ARIZONA.
TWENTY YEARS IN THE Office
Has Made A Record Held BY No 9th

business in Nogales, succeeding his
brother-in-law, John E. Johnson. Mr..
Johnson has built up a splendid bust

ton opened on Monday.
Every registration certificate in the
county will expire on August 20. Vot-
tiers in the Ninth district, in the Third
district and in the Seventh district
must register now or they cannot
vote in any sort Of an election. In
the remaining seven districts of the
county registration has been formally
abolished.
There has never been less general
interest in the municipal campaign
with the election date so near as is
shown this year. Only little more
than two months from now the voters

six aldermen and yet the question Is
very seldom mentioned. Neither the

HOUSEWIVES OF NEBRASKA
ADOPT THIS
METHOD.
Several Community Drying Plants
Have Been Established in To-
This State.
Specia Ito The Herald.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 15.-
The housewives of Nebraska have
found way to save the full value Of
the food product for their own con.
sumption during the winter instead
Of selling it at a sacrifice, or, as has
happened in many instances, letting
it perish, and then buying at record
prices in the winter.
According to a report to the In
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture from Director C. W. Pugsley OF
the Nebraska Extension Service, sew
eral community drying plants have
been established in that State. The
housewives take their surplus fruits
and vegetables to them, and for a
minimum charge, covering cost OF
operation, their produce is dried.
This food is put away in containers
on the pantry shelf and kept for
winter use.
The process simply dries the water
out of the fruits and vegetables by
suction. When the food is to be
used, water is added. 1t is then said
to be practically the same as tn :
fresh product.
The drying plants are located in
churches, schools, rooms OF the
County Council of Defense, or base
ments of libraries. The plants are
operated either by some community
club already organized, or by club
organized especially for the work.
At North Lincoln, Nebraska, the
driving plant was donated by the no
tary Club; at Fremont, community
drier is operated by the Commercial
Club: at University Place, by the
City improvement Club, at Omaha,
bv the Public Welfare Club; at Col
lsge View by the Community Club
At each place they hire a caretaker
and pay her by the hour to look after
the work.
There is scarcely fruit or vege-
table that has not been brought by
the women to the community plant
for drying. At che of the plants be
sides drying fruits and vegetables, the
women have been preparing noodles
Wills eggs are cheap. One woman is
drying a large quantity OF wild
green's. composed of nettles and
thistles.
The United States Department Oh
Agriculture endorses the drying OIL
fruits and vegetables as a helpful
means of conserving large amounts
Of products which would otherwise
90 to waste, and is working, through
i.s extension service, to promote this
TYNE of food conservation.

it is possible that those who have
talked so loudly in favor of war, will
have an opportunity inside of 80 or go

Yes, I am more interested in this

Washington, D. c., March 27,-Many
home gardeners are asking the special

vegetables in the open ground while
there is still some likelihood of light

the specialists have worked out the fol-
lowing grouping Of common vegetables
according to their ability, IL planted in
the open, to withstand spring frosts.
These directions, of course, do not APP
ply to the planting of seeds in hotbeds
or seed boxes to secure plants which
afterwards are to be transported.
Group /. Plants not injured by a light
frost. These may be planted as heavy
frosts are over, or usually as soon as
the soil can be put in good condition.
Cabbage, Irish potatoes, early peas,
(smooth types as distinguished from
wrinkled), onion sets, salad crops, such
as kale, spinach, mustard.
At the same time start in seed boxes

Prot. Hertzog Praises
This Perfect La1dtiOe
Dr. CdldwelPs Syrup Pspsin
an Ideal Remedg for
Constipation

In every family there is more or less
occasion for laxative remedy. 1t is to
meet this need that DR.. Ca1dwelps
Syrup Pepsin Is prepared, and that this
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin fulfills its purpose is prov
en- by its place in thousands of Amer
lean homes.
Prof. r. ]. C. Hertzog,. the well
known nnguist. 2341 North Orianna ST..
Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to DIR. Caldwell
that he has used DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin in his household with excellent
results and that he and his family
consider it indeed friend in need, and
always keep a bottle Of it on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause Of
much serious illness and is a condition
that should never be neglected. Harsh
cathartics and violent purgatives
should never be employed to relieve
constipation, because the very violence
of their action shocks the entire sys-
tenn. A mild laxative, such as DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is far preferable,
being mild and gentle in its action,
without gripping or other pain or dis
comfort; its freedom from all opiate or
narcotic drugs makes 1t an ideal rem
edy for children.

IL your garden is small, do not at
