RED CROSS BANS POLITICS.
viii Not Tolerate Holding of Execu.
tive Positions by Candidates.

According to the Red Cross Bulletin
of July 10, pursuant to instructions
from the war council, George +. Scott,
acting general manager of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, has issued the following
statement addressed to division mana
gers relative to political activity on
the part of Red Cross workers:
THE first general election since the
entrance of the United States in the
war is to take place before long. The
Red Cross is and must be maintained
strictly non-partisan, non-politieal
organization. The reasons for this are
so obvious to everyone that they need
no elaboration.
Membership in the Red Cross in
cludes SO many people and there are so
many men of prominence engaged in
| its work either at home or abroad, that
| it is not at all unlikely that many of
them will be candidates for office No
matter how sincerely any Red Cross
official or worker may strive to keep
separate his Red GROSS work from any
possible political ambitions which he
may entertain, he may and probably
Twill be quite unable to prevent his
friends from using his connection with
the Red Cross in order to gain favor
with the voters.
While such action cannot be con
trolled, all candidates for Office who ar,
at heart sincere well-wishers for tn,
Red Cross, should realize that they
must do all in their power to preven
the public from gaining an impression
that political preferment can or shoult
directly or indirectly, be affected b,

Great Increase in Britain In Use of
Prisoners and Soldiers.

LONDON, July 19.-More than $780,
900 women are at present engaged in
farming in Great Britain, compared
with 81 900 last year, Rowland E.
Prothero, president of the Board of
Agriculture, told the House of Com
mons yesterday in discussing the est
mates of the Agricultural Department,
There also is a large increase in the
number of soldiers, German prisoners
and interned aliens doing agricultural
work. The speaker added that the
difficulty was that while the shortage
of labor might be made good to some
extent the quality could not be made
good.

HOW to Can String Beans.

String beans for canning should be
tender and fresh. When the beans
within the pod have grown to any size
canning is more difficult and the fin
ished product of poorer quality. The
Refugee is a good variety for canning.
Use only well-sorted, small, tender
beans. Wash and pick over the beans.
String the beans and cut them into
pinch lengths. Cutting diagonally or

If desired they can be canned whole
and packed log-cabin fashion in square
jars.
After the beans are prepared, blanch

Some Labor Types.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

III
when labor is scarce, wages high,
and work in sight for everybody, look
out for strikes. 1t is surprising to see
the number of disturbances of this kind
reported daily from all over the coun-
try. Many of the strikes have been
ordered on slight pretext and in some
cases the demands have been so high
as to threaten the ruination of the
industries involved. Evidently the
patriotic declaration of President
Gompers of the American Federation
OF Labor in respect to the peaceful
settlement of labor troubles during
these times of national stress was not
taken seriously in many quarters. -
Brattlboro Reformer.
One wonders whether certain class
of labor has any respect for any kind
of leadership that is not continually
conducting it from one victory to an
other, whether the leadership that rec
ognizes any greater cause than the
wage envelope has any command over
its supposed followers. The numerous
strikes i'll progress all over the coun,
TRY form a dark page on the country s
war history. However, it perhaps is
only the logical development of oul
fast and loose playing with strikes il
the past. Labor of some types, is a.
much under the sway of the strike hab

Marmaladcs are similar TO iellies, the
distinction being that iellies are made
from the cooked-out juice only, while
marmalados are prepared from the
juice with some of the fruit included.
Good marmalade is clear and jelly-like
in consistency, with the pieces of the
fruit or peel suspended in it. The same
fruits are used as for iellies, since in
these also pectin and acid are required.
There are several things which must
be taken into account here that do not
enter into jelly ma king One of these
has to do with the condition of the
fruit, or the peel, which goes into the
product. If introduced into the Juice
and sugar mixture without previous
treatment il is likely TO be shriveled
and tough. This may be prevented by
boiling the fruit or the peel short
time until tender. 1t may then be in
trodueed into the mixture without
shriveling taking place.
Sometimes the fruit or peel rises to
the ton of the jar. This may be over

Beware Of Gathering Rust.

Any machine, neglected and left
standing idle, soon gathers rust. As
the rust accumulates it exercises a
corrosive action. 1t eats into part
after part of the machine, which pres
emily is good for nothing. Had it been
regularly used that piece of machin-
cry would have lasted much longer.

Lantern Fly a Brilliant Insect.

The lantern fly of South America is
said to be by far the most brilliant of
all luminous insects. 1t sometimes
measures more than 2 inches In
length. The shape of the head is very
curious. 1t is furnished with a hollow
transparent snout nearly the length of
the body, whence comes the lamplike
light.
