HOW TO CAN PEACHES
SO THEY WILL KEEP

In canning peaches sort the fruit
and select firm, sound, uniform peach
es. The soft or broken ones may be
used for jam. Remove the peel with
a knife, with boiling water or with a
boiling lye solution. If boiling water
is used, immerse peaches about one
minute or until the skins slip easily.
Remove and plunge for an instant
into cold water. Slip off the skins,
cut in halves and pack at once into
jars which have previously been boiled
fifteen minutes.
Some peaches have skins which will
not slip off after treating with clear
boiling water. For them or for any
peaches. the lye method of peeling may
be used when they are firm, perfect
and not too ripe. Have ready boil
ing lye solution -four tablespoons of
commercial concentrated lye to four
quarts of water.) Drop the peaches
into this for about twenty to thirty
seconds. Lift out and drop into clear
boiling water for thirty seconds. Re-
move and place for an instant in cold
water. The skins will them come off
easily.
Cracked Pits in Jars.
Before preparing the fruit, make a
sirup of seven cups of sugar to four
quarts of waited or, if a richer sirup
is desired, use eleven cups of sugar
to four quarts of water. Allow one
cup of water for each quart jar. Put
one cracked peach pit for every quart
of sirup into it. Boil sirup for five
minutes.
The peach halves should be placed
in the jar in overlapping layers, the

MAY NAME MUMFORD
PRICE COMMISSIONER
Gardner to Put Fair Cost
Committee Plan Into
Force at Once.
WILL PASS BILL,
Scale of Prices Everywhere
to Be Investigated Says
Gardner.

Dean F. B. Mumford is expected to
be appointed fair price commits
sioner" of Missouri by Governor Fred
erick Gardner, in the campaign to
lower the cost of living. A Washing
ton dispatch Saturday says: Follow
ing an entire day of conferences here
with government officials, from Pres
ident Wilson down, over the high cost
of living, Governor Gardner of Mis-
souri, said he would start at once put
ting the governments plan of fair
price committees into effect through
out Missouri without waiting for the
Senate to act upon the new anti-prof-
iteering bill. Attorney General Palm
er informed the governor that as soon
as the bill was passed authorizing the
fair prices committees he would Of
ficially recognize those appointed by
Gardner as his agencies in Missouri so
that they will represent both the fed
eral government and the state in the
fight against unfair prices on neces-
stiles. The Missouri governor said he
would finish up his work here tomor-
row and leave at once for Missouri.
While no definite announcement
was made. it is understood that Gov
ernor Gardner will ask Dean Mumford
of the University of Missouri, who was
food administrator in the war, to act
as fair price commissioner of the
state. 1t is expected, if Dean Num-
ford accepts, that he will begin at
once naming the local fair price COM
mittee.
"'There will be a fair price conf
mittee in every county and every large
city of Missouri in operation in a
very few days." Governor Gardner
said. 1.-The work of getting the organ
ization ready will be pressed so that
the committees can begin at once their
inquiry into the scale of prices locally
on necessities of life and ascertain
whether they are fair or exhorbitant.
/ was assured today by senators that
the new anti-profiteering bill, with its
drastic penalties. would be shortly
passed. This will back up the work of
the committees with sufficient penal
ties to get action. But there is plenty
of work the committee can do even
under the present law
Zone of the most important phases
that developed today was the under
standing reached with Attorney-Gen-
eral Palmer over the naming and
operation of the local fair price COM
mittees. II was made plain that if
any local communities did not co.
operate with the state fair price COM
missioners and name committees oil
attempt to meet the local price situa-
tiou fairly that Attorney-General Pal
mer. himself, would step in and han
die the situation in that locality
through the Department OF Justice di
rect from Washington. In othe'
words, any local prejudice or condi
ton is not going to prevent the oper
alton of fair price committee in {

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The case
of Henry A. Bitter of Dubuque, Ia,

visers from the board he expressed his
desire to continue in the drug busi-
ness The case board has approved
course in the manufacture of pro-
prietory medicines, including courses
in salesmanship and business admin
istration. His brother is to act as his
tutor during the course.
With the new artificial hands which
are being made for him. after this
course of training. this severely dis
abled soldier will be able with the
help of a suitable assistant to live a
self-dependent life.

France: both were wounded. One re-
ceived a gunshot wound through the
ankle. resulting in partial ankylosis;

through the right arm, causing paral-
ysis of the hand. Before they enlisted

Off the coast of France an explo-
sion occurred, wrecking the ship. A
hot spark lodged in Martens left eye
causing blindness and affecting the
right eye The shock of the explo-
sion impaired his hearing and affected
his nervous system.
The following eight months were
spent in a hospital. Previous to en-
listment he was a blacksmith and eX-
pert toolmaker. According to his for
mer employer, "he drew the highest
wages ever paid blacksmith in this
mining camp" Now he could not de-
termine welding heat, tempering col
ors. nor perform other necessary
functions in that occupation. But he
was possessed of fine physique and
mechanical ability. Was he to be cast
upon the waste pile of social depend
ents?
The problem resolved itself into
this: an earnest, willing worker. an
unusual degree of mechanical ability,
handicapped with poor vision and
hearing, with keen interest in cleo
tricity. With the concurrence of the
eye specialist, Marten was recon-
mended for a course in the electrical

This fact is a source of deep dis
appointment to the Poale Zion who
fought vigorously at the Provi-
sional Conference for the enfran
chisement of women, and during the
campaign organized a special COM
mittee "Agudath Hanaschim" to
carry on campaign for their candi-
dates to capture the female vote. In
most Of the results already known
it is apparent that the women cast
their votes for the conservative
candidates, in many instances vot-
ing against candidates of their own
sex. This has been especially graft
flying to the Orthodox elements,
who Notwithstanding that they ac-
cepted the full suffrage plan, never
the1ess suffered many misgivings
over the possibility of feminized
assembly. +

Bronx had been purchased for the
new home of the institution. The
orphanage at present is located on
Washington Heights, facing Am

President Newburger said that
the purchase price was $35OOOO, Of
which $4,000 was paid in cash and
the balance covered by mortgage.

a number of women will have seats
in this historic body.
The Constituent Assembly was
called into being by the Zionist Adj
administrative Commission and it's
purposes were defined at confer
ence of Palestinian Jews which took
place at Tel Aviv from the 18th to
the 10Th Shevat dec. Is to 22).
The conference was participated in
by representatives of all parties in
Jewish Palestine, and limited the
scope of the Constituent Assembly
to internal questions, such as Cd
the strengthening of Hebrew Gull
ture and the recognition of Hebrew
as the official Jewish language of
Palestine; (2) determining the
status and the functions of the
Court of Arbitration (Mishat Hash
olom); and (3) the political or
ganization of Palestinian Jewry. 1t
was determined that the Constitu
ent Assembly should consist of
legislative and an executive body.
The campaign for the election Of
delegates to this historic body fol-
lowed closely all of the finer fea
lures of American political CAM
paigns. The various viewpoints,
found their expressions in party
slogans, and all elements, from the
EXTREMIST conservative to the most
radical. agitated vigorously, yet
without rancor, for the selection Of
candidates whose views were in
keeping with their own. One small
faction, composed of extreme ortho-
dox elements, declined to partici-
pate in the elections because of the
ful1-suhrage provision, on the
ground that it would not be in keep
ing with their religious views to sit
in council with women. But the
number who held this reactionary
attitude was very negligible, not
withstanding it was led by Reb
Laibe1e, the Dayan of Jerusalem,.
who is the spokesman of the old,
extremist settlement which is OPP
posed to every innovation, inc1ud-
ing Zionism. It is limited in Jeru-
salem that one of the compelling
motives of Reb Laibe1e and his ad-
herents was not so much a f1nda-
mental objection to sitting in coun-
Gil with the opposite sex, but the
fact that the Mizrachi in Palestine
tine agreed to full suffrage. The

Jewish aliens, including particularly
the immediate removal of the from
tier blockade against Jews at pres
ent existing in Germany.
e The reorganization of Jewish
life in Germany in democratic and
national Jewish spirit.
Immediately after the delegates
convention the agitation for the con-
gress idea began and was carried on
with the utmost energy. The con-
gress idea itself has aroused the in
terest of all sections of German
Jewry and is at present the most
important topic of Jewish public life
in Germany. At numerous meetings
in all the German towns the neces-
sity of such a congress has been ex-
planned and many thousands have
already joined the congress move
ment. In most German towns there
are now local committees which in
c1ude representatives of the most
diverse sections of Jewry. The
whole movement is under the direc
ton of the Jewish Congress Com
mittee in Berlin.
Even in the ranks of the nonZi-
onist organization the congress idea
has met with a lively response, not
withstanding a number Of them OBJ
ject to the stipulation whereby the
avowa1 of Jewish nationality is to
be made a condition for participa-
ton in the Congress. The readi-
ness to take part in a Jewish con-
gress which will demonstrate the
political solidarity of German Jew
ry is apparent in nearly all sec
tons of German Judaism.
Besides the general Jewish policy
the Congress will also deal with the
various problems of Jewish life in
Germany OF particular import are
the questions of the democratizing
of the communities, the intensified
ton of Jewish national life and Gre
alton of an authoritative Jewish
body, recognized by the State and
which is to represent the whole of
German Jewry. It is thought to
make the Congress permanent
institution which shall assemble
every year, or twice year, and
form an important means Of con-
tinua11y stimulating and strength
ening Jewish life in Germany.
