now indicated by the mass Of popular

the district court of Blue Earth county, Mime
sofa:
We the grand jury for the general Febru-
airy term Of 1920, beg to report as follows:
First That we have investigated rumors and
reports of gambling in the city of Mankato dur
ing the last several months; that during the sum
mer and early fall of 1919 gambling was carried
on in several places in the city of Mankato; that
such gambling was carried on apparently without
any great effort of conceaiment; that such condi-
ton was known to exist to the police officers of
the city of Mankato during most of the time that
such gambling was going on, and was frequently
talked of and mentioned among the police Off
GERS; that such gambling was seen by patrolmen
at different times during said summer and fall,
and in some cases were reported by such patrol
men to John D. Martin, chief Of police of Man
kate, but such gambling was not stopped nor the
persons guilty thereof affested
Second. That we further find that gambl-
ing in various and mlder forms by the use of slot
machines, punch boards, etc., was carried on in
several of the pool halls Of this city, and that
minors and students were permitted to loiter
about such pool halls and to play pool therein.
1AlTu 1uaI we luTuNSr illlu Indt There mas
been 10 cooperation between the police officers
of the city of Mankato and the sheriffs office of
Blue Earth county in the detection of crimes and
the apprehension of Criminals; that in fact there
has been such feeling and lack of confidence be-
tween the two departments that cooperation was
impossible. as.
Fourth That there has been feeling on
the part of several of the patrolmen that they had
! no authority to properly perform their duty as
patrolmen and to make arrests that if report of
any violation Of law, especially in reference to
gambling, was made by them to the chief of po-
lice, the latter appeared indifferent to the COM
PLANT or would tell them that he would look into
the matter, and nothing further was done in such
cases.
I'm view of the conditions that exist in the
police department as hereinbefore set FORTH we
feel that such department should be thoroughly
re-organized and that chief should be put at the
head Of the department who would secure eff
Gent service on the part of the patrolmen and
who would actively and efficiently cooperate with
them in the stamping out of gambling and other
law violations. Respectfully submitted, Nels

BECOME A FRESH-AIR CRANK
When Your Rooms Get Stale, Stuffy
and Foul Smelling open All
Doors and Windows.

When you come in from outdoors
and find the air in your rooms stale
and stuffy and foul smelling, open the
windows wide and let In plenty Of
fresh air from outside. Open the
door, too, so that the fresh air can
freely enter.
Become fresh-air crank-even at
the risk of being disllked. Better q
live fresh-air crank than an almost
lifeless hothouse invalid.
Do all you can to avoid crowds in
closed or poorly ventilated rooms. Not
only does the bad air lower your re-
sistance, but you are in danger OF
catching disease from others.
Don't ride in a crowded street car
when you are going only short dis
tance. Walk
Walk mile in the open air twice
day. 1t will add ten years to your
life; If you don't believe 1t, try 1t and
see.
Keep the windows of your bedroom
wide open, day and night, even In
winter. You can't overdose yourself
with fresh air, and disease germs
can't endure it.

COOL FOOD WITHOUT
ICE NOT DIFFICULT
Window Box Is Especially Useful
in Winter Months.
Cellar Is Utilized by Many People as
Air There Is of About Proper Tenn
perature-Perforated Shelves
Are Handy.

In Ice chests food Is chilled by arti-
hclaily cold air; naturally cold air can
also be used In many ways for the
preservation of food. A simple way of
keeping food cold, especially in winter,
is by means of a window box. The
most convenient kind fits on the win
dow ledge close up to the window,
preferably on the north side of the
house. 1t should be dust and fly proof
and some arrangement for ventilation
should be made.
The air iB the cellar is cool and is
utilized by many people for cooling
food. A shaft made of wood or wood
and plaster and extending from the
cellar through the roof is a device for
utilizing the cool air of the cellar,
which Is particularly adapted to
cool, dry climate. Wire or perforat-
ed shelves are fitted into the shaft
at convenient heights where Ii passes
through the kitchen or pantry. In
front of the shelves should be placed
door opening from the shaft. AS the
air in the upper part of the shaft
crows warmer, the cool air from the
cellar is drawn up, this constant up
ward movement of cool air cooling the
food on the shelves. Where there Is
no suitable cellar the shaft may open
through the wall of the house Just
above the ground. Both ends of the
shaft should be screened.-United

service. This preserves not only the
meat, but the home-cooked flavor as
well.
Every Bit Of Beef Useful.
Select the meat intended for roast
ing, slice that wanted for steak, and
that which Is not suitable for either
roast or steak can be utilized for gou-
lash or stew, or can be chopped into
sausage meat, formed into little cakes,
fried and canned In that form. The
meat left clingIng to the bones may
be utilized when the bones are boiled
for soup stock. 1t is well to cut the
bones at several places for this pur-
pose.
For the roast beef, select the piece
of meat wanted, trim and wipe 1t with
a damp cloth, heat some grease In
roasting pan, put In the meat and scar
quickly, turning 1t so the sides are
scared. As soon as well scared, sprin-
kle with salt and pepper TO taste, add
some water to the grease in the roast
ing pan, baste frequently and roast un-
til nicely brown. Cook until the meat
is done 1t should not be red in CEN
ter, but 1t need not be entirely tender.
Slice the meat and pack in the cans to
within one-half inch of the top, add
the gravy from the roasting pan with
boiling water until 1t partially covers
the meat. Leave at least one-fourth
inch space between the liquid and the
top of can. Partially seal glass jars,
seal tin cans and process in steam
pressure cooker one hour at 10 pounds
pressure.
To can beefsteak, scar quickly the
sliced steak on both sides. When 1t Is
nicely Drowned pack it in the cans, NIL
the jars to within one-half inch of the
top with hot gravy made from the pan
grease, with hot water added. Process
in the steam-pressure cooker one hour
at IS pounds pressure. Seal the glass
Jars Immediately on removal from the
cooker.
Same Method for Pork.
Pork is canned in the same way as
beef. Suitable-sized pieces are baked
or fried, packed in jars with meat
stock or boiling water to within one
quarter inch of the top, and the jar ls
processed one hour at Is pounds pres
sure in pressure cooker. SpareriDs
sawed and cut into suitable pieces,
fried or baked until slightly done, are
excellent If canned, as is sausage
shaped into cakes, fried, packed, and
covered with liquid made of part fat
and part water.
The time tables given in the fore
going directions are for one quart jars.
The time required for processing pint
Jars is ten minutes less, and for two
quart jars 10 minutes more than the
time given for quart jars.
The Colorado statesman., 1920-11-06

Before country housewives learned
how to can meat, their families ate
''fresh" at butcherlng time until they
were surfeited. The rest was then
saited, cured, or smoked, and except a
few chickens and little fresh meat
bought In the summer II was what the
family ate until the next butchering
season. Home meat canning, as advo-
Gated by the United States department
of agriculture, has changed this condi-
tioH. Those housekeepers who put In
to cans the surplus fresh meat at
butchering time are enabled to distrib-
ute 1t over IL months. Canning is
equally valuable for use with surplus
chickens. 1t is better economy to can
the cockerels and surplus pullets when
they reach muturity than 1t is to feed
them all winter.
Meat Canning Popular.
Canning meat I'm some sections of the
country has become almost as common
a practice as canning fruits and vege-
tables. The housewife finds that
can of meat, which requires only re
heating to be ready to serve, is a great
convenience when company arrives I'M
expectedly or on hot summer days
when the heat of the stove for long
period becomes almost intolerable.
Canned meat also makes possible
more varied diet and lessons the coun-
try family's dependence upon cured,
salted and smoked meat, the constant
and exclusive use of which means
monotony and less wholesomeness.
Sound Meat and Cleanliness.
The essential thing in meat canning
is care-care that the meat is untaint-
ed, care in scrupulous cleanliness, and
utmost care in following directions.
For canning of meats a steam-pres-
sure Gamer is recommended. 1t should
be able to develop at least $50 degrees
of heat, or 10 pounds of steam pres
sure. If tin cans are used they should
be packed to within One-half inch from
the top. be properly exhausted and
sealed. Glass Jars may be filled to
within one-half inch, the edge wiped
clean, rubber ring placed In position,
top put on and springs adjusted but
not tightened; screw tops turned only
q little more than halfway alright.
Put the jars on the rack above water
I'm the bottom of the canner. Leave
the pet cock open until live steam is
escaping, then close 1t and count time
from the moment the required pres
sure is reached, which for meats
should be Is pounds, corresponding to
$50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meats are ready for preparation for
the Gamer as soon as the animal heat
has disappeared. For home canning
the meats should be cooked first
fried. boiled, roasted, baked or stewed
Just as would be done for immediate
