SUNDAY SCHOOL
BAND hike ALL
SET FOR START
Young Musicians VIII Start Monday
to Chicago for Walk Through
Northern States.

Forty boys, members of the
United Sunday Schools band of
this city, who will leave on their
years annual big hike Monday,
will see many things of interest
besides getting enough fun to last
till next summer rolls around.
Each day of the II during which
the boys will hike from here to
Chicago and on to northern Wis
consin and return will be crammed
full of new things. Beginning with
DeKalb, where they will see the
largest set of Lincoln pictures in
the world, there will not be a mo-
ment idly spent.
In Chicago, which will be reach
ed on Wednesday morning, the
boys will no doubt see the most to
interest them. Very few of the
mixers have ever been in Chicago,
and so this is bound to be a big
treat. While in the Windy City
some of the big places will be Wis
tied, including the stockyards,
where every process from the
bringing in of the cattle to the fin
ished product will be seen. The
boys will get their fill of swimming
while here, as the Municipal pier,
Grant and Lincoln park beaches
will no doubt be. visited.
See Indian Country.
After remaining in the big
blow" for two days, the naval
training station at Great Lakes
will be the next place visited. An
afternoon will be spent here with
the sailors, and then the boys will
strike out to forget civilization for
a few days. Indian country with
all its adventures, including wild
animals and old trails, will be Wis
tied. Indian guides will take the
boys over much of the ground that
famous chieftains once trod and
the battle-ground where Black
Hawk fought will be part of it.
For a week the boys will be in

ments of any material consequence
are quite unlikely this coming sea-
son. With the seed of infection still
in our midst it is at least reason
able to expect something more
than usual fall and winter influen-
zal infections and a death rate
considerably above the normal.
Health authorities are preparing
to meet any situation that may de-
velop. The state department of
health of Illinois is mobili9ing
medical forces and the American
Red Cross, cooperating with the
health authorities are perfecting
nursing and hospital services in
order that medical and nursing re-
lief may be promptly afforded.
Just now the really important
thing to do is to strictly enforce
the reporting and quarantine re-
quirements. E b:y case or suspect
ed case of Sumner flu" bad
cold" suspicious bronchitis, pneu-
mona or undoubted influenza
should be Immediately reported to
the local health authority and by
him to the state department of
health Every case or suspected
case should be effectively isolated,
only the necessary attendant being
permitted in the sick room Visit
ing on Infected premises is strictly
prohibited. In other words closely
confine the infected person and
prevent the well from coming in
contact with the patient or attend
ant. Where isolation is not prop
erly carried out general quaran-
tine must be applied to the prem
ises and all residing thereon. Eff
ticient quarantine is indispensable
to control of the disease.
Inspection Important.
Leading authorities agree that
influenza is spread by contact with
infection bearers and that the
chances of infection increase pro-
portionally with the larger num-
Der of persons one comes in con-
tact with. The approaching open
ing of schools and the bringing of
large numbers OF children in close
contact is therefore a matter which
should receive the serious attention
of school and health authorities at
this time. Not only should warn
1ngS be issued against permitting
any sick or ailing child or one re-
siding on infected premises to at
tend school but the responsible
local authorities should organize
an efficient school medical inspec-
ton service and have it in opera
ton from the first moment that
the children are assembled for the
opening of classes in order that
possible infection bearers may be
detected and promptly excluded
from the schools. Such a service
carried out not only
gives greater assurance of the nom
of school sessions,
but more than all else would re-
suit in the saving of many hun
dreds of young lives every year in
this state.
Local authorities who neglect
these important and effective pre-
cautions certainly are not perform
ing their fully duty to their con-

Wisconsin, now in the woods. and
then visiting cities such as Madi-
son, Milwaukee and Kenosha. The
return journey will take them to
Rockford, where they will see
Camp Grant.
The boys will no doubt see great
things, but the one thing that ap-
peals to them most is the camping
and the ieal outdoor life it will
give them. AS in past years. the
boys will do everything them
selves. Six cooks will take care
of the appetites of the mixers and
a cobbler will see that they have
shoes on their feet. Besides these
there will be an artifcer and boys
to see that the fire is built and see
that the camp grounds are left in
as good condition as when the boys
arrived.
Cooking Outfit Carried.
The large Pierce-Arrow truck
and trailer, which carries the bulk
of the load, also carries the cook
ing outfit. In this outfit is to be
found a regular kitchen outfit,
whuch much resembles mothers
pantry except that it is a bit crude.
Books and monograph are carried
along so that there is not to be a
dull minute in the entire hike. A
touring car will carry some of the
boys and will take a large. part of
the baggage.
A corps of mechanics win take
care of the autos and keep them
in tip-top trim for the daily trips,
and 10 of the boys will take care
of supplying home papers on the
hike.
The boys will leave town early
Monday morning and will not re-
turn to this city until Saturday,

CANNING LEFT-OVERS
AS MIXED VEGETABLES

Mixed vegetables are attractive and
economical in salads, omelets, escal-
loped dishes and to use as garn1shes
for meat dishes If the small quanti-
ties left from packing different vege-
tables whole are placed in one can,
many desirable combinations can be
made. A good combination during the
spring season is young carrots, peas,
string beans and young onions. A
mixture which the fall garden might
furnish is peppers, celery, onions and
small lima beans. Do not use beets
in such combinations, because they
will discolor the mixture.
All the vegetables are prepared sep
arately, as for canning, and packed i'll
layers in a well-boiled jar, according
to United States Department OF Agrl-
culture specialists. Each layer should
be packed as tightly as possible before
the next is added. Fill the jars with
brine. Put on a boiled top and a rub
ber. Process in waterbath Gamer Ell
ther 12O minutes one day, or one hour
on three successive days, or thirty-five
minutes in steam-pressure cooker un-
der fifteen pounds pressure.
Corn and Tomatoes Good.
Corn and tomatoes make good
combination to can. Blanch fresh corn
on the cob five minutes, dip for an i'll
stant in cold water and cut from the
cob Scald tomatoes from thirty to
sixty seconds and dip in cold water.
Remove the skin and core. Chop to-
matoes into medium-sized pieces. Mix
thoroughly two parts OF tomatoes with
one part of corn. Pack the mixture in
hot glass jars, add level teaspoonful
of sugar and one-half teaspoonful of
salt to a quart. Fill the jars with hot
water. Put on a boiled top and rub
ber and process 120 minutes in water
bath Gamer one day, or one hour on
each of three successive days, or thir-
ty-five minutes IL a steam+pressure
cooker under fifteen pounds pressure.
A corn, tomato and string bean COM
bination is made by using one part OF
corn, one part of green string beans
and three parts of tomatoes. The corn
is blanched, dipped in cold water and
cut from the cob. The string beans
are cut into convenient lengths and
blanched for four minutes. The to-
matoes are blanched from thirty to
sixty seconds and cold-dipped. Re-
move the skin and core of the toma-
toes and cut into medium-sized pieces
Mix the three vegetables thoroughly
and pack the mixture in hot glass jars.
Add level teaspoonful of sugar and
one-half teaspoonful of salt. and fill
jar with hot water. Put on boiled top
and rubber and process in water-bath

POLAND'S FUTURE

The outlook for the Republic of
Poland today is the brightest in the
tumultous history of that country.
What is now Poland was formerly
three depressed dependencies, Rus
sian, German, Austrian, the remnants
after the partition of old Poland.
These three sections were arbitrarily
separated from one another by arti-
ficial customs barriers, different cur
rency, diverse laws, by every conceiv-
able means of decentralization. Today
Allied commissions are studying con-
ditions in the reunited republic with
an eye to rendering the country self
sufficient now that the artificial bar
riers have been torn down.
The country is rich in agricultural
lands, in mineral deposits, in unde-
veloped water power. 1t has large
cities we'll linked together by rail and
highways. Its greatest asset is its
access to the port of the free city of
Danzig. Under the old regime Rus
sia, Germany or Austria took toll OF
all exports and imports from the three
provinces, which prevented the Poles
from attaining the commercial and
Industrial position to which their abil-
tiles entitled them.
The commissions are optimistic as
to the future of Poland. AT present
more than half of the country's in
dustries are at standstill, but once
equipped with the financial system
contemplated by the Allied commits
sions, Poland should speedily take
rank as one of the important indus,
trial and commercial countries of Eu.
rope.

Doctor Hills Position
from the St. Louis Republic:

From the st. Louis RepuDnc:
Commenting upon the reasons which;
led H. F. Schultz to resign as foot
ball coach at the University of Mis-
souri, when a similar position was Of
fered to him at the University of Ne
braska, President Hill says:
"As Mr. Schultz accepts the same
position at Nebraska that he has held
here, it is simply question of wheth-
er an institution will pay higher
salary for athletic coaching than for
instruction in standard academic and
professional subjects. This the Uni
versity of Missouri will not do"
We have no doubt that the people
of Missouri will back the president in
that policy. University professors and
teachers of lower rank are not paid
as much as they are entitled to in
the light of the ability that is de-
manded of them and their long course
of apprenticeship. Members of uni
versity faculties having families and
a legitimate desire to prepare for old
age have problem that is pretty
nearly insoluble. Their income from
salary is generally not adequate, and
if they apply their talents to outside
work their work in the university
is likely to suffer.
Recognition of these facts has led
to an effort to increase the incomes Of
university teachers. In making this
effort it is argued that subfaculty
teachers, and even professors in some
cases, earn less than men in many of
the skilled trades. The argument is
a forceful one. but it loses force VIII Il,
the universities themselves pay more
for professor of beef and Drawn
than for a professor of law, philosophy
or mathematics.
1t is we'll that the University of Mis-
souri, refuses to set any such example.

Gamer either 12O minutes one day, or
one hour on three successive days, or
thirty-five minutes in steam-pressure
cooker under fifteen pounds pressure.
Concentrated Soup Recommended.
An excellent concentrated vegetable
soup can be made from any desired
mixture of vegetables. A tasteful COM
bination to can consists of one quart
of concentrated tomato pulp, tomatoes
boiled down until thick, one pint of
corn, or tiny lima beans, one pint of
okra, and four teaspoonfuls of sugar
and salt mixture made by mixing
sugar and salt in the proportion of
one-third salt to two-thirds sugar.
To make the tomato pulp, cook to-
gether three quarts of sliced tomatoes,
one small chopped onion and one-half
cup of chopped sweet red pepper. Put
through sieve and remove seeds and
skin. Return strained pulp to the ket-
tie and cook down to about the con-
sistency of catsup. Measure, add the
corn or beans and okra, which has
been prepared as for canning, with
seasoning. Cook altogether for ten
minutes and pack hot into jars which
have been previously boiled fifteen
minutes. Put on boiled top and
cleansed rubber, partially seal and
place on the false bottom in the water
bath Gamer with water to cover
If the single-period continuous
method of processing is followed, boil
at least two hours. If the intermittent
boiling process is used, boil for one
hour on each of three successive days.
Before each subsequent boiling, the
covers must be loosened and after
each boiling the covers must be Sc
curely frightened again to make seal
ing complete.
+ Processing under steam pressure is
recommended. Quart jars should be
processed thirty-five minutes under
fifteen pounds pressure. On removal,
tighten the tops, invert to test for
leaks, and when cool put in a dry,
dark, cool place.

CHURCH CONVENTION OPENS
Little Bonne Femme Meeting Begins
This Morning.

The annual meeting of the Little
Bonne Femme Association was called
to order at 10 o'clock this morning

NAPOLEON MIGHT ENVY HIM

At the end of his great campaigns,
in which he attempted but failed to
conquer the world, Napoleon sat on
the Island of st. Helena and dreamed
dreams of remorse. British war YES
sells patrolled surrounding waters to
prevent his escape because the world
felt that Napoleon's company was a
dangerous and disturbing element in
society.
John ]. Pershing, at the end OF his
great campaign. in which he led an
American army to glorious victory
for morality and justice, is on his
way home to be received by an ap-
plauding nation. The memories of his
military action in France will never
be cloyed by tinge of remorse.
This illustrates the old-new differ
ence between egoistic selfishness and
disinterested altruism. The former
seeks glory and effects downfall and
remorse; the latter seeks paths OF
duty and service and effects eternal
gratitude. The proud shall be hum
bled and the humble raised up.
John ]. Pershing has trod the way
of wisdom, and on the Island Of st.
Helena the spirit of Napoleon crouch
es in envy.
