Polk to have tho Belgian Mission visit Phil adelphia. Tho mission Ms now making a tour of tho United States, and Philadelphia Is not upon Its present Itinerary. Tho movement to have tho mission visit tho Quaker City was lnstltutedy Baron Ludovlc Moncheur, head of the mission. In a letter to William Potter, of Chestnut Hill, former Ambassador to Italy, ho asked that Mr. Potter do everything In his power to have Philadelphia, placed upon tho Itinerary of tho mission. Mr. Potter transmitted tho roqucst to the Mavor, and the latter laid the matter before the Department of State at Washington. ABldo from desiring to visit America's most Important historical city, Baron Mon cheur has other reasons for wanting to come to Philadelphia. His wlfo's brother was horn In Delaware County, near Philadel phia. Baroness Moncheur was Miss Char lotto Clayton, n daughter of tho late Gen eral Powell Clayton, ono time United States Senator from Kansas, and later Ambassador to Mexico, The other appeal that this city holds for the Belgian Is the deslro to renew old acquaintances with Mr. Potter, who, during hl3 stay In Rome ns American minister, bc camo a close friend of the Belgian, who at that time was an attache to his govern ment's legation IHOME-MADE AND OTHER OUTFITS Si FHT?

Five types tfoutnt are In general use, each having ad- N-nntages for special uses. The home- jau outfit Is efficient and safe Tne otner Iliads are very satisfactory If one wishes jto buy equipment. Their main advantages ire shorter time and less gas consumed ana f llso larger capacity. Kh ti THE HOME MADE OUTFIT Home-made hot-water bath outfits nre lonstructcd of such utensils as wash boll tn. tin palls, milk cans, metal washtubs Ihd lard palls. Such canners should have WeU-flttincr covers and falso bottoms or Wtlng platforms of jnetal or wood. The Utter are to support Jars or cans to pre tent direct contact with heat and also to Hhnlt a free circulation of water nnd steam Iround and under the containers. 'lithe falso bottom can be made of strips f lath or of very strong galvanized or cop- MftT wire. It should have handles of loops M wire for convenience In lifting Jars or Hns out. In a pinch it Is possible to use a Bin layer of straw or a heavy cloth sev- l times folded.

WATER-SEAIi OUTFITS Water-seal outfits consist of a double- Ued bath and cover, which projects down lato th water bptwopn the outer and Inner tWUls, thus making three tin or galvanized eui walls and two water Jackets between w Bterlllzlng vat and outer surface of the ttaner.

"There Isn't a mnthi in this wni.tfn.t,. has sent her son to tho front, who hasn't asked herself: 'Why must It bo my boy?' As she spoke. Mrs. Sydney Lomas smiled sadly. She had been sitting nlono In the dusk, her thoughts very far away, for her boy Is In France. He Is Norman Lomas, of 501 East John son street, Germantown, the youngest Sam meo at the front. When he enlisted he was niteen. He swore to eighteen, and because he was tall and physically perfect, ho "sot by the recruiting omcerft "lie came home one Monday afternoon." raid his mother "It was Just after the first call to tho colors. Usually he went to tho Y. M. C. A for a swim on Monday, and he would be late getting home, so I was surprised when ho walked In about half past four. He Is so tall that I hnve to look up to him, and It struck mo ai I stood there in tho hall, how grown up he was. Then I looked at his eyes: ho has big, blue eyes" sho stopped a minute. "I knew then that he had made some big decision; that my little hoy had gone forever. For he had the gaze of a man, nnd It frightened me. "I said to him' "Norman, where have you been? What have you done? And he never raised his voice ns ho answered me 'I've enlisted, mother ' "It stunned mo for a minute. Then It came over me that thero must be some way to get him back. Of course there was a way. Ho was under nge. "I clung to this hope as I remonstrated with him' " 'Why you nre only a boy. You can't onllst. You are under age. You ,never said you were eighteen. Norman." " "Yes, but I did Don't try to change anything, mother I havo made up my mind,' and as he spoke his eye3 were like sjeel "Ills father came In later, and we had It out. We nrgued most of tho night. Ills father said it should not be. Norman Just sat thero with hli Jaw set At last we went to bed, heart sick nmt worn out, but we couldn't chanco the boy's mind. "01! courso thero was one thing left 1o do, we could go to tho recruiting office nnd prove that he was under age ; but that meant dishonorable discharge from the Marino Corps. I knew that it would break Norman's heart and that he would never forglvo me, so I decided that we had best let matters rest. He wai only In the Marine Reserve, any way And every one assured us that ho wouldn't be sent to France for a year or longer. "Ho was ordered to report at tho navy yard tho day after ho enlisted. That was had enough, hut ho got home several times a week, and that was some comfort. I con soled myself with the thought that I would have him close by for a long time. Then came the call for volunteers to go to France, and he offered himself. "By that time I was resigned to any thing. I had gone through the torturo of lying safe and warm In bed, hearing the rain coming down In torrents outside and knowing that my boy was out in It on guard duty. I had died n thousand times and 1 had Imagined all that was awful and hopo less. GLAD HER BOY HAD DONE IT "Then It camo to me at last that I was ono of about a million American mothers that had been called upon to give up their sons, and I began to understand why U was necessary for mo to do It, nnd I (rnc to the place where I was glad my boy had done what ho did. "Ho camo home ono Sunday and told us he expected to sail early that week prob ably Tuesday. Ho fooled around tho kitchen a lot nnd raided tho enkebox he loves chocolate cake and finally he started toward the door. " 'Norman,' I called, 'you're never going off without telling, us all good-by ' He Just waved his hand and said: "'I'm coming out tomorrow night to 'say good-by,' and he was down tho steps and nwav. "The transport sailed the next morning Instead of Tuesday. Of course, ho didn't know that when ho left me. but I think ho was relieved to go without a real good-by He might not havo been so brave then, but I believe ho would havo tried mighty hard, "He's a quiet boy. He ncer had any thing to say to any one about his enlisting. He hated to talk nbout It Ho never felt that he was doing anything unusual, He had Just decided from tho ilrst that ho had to go.

So far five deaths have occurred out ot , eleven cases. The outbreak la confined to the eastern part of Lancaster Count. - J. 4 IN FRANCE AT AGE OF 15 The youngest Snmmco is Norman Lomas, son of Mr. ntul Mrs. Sid ney E. Lomas, of 501 East John son street, Germantown, who 'is serving with the marine corps. He was n freshman last term at the Germantown High School, where he played tackle on the football team. luALUMIKUM PRESSURE COOKERS IAlumlnum pressure cookers are comblna- oa outfits for general cooking purposes fhlch are used also for home canning of ws, vegetables and meats. Tney may used for canning during tho canning sea- -and as cookers during the entire year, i & type, these pressure cookers nru light ! conntriiMlnn nnd rnnomlcal of heat. wy are made entirely of alumlnumyand Scarry as high as thirty pounds steam ure. OPERATION OF llbT-WATER BATH pDlfncultles in the operation of hot-water n canning outfits may ue avoiueu n v lowing rules are observed: irt. Support Jars on a peruiiv.. . platform sufficiently to pernm . - Uon of water under and around the oad. Have water cover the tops of the I by at least one Inch. W. Begin counting the timo a ! water begins to boll vigorously. .Remove jar irora w i AAWamm mm aAn fUU UV' I L "" ' T myv - .J.'W.. Maml k lrt MM - T-v canner does not cover the tops of the Jars If the covers to tho Jars are adjusted too loosely, or if the platform In the bottom of the canner does not permit the water to clrculato underneath. Towels, excelsior, newspapers, hay and tho like (should not bt used regularly In tho bottoms of the hot water bath outfits. Use a slat or perforated platform. THE COST OF GAS Cost of gas Is sometimes urged as a rea son why canning Is not economical. The average gas stove burner consumes not more than flvo cents' worth per hour, and on this half n dozen quart Jars of product can bo sterilized. For Instance, two hours and n r,t or twelve cents' worth of gas will be to process nvo 10 ten jars oi string beans, according to capacity of out fit Fruits and most Vegetables 'take less than this total of gas. Costs per Jar aro thus very low. A quart of canned string beans or tomatoes sells at from thirty to forty cents. CONTAINERS Canning here described does not require tho use of a particular, typo of container. Glass Jars, crockery Jars (with nir-tlght tops) or tin cans of virtually any typo may be used If they are carefully cleaned and properly handled and sealed. When products aro canned for use In the home, glass Jars are perhaps preferable to tin cans. Jars may be scaled without tho use of special apparatus and may bo used over and over again if properly taken care of and If new rubbers aro used each time. Tin cans must bo thrown away after being opened. Tin cans havo certain advantages. They exclude light nnd so prevent bleach ing, and they may be handled, packed and transported more safely than glass Jars. When products are canned for sale, tin cans are preferable. TESTING JARS AND RUBBERS As results of canning depend absolutely on having Jars hermetically sealed, care must bo exercised In their selection to see that the lids and rubbers nt tightly. First' Screw top on Jar without rubber ring. Examine carefully and If there Is room for thumb nail between the top and the glass, the top is probably defective and should not be used. Second. Put rubber ring on Jar Place cap In position and screw down lightly. Pull rubber from position and release. If rub ber returns to position top Is defective. Third. See that rubber ring Ib sound. It should bear considerable tension and return to original shape on stretching nnd not be affected by bolng subjected to steam or boiling water. Tin cans may be cooled by plunging In cold water. When packed containers are thus cooled, they should be Btored In a cool dry place not exposed ta freezing tem perature. 'Most products packed In glass Jars will bleach or darken It exposed to light. It Is well to wrap Jars In paper. From time to time, especially during very, hot weather, Jars and cans ohould be ex amined, to, rnaktce?taln that here, are no( 9mmmrvrrjjmm-m,i--- too The;, hae s.ild so many lovely things nbout Norman 1 know he Is a flue boy, but It's good to know that other people think so, too t "Since ho silled I have been going oer his clothes In ono pocket of his coat I found a list of recruiting stations In other parts of the country If he was doubted here on his age, ho Intended to try else where "And he had the dentist go ovpr his teeth, too, and never told us He knew that ho must be In perfect physical condition I be lieve ho had planned to enlist from the day war was declared. HAD RECORDS CORRECTED "After be had gone Mr Lomas nnd I got talking, nnd I felt I would not be satlslled until Ills age was recorded correctly at Washington Wo wrote General Harnett, explaining tho situation, but making It per fectly clear that we did not want Norman discharged This is Ills letter of reply She opened her desk nnd took out an envelope' "My dear Mrs. Lomas- "Replying to our letter of July 0, re garding tho age of your son, Norman S. Lomas, will say that upon receipt of papers authenticating snnyi the records will bo corrected to correspond "I hae received a number of letters In which parents complained that their sons were under nge, nnd upon proof of their statements having been forwarded It has been necessary to discharge tho young men as undesirable, having fraudulently en listed by concealing their nge. "It Is, therefore, a distinct pleasure to me to receive a letter from a parent, evincing ns does yours, a truly patriotic spirit. "With best personal wlsbcs I am "Very sincerely yours, "GEORGE BARNETT, "Major General Commandant " "I don't think we have dono anj thing unusual," continued Mrs Lomas "Our boy h.-yl dedicated his life to his country Why should we claim him? I feel better now that we have notified Washington and Norman's record will bo clean. I didn't want a single smirch on It, nnd nlthough ho did tell a story to fight for his country, I don't think his country will hold that against him" Normnn has n- small brother, four years old, who confided that Norman has gone to shoot the Germans "with a gun bigger than mine." and ho produced a diminutive popgun. There aro four other children, all girls. Norman's grandfather fought In tho Civil War In tho Confederate army. His father's two uncles wero in tho Royal Marines of England, "So It's In tho blood," smiled Norman's mother.
