WHY CANNED FOODS WEEK?

National Canned Foods Week,
which is being observed the country
March 1st to 9th, under the auspi-
ces of Gamers, food brokers, jobbers
retailers and allied organizations,
NAV seem somewhat like painting
the lily" With most of US, every
week is canned foods week. But we
have come to take canned foods SO
much for granted it is undoubtedly
we'll for US to be reminded Of just
what the invention of canning really
means to us. The less spectacular,
the science of canning was discov-
erly only equalled in Importance BY
such inventions as the telephone, the
wireless and the aeroplane. When
we stop to realize that food, shelter
and clothing are mans most. vital
needs, and what large proportion OF
our food is preserved for US and
brought to US today in canned form,
we better understand the full signifi-
canoe of this important discovery.
Picking or drying were the only
methods of preserving foods that
were known up until about a century
ago. In 1895 the necessities Of war
prompted the French Government to
offer a reward of 10000 francs for a
better method of food preservation.
The prize was awarded to Nicholas
Appert and his method stands today
as the real basis of our present pro-
cess of canning--namely, hermetlc
sealing and sterilization by heat.
This discovery has added immeas.
urably to the wealth of the world.
because it has meant that at times
of harvest the surplus crops, which it
is impossible to get to market before
they spoil, have not had to go to
waste, but have been preserved for
use at other periods of the year when
Nature is producing less and when,
but for the science of canning, we
would have to subsist on much less
attractive fare. This is conservation
in the broadcast and most economic
sense of the word.
But the process of canning not
only benefits the world at large; it
has very definite advantages for each
of us as NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that much
talked of Mr.. Average-Man-in the
Street and his House-wife-in the
Kitchen. Canning" eliminates the
seasons. In effect, it "makes sum
mer last all the year round" and in
midwinter brings us the crops of mid
summer.
And canning also eliminates space
or sectionalism,-for those of US who
live in the interior may still enjoy
oysters, crabs, Holsters and other sea
foods whenever we wish; and those
of us who live in the Eastern states
may nevertheless have access to the
delicious fruit crops of California
and Hawaii. And so on the world
over The pioneer in Alaska, the
miner in the mountains of South
America the explorer in the Antar-
tic, men and women everywhere on
the frinees Of civilization all have at
hand.-thanks to the can-the same
wholesome appetizing foods that are
served to the most exacting guest in
an exclusive New York Hotel.
Because the science Of canning has
so done away with time and space
with respect to food-the can has
come to be known as modern genie
of the home. The housewife whose

The Attorney General declined to
answer Morse's statement but said
that United States Attorney Gordon
would be his mouthpiece in all mat
tiers pertaining to the case.
Mr. Gordon said today in discus
sing the statement issued by Morse
that the man had had as fair deal
before the grand jury as could be
given.
He came to me said Mr.. Gordon
and asked to be allowed to go before
the grand jury. | told him that ! did
not wish to establish precedent Of
trying cases before that body and de-
nied his request. | did say that ne
could talk to the panel for two weeks
if it were not for that objection.
Attorney Wilton J. Lambert rep
resenting More said last night that
he has no doubt as to the outcome of
the case.
"If Morse had been allowed to go
before the grand jury" said Mr..
Lambert. "he would be cleared now
of the charges filed against him I
am confident that when certain facts
are laid before the petit jury Morse
will walk from the courtroom a free
man as will all Of the others who
were indicted"
Fifty overta acts are cited in the
indictments returned and documen-

filed.
Immediately after the indictment
had been returned f. A. Morse Wis
tied the office of United States At
torney Peyton Gordon and was told
that he would be required to furnish
bond of $4,000 for his appearance
when the case comes to trial. Morse
intimated that he and the other men
indicted had been given a rather raw
deal" and felt that the Government
had gone too far by placing the
stigma of an Indictment on innocent
men.
Morse then remarked that he felt

the Grand Jury he could easily have

decide it if they please. Let

Most shoes distort the foot because
they are wrongly shaped. They bind
the muscles, retard circulation, and
frequently cause fallen arches, corns

shoes.
Without departing from harmony in

AUSTRIA MAKES APPEAL
TO ALLIES FOR HELP
Reported England Preparing

LONDON, Jan. &c Thursday An ur-
gent appeal from Austria to the Allies,
intimating that disastrous consequences
are probable unless financial aid is given
the country. is engag ging the earnest at
tention of the British Government and a
decision favorable TO Austria probably
will be reached Thursday or Friday, ac-
cording to the London Times.
1t is understood. says the newspaper,
that Austria needs Immediately f2.500,
900, the same sum she vainly tried TO
raise in London before Christmas on the
security OF the famous Gobelin tapes
tries.
Maintaining that Austria VIII be un-
able to raise foreign credit until the
funding bill of Secretary OF the Treas
ury Mellon has passed the United States
Senate. enabling the United States to
forego its lien on Austrian assets. the
Times remarks that the present impasse
almost certainly will end with the pass
age of the Mellon bill, when Austria will
be able Immediately to repay the sum she
needs so urgently as a carryoyer loan
to prevent the further collapse OF the
crown
The Westminster Gazette says the
British Treasury has made a proposal
which, IL it is approved by the Premier
and the Cabinet, will result in Great
Britain loaning Austria f2,50O, 900
through the Anglo-Austrian Bank. Aus
tria's customs will be the security. This
newspaper understands that the loan
will be purely British, and not allied

"The first thing that made

feeling that seemed to be in the

though were really calling on
my friends in their own home.
| am frank to say that this was

that was given me by the
Belleclaire attendants, from
the time left the taxi in front
of the hotel until l was seated
with my friends in one of
those large and very comforta-
bic easy-chairs which you have
in your very pleasant lobby.
Everything was done for me
i'm such a willing, efficient
manner that it was with happy
anticipation that l entered the

to the contrary, / happen to be

pointed, for the food which was
set before us was exceptionally
good, the service excellent and
the general order and quiet
was soothing, in spite of the
fact that the dinin9-room was

people all around were pleas
ant-lookine and we'll hammered

In speaking of the AllStar nine of

ick Post says: Although the Fred
erick County High School Baseball
League ended its season on June IL,
the final game being between the mines
representing the Boys High School
and Emmitsburg High School at Cadet
Field, the selection of an all-star nine
from the league was delayed in order
to give time to study the records of
each player and to consider his claim
for a berth on the all-star nine.
"This took more time than usual
for the teams in the circuit were more
evenly balanced than at any previous
time in the history of the circuit. For
every position there were several who
seemed to have very nearly an equal
claim.
an selecting an infeld there was
not much trouble in picking out the
third basenan. Knott, of Thurmont,
the champion batter of the league,
played third base and was a good
steady infelder. He was, accordingly
selected as guardian of the "hot cor
ner."

GOT TRADE SECRET CHEAP
Dying Drunkard Sold for Fifty Dollars
the Only Method Of Making
DOLLS Eyes.

Dolls eyes have q romantic history,
says writer In Pearson's.
A Birmingham toy manufacturer
years ago was approached by one of
the largest dealers in dolls, who asked
him to undertake the manufacture Of
eyes.
The toy manufacturer, thinking
there was nothing in the business,
turned down the proposition.
But the business was big one, and
when an order to the value Of $500
was mentioned the manufacturer un-
dertook the work.
The real difficulties of the task then
became apparent. The first eyes were
hopeless failures, and great deal Of
money was spent on experiments. The
cleverest glass toy-workers in the
kingdom were engaged, but all to no
purpose. Finally the attempt was
given up.
About eighteen months later the toy
manufacturer, by strange chance,
met man utterly impoverished by
drink and in the last stages of con-
sumption, who held the secret Of the
process for making dolls eyes. He was
willing to sell this secret for f10.
Eagerly the manufacturer paid the
price, but SO incoherent were the dying
mans directions that 1t was ilnpossi-
bic to follow them.
In desperation the Birmingham
manufacturer went to the inventors
sarret and saw the process In actual
operation. Before half u dozen of the
eyes had been made the secret was
grasped and the manufacturer OF
dolls eyes was firmly established. !
