach demonstrated with the officials over a decision and walked onto tine field during the argument. This cost his team a penalty of 15 yards, which put the ball on the two yard line Oli- phant damned through for the score which won the game. A moment later the whistle ended the fray.
 Bull Vandegraaf. former Alabama university star, who was in the last half of the game for the first time in eight weeks. played a S!ashing game at tackle for the cadets. Fitzpatrick's bunting was the best seen on the Army gridiron in years. His kicks Saturday averaged 60 yards and were perfectly timed.

PENN WINNER OF
 CROSS COUNTRY RUN
Quakers Have Best Team, But Ivan
 Dresser, Cornell Man, Leads Field.

Cornell was shorn of the honors held for many years being able to pro- duce the best cross-country runners among the collegians when the team won the intercollegiate championship run Saturday over the national six mile course at Van Cortlandt Park. Corne1l's runners. under the tuterage of Jack Moakley, have been so sue cessccll in the past that nearly every one has felt that it just meant the running of the race to see the Cornell colors in front. This year it was different, though Because Cornell was beaten some of the adherents of the Ithacan college blamed it on the war. The war probably hit Penn sylvania just as hard, still the Qua!< CTS had 8 team that was a good one all the way, and won on merit that would undoubtedly have given Cornell all the argument it would like at any stage
 While the Cornell team was unable to win the championship Ivan c. Dress CT who won the individual honors for home in handy fashion and showed his heels to the field in no uncertain manner He took the lead at the start and just romped away ahead of sion of the first lap he h5 a lead of nearly two hundred yards, covering the first half of the journey in 16 min ues, 19 seconds. The Pennsylvania runners were well up and gave prom ise of coming through.
 Glover, McHale and Cummings were all well up and close on the heels of the winner. The Penn team main- tained it's combination in good style all the way, and that was what won for them. It was the first time that Pennsylvania had ever won a cross country championship, and it was a big feather in the cap of Lawson Robert son, well known athlete in New York rr,to fIN T+ was only the fourth time in nineteen years that Cornell was defeated for the cross country championship. The team that won was made up of novices Lawrence Glover, the first man in for Pennsylvania, just graduated from the. novice class. He won a two mile race for novices last summer; and that was the best that he had ever done.
 lead, is an Ithaca boy. and he ned evidently developed his. legs on tha hills of that town He was far and away the best of the field, and if he had been pressed he probably could have made better time. As it was though, his performance was a very creditab1e one. It would be difficult to compare it with other races over the course, because there was a shift in the running. The competitors got T little taste of war conditions because they were obliged to go through barbed wire entanglement. That both cred a lot of the runners. but not the winner.
 The freshman race, which was stag ed just before the varsity event, was an easy victory for Dennis O,Con- fell of Harvard. The old time Exeter boy had things all to hemself, and was looking so good that he seemed a pos sibility as a winner of the big event, if he had been allowed to run The freshman race was only half of the varsity course. ,O'ConneIl srornped home an easy winner in 1G minutes, l..
