WARNS AGAINST
OMPOUNDS FOR
CANNING FRUIT
Bulletins With Information May
Be Obtained From Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Canning compounds sold under
various trade names for use in
home canning are often harmful 10
health and should never be used
by housewives, say the specialists
of the bureau OF chemistry. United
States department of agriculture.
These preparations, which are
usually in powdered form and con-
tain salicylic acid or oOric acid.
are unnecessary since fruit and
vegetables can be kept for long
periods in perfect condition with
out any chemical preservatives
whatever il proper methods OF
canning are followed.
The federal food and drugs act
prohibits the use of harmful pre-
servatives in foods which come
within its Jurisdiction. The food
laws of nearly every state in the
union forbid the sale within the
state of foods which have been pre-
served with harmful substances.
Although neither the federal nor
state laws apply to foods canned
in the home and consumed there,
it would seem that the housewife
would not knowingly use. in the
foods she preserves for her family.
substances that are prohibited by
law in foods for sale because the
substances are injurious to health.
Issues Bulletins.
The department of agriculture
has issued bulletins that give spe-
ciic directions for the canning and
preserving of fruits and vegetables
without the use Of preserving pow
ders or canning compounds. These
bulletins may be obtained without

Lexington, Ky-Is John Shell
the oldest man in the world? He
claims he will be 131 years old on
the third day of September
For this event, more than two
hundred of his immediate descend
ants will come from all parts of
the mountain country to Shells
little cabin at Greasy Greek to cele-
brate an event the like of which
has never been known in this coun-
try, so far as known.
This man can remember when
George Washington was alive;
when Napoleon held Europe in his
grasp; is of the same generation
as Lincoln, Darwin, Longfellow,
Whittier, Edgar Allen. Poe and
countless other notables of Amer
lea for the past century and a
quarter. He can remember when
wild Indians still roamed in the
Kentucky hills, and can recall
when Daniel Boone was helping to
clear up the Ozark and Bloody
Ground"
The National Geographic society
has been asked to investigate and
report on Shells claims of being
the oldest person alive in the
world.
Although Uncle, John" believes
his age is 116 in September, other
old men in the vicinity insist that
Uncle John certainly bust be
about 100 years old. They base
their reasons upon the good au
thority of tax duplicate signed by
John Shell in 1909, when he would
have had to be 81 years old in or
der to have to pay taxes.
The above picture is Uncle
Johns first venture with the cam
era mantle first picture he ever
has had made-and it was a real
treat, as he expressed it. His pos
ing was unlike any amateurs. He
posed as if he were an adept at the
business.

With eyesight the very best, he
is able to read the finest Bible

considerable of his time reading
reading the Book of Books. He is
a believer in the Baptist persaus-
ion-the old-style Baptist-and is a
frequent church-goer.
His descendants, numbering far
into the hundreds, are frequent Wis

they are preparing for a great
Homecoming on the date of his
birthday, next Sept. 8. 1t will be

SAILORS OFFER
THEIR ANGLE OF
DISPUTE STORY.
Crew Of N-54 Contend Auto Driver
Was Given No Cause to Get An
CRY When Gun Doomed.

The crew of the MA, navy re-
cruiting ship on wheels, has an
other version of the story concern
ing the argument Wednesday even
ing with driver of an automobile,
occasioned over the shooting of a
gun attached to the land cruiser,
than that given out by the police,
who were called upon as med
iators.
Members of the crew assert the
dispute arose when the autoist be-
came angered because
small girl passenger in his
machine was frightened with the
report of the gun while the auto
was standing nearby. 1t is the
sailors contention that the owner
of the machine opened up with a
strong verbal attack designed to
belittle them in the eyes Of the on
lockers.
Resenting the implied insult TO
their uniform, which the sailors
claim it was, one of their number
descended to obtain a better IN
Outstanding. The latter deciding
that matters were approaching a
crisis made haste to depart from
the scene, but not quickly enough
to prevent the sailor from jumping
on the running board of the NOV
ing auto. The latter desiring to
continue the argument with the
machine standing still, switched of
the engine key. 1t was at this
point that they ran afoul of Chief
of Police Tom Cox. It was at the
demand of the sailor, it is further
claimed, that the auto owner was
summoned to the police station
where things were smoothed over
by the authorities.
Attract Crowd With Gun.
One thing more. The N-54 crew
denies it refrains from booming
the gun while people are passing
nearby On the contrary this is
just what they aim to do to attract
attention.

organizations and individuals on this coast for many years IS just beginning to be understood by the navy authorities at Washington, aul by them, Tn course of time, no doubt 1t will be transmitted to other influential quarters in the government and commercial circles of the country. That fact Is that Alaska lies on the direct line of travel from the United States 10 the Orient. In other words, the shortest route between Puget Sound and Yokohama. Hong kong, Shanghai and other Asiatic ports runs but few miles off the Alaska coast Sailing due west from Cape Flattery, vessel would touch at the Aleutian islands on her way to Asatic ports, and in this manner save sever- al hundred miles as between San Francisco and the same ports. This is what is known as the great circle route The significance of this to Alaska Is apparent.
 With the opening of AlaSka's immense coal and oil fields, instead of shipping these fuel products outside and necesstating their being again carried back past the point of production in the hunkers and tanks of ocean carriers en route to the Orient, it IS within the range of possibility that immense fuel depots will be established at points along the Alaska coast for the use of merchantmen, just as it IS now proposed to do for the use of the navy. The Oriental trade is bound to in crease enormously within the next few years Commerce has been disrupted by the war, and when 1t is resumed in normal volume new wants will be created and new fields opened Alaska will be in position to greatly benefit thereby
 Cordova, in common with Seward and Anchorage, as the coming great shipping point for fuel, both coal and oil will be great
 y benefited by the new order of things. It is not at all unlikely that in few years Cor dova will be a city of great importance, with a Wedefined place in the shipping trade be tween the United States and the Orient.
 Altogether the outlook for Alaska is more encouraging than 1t has been for years.
 The ephemeral prosperity of interior Alaska, resulting from the exploiting of its surface gold deposits, is on the wane, but the more substantial wealth of mineral, of coal of oiI is yet to be given to the world, and with this development an Alaska will arise which with in comparatively short time will be demand- ing place among the sisterhood of states of the Union, with prosperous and enlightened citizenship second to none

OUTLOOK BRIGHT FOR ALASKA
(COrdova Tines.)

The news from Washington during the last few days has been of more encouraging nature as far as Alaska is concerned, than has been the case for years. It proves that administration and congressional circles are waking up to the fact that Alaska has infinite possibilities for contributing to the future well fare and greatness of the nation, and that a sincere and practical effort is being made to make available her resources.
 Despatches for the second time have mentioned a somewhat mysterious report made by naval commission which visited Alaska short time ago. The report is SUD- posed to be Confidential as yet, but we are not inclined to be too inquisite as to how the correspondent obtained his information. It is sufficient to know that the commission seems to have rendered an intelligent account of what they saw, and have shown more than customary degree of intelligence in making recommendations for the utilization of the knowledge they obtained during their stay in the North. It has not always been the case that these government commissions have had the vision and practical sense that these naval men have shown.
 A fact the significance of which has been known to mariners and to commercial
