Pickle Vegetables
and Fruit in
September

September is the month for pick
ling. If we take the fruits and veg
etables as they come to market, we
will find that now is the time to
make corn relish, if we are to make
it at all. Corn is still plentiful and
not expensive and little corn goes
long way in this relish.
Cook six ears of corn until they
are tender (about 80 minutes Cut
from the cob and add a small head
of cabbage finely shredded, Mix o
tablespoons of salt, ~ tablespoons
mustard and 2 tablespoons -four and
mix we'll with the vegetables. Pour
over the whole one pint of vinegar
and boil gently for 80 minutes. Two
hot peppers may be added to the
vegetables if desired.
Another pickle to make at this
time is mustard pickle: One pint
small whole cucumbers, ! pint sliced
cucumbers, l pint small white
onions, cup string or wax beans,
8 green peppers, 2 red peppers, !
small head caulifower, | quart vim
egar, a tablespoons -four, cup SD
gar, 8 tablespoons powdered mus
tard, 2 tablespoons salt, | table
spoon celery seed.
Cut the small cucumbers in half
lengthwise. Slice the large ones.
String the beans and cut in small
pieces. Leave the small onions
whole. Chop the peppers and sep
arate the caulifower into small sec
tons. Put all the vegetables in a
brine over night and freshen them
in cold water in the morning. Cook
them in one pint of vinegar and one
pint Of water for IS minutes. Drain
and pour over them the mustard
paste made of the -four, sugar, mus
tard, salt, celery seed mixed until
smooth and cooked in a pint of vim
egar. Put into sterilized jars while

age for interstate shipment should have plainly marked upon each package the selling or market price at which they went into storage. By this means the purchaser would always be able to learn what profits stood between him and the producer or the wholesale dealer.
 The world must pay for the appalling destruction wrought by the great war, and we are part of the world. We must pay our share. For five years now the in- dustry of all Europe has been slack and disordered. The normal crops have not been produced the normal quantity of manufactured goods has not been turned out
 Not until there are the usual crops and the usual production of manufactured goods on the other side of the Atlantic can Europe return to the former condi- tons. and it was upon the former condi- tons, not the present, that our economic relations with Europe were built up.
 We must face the fact that unless we help Europe to get back to her normal life and production a chaos will ensue there which will inevitably be communi- eated to this country. For the present, it IS manifest we must quicken, not slacken, our own production.

Few Price Drops Not Enough.

In few foodstuffs the prices had de- chned, but in nothing like the proportion in which the supply had increased. For example, the stock of canned tomatoes had increased 102 per cent, and yet the price had declined only % cents per dozen cans. in some cases there had been the usual result of an increase of price following a decrease of supply, but in almost every instance the increase of price had been disproportionate to the decrease in stock

These are facts and forces with which we have become only too familiar; but we are not justified because of our famil- iarity with them or because of any hasty and shallow conclusion that they are natural" and inevitable. in sitting inac- lively by and letting them work their fa- tai results if there is anything that we can do to check, correct or reverse them.
 have sought. this opportunity to in- form the congress what the executive is doing by way of remedy and control. and to suggest where effective legal remedies are lacking and may be supplied
 We must, I think, frankly admit that there is no complete immediate remedy to be had from legislation and executive action The free processes of supply and demand will not operate of themselves, and no legislative or executive action can force them into full and natural operation until there is peace.
 ''There is now neither peace nor war All the world it waiting-with what un- nerving fears and haunting doubts who can adequately say?-waiting to know when it shall have peace and what kind of peace it will be when it comes-a peace in which nation shall make shift for Itself as it can, or peace buttressed and supported by the will and co.cert of the nations that have the purpose and the power to do and to enforce whatis right Politically, economically, socially the world is on the operating table, and it has not been possible to administer any anaes- thetie. It is conscious. It even watches the capital operation upon which it knows that its hopes of heslthful life depends. It cannot think it's business out or make plans or give intelligent and provident di- rection to it's affairs while in such esse. Where there is no peace of mind there can be no energy in endeavor.

Must All Work Together.

Threats and undue insistence upon the interest of single class make set clement impossible. I believe. as l have hitherto had occasion to say to the congress, that the industry and life .,f our people and of the world will suffer irreparable damage if employers and workmen are to go on in a perpet- ual contest, as antagonists. They must, on one plan or another, be effec lively associated. Have we not stead mess and self-possession and business sense enough to work out that result?
 In the meantime-now and in the days of readjustment and recuperation that are ahead of us-let us resort more and more to frank and intimate counsel and make ourselves a great and triumphal nation, making our- selves a united force in the life of the world. It will not then have looked to us for leadership in vain

Retailers in Part to Blame.

There can be little doubt that retail CTS are in part-sometimes in large part-responsible for exorbitant prices and it is quite practicable for the gov ernment through the agencies I have mentioned, to supply the public with full information as to the prices at which retailers buy and as to the costs of transportation they pay in order that it may be known just what mar gin of profit they are demanding. Opin- ion and concerted action on the part of purchasers can probably do the rest

Profiteers Lawbreakers.


 Some of the methods by which these prices are produced are already Illegal, some of them criminal, and those who employ them will be energetieally pro ceeded against. But others have not yet been brought under the law. and should be dealt with at once by legislation.
 l need not recite the particulars of this critical matter; the prices demanded and paid at the sources of supply, at the fac tory, in the food markets, at the shops, In the restaurants and hotels alike in the city and In the village.
 They are familiar to you. They are the talk of every domestic circle and of every group of casual acquaintances even. It is a matter of familiar knowledge also, that a process has set in which Is likely, unless something is done. to push prices and rents and the whole cost of living higher and yet higher, in a vicious cycle to which there is no logical or natural end.
 With the increase in the prices of the necessaries of life come demands for in creases in wages-demands which are Justified if there be no other means of enabling men to live
 Upon the increase of wages there fol- lows close an increase in the price of the products whose producers have been ac- corded the increase-not proportionate increase, for the manufacturer does not content himself with that, but an in crease considerably greater than the added wage cost and for which the added wage cost is oftentimes hardly more than an excuse.
 The laborers who do not get an increase in pay when they demand 1t are likely to strike, and the strike only makes mat ters worse.
 It checks productions; if it affects the railways 1t prevents distribution and strips the markets; so that there is pres ently nothing to buy and there is another excessive addition to prices resulting from the scarcity.

There can be no confidence in indus try, no calculable basis for credits, no confident buying of systematic selling. no certain prospect of employment. no normal restoration of business. no hopeful attempt at reconstruction or a proper reassembling of the dislocated clements of enterprise until peace has been established, and. so far as may be. guaranteed Our national life has no doubt been less radically disturbed and dismembered than the national life of other peoples whom the war more df- rectly affected. with all its terrible ravaging and destructive force. but it has been nevertheless profoundly af

President Addresses Congress on Subject of High Cost
 of Living.
LAWS ARE NOT ADEQUATE
Chief Executive Declares "Vicous Practices" Are Responsible for PeriIous Situation Which Faces
 the Naton-Makes lmpor-
 tant Recomm endations.

Washington - Addressing congress and proposing remedies to cheek the high cost of living, President Wilson declared that existing laws were made quate and that high prices were not justified by shortage of supplies pres ent or prospective, but were created in many cases "artificially and deliber- ately" by "vicious practices"
 The president recommended that the food control act be extended to peace time operation and that congress exclude from interstate as well as intrastate shipments goods which did not comply with it's provisions.
 His address was as follows:
 Gentlemen of the Congress:
 I have sought this opportunity to ad- dress you because it Is clearly my duty to call your attention to the present cost of living and to urge upon you with all the persuasive force of which am capable the legislative measures which would be most effective In controlling it and bring ing it down.
 The prices the people of this country are paying for everything that it is necessary for them to in order to live are not justified by shortage in supply, either present or prospective, and are in many cases artificially and deliberately created by vicious practices which ought imme- diately to be checked by law.
 They constitute burden upon us which Is the more unbearable because we know that it is wilfully imposed by those who have the power and that it can by vlgor- ous public action be greatly frightened and made to square with the actual conditions of supply and demand

Such a law would afford a welcome dp- portunity to effect other much needed Ie- forms ia the business of interstate ship ment and in the methods of corporations which are engaged in it; but for the mo- ment contine my recommendations to inc object immediately in hand which is' to lower the cost of living.
