HOME CANNED GOODS

While you cannot always choose the biggest and best rcd apples or the largest red, ripe tomatoes. for canning purposes, you can use the greatest care possible in canning or preserving fruits and vegetables for family use.
 Tho health of the family may be imperiled if one bad can or jar of fruit should chance to be charged with toxic fruit or vegetables.
 The United States Public Health Service has recently completed a series of studies in canned food poi soning at the University of Chicago meteorological laboratories. pr. John .. Geiger, who has had charge Of the work, says the only sure preventive is to hoil the food, jar and all, for sev- eral hours before storing it. The real time of this boiling should be from three to siN hours, according 10 the size and kind of container.
 The reason for high mortality in cases of canned fruit or vegetable poisoning is that medical science is as yet unable to cope with botulism "a form of poison in deeaying vege- tables) even after the symptoms have been diagnosed. The danger is that often there is no evidence of food spoilage. This proves that food may be highly toxic, On the other hand, food may be spoiled and yet it may not be poisonous or have any ill ef- fleets on tho human system.
 Housewives and others may avoid this dangerous infection by using the precaution which has been pointed out. It is a little more trouble, but surely the lives Of your loved ones arc worth lot Of time and trouble.
 Boil your canned fruit and vege- tables half an hour when opened for use.

Erection of a $4,000 900 plant for

unit of a mammoth plant to be
erected in Pontiac with a million

force in the present Pontiac plant
has been increased from 1000 to
$500.
Work on a new half-million-dollar

the first robin-an indication OF the
return of spring?
If you are guilty, give up your
membership in the alternating fra
ternity and make application for q
place in that class of motorists who
drive cars the year around. Then
you will really enjoy motoring, is
the advice given by G. HI. Warning
ton, Chandler and Cleveland dis
tributor in this city. He said:
Only q few years ago 1t was
the prevailing custom for many
motorists to put their cars up for
the winter as early as October,
but now 1t is different. One is
considered a back number If he
does not drive his car throughout
the year.
At the first touch of cold
weather, why don't the railroads
stop their regular train schedules,
the street car companies diScOn-
tinue their car service? You prob
ably will cay that it would be
impractical. The same answer is
applicable to those who take their
cars off the road and put them
in cold storage until spring.
Don't think the fellow is foolish
who drives his car all winter. In
deed he is only enjoying his car
in the cold months the same as in
the summer. To him a short
drive out into the country with
the roads covered with a blanket
of snow. affording picturesque
scenes on either side, gives him a
new perspective, new vim and
vitality for the remainder of the
day

stimulus to the system. Even
though you drive in an open car,
there are many conveniences on
the market that put Old Man
Zero in the background. To the
individual who owns closed car
he Is of no concern.
The temperature holds no dis
comfort because with the win.
dows of the car closed, one can
drive along with no thought of
the biting cold without.
Motorists of the all-winter driV-
ing class know how to keep their
cars in condition. They are
aware that it Is necessary to
keep alcohol of sufficient consis-
tency in the radiator to prevent
freezing; they fully appreciate
the need of using the proper
grades Of oil with changing sea-
sons. The adjustment OF the

attended to.

against loss or damage to his car
As most provisions OF the automo-
bile policy are similar to collision,
fire and theft protection, they will
be considered together.
Although differing as regards
the hazards covered. these various
types OF insurance all limit recov-
cry to indemnity for actual loss or
damage resulting to the body, ma
chinery or equipment of the auto
bile described in the policy. The
caverage afforded by each type
may be summarized as follows:
CollisiOn--Loss resulting from
accidental collision with any auto
mobile, vehicle or other object,
either moving or stationery. This
does not include damage to tires
such as punctures, cuts, gashes
or blow.outs unless caused by an
accident which also results In
other loss or damage to the in
sured automobile. Besides being
limited to the actual cash value
Of the property damaged at the
time of 4 collision or the cost of
suitable repair or replacement, the
company's liability may be further
modified by, the use of $50 or
