The acuity of hearing is expressed In a fraction, the numerator of which is the distance In feet at which the words are heard by the candidate and the denomina tor the distance In feet at which the words are heard by the normal ear I thus twenty twentieths records normal hearing, ten- twentieths imperfect hearing, eta If any doubt tkould exist to the truth- CERTIFICATE TO BE FILLED OUT AT PHYSICAL TESTS OF SOLDIERS . , . i .ii .- WASHINGTON, July 12.

Governor Signs Vare Anti-Narcotic Bill Continued from Puge fine vlsloned the nlnrmlng increase of tho dope scourge In Philadelphia and tho State His position ns I'nlted States Attorney gave him an unusual opportunity to Mew all ramifications of tho traffic He called to gether a number of public-spirited men nnd organized them Into a citizens' committee to study the situation nt close range nnd to search for a remedy Plcrco Archer, Jr.. former chief of tho Internal Revenue office In this city, was a member of this commit tee, nnd It was duo principally to his knowledge of nnrcotlcs and his legal ability that nn adequate antl-noreotle act was framed Vnluablo service was also per formed by Dr Horatio C Wood, Jr, Ed ward llok and other members of the com mittee. The new bill gives tho police authority to arrest persons on sight ns dope suspects, and nil persons with narcotics In their pos session can bo taken Into custody. Another strong feature of tho bill Is a provision which makes posslblo the arrest of druggists vvho sell patent medicines con taining nnrcotlcs to known drug addicts Such drugglRts ma ho arrested on the complaint of relatives or friends of drug users Another section provides that all physicians who treat drug addicts must register tho names of these addicts with the Hoard uf Health. This provision Is aimed to curtail tho activities of unscrupu. lous physicians who Imvo been reaping a harvest by'selllnp dope to unfortunntes under the gulso of the "reduction treat ment." News of tho signing of tho bill today caused a wave of fear to strike the few remaining drug venders In tho tenderloin Police officials say that tho venders have been leaving the State In largo numbers during tho last two weeks, and now that the bill is signed nnd Is a law, the police expect that all of them will migrate to fields whero tho laws regulating tho sale of drugs aro less stringent. Tho nrtlelo published in tho Kvhnino LmaEn exposing the dope traffic In Phila delphia not only set the wheels of reform turning In Pennsjlvanla, but caused other commonwealths to take account of stock nnd framo adequate laws for the curtail ment of the Illicit drug traffic. The Eve ning LEDann articles revealed how thou sands of dollars' worth of narcotics were smuggled Into Philadelphia weekly over the Canadian and Mexican borders and exposed other phases of the traffic. NEW ENGLAND SENATORS WANT TROOPS IN NORTH Oppose Proposal to Train Conscripts From Their States in South ern Camps WASHINGTON. -Tnlv 1 Senators Lodge and Weeks, of Massachu setts, and Hale, of Maine, today Joined in protest against the plan of the War De partment to train all New England units of the draft army in the South. "I am surprised and disappointed," said Senator Hale, "to find that the Administra tion now plans to have tho New England contingents of the national army sent to southern camps for training Instead of establishing camps In the North for this purpose. I had understood that this matter had been left to the Department of the East, and that there was to be a camp In Maine, I shall do all I can to have the original plan followed out, as I cannot understand the purpose of this sudden change." Senator Weeks takes the position that much of the warfare In which the Hew Eng land conscripts will participate in Europe will be under weather conditions similar to those of New England, and that It would be better to train them under these condi tions than to send them to the South.

Cold-Pack Method Adapted to Any Kitchen By JOHN BARTRAM 'TTTAR GARDENB" are now yielding ' their first crops. Many families which once bought vege tables and fruit In quarter pecks or small carriers this ear, thanks to their garden ing and patriotic Inspiration, are enjoying large "messes" of fresh green vegetables for dally uso and have a considerable sur plus Already I have received many queries from John Ilartrnmltes asking what to do with the excess of peas, string beans nnd beets Soon corn, cucumbers, carrots nnd tomatoes will be maturing bountifully. Then will come turnips, parsnips, cabbage, potatoes, brusscls sprouts, etc One man writes thero Is no sale for his excess crops, since all the neighbors have producing gardens Don't sell your surplus Follow Uncle Sam s advice nnd can, dry, storo or pickle It Ono of the wns this war Is to be won Is by conservation and preservation, as well as by production of food Alternating with the gardening nrtl. cles will be practical Instructions by which each family can storo food for the long, nonproductive winter months rt Is not too early for tho war girdener to begin thinking about canning his surplus products, savs the National Emergency Food Oarden Commission The splendid hulletlns of this public-spirited body of which Charles Uithrop Tack Is chalrmnn and Perclval Rldedale secretary, together with the tested experiments of the Federal Department of Agriculture, form the basis nf ntithorltntlve practical and economical methods and recipes, along with the house wlfelv loro of Mrs John Ilartrom to check off what Is ndapted for the average kitchen NEW METHODS When vegetables are plentiful In the mar ket, the patriotic housewife will help save civic waste by preserving nil vegetables her purse will allow. If vegetables are high in price the plea Is likely to be made that It does not pay to can them Rut this ear, when every ounce of food counts In tho great total, cost of preservation should not bo taken Into consideration as n bar rier. If vegetables aro expensive now, think what they will be when tho snow flies Tho averago housekeeper does not know the latest discoveries of science In food canning Sho knows only tne old way oi "putting up" by cooking thoroughly nnd then packing In cans or Jars This method Is not successful with most vegetables. It Is not too successful with fruit, ns many a housekeeper can testify who has gone to tho fruit shelf In winter to And romo of her choicest Jars moldy, sour or working The old method Is costly, too, because 11 de mands rich syrups and heavily spiced mix tures The latest development In food canning Is by sterilization Under this syrtem fruits and vegetables, well or slightly cooked, ns the case may be, are preserved by a process which kills all germ life In Jars or cans aftor complcto or part sealing WHY CANNED GOODS "SPOIL" It Is cheaper and easier to preserve food bv sterilization than by the old cooking method of canning, and, moreover. It Is even easier to put up vegetables than fruits by this method Cunned foods spoil because bacteria or micro-organisms are put up allvo with tho food and gradually extend their colonies of descendants. Therefore. If you can seal food In Jars and then by some process kill tho germs Inside of tho Jars the food will keep The process Is called sterilization These germs can bo killed by heat Lab oratory studies havo developed the amount of heat necessary for sterilization and the length of time for which Jars of food should be kept nt tho given temperature The heat of live steam or of boiling water Is sufficient to kill theso organisms, and this heat does not havo to be maintained for very long periods Instead of the hours of cooking In the old-fnshlonod way, Jars may be stir Ulzed In most cases In a few minutes There are several methods of steriliza tion, many of them requiring more or less expensive equipments The best of nl1, because It Is the simplest and cheapest and because it can be done with Implements In every kitchen.

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUMPUS SERGEANT DILL PICKLE By Fanner Smith "It's funny how much faster you can run when there Is some one after you," thought Billy Bumpus as he sat down to rest after the men had chased him up hill and down and failed to catch him. "A lot of artillerymen make a whole city, only they don't havo trolley cars and that sort of thing How interesting some of the men are! I will wait a while and then go back and see what is happening." Billy looked at the tented city below hlrti and then got up. He walked slowly down the hill until he came to one of the tents. No one waa around, so he peeked In. He sniffed this way and that. He saw a chair In the back of the tent and so he stood up on that to see the better. When he looked up, what should ne see nut a, dainty piece of rope just out oi his reach, lie stood up on his hind legs and reached Xor that rope. Inch by Inch he came nearer It, when, all of a sudden, the chair splashed right in the middle of a tub of water which was standing at the back of the tent. Not only that, but the tub was filled with bluing water and it was very, very blue. So was our friend Billy Bumpus, when he pulled himself out of the tub. The front part of htm was blue and the back was white. "I could go to the circus and be a blue goat and make a lot of money," said Billy to himself. "I wonder what kind of an artilleryman we have here who uses bluing," thought Billy, as he turned to go Into the tent once more. I guess I will have to hang myself up to dry, and then take a walk" But Billy did hot do this; he lay flown back ob theslftr I tho rtUIryjBD tent. r a tTyxn OAVIINiJ - -& TET me suggest thnt every ont who creates or fcultivatcs a jrax uen helps, nnd helps greatly, to solve tho problem of the feeding of th nations.

Plan to can or dry what you are unable to use on the table, following instructions in this department. State universities, You can buy equip ment for cold-pack canning. But a wash boiler with a tight cover and equipped with a false bottom made of laths or strips of wood, vvhlrh evon'an amateur carpenter can make, will do the trick quickly and satis factorlly This utilizes what Is known as the hot-bath method of cold pack. Care should be taken to distinguish be tween containers Intended for the distribu tion of food products and those used for canning nnd preserving, the National Emergency Food Gardens Commission wise ly warns. Attention is now being directed to the shortage of tin and the demand for glass Jars for summer canning operations. At the same time efforts are being made to en courage the use of paper or fiber contain, ers for all purposes for which their use Is practicable Theso two things should not be allowed to bring about confusion. It mii"t be remembered that fiber cannot be used In canning operations which require the sterilizing of vegetables or fruits in hot water or steam For this purpose glass or tin Is essential Paper containers are suggested by the United States Department of Commerce for storing Jellies and such preserves as are cooked and heavily sugared before packing, ns In the open-kettle method, although the user should bo sat isfied that the container Is of a typo that will properly preserve tho contents. The use of fiber containers Is recom mended for the distribution of various products from denier to consumer. The. shortage of tin has Increased the price for glass Jars, and manufacturers ore being urged to minimize the uso of glass as far as it Is posslblo to substitute paper or fiber containers Housekeepers may help In this economy, but they must not do it at the risk of having their home-canned prod, ucts spoiled by Inadequate protection.

When he woke up, he heard the sound of voices. "I tell you. Sergeant Dill Pickle, I didn't upset that tub' You are an old woman to have a tub around here, anyway I What do jou think of a man a man, mind you, who has to do his own washing?" said one of tho voices. "I don't, care what you think. This Is my tent and I am going to do as I please. There are too many mysteries going on around here, anyway I think you have done a lot of mischief, more than that goat," replied Sergeant Dill Pickle. "The very Idea! I bet that goat upset jour tub," said the voice. Billy could not hear very well, so ha lifted up his head, for then ho could hear with both ears. "That's you, blaming that mischief on a poor Innocent goat," said the sergeant. "You keep your mouth shut, or I -will put jou whero jou belong," said the other ar tlllcrj'man. There was not time for words after that, for they started to fight and over and over thej- went, until one of them landed right on Billy's stomach. He Jumped up in a hurry, but not soon enough for one of the soldiers to see him. "There Is that goat!" shouted Sergeant Dill Pickle. Both men got up, but Billy lay op the ground panting for breath They had al most squashed him to death. "Just jou wait," said Sergeant Tickle. "I'll fix that fellow." He made a grab for the broom, but before he reached It, Billy tore himself free from tho man who was holding him and made a dive for the door, in which stood tho sergeant reaching for his broom. Suddenly Billy saw another goat. This made him furious and he made for the sergeant, knocking him over and hurrying through the door, with the two men after him. He did not have time to see where the other goat was. He thought he would come back later.,, AND HE DID! WOMEN OF AMERICA ORGANIZE "SECOND LINE" CHICAGO. July 12.
