For Food Conservation.

As a military measure, during the
18th century, the French government
offered 1900 francs for an improved
method of preserving foods. Many
chemists and cooks began experiment
ing, and the most satisfactory product
was obtained by sterilizing the food and
keeping it in Theoretically sealed con-
tainer. A little later, Pasteur found
that all spoilage or decay is due to
bacteria or germs; that those are killed
in the jar by heat and the entrance OF
others is prevented if the jar is sealed
at the time Of sterilization. Our own
government has directed many expert
ments along this line, and has FOUND
that the most reliable way TO can is by
the cold pack method, especially wnen
vegetables hard to keep, are to be pre-.
pared for winter use. BY this method
the fruit or vegetable is first packed IN
the can and then cooked.
If possible, the winter supply OF veg
etableS should be preserved IN every
home this year, because every can put
I'D at home releases one Of the CON-
mercially packed for the use Of the gov
eminent. AS patriotic citizens, we
should not compete with the govern
ment in buying food any more than
in purchasing wool or material for arms
and munitions.
String beans are in the markets now.
If you are accustomed to buy them
in winter, get them now for the rest OF
the year. Below is the method that
the u. S. Department of Agriculture
recommends is used in commercial
canneries and is considered to be the
surest means of keeping them.
Canning String Beans-String them
and break into short lengths. Place in
colander or cheesecloth bag, lower
into kettle Of boiling water, and cook
10 minutes in order to shrink them.
Remove, chill in cold water, and pack
tightly in jar. Add one teaspoonful
salt to each quart of beans and fill jar
with cold water. Place on lid loosely.
Cook ten minutes after water has begun
to boil. Fasten side clamp and pro-
cess three hours continuously. Remove
at once from water. If canning in half
gallon jars, increase the time of cook
ing to four hours. Very young and
tender string beans may be kept by two
hours cooking if canned Immediately
upon removal from the vine.

WATSON AND LABOR
Strong Endorsement of Marion County
Man by Labor Leader.

Huntington, w. Va, July 6-L. D.
Newman, city commissioner and one
Of the foremost labor leaders in the
State, has issued a public statement
setting forth why the candidacy of
Colonel c. w. Watson for the Demo-
cratic nomination Of US. Senate should
receive favorable consideration at the
hands Of the voters. In part Mr.. New
man said: at is apparent to me that
union labor will conserve its best
interests by supporting Watson. He
has shown US what he will do and what
we may expect. 1t is not a matter Of
hearsay or promise"
Mr.. Newman's endorsement of the
Fairmont candidate is added to the
already long list Of endorsements, each
Of which, it might be said, is inspired
by the same purpose-that of placing
before the people the name of the man
who is eminently qualified to serve the
country in its crisis.

PAYS WATSON TRIBUTE.
Mother Jones Says Fairmont Man Has
Done Fine Thing for the People.

Clarksburg, w. Va, July Gin the
course of a patriotic fourth of July
meeting in this city Mother Jones, the
labor leader, paid high tribute to
Colonel c. w. Watson, candidate for
the u. S. Senate. In discussing the
recent unionization of the Fairmont
mining region, Mother Jones said that
the credit for this is due TO Colonel
Watson.
In the past Mother Jones has been a
severe critic of Colonel Watson, and for
that reason her tribute TO him was all
the more interesting.
Mother Jones has been making her
home at Fairmont since the recent union
activity began.

THE prohibitionists of the Senate
now have before that body for discus
sion a measure that has real teeth. 1t
is an amendment to the food conser-
walton bill, agreed upon by the commit
tee on agriculture and reported to the
Senate Monday. If adopted, and there
ate on Monday. If adopted, and there
seems to be a good chance that it will
be, it will put the United States upon
an absolutely dry basis after the first
of January 1919. The amendment pro-
hibits the sale of whiskey after Deem
Der 81, 1918. 1t prohibits the manu-
facture of beer and wine after Novem-
Der 1 and their sale after December 81.
1t provides, however, that any distilled
or malt liquors or wine not sold after
December 81, can be exported. The
amendment also prohibits the importa
ton of any intoxicants.
The prohibition forces believe they
have the votes in the Senate to put
through the amendment. Senator Gore
says he intends to keep the food con-
servation bill before the Senate until
action is taken upon it. The liquor
people are raging over the prospect of
having their business knocked out so
completely, and Senator Penrose, Of
Pennsylvania, and other wet Senators
will flibuster and obstruct the measure
in every way possible.
The liquor business ought to be stop
ped Ii is a detriment to industry and
work of every sort and direct aid to
our enemies.

GENERAL RILEY FOR WATSON.
Wheeling Leader Certain Colonel Will
be Nominated and Elected.

General Thomas S. Riley, Of Wheel
ing, who for thirty years has been one
of the foremost Democratic leaders OF
the State, when asked by representa-
tive of the Wheeling Register about the
senatorial situation in West Virginia
from the Democratic standpoint, said 3:
Senator Watson will be nominated
and elected to the United States Senate,
and that is why | am for him. Sena-
tor Chiffon made a very good Senator,
but he was nominated two years ago as
his own successor without opposition,
and at the election he had the united
support Of the party and was defeated
by almost 5000 votes. | am satisfied
that it is the consensus of opinion of
the majority Of the party that he should,
at least, wait until the term he lost be-
comes vacated"

THE German ambassador to Russia,
Count Won Mirbach, was assasSinated
in Moscow a few days ago. No one
need mourn over his fate, for he was
murderer Of the deepest dye. When ne
was minister to Greece it was by his
direction that British hospital ship,
the Britannia, was torpedoed and sunk
with large number Of wounded SOL
diers. OF course the Germans will use
his assassination as an excuse for
further frightfulness in unhappy
Russia.

LAST Saturday proposition was
considered by the Democratic and Re-
publican committees of Berkeley coun-
ty for a division Of the Offices and the
election of selected candidates without
contests. The two parties were not
able to agree and the proposition was
abandoned. Ii was not to be supposed
that the Berkeley politicians would
agree in such a matter, for naturally
both sides would seek the advantage,
and, more naturally still, each would be
suspicious Of the other.
II our neighbors really want to do
away with an unseemly contest, We sug-
geSt that they appoint a commission OF
honest men of good character and nom
partisan reputation and authorize them
TO make a fair division Of the honors.

1t is thought that the apple crop in
Jefferson county will not be more than
half as large as that of last year. There
is good deal of anxiety among the
fruit growers in regard to securing
barrels at something like a fair price.
There is talk that as much as dollar
piece will be asked for barrels, an
exorbitant charge that will be hard to
meet Various suggestions for evad
ing such high prices are being consid
cred, and some dealers are figuring on
shipping in bulk.

RIVAL GIRLS TEAMS
WILL CLASH FRIDAY.
WILL BE MET ON
LOCAL COURT By CENTRAL
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS.

There will not be locking of horns
On the high school basketball court
Friday night, because girls don't wear
horns, but there " i'll be a royal clash
OF skill and strength that night at
1870 O'Clock when the girls basket
ball teams of the Hume-Fogg high
school OF Nashville and the local high
school meet for their first game of
tho season.
These teams have been keen rivals
ever since the Columbia girls entered
the basketball field OF sport Two
years ago the local team went through
the season without defeat Last
YEAR they met only one defeat, but
that was in asgame with the Hume
Fogg team. The game Friday night
is expected to even the score.
Columbia has most of last years
team back in the line up, which means
that they have lost no strength.
hume Fosg is said to have one of the
best teams in the history of that
school. So the game is going to be
a spirited contest.
Between halves two selected boys
teams of the local high school will
play to keep the crowd entertained.
