T. "Once started in pursuit of nature

says John Burroughs in the Century
Magazine. when people ask me,

Nerve Shock and War Strain.

The term shell shock has misled
many persons to believe that 1t is due
to the profound impression or shock
produced on the nervous system by
the detonations%of high explosives. No
doubt, says writer in Popular Sci
ence Monthly, there are cases Of act
ual brain or nerve injury due to con-
cussion Of the air accompanying shell
explosions, but these mechanical
causes are a great deal less frequently
responsible for war neuroses than the
mental effects Of general war strain.
1t is remarkable that those war neu-
roses, common as they are among pri-
Yates and officers alike, are seldom
found In men who have been actually
wounded. Perhaps this seeming anom-
ally is due to the actual wound shock
offsetting the mental impression af-
fecting the controlling nerve-center in
such cases.

NATURE LAVISH TO IRELAND
Marvellous Beauty of Emerald Isle
Largely Due to Vivid Coloring
of Moss and Heather.

Ireland wears her beauty unself-con-

She owes it to the vivid color
ing, of luxuriant MOSES that hang

to the thrusting spikes of rugged gold

pie carpets over the hills and lines the
borders of the bOgs, so that, at ones
every step, it's sweetness fills the air.
Untouched from years end to years

savage, careless beauty, its luxuriance
of hardy growth, its wild prodigality
Of color under skies of peculiar and

SWAT THE ROOSTER
Observation-Disclosures.

Many summer eggs spoil. They spoil
because they are fertile. Because MANY
OF them spoil, eggs sell much cheaper
than they ought.
The rooster makes the eggs fertile
ne does not help to get more eggs. He
hinders. Hens will probably Law more
eggs without the help of the roosters.
Then why keep the ROSTERS over the
summer? There is no reason at all.
When the produce man buys eggs IN
summer, he allows for rotten eggs.
That brings the price down. Not only
Is there a loss on the price, but the
eggs are lost. That means waste.
Infertile eggs will not spoil. If thew
are kept cool, they will keep fresh for
long time. The fertile egg spoils be-
cause the germ of the egg begins to de-
velop. But there is no germ in the in
fertile egg.
therefore, swat the rooster.
Keep clean nests for the hens.

without sugar or with the addition of
a very small amount of sugar may be
used for pie filings, desserts and in
other ways.
Fruits for home use can be canned
with corn strip or refiners' strip in
place Of part of the sugar ordinarily
used. Sirups with a distinctive flavor
add sweetness, but also, of course,
change the flavor of the canned fruit.
A little experimenting in handling
fruits should enable q housewife to
develop various combinations oe fruits
and sirups which are pleasing to her
own family.
Caution: Fruits canned with plain
water or with other than sugar strip
should not be sold until the jars have
been labeled to comply with local and
federal requirements as to description
Of contents.
How to Can Fruit. ..
3 Boil empty jars and lids for at least
fifteen minutes before you fill them
with the fruit. Rubber rings just be-
cleansed by dipping for minute into
a quart of boiling water in which a
teaspoonful Of cooking soda has been
dissolved. Take the Jars out of the
water bath, drain quickly and fill,
while still hot, with the fruit prepared
as described below. Fill the jar with
hot strip or hot water. Put on the
lid but do not seal absolutely tight,
so as to allow for expansion inside
the jar.
Put the partially sealed jars, while
still hot, into hot water Gamer pro-
vided with false bottom of Stats or
wire mesh. Do not put cold jars into
hot water-or boiling water into cold
crack. Boil (process) the
filed jars for the time specified in the
recipes, counting from when the water
in the Gamer begins to boil again.
Remove jars; seal alright; when
cold test for leaks and store in
dark, cool, dry place.

Those luscious berries, peaches, cher
ries, figs, and other fruits, so abund.
ant this summer, can be made to sup
ply many desirable desserts for win
ter. and with little trouble. Practi-
caIly all fruits can be canned at home
in ordinary Gamers or in a large YES
sci with tightly fitting cover. In fact,
fruits are easier to can than most veg
etables. They are prepared more
quickly and need to be boiled in the
jars only once and generally for a
shorter time than is necessary to can
other products. .- ..-.-.r
Canned fruits preserve most of the
delicate favors and succulence of
fresh fruits and are the nearest sub
stitute for fruits fresh from bush or
tree. They are very valuable In the
winter diet. They supply acids and
mineral substances very useful in
keeping the body in condition.
Do not cook or handle fruits in gal
Vanized vessels. The fruit acid at
lacks the zinc coating and makes the
product dangerous to health and spoils
its color and flavor.
Fruits Can Be Canned Without Sugar.
Don't let cost or difficulty of obtain
ing. sugar deter you from canning
quantities of fruit this year. Fruit
can be canned without sugar. Instead
of using strip, simply fill the cans
with clean hot water and process in
water bath. The fruit will not spoil,
but, of course, will not have the fine
color and flavor which it would have
if packed in strip. The use of even
thin strip in canning fruits will give
a more attractive finished product
than can possibly be obtained by can
ming in water. If sugar is not avail
able, it will be well to consider drying
the fruits instead of canning, since
good dried product is far better than
poor canned one. The Importance
of canning in less water should be
stressed this year because Of the high
cost of containers. Fruits canned

Save Sugar.
Before the war Germany, Austria.
Hungary and Russia produced 81 per
cent Of the total supply of beet sugar,
about one-third of the entire sugar
supply of the world. With the with
drawal of sugar exports of these heav-
lily producing countries it is easy to
see why the allies supply Of sugar
has shrunk. The one thing we can
do in this country is to increase our
production and decrease our consump-
ton, to change our sugar habits until
the war is over.
In practically all dishes requiring
sugar some other Sweetening may be
substituted. The sweetening power of
sirups varies somewhat, so that will
have to be taken into account. Honey
Is about as sweet as sugar, but when
it is used the liquid in the dish will
need to be decreased. Maple strip is
sweeter than sugar and corn strip less
sweet. When substituting sirups for
sugar decrease the liquid one-fourth.
Dried fruits Of various kinds, when
added to any cereal or pudding de-
crease the amount of sweetening
