dose of DIR. Bells Pine Tar Honey will
stop the sneezes and sniffies. The pine

the bronchial tubes, the honey sooths-
and relieves the sore throat. The an

HOME CANNING SAFE
No Need to Fear Botu-
ism in Properly Pre-
pared Products.

Washington, Nov. 12-The United States
Department of Agriculture has issued the
following statement prepared by the BAG
teriologists of its Bureau of Chemistry
and the States Relations Service:
There is no danger that the type OF
food poisoning known as 'Botulsm' Will
result from eating fruits or vegetables
which have been canned by any of the
methods recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture, pro-
vided such directions have been followed
carefully. 1t is possible that in number
OF instances the directions were not
strictly followed and that spoilage has
occurred. OF course, extreme care should
be taken to ascertain before eating
canned goods of any kind whether they
are in good condition, and if they have
spoiled they should not be consumed.
I'm case Of any doubt as to whether the
contents of a particular can have spoiled,
the Safest plan is to throw t.away, al
though all danger OF Botulism may be
avoided by boiling the contents of the can
for a few minutes, since the Bacillus
botulinus and the toxin or poison which
it produces are killed by such treatment.
No canned food of any kind which shows
any signs OF spoilage should ever be
eaten. In the cold pack method of can
ming given out by the Department of
Agriculture. only fresh vegetables are
recommended for canning. and steriliza-
ton is accomplished by the following
processes: Cleansing, blanching, cold
dipping, packing in clean. hot jars, add
ing boiling water, sealing Immediately,
and then sterilizing the sealed jars at a
minimum temperature of 2l2 degrees Fab
renheit for one to four hours. according
to the character of the material. Since
the spores of 3. botulinus are killed by
heating for one hour at 10 degrees Fab
renheit according to Jordan's "Bacteriol-
ogy" and other recognized texthooks)
there is no reason to believe that the
botulinus organism will survive such
treatment

The first American Congress-the Con-
'inental Congress at Philadelphia. Sept.
>, l774--was opened with a PRAYER n
the FATHER OF All Countries for guild
ance IN a declaration Of rights. That
prayer, which so few Of us have read.
was recently discovered on the back
OF an old wood engraving by F.. l..
Dyer OF Fairfield, who sent it TO the
kennebec Journal.
This humble supplication was uttered
by Rev. Jacob Duche "a gentleman Of
great eloquence." It was preserved
for future generations in Thatcher's
Military Journal, in its issue Of De-
cember, 1774, and SO well applies at
this time that all the civilized nations
might utter it in concert:
%. Lord, our heavenly Father high
and mighty King OF kings. and Lord of
lords, who dost from Thy throne be-
hold all the dwellers Of the earth. and
reienest with power supreme and un-
controlled over all the Kingdoms, en-
pires. and governments: look down in
mercy, We beseech Thee, on these
