New pyak Fashions.

Dyak is a word which conveys to
most folk the idea of people whose
tribal pastime consists In cutting off
the heads of their neighbors and pr =
serving the dried skulls as ornaments
for their homes. When the first mis-
sionaries went to Borneo, where the
Dyaks live, they were fortunate II
. they kept their heads on their shoul-
ders. Today the Dyaks have ceased
head hunting. have given themselves
: to farming and have taken on clothes
and other evidences of civilization

as 1t did when missionaries FIRST went

and fitted with handles on either end
which stick up above the hot water.
This basket makes an excellent false
bottom and at the same time enables
the housewife without trouble to lift
several Jars in or out of the hot-water
bath at one time.
With such equipment, clean, airy
kitchen and utensils, or fire and clean
tables In shady clean place out of
doors, the housewife will need only to
follow directions carefully, work quick
sly, and be ever watchful of sanitary
conditions, to can and preserve garden
products successfully. When the re-
huired temperature to, sterilize (boil,
isteam) various products Is reached,
ley must be held for the length of
<time stated In processing (heating)
timetables, and the Jars must be seal
ed alright Immediately after the pro-
cessng.
a Some steps In the procedure may
Seem unnecessary to the amateur, but
ithe operations of blanching, boiling or,
'steaming of Jars, attention, to rubber
rings, and final sealing have an impor-
ttant function In aiding to kill moids,
yeasts, and bacteria and in preventing
their re-entry into the food. Is
Since all successful canning is de-
pendent upon sterilization by means Of
heat. 1t Is most important to apply suf.I
hcient heat to make the products ster-!
lie. Do not let filed jars cool before
they are sealed. Seal them tight while
ttney are san hot from the bath. The
hotter the product when sealed the
less chance that molds and bacteria
from the air win enter the Jar, live.

SENT TO FRANCE, BACK AGAIN,
Soldier Got Over and Then Sent
Home.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Louis Mel,
liaud, a young South Dakotan, had a
trip to England and France, and
over a good part of the United
States, at the expense of Uncle Sam,
and all because of the delay in UNI
winding the red tape necessary to Sc
cure his release from military serv-
ice. He has just returned to his
home in South Dakota, coming di-
rect from France.
Young Millaud lives with his
mother on farm near Bridgewater,
South Dakota, and is her sole sup
port. Early last fall he was sum-
moned to the colors under the selec-
tive draft and left with the Hutch
inson county contingent for Camp
Funston, where he spent several
months in training In the spring OF
this year kind neighbors put in the
crop for him on the old farm where
himself and mother lived, and in due
time his mother filed an application
for his exemption on agricultural
grounds, and for the further reason
that he was her sole support.
While unwinding of the red
tape was commencing the young man
was preparing to leave with his COM
pany for France. Finally the order
for his discharge was issued, but it
reached the port of embarkation too
late-young Meillaud was on his way
over. He landed at an English port,
saw London; went to France and Wis
tied Paris and other cities, and had
an opportunity to study modern war
fare at close range when the order
for his release from the army was
cabled to General Pershing.

ARREST SOLDIERS WIFE.
Found IN Close Company With An
other Man.

! Mrs. Ethel Smith, comely young
woman, twenty-five years old, wife
of a Council Bluffs soldier, who was
among the first Iowa troops to
reach FRANCE, and her alleged clande-
slime admirer, Harold Clark, nine
teen years old, are held under bonds
to await action of the grand jury.
Judge Frank Capell, before SEN
fencing the couple, delivered scath-
ing rebuke to the woman He de-
clared that any soldiers wife who
was guilty of misconduct during the
absence of her husband was disloyal
to her country as we'll as to her hus-
band.
Mrs. Smith is an unusually attrac.
tive woman. She is athletic as we'll
as good looking, and has been work
ing as a freight trucker at the Union
Pacific freight house, where she has
been making a mans wages.
Judge Capell's talk 70 The young
man in the case made him hang his
head. The court said any iaan, Odd
or young, who would strike blow
at the flag by contributing to the de-
linquency of the wife, of soldier was
beneath the contempt of honest loy7
al people. ,

Z With a hot-water bath outfit the
home Gamer can boil (process) the
filed Jars or cans so that when finally
sealed the contents are reasonably GER
tain to keep.
A false bottom for the processing
vessel is practically an essential. Its
purpose is to allow free circulation of
the boiling water around and under the
jars and also to prevent the jars from
resting on the metal bottom right next
to the flame. Such a false bottom can
readily be made QUE OF pieces Of lath
or wood or by bending apiece of stiff
wire netting. Still more convenient
will be wire basket with small legs
