CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR

Many people will find that when
the canning season arrives sugar vii
be higher priced and will necessaril.
hesitate about canning fruits anc
berries.
1t has been proven by practical ex-
perience that sugar is not needed fol
the actual preserving of fruits and
only adds flavor when used There
is no trouble in packing fruits for
home canning without the use Of
sugar, provided the product is per-
fectly sterilized. Follow the sam
rules as for Gaming with sugar and
fill the cans with boiling water in
stead of hot syrup.
In order to preserve fruits it is es-
sental not only to sterilze them. bur
to seal them in sterilized cans so a;
to exclude the air A perfectly steril-
lied and securely sealed jar of fruit
will keep indefinitely.
Add sugar lated when the fruit is
served and the desired flavor can be
readily obtained. Fruit juices may
also be canned without sugar and
made into jelies when the cost OF
sugar is lower, which will no doubt
occur with the marketing of the new
beet crop in September and new cane
sugar in December. Thus fruits car
ned now can undoubtedly be sweeten-
ed later and more generously with
cheaper sugar.

SERVICE CLUB MEETING.

The special meeting of the Service
club held last Friday evening was
quite well attended as should be the
case with all public meetings, called
for the public good. Every man in
the city should be a member of the
club and attend every meeting, which
it is possible to attend. Nothing
should keep one away, excepting
sickness or absence from the city.
A. II. Sylvester of the Forest SER
vice was up from Wenatchee and adj
dressed the gathering on protection
of the forests from fires, giving a
very good description of the danger
from camp fires and other causes.
and telling how to avoid and control
fires. He also touched upon the duty
of every person to report fires and
attempt to put them out before they
spread, and gave as whole very in
teresting talk on his subject.
The matter of observing Memorial
or Decoration day was taken up and
committees appointed to have charge
of matters.
As to whether Leavenworth would
celebrate the Fourth was also a sub
iect for discussion, and in this con
nection we want to call attention to
the fact that those who might be
most benefited by celebration-in
a financial way, were not present.
We refer to the keepers of refresh
ment places. The celebration of our
natal day is not a matter of such
concern to many of us, excepting as a
patriotic observance, but the re-
freshment stand keepers ought to be
interested in it as a financial feature
If they are not, and do not feel that
interest necessary to the providinp
of funds, it is not likely that others
will go to much trouble to prepare
for fitting celebration.
Again we desire to say that every
man in town should be interested in
the Service club, and should drop
everything else when he knows that
there is to be meeting. This is our
one organization through which ,vo
can all work for the benefit of the
whole people. If you have not suf-
ficient interest in the city and COM
munity to attend the meetings anl
take part in the deliberations, do not
be piker and kick on what others
attempt to do for the city.

at about eleven o'clock. He found
Fitz at work and asked where he had

that he had left it in the usual place,
so Wheeler set out at once and found

enabled Mr.. Wheeler to figure out
where to look for it. He therefore
set out and followed the thief, who
had gone up the Chumstick to tho

Wheeler found that he turned around

ECoNOM1zING ON COAL.

1t should not and probably does not, need the
suggestion of the National Coal association to
cause consumers Of coal to exercise economy IN
the use of that commodity. Sensible men learn
by experience, and the sad experienc OF recent
years has made most users of both hard and
soft coal extremely careful in conserving their
supplies. There is every reason now why both
should be economical.
AS an added incentive to economy, however,
the coal operators declare that in order to keep
the markets supplied, steady work at the mines
and sufficient supply of railroad cars would be
required. The cars are coming, eighty thou
sand, which were in other uses, having just been
released for the transportation of coal. Other
cars will no doubt be Forthcoming, as activity
in other lines of business decreases
It is the labor element, however, that causes
most anxiety as to the supply. The miners ask
for shorter hours and fewer working days, at
higher wages, and they refuse to abide by the
decisions of arbitrators, or only part of their
number so abide or they keep asking revisons
of the awards of labor boards and arbitrators,
and by reason of these uncertainties and the
agitation growing out of them bring the produc-
ton of the mines down to low point. This is
not the place for the discussion of the fairness
of their demands but it is place to say that
labor at the mines must by some means be made
more steady and more productive if we are to
have an adequate coal supply.
Meanwhile. everyone must be economical III
the use of coal.

ANXIOUS DAYS IN ENGLAND.

Nearly million coal miners in England have
laid down their tools in a strike, not as would
appear for higher wages but for theory, for
the soeialistie contention that the workers
should own the mines. As far as their idea has
developed it seems to contemplate the PROPOSE
ton that the government should take the money
of all the people. buy the mines and pass them
over to the miners. This is not very different
from the idea Of the Italian socialists who have
assumed control Of certain metal Industries and
are attempting to operate them, but with very
poor success from all accounts. England's ex-
ports of coal have ceased. Great industries are
preparing to shut down as soon as their stocks
of coal on hand are used up, and fuel for do
nestle use is to be rationed. There is some talk
of sympathetic strike of railway workers, in
which event the popular distress would be in
creased But the vast majority of the English
people are said to support the government and
to believe that the issue may as well be fought
out now as later and decided once for all. Brit
ish doggedness, tenacity of which the world
has heard SO much may now be tested for the
English miners are native born-not aliens, as
very largely in America.

PRoFiTEERIhG IN COAL.

! Muscatine Journal: Should Dan w.
| Simms, OF Lafayette, Ind, special as
sistant in the United States depart
ment of justice who has been in
charge of the prosecution of the 125
coal operators and miners indicted
| for alleged violation of the Lever act,
be impelled to make known the exact
nature of his differences with Attor-
! ney General Palmer, it would doubt
f.! less make interesting readig at this
particular time.
Indianapolis news reports state thu
Mr.. Simms disagreed with the de-
partment because Palmer directed
him not to use in the coming trial
certain evidence which he proposed
to introduce. This evidence was of
such nature as in the opinion of
the special prosecutor to make con-
victions certain.
The New York Herald is authority
for the information that the whole
sale bituminous coal trade stands on
the brink of revelations which threat
en- to shake it, as the disclosures
made by Charles e, Hughes more
than decade ago shook the insur
ance world. More than two columns
of recent issue is devoted to a mar
rative of the practices which have
been, it is claimed, widely INDUCED
in, and resulted in boosting coal
prices just as speculation sent sugar
to undreamed-of heights.
The department Of Justice is re-
ported to have evidence OF con-
spiracy which has its ramifications
all the way from the soft coal mines
to Atlantic ports.
"At every point, that long tran is
marked by graft and bribery" the
Herald reports. Profits are alleged
to have been illegally reaped through
the perversion of priority orders for
the shipment of soft coal to the sum
of tens Of millions Of dollars.
Guilt has been general, is the &C
cusation of the New York publiea-
ton.
The opening gun Of the depart.
ment's crusade against this system
Of graft and bribery took the form
of indictments against executives of
the Brooklyn Edison company, the
Lynch Coal company and the Adel-
phia Coal company. These suits are
declared to be but surface bubbles
indicating the general upheaval to
come.
The public has long suspected that
certain trade practices and excuses
were responsible for the price of
fuel
Failure Of the government through
it's department of justice to curb the
Illegal operations of the coal prof
tteers is but another contribution to
a state Of mind which arrests a re-

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
DUST.


When | was child made mud PIES
The loyeliest pies in the world
They seemed to rise like butterflies,
Each with its edge upcurled.
So full to the top with childish dreams,
stuffed the tooths0ane crust
And some were filled with chocolate creams
And some with hope and trust
And yet l .toiled and tolled
To find them spoiled
When they dried and turned to dust.
And so it is with my dreams today.
The Ioveliest dreams in the world!
From yireIay to far Cathay,
The silver sails unfufled
They skim the waters of Romance
Through storms of hate and lust
To dock at last in the Port of Chance
Half wrecked and red with rust,
With the fairy geld
That lay in the hold
Crumbled and turned to dust
So / sometimes think that the Sons OF Men
Are only the creams of God.
Within his ken the babe again
Is nodded out of the clod
Among his fellows lit with fire,
The living dream is thrust
Yet be he thrilled with high DESIRE
Or be he meek or just,
The light of grace
Forsakes his face
When the dying dream turns dust.
