factured Quickly.

Los Angeles. May 5.-James J
Jeffries, exheavyweight champion o.

velopments are any indication.

Il Is known that the British

Investigation OF the product
which Jeffries and his partners
believe will prove superior to the
best powder now being manufac-
tured IN this country.
Jeffries is reticent concerning his
latest venture. but he offered as his
opinion that it will prove successful.
Every test that can be made shows
we have a powder which will beat

said the big fellow. I'VE expect to
make lot Of money out of il. Our
powder can be used for anything that
powder can figure in"
The story back Of Jeffries's entry
into the munition world smacks OF
romance. A man who had worked and
'experimented for years with a new
powder secret came to JefIries and
his brother Jack. told them OF his
ambition and asked them to back
him.
Jeffries investigated and before

TW|RLERS ARE
MUCH BETTER
Pacific Coast League Pitch
ing is Steadily I'm
proving is Said.

San Francisco. May 5.-Preseason
predictions of the strength and weak
nesses of the various teams in the
Pacific Coast baseball league have
been more or less set at naught as
the result Of the first month Of play.
The san Francisco club thus far
has exceeded all expectations and. if
they are able to maintain the smooth
team work Of the last few weeks are
rated as among the formidable COM
binations in the league. They started
out with a commanding lead as re-
suit Of well sustained effort both in
the pitching and batting depart
ments.
Oakland which was more OF less
derided during the practice season,
has shown an unexpected strength
and the experiment which manager
Del Howard is trying out OF using
new blood now is receiving respect
full attention.
Chief among the disappointments
thus far is the Los Angeles club
which pretty generally was picked to
be the strongest aggregation in the
circuit. Manager Frank Chances
men have not been performing up to
the standard which had been set for
them by followers OF the game
salt Lake, Vernon and Portland are
running closer to the preseason con-
ceptiOns of the baseball public than
the other three teams
That the pitchers in the league are
only now beginning to get into their
stride is evident by the fact that the
high battinE averages that pre-
vailed during the first few weeks Of
the season gradually are being cut
down TO normal figures. With the
moundmen gradually coming into
work Of the various clubs will begin
to conform more TO the preseason
ratings given them Heavy batting
was a feature of the seasons start.

Home Canned Food Safe

The United States department of agri-- culture today issued the following state ment prepared by the pacteriologists of its bureau of chemistry and the states relations service:
 There is no danger that the type of food poisoning known as 'Rotulism' will result from eat ting fruits or vegetables which have ben canned by any of The methods recommended by the United States department of agriculture, pro- vided such directions have been followed carefully. It is possible that in a number of instances the directions were not strictly followed and tnat spoiage 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.
 In case of any doubt as to whether the contents of a particular can have spoiled, the safest plan is to throw it away. although all danger of Botulism may be avoided by boiling the contents of the can for few minutes, since the bacillus botulnus and the toxin or poison which it produces are killed py such treatment. No canned food of any kind which shows any signs of spoilage should ever be eaten. In the cold pack method of canning given out by the de- partment of agriculture, only fresh vege- tables are recommended for canning. and sterilization is accomplished by the fol- lowing processes: Cleansing, blanching, cold dipping, packing in clean. hot jars adding boiling water. sealing im2edi ately, and then sterilizing the sealed jars at minimum temperature of 2t2 degrees Fahrenheit for one to four hours, according to the character of the terial Since the spores of B. botulinus are killed by heating for one hour at i7o degrees Fahrenheit( according to Jot- dans 'Bacteriology' and other recog- nized textbooks) there is no reason to believe that the botulnus organism will survive such treatment"

Churches Must Help

Many churches including some rural churches, could help the fuel situation by using wood for heating, says the United States department of agriculture. which advocates the substitution of wood from the warm woodlot for coal, in these days of shortage, wherever prac- ticabIe.
 For heating churches, the department points out that wood has some obvious advantages, because the heat is re- quired only occasionally and is then wanted in large volume at short notice After the period of required warmth is over, it is desirable that the heat should be down as soon as pssible. All these qualities are obtainable with wood as with no other fuel.
 The same arguments that hold for churches, hold in less measure, per haps for rural schools, for halls used semi occasionally for lodge and grange meetings and the like. In many in- stances. the department points out, these buildings are heated by coal just because it has become the custom to use 1t. even though wood might be more economical The amount of coal saved by one institution might not amount to much. but in the aggregate, says the department, the possible saving is
 
 In heating value, one cord of the best wood is said to equal one ton of hard coal while a cord of some of rhe softer woods equals a ton of soft coal ThuS If the consumer can buy coal at sS ton it would not pay him to burn wood at the same price cord beca use coal is the more convenient fuel But II the shortage of coal becomes really acute, as seems likely, people living in wooded regions will have a great ad- vantage over those living in the prairie ana plains states especially if they have supply already dry. In fact It may become q patriotic service to burn wood in order to relieve coal for the war industries and for the people Tn sections where wholly dependent on coal. oA'
 The whole question of wood for fuel IS discussed in publication entitled,
 Emergency Fuel from the Farm Wood lot" which may be obtained by as,xin, the unieed States department of agri- culture at Washington for Circular 7g

Big Cattle Sales

In the first eight months of this year z,Wo'ooO more cattle were marketed than ouring these same months in 1916. and the sales were rather heavy then. Only Sooooo Of these were sold from the stock yards. This shows that these heavy ship- ments nave been slaughtered and have gone into consumption. This means 25 per cent increase in the sales in 1917 over tnose Tn 1916, The shipments of calves to market have also been heavier than usual and they have been slaugh- tered. This heavy marketing of beef an- imals and calves will certainly have big effect on prices in the next two or three years It would seem to indicate that now is good time to hang onto breeding stock and if possible to increase the pro- duction of beef cattle.
