MAKE YOUR OWN
CANNED FRUIT

Fruit which is to be candied should
be washed, peeled or pared if neces-
sary, and then cut or sliced. Drop
fruit into boiling water for two or
three minutes, drain well and cover
with syrup made by boiling toget-
her one pound of sugar for each
pound of fruit, with one cup of water
Boil fruit rapidly in this syrup for
Is minutes. Remove from the fire
and allow to stand over night. The
next morning boil for 10 or ID MIN
utes again. Repeat the heating and
cooling for to 6 days, according to
how rapidly the water is drawn out
and the syrup absorbed. When the
fruit is transparent and bright life 1t
from the syrup and dry in the sun
or in q cool oven.

sirup favored with cane.
When Quantity Is Camouflaged
The use of panel bottles which APP
pear to have a capacity of four ounces
of fiavo1ing extract, but which on ac-
count of the thickness and contour
of the sides can not be made to hold
more than two ounces, is an old prac-
tice to deceive the housewife In re-
gard to the quantity. Even when the
quantity of contents is marked on the
bottle, the purchased is likely tC
judge the quantity more by the size
of the bottle, which is so apparent,
than by an inconspicous statement,
which can be seen only by close OBJ
servation.
A more recent device for making q
little bit of pepper or spice look like
whole lot is a six-ounce tin pack
age with a shaker top which, because
it can not be removed without des-
troying the package, prevents the
purchaser from observing that there
are only two ounces or less in the
package.
Deceptive devices appearing on the
labels of foods or drugs subject to
the jurisdiction Of the Federal Food
and Drugs Act are in violation of
that law. The question as to whether
any given device is deceptive, and
whether the deception is removed by
corrective statements appearing on
the label, is one to be determined by
the facts in each case. Many seiz-
ures have been effected and many
prosecutions maintained because of
the use of deceptive devices held
to be misleading. Some forms of de-
vices, although deceptive, which do
not appear upon the labels, have been
held not to be covered by the provi-
sions Of the Federal Food and Drug
Act.
Action will be taken in all cases
believed to be in violation of the law,
say the officials. In the meantime
consumers can avoid being mislead
by deceptive devices by carefully
reading the labels of all food and
drug packages.

Each jar will have whole tomato pu-
rec for soups. or sauces. This sauce
is made by cooking the small or brok-
en- tomatoes until tender. The seeds
are then removed and the pulp con-
centrated by boiling to about the
consistency of catsup. Process quart
Jars for the 80 minutes.
If desired, all of the tomatoes may
be cooked to a pulp and a more
economical utilization of space with
in the jar will be obtained.-United

offered a recommendation as fol-
lows:
"On account of the growing ad-
ministrative and clerical duties oc-
casioned by the policy of directing
all school supplies through the store
room, I recommend that Andrew
Smith be transferred to another pos
ition in which such duties are not
required and that anothe- man, with
business experience and training, be
placed in charge of the store room" :"
That recommendation was adopt
ed, although director Firoved ques-
toned the good faith in the matter
gravely. The steam roller flattened
Andrew Smith out too thin for easy
recognition. Autocracy once more was
in the saddle, bolstered up by two
directors who betrayed the people
who elected them.
1t seems that Andrew Smith has
worked for the board of education 26
years. He started at $35 a month in
time of the big panic. He slowly
climbed up to $65. Then, for many
years, he did not get past $S5 a
month. This year, alone, his salary
has been $115, even Madam Davis
saying how faithful Andrew had
been and how worthy he was of a
raise.
To man up tree, it looks
as If Andrew Smith is in bad

year, $1,000; sixth year, $1125. To
those salaries, there will additional
compensation Of $40 a month, for
nine and one-half months, for COM
pletion of contract by the teacher.
Junior high school teachers with
normal school standing, will receive
$500 tho first year and $875,
$3.50, $1025, $1100, and Sits for
the ensuing five years of experience;
also the bonus of SO a month for
completion of contract.
Teachers coming under that classi-
fication can secure SIS additional for
seventh, eighth and ninth years by
taking special study or through spe-
cial recommendation.
Junior and senior school teachers
with college standing will receive
5000 for the first year and an in
crease of SIS year for the eight en-
suing years, when, for the ninth year,
the salary will be $1,000 with
the addition of the bonus of SO a
month for completion of contract.
All junior and senior high school
teachers with college training are
eligible to additional increases be-
yond the regular maximum of

When, the leaders in high moral
endeavor get the jitney busses side
tracked on the route between New
Duluth and Oliver, they might in
vestigate what seems to be a blind
pig in the good old Phoenix build
ing.
The Phoenix building, by the way,
belongs to the Massachusetts, Real
Estate Company, a nonresident out
fit that clips mortgage coupons and
collects rentals in Duluth from Bos-
ton, that great center for blue stock
ings, beans and brains.
The venerable old Phoenix block
is located at the corner of Fourth
avenue w. and Superior St., facing
the dignified Providence building
and across the avenue from the dem
ocratic Palladio building. One Harry
George is credited with being the
agent who sweats rents out Of the
tenants and then forwards them to
dear old Boston.
The rear of the Phoenix black has
front facing the avenue and side
is exposed to the alley. Through that
convenient alley, many teams and
automobiles drive daily. Pedestrians
frequently pad through there but not
nearly so numerously as in the days
when Charley Boyle served those
tender beef-steaks and poured out
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-04-26

with Supt. Hoke for num-
Der of petty reasons. He is held
responsible. it may be, for letting
director Firoved discover a lot of
useless blanks down there in the
bookroom, to which he called point
ed attention some time ago. Andrew
Smith may know too much for the
peace Of mind of the timid superin-
tendent and now that the Autocrats
again are in the saddle, the little
man dares show his teeth.
The mandate has gone forth.
None but blind partisans of Supt.
Hoke must be kept on the public
payrolls. Men will be brought from
Minneapolis to rattle around in jobs
that Duluth men could fill more
profitably and efficiently.
The poor weakling must have q
strong, effective machine, even if the
school district goes bankrupt. With
one traitor on the right hand and
one on the left of the misfit SUPER
intendent, patrons and commoners
who reside and pay taxes in Duluth
must be chased to the rear.
The board unanimously adopted a
salary schedule for the coming year,
on recommendation of the committee
on schools, as follows, viz:
Kindergarten assistants - First
year, $3.50; second year, 1926; third
year, 5000; fourth year, 1915; fifth

There seem to be some rooms over

others lodging places for mere males.

jitney, No. 1S4462. In those times,
they drove in, looked carefully
around and then, If all seemed well,
they lifted up a seat and took out
gunnysacks filled with bottles of
some kind. Frequently the sacks
would be old and the bottle necks
would stick out like those of spring
chickens from a coop.

SHOULD IMPROVE RAILROAD STREET
Highway
Substantial Improvement Would Facilitate Traffic Relieve
Exceedingly Heavy Congestion Superior Street.

At last there is demand for the
paving of Railroad street. Why this
has not been done long ago, the Rip
saw has not been able to find out,
although inquiry has not been deep
ly made.
There is a great cry about the
congestion on Superior st. Heavily
loaded trucks of the wholesale
houses compete with street cars, au-
tomobiles, pleasure vehicles and foot
PASSENGER for space on that marrow,
crowded street.
The vitrified pavement rings like
a bell and almost deafens those who
occupy front offices in buildings
facing the street or citizens who do
business along the curbstone. There
are many such. Then, too, 5-ton
trucks have ample ability to crush
and wear out that brick pavement
in undue time.
If railroad street were properly
improved from it's Eastern terminus,
through to Garfield avenue and even
somewhat beyond, it would provide
an ideal outlet for the many big COM
mercial houses along it. A hard
climb up to Superior street would
be eliminated. Michigan street not
only has it's limitations but the Food
Hogs we'll block some of it and one
section comes too closely to the
Point of Rocks for effective service
as an outlet to the westward.
Any wholesale or distributing firm
that makes deliveries to Superior,
the West End, West Duluth or be-
yond, would be greatly facilitated if
Railroad street were properly grad
ed, drained and paved. For heavy
traffic that would follow a proper
improvement, sandstone would seem
the most practical and economical.
Most of the Lake avenue jobbers
and manufacturers would and could
use Railroad street to great advan-
tage. Even the N. P. R., and Omaha
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1919-04-26

freight houses would benefit. The
Steamboat docks, the Northern Cold
Storage, N. w., Electric Equipment
Co., the Northern Fish Co., the Du-
luth Creamery & Produce Co., the
Huron Portland Cement Co., the
Kelly Island Lime & Transportation
Co., the Northwestern Oil Co., the
salt and cement plants of the Cutler
Magner interests, the Marine Iron
& Shipbuilding Co., the 500 Line and
South Shore freight depot. the ,Kel-
sfey=How-Th0nlson Hardware CO., the
Stone Ordean Co., the Northern Drug
Co., F. A. Patrick interests and many
others would have quicker, easier
and more satisfactory outlet if Rail-
road St., were property paved.
There is some sort of crude paving
on that street now but it is so deeply
down in muck and mire that no
one can see it. Some wheels lack
sufficient diameter to strike it in
some places. It's what is called Tel
ford paving, a system where coarse
rock, some blocks so heavy as to
require two men to lift, are laid
down and then surfaced with finer
material, properly rolled or tamped.
It is not system that gives smooth
ness or that is most suitable for the
extremely heavy loads now carried
by modern trucks.
On top of that rock paving have
been dumped cinders, ashes and, pos
sibly, dirt and refuse. Why cinders
and ashes are used to surface the
paving, has not been explained. AS
result, when spring thaws and
rains arrive, that roadway becomes a
veritable quagmire. Horses have to
wade through it and automobiles
splash and spatter through it if they
really get through. Some of the big
loads hauled by heavy three-horse
teams have stuck there repeatedly
this spring. In some cases, couple
of hours of valuable time were vast
ed before the loads were extricated.

was younger man, less corpulent,
wearing a hat, usually, and we'll
dressed, as was the man with the
exaggerated tummy.
Recently, about twice a week on
an average, these men have been
coming in a Ford, Minnesota license
No. 61347. A week ago yesterday,
three big, heavy boxes of drinkable
stuff were unloaded and toted up
those back stairs and put Under
cover. The convenient little Ford
comes on an average of about twice
a week. If any who are interested
will keep tab, they likely will see
this booze chariot pull in there next
Tuesday or Wednesday and then
again about next Friday or Satur-
day.
In those rooms, bottles and glasses
can be seen on tables but, of course,
they may have been used in taking
medicine for the spring fever. The
man who receives those bags and
bottles Of booze must have either
the drinking capacity of desert
camel or else have lively, profit
able little blind pig.
Now that Nels Christianson's tiny
little blind pig has been chased out
of the vault in room 201, Manhat-
tan building, a thrifty blind pig
ought to do well in the Phoenix
block.
