New York, Aug. 13 You really

then the next best thing is just to

Canning has not only become the
favorite occupation uut tne lavonte

man gets home at night to the bosom
of bis family and asks said bosom
what she hns been doing all day, not
that ho cares or even listens to her

surprise of his tired business life.
In the olden times of course he was
tattfe to count on one of threo answers,
brldgo, dancing or movies. Now when

with the startling announcement that
Him has been canning, the strange

news and he gets all muddled up as
to whether the Russians revoluted this
afternoon or the Germans are going
to win the world series. Then when
ehe leads him proudly to the rows cf
gooseberries and a sextet of glasses
of currant and raspberry jelly he's so
pleased and happy that he kisses her
right by the jelly and ten to one takes
her out to the theatre as a reward
of merit 1
iSo you see it certainly pay to can.
Nowadays there are such fascinat
ing aids to preserving and pickling,
too. Gummed labels ready to stick on
the outside of your finished products
come ready printed in blue black,
green or red to suit any fruity color
scehme. Some of them more ornate
have garlands of fruits, designated by
the label, around the border In life
like colorings. Disks of gummed
paper, hand colored in the respective
fruits, come also to fit on top of the
glass or jar over the parafine. Some
ultra artists In pickles and jellies
even may go so far as to sign each
delectable masterpiece with a tiny
gummed label bearing their mono
gram. As for the variety of glasses and
jars they are irresistible. Glasses for
jellies are fluted or plain with a de
sign in the bottom of the glass only
which stands out in beautiful bas re
liof when the successfully jelliedd jelly
in turned out in all its amber or crim
son perfection.
Most adorable little jars of cream,
grey, or blue and white stone come in
tempting shapes for marmalades and
jams and the bigger stone crocks and
jars for pickles and preserves make
excellent neutral back grounds for a
variety of gay colored labels.
Not all the charming labels or
quaint shaped recepticals for the out
side will help you however if the in
side isn't all it should be.
It is a crushing blow to spend a hot
afternoon and lots of money for high-cost-of
-living sugar and fruit, only to
have tho final results a sticky gooey
mass. If you cook your fruit the least
bit too long or pick it the least bit
too ripe or start the job on a day
that is the least bit too cloudy and
dark, then it is all off and you mny
as well put up your jelly in bottles
as the cunning jars you have all steri
lized and ready for it.
If you're lucky and the atmosphere
and everything is just right, however,
your success with plain jellies and
jams will lead you on into wonder
ful realms of fascinating concoctions
and combinations. Arrays of shining
jnrs and glasses will then eventually
pack your storeroom shelves with such
delectable delicacies as picked cher
ries, picked and brandied peaches,
spiced currants, spiced gooseberry,
pineapple and Btrawberry conserve,
quince honey, plum and walnut con

Besides it smells as if my watermel- (

enough anyway so pardon me, wont
you? And remember that she who

Stomach and Liver Troubles
No end of misery arid actual suffer

TWO 101 NEWSPAPERS
AHE CONSOLIDATED
Messenger and Chronicle Merge Ow
ing to High Cost of Production
Advertising Rates to Be Adjusted.
The Fort Dodge (la. Messenger
and Chronicle have consolidated.
The l'Y.vt Dodge Sentinel, of which
ibe Mess- nger is the lineal descend
ant, was established in 1856. In
18G1 it was consolidated .with the
Kort Dodge Republican. In 1804 the
name was changed to the Iowa North
west, and in 1872 it became the Fort
Dodgo Messenger.
Tho decisive cai.se of the merger, it
is stated, is tho extraordinary rise in
the cost of producing newspapers.
While every item that is used in the
printing and publishing business has
jumped upward as the result of tho
war, the one biggest jolt of all be
cause it is the chief commodity used
was given by the paper manufactur
ers.
In a statement to the public the
new management says:
News print paper costs 100 per cent
moro than it did two years ago. Sev
eral hundred tons of it arc used by
the local papers yearly, and the in
crease of cost amounts to thousands
of dollars per annum.
Consolidation of papers has been
taking place in many other cities of
the United States. In fact, the tend
ency was noticeablo elsewhere long be
fore the wnr. Daily newspapers arc
no longer political organs anywhere.
They are neither the makers nor tools
of any kind of organizations. One

BARRY TRYING TO STRENGTHEN
CHAMPIONS
By H. C, HAMILTON j
(United Press Staff Correspondent) !
New Yor, Aug 11 The Difference
between the White Sox and the Red
Sox not to speak of other American
leagues baseball clubs isn't enough
in the Red Sox favor to give Jack
Barry any feeling of top-heaviness.
For the first time in several years
strenuous efforts are being made to
strengthen the world's champions.
Of course, all managers are always
trying to add strength to their !ubs,
but real efforts to get any certain cog
haven't been made in Boston Ameri
can league, circles for several years.
At the Btart of tho season Barry
kept Aemow, a strong, heady catcher,
on the bench, and worked Cady and
Thomas almost exclusively. He now
has discovered that Agnew is the best
of the three and the former Brownie
is getting all the heavy work. Cady
has been found to be too slow, and
Thomas too much of a machine. .
President Frazee recently made
Clarke Griffith an offer for Catcher
Henry of the Senators, but tho Wash
ington club couldn t see it that way
at all.
Barry is still combing the Ameri
can league for surplus backstopping
material, but is having little luck.
Barry, by tho way, is finding the
life of a manager particularly trying.
He has practically given up active
play and is spending his time on the
bench while Harold Janvrin does the
second base.
Few successful playing manars
ever have been noted in the majors.
Probably the only recent exception
was Millor Huggins of the Cardinals,
and he has been much more successful
since he abandoned the diamond.
Connie Mack is dissatisfiod with
his schoolboy wonder shortstop, Law
ton Witt, and has displaced him in
favor of a recruit named Dugan.
Witt hasn't been hitting at the proper
gait to suit the main who used to run
that marvelous $100,000 infield. .

Hospital Unit Notes
Sgt. Cunrey overslept Saturday,
consequently Privates Murphy, Palnr-
er and Andrews had to raise the O.-W.
flag without the presence of the
Sargeant.
The mess kits for the company are
expected in a few days from Salt
Lake to be distributed among the
men.
a a
Lt. Plamondon was kept busy this
morning during "right dress" in tell
ing Private Murphy to keep his eyes
up. Murphy muBt have been sleepy.
a a
If the Hospital Unit leaves before
the latter part of next week they ex
pect to take Gussic Lewin along on a
stretcher. That will be performing
duties before they are in active scr-1
vice. Well, practice makes perfect.
Sgt. Rice must not bo satisfied with
the uniforms Uncle Sam provides or
else he is afraid he might not get
his before ho leaves here, thus depriv
ing him of the privilege of showing
off to his friends, for he has ordered
n uniform to be made for him at his
own expense.
a
Some of the privates are grumb
ling nbout the many rocks nnd rough
places on the drill grounds at the
Fair grounds. They might as well
get used to it here before they go.

The privates think they ought to
all be doctors as they have lots of
patients (7) in waiting for their uni
forms.
, . . Ask Anyone Who Has Uced It
There are families who always aim
to keop a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house
for uso In case it i3 needed, and find
that it is not only a. good investment
but saves them no end of suffering.
As to its reliability, ask anyone who
has used it.

NATIONAL FOREST
RECEIPTS INCREASE
Portland, Ore. Aug. 13 (Special)
Receipts from the National Forests
in tho fiscal year just closed exceeded
those for 1916, the banner previous
ycur, by more than $600,000, and
totaled over $3,450,000. Practically
one-fourth of this increase came from
the National Forests of Oregon, Wash
ington and Alaska. The cost of op
erating the forests, about $4,000,000
was virtually the same as in 1916.
The Increase, according to the for
estry officials, came chiefly from
more active timber business and from
the higher fees charged for grazing,
although practically every form of uso
of the forests was greater than ever
before and nearly every revenue-producing
activity contributed to the
gain. The only exception was that of
sales of turpentining privileges, which
fell off nearly one-half. Since these
sales are made only on the Florida
forest the receipts from this source
are relatively small.
The timber business realized for the
government over $ 1,600 00 and live
stock grazing over $1,500,000. Per
mits for water-power development
brought in over $100,000 and other
forms of land occupancy, including
leases of land for summer homes, as
much more. In this item the gam was
28 per cent.
It is pointed out, by the forest ser
vice that many forms of use of the
forests bring in no revenue. Settlers
in and near the forests are allowed
much free timber for domestic and
farm use and are also allowed free
grazing up to ten head of milch or
work animals, as pumic recreation
grounds the forests are open to all
without charge, , while their almost in
estimable value for water conserva
tion is maintained solely at the cost
of the covernment. Although their
administration and protection as pub
lic utilities necessitate large expend
itures which yield no money returns,
the narrowing gap between expendi
tures and receipts holds out the pros
pect, those in charge of the work leel,
that the revenues will in no great
time exceed the operating cost.
With the demand for timber mark
edly stimulated by war conditions, the
government foresters anticipate a
further increase in the National For
est cut and the receipts for timber
during the current year. On the oth
er hand, they point out that an in
crease in business will necessarily call
for more' work and increased costs.
Congress provided for this by increas
ing the funds available this year for
National Forest administration and
protection by about $80,000.
Of the grazing receipts cattle fur
nished approximately $900,000 and
sheep $570,000. On account of the
feed shortage faced by the livestock
industry throughout a great part or
the west last spring, and because of
the needs of the nation for meat, wool
and hide production, the stock were
admitted early and up to the full limit
of the carrying capacity of the ranges.
As a
f r-,..!.. o-rnTLmo- thft
-
capacity of the ranges has been grow
mg greater for some years, the for
est service officials stat-, and the in
crease in grazing receipts is in part
due to the fact that the herds on the
forests this summer are larger than
in any previous season.
