amount OF sugar added to canned fruit

Canned fruit keeps because the

jar so no more bacteria can get in.
The rules for successful canning are

Maximum canning with minimum

Of having enough fruits and vege-
tables to serve their families next
winter should put up enough for
their own nse. Fruits and vegetables
are body regulators and we need them
every day II we are to keep in good
condition.
The recent stalking by submarines
Of Ave steamers with a total loss OF
10000 tons Of sugar. the fact that our
own sugar crop and that from the
countries near Us did not come up Ia
expectations, means there Is a TEN.
porary shortage OF sugar. How does
this sugar shortage affect the canning
season. The housekeeper who knows
her job will not be disturbed by any
lack OF sugar, nor will her zeal for
canning be diminished. We are as
sured that as our ship building pro
gram is fulfilled and ships are re
leased to bring sugar into this country
from a distance we shall have more
sugar. TO help the present situation
housekeepers may can their fruit,
without any sugar and add the sugar
next winter as the fruit is served
This uncooked canned fruit may ever
be cooked with a large amount OF SUI
gar and made into preserves during
the winter.

MISS BESSIE WYNN
ROTARY'S GUEST
War Zone Songster Tells Her
Experiences and Gives
Hints to Ladies

Miss Bessie Wynn, concert singer
just returned after three years of
war work in France and England,
was the guest of honor at women's
luncheon of the Harrisburg Rotary
Club at the Board of Trade hall at
uoon and delivered another of her
striking and eloquent addresses on
che part England and France are
taking in the war and what America
must do to win it.
Her remarks to-day included de-
scriptions of her own thrilling eX-
periences in the war zone and of the
heroic qualities of the women abroad
who have taken the places of the
men who have gone to war in every
form of industry and who bear their
hardships and sorrows with utmost
fortitude. Miss Wynn's charming
personality and the frank, simple
manner OF her speaking is not to be
translated :nto type, but some of her
practical suggestions to Harrisburg
women may be mentioned as being
helpful. She told of her extensive
experience in the war hospitals and
of the great Importance of proper
Red Cross work in this country.
Even a knot on a surgical dressing
of any kind needlessly exposed by
the seamstress may cause the pa
although it may look small and iu-
significant to the maker" Many
dressings have been wasted by i'm
proper preparation, the speaker said,
and in the name of the Red Cross
she asked that all workers do their
very best to meet the requirements
of those in charge.
Miss Wynn during her expert
ences in the war zone Travelled under
all sorts of circumstances and had
hundreds of thrilling experiences.
She is wonderfully impressed with
the spirit of those abroad and is
confident of an eventual allied VIC
tory. Garry on and with the help
OF Almighty God we shall win," was
the message she brought to her audi
ence.
She sang a wonderful little song
beginning,
"One for all and all for one,
And God be with us ALL"
which is destined to win great popu-
larity, having been officially endors-
ed by the government as propaganda
and having q very winning quality.
Eli N. Hershey, president, presid-
ed, and Mr.. Longaker, chairman of
entertainment committee, introduce,
ed the speaker and afterward pre-
septed her with a huge bouquet of
roses, reminding the audience at the
same time that Miss Wynn previous
to going abroad helped the Rotar-
ians stage a big Belgian benefit att
the Orpheum Theater. President

BERLIN DENIES
SINKING VESSEL
ON MERCY TRIP
Unofficial Note Says the
Llandovery Castle Struck
a British Mine

Amsterdam, July 3.-The sinking
of the British hospital ship Liam
dovery Castle, announced by the
British admiralty to have been sent
10 the bottom by an enemy subnla-
rine off the Irish coast on June 81
with the probable loss of more than
200 lives, was due to her striking q
British mine, in all probability. says
semiofficial note from Berlin re-
ceIVed here to-day.
The British Admiralty's account of
the sinking of the Llandovefy Castle
stated that after she was torpedoed
submarine appeared, the comman-
der of which hailed the captains
boat, ordered him on board the u
boat and questioned him sharply,
accusing him of having eight amer
lean aviation officers on board, which
the captain truthfully denied. The
captain, two others of the ships Off
GERS and Canadian medical officer,
who also were interrogated, finally
were allowed to go. Survivors re-
ported that the submarine later was
heard shelling an unseen target.
London, July "a wave of in
dignation has spread throughout
Great Britain over the sinking of the
Canadian hospital ship Llandovery
Castle by German submarine with
the loss, it is believed, of 234 lives.
The view is generally expressed that
all doubt is now removed as to the
deliberations of the German policy
of sinking hospital ships.
One development of the situation
was the passage of resolutions to-
day by meeting of 600 seamen and
stewards at Liverpool urging Joseph
Havelock Wilson, President of the
British Seamen's Union, to add an
other five years to the seamen's
after-the-war boycott of the Ger
mans for the sinking of the Liam
doVrey Castle. The period of the
boycott announced last week by Mr..
Wilson is now siXty-eight months.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alka1i. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonsfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff.
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at most any drugstore. 1t is very
hceap, and a few ounces is enough
to last everyone in the family for
months

ality, creed 'or religion. They are

THE foreign-born nationalities are
more and more self-convincing.
There is only one way for them and
that is to be loyal Americans, stick
ing together for Old Glory which
gave them their freedom and lib
erty. Then they will enjoy it as we'll
as the future generation.
You ask how many foreign-born
nationalties there are in Harrisburg
Steelton and surrounding towns in
the county. 1 don't know exactly,
but I judge that there are about
twenty-six nationalities. At one time
| answered about fifteen or sixteen,
but the number has increased great
ly. The Slav race has the largest
representation, among them being
Croatians, Serbs, Slovenians, Slovaks,
Poles from Austria, Russian and
German Poland, and Bohemians or
CZechs. The Italians come next in
representation, followed by those of
Germanic extraction. Most of these
are from Austria-Hungary. Ruman-
ians, British, Scotch. Irish, French,
Russians, Greeks or Hungarian Mag
vars follow in succession. The Mag
vars are the only people of the white
race in the world that are in no re-
lation in language with any other
nationality. Most of the Magyars in
| this section live in Steelton.
Many Changes at Home
There are Macedonians here who
speak Bulgarian, and since 1912 they
don't know what government is their
ruling power. When they left home
they knew the Turks were ruling
them but then the Bulgarians took
their country. 1t has changed hands
to Servla, to Greece, to Bulgaria and
now it has come back again to Bull
garia and Austria. A Macedonian
who was filing his QUESTIONABLE,

always will be loyal to the Stars and
Stripes"
There are many other nationali-
ties in this city and surrounding
country" Mr.. Posega declared.
There are Swedes, Norwegians,
Danes, Lithuanians, Spaniards.
Syrians, from Seyrut, Portuguese
from the West Indies, Mexicans.
Chinese and a couple of Turks in the
bargain.
Most of the people beyond the
German and Swiss border before
coming to the United States were
peasants working on farms in their
native country. They know little or
nothing of the manner and ways of
city life. They lived in a primitive
way and their governments did little
or nothing for them. They worked,
paid their taxes and asked no ques-
tions. AS an example, in Croatia,
which is ruled by the Austrian auto
cracy, most of the business is gov
ernment monopoly. These poor peo-
pie are obliged to pay six cents a
pound to their government for sea
salt. There are 101 of these kinds
of restrictions upon them"
