CANNING
To the women of Marathon County:
My friends:

To the women of Marathon County:
My friends:
A work of greatest Importance dur
ing the coming months will be that
OF canning. May we ask you to do
more of it this year than you have
ever done before? You will be glad
for having done so much canning,
when the winter comes and you will
nave good supply of food on hand
all ready prepared for the table.
The U. S. Food Administration tells
us that we may have twenty-five
pounds of sugar at one time for can
ming purposes. This is not a very
large amount, SO we must plan care
fully how to make the best use of it..
There are several fruits which may
be canned without sugar, among them
raspberries, rhubarb and cherries.
Some fruits, such as apples, currants,
peaches, rhubarb and cherries may be
dried. Other fruits, as strawberries
and pineapple, are best canned with
sugar. No sugar need be used in the
canning of vegetables.
The method found most successful
in canning is the "One Period Cold
Pack" By using this method, the
| fruit or vegetable can be put out of
| the way in one afternoon and will
not have to be handled several times.
| Demonstrations on this way of can
ming will be given in as many places
as possible throughout the county and
| it will be to the interest of eyery
| house wife to attend at least one OF
these meetings. At these meetin gs
printed directions for canning will be
given out and any questions relative
to canning and drying will be ans
wered. We are urging the canning
campaign very urgently this year be-
cause it goes hand in hand with the
Better Gardens" The object of our
garden campaign is to provide vege-
tables for us all the year around, anC
the canning preserves these vegetables
in the best possible condition for use
Because of the large number OF
housekeepers who will do much can.
ming this summer there will be 2
great demand for jars, covers ant
rubbers. So you are urged to buy
your canning supplies early, and Sc
relieve the danger of congestion il
transportation. In so doing you viii
also be sure of your supplies Wher
the fruits and vegetables are ready
to can,. and your food will not b,
wasted because you have no way t.
care for it. Buy new covers and rub
bers for the jars you have on hand
1t will pay you to do this rather thar
to risk your fruits and vegetables
spelling
L earnestly urge YOU to do all il
your power to conserve our food sup
ply for the coming year by cannin,
and drying the vegetables which yo,
could not store otherwise And won
you feel that l am here to help yol
in any way possible?
Sincerely yours,
MARY A BRADY.

The 53rd Inf. will soon move away

for overseas duty yesterday, and l
passed. The fellows who do not pass
are kept for domestic service. Several
received their discharge yesterday and
are on their way home l also re-
celVed my appointment as Corporal

work on my part, but of course |
will not have to do any fatigue work
We are supposed to be paid today
but do not know whether they will
get around to it.
There is fellow in Company A
from Wausau by the name of Kapinski
His home is on the west side.
Well l guess l will have to close

Further Promotion i'm Naval Life
Armed Draft Detail,
Navy Yard, New York,

June Is, 1918.
F, My old ship reached port yesterday
after having made another success
full and uneventful voyage across and
| back. My former shipmates tell me
that they had very enjoyable trip
! this time, as good weather favored
them both ways and they tell me the
seas were as smooth as glass most of
| the time.
1 have been enjoying life in New
York, and although the subs were
over on this side, one could notice no
| difference, and things seemed to move
as usual. Although they were COM
PEELED to darken all bright lights,
night life kept it's former gaiety. This
was done as precautionary measure
against an attempted air raid that the
Germans might have tried to carry
out, as the subs could very easily
have been fitted out with sea planes,
which they could assemble and send
up at night
| had the pleasure of meeting Irwin
Peters of Wausau, recently. Irwin
saw my address in the Pilot and sent
me card and l looked him up i'm
mediately.
Good fortune seems to be coming
my way although my success in the
Navy depends upon an examination
that am taking on Tuesday next
| was recommended by my immediate
superior officers for a commission as
Assistant Paymaster, and a course of
training at Annapolis. | have taken
two examinations this week and have
been successful so far, but have an
other physical and mental examina-
ton to take on Tuesday, having re-
ceived orders from Rear Admiral
Usher, Commandant of the Third Naval
District, to appear at that time for
the same. These tests will be very
severe, especially the mental examina-
tion, which comprises the following
studies: Arithmetic, Geography, Alge-
bra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Com
position, General Information, etc. 1t
has been about nine years since left
school and have had only a very
short time to prepare for same, but
have been hard at work during nv
spare hours in reviewing my studies
and they are gradually coming back
to me. If | qualify l will be given
provisional appointment, which car
r1es with it a rank and title equiva-
lent to that of Ensign. My heart and
soul have been set on reaching this
goal and l certainly will do every
thing in my power to obtain it.
l have also had the honor of be-
coming a member of the Sea and
Field Lodge No. l, F. & A. M. in New
York, and certainly feel proud to be
member of such grand organiza-
tion.
see Miss Eleanor Benson at the
home of Mrs. Joseph Lawrence .oc-
caslonally. Mrs. Lawrence is related
to me, and has visited relatives in
Wausau on several occasions.
Must bring this to a close, and wish
to extend my regards to my Wausau
friends and the Pilot"

OCCURRENCES OF. LONG AGO.
ITEMS OF NEWS BOILED DOWN FROM THE
WAJJSAU PILOT TE1IRTY-TEIREE YEARS AGO

and on Saturday evening Charlie Nc
Indoe carried off the palm.
Jacob Gensman has, at his place of
business, design showing the front
of his proposed new building, which
is to occupy the site upon which his
buildings now stand on Third street.
1t shows three story building with
a mansard roof, finished in an elegant
manner.
On Friday evening last, Nov. 14th,
the friends of Frank Mathie rendered
him very pleasant surprise party,
at his residence on Grand avenue. 1t
was the 57th birthday of Mr.. Mathie,
and it was thought to be a fitting
time to show the high esteem in which
he was held by his many friends.
Mrs. VIM. Kelly and daughter re-
turned from a short visit to Chicago
and other points yesterday.
Fred Zentner of Oshkosh was in
the city several days last week, visit
ing his sons, Fred and Henry. He re-
turned on Saturday.
Mrs. M. Scholfield and daughters de-
parted for Washington, d. c., last
Friday, where they intend spending
part of the coming winter.
Harry Graffam journeyed to Chicago
the early part of the past week, to
meet his wife, who has been visiting
in Iowa.
On Wednesday night last David L.
Quaw died at his home in Nashville,
Tenn. The sad news was received
in this city on Thursday, and S. M.
and VIM. Quaw, brothers of the de-
ceased, departed at once to attend the
funeral ceremonies. Dave" Quaw re-
sided in Wausau about ten years
previous to his going to Tennessee
and was known by everybody, owing
to his genial ways.

RESUMPTION OF
CAR SERVICE
Credit Should be Given Wisconsin
Valley Electric COmpany-Is
Losing Business

In the resumption of the street
car service today some credit should
be given the Wisconsin Valley Elec-
trio company and it's executive head,
M. G. Ewing. 1t is an undisputed
fact that the railway does not pay and
there is no law that compels any COM
pany or public utility to operate at
loss. 1t is reasonable to expect that
the railway does not pay in a city
the size of Merrill, when service is
being discontinued in cities three
times the size of Merrill right in our
own state. We refer to the stopping
of the service in Kenosha this last
month. That this city needs the SER
vice is an undisputed fact but that
the company has to operate a losing
business is another question and no
one can force them if they do not
want to operate the railway line.-

Tuesday, November IS, 1884

A handsome new sidewalk is being
laid by Pat Delaney around his lots,
corner of Second and Mcclellan
streets.
A very pleasant social party was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Will Murray
last Thursday evening, at their home
on Warren street.
If you want to see a sweet con-
tented smile, drop into the city tele-
graph office and say, We'll, Gearhart,
what is the latest?" This was just
after the election when Mr.. Blaine
and Cleveland ran such a close race.
At the last council meeting it was
decided to take fifty-two lamps from
the gas company to light our streets
at $25 per lamp.
C. H. Mosher came near losing an
eye last Wednesday. He was STOPPING
over in front of the COW in the barn,
when she suddenly raised her head,
one Of her horns entering the right
eye just above the eyeball. Mr. Mosh-
er does not consider the wound a bad
one; it might have been a good deal
worse.
The dedication of the M. E. church
did not take place last Sabbath as
per announcement, owing to the fact
that the factory failed to furnish the
glass on time. We are authorized to
say, by the Rev. Mr.. Wharton, that
when the windows arrive and are put
in place, the time of the dedication
will be made known. No failure next
time.

BLACK BAND HAS BEEN APPROVED
AS INDICATION OF MOURNING
FOR AMERICAN BOYS DYING
in THE SERVICE

The Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense at meet
ing in Washington, recently, recon-
mended instead of the usual mourn
ing, the wearing of a three-inch black
band upon the left arm, upon which
a gilt star should be placed for each
member Of a family, whose life has
been lost in the service.
This resolution was laid before
President Wilson for his approval, and
received his cordial endorsement. The
president entirely approved of the ac-
tion taken by the Woman's Commit
tee, and expressed hope and belief
that thoughtful people everywhere will
approve of the same.

CAR FARE RATES INCREASING

In many places in the country the
street car fares are being raised from
to cents. In Sioux Falls, S. Oak,
the question of an increase was voted
upon by the citizens and carried by
a large majority. Up to this date the
Wausau company has not announced
an increase, but before the war there
was not enough profit 10 make it a
paying investment, and certainly with
the increase in operating expenses the
advance would be justified. The rail
road rates have had to be increased
to keep from going into bankruptcy.
Such rates are as necessary to give
service as are tracks, cars, power
houses, transmission and other mater
ial things.

Sour Stomach

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited to your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine what
ever. When you have sour stomach
take one of Chamberlain Tablets to
aid digestion.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS WANT MORE
BOOKS

We are all eager to render patriotic
service in one way or another. Here
is another opportunity. The Pilot has
published several articles on the need
of good books for. our soldier boys,
and the response to the appeal has
been most liberal. The local library
will be glad to accept all books in
this vicinity for distribution to the
various camps, and the librarian will
see to it that the books are gotten to
the boys. 1t is hoped that our people
will get into the habit of turning in
to the public library for the soldiers
the new books as soon as they have
been read. Good books are continu-
ally needed for the military forts,
posts and small camps; for the naval
stations and vessels; for the marine
corps training stations and barracks; !;
for the men on transports and over
seas. There is need for an almost
unlimited supply. For every man in
service there ought to be a book in
the service. Books wear out in con-
stant use, and they must be replaced
frequently.
Give the books you prize most; not
the one you care for least Give the
book that causes a pang at parting,
like saying goodbye to an old friend.
Ten chances to one it will mean more
to some soldier boy. Give the book
that is still alive. Give your latest
war book. The boy in khaki is wait
ing for it. Reading it will prepare
him for conditions ''over there" Give
books on technical subjects; there is
an insistent call for books on aero
planes, automobiles, gas engines and
engineering topics generally.
Write your name and message on
the lily leaf. Remember that he gives
twice, who gives quickly. Don't give
thoughtlessly. We are judged by what
we give.
