ASK UNCLE SAM FOR
ADVICE ON CANNING
His Bulletins Telling How
May be Had for the
Asking.

Especial Dispatch to West v.rginian)
WASHINGTON, D. c., July IL
Those who needed the advice Of the
United States Department Of Agricul'
ture to plant gardens this year are now
wondering how best to preserve their
surplus fruits and vegetables. The
specialists of the department., who
have tried out various methods for
canning, preserving, drying, picking,
and making Jam, have recently tssu'
ed bulletins showing how this work
NAV be done successfully. Anyone
can have these publications for the
asking, so ignorance of the proper
procedure will not serve ais a legitf
mate excuse for allowing any garden
produce to spoil this year.
Farmers Bulletin 500 contains di.
rections for canning by the one-period
cold.pack method all kinds Of fruits
and vegetables as well as fruit juices
soups, meats, camp rations and mush'
rooms,
When canning is not leaslDIe Vi
cans and jars are too expensive, dry
ing offers a means Of saving large
quantities of surplus products which
90 to waste each year. Drying also
affords a way of conserving portions
of food too small for canning. Drying
may be done in the sun, over the
kitchen stove, or before an electric
fan. Farmers Bulletin S41 tells just
how to do this, using one Of the driers
now on the market or homemade
apparatus.
These bulletins are sent upon re-
quest to the Division Of Publications
United States Department of AgricuF
ture, Washington, D. G. Send for cop
les for yourself and tell your neigh
bors about them. Fruits and vegeta'
bles preserved in any Of these ways
will help you in planning your three
meals a day next winter.

her. She appeared oblivious to his
presence, and try as he might he could
not for the life Of him think OF a way
to begin conversation. He knew
instistively that she would resent any
bold intrusion on his part.
The train rumbled along It's way,
Dull gray clouds which had threaten
ed rain throughout the day suddenly
made good the threat, and large drops
spattered against the window pane.
The GIRL looked up and sighed, and
the heart Of Douglas Jones missed a
beat. He lay down his paper ana
glowered out of the window as If he
could call the sun back by the very
ferocity of his glare. But nothing
happened: the train followed its sche-
duled course.
Finally it drew to a snorting halt at
Ocean Beach. The girl whose name
Douglas did not know adjusted her
furs, buttoned her blue coat more
tightly around her neck and decended
the steps of the car, Douglas follow
ing closely in the vain hope that
something might happen which would
give him the chance to play the part

lass heart revived suddenly.
tDid one Of the girls come in on
the 6 o'clock train and did she wear
white furs?" he asked e1cttedly.
For moment Tom pondered.
'You must mean Evelyn Dawson,
he answered finally. "she couldn't get
there until late"
as she here now7"
ayes, in the dressing room"
"Do you know her wel?"
II should say so; she's my sisters
chum,"
It took Douglas q remarkably short
time to don his suit, but when he en-
tered the pool the Others were before
him. And there in the midst OF a
group Of smiling young ladies' was
the girl Of the train.
Tom performed the Introduction
There was just the hint Of twinkle
in Eyelyn's eyes as she greeted the
newcomer.

"You did," Douglas answered nap
pily. II sat opposite you on the train
for two hours"
It was perhaps forty minutes later
when Mildred Terrill, hostess OF the
house party, suggested that Douglas
remove his belongings from the Ocean
House and join the Others at her COT
tage. For a moment Douglas nesl'
tated, and then he looked fairly into
the eyes of Evelyn lawson. Some,
thing in her answering look told him
that she wanted him to come. he

and drove away in the direction OF
the beach. Douglas, with sense OF
impending loss, climed into creak-
ing hack which threatened to deposit
him any moment on the wet pave
ment, and directed the driver to take
him to Ocean House.
| He had hoped that the Interior of
| the spacious hotel would present a
pleasing contrast to the dreariness
of the rainy night, but in this he was
mistaken. The big lobby was COM
I pletely shut off from the other rooms;
few guests, mostly elderly gentle
men, lolled on the over stuffed d1vans
and read the evening papers, From
around the corner came the sound OF
gathering dishes.
Douglas entered the dining room
and looked about eagerly. He had
nourished a faint hope that the girl
on the train might be there. But one
glance was enough to assure him that
he had hoped in vain. Thoroughly
disguised with himself and with the
world at large, he ordered about ev-
erything on the menu and spent the
next half hour or so gloomily ponder
ing over the whim which had brought
him to a summer resort in the middle
of winter.
Never again!" he vowed silently.
"This is absolutely the slowest place

His meal finished, he lighted the
biggest cigar he could buy and seat

A few minutes later, having fought
his way against the biting wind and
rain, he entered the Natatorium. Hav'

sure was not three sizes too large,
he strolled leisurely into the mems
dressing section. A CHEEKY voice
which surprised him almost out of his
senses greeted him.

Douglas seized the outstretched

WHEN MARRIAGE IS failure

Surely marriage is a failure when
It's essential purpose, the raising Of a
family Of children, proves impossible.
In the childless home the married
pair, though sometimes more or less
unconscious OF the fact, grow disap-
pointed and lonely. Lacking the best
tie to hold them together they are
likely to drift apart, hence many sep
arations and divorces.
If every wife, whose physical state
prevents motherhood, would but try
that great remedy, Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, there
would be far fewer childless homes.
