COLD PACK CANNING A SUCCESS

The people of the United States have
responded to the call for food conserva-
tion and as a result there are now one bill
lion cans of food in storage in the homes
of this country. The campaign to pro-
duce one and one-half billion cans of food
in the homes next year is already being
made and should be pushed to completion.
"The Cold Pack process of canning has
been in use for five years and not single
death or serious illness has resulted from
the consumption of foods saved accord
ing to its direction" the Office of
Home Economics, States Relation Ser
vice, Washington, D. Z. 1t is the duty of
every sane, thinking person to set at ease
the minds of those in doubt on the food
question because of sensational articles
recently published on dangers of botulisin
from foods canned by the cold pack meth
cd.
The Cold Pack Method of Canning is a
success, there is no danger of botulisin
from foods so preserved and every house,
hold should do all in its power to make
the campaign to produce one and one
| half billion cans of food for the coming
year a success.-U. S. Food Bureau.

DEAL PROMPTLY WITH SPIES.

Not long ago we read that German
was arrested in this country and on his
person were found papers which showed
that he was connected with the German
spy service. The account further stated
that he was to be brought before the
grand jury for indictment. That method
of dealing with spies is too deliberate and
methodical, and we do not recall that it
has many presidents in the war history
of the world. Spies should be at once
tried in military court where there is
little delay either in the trial or in the
infliction of a sentence.
Secretary Baker says the Italian disas-
ter may be blessing in disguise in that
it has taught the Allies that they must
present solid front from the Adriatic to
the North sea. 1t is to be hoped that
this won't prove a case of locking the
door after the horse has been stolen.-

We wish to modestly suggest that the
Ally on this side of the Atlantic is not in
need of camouflaged blessings, but rifles
instead of broomsticks and cannon in
stead of logs. Johnny get your gum"

A Good Idea.

The teachers and pupils of the Grove
street school, Augusta, gave model les
son of supervised play on the school
grounds recently, which was witnessed
by several teachers from the other schools
and by Supt. Perkins.
There are about 100 pupils in this
school ranging from to years of age.
Mrs. Flora Hall, the principal, realizing
the need of something besides rough and
tumble play, with her corps of efficient
teachers, has organized system of play
that is proving very satisfactory and is
an efficient aid to discipline, besides al
lowing the children much more pleasure
from their efforts. The movement is
meeting with the approval of Supt. Per-
kins and will probably be carried to the
other schools journal.

LET RUSSIA ALONE.

The safest policy for those nations
which have already suffered so much by
Russia's detection from the common
cause, in search of strange gods and wor-
ship of false idols, is to let her suffer the
full consequences of her perfidy until suf-
fering has brought her to her senses and
she has given evidence of deserving re-
newal of trust. Aims of low selfishness,
craven desire to shirk perils and priva-
tons, lured her people from the straight
path which her allies are still heroically
treading. She has added intellectually to
their burdens. Her defalcatlon is respon-
sible for the avalanche of Huns now pour
ing down on the Italians plains. Unfor-
tunately some of the heaviest conse-
quences of her craven turpitude must fall
on the shoulders of others, but the inno-
cent victims may in all justice and will,
IT wise, withdraw from her trust so fla
GRAVITY abused and repudiate a fellow
ship which rests on no mutually of feel
ing or purpose. She has rendered to Ger
many in critical hour services of inesti
mable value. Her desertion has, for the
time being, turned the tide of success.
She has forfeited all claim to lenient
judgment. If Germany is the Ishmael
among nations Russia has played the part
of Judas. That she is impotent for good,
brought to that condition by her own sui
cidal course, is no reason why she should
be furnished with further chance to do
further mischief. She is Joined to the
idols that brought ostracism on Ephraim.

EGGS.

Mr.. Hoover says he has put stop to
speculation in eggs. We predict that in
1918 the spectators will industriously
gather in the production of eggs and hold
them for high prices Just as they have
done in the present year. The price of
cold storage eggs in the market at the
present time seems to show that the spec
ulators are still in control of the situa-
ton.

Pittsburgh found West Virginia a hard opponent to beat, while the southern CTS downed the Navy to 0.
