FRUITS MAY BE CANNED WITH
OUT SUGAR
Several Reasons Why This Method Is
More Desirable

The following quotation relative to
canning without sugar is takon from
circular written by J. S. Coldwcll,
by-products specialist Of the Washing
ton Agricultural Experiment station:
Many housewives are apparently
unaware that practically IL fruits
may be successfully canned without
the use Of sugar. Such fruit pre-
serves more of the natural appearance
and flavor than does fruit put up in
heavy sugar syrup, is fully p:.l'-iable,
and much more easily digested, is in
better condition for use in cooking,
and is available for I'll purposes for
which fruit canned in syrup could be
used. A heavy sugar syrup aids il a
slight degree in preventing the growth
Of yeasts and bacteria which cause
spoilage, but perfect sterilization
makes its use unnecessary.
Fruits may be canned without the
use Of sugar by any method which
the housewife is accustomed to usc."

Blue Laws Sociological Phenomena


Blue laws are enforced a. long in
tervals for a day or two, chiefly, it
appears for the same reason that an
cient heirlooms arc drawn from an
old chest and inspected, merely to
observe that they still exist. Des
Moines was one of the latest com
munities to unearth the supcrannuat-
ed statutes which accurately interpret
ed forbid the sale of periodicals and
ice cream on Sundays, and if taken
at their word might even stop the
street cars. Some weeks ago it was
a town on the border of Minnesota
that ratified the dry bones Of the blue
laws. Nobody knows exactly why
such hermetical laws are revived, for
nowhere in the last century have they
been steadily enforced, even when they
were fresh on the statute books. Whcr-
ever they are resurrected, the people
accept the extraordinary forbiddance
to purchase oranges, cigars, confec-
tionery or newspapers with a patient
indulgence somewhat half amused,
knowing that it will not last long. And
1t never docs.
Historically, blue laws are interest
ing. They record the fact that this
country was largely settled, North
and South, by Puritan fathers or the
descendants of Scotch covcnanters,
who held the same strict Sabbatarian
views. The blue laws arc like the sill
ent letters in the English language.
They are guide posts to the past.
We would not have them abrogated,
any more than we would have our
spelling simplified. One need not de-
stroy that which is merely old. Some
things in our civilization are for mon
umental purposes; others for use

However, Lamar seems determined
to continue the experiment the second

OMAR KHAYYAM AND
 HOURLESS PRACTICE IN
 MUD FOR GREAT RACE

Laurel Race Track; Md, Oct. 1s.- August Belmont's Hourless and Will fred Viau's Omar Khayyam, which will meet in a special race at one mile and a quarter next Thursday, if weather and track conditions are fa.-- vorable, were worked between the third and fourth races yesterday after noon.
 Hourless galloped mile and a quar- ter in 2:22, while Omar Khayyam went a slow mile in 1:5O 3-5. The track was heavy and both horses were under re- straint all the. way. The chief pur-
 pose of the, work was to give both an
 outing over the track before a crowd. Both looked to be in perfect condition
 for racing.
 If the rain continues the track may not be in condition by next Thursday, in which case another postponement will be necessary. It was ankle deep in soft mud yesterday

LAST CHANGE TO-DAY


 he. had the heart and mind of a child, and this endeared him to the fans, who will always retain a soft spot in their hearts for him. The story of his life would make a mighty interesting volume, for life with Rube was just one. thing after another. He held fourteen jobs dur ing his seventeen years in professional baseball. He broke into the big show with the Louisville Nationals, but his longest term was with the Athletics.
 Connie Mack has a number of grey hairs as mementoes of his many at tempts to make the Rube walk the straight and narrow path. Once, when Waddell was pitching an impor- tant game in Philadelphia, a fire en- zine went past the park. The Attn letics were. then at bat, and when ii came time to take the field the Rube had disappeared. Later Connie dis l covered the Rube had been unable to resist the lure of a fire, and had chased the engine to the scene of the conflagration. Waddell died of tub erculosis in San Antonio a few years ago. There was never another like the Rube, and it is safe to say there never will be.

INTERNA TIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

With but three weeks to go, it now seems certain that the hens in the laying contest at Storrs will beat last years records which. if they succeed, will mean the best egg yield since the contests were inaugurated six years ago. In the 49th week the total yield for all pens amounted to 2,524, or more than $50 eggs better than for the corresponding week last year.
 Grant Euler and Sons White Wy andottes from Trooper. Pa, that have either won first place or tied the winning pen for four consecutive weeks was again in first place with a yield of AZ eggs. Obed K. Knights pen of the same breed, from Bridge ton, R. l., were a close second with a production of 46 eggs. Two oCnnecti. cut pens, Windsweep Farms Leg. horns from Bedding Ridge and Mer- ritt M. Clark's Barred Rocks from Brookheld Center, were in third and fourth places 43 with and fl eggs re- spectively
 It was pointed out in last weeks bulletin that the heavy breeds were now laying relatively more than the light ones. As would perhaps be ex- pected they are consuming their fulf
  feed records it is interesting to note that during September, the Rocks, Reds and Wyandottes all ate actually more mash and about the same amount of grain 1as they did in the preceding month. The Leghorns, on tke other hand, consumed about tha same amount of grain but ate 16 per cent less dry mash in September than in August. Thus there is apparently a strong relationship between the amount of feed a hen eats and the 1 number of eggs she lays.

 One day during a game between Nashville and New Orleans, Jim was batting against Heine Berger, the old ex-major league spitballer With the bull in left field, Jeems took a terrific cut and met the ball sauarely Away toward the bovine it went and Jim stumbled over first trying. to keep his eye on it to see if the ball whacked the bull.
