SAUERKRAUT is IN SEASON.

Attempts have been made to keep
popular the tasteful and popular dish
of sauerkraut by changing the name
to Liberty cabbage. But If the rose
will smell as sweet by any other
name, so will sauerkraut taste as good
to many people whether its name be
changed or not.
The essential points to make good
kraut are the use of mature, sound
cabbage, scrupulous cleanliness
throughout the process, and proper
care of the surface of the brine after
fermentation is completed.
In making sauerkraut for home
purposes the outer green leaves of the
cabbage should be removed, just as in
preparing the head for boiling. In
addition, all decayed or bruised leaves
should be discarded and the core re-
moved If an instrument for this
purpose is not available, it is adV1sa-
BILE to quarter the heads and slice off
the part of the core remaining on each
quarter. The cabbage should be
shredded by one of the hand-shred-
ding machines sold upon the market
for such purposes, or, if one is not
aVd1ldDlGy Tie 11SdIo may DO SCb AAANO
thin slices with slaw cutter or a
large knife.
The shredded cabbage should be
packed immediat Y into a perfectly
celan, watertight receptacle, such as
cider or wine barrel, key, or tub. As
it is packed into the receptacle add
salt in the proportion of one pound OF
salt to 40 pounds of cabbage, distrt-
buting it evenly throughout the cab
bage. Experiments have shown that
approximately 2h pounds of salt to
each 100 pounds of shredded cabbage
give the best flavor to the resulting
kraut.
When the barrel or crock is nearly
full, the cabbage should be pressed
down as firmly as possible and cover
ed with a clean board cover. 1t is
advisable, but not essential, that clean
cloth be placed over the cabbage be-
fore the cover is put into place. The
salt soon extracts a considerable
amount of the cabbage juice from the
cabbage, and a sufficient weight OF
clean brick or stone should be added
to cause the brine to rise up to the
wooden cover Set the container
aside until fermentation is complete
and skim off any scum that forms.

Unheralded Heroes of theWar
ow Homer Wheaton Deliberately Ga We His Life to
By MARK ANDREWS

We His Life to Save the Lives of Friends
grenades are comparatively harmless
so long as they a"e in place. But
when Strengthened out the pin can
easily fall from the grenade. which
means that within five seconds the
deadly engine will explode.
According to reports. an American
grenadier, Homer Wheaton of Syra-I
cuse, n. y, had been on duty at an
outpost, and had Strengthened out the
pins in his grenades. When relieved
from duty he returned to his dugout,
where three of his pals were sleeping
and a fourth was lying awake in his
bunk.
AS Wheaton entered the dugout and
closed the heavy door he took off his,
coat and threw it on his own bunk, l
which was on the top row. He car,
ried several grenades in the pocket of
his coat, and as he threw the gar
ment on the bunk one of them Slip,
ped out, fell to the floor, and the
Strengthened safety-pin flew across
the room.
The situation was dramatic Whea-I
ton knew that in five seconds the
grenade would explode and kill every
man in the dugout. He knew that
he, himself, had time to dash through
the door, and, closing it behind him,
have chance at least of saving his
own ltfe-and it is said that the COM
rade lying awake in his bunk called
to him to do this-but Wheaton was
not made of such stuff. He stood
fast in his tracks.
What thoughts passed in the mind
Of the soldier in the next two or
three seconds will never be known,
but what he did will never be for,
gotten.
Wheaton stood still but a moment
then reaching down he picked up tho
bomb, dived into the fartherest cor
ner of the dugout, and, hugging the
deadly machine close to his stomach.
created with his body a barrier be-
tween the bursting grenade and his
pals.
The explosion killed him instantly,
but all Of his companions escaped
without a scratch.
