Canned Food Poisoning Easy to A1Oid

In places with high altitude this
pressure may be less than in places
of low altitude. In the western
states sterilization in steam under
pressure is necessary.
For non-acid vegetables. such as
asparagus, peas, corn. string beans,
spinach and the root vegetables,
sterilization simply to the boiling
point of water is unsafe. Acid vege-
tables do not require such action.
Fruit juices may be ruined as to
taste by heating for too long a
period to the boiling point, hence
they are heated for longer periods
at less than the boiling point.
The University of California Col
lege of Agriculture has issued Circu-
lar No. 276. which presents the latest
detailed data concerning safe home
canning methods.
A study of the circular will mean
increased safety and a lower Incl
dence of food poisoning in future
years.

The Solution

THIS is an unusual problem. AL
Il though containing only four
cards, it is liable to prove confusing.
The solution lies in trumping high
and then throwing trump trick to
the opponents.
South leads the three of clubs,
and North trumps with the queen.
North next leads the eight of
trumps, South discarding his spade
and West winning the trick with the
ten. Now West is forced to lead
club to South's major terrace.
OF course it is easy to see that if
North trumps the opening lead with
the eight, East will defeat the prob
lem by winning two spade tricks.
The only method lies in forcing
West to lead.

Editorial Comment


(SlOux Falls, S. d., ArguS-L LEADER
Now that everyone is agreed that South Da-
kota's primary law is farce, it is time to be
casting about for substitute.
There are those who say, and few deny their
contention, that the old convention system was
better than the one we have. But in it's day,
the convention or caucus plan was as roundly
attacked as the Richards law is today. It was
to eliminate the evils Of it that the people of
South Dakota voted for the change. The
change, sad to state, has now been found to
contain most of the old evils and whole flock
of new ones. Time has demonstrated this.
Though the Richards law has all the appear
ances of being perfect in theory, practice
brought out the flaws.
The Fundamental purpose of any voting law
is to provide free, direct and unhampcred ex-
preston Of the preference Of the voters. That
we are far from this ideal is apparent to any,
one. There Is so much red tape in the law that
it defeats it's purpose. Few voters went to the
polls at the precinct elections and those who
did go had little or no opportunity to express
a direct or even indirect preference for the
men they favored for office. They voted for
proposal men who were sent to county COLI
vention. At the county convention, three pro-
posal men were selected to 90 to Pierre By
the time of the Pierre gathering, the wish of
the rank and file of the voters was completely
lost in the technical preliminaries.
This form of state convention has developed
a most vicious kind of trading. County delega-
tons arrive determined to put over some favor
lite son candidate from their region. They
bargain for votes with no thought at all to the
qualifications of the various candidates with
whom they are bargaining. The only thing
that counts is the number of votes that can
be delivered.
The Argus-Leader does not know Of any
system that can be devised that will be en-
tirely free from evil. Abuses are bound to
creep in. It is likely, however, that South Da-
kota can work out simple measure that will
permit a more direct expression from the
people.
