WIPE OUT BOXING

Big Leagues VIII Continue To
Try To Operate.
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

New York. May 26.-Professional
baseball was obviously worried today,
following publication of the provost
marshal generals order that all men
Of draft age must fight or work at
some useful occupation.
That professional baseball would be
treated the same as theaters, which
received the sams consideration as
baseball in the war tax, was the hope
of those prominent in the game, but
it was admitted the game, as well as
every other professional sport, is
standing on insecure ground.
Try to Keep. Game Going.
There is little likelihood that the
parks will be closed on the initiative
of the owners, for such a step would
be more costly than to continue, even
with attendance falling off on account
or dtsfntegratiOn of the teams. Over
mead expenses are tremendous at all
big league parks and At most minor
league parks there Is such an outlay
that suspension would be ruinous >
The huge National league park at
Boston would represent in itself loss
OF thousands if allowed to remain
IDLE. Its owners would be faced with
q loss far greater than would be the
case if allowed to continue. The Polo
grounds represents a great expense.
The Yankees pay a rental there of
$55, 900 annually
Other Sports to Suffer.
It Is hoped among followers of base
ball here that test cases will work out
the salvation of the game, taking
some players, but leaving sufficient
for the magnates to continue their
businesses.
Other sports can hardly fare so
well. Boxing undoubtedly will be
wiped out Horse racing will be dealt
a severe blow. Most of the star
jockeys came within the ruling of the
provost marshal general. Trainers
however. are over the age for the
most part.

A MILLION FOR HIM
Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug that
Loosens Corns SO They
Lift Out.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the recent discovery of
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter on an ounce costs very
little at any drug store which handles
drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or callus.
You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughened cal
lus and instantly the soreness is re-
iieved, and soon the corn or ca.lus
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the sur
rounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore result
ing from the suicidal habit of cutting
corns. Adv. s.

GOODS AND SERVICES
By Dwight w. Morrow

We are going to find, as we get
further and further into this war,
that there is nothing magical about
public finance. The government
must be supplied with money to pay
for the goods and services it needs.
But the only way the government can
get the goods that it needs is by get
ting the people to do without those
goods and services. When a peace
trained nation goes to war, that wa.
is largely fought with goods produc
ed and services rendered after j,
gets into the war. What the gov
,rnment wants, therefore, is not
merely money, but the goods and
;ervices that the money can buy.
What the government wants from
hose men who go to France is a
ervice; what the government wants
rom the man who works in a muni-
ION factory, of the man who works
n copper mine, of the man who
uns railroad is service.
Now, il the government needs not
merely money but goods and ser
|ices, and if the needed goods and
services are limited in amount, OBJ.
Jiously the government is virtually in
crested in having the people free as
many goods and services as possible
in order that the government may
command those goods and services.
here are only two ways in which
he government can get what it needs
prosecute the war successfully
chat is, by greater production and
ess consumption. AS Lord Kitchen
,r put it: EITHER the civilian popu-
alton must go short of many things
o which it is accustomed in times of
>eace or our armies must 60 short
# munitions and other things indis-
pensible to them" If you invest ir
government securities, such as War
savings Stamps the government viii
hus get the things it needs to fight
he war. And you will save money
It good rate of interest.

SUGAR FOR CANNING
AND PRESERVING
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

Columbia, June 21.-Under new
ed, limiting purchases of sugar for
household use to two pounds to indi-
viduals residing in cities and towns
and to five pound to individuals re-
siding in rural sections, sugar can be
secured for canning and preserving
fruits and vegetables upon the sign
ing of certificates which dealers
throughout the State are furnished
by the Food Administration.
For canning and preserving pur-
poses twenty-five pounds Of sugar per
month can be obtained by any per-
son but the sugar must be used for
this purpose only, and the person OBJ
tanning it will be required to sign a
pledge to return to the dealer any
sugar so bought and not used for
canning and preserving.
1t is regarded as important by the
Food Administration that as much
perishable food products as possible
be canned this summer, not so much
for market as for home use next win
ter.
Conservation of sugar must nee
essarily be practised, but provision
has been made to provide sugar for
canning and preserving purposes in
order that great waste of perishable
food products may be avoided. No
thing that can be saved should be al
lowed to go to waste.
Every household is urged to put up
at least a few cans and jars of fruits
and vegetables.

PEEL YOUR PEACHES
CHEMICALLY

Clemson College, s. C. June.-Two
Clemson men, Mr.. Benz. Freeman, of
I've Chemistry Department, and Prof.
c. 9. -iewman, head of the Horticul-
tural Division, have perfected a me-
thod of peeling peaches by chemical
process at a great saving of time, la
Lor, and fruit.
Ordinary caustic soda, commonly
called lye, is used, preferably that
sold under the brand Of "Greenback
Alkali."
Use three per cent solution q
FOUND Of soda to gallons of water) ;
heat to 90 or 95 degrees centigrade.
Dip the unwashed fruit into thi:
and allow to remain one to two min.
uses, until the skin scales off freely.
Wash the fruit we'll in three waters
to rer:ove loose peeling and all trace
of soda.
Equipment, even for a commercial
cannery, is not expensive. For use
in the home in canning or otherwise
preservig peaches the process is easily
applicable.
An ordinary porcelain lined pre-.
ser::ng kettle makes an excellent va,
for the solution. A wooden vessel
may be used, but not metal vessels
which would be corroded by the caus
tic soda. A wire horse muzzle, O,
something similar, may be used fo,
dipping basket for scalding and fol
washing the three waters after scald
ing. In this way the fruit need not
be touched by hand after scaldine
until completely washed.
A 12-gallon solution will dip sc
bushels of peaches.
The fruit retains all it's oripina,
flavor and firmness.
A CAREFUL chemical analysis shows
no trace of anything harmful.
Soft ripe fruit can be peeled al
effectively as firm fruit; and small
or irregular fruit as readily as the
better specimens.
A bushel of peaches peeled by this
chemical process will fill So quarts,
or six quarts more than bushel
peeled by mechanical methods.
Write to the horticultural Division,
Clemson College, S. c., for Bulletin
No. 1876, "a chemical Process of Peel
ing Peaches" 1t will be ready for
distribution within the week.
