Canning Hints

Success in canning lies in com.
plete sterilization.
Preserve fruit as quick as pos.
sible after picking.
With the exception of cherries,
select fruit slightly underripe,
as it contains more acid and
hence requires less heating. The
less heat required the better the
color, shape and flavor Of the
preserved fruit.
Do not use canning compounds
or powders.
AS soon as a jar is full, seal it
before filling another, as, il left
open, bacteria may get in and
later cause fermentation
After sealing jars, keep them
out of a draft over night.
The rubber should be moist
when placed on the jar. Use
new rubbers. Don't risk losing
fruit, sugar and labor by trying
to economic on old rubbers.
Throw them away.
Use glass jars. There is no
economy in buying tin cans,
which cannot be used more than
once.
To make syrup suitable for
plain canning, take pound of
sugar to 215 large cups Of water.
Never use tin pan for cook
ing fruit.

Tighten every section of the country
on the need of prosecuting the war
vigorously, not only as a war for

Congress leaders were talking of

that the country is hearing many agi-

that fathers and mothers who are Civ

NewS From Flanders Is
of Scant Proportions;
Artillery Only Is ActiUe

News from the Flanders front is
OF scant proportions, the most i'm
portant announcement being the
British official report that the French
nave again effected a gain of ground
on their front northwest of Blk
schoote. No mention is made in
either the British or the French
statements o. the extent of the ar
tillery activity which yesterday was
giving indications of growing inten-
sity.
The front in France was inactive
last night except for the customary
artillery bombardment in the Aisne
region and somewhat lively raiding
operations on the part of the French
forces.
Recent advices from Southeastern
Russia have reflected the opinion
that the Teutonic offensive from Ga
l1cia and Buffowina had the Black
Sea port of Odessa in view, with the
grain crops in Bessarabia the imme-
diate objective. Whatever the aim
of the Teutons, however, the stiffen-
ing of the Russian defensive is at
least slowing down their advance,
having apparently checked it alto
gether in some sectors.
The slight increase in the mum Der
of British vessels sunk by sub
marines or mines last week, as shown
by yesterdays report, is coupled with
the announcement of an increase
also in the French losses for that
period, although the total is as usual
notably small. Four of the class of
l,bOO tons or more were sunk,
against two the preceding week, and
two vessels Of the smaller tonnage,
as compared with one. Italian losses
were smaller.

THE MEN WANT TO FIGHT
Troopers Anxious to Get Sight
of Real Warfare in
France
By Associated Press

American Training Camp in
France, Aug. 8 (by the Associated
Press) The deepest impression one
gains after three weeks with the
American soldiers training in France
is the absolute earnestness with
which the splendid young men of the
army have undertaken the task
which is before them. There is no
disposition on their part or on the
part of their officers to underesti-
mate in any way the seriousness of
that task and the hard work which
remains to be done before America
can take her place in the actual
firing line.
The troops that are here feel their
responsibility keenly. They are, in
deed. the small but effective nucleus
about which will be builded the great
army machine which the United
States hopes eventually to have on
the battlehelds of France.

Germans Make Use of
Terrible NeW Poison That
TOrtureS Before 1t Kills

Hazebrouck, France. Aug. 8. -
British medical officers are trying
to determine the nature of the new
poison used, it is believed, for the
first time by the Germans in the
French town of Armentiers near the
Belgian frontier. The poison bore
a certain resemblance to the gas
which temporarily blinded a large
number of British troops a fort
night ago, but it's effect are infinite
ly more serious.
A number of persons taken from
Armentieres are in a grave condi-
ton. Many have died in hospitals
at HaZebrouck, Aire-on-the-lys at
st. Pol on the Ternoise, where most
of the victims were taken.
The first time the poison was OBJ
served it coincided with the firing
into the town of a hail of shells of
calibre insufficient to break the paw
ing. These contain neither powder
nor gas, but colorless liquid which
spreads over the soil. In the streets
and courtyards and gardens, where
the shells burst, traces of the noX-
iouS liquid may be found.
Penetrating Gas
AS the liquid evaporates it pro-
duces heavy gas which penetrates
from room to room and descends in
tG the cellars. 1t is tenacious in
character and seems to make more
victims among women than men,
closing about their hair. The fumes
of tobacco seems to ace an antidot
of men.
The odor is variously described as
resembling that of acetylene, mag
nonette or pungent mustard. It's
effects are not immediate. Some
inhabitants of Armentieres who in
hailed the emanations in the fore
noon returned home without ex-
periencing any i'll effects and took
luncheon, but five or six hours later
they were obliged to take to bed and
their condition became rapidly
worse.
Victims Suffer
The victims at first were affected
in the bronchial tubes, then their
eyes swelled and eventually they
lost their sight. Their symptoms
were accompanied by a feeling of
burning inside and an incessant
cough and fever The skin turned
an earthly color and in several
cases death followed rapidly. Oc-
casionally, in addition to the symp-
toms mentioned, the victims were
affected by terrible hallucinations
and delirious laughter.

WAIVE RIGHTS
TO EXEMPTION
FOR RP.R. R. MEN
Officials Higher Up Say 1t Is
Up to War Board; May
Be Exceptions

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-The Penn
sylvania railroad has waived all
rights to have its employees made
exempt from military service on the
ground that they are necessary to
the country in keeping the road in
full operation.
Following a report from Holli-
daysburg, Pa, that 900 firemen were
about to claim exemption from the
draft on this basis, officers declared
that the question of exemption had
been fully considered by the board
of directors, with the result that the
railroad at present has no inten-
lion of asking the exemption priVi-
lege. What action may be taken at
Washington, where the affairs of all
the roads of the country are in the
hands of the Railroads War Board,
as branch of the Council of Ma
tional Defense, is not knewn. Thus
far, however, no word has come to
the Pennsylvania that it's attitude
will be questioned. Samuel Rae,
president of the Pennsylvania, is
member of the Railroads War
Board.
Many Men Registered
Seven thousand Pennsylvania men
come under the draft regulations,
1t was learned yesterday. By off,
GERS of the road it is. believed a large
proportion of this number will be
exempt under the regulation cover
ing men with, dependents.
The stand taken by officialdom at
Broad Street" is that every line of
business must expect to suffer from
Withdrawals for army purposes and
that the railroads should not claim
the privilege of exemption unless the
drain should bring on crisis. While
the road is using every man in its
employ to the limit, most of the men
subject to the draft, it is said, would
come out of the class of clerks and
indoor minor officials. Locomotive
engineers, almost without excep-
ton, are above the thirty y-one-year
limit, this group being made up of
older men, who have served an ap-
premiership as fireman. Some loss
es are expected from firemen and
brakemen, but these, it is said. could
be filled without much trouble. With
regard to the officers. few are liable
to call and those mostly are now
filling places which, similar to the
case of the firemen, can be substi-
tuted.
The road would not bind itself not
to ask for exemption in exceptional
cases. 1t is possible, it was said,
that here and there, where a man in
a specialized field could not be re-
placed, an exception might be made.
But as a general proposition, no
exemption move will be made in this
first call.

Too Much Publicity So
DOgcatcher Quits; New
Man Appointed to Job

After making SIC the first day.
cornering the unlicensed CANNES of
the city, the new dogcatcher has
resigned, saying he didn't like all
the newspaper publicity about his
occupation. City detectives are not
heralded by the newspapers, why
should a dog detective who must
needs work covertly be given so
much publicity?" he demanded when
rendering his resignation.
Good jobs never go begging for
good men and his place was i'm
mediately taken by Wilbert Add
Shade, who satisfied Chief Wetzel
concerning his ability as rounds
man of dogs. Urged on by the
slogan, "A Dollar Dog, Shade was
ready to make a record cleanup
when word came from the city
treasurer's office saying they were
entirely out of tags and the new
catcher would have to wait a few
days until a sufficient supply had
arrived. Not wanting to work
hardship on the residents of the
city, Chief Wetzel is holding up the
canine roundup.
