WHERE CAN YOU CAN!

In the kitchen, provided with
coal or wood stove, range, gas
stove, or oil stove.
Out of doors, in a clean, cool,
= shady spot over a charcoal fur
mace or any kind of fire that will
heat large kettle of water.
On the back porch.
In a city apartment.
In school room.
In a community kitchen.
Moist heat does the trick.
Where does not matter so much =
as How.
~
Fruits and vegetables may be sue
cessfully canned with very simple and
cheap appliances. Thousands of wo-
men, girls, and boys every year can
fruits and vegetables successfully
with homemade equipment-in fact,
so successfully that many find a
profitable outside market for their
surplus home-canned products.
To can almost any fruit or vegetable
or fruit juice-especially for home use
the conserver needs only:
(a). Good, sound fruits or vege-
tables freshly gathered.
CD A large metal vessel, with
tight fitting cover, such as wash
boiler or big pail fitted with
false bottom of laths or wire and
partly filled with boiling water.
(c) Heat to keep the water boil
ing.
(d) Tight-sealing jars and rub
Der rings Cor cans and soldering
outfit)
(e) A yard or so of cheesecloth.
(f) The ordinary enameled
pans, china bowls, and other
equipment in every kitchen.
Even sugar is not essential. Fruits
and berries can be canned in plain hot
water, fruit juice or fruit sirups made
| from concentrated fruit juice.
The HOt.Water Bath.
With hot-water bath outfit the
home Gamer boil (process) the filled
jars or cans so that when finally seal
ed the contents are reasonably certain
to keep.
A false bottom for the processing
vessel is practically an essential. It's
purpose is to allow free circulation OF
the boiling water around and under
the Jars and also to prevent the jars
from resting on the metal bottom right
next to the fame. Such false bot
tom can readily be made out Of pieces
of lath or wood or by bending piece
of stiff wire netting. Still more con-
venient will be a wire basket with
small legs and fitted with handles on
either end which stick up above the
hot water. This basket makes an ex-
cellent false bottom and at the same
time enables the housewife without
trouble to lift several jars in or out
of the hot-water bath at one time.
With such equipment, a clean, airy
kitchen and utensils, or a fire and
clean tables in shady clean place out
of doors, the housewife will need only
to follow directions carefully, work
quickly, and be ever watchful Of SAM
tary conditions, to can and preserve

AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, June 17.-Corn and oats
higher early on continuation of warm
weather and mention of small re-
ceipts during June and July. Tempera-
lures so far today are evidently
around 10 to II points below the
highest the last few days. Cash de-
mand for corn and oats as reported
only poor. Cash corn irregular and
finally unchanged. Some very good
crop news from the Northwest Many
assume that this warm spell means
a corn crop IA to 81 days ahead of
last year. Primary receipts OF corn
and oats today cannot be termed
small; may probably equal require
ments. Grain trade is impressed with
the late news of Saturday, covering
queries as to extensive rpturn.
Locals think that any change to cool
and showery would have marked
effect. During past few days there
has been some tendency for the
markets to follow the chance that
SUPPLIES of oats at Western terminals
during July might be moderate.

Rev. S. w. Cole. former pastor of the
Charles Town Baptist Church, who has
been doing pastoral work among the
soldiers about Norfolk, Va, has been
compelled to abandon il and return to his
home at Remington, Va. Two weeks
ago he became disqualified for active
duties because of an infected loot. Blood
poisoning developed and serious trouble
was threatened for time. The poison
was finally checked, but the pastors
misfortune did not end with that. Next
he took malaria. This forced him to
give up and return home. His church Of
ficials at Remington had given him three
months leave to engage IN camp work at
Norfolk -Adpocdte.

number Of other young fellows, were
in the Office Earlier in the afternoon
they had been in the same Office laugh
ing and talking and playing with a re-

Sunday night when they again congre-

picked up the gun from the desk and
after some foolish play snapped it at
Kimmell The weapon was discharged |
and the bullet struck Kimmell in the |
eye, passing entirely through his head |
and causing his instant death. The

fortunate ending of the fun, and Fair
ney was terribly distressed. He was
bailed to await hearing, but will be
exonerated, as the affair was entirely |
accidental.

Secret of Book Of Revelation.

The number 666 used in the Bible
as SymbOlizlng the beast is a constant
source Of speculation as to what per-
sonage the mystic numeral indicates.
According to Prof. S. E. Slocum of the
University Of Cincinnati. the key to
the riddle lies In the fact that In the
case of the Greek form of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew characters,
the letters of the name have each a
numerical significance according to
the number notation of the Hebrews.
and the sum of the numbers is 666.
The apostle in excOriating the en-
peror would have found it unsafe to
mention him outright, or in some OBJ
vious symbolism, such as in Latin or
Greek numbers, while using Hebrew
characters would be fair cOncealmelt
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Revelation works out
strikingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis
creetly about the prosecuting Roman
emperor.

AS HAVE OTHER HUN THINGS
Man Complains That His German
Made Clock Has Completely Gone
to the Bad.

My old alarm clock mas gone to
smash. That may not be a news item
nor it may not interest you, but up at
our home the fact that the alarm clock
wouldn't go any more was an event of
interest. 1t was ticking away on the
shelf at a quarter to II the night of
July II. l took it up to wind it. One
twist and-rattletebank, siSs boom ah.
Something went all to pieces in the
works.
More twists, shaking, putting the
clock to ear and final determination
that it was done for. l thought to
look it over before depOsting it in the
ash can. On the back was scratched
the month and day of the purchase in
1912. l was looking on the face for
the last time and studying it closely.
Then down at the bottom / saw in
small letters: "NIade in Germany"
There it had been ticking away on the
shelf year after year, sounding it's
alarm regularly, and yet never before
had noticed that detested inscription.
Probably if I had it would have gone
into the ash can long before.
Just like a lot of other "NIade in
Germany" things that we didn't know
were around until we found them out.
But the old German clock is busted,
the works have gone to smash, it has
sounded its last alarm, and as l medi-
tated on it 1 thought how true of
everything else "AIade in Germany"
including the juggernaut war machine
40 years in the building, with which
the kaiser was to ride untrammeled
over all the rest of the world. The
works sis busted."-E. E. K, in Syra

Mustard Gas Invented Here.

The report that an American in
ventOr laid before an agent of the bu-
reau of mines 10 months ago a form
ula for mustard gas, which the Ger
mans are now supposed to be using, is
to be taken up by the American In
ventOrs' association. The allegation
brought to the attention of the assO-
citation at its meeting the other day
was to the effect that Benjamin 2.
Brooks, chief chemist of the CONNER
cial Research company of Flushing, L.
l., gave formula to the government
bureau and heard nothing more from
1t. A few months ago it was found
Germany had hit upon the gas, accord
ing to F. j. Hemen, president of the

The newspapers of the country have
almost everywhere been a powerful
force in crystallizing the sentiment OF
the protection by proper laws of fish
and game as important resources OF
the commonwealth.
A New Jersey editor, a thorough
sportsman, says Wild Life, recently re
.ceived from a reader who desired tC
take a fish by questionable means 6
letter that contained this request:
"Please advise me how to dynamite
