Put Up Every Pound of
Fruit You Can Get
This Summer

Many a woman hesitates to try putting
up fruit at home.
She fears she will only waste expensive
materials.
It really is very simple. Just make your
preserving syrup with "a Karo (Red Label
and IA sugar instead of sugar alone.
You can then be as sure of your results
as the woman who always has 'luck" with
her preserving.
Nice fine, clear Karo Syrup has a natural
affinity for the fruit juices. 1t blends the
sugar with the juice brings out the rich
t'frlity' flavor, and insures firm jams and
jellies that never candy in the glass.
A well-flled fruit pantry will give you
much pleasure this winter, when fresh fruits
are scarce and high, if you just use Karo
Syrup with your sugar.
For Cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo
(Red Label is used in millions of homes. In all
cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead of
sugar. 1t is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings
out the natural flavor Of the food.

duty in the blood is to fight off germs
and waste matter and carry them out
of the system.
It's the advice of a noted physician
that people who are pale and have no
energy and who feel respondent over
their lack of strength and good red
blood should begin at once to revital-
ize their impoverished blood. Renewed
blood, strength and force will be their
greatest fertilization against the

Thin. weak blood can best be
strengthened by an effective blood
food such as Novo San (meaning new
blood). Novo San is not a stimulant
that gives you immense strength
magically but is a pure and efficient
blood builder made of elements that
gain almost immediate access to the
blood. 1t is particularly strong as
blood builder because of its power
to add white corpuscles to the blood
just the element in the blood, weak

JOHN MITCHELL

Former Mine President Un-

Days Ago

New York, Sept. 1o.-John Nit
chell, former president of the United
Mine Workers of America and one
of the most widely known labor
leaders in the United States, died
late yesterday afternoon at the Post
Graduate Hospital.
Mr.. Mitchell was only 40 years
old. Although he underwent an
operation ten days ago for the re-
moval of gall stones, his condition
had been reported as entirely salts
factory and his death was wholly
unexpected by his friends, as he had
been i'll only a few days before he
was taken to the hospital.
With Mr.. Mitchell when he died
were his wife, a son and daughter.
Governor Smith, who had called to
inquire about his condition, arrived
only q few minutes after he had
breathed his last. 1t was said by
his physicians that while there had
been every reason to expect his re-
covery, Mr.. Mitchell had failed to
rally from the effects of the opera
ton.
Since 1915 Mr.. Mitchell had been
chairman of the New York State

FIST IS QUICKER
THAN THE SWORD
Americans Billeted in Vladi-
vostok Have Made Big
Impression There

New York, Sept. 10.-The Co.'S
sack sword may be mighty, but the
American fist is quicker.
The Cossack with the unwieldy
FURNISHED blade, who was a little
late in removing the weapon from
his scabbard after he'd picked an
argument with a Yank-he'll say so.
Seven thousand American soldiers
are billeted in and around Vlad-
ivostok, eager to get home. When
they do go they will have impressed
upon the Allied military outfits of
about thirty nations that cold steel
isn't absolutely necessary to main
tain physical supremacy in an ar
gument.
To-day, the American soldier
stands in Siberia as the unconquered
cave-man, dyed-in-the-wool cham
pion of his own rights. He isn't
looking for trouble-but when he
meets it-bing! Christopher Scaife,
formerly director of Y. NJ. c. A.
Army and Navy work in Siberia, tes-
titles to that. Mr.. Scaife has just
arrived from Vladivostok.
"Often I have seen as many as 80
nationalities represented in uniform
hut at Vladivostok," explained
Scaife. Naturally, dissension crops
out occasionally. Nothing serious.
lJust a little scrap. And they don't
tr-d on our boys, either.
Now take for instance a peeved
Cossack. H has his long sword,
which he will brandish upon provo
cation. In contrast, the American
soldier unlike the Cossack, the
Japanese or other soldiers in Si-
IBERIA, has no side-arm. Well, when
he gets into an argument with the
Cossacks he labors under handicap.
While the Cossack is tugging away
at his sword, Mr.. American packs u
sledge- fist blow upon Mr.
Cossack's nose, and Mr.. Cossack
aviates to the solar regions before
descending"

FIND NEW WAYS
TO EARN MONEY
Disabled Soldiers Attract At
tention Throughout
London

London, Sept. 10.-Disabled Brit
ish officers who have been dis
charged from the service but who
are unable to live on their pensions
are attracting attention by the novel
methods they are using to earn a
little extra money.
Two of them appeared in Blooms
burg recently. Each wore his serv-
ice tunic with wound stripes. Be-
tween them they trundled q street
piano and the man who turned the
handle wore the ribbon of the Mill
tary Cross. On the back of the
piano was a placard bearing these
words:
"1914-Not too proud to fight"
"1919-Not too proud to ask a
gratuity."
'I am not at the last myself"
said one of the officers, but I
couldn't see my friend go into the
street with his machine alone. He
cannot get work and he cannot get
his gratuity, and he cannot live oil
a pension of 500 a year. His leg
was shattered, and he wears a sill
yer splint. He was in a hospital
nineteen months. They give him n
pension of 500 a year, but he can't
get medical treatment, and the
money due him as gratuity is not
paid him by the Government. No
doubt the Government will eventu-
ally pay it, but meanwhile he has to
live.
I'VE are going to take this ma
chine back. We had no idea the
experience would be so humiliating.

NEW DISCOVERIES WILL
COMBAT FLU" EPIDEMIC

New York, Sept. 10.-A new gen.
eral outbreak of Spanish fiu," pre-
dicted for the coming winter in
a recent warning by DIR. Royal s.
Copeland, Health Commissioner for
New York City, has given rise to
alarmed speculation as to the pre-
paredness OF medical science 10
cope with another epidemic of the
dreaded disease. DR.. Copeland, an
ophthalmologist of international
reputation, and late a member of
the medical section of the Council
of National Defense, says that the
country is to undergo another siege
of the influenza which took such
a great toll of lives last year, and
the health department of New York
Is laying its plans accordingly.
Whether the recurrence of the
"hu" is to prove as generally fatal
as 1t did when it first raised its
head a year ago depends almost
entirely" on the progress the coun-
try's medical men can make in the
perfection of a serum to fight the
disease, and practicing physicians
are greatly encouraged in this con-
nection by what has been done by
experts of the big medical schools.
The uncertainty as to the nature
OF the infection, the varied charac-
ter of the effects found in the lungs
of different patients, and the null
tiplicity of the various complicating
organisms which invade the lungs
when weakened by the influenza,
have combined to make exceedingly
difficult the task of finding a serum,
but recent experiments by promi-
nent members of the staff of the
Harvard Medical School indicate
that science will face a new cpl
demic with a far greater hope of
success than before.
Although the Harvard Medical
School has been very much handi-
capped by the large number of its
experts who have been in military
service. and is said to have had
no available funds for making an
intensive study of the last epidemic
of the influenza, a number of its
instructors have made independent
Investigations for the Government
which have shed important light on

Milford, Conn, Sept. 10.-Devel-
opments in the case of Benjamin
Binkowitz, a New York bank mes
senger whose murdered body was
found in woods here on August 20,
turned to-day to attempts to make
identity absolute and to determine
whether he was slain near where his
body was found or in New York
state. The body was disinterred but
was in such a condition that his
mother, here to view it, was not al
lowed to do so. New York police
officers present inclined to the belief
that Binkowitz met death here at
the hands of thieves who had trailed
him from New York.
