if Health Permits, White
House Indicates

Washington, July S.-De1lnite
assurances were given at the White
House yesterday that President VIII
son plans to take an active part IN
the campaign to elect Governor Cox

but otherwise will use all his lntlu-
ence as head of the party to win d
Democratic victory in November
An early conference between Will

ranged, it was learned.
The Ohio Governor is said by
Democrats here to be one of the
best campaigners in the country and
the prediction was made that ne
would make an unusually vigorous
campaign, probably with an extend
ed tour.

We spend every penny possible to i'm

is a very good railroad patronage. 1t

WATCH LABELS ON BOTTLES
Poisons Should Be Kept Under Lock
and key-Antidotes to
Be Used.

By United States Public Health Service.)
Accidental poisoning may be pre-
vented to very great extent by never
tasting or taking anything into the
mouth which is not plainly labeled.
1t is also very wise to put all poisons,
when they must be kept on hand, in
safe place and under lock and key.
Sudden and severe sickness shortly
after eating, drinking or taking medi-
cine in a person who has been in good
health, is often a symptom of poison
ing.
II a number of persons who have
eaten the same food become seriously
i'll after meal. it is. almost certain
that they are suffering from poison
ing. probably from that form of pois-
oning which is Cue to decayed, fer
mented or rotten food. and which is
termed "ptomaine poisoning" Such
accidents should always be reported
20 the department of health for care
full investigation.
Send for doctor at once. Direct
the messenger to tell the doctor that
the person has been poisoned and give
the name of the suspected poison II
possible, so that the doctor may bring
the proper antidote.
Do not wait for the doctor to arrive
but give an emetic to aid in Kidding
the body of the unabsorbed poison.
Warm water. mustard and water, salt
water, ipecac or other common emetic
may be employed, or the patients
throat may be tickled to produce
vomiting. Do not waste time in look
ing up the proper dose of an emetic
and repeat If profuse vomiting does
not result.

USE GREEN TOMATOES
TO MAKE MARMALADE
Recipe Given Out by Department
of Agriculture.
Caramel Flavor Given by Increasing
Heat at Very Last-Rind Of Lemon
and Orange Give Somewhat
Different Effect.

(By U. S. Public Health Serv ce).
10 those who are fond OF the pi-
quaint flavor of green tomatoes In
made dishes, the following recipe for
marmalade, given out by the depart
ment of agriculture, will be welcome
Green Tomato Marmalade.
pounds green Tomatoes
" cup of syrup.
one-half demon and l orange. or one
quarter cup sugar.
"a lemons 90 ounces).
Wash and trim tomatoes, cut into
slices medium thick. Cut lemon and
orange into very thin slices. (Be
careful to pick out all seeds). Add
sirup and sugar. A small amount Of
salt (one-eighth to one-fourth tea
spoonfuD is often considered advan-
tageous; here, as always, it renders
the sweet taste Of sugar less cloying.
Boiling orange peel for a few min
utes in salted water prevents its
hardening later, when cooked in sirup.
Heat slowly, stirring until well
mixed, then simmer gently until the
tomatoes are soft and the marmalade
has the consistency of thick, heavy
jam. This will require three to four
hours. There should be about one
pint of marmalade.
If caramel flavor is liked, the
heat may be slightly increased at the
very last so that the jam darkens at
the bottom next the kettle; but great
care must be taken not to overdo this
effect as the jam is easily scorched.
A somewhat different effect may be
obtained by chopping the rind Of
lemon and orange. At the end of the
long cooking process these bits OF
chopped rind seem much like chopped
nuts.
Orange flavor in preserves does not
last indefinitely, apart from the tang
of the rind. Consequently this mar
malade is best when only a few days
or weeks old.

EORTUNE and Fashion we know
Il are fickle, but they are too wise
to turn the cold shoulder on very
good thing, and so those new weaves
in silk and fiber silk that made their
first success in sports apparel have
departed from the main Travelled road

counted upon for handsome after
noon dresses, for formal suits and es-
pecially for new evening gowns and
coats. Their high luster and their
suppleness. together with the great

evening dress.

SUN BIG FACTOR
IN DRYING CORN
Dried Vegetable Is Delicious, Re-
quires No Cans and Is Easy
to Keep Stored.
QUICK WORK IS NECESSARY
Gather When Kernels Are In Milk
Stage, Before Glazing Has Begun
Dry Until Grains Are Hard
and Semi-Transparent.

A vegetable which, when dried, is
above criticism even by the most
critical, is corn. Other kinds of garden
products may or may not be liked by
many people, but dried corn is the
equal if not the superior of canned
corn and can be used for practically
as wide variety of purposes. The
following directions for drying it are
those advised by the United States
department of agriculture.
Any of the varieties of sweet corn
having qualities desirable for table
use will make good dried product.
Corn intended for drying should be
gathered when in the milk stage, be-
fore glazing and hardening have be-
gun and when the corn is in an ideal
condition for immediate table use. 1t
should beNgathered only as 1t can be
prepared for drying, as corn deterior-
ates rapidly.
Careful Preparation Essential.
Husk the ears and trim with knife
to remove any injuries. The silk need
not be removed, as it can be readily
separated from the corn after drying.
Place the ears in wire baskets or
wire-bottom boxes and plunge into
boiling water for 8 to u minutes, or
until the milk is set. A little salt may
be added to the water If desired.
Divide the corn into older and younger
lots before blanching as the younger
ears require somewhat longer cooking
than the older ones.

them from normal to very long-a
cause for rejoicing on the part of

feature of the styles appears in the
prominence of brown and other shades
that hold their own with navy blue.

presenting no innovations that women
will not approve at first sight. That is

signing in coats.

E>ALL displays disclose the fact that
l. fashion still regards the severely
plain tailored suit with nothing less
than cool tolerance, but smiles on more
complicated affairs that indulge in
embroideries and other embellish-
ments. These other embellishments
include fur, stitching and intricacies
OF cut. Not many buttons are used
and fiat braid is absent, its place TAX

Taking them as a whole the new fall
suits are tasteful and continue to be
sensible as well as charming. Their
coats are finger-tip length-with very
few exceptions, their collars high and
cozy, their lines easy.
Rivals of suits, the one-piece dresses,
are among those present in all the
fall displays. Speaking generally

Sun Factor In Drying Corn.
1t is practically impossible to bring
corn to sufficient degree of dryness
by the unaided heat of the sun. II
corn is dried in the sun II should be
finished by pouring into bread pans,
placing in the oven of the stove. and
warming TO 100 degrees to 165 degrees

should he continued until the grains are
hard, semi-transparent, and will break
with clean, glass-like fractures If
crushed.
Before storing free the corn of silks,
glumes. and bits of cob. This may be
done by pouring the corn from one
vessel to another In strong draft.
When the corn is dry, store In closely
woven muslin bags or heavy paper
bags. Tie tightly mt the neck and
place within large bag which also
should be tightly tied.
Do not allow the drying process to
stop from the time 1t Is started until
the corn is fairly dry. Corn is n
product which contains considerable
sugar and protein, and II the drying
process is allowed to stop bacteria are
