PRACTICE is PREACHING.

Secretary McAdoo's speech max
ing tour in behalf OF the second Lib
erty Loan is attracting attention not
only because of his official position
but because OF what he is saying. He
has been pleading for economy in or
der that the subscriptions to the
bonds may be paid for out of saw
ings; and he has urged that all un-
necessary public work be held in sus-
pense until after the war Mr.. Nc
Adoo is a doctor who evidently does
not believe in taking his own medi-
cine. He urges states and munich
palties TO postpone the erection of
public buildings and to avoid other
public work--yet he has worked
like beaver at Washington to get
a million and quarter dollars APP
propriated for the construction of a
handsome annex to the treasury
building.

SAILORS CAUSE TROUBLE

Petrograd, June 21.-There have
been disorders among the sailors of
the Black Sea fleet at Sebastopol, to
visit which the naval members of the
American mission to Russia started
on Monday.
So far there have been only con-
fused reports as to the scope of the
trouble with the sailors. The Rech
says the disorders are in connection
with the retirement of the commander
Of the feet, Admiral Koltchak.
The Birzheviya declares that, under
the influence of extremist agitators,
the sailors began to arrest some of
their officers and to disarm others.
Minister of War and Marine Ker-
ensky has issued instructions that
firm measures be taken to restore or

an outbreak had occurred, declared

HOW TO CAN
IN SOUTH
Home Methods as Taught by U. S.
Department of Agriculture in the
Southern States
ARTICLE II.

Preparing the Product for the Can.
In case of tomatoes the fruits should
.irst be graded and all defective ones
rejected. They should be lowered in
to boiling water Tor one minute; then
plunged into cold water and peeled
promptly. A slender, pointed knife
should be used to cut out the core,
care being taken not TO cut into the
seed cells
The next step for nearly all fruits
and vegetables is blanching. This
consists OF plunging the product into
boiling water in which it is. allowed
to rcmai.l for time that varies with
the maturity. Branching gives more
thorough clean than ordinary wash
| ing, removes the strong door and IA
vor from certain kinds of vegetables,
improves the texture, insures a clear
er liquor shrinks the article and makes
it more flexible, and in this way facil-
itates the putting up of a full pack A
wire basket of cheesecloth square
should be used for the purpose. AZ
ter blanching, spraying fruit with cold
water will make it frmer and it is also
sometimes desirable to put vegetables
into cold water Tor an instant in or
der to make them crisper.
Legal Requirements for Selling Can
ned Goods
Since the Federal laws governing
the interstate" shipment Of food re-
quires cans to be filled as full of food
as is practicable, for processing, and
to contain only enough liquor to fiji
the spaces and cover the contents, it
is necessary to see that all the cans
are filled to a maximum capacity A
number of containers should be
weighed before and after filing in or
der that an accurate idea of the av-
erage net wcight-in other words, the
weight Of the contents exclusive of
the can-may be obtained. 1t should
also be remembered that corn expands
in processing to such an extent that
containers filled with it can not be
packed as full as with other vege-
tables. The cans should be marked
with pencil or knife to show the
contents. The necessity for this
work should be forsecn so that there
may be no delay and that the filled
cans do not stand for any length of
time before the air is exhausted from
them.
After the fruit or vegetable is in the
can, brine, strip, Or water should
be added to within Ia of an inch of
the top and the can shaken gently to
displace all air within it. The groove
around the opening is then cleaned
and wiped and the cap slipped on In
order to make sure that the contents
of the can have the required weight.
the container should be weighed care
fully befor sealing
If the weight is satisfactory, fux
should be applied carefully around the
groove with small brush or cord, or
little mop made by tying a piece
of clean white cloth around the end
of small stick Great care must be
taken to see that none of the fux en-
tiers the can. The clean, hot Gaping
steel is then applied, the cap being
held in place with the center rod. AS
the steel is lowered it should be turn
ed steadily until the solder flows.
Hold the rod firmly and lift the steel
with sudden twist to swing the melt
ed solder evenly around the groove.

"Martyrizing" the Suffragettes
1t may be all wrong to "martyrize'
the suffragettes who are picketing the

away, but there is a very general feel
ing that the women could be doing
better work in the Red Cross than by
nursing rag and grievance all day.
News.
You are certainly right. But you
are simply ignoring the question.
What reason do you offer why the
women should not be given the vote
they ask for? You say that you are
perfectly willing that the women shall
go to the French front with the Red
Cross. That she be allowed to for
get that her place is in the home in
order that she may risk her very life.
and certainly sacrifice all the comfort
and convenience of civilization in or
der to assuage the pain or save the
lie OF some poor wounded soldier
some other woman's son.
For the woman to shoulder all the
burdens and sponsibilities of a man
is perfectly satisfactory to you. But
that she should enjoy with man,
whose work She does, the privilege to
vote is something else again"
Certainly the mother is as intelli-
gent as her Fl year old son-who
knows practically nothing save what
she has told him. The boy is drafted
into the army, goes to the front and
gets shot His sister volunteers to
the Red Cross work and when he, or
some other girls brother comes to the
hospital she restores his life. A few
years later they return home, the CON
script and the volunteer. Both have
the same hardships and the
same perils. But the boy casts his
vote at the polls while the girl stays
at home to "raise some other boy to
be a soldier"
Women are man enough" to work.
But the voting is something else
again.
