A plenary indulgence removes all
the punishment due to sin; why then
should we gain number of such in
dulgences?
To gain a plenary indulgence com
pletely, we must be free from all
venial sins; the presence of, venial
sins binders the plenary efficacy of
the indulgence, SO that several such
plenary indulgences may be received.
Plenary indulgences may be applied
to the souls in purgatory, and pity, if
not justice, should prompt us to re
member the poor souls. Finally, it
would be extreme folly to slight the
bounty of a good God, and when He,
through His Church, offers these spir-
itual refreshments, we should hasten
to accept them.
Is it better to have high Masses
than low Masses for the dead?
Follow your own inclination in the
matter. All Masses are intrinsically
the same, and the merits of each
Mass are infinite. There is, however,
a secondary honor or glory given to
Cod which consists in the external
solemnity of the Mass. This solemn
ity is increased by the ceremonies of
a high Mass.
II a person is in doubt whether he
confessed all his sins properly, will
his stay in purgatory be shortened
II he has Masses said whilst living?

The perfect So"

One hears great deal about the "per.
feet &c." and it really isn't SO at all
Here are the alleged measurements:
Neck, 1879 inches; bust, 81 inches;
waist, 20 inches; hips, 40 inches. The
length of the skirt from the waist line
to the floor is AZ inches.
The perfect SO should measure 1917
inches inside the sleeve measure. The
line down the back from the base of the
collar to the waistIine should be l5h
inches. These figures are for the aver
age, but the measurements, of course,
can vary. For instance, the perfect 30,
according to tailors and dressmakers,
ranges from SO to SO inches, although 81
is the ideal
Seventy-fve per cent of women are be-
low the SO standard, and most of the rest
are over This is because they have per
mitted their muscles to become fsbby
and loose from lack of exercise, and have
either taken on weight or lost it.-Irish

SUSPENDS AGRARIAN LAW.
Action By the Russian Provisional Gov
eminent,

Petrograd, July l0.--The provisional
government has decided to suspend OPP
erations of the agrarian law passed in
1908. Without consent, NJ. Stolypin, the
premier at the time, provided for the
abolition of communal ownership of
peasant land and the substitution of in.
dividual ownership. The sponsor for the
repeal is the new Socialist minister of
agriculture, M. Tchernoff.
The minister has submitted to the
council of ministers ten other bills of
land reform, town as well as country.
One provides for the better application
of science in the work OF the ministry
of agriculture; another establishes de-
partment of agriculture economy and
policy; another regulates the exploita-
ton OF forests. In principle the council
approved these bills. 1t is intended to
promulgate them speedily, leaving for
the constituent assembly decision the
basic question of the transfer OF the
lands of the nobility to the peasantry.

Preserved Watermelon Rind.

Below are given three different rule
for preserving watermelon rind, and cit
ron may be preserved in the same man
ner:
l. Pare off the green skin of the wa
termelon rind, cut the rind into pieces
then weigh them. For five pounds rim,
put one quart of water and one pint o
vinegar over the fire. When it boils ado
the rind. Boil 10 minutes. Remove will
a skinner and lay on a sieve to drain
In the meantime place a preserving kct
tie over the fire with four pounds o
sugar and one pint of water. Boil five
minutes. Remove all the black scum
that rises. Then put in the rind. Cook
slowly without a cover 40 minutes, ado
also two ounces of green ginger freed
from the broken skin and cut into pieces
When the watermelon is done, put il
into jars. Boil the syrup until reduced
to half then pour it over the rind The
jars should be filled to overlooking. Close
and keep in q cool dry place.
2. Pare off the green skin. Cut the
watermelon rind into pieces. Weigh
pound and allow to each pound a pound
and half of loaf sugar. Line your ket-
tie with green vine leaves and put in
the pieces without the sugar. A layer of
vine leaves must cover each layer of
rind. Pour in water to cover the whole
and place a thick cloth over the kettle.
.. L. fx~ @x,-o oft
scattering few bits of alum amongst it,
Spread the melon rind in a dish to cool.
Melt the sugar, using pint of water to
a pound and a half of sugar, and mix it
and skim the sugar When quite clear
put in the rind and let it boil two hours.
Take out the rind. Boil the syrup again.
Pour it over the rind and let it remain
all night. The next morning boil the
syrup along with lemon juice, allowing
one lemon to a quart of syrup. When it
is thick enough to hang in drop from
the point of a spoon, it is done. Put the
rind in Jars and pour over it the syrup.

RAISE RABBITS
FOR MEAT SUPPLY
Production of Belgian Hares or Other
Rabbits Easily Possible in City Back
Yards as Well as on Farms, Says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.

Rabbits, which have proved valuable
source of food in Europe during the pres.
emit war, may well be raised more ex.
tensively in America by way of reducing
the drain ON the ordinary meat supply
according to biologists of the United
States department of agriculture. The
business of growing rabbits, the special
lists point out, can be carried on by
youths and adults not engaged in mill
tary or other national service or in regu-
lar industrial employment. The animals
may be raised in back yards OF cities
and towns as well as on farms.
The Belgian hare, says statement by
the United States department of agricul-
ture, breeds rapidly, natures quickly and
produces a palatable and highly nutri.
tious meat The cost of production is
less than that of any other meat, not
excepting poultry. The supply can be
greatly increased within a few months,
without requiring space that may be
needed for the production of crops Prac-
teal experience has demonstrated that
rabbit meat can be produced in unlimit-
ed quantities at a cost of about six cents
pound; and by utilizing lawn cuttings
and other vegetation that would other
wise be wasted, the cost can be made
even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rabbits
are recommended for meat production, as
the ordinary tame rabbit is smaller and
develops more slowly. Stock of Belgian
hares may be bought from breeders in
nearly all the states at 81 to So each
They may occasionally be had from pet
stock dealers. Fancy pediereed stock is
not required for meat production.

KAISER SEEKS TO
GEORGE NEUTRALS?
Washington Believes Ambassadors Are

Washington, July l0,--Conjecture al
TO the purpose of the conference between
Emperor William and the neutral am
bassadors and ministers ranged all tn,
way from new peace proposals to threat,
of drastic action against the north Eu
ropean neutrals in the event that they
should yield to the United States and
refuse to continue TO supply Germany

The general belief is that the emperor
is making it plain to the Scandinavians
that il they allow their territorial wat.
ers to be patrolled or mined by the en-
tente allies or refuse to continue to ex.
change goods with Germany, he will re.
gard the action as breach of neutrali.

Germany.

100000 Barrels Of Salt.

The domestic consumption OF salt in
1916 was 45,720,S60 barrels of $50 pounds
each, an increase of more than 1000, 600
barrels over the consumption of 1915.
According to statistics compiled under
the direction of r. w. Stone, of the Unit
ed States geological survey, department
of the interior, the domestic production
of salt in 1916 was 45,449,32o barrels,
the imports were ST. ,992 barrels, and
the exports 600,46l barrels This was
an increase of 10 per cent in the quantity
of salt produced. The total value of the
salt was $l3,645,947.
Michigan, as usual, was the largest
producer, and New York was close Sec
ond. The production, in barrels, by the
leading states was as follows: Michigan,
l4,9lS,27S; New York, l4,0S7,750; Ohio,
6,706, 1893; Kansas, 4,564,793; California,
,l24 ,236.
Perhaps the most marked feature in
the salt industry in 1916 was the great
increase in quantity OF brine sold as such
or used by chemical works, the increase
being 81 per cent and the total produce
ton over 100000 barrels. The pro-
duction of rock salt increased over II
per cent and amounted to 9,973950 bar
rels, valued at 50 ,665,270 On the other
hand, the production of evaporated salt
increased only per cent, to l7,575,629
barrels, but the value was Slo,l49,412, an
increase of nearly Is per cent.

TURN CITY GARBAGE INTO PORK.
Department of Agriculture Makes Rec
ommendation.

Use of city garbage for feeding hog:
will add materially to pork production
and also substitute more economical
garbage disposal system for the wasteful
practice of burying or burning city
waste, according to the United States de.
partment of agriculture. To make city
waste most available for feeding to pigs
every household must be required and
trained to separate its household wastes
carefully so that dangerous material like
broken glass or bits of metal, burnt
matches and wood and other inedible ma
terial will not be mixed with food scraps,
vegetable parings, and bones useful for
feeding. Cities should enforce existing
ordinances requiring every household to
separate wastes carefully and to put all
feeding material in one container and all
inedible trash into the ash receiver.
Utilization of garbage for feeding ami
mails viii save the people in the cities an
important sum of money annually and
contribute materially to the local food
supply.
Dwellers in small towns and even in
the suburbs and on the outskirts of the
large cities, in many instances also could
help meat production. Many vacant lots
provide suitable site for hog pen
which win annoy no one, and some of
these lots are large enough to grow green
feed to aid in fattening pigs. While the
average family win not have enough gar
bage to fatten a pig, several families
who jointly build a pen and purchase one
or two pigs can fatten them co-opera-
lively at little or no additional expense.

TO CAN GREEN PEAS

Housekeepers can easily can surplus
green peas and snap beans, which arr

J ing on the bottom.
Here are directions given by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture to
the members OF girls canning clubs in
the northern and western states:
Do not try to can peas or beans that
have been long off the vines-the fresher
the vegetables the better the product.
Shell peas. In case of beans string
and cut them as ii for cooking.
Put the prepared vegetables in a
cheesecloth bag or colander and banch in
live steam from boiling water for from
five TO 10 minutes.
Next dip the blanched product quickly
in cold water and remove it almost i'm
mediately.
Pack the product Immediately into hot
scslded glass jars or tin cans.
Fill the containers completely with
boiling hot water to which has been
added one level teaspoonful of salt per
quart. Place rubber rings on jars and
screw tops almost, but not completely,
tight. The water in the boiler will not
enter these partially closed jars. Seal
tin cans completely.
Put the jars or cans in boiling water
in the wash boiler so that the tops are
partly or wholly covered. Sterilize for
$50 minutes in the boiling water, count
ing from the time the water begins to
boil again. If other canning outfits are
used, sterilize as follows:

Water SEAL PA degrees. ...... $50
5 pounds steam pressure $3.50. go
10 to Is pounds steam pressure 40
Wax and string beans as well as
young tender peas may be sterilized in
40 minutes.
Remove jars from boiler or sterilizer,
tighten covers, invert to cool and test the h
oints for leakage. Examine cans for
eaks. Even the slightest leak if not
'losed completely at once, means that
he product in all probability will not
,eep.
Do not place glass jars to cool in a
raft which is liable to cause them to
rack. Wrap jars in paper to prevent
'lanching, and store in a cool place.
If peas are roughly handled in blanch-
ne or cold dipping, or split or broken
eas are not removed before packing, the
quid in the jars may have a slightly (
louded appearance. If sterilizing has
cen properly done, cloudiness is no evil
ence that the product has spoiled. ]
