MORE EVIDENCE
AGAINST PATTON
Ex-Service Men Tell of His Abusive
Manner at Third Day of
Investigation.
BURLINGTON, April 29-The thir,

BURLINGTON, April 29.-The third
day of the investigation of charges
brought against DR.. ]. r. Patton. sub
district medical officer of the United
States veterans bureau, sub-diStrict of
Vermont, by the American Legion of the
state and by Allen Fletcher. manager of
the bureau in this sub-district, before a
special commission appointed by the head
Of the bureau for this district, was fea-
tured by a suggestion on the part of the
chairman, DIR. David Flanagan, to eX-
cude all who were not TO be witnesses in
the trial. including the newspaper men,
which later was withdrawn.
The testimony during the day was for
the most part n continuation of the
charges of the two previous days, that DR.
Patton had a manner which caused dis
satisfaction among the disabled veterans
who came into contact with him.
One witness. DR.. w. w. Townsend
was called early yesterday morning by
the defense for his convenience. His tes-
timony was to the effect that the disabled
if they had had any service at all,
should not have been at all put out by
the manner of DR.. Patton. Certain de-
scriptions of DIR. Patton's disposition
made by this witness on cross-exan1na-
ton were greatly modified under redirect
examination. He did admit that he had
given DR.. Patton some fatherly advice
as to his manner with the boys.
James L. Kelly, acting assistant train
ing supervisor at the local sub-district
Office of the bureau, testified that he did
not think that DIR. Patton was giving
service to the disabled because of his
manner.
Beryl w. Randall of Richmond testi-
fed that in December. 1919, he went to
DIR. Patton and wanted treatment. He
gained the impression that DIR. Patton's
manner was not such as should be ac-
corded a disabled man. He charged DIR.
Patton with lack of courtesy and ungen-
tlemanly conduct, basing his statement on
complaints made to him by ex-service
men whom he had assisted in making
claims to the government as post officer
of the Legion.
Mrs. \. L. l.. Austin, poIicewoman,
told of living in the block Mt 127 St
Paul street where DIR. Patton had his
office. Mrs. Austin. her family and others
talked about the manner in which DIR.
Patton was treating the disabled and
she did not think the game was being
played fair" She also told of showing
Il man to DIR. Patton's Office and hearing
DIR. Patton say to him when lie entered,
What in h ais you?'
Walter Foley of this city testified that
he went to DIR. Patton's Office and that
after he had told of his ailment, lung

How to Make the
Best Plum Jam
Real Tart Plum Flavor
Easily Preserved
By Ann Proctor

The finest plum jam you ever
tasted-chock full Of the natural
color and flavor-can be made at
home within ten minutes after the
plums are sliced and crushed. like
the "Certo Process" as I can use
ripe plums and because II takes
only one minutes boiling. thus saw
ing flavor and color; II never fails,
and is cheaper because ! get two
thirds more jam from the same
amount Of plums.
The "Certo Process" for making
plum jam is very simple: Use fully
ripened fruit for finest flavor: slice
pit and crush well about OTIS. or
IN lbs. Of plums. Measure 4 level
cups e lbs) crushed fruit and Y
cup water into large kettle, stir
until boiling, cover kettle and sim
mer Is minutes. Add IN leveled
cups az lbs) sugar and mix well.
Stir hard and constantly and bring
to vigorous boil over hottest fire.
Boil hard l minute with continual
stirring. Take from fire, add u
bottle (scant u cup) Certo and stir
It In well Skim and pour quickly
into sterilized glasses.
BY this short ''Certo Process"
you save all the color and flavor
that is boiled away eby the old
method. Time and worry are also
saved and you have s pounds of
jam from 2h pounds Of plums as
compared~to 3 pounds Of jam by
the old method.
The above recipe and nearly 100
others for making delicious jellies
and Jams by the "Certo Process
are found in the Certo Book OF
Recipes, a copy Of which will be
given to you by your grocer or
druggist when you get Certo. Extra
copies will be sent free II you write
to the Pectin Sales Company. l2a
East Avenue, Rochester, N. Y. =.
Use Certo this year in making all
your Jams and jellies. It saves
time, worry and boiling. The Ger
to Process" never fails and saves
money, because you make half as
much more jam from the same
amount Of fruit. Certo-made Jams
and jellies have perfect keeping
qualities.
