 To such workers the fact thai half, if not more, of all that they have canned has been a total loss is extremely discouraged. It takes the heart out of the beginner They do not feel, with energies spent and nerves grown faccid because of heat and worry, like doing the work all over again
 But the bacteriologists of the country tell us that the canned tsuif is not a total loss and may yet be saved if the black substance is removed in time.
 But to do this requires endless work and patience.
 If the manufacturer of these tops knew of their insecurity and the dangerous possibilities of the use of them, and there is way to pun ish such offenders, the letter of the law should be applied to the ex- treme limit

year, really is an iron composition lacquered on which the natura acids of the preserved good! wrought a chemical change. ren dered the foodstufs unwholesome brought this advice from the cit, chemist
 Miss Bessie R. Murphy, direc tor fo the Woman's department, bu reau of farm development, Cham Der of Commerce. says a great man, telephone calls have been receive, from women who have used the nev tops, asking for information as tc the methods for saving the canned stuifs that are already discolOred.
 All housekeepers should look a their canned goods and open at leas one jar to see whether the colorin; has started, says Miss Murphy The lacquer and the iron solution can be romeved by boiling the top in strong soda water and the, thoroughly rinsing in clear ho water.
 TIN TOPS UNSATISFACTORY.
 One housewife, who had seer Miss Murphy's warning in the Con mercial Appeal, decided to do |; little experimenting on her owl account She had a can of butte beans thoroughly discolored by tn chemical action of the acid on tn new tops. To determine whethe the beans were poisonous she fe the entire contents to her family Her telephone report to Miss Nun phy was to the effect that her folk were still alive.
 Only standard made jars shoul be used in the canning of garde products size that will permi of securing new tops and rubber in following seasons is the advic of Miss Murphy, who also says tha jars having glass tops are prefer able to those with the metal.
 Many housewives already hay. been bitterly disappointed when on examining their canned fruit and vegetables, they found a blac substance on the upper layer. Thi black substance is the direct resul of using the iron composition tor which manufacturers sold this year because of the high prices of ti and zinc tops, due to the demand of the war.
 The new top looks like brigh tin, and is coated with thin lacque. The acids of fruits and vegetables acting on this lacquer, ate througi and into the iron, with the resul that a black scum formed on home canned product.

 Government experts became mis-
 onaries and carried with them yisdom which htey cheerfully dis eminated among the women and hildren of the country.
 Domestic science was taught in he scools. The recent garden fair cid in Memphis afforded splendid vidence of how efficient this work las been.
 At the time nothing was said in he matter of fruit jars, but the mateur was urged to use glass lrs in preference to the cans that were used many years ago and are till used by the canning factories If the country.

 The use of these tops caused general loss. not only in Memphis, put throughout the Memphis terri tory, the tri-states and the entire country.
 Taking a generous view of the it may be said that possibly he manufacturer of these tops did not know that they would injure the food to be canned. The result was, however. disastrous.

through her untiring energy, taxed than 30,000 missing men of the Union Army. This is now one of the duties of the Red Cross, except the fate of the wounded is imme- diately imparted to the loved ones After the arduous task performed 1 by Clara Barton, is it any wonder I her health gave down? The years of ! constant labor and the weight of responsibilities told sadly upon her strength and forced her to refrain from labor and to seek health in some salubrious climate She went to Switzerland for this purpose. It is strange how things work sometimes with our destiny, or how events happen to shape our lives. 1 It was in Switzerland that Clara Barton met congenial spirits, per sons engaged in the same humane work in which she had been en- ployed. and how fascinating is pub | lie service to one after one has served a few years in such WorK. | It was in Switzerland that Clara
 Barton learned of the service of Henri Dunant and others. 1t was there she became acquainted with the working and purposes of the Red Cross and formed a friendship for it's leaders.
 It ofen happens that the same scientific discovery is made simul-
 taneously by one or more workers It so happened that while in Eu- rope band of noble men and Wo- men had organized themselves into q society of the Red Cross in the United States there was band, equally as earnest, patriotic and humane, who had formed themselves into a society, known as the San itary Commission. The object and purpose of both being identical and l the work performed by each sim I liar.
 
 l in the camp of the Red Cross in Europe She was one of the most ac- tive Red Cross workers during the Franco Prussian war. After the siege of Strassburg, 10000 people were homeless and starvation was before them. It was Clara Barton who provided material for 30,000 | garments, parceled them out to women, to make at good wages. Her quick eye saw everything needed and her acute intelligence told her what was best to be done.
 1 In Paris after the war, the law
 less commune seized the power. The roar of the cannon was heard day and night Hundreds of innocent | people were killed and terror reigned supreme. In the midst of all this horror, Clara Barton en- | tered the city of Paris alone. Wo- men and children were starving.
 and when the great mob surGed l through the street crying for
 bread on that fateful day, after
 the officers had been overpowered, it was Clara Barton who spoke to the despairing women and infuri- ated men and her hopeful words 1 dispersed the mob to their homes. Picture what would have been the
 appalling condition of France with
 out such souls as composed the
 Red Cross. What would have been
 the conditions during the Franco | Prussian War without the benign influence of the Red Cross. The
 work is neutral, non-sectarian and humane. It is putting into active
 operation the teaching of Him who was crucified.
