Joe Alnutt had wonderful luck
fishing the other day. He says he
caught one fish that was so big that
when he pulled him out the water in
the river sunk six inches. But this
has nothing to do with a near catas-
trophe that Joe had when he was ap-
preached by big husky who evil
IDENTIFY was a caretaker of nearby
estate, for he pointed to a sign near
by which read: "Private. No fish

lowed. Gracious, no" Language ad-
iusted by censor), said Joe. "You

He went on fishing again and the big
fellow. almost shaking with rage, ad-
vanced step aggresively and fairly
yelled, "Well, you know what 1t says
now, and what the (more work of
the censor's scissors) do you mean
by going on fishing?" At this Joe
looked up from his fishing and said
in a tired voice, "My dear fellow,
can't you see am not fishing on the
grounds? I am fishing in the river"
The big fellow, broken with disap-
pointment, turned on his heel, or the
ground, Joe didn't say which, and
after walking away a few steps he
flung back over his shoulder. "You

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Often when cooking, a knife will
be used to cut an onion and the smell
will remain for a long time unless
something is done to prevent it.
Draw the knife through a raw car
rot once or twice. This will remove
the odor.
For decanters that have become
stained by wine very good method
is to pour a little vinegar in them.
and also add about teaspoonful of
salt. Allow this to stand for awhile
shaking it occasionally and then
wash in clear water.
The tops of practically all vege-
tables except potatoes are very
wholesome and economical food,
and form an excellent alternative to
the vegetables more commonly used.
The tops should be cooked like other
green vegetables, and the addition
of a little margarine improves them
a great deal.
There is nothing better than am
monia and water for removing
grease spots from the carpet.
The white of an egg when used
instead of water for mixing mustard
poultices prevents the skin from
blistering.

FRUIT and FARm
Save Staple Foods

The great abundance of war gar
den" and truck products in cities and
rural communities offers an immedi-
ate opportunity for consumers local
ly to help better the world food situ-
alton, says the dietary specialists of
the United States department OF ag-
lriculture. Make fresh vegetables and
fruits save staple foods. Eat the
perishable fresh fruits and vegetables
now, while they are most delicious,
and can and preserve them for future
use. The following available fresh
fruits and vegetables may be classi-
fled for this war-emergency diet:
Apples, peaches, pears plums,
blackberries, raspberries. beets, car
rots. potatoes, onions, beans, peas.
sugar corn, tomatoes, cabbage, let
tuce, etc.
Right now there Is an abundance
OF these fresh foods ripening in the
war gardens" of many cities and
rural districts as we'll as on the
farms. Housewives are urged to use
those from their own gardens first
III they have no garden they should
purchase from local markets or farm
ers or neighbors while prices are
low, and not only serve daily but
can, preserve, pickle and dry for
winter use.
Whenever the vegetables named
are available abundantly from home
gardens or can be purchased cheaply
in the markets or from neighbors
their use in the diet to a greater ex-
tent than usual will help food con-
ditions. In keneral, the more simply
vegetables and fruits are prepared
for the table the better but when
consumed in especially large Quanti-
ties It often will be desirable to vary
the dishes.
Although fresh vegetables ordin-
arily are eaten by most persons in
relatively small amounts with more
concentrated foods, such as meats.
eggs, cheese, ETC.. they may. when
eaten in large quantities. take the
place of the more concentrated foods
to certain extent Because Of the

BUILDING UP GOOD WILL.

People who are trying TO get into
business nowadays find they have to
pay a lot for the intangible asset
called good will"-that Is, provided
they get the real thing. You can buy
any old kind Of business and not pay
much more than the stock is worth.
To get a business that is widely
known and has an established circle
of custom, good money must be paid.
IT becomes big problem how anyone
can get that reputation and what he
must pay for it.
There are Just two ways Of Great
ing this reputation so that people
keep coming back to place. One is
to squat down in location and wait
until time and chance bring trade to
you. A man will get some trade that
way, but it is long time coming. 1t
comes by accident and indirection.
Few people start out with the con-
scious purpose of visiting such a
place, but from reasons of proximity
they may happen in. 1t takes big
slice out of lifetime to get trade
simply by waiting passively for it.
The other method costs little
more money, but it produces positive
results within a reasonable time.
That is by advertising. II is the nat
ural human way to get it. Seek and
We shall find, were the words of Scrip
ture.
II is true in every phase Of life.
that what you get must be actively
sought for Human nature does not
take kindly to passive waiting. but it
is attracted by active pushing.
The returns of an advertising cam
paign should not be measured simply
by the receipts from day to day. Peo-
pie who have built up large concerns
never measured their progress that
way. If their advertising was con-
stantly attracting new people into the
store, they knew that a good win was
being built up that presently would
be worth great deal Of money. and
which could be sold for high cash
value If they desired to dispose Of it.

German Railroads
In Bad Condition

Those who do not realize fully the
importance Of railroads to the safety
of the nation should heed the signifi-
cant message brought from Germany
by Raymond B. Swing, special corre-
spondent of the Chicago Daily News:
"The really acute danger for Ger
many" says Swing, "is the German
railway system. Hitherto it has been
Germans greatest strength. the pull
sating arteries of her national anat-
omy. The railways have made 1t pos
sible for the central powers to utilize
their advantage of the inner lines.
But the German railways are giving
way. The roadbeds are rocking, the
cars are wearing out and the locomo-
tives can not haul the loads neces-
sary. Germany can not manufacture
enough locomotives and cars to save
herself. vouchsafe the statement
that the German government would
willingly pay more for 200 American
locomotives than for all the wheat
raised west of the Mississippi last
summer. The government is keenly
aware of the danger"
According to the same authority,
the food problem in many German
cities is not so much food problem
as a transportation problem. Freight
which is not needed for the national
defense is not carried. Passenger
service is uncertain and uncomfort-
able.
The railroads war board was
formed in this country for the pur-
pose Of safeguarding transportation
in this country from the fate that has
befallen the German roads. Cooper
alton of the public is sought in load
ing freight cars to their full capacity,
loading and unloading promptly, and
in the intelligent use of all equip
ment. Public authorities have been
asked to require the railroads at this
time to spend no money for projects
and improvements except as neces-
sary for public safety and the nation
al defense.

Good Way to Can Tomatoes

A good, economical way to can to-
matoes in the south, says the United
States department Of agriculture, is
to pack firm. whole fruits in jar
and fill in the spaces with a concen-
trated tomato sauce. Each quart
jar then will provide whole tomatoes
for salads or baking and a tomato
puree for soups or sauces. The de-
partment's receip is as follows:
Select firm, uniformly red, ripe to-
matoes Of medium size. Put into
traps and lower into boiling water
for one minute. Remove, plunge
into cold water, drain. and cut out
the core with slender-pointed knife
without cutting into the seed cells.
peel promptly and pack into jars. To
each pint add one level teaspoonful
of mixture OF one-third salt and
two-thirds sugar. Fill the Jars with
a thick tomato sauce made by cook
ing the small or broken tomatoes
until tender. Remove the seeds and
skins by straining the pulp-and
concentrate 1t by boiling to about
the consistency of ketchup. Adjust
the rubber and cap, place the packed
jars on false bottom in a vessel
of water which reaches almost to
their tops, and keep at boiling tenn
perature for 25 minutes. Remove
the jars from the water bath and
tighten the covers Immediately.
