the silver and base metal mines con-
tinue to have their ore reserves so
rapidly depleted, as is now being
done, help will also be needed by this
part of the industry for opening en-

1t should be borne in mind that
without the metal mining industry
the war would be impossible. The
mines are furnishing the guns and
the shells and bullets for moving

METAL MINING SHOULD BE
ENCOURAGED.

So far, the mines of the west have
been able to supply all or nearly all
of the various kinds Of metal needed
by the government. They have done
so, too, under most adverse con
ditions, including shortage of labor
and the high cost of supplies.
Although the mineral deposits Of
the mines now operating are large,
they will not endure indefinitely, par
ticularly when put to the intensive
drain to which they have been sub
jected since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war. Many former producers
of merit have been entirely worked
out and abandoned, and comparative
ly few mines have been opened to
take their place. 1t is not impossi-
ble therefore, that the time may
come when there will be shortage
of metals, and the mines may be un-
able to fully meet the heavy require
ments of the government and the
allies.
There are enough mineral deposits
in the west to keep the world supplied
for perhaps centuries to come but a
long as they lie undeveloped, under
ground, they are useless. To opeI
mines and bring these minerals to the
surface cannot be done in a day or il
months. and preparations for their
opening ought to be started at once
as matter of ordinary precaution.
If the government will divert 9
sufficient amount of labor to the min
ing districts, new mines canbe opened
at profit to all concerned, and the
metal mining situation greatly re-
lieYed
The government already has taken
steps to encourage and help the min
ing of certain rare minerals; and
while this action is very laudable, its
scope undoubtedly should be broad
ened
Right now the gold mines are most
in need of government aid, due to the
stationary price of metal and the in

HOW TO CAN FRUIT
WITHOUT ANY SUGAR
New PROCESS DESCRIBED FOR
3 ENEFIT THIS PAPERS
WOMEN READERS.

The federal food administration for
Arizona gives the following as a salts
factory method for canning fruit with
out sugar. For this process the food
administration is indebted to the di-
vision of viticulture of the University
of California.
The sugar used in canning or bot
tling fruit is for the purpose of i'm
proving the flavor and is not necessary
for preservation.
Fruit Of any kind suitable for can
ming may be preserved without any
sugar When the fruit is consumed,
the sugar can be added exactly as is
done with fresh fruit. If the fruit when
canned is thoroughly ripe it may be
consumed without this addition of
sugar and is sweet enough for many
tastes
The ordinary methods of home can
ming are used These are the cold
pack and hot pack" methods.
For the former the fruit is washed,
peeled, pitted or cored as needed and
packed tight in clean, scalded cans or
jars. Water is then added, boiling in
the case of cans, and as hot as pos
sible without cracking the glass in the
case. Of jars. Scalded caps or covers
and 'rubbers are then put in place
loosely and the filled cans heated in
vessel of boiling water for twenty to
forty minutes. An ordinary wash
boiler furnished with a wire screen or
wooden grating on which to place
the jars is suitable for this purpose.
The boiler should contain enough wa
ter to rise about halfway up the sides
of the jars.
While still at the boiling tempera-
ture the jars or cans are removed,
sealed and placed to cool lying hori-
zontally or upside down
For the "hOt pack" method the pre-
pared fruit is placed in a large pot
on the stove with little water to pre
vent burning. After heating to the
boiling point and cooking until the
fruit is tender and some of the Juice
has eXuded, it is poured into the cans
or heated jars by means of q perfor-
ated or wire ladle and a wide funnel.
Sufficient juice from the pot is then
added just to cover the fruit and the
cans or jars sealed. These are then
heated in the boiler for about twenty
minutes. For second batch of the
same fruit the juice remaining in the
pot should be used instead of water
for the preliminary cooking.

FAMINE IN SUGAR
MAY Be AvERTED
8TRICT ECONOMY ON PART OF
IONA HOUSEWIVES
MOST NECESSARY.
GAINING C-SUGAR IS LOW
ISSUED ONLY ON PERMITS OF
FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
AND DEPUTIES

Despite the fact that effective Au-
gust l the sugar ration was cut from
three to two pounds per person per
month, there are barely sufficient sup
plies Of sugar in Arizona to meet the
ordinary household uses, it is an
nounced by the federal food admins
traitor for Arizona.
Nothing short of the most rigid
economy will prevent an exhaustion Of
the supply before September 1, and
to meet the situation householders OBJ
tanning supplies of sugar for home
canning purposes are urged to limit
their supplies for this purpose, re-
membering that most fruits can be
canned without the use of sugar.
Housewives are warned that it is
unpatriotic, as we'll as a violation OF
the law punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment to have on hand a supply
Of sugar in excess of two pounds for
each member of the household.
This two-pound allowance does not
include sugar for home canning pur-
poses, Dut no sugar may De SOlu lOT
this purpose except on presentation
to the dealer of permit issued by the
county food administrator or his duly
authorized deputy.
All sugar for canning will be care
fully checked and if it is found that
any individual has purchased what ap-
pears to be an excessive supply he
will be called upon to show the goods
canned.

MIX for Babies.

Jersey and Guernsey cows give rict

their milk has been regarded as toe
rich for infants. 1t is still true tina,

cause is not the fat, as has beer

The heavy yarn used for socks has been questioned and the answer has come from headquarters stating that it's use is necessary as the heavy sock serves as a cushion in wearing hard European shoes. The call for both the heavy and the light weight knitted sock has been received here.
 Eliot Wadsworth, vice chairman of the central committee of the Ameri- can Red Cross and ex-officio mem Der of the war council, has arrived in France. He will remain abroad for about two months, visiting the scenes of Red Cross activity in France, Italy and England. AS q part of the policy of keeping the Red Cross administration headquar- ters in Washington thoroughly in- formed regarding actual conditions where the field work is being car ried on, it is planned to have the higher officials of the organization make trips abroad from time to time. In every instance these officials will pay all of their own expenses of travel and maintenance.
 During the absence of Mir. Wads- worth, Joseph R. Hamlen will be act ing vice-chairman.
 
 Old kid gloves and bits of leather are wanted by the Red Cross. Mrs w. K. James makes the request for odds and ends of kid and leather in response to a demand from head quarters.

 Don't waste time and energy saw ing cancelled postage stamps for the Red Cross. Somebody, somewhere has started one of those pleasant but likely to be annoying fictions con- corning the value of postage stamps which have served their original pur- pose.

 Then came the explosion. There was short, sharp, hissing sound, which l suppose it made in its de- scent, which even in the basement we could hear quite distinctly, and then came the crash, worse than anything l ever heard.

 Fragments were blocking up the exit, and we had to fight through to clear way out. It was pitiful to hear the women, some calling out dlS- l tractedly for their children, and others screaming that their babies had l been killed in their arms. Some of the children we brought out were dead. Our firemen were at work as l quickly as possible, but in few min- utes the whole place was like fur mace. The bomb had fallen and ex- 1 ploded, yet not more than ten feet away came across two little children standing absolutely untouched. They were crying with fright, and I got hold of them and managed to get them out. That was about the last I remember of it. for almost immediately I fainted T suppose with the pain of my hand and arm of which only then did seem 1 conscious

 All the time the flames were get ting fiercer and fiercer and coming nearer and nearer, and at length one great burst of flame and smoke drove us right away, setting light to our clothes, and we could not get near the woman again. One of the men was alight from head to foot, and we had to roll him in the water, which was ankle deep, before we could put out the flames.
