How to Can Peaches So They Will Keep
Until You Need Them.

In canning peaches sort the fruit and
select firm sound, uniform peaches The
soft or broken ones may be used for JAM
Remove the peel with knife, with boil
ing water or with boiling I've solution
Ii boiling water is used, immerse peaches
about one minute or until the skins slip
easily. Remove and plunge for an in
slant into cold water. Slip off the skins,
cut in halves and pack at once into jars
which have previously been boiled Is
minutes.
Some peaches have skins which will
not slip of after treating with clear boil
ing water. For them or for any peaches,
the I've method Of peeling may be used
when they are firm, perfect and not too
ripe. Have ready boiling I've solution
flour tablespoons of commercial concen-
trated lye to four quarts of waterl Drop
the peaches into this for about 20 to so
seconds. Lift out and drop into clear
boiling water for 80 seconds. Remove
and place for an instant in cold water
The skins viii then come off easily.
Cracked Pits in Jars.
Before preparing the fruit, make syr-
up of seven cups Of sugar to four quarts
Of water or, it richer syrup is desired
use Ii cups Of sugar to four quarts of
water. Allow one cup Of water for each
quart jar Put one cracked peach pit
for each quart of syrup into it. Boil
syrup for five minutes.
The peach halves should be placed in
the jar in overlapping layers, the con.
cave surface of each half being down
ward Sometimes very large peaches are
canned whole in heavy syrup. These
are called Melba peaches. When the
jar is full of peaches, fill with hot syrup
and, with wooden paddle or knife, care
fully remove air bubbles.
Partially seal the jars with Mason
tops screw half way on; with glass tops,
put top wire bail in POSITION If u hot
water bath Gamer either commercial or
home made, is used place the Iars on a
false bottom with sufficient water in che
boiler to process them. The water should
cover the tops Of the jars.
Process, Test Seal, Store.
Boil quart jars in water bath for 30
minutes; two-quart jars, 81 minutes.
Count time when water starts boiling
vigorously after the jars are put into
it. Remove, tighten tops and invert to
test for leaks Store in cool, dark, dry
place.
If firm, perfect peaches are hoated in
boiling water for about 20 seconds after
being pecled, they are more flexible, pack
to better advantage, absorb more syrup
and are finer in flavor. Cut in half and
remove pits after floating in the boiling
water.-Unted States Department. Of

Some Canned Tomatoes Should Be Ready
on Your Pantry Shelves.

Tomatoes can probably be prepared in
greater number Of ways than any 9TH
er common vegetable. They form the
basis of many soups and are used in
sauces for fish or oysters As yege-
table, they may be used in many ways
Tomatoes are one of the stand bys in
salad making and the combinations made
with onions, pepper and spices are al
most endless. Canned, they do not spoil
easily when reasonable care is exercised
in the work.
One of the best methods of canning
tomatoes is; Select only sound and ripe
tomatoes. Dip them in boiling water for
about " minutes or until the skins
loosen. Remove skins and, with a sIen-
der pointed knife, cut out the core with
out cutting into the seed cells. Have IN
readiness jars which have been boiled Is
minutes. Pack the whole tomatoes into
the jars as rapidly as they are peeled.
Add one level teaspoon Of sugar and one
half teaspoon of salt to each quart. Put

Another procedure which is more eco

peeled whole tomatoes and then pour in
a thick tomato sauce Each jar will
have whole tomatoes for salads or bak-
ing and a tomato PURGE for soups or
sauces. This sauce is made by cooking
the small or broken tomatoes until ten

NO HANDICAP TO INDEPENDENCE
Admiration as Disabled Men Prove Their
Ability to Garry On.

Washington, d. G., Aug. l3.--ln the old
days when man found his leg gone or
his arm mangled, or realized he had mis-
laid few fingers in machine, he got
busy and hired small spot on a popu-
lous street corner and laid in stock of
chewing gum, shoe laces, and pencils.
If he contracted tuberculosis in the
factory, or cotton mill, or office he cashed
his last pay check, and bought a ham
mock under the coolest tree in the yard
where he could pass out comfortably.
If it was rheumatism that caught him,
he put brass ring on his third finger,
tied some horse radish leaves on his leg
and went home for his wife to support.
This was the past. The present il diff
ferent Whenever boat load of wound
ed soldiers arrive in New York, or some
hospital or camp is demobilized, long be-
fore the men have time to put in orders
for rings, pencils, or hammocks they are
met and re-routed by agents of the fed
erals board for vocational education.
They tell the boards agents their as
sets and liabilities, their ambitions in
life, and the reasons they had to fore
90 them, and the board gives each one a
new chance at some trade, school, shop,
or college, to learn the thing that he
wants most to do.
There never have been so many known
disabilities as far back as the memory
of man runneth. Every time few sol
diers return from camp or overseas, a
new edition of the medical dictionary
is needed to include such words a. "gassed,
she'll shock, war neurosis,' and other
things. But no matter what the dis
ability is the federal board has suit
able occupation to suggest All over the
country to-day they are learning to
carry on.
The board has met to date l48,93l dis
abed men, l4,609 have been placed in
employment, and 9,s7s are now training
for new job, while the cases of 1871
have been approved and will begin train

marines after there was stable force
of them-was merchant tonnage, because
they estimated the results to be thus at
tanned would soonest win the war for
them. II is pointed out that, with the
exception of the abortive attempt of last
November, for which their submarines
only went to sea, the Germans never
planned TO have fleet action and that
during the encounters that did occur only
casual German submarines participated.
Submarine advocates therefore argue
that the war furnished no data in the
way of results on which conclusions
should be based. However, it appears
that of the 1874 surface warships which
the British navy lost during the war by
enemy action 90 were sunk by torpedoes
from German submarines.
"The argument is made that despite
all hydrophone and kindred inventions
of a long period during which the best
inventive talent Of several nations
worked under high pressure, the subma
rine is still the only long radius vessel
which, singly and unsupported, can 60

at the worst, it is never liability that

the big ship still rules the ocean seems
to be generally accepted. How long it
will endure is the question. The war has
brought no basic advancement to big
ships only continuance of increase in
size, speed and also expense, which for
single units has become tremendous. No
one can begin to guess what advance the
next decade or two will see in other
weapons, now properly classed as auxil-
larry. But this much seems clear; If
there can be evolved no limitation in
character or size of naval armament, any
nation which holds blindly to one line
and fails to note development along 9th
ers will be in ultimate danger from
some other nation which does.
AT first the practieability of abolish
ing submarines seemed high, for the rea
son that it is purely war machine only,
has no place in commerce or sport and
would be difficult to conceal if possessed
in readiness for war. There is of late,
however, more doubt as to this practica
bility on the part of those who are keen

Amsterdam, Aug. Ia. - Ruman a n
troops are about to leave Budapest in

wireless dispatch received here from VII

Vienna, Tuesday, Aug. II (By the As
ISOLATED Press A statement attacking
England and America, demanding that
Hungary be united with Rumania under

Archduke Joseph, head of the Hungarian
government, by the authorized Ruma

text Of the statement, according to re-
port, follows:
"There are 100000 workmen in Buda-
pest, who are only waiting for the Ru-
manians to leave Hungary to immediate
ly take the situation into their own
hands, which means the return of boil
shevism. The Hungarian government
cannot depend upon the entente powers
for assistance, for those powers have
withdrawn all their troops from Russia,

soldier. We do not trust the entente,
which wants only to humiliate us. We
are willing to withdraw our troops II

but we viii carry off everything and
strip the country, just as Field Marshal
Mackensen did Rumania.
"The only grudge the entente has
against us is that we refuse to have
English and American capital dominate
Rumania. Hungary must follow Ruma-
MAS policy in not accepting English and
American capital. Whatever would re.
main after the Rumanians retreat would
be taken by the entente anyway The
entente idea is to have Rumania and
Hungary fight and destroy each other,
the entente thereby getting all There is
only one policy for Hungary to pursue,
that is a junction between Hungary and

ON COMMON GROUND.
An Instance When White and Black Citi-
zens Meet in Their Efforts to Help.

Some time ago the Providence Bap-
fist church, colored, in the country near
Eatonton, Putnam county, was burned
to the ground, presumably by incen-
diaries.
The pastor applied to a w9ll-known
philanthropist of Atlanta for subscrip-
ton to fund raised with which to re-
place the burned edifce
In his reply, the latter expressed will
lingness to do as requested, but he
wanted to know what help had been rem
dered in the pastors own community.
The negro minister responded: First,
the white people of the community have
offered S2l00 reward for capture and CON
viction of the outlaws who burned the
church; secondly, they have contributed
toward rebuilding my own church ST.,
900; more is coming, as my white friends
sympathize and feel kindly toward my
people,"
In explanation of his theory that the
church had been destroyed by outlaws"
the pastor said:
Il disciplined some young men for
drinking and carousing around the
church on Sunday preceding the burning
of the church. This fact leads me to be-
lieve that the illicit distilers of liquor
advised those who felt aggrieved to
take revenge by the dastardy burning Of
the church property. The illicit distillers
are white people, who sell to negroes and
whites; and there are far more stills in
Putnam county than ever before existed
if we believe the people who appear to
know"
This correspondence shows commend
able spirit of cooperation between the
decent whites and blacks of Putnam
county. This is indicated by the efforts
the white people have made to redress
the wrong the coored people suffered
and. to rebuild their church, even though
the incendiaries were lawless negroes
