The Debt
Ay RANDALL PARRISH.

A young fellow came back to our
Town the other day, struggling along
on crutches; he had left one leg in
France. A friend met him, and said
sympathetically: >"l'm mighty sorry,
Fred, you lost your Leg The lad
looked at him and smiled. 81 didn't
lose my leg, Charlie" he replied quiet
". II gave it." f
That is just what they have been
doing, those splendid l.ds Of ours.
They have been giving their legs, their
arms, their eyes, their very lives, that
we might have our homes, our shops,
our farms; that we might live In
peace, In prosperity, in freedom of
Thought and action. \
Don't we owe them anything?
Haven't we debt unpaid to the dead
in France, to. the MANNED and crippled,
who are coming home from the battle
front?
Thatiis the appeal Of the forthcom-
ing Victory Liberty loan. 1t is debt
we owe-to the aviator,S who went
crashing down in flames: to the dough
boy, who went cheering over the Top
through rain of shrapnel; to the gun
ner, who fell with the lanyard in bis
hand.
We can never pay it--no! Money
does not work that miracle. Just down
the street from here a flag hangs In
the window of n little cottage contain
ing two golden stars. What is. my
money, or yours, balanced against the
priceless gift of the heart-broken IA
Their and mother there? 1fevery man
In this town should throw his dollars
into the scale, those lives would weigh
the most.
Cheer and welcome those who re-
turn; honor their manhood, and thus
pay to them, in small measure, the
debt you owe their service.
But do not forget those others, who
will not return-the voiceless dead
You owe greater debt TO them. They
died with faith in you.

seal.
A kettle, pail or boiler OF any kind
which will take few Jars deep enough
to cover or come ofthe neck of the jar
with water and d good tight cover for
the boiler IS all that is needed.
Sterillze the cans by placing them IN
cold water, tops as well, and bring to
the boiling point. Dip the rubbers In
to the hot water before adjusting them,
then with the filled Jars, If a Mason,
screw It tight, then loosen one quarter

The bIanching OF many fruits and
I'LL vegetables Is an important part Of
the preparation. BY blanching is meant
the dipping into hot water and letting
the fruit or vegetable stand q certain
time, then plunging Into cold water.
Branching shrinks, drives out the gases
In the tissues and brings the color to
the surface making more attractive
product. The age and tenderness Of
the product determines the length Of
time for blanching. II apples are to
be canned, peel, quarter and dip for
two minutes IF quickly cooked apples
are used), otherwise five minutes, then
plunge into cold water and drain and
pack into, the Jars. FIJI the jars with
hot water, seal as mentioned above
and cook twenty minutes in the hot
water bath. Seal tightly as soon as
removed from the boiler.
Peaches, pears and plums may all be

Sir John Foster Fraser, a British

Or. Frederick G Cottrcll, chief metal
lurgist Of the United States bureau Of
mines, has received the Perkiu medal
for distinguished services In applied
chemistry. He Is the @discovcrcr Of a
new process Of extracting "hellum"
from the air. Heliun Is a recently dis
covered gas, which is meeting the de-
mand Of the army air service for a
non-inflammahle filler for balloon and
dirigihle bags. 1t is said to be slightly
inferior for ascension purposes to the
hydrogen gas now used. but its nom
tntlammahlity makes 1t Invaluable TO
the service.
The process for obtaining helium
from a natural gas has been developed
by the bureau of mines, aud will have
its production test ON a large scale In
a new plant at petrolia, Tex.
Or, Cottrell pointed out in his speech
of acceptance that, should the new
process fulfill auticiputious, it wunld
place vast quantities OF oxygen at the
disposal of manufacturers and pro-
ducers Of copper, iron and steel lie
said II was hoped the new process for
the liQuefaCtlon and distillation Of air
will result in obtaining oxygen and
hydrogen for industrial purposes at a
cost which extend their use to many
trades and industries which now are
unable to afford them,
The Perkins medal was first pro-
scented to Sir William Henry Perkin,
the discoyerer Of the dye. a%uatiue, at
DelmoniCo's on the occasion of his visit
to America in 1908. Since then II has
been rccast each year and presented
to the chemist contributing the most
practical discovery or process.
