Governor Manning last night re-
ceived advices that the government
had decided to greatly enlarge Camp
Jackson. The enlargement practically
doubles the size OF the present camp.
The upper site has been chosen.
This means an extension to the north
west towards Dentsvil,e and Weddell
oil the Seaboard Air Line Railroad.
Senator Benet was in Washington
yesterday and will be there today and
s giving his closest personal atten-
ton to the project.
1t may not now be definitely stated
what appropriation will be allotted
the camp. The statement was made
that originally the amount to be en-
pended would be about $5,OOO,000, but
;his was increased several times and
IT VIII not be beyond expectations il
the final amount agreed upon should
approximate $12,00O,00O to $4,000
600.

Intermittent Boiling.

For the benefit of those to whom
the intermittent boiling or processing
may not be familiar, it may be ex'
planned that this consists merely OF
placing the cans or jars of material to
be treated in the boiler or Gamer, and
boiling for the required length of time
on each of three successive days. by
many this is considered a safer pro-
cedure than the use of single long
period of boiling.
II you employ this method, when the
Jars are being given the second and
third boiling treatments, you should
loosen the clamps or unscrew the Ids
slightly just before you place them
again in the boiling water Tighten
covers at the end of each boiling. AS
the seal Of the Jars is loosened slight
" during each boiling, the metal'
capped jars, sometimes called "her
metlc" Jars, are not suited to inters
mitteat work. Jars with self-sealing
wire-clamped tops are most satlsfac'
tory to use In intermittent canning.
Save your screw-top jars for packing
fruits and tomatoes. which require but
one period Of boiling In a water-bath
outfit.

It was not much that he had to do.
Merely make movement of his hands.
Masses of troops continued to rush
across the bridge until more than half
were safely over. The bridge further
above was not in such great demand,
and with the lessened congestion al
most all who crossed here were
already safe. We could see how the
first of the French units had crossed,
but the bridge continued to stand.
The sergeant who manned the appa-
ratus at this bridge became restless
waiting for orders, and finally on his
own initiative blew it up. Some
Frenchmen and hundreds of Germans
upon the bridge found their graves In
the Marne.
At the same moment the officer
standing next to me received the order
to blow up the last bridge. He hesi-
tated to obey, for he could still see
many Germans on the other side. He
could see the race for the road leading
to the brldgehead as all sought safety
at the same instant. There terrible
panic reigned. Many soldiers jumped
into the river and tried to swim across.
The pressure became greater as the
thousands still on the other side tried
to get back.
The message over the wire became
more and more insistent. Finally the

food is being produced in back yards

CONSERVE SURPLUS
FOOD.

Increased planting Of vege-
tables this year almost certainly
will mean an unprecedented
yield of fresh vegetables in the
spring and summer.
This will mean plentiful sup
plies for summer tables and
large surplus.
This surplus, to be useful to
America, must be conserved.
1t must be canned, dried,
brlned, or stored In the homes
of America.
Home-conserved food means
that the home will be more
nearly self-sustaining and that
the burden on transportation
will be lightened.
Women who have never
canned should now learn how;
women who know how should
prepare to do more. = United
