The Joy of Living

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonable
hope to get much real pleasure out
of life when his bowels are clogged
a good share of the time and the
poisons that should be expelled
are absorbed into the system, pro-
ducing headache and indigestion.
A few doses of Chamberlain S Tab
lets will move the bowels, strengty-
en- the digestion and give you a
chanch to rea1eze the real JOY Of
living. Try it

Canning Demonstration
AT POMERENE

A we'll attended canning demon
stration was held at the Pomerene
schoo1house on Tuesday afternoon.
It was given by Leland S. Parke,
State Director of Boys and girls
Club Work, and was conducted un-
der the auspices of both the local
Red Cross and the boys and girls
Liberty club.
The method demonstrated is
known as cold pack and is the
one that is being used throughout
the state in connection with the
girls canning clubs. Mr. Parke,
with the help of two assistants,
Lorena Mckinney and Elizabeth
Coons, actually brought out every
step in the work. Peaches and
string beans were used, but careful
explanation was given as TO the
canning of many other things.
Now is the time Mr.. Parke stat
ed, for the people to open their
. hearts and minds toward new ways
and new ideas. but in doing so to
act consarvatively and go cautious
ly, as fatal mistakes have been
made in canncng large quantities of
vegetables such as corn, peas and
beans. So far as known it is most
successful method yet in practice,
but nevertheless, success is only
assured after the work has been
coupled up with extreme care and
a good measure of common sense.
Fruits are easy to can Mr.. Parke
explained, because two things, the
natural acid of the fruit and the
sugar solution, aid materially in
bringing about sterilization and
preventing further action by bac-
terra. But in the case of vegetables
almost without exception there is
very little if any acid present anc
nothing is added to help; therefore
a long cooking period at high tenn
pature is absolutely necessary
Once the products are sterilized
they should keep indefinitely
PROVIDING the SEAL remains
absolutely AIR TIGHT. The
failure to secure an air tight seal is
responsible for IS per cent of tn
losses, therefore, it is imperative
that the very best of rubbers b
used, and that jars and tops b
selected with extreme care.
The Extension Service has
large supply of vegetable bulletin
circulars and recipes which may b
had for the asking. Mrs j. I

In Berlin the bread ration IS four

According to Information from the
Hub, FraZee will let the sports
writer's dope and guess to their
hearts desire concerning the identity
OF the 1918 manag ger, knowing that he
is benefiting by all the free publicity.
1t is rumored that, while McInnis will
be named manager of the ball club,
Frazee is peeved at the premature an
nouncement which puts an end to
much free publicity. For this reason
alone has he denied it.
Since Jack Barry enlisted as a yeo-
man in the navy, the Red Sox have re-
ceived the following newspaper man
ayers: Dick HoblitzeIl, Harry Hooper,
Larry Lajoie, Ed Barrow, Johnny
Evers, and Billy Murray. The latest
is "Stuffy" McInnis.
Hoblitzell lost out because he I'M
deTwent an eNamina ton in order to
enter the dental corps of the army.
Hooper was manager for one day in
the newspapers. Larry Lajoie's name
remained before the public for a week
or so, and then faded. Evers laughed
and said nothing. Billy Murray in
sisted he was done with baseball. Ed
Barrow's name brought a strong ne
NAL from Frazee and Barrow as well.
But, according to those on the in
sac. MClunls Will lOIuldllA DC hdilSN

Still Talk Of Henry.
John Henry's name still continues
to appear in Boston papers in cOnnec-
tion with the Red SoX, despite Clark
Griffth's detailed explanation of the
whole matter. Boston writer's say
that Henry himself says that he will
not stand for a salary cut by the
Washington club: that II one is offered
and he cannot escape he will retire
from the game and remain AT Amherst
and attend to his bOX-making bust
ness.
Henry was one OF the H. CHEST paid
players with the Washington club.
He never held up the club, according
to Manager Griffith. who made this
extremely, plain during the Federal
League days. Grin praised Henry
for his attitude in this matter. There
fore. if Henry refuses to stand for
cut. it will be because he honestly be-
Iieves that his past actions deserve
recognition.
If Henry dons a Red So uniform.
il will be only after Manager Griffith
has obtained one OF those Eve catchers
now reserved by the Boston club. The
