FARE ZONES ARE GIVEN AN AIRING Must Be Proved to Be Unfair Before the Commission Will Act on Them The Public Service Commission, in an opinion by Commissioner Milton J. Brecht, has dismissed the com plaint of the borough of Shenandoah against the Schuylkill Railways Com pany except in one item, in which it orders the company to replace ties within sixty days. The opinion con tains this descussion of a charge of six cents for fares: "While it is true that the testimony shows that on a number of prosperous railway lines the fare is only live ceftts per zone, there are roads where the zone rate is six cents. The rate question is too complex and includes too many ele ments of local color to be solved simply on the basis of comparing the rate on one road with that of an other. It may be true, as intimated bv counsel of complainants, that there is an inflated or fictitious value given by respondents to its property, but until such fact is disclosed by a proper valuation of the railway com pany's property, such an insinuation, however broadly made, will not serve any useful purpose in finding an an swer to the question at Issue." The commission in a general order makes corrections in the original costs figures in the decision in the case of the boroughs of Greensburg, Jeanette, Youngwood, Irwin and others against the Westmoreland Water Company, one of the big water cases decided this year. In other items to which the company objected the opinion says that the commission feels that its finds were just and reasonable. The opinion concludes: "The fair value of the respondent's property for rate-ma king purposes, making due allowance for the item omitted in the summary of original cost, is now found to be $1,125,000 and the allowance for fair return to the respondent is now found to be $78,750.

CANNING RULES ARE EXCHANG BY HOUSEWIVES YOU with hundreds of other housewives have successful methods of canning, preserving and drying foods and fruits which have either been handed down to you from generations of y°" r cestors or which you havo evolved. Ths feature of the HARRIS BURG TELEGRAPH is designed to help you exchange your ' do * 3 with other housewives 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 Certral Pensylvanla. By the methods various vegetables, soups, meats, rish and practically any other ' ood or combination ol' 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. PRESERVES The one-period, cold-pack method of canning wll be found especially helpful in eliminating the necessity of using paraffin or other wax tops. for jellies, jams and preserves. Threej receipts and directions for canning j jellies, jams and preserves by this method follow to illustrate the ap- j plication of the method. The use of | containers with screw tops is recom- j mended for these products. This will | make unnecessary the expense and j trouble of using paraffin and will I make the melting, molding and de- ; terioration of the top parts of the! packs less likely. Strawberry—Make a syrup of one, quart of water and eleven pounds of j sugar and cook it in an open kettle | until the usual temperature for ma king candies, jellies, etc., is reached. If a candy thermometer is used cook , the preserves until they reach a tem-1 perature of 265 degrees, F. A candy j thermometer registers 265 degrees, K.j when placed in the syrup. Add eight' pounds of berries to the syrup. Cook j very slowly, just at the boiling point. Stop the cooking when the thermo-1 meter registers, 219 degrees, F. andj pour into shallow pans to cool. Has-1 ten the cooling by pouring syrup ! over the berries. Skim while cook* ing. Fill into hot glass jars. Put the j rubber and cap in position, not tight. I Cap and tip if using enameled tin | cans. Sterilize for the length of time given below for the particular type of outfit used. Water bath 20 min. Water seal 15 min. Steam pressure (see note under cherry preserves). Remove the jars; tighten the cov ers; invert the jars to cool and test the joint. Wrap the jars in paper to j prevent bleaching. Cherry—Place 1 gallon of cold j water in a kettle and add 10 pounds | of pitted cherries. After bringing to > boiling point continue to boil slowly for 18 minutes. Add 12 pounds of granulated f-ugar and cook until the mixture has boiled violently for a few minute 3. If a candy thermometer is used does stop itching When you have something the matter with your skin, you want Resinol. It almost always stops itching and burning at once, and quickly clears away eruption and irritatk>n. And Resinol is no experiment —your friends and neighbors have known about it for years, and doctors prescribe it constantly. Soldbyalldruggists.
