SAVE SURPLUS FRUITS
AND VEGETABLE

The canning season is one that can
almost be a constant one in Florida,
says the State Marketing Bureau.
The scarcity of sugar rather limits
the putting up of much sweet stuff,
in the form of preserves, jellies and
jams, but there is nothing to prevent
the putting up of soup stuff--toma.
toes, beans, corn, okra, and other
vegetables from time to time.
It is hoped that all who may have
surplus eatables will make it a point
to get all their containers full and
help along with the food supply.
Farmers Bulletins Nos. S39, SAL,
952, 900, and GIG, issued by the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul
ture, Washington, d. c., give sugges.
tions of value to individuals and
communities in the matter Of canning
and drying products Of various kinds.
The preservation Of vegetables by
canning has taken a strong hold, but
there are other ways Of doing it for
home use more cheaply than in cans
and jars. This method makes use of
the preservative qualities of salt and
Tactic acid--an acid produced by fer
mentation, as in sour milk
The methods of preserving in salt
is generally understood as we'll as by
fermentation, and the products thus
prepared give variety for the appe-
tite and the cost is less.
Interested parties can get plenty
of information on the preservation Of
fruits and vegetables from the United
States Experiment Station of Agri.
culture, Washington, d. c., the Flor.
ida State Experiment Station at
Gainesville, and the Home Economic
Department of the Florida State Col.
lege for Women at Tallahassee.
With foresight there can be plenty
and to spare in every Florida farm
home.

One More Thing To Dust

The most fascinating tale came to
me recently of a woman who went
abroad with one steamer trunk, and
in that steamer trunk were absolutely
all her possessions!
She didn't have a lot of furniture
in q storeroom in some warehouse
nor even a trunkful of clothes and
letters and memorabilia in someone's
garnet. She had given away, de-
stroyed Or sold every living thing she
possessed!
Perhaps She Regretted Some Things.
Doubtless she lived to regret some of
those things There must have been
books she wanted to consult, clothes
she could have used, and household
goods that she could not replace
when she started in to furnish again.
But what a. blessed sensation Of
freedom from the tyranny of things
she must have felt at the time!
The mania to acquire and hoard is
one of the primitive instincts Of man.
We Want to Be Free, Even From
Possessions.

FAIRBANKS MAKES
EN- LAUGH AT LYCEUM

Capacity audiences at the Lyceum
theater yesterday afternoon and even
ing smiled, snickered, laughed, roared,
and then screamed, whole heartedly
and satisfyingiy, as Douglas Fairbanks,
the one and only Douglas" brought
them through experience after expert
ence via his new motion picture film,
"A Modern Musketeer.' There was
hardly a dry eye in the audience when
the picture ended (this sentence may
sound as though a funeral is being de-
scribed), for tears of pure joy and
delight flowed just as abundantly over
his indescribable actions as tears of
sorrow used to when watching Little
Eva go to Heaven, and was a new
experience to American theatergoers.
There is only one way of looking at
it-Fairbanks is the master OF polite
comedy and is the ranking actor of
that class in picture circles today. He
has shown it ever since his directors
commenced furnishing him with prop
completed and given to the world, the
fact is emphasized. Fairbanks just
bubbles over with the joy of living,
and his nature becomes contagious,
his audience following him through
from beginning to end.
If there is any one character the
average picture audience is in SYM
pathy with, it is that of the man who
always means right, but who, for one
reason or another, is misunderstood
and constantly gets into hot water.
When the audience realizes what this
actor means to do and is in sympathy
with him, while the other screen &C.
tors take him wrong, that actor has
his audience pulling with him all the
time Such q character Fairbanks is
in "A Modern Musleteer.' AS a
young man of most diVinely cour-
teous nature always trying to allevi-
ate the troubles of women, he is mis-
understood by those whom he tries to
assist and is forced to explain per-
fectly harmless actions.
Then he falls in love and is snubbed
by the object of his affections, while
her mother adds to his misery by re-
fusing to look on the attempted ro-
nance in a favorable light. But who
can resist Doug? IF at first you don't
succeed, try, try again. thinks Doug,
and he goes out after her again and
again. to be blessed with success in
the end. There is not single slow
moment in the entire story, Douglas
picking up the threads and carrying
the action along at a breakneck speed.
Tonight there will be two perform
ances in addition to the regular per-
Torrance this afternoon. This is in
order that everybody desiring to wit
ness the film may have an opportunity
to do so. "A Modern Musketeer' is
another big Fairbanks success worth
going a long way to see Ask those
who saw it yesterday.
Rubini and Martini, in a unique
musical act, in which accordeons play
the principal part, open the bill.
They went over big yesterday, their
ragtime numbers proving especially
popular. John Clark. Irish comedian,
