Guard Against "Flu''
 With Musterole

Influenza, Grippe and Pneumonia usually start with cold. The moment you get those warning aches, get busy with good old Musterole.
 Musterole is a counter-irritant that relieves congestion (which is what a coldreally isl and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster without the blister.
 Just rub it on with your finger tips. First you will feel a warm jingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief.
 Have MuSterole handy for emergency use. It may prevent serious illness. To Mothers: Musterole is also made in milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole.

Two Homes in Wolcott Raidcd- Death of John Peter Bassar--Mrs Hale Makes Plea for Better Mo- ton Pictures.

Relief of the dangerous coasting situation, which has arisen through sliding on hills used extensively by motor cars and on streets which adjoin hills. Is being sought by the police. aided by the school depart- mcnt. Seven coasters, ranging in ages from to 22 years old, were ordered yesterday to report at po- lice headquarters today because of sliding on hills which have been posted. The court officials declined today to do other than warn the offenders and called their~ attention toward a condition which menaces the lives of children. AS a result of g conference this morning 1t was decided 10 throw open certain hills and sand others 10 prevent sliding in the forbidden sections.
 Coasting will be allowed on Oak land street to Goodwin; on Wood land street 10 Bradley; on Queen; on Pond from Curtiss to 1ngraham; on George street, the full length; Buckley Hill; South street on the old mountain road to the Pine street junction. All other hills will be sanded by the public works depart ment at once so that no further trouble may result.
 Matters came to head yesterday when complaints were made by mo- torists and by others concerning the coasters. Captain Thomas r. Cuck- en detailed Officer William w.. Thompson to the Maple street hill to stop the sliding and his visit re- suited in the appearance of the IT offenders this morning. The Maple street hill is considered particularly dangerous as scvora streets intersect it and the end of the hill crosses the railroad tracks.
 The police are of the opinion that some of the motorists were over jealous in their complaints but sought at once to transfer the coast CTS to a safer location. With the school. public works and police de- partments cooperating 1t is antici- rated that conditions will be ma terially improved.

 Agitation has been started for flooding the high school athletic field for use as q skating rink and also for the erection of a toboggan slide at the place.

clean, fresh, sound fruits and vege-
tables should be used for canning

be stuffed with cream or cottage

and pineapple combine well, and the
stuffed cherries may be added to pine

THE RACKET ROGUES

OF course there are great many of
of them in order to play the game in
the way 1t should be played.
1t is called the racket game.
1t is not played with either one
racket or many rackets. But there are
plenty of players.
The rules of the game are few. In
fact there is only one chief rule. If
they all obey this chief rule it is all
that is expected Of them.
The chief rule is that all should
make as much noise as possible. and
they play many times when no one is
certain that they are playing, but when
they are certain that there is lots of
noise.
Those who play this game are called
the Racket Rogues.
They call themselves rogues because
they love to be naughty and full Of
FRANKS and roguish. They adore mis-
chief and nonsense, but above all they
love noise.
They love noise so much that they
could never have called themselves
anything but Racket Rogues.
When there is about to be any
noise anywhere some of the members
of the Racket Rogue club are always
on hand. They are ever ready for
noise.
They hear some noise and some of
them rush toward it and without being
seen they add great deal of noise of
their own.
They laugh and talk at the tops of
their voices. They shrek and yell and
scream.
They exclaim and shout and howl.
They move" things with as much noise
as possible. They do everything that
they do with all the noise they can.
They walk heavily, they jump heav-
lily.
They hate quiet and stiffness and ST.

join each noise they hear is that there

CANNED TOMATOES
ARE VERY USEFUL
Do Not Spoil Easily if GiUen
Proper Care.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Tomatoes can probably be prepared
in greater number of ways than any
other common vegetable. They form
the basis of many soups and are used
in sauces for fish or oysters. AS a
vegetable they may be used in many
ways. Tomatoes are one of the stand
bys in salad making and the combina-
tons made with onions, pepper and
spices are almost endless. Canned,
they do not spoil easily when reason
able care is exercised in the work
One of the best methods of canning
tomatoes is: Select only sound and
ripe tomatoes. Dip them in boiling
water for abC1t IL minutes or until
the skins loosen. Remove skins and,
with a slender-pointed knife, cut out
the core without cutting into the seed
cells. Have in readiness jars which
have been boiled 10 minutes. Pack
the whole tomatoes into the jars as
rapidly as they are peeled. Add one
level teaspoonful of sugar and one
half teaspoonful of salt to each quart
Put on the cleansed rubber which has
been dipped in hot soda water and top
which has been boiled 10 minutes.
Half tighten the top. If hot-water
bath Gamer, either commercial or
homemade, is used, place jar on false
bottom with sufficient water to process
the jars Boil 80 minutes after the
water starts boiling vigorously. Re
move jars, tighten tops, invert to test
for leaks and store in a cool, dark,
dry place.
Another procedure which is more
economical of space is to fill quart
jars with peeled whole tomatoes and
then pour in a thick tomato sauce.
Each jar will have whole tomatoes for
salads or baking and tomato PURGE
for soups or sauces. This. sauce is
made by cooking the small or broken
tomatoes until tender The seeds are
then removed and the pulp concen-
trated by boiling to about the con-
sistency of catsup. Process quart jars
for 80 minutes.
If desired, all of the tomatoes may
be cooked to pulp and more eco
nomical utilization of space within the
jar will be obtained
