Send your favorite receipts and methods to the editor and they will be placed before thousands of other house wives. In this way they can be placed before the public and do the maximum amount of good. PRESERVING CANNING DRYING without previous experience, and with no other equipment than thai to be found in almost every home, anyone, adult or child should be able to can food satisfactorily by the methods which follow. They are a combination of the best methods found by the Gov ernment and the housewives of Central Pensylvania. By the methods various vegetables, soups, meats, fish and practically any other food or combination of foods can be canned, as well as fruits and tomatoes, the products most commonly canned. The simple, general rules necessary for successful canning, by the one period, cold pack methods will be given. In all home canning it should be born in mind that when hermetic ally sealed containers are difficult to obtain, food products which cannot be preserved easily in other ways should be given preference. Ths would make inadvisable in most cases at times like the present, the canning of such products as hominy, dried beans, potatoes and similar foods. Root and tuber vegetables, such carrots, parsnips, salsify, beets, turnips and sweet potatoes— Grade for size, color and degree bf ripeness. Wash thoroughly, use vegetable brush. Scald or blanch in hot water sufficiently to loosen the slcin. Dip quickly into cold water. Scrape or pare to remove skin. Pack whole vegetables, slices or cross-sec tion pieces in hot glass jars or tin cans. Add boiling water until full. Add level teaspoonful salt to quart Place rubbers and tops of jars in position; partially seal, not tight. Cap and tip tin cans completely. Sterilize for the length of time given below for the particular type of out fit used: Water bath 90 min. A Coal Famine Possible Critics of the coal business make the statement that there is plenty of coal in the country. There is enough for all. Where is it? The answer is—"ln the ground." It will do you no good, Mr. Coal Consumer, un less it is mined. There is a labor shortage at the mines from* forty to fifty per cent. The car shortage is not improving. There are no more cars now than in the spring. Many cars now in use must soon be withdrawn to move war supplies. The time of year is coming fast when cold weather will cripple engines and delay transporta tion. The best time of the year to catch up with coal production is April, May, June and July and only a few days in these four months are left. Neverthe less there is yet a severe shortage. Now is the time to engage your supply before the fall and winter demands make itself felt. A coal famine appears due this winter just as sure as water runs and grass grows United Ice & Coal Co.

Ten pounds steam pressure. .40 min. Remove jars from canner; tighten covers; invert to cool and test joints. Wrap and paper and store. To Prevent Fading of Beets Small beets that run forty to the quart are the most suitable size for first-class packs. The older the beet the more chance there is for loss of color. When preparing the beet, leave on 1 inch of the stem and all of the tail while blanching. Blanch not more than 5 minutes and cold dip. The skin should be scraped from the beet, not peeled. Beets should bo packed whole, if possible. .Well-canned beets will show a slight loss of color when removed from the oanner, but will brighten up in a few days. Greens or Poilierbs.—A large num ber of cultivated and wild greens are edible, and if canned by this method will make a succulent and valuable food for the winter and spring months. Among the cultivated greens are Swiss chard, kale, Chi nese cabbage leaves, upland cress, French endive, cabbage sprouts, tur nip tops, young, tender New Zealand spinach, beet tops, dandelion, young, tender dasheen sprouts, native mus tard. Russian mustard, collards and tender rape leaves. Among the wild greens are pepper cress, lamb's quar ter, sour dock, smartweed. sprouts, purslae (or "pulsey"), pokeweed sprouts, dandelion, marsh marigold, wild mustard and milkweed (tender sprouts and young leaves). Can greens the day they are picked. Wash clean, sort thoroughly, allowing ho foreign weed leaves or other vegetable matter to remain.- Rid the greens of all sand, dirt, dry and decayed or diseased leaves. Place the greens in a crate or cheese cloth and blanch in live steam either in an improvised homemade steamer or regular commercial steamer for 1 5 minutes. Remove the greens and plunge quickly Into cold water. Place or. the table and cut into convenient lengths. Pack tight in hot jars or tin cans. Add hot water to fill the container and season to taste. The prdouct will be slightly improved if a few strips of boiled bacon or chipped beef are added. A little olive oil Im proves the flavor. If using glass jars, place rubbers and tops In position; partially seal. If using tin cans, cap find tip completely.

Lieutenant Souders Preparing For Muster Into Federal Service LIEUT. HARRY A. SOUDERS First Lieutenant Harry A. Souders this morning began getting his men in shape for the inspection and muster this evening. As soon as the men are mustered and outfitted it is expected they will be sent to Mt. Gretna for training. Lieutenant Souders enlisted in Com pany A. of the signal corps in 1909, serving six years. Two weeks ago he started to organize ammunition supply company and in a short time had seecured the full quota. This morning he reported that he was ex ceptionally well satisfied with the per sonnel of the company as he had been able to enlist some of the most prom inent young men of the city for that branch of the service. He received his commission July 24 and immediately began preparations to be ready for service at a moment's call. Lieutenant Souders was born in Chambersburg and has been connected with the advertising department of The HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH for several years. Elect Harrisburger Delegate to Session William Strouse, of the New Store of William Strouse. was elected as a delegate to the national convention of clothiers, to represent the Penn sylvania State Retail Clothiers Asso ciation, which closed its annual ses sion at Reading yesterday. The na tional meeting will be held in Sep tember 4. During the state conven tion sessions Mr. Strouse made a re port on the meeting of the War Economy Commission at Washington, urging merchants to aid in this work. RECRUIT LEAVES TRAINING CAMP WITHOUT PERMISSION Not knowing that a soldier must have permission from the command ing officer before he could leave the training camp at Gettysburg, a young rookie, narrowly escaped be ing classed as a deserter when he landed in this city Tuesday. Upon his arrival here he applied at the police station for transportation to Philadelphia. The police authorities sent him to the office of the Asso ciated Aids Society, where the re cruit told his story to John Yates, secretary. The object of his trip was to get married, so he said. Mr. Yates also learned that he had no permission to leave camp and told him of his wrongdoing. The soldier was sent to a nearby restaurant for dinner while Mr. Yates telephoned to the officer at the training camp. He received the consent from the com mander that he would overlook the incident when th 6 soldier returned to camp. FIRST THREE MOONLIOUTERS The •moonlight school" did not spring out of a theory, it grew out of a human need. It was established through the appeal of the illiterates themselves. When it started, it was assured patronage of three: the mother, whose daughter "had gone out West;" the middle-aged man, who "would give twenty years of his life if he could read and write," and the boy, who would "forget his ballads before anybody come along to set 'em down." These spoke for the world of illiterate mothers and men 'and song-inspired lads, when they told of the shame and burden of illiteracy, and expressed a burning desire to read and write. Their appeal was answered by opening at night the doors of the schools all over the county, where volunteer teachers not only greeted them with welcoming smiles, but went out after them and brought them in. A few were expected, but twelve hundred came. Not all of these were illiterates. Some were semi-illiterates and some were half-educated folk, de siring better things. They learned amazingly—first to write their names of course. This was easy of accom plishment. It was usually learned th first evening. Then to write their own letters and to read the Bible and the newspaper seemed their chief aspirations.—Cora Wilson Stewart, in The Christian. Herald. HAJtRISBURG TELEGRAPH Decide to Postpone Draft Jubilee Event Ulitil Later in Year At the meeting held last night- In the Courthouse for the purpose of arranging for a draft jubilee cele bration in honor of the city's drafted men it was decided to postpone the demonstration until September or the latter part of next month. Ow ing to the present heat wave and the near departure of the local guard units for Southern quarters, it was decided to hold the celebration later In the year. Jonas K. Reist is president of the general committee and Colonel Henry C. Demming chairman of the parade committee. The following men com pose the parado committee: Captain George W. Rhoads.

F. Harm, Charles A. Jefferies and A. L. Patton. The next meeting will be held at the call of Colonel Dem ming.

I'IPE BENDING OFFICIALS NOT AFTER AEROPLANE CONTRACTS Officials of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works have de cllned to make an effort to secure any of the big contracts for the con struction of aeroplanes. The con tracts are now being let by the War Department. The local works have contracts for shells that are expected to keep them busy for at least a year p.nd officials point out that installa tion of machinery for the building of aeroplanes would be costly and con time time that should be spent in the making of shells. Motion Picture Censors Have Power of Recall i The State Board of Censors for moving pictures has authority "to recall an approval of a film unless rights have been acquired or have intervened, which a recall would dis turb" according to an opinion givan to-day to Frank P. Shattuck, chair man of the State Board, by Joseph L. Kun, deputy attorney general. The opinion says that while the act does not expressily authorize a recall "the intent is clear to constitute the board a bulwark of the people against sacrilegious, indecent and immoral motion pictures" and says that if power is given to recall a disap proval there is certainly power to re call an approval. "It may err in the one instance as well as in the other and the harm which may ensue an approval may be infinitely greater than that which would result from an erroneous disapproval. In the first case the individual may be harmed, but in the latter instance it is the public that would suffer." Conscription of Aliens Has Dangerous Point Washington. D. C., July 26. I Agreements with allied governments tor drafting their subjects in this j country were discussed to-day by Senators Stone and McCumber with I Acting Secretary Polk, of the State I' Department. It was pointed out that such con- | scription might necessitate reciprocal I conscription among Americans living) JULY 26, 1917 lr. allied countries and would es tablish a precedent which might be dangerous. Italy, Serbia and Japan have special treaties on the subject which would have to be amended. Discuss Annexation at Council Meeting The subject of annexing Riverside to Harrisburg was discussed last evening at the informal conference of the city commissioners but at the close of the controversy, the matter was no nearer a solution than it had been laßt fall. The owners of a private sewer in Riverside held to the demand for SIO,OOO for the sewer, to be paid by the city, and this seems to be all that is preventing the little neighborhood from becoming a part of the capital city. Commis sioners say they will take up the subject again at an early date. U. S. Marksmanship Chsef Tells How to Shoot a Rifle To begin with, one must familiar ize himself with the nomenclature and care of the rifle. And the value of the various drills cannot be too strongly emphasized. By means of them the fundamental principles of shooting may be learned before a shot is fired. Bad shooting arises PEA COAL J. B. Montgomery Third and Chestnut Both Phones from not properly supporting and correctly aiming at the moment of discharge. The chief of these causes Is the deflection given to the rifle when it is discharged. This means that the boy has caused the rifle to be swerved from Its original position after aim. Instead of squeezing the trigger, the boy may Jerk It while firing, due to a cramped position of the body. The trigger should be squeezed, not pulled, the hand being closed upon itself as a sponge is squeezed, the forefinger sharing In this movement. The forefinger should be placed as far around the trigger as to press it with the second joint. By prac-j tice one is able to judge what addi tional pressure Is required for its discharge.—By Major E. V. Book miller, Director of Civilian Marks manship, War Department. The American Boy. f Pipe Bending Officials Deny Robbery of $5,000 Peports that the office of the Har hisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works had been robbed of 5,000 in cash and that special detectives were already at work on the case were denied to-day by W.
