Railroad Companies Furnish Men to Fight Fires. Vancouver, B. C, Aeg. 21. A heavy pall of smoke caused by ap proaching forest fires hangs over this city, the air is oppressive and there are no signs of it clearing. The fires now burning in Vancouver a vicinity are the worst known in 10 years. They are now dangerously near the city, and are still burning fiercely. The Cana dian Pacific and British Columbia Elec tric railways have large bodies of men out on the Lulu island line fighting the flames. The fires are consuming hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of valuable standing timber, leaving hundreds of acres of land with nothing but black ened snags. The worst fires are in the Squamiah valley, and on Bowen island, but the blazes at Point Grey and in the Capilane valley are likely to prove very troublesome. The civic water works property is said to be threatened by the fire and a force of men has been sent out to check the flames. The fire has got into the big timber of some exceedingly valuable limits, and it was reported at Squamish land ing today that it was racing through the forest, and would, unless rain came soon, cause thousands of dollars of loss. The forest fires that threatened Nanaimo and Ladysmith are well under control today,. Much valuable timber has been destroyed, but no houses have fallen prey to the names. The old workings of the Extension mine were gutted by the fire. The telegraph line along the E. & N. is burned down. LAW SET ASIDE. Australia Allows American Marines to Rarade With Arms. Sydney, N. S. W., Aug. 21. There arose circumstance . in connection with the parade of American bluejack ets and marines in Sydney which at one time promised to make it impossi ble for the carrying out of the pro gram aa originoally planned, but the matter was adjusted and the men marched in accordance with expecta tions. Imperial regulations forbid the land ing of armed men in Australia. This fact was communicated to Admiral S perry, who in turn informed the gov ernment that he would not allow his men to participate in the procession and reviews unless they came ashore armed. This was followed by a con ference between Admiral Sperry and the commonwealth government, after which it was announced that the gov ernment had granted permission for the American sailors and marines to land .armed, but without ammunition, This provision waa accepted by the American commander.

BOYCOTT IS EFFECTIVE. Japanese Liner Forced to Cross Pa cific Without Cargo. San Francisco, Aug. 22. Proof of the effectiveness of the Chinese boycott on Japanese goods was furnished today when the Japanese liner Hongkong Maru arrived with no cargo. Of Chinese passengers the Hong kong Maru had only two. Eight took passage at Shanghai, but the boycott authorities heard about it and six were persuaded to go ashore and wait for an American liner. The other two were allowed to remain on the vessel for the reason that if they had awaited an other vessel their registration tickets would have expired beforo they arrived here. According to' passengers on the Hongkong Maru there is a great bust ness depression in Japan, and a number of steamship companies are on the Verge of bankruptcy. BUSINESS WILL INCREASE.

FRUITS AND VECE TABLES. New Canning Process Preserves Nat ural Color and F lavor. Pnrared by Jimeo Dryden. Orrt-on Agricultural llteri. ivrvau a. Certain fruits and vegetables may be preserved in such a way that they will retain indefinitely their original flavor, cc'or and atructure. Thia ia in the nature of a discovery, made by Prof. F. F. Pernot, of the Oregon Ag ricultural college. A report of Prof. Pernot'a investigations is given in Bulletin No. 87 of tho Experiment sta tion, Corvallis, and for the benefit of the housekeeper who is wrestling with the canning problem we give the sa- ient points of the bulletin. Successful canning is a question ot sterilizing. If a can of fruit spoils it means that it was not properly steril ized to start with, or there waa a leak age in the can. Spoiling of the fruit is due to germs which were in the fruit when it was canned or entered the can later. Sterilization kills the germs, and the fruit may be sterilized by cooking or heating. We quote the following paragraph from the bulletin: "Micro-organisms, not unlike all other plants, possess the power of self- preservation and of perpetuating their kinds; one is by means, of producing spores, or seeds, which are very resist ant; while others which do not produce spores have a resisting power nearly qual to that of spores. Heating the fruit to 160 degrees rot ten minutes will kill the germa with out injuring the good Qualities of the fruit, but the spores, which are un incubated ' germs will not be injured at that temperature and will become germs in another day, when the heat should again be applied. A few spores may escape the second heating, making third steaming necessary. How It Should Be-Done. First Clean the fruit jars or cana by means of a brush, using hot water to which washing powder has been added. After washing thoroughly steam the jars to remove any dirt that may remain. Second After washing the vegeta bles or fruit place them in jars, com pletely filling them. Then add water to fill the interstices, and put on lid. Don't screw it on tight or the jar will burst when heat is applied. Third Procure a wooden steam chest, the wash boiler will'do, and put some water in the bottom of it. Put slats in the bottom on which to set the jars. Fourth To get the proper tempera ture, put a thermometer in the center of an extra jar of fruit or water and steam the fruit at a temperature of 160 to 165 for ten minutes. Do not let temperature get above 165. Then remove jars and screw lids on tight immediately. Repeat the steaming a second and a third time at intervals of 24 to 48 hours. The jars are then sterile. Cans may be used instead of jars. If the latter aru used the vent in the top of the can will have to be soldered after the first steaming. Boiled but not boiling water should be used for filling the jars, or a syrup may be used instead of water. Un sterilized water or syrup muy contain about ten million germs in a quart jar, and it is just as well to "nip them in the bud" by sterilizing the water. It ia important that the fruit or vegeta bles be neither under-ripe nor over ripe. The same good jundgment used in selecting material for the table should be exercised in the matter of canning. It was found in the testa made at the experiment station that a temper ature of 165 degrees waa sufficient to sterilize the fruit when treated aa above, and this temperature did not impair the flavor or structure of the fruit. Where only one heating is given, as ia the case at the canneries, it ia necessary to heat the fruit as high as 240 degrees in order to kill both spores and germs. It should be stated that this method of canning was not successful with sweet peas and corn, as they have a germ normally that ia not killed at temperature of 165. This method would probably not bt practicable at canneries, where fruit is sold at low prices, owing to the ad ditional expense of treating the cans three times; but for first class high priced goods the additional expense would be warranted. In the case of home canning, however, it is a more desirable method of putting up fruit and vegetables than the methods usu ally in vogue. A farmer residing near Almira, Washington, inquires concerning the milk weed pest which is infesting that locality. Professor R. Kent Beattie, of the department of botany, answered s follows : "The perennial milk weed, which I believe you have, is very difficult to destroy. The only principal upon which you can work is to keep the tops of it closely cut down, so that the plant cannot make food, until you have starved out the rovta. Thia, of course, is a difficult task, especially if they cover a large field. I would put the patches into clean cultivation, either as graden, or potato plots; then it would pay you to work very hard to exterminate these weeds, for they are difficult to kill once they take posses sion of the land."

Malaria ia due to impurities in the blood which destroy the rich, healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid. The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system suffers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion Is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition. Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the blood becomes deeply polluted with the malarial germs. Both a tonic and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood purifiers and at the same time an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part ot the system.
