TORING FOODS
IN THE HOME
epartment of Agriculture
Tells How tj Keep Veg
tables Safe
Washington, . Sept. 14. —Natural
orage of late vegetables in the
jme for use in fail and winter —
practice which is advisable every
ason —is especially desirable now
iat the country is at war, says the
nited States Department of Agri
ilture. Natural storage is the least
oublesome way of keeping food for
iture use, it is pointed out, and
ay bo practiced with little expense
most homes, either in the country
• in the city. Such storage is of
lief value to owners of homo gar
?ns, but when vegetables suitable
Ir storage may be purchased cheap
t it may be practiced profitably by
>nie other householders.
The principal vegetables which
lay be stored successfully are the
>ot, tuber, and bulb crops, such as
te maturing potatoes, carrots, par
lips, turnips, salsify, onions, etc.
ertain leaf and stalk crops such as
ibbage and celery, and a few other
roducts such as squashes, pump
lbs, etc., also may be stored na
irally.
Natural storage of most vegetables
iat may be kept may be in a cellar
ruler a dwelling, or under an out
iilding, in a special outdoor cellar,
r in banks or pits. A few products
ich as pumpkins and winter squash,
squiring dry, fairly warm storage,
ay be kept in unused rooms or
osets, and a lew products may be
;pt in attics.
Cellar Storage Room
If a cellar under a dwelling or out
iilding is clean, cool, and well-ven
lated it may be used for storage
ithout alteration. Many cellars,
owever, are not well suited for
oring vegetables because of poor
sulation or lack of ventilation,
id those containing a furnace for
eating usually are too warm and
•y. It is often possible to partition
1' a room either in one corner or at
le end of such a cellar, where the
sniperature may be controlled by
leans of outside windows.
Outdoor storage cellars possess all
le advantages of the storage room
i the basement and are superior in
iany respects. It is possible to keep
ich a cellar cool and quickly re
lice the temperature of the stored
roducts by opening the door dur
ig the night and closing it in the
lorning before the air becomes
arm. In regions of mild winters
ic outdoor cellars may be construct
-1 almost entirely above ground of
ood or other available materials,
traw or dirt may be thrown upon
le roof as insulation during es
ecially cold periods. In regions of
svere freezing th most popular
pe of storage cellar is built large
• underground and the roof has a
eop covering of straw and earth,
lanure, etc. Such cellars may be
[instructed of wood, concrete, stone,
r brick.
Storage in I'its or Jianks
Storage in outdoor banks or pits
i the most primitive and least ex
ensive method of keeping many
£>getables and is fairly satisfactory
here the ground is well-drained,
his method does not compare in
anve.nience, however, with storage
i cellars since in periods of bad
eather the vegetables are often
eccssible with difficulty. The con
duction of banks is begun by mak
ig an excavation six or eight inches
eep in a well-drained location and
ning it with straw, leaves, or sim
ar material. The vegetables (usu
lly root crops) are placed on this
ttor . i a conical pile. The sides and
jp are then covered with straw and
lives and this with two or three
iches of earth. As winter ap
roaches the earth covering should
e increased, depending on the se
erity of the winters in the locality,
mall pits containing but a few
ushels of vegetables will receive
jfilcient ventilation if the straw be
iveen the vegetables and the earth
ovei;ing is allowed to extend through
tie latter to the top 'of the pile,
his exposed straw should be cov
red with a board or a piece of tin
eld in place by a stone as a pro-
H'tion from rain. In larger pits ven
dition may be secured by placing
wo or three pieces of rjugh boards
i stakes up through the center of
ie pile of vegetables so that a flue is
jrmed. This flue should be capped
y an inverted trough formed by two
ieces of board nailed together at
ght angles. Where such banks are
sed the best practice is to construct
number of small ones so that a
ufticlent quantity of vegetables to
ist a few days can be obtained by
pening each pit. The method may
e modified by placing the vegetables
1 a long ridge rather than in coni
al piles with earth dividing the
klge into small sections. A section
lay then bo conveniently opened
r ithout disturbing trie remainder of
ie stored vegetables.
Most vegetables suitable for stor
ge should not be harvested and
lored until cool weather arrives or
bout the time of the iirst killing
:ost. However, Irish potatoes should
e harvested as soon as they teach
laturity, and if basement or outdoor
ellar storage is available, they
hould be stored immediately. They
hould not be stored in banks or
its until the weather gets cool,
'nions should be put in storage as
jon as they are matured and thor
ughl.v cured or dried.
Detailed directions for preparing
1c several types of storages and for
mulling the various vegetables
liich may be stored are given in a
scent bulletin, "Home Storage of
egetables," recently published by
ie United States Dpeartment of
griculture. Copies this bulletin
lay be obtained free by application

SWEDES SENT
SPY REPORTS
FROM MEXICO
Stockholiu Got Tip When
Pershing's Transports Left
For France
Washington, Sept. 14. Swedish-
German duplicity, which has threat
ened to embroil Argentina and Ger
many, was exposed by the State De
partment to-day as working its in
imical hand in Mexico.
The Swedish charge d'affaires in
Mexico City gave to the German min
ister there information from the
allied countries. He transmitted
messages for the German minister
through the Swedish foreign office to
Berlin.
So extensive and so valuable were
his services up to March, 1916, that
Herr von Eckhardt, the German min
ister, recommended that the kaiser
bestow upon Hprr Folke Cronholm,
the Swedish charge, an imperial Ger
man decoration, its award to be kept
secret until after the war.
Asked for Rcwur<l
A copy of the letter recounting
these services and making this rec
ommendation from Von Eckhardt to
the German chancellor was made
public, by Secretary of State Lansing
to-day. The letter was dated March
8, 1916.
At the same time this announce
ment was made the Secretary of
State gave out a report from Ira
Nelson Morris, American minister at
Stockholm. Mr. Morris declares that
while the Swedish foreign office was
transmitting German messages in
German code for the German diplo
mats. it was requiring Mr. Morris to
file his messages to Constantinople
via the Swedish foreign office in
French.
The relation in the Mexico City
letter of this further proof of Swed
ish pro-Germanism can be met, ac
cording to opinion here, only by the
dismissal from Swedish service of
the guilty parties, a break in rela
tions between Sweden and Germany
and a profound apology to the United
States and the other allies.
United States Sufferer
The United States was sinned
against in the Mexican transaction in
much the same way as was Great
Britain in Argentina.
The German messages were trans
mitted over the cable and telegraph
lines of Europe under the guarantee
of the Swedish diplomats, just as
were the Luxburg dispatches sent
over the British cables.
Neither Von Eckhardt nor Cron
holm are now in Mexico, but the
possibility that through them leaked
the news of the sailing of Pershing's
transports and other military news
has shocked the government and the
allied diplomatic corps.

HARRIBBURG CgSfPR? TELEGRAPH
j HAVEYOUIMAGINATION?
By Beatrice Fairfax
Does your imagination bring you
joy or pain? You are free to in
\ ent for yourselves ogres and goblins
—or good fairies. Which do you
choose to summon?
None of the things we dread is?
as bad as our prefervid Imaginations
make them. None of our pet horrors
ever torture us as we thought they
would. We use ourselves up and
wear ourselves out. fearing some
situation which lurks behind the
black curtain of the future. Then we
go draw the curtain, and behold!
there is light on the other side and
our terror is a beneficent and kindly
ghost.
Have you dreaded losing your job?
Well, you lost it and walked the
streets disconsolately looking for
work for several weeks. At the end
of tht time you got a far better po
sition than the one you had so feared
losing.
}f you have gone through the ex
perience of learning to ride, you
know that if you were at first afraid
ot your mount the horse seemed al
most psychologically aware of it
and was the barder to handle. With
courage, it was fairly easy to keep
your seat. The instructor told you
that you were getting "a good wrist"
and a splendid "knee grip." But
you knew that it was more than that
—you had mastered your mount,
and he knew it and acknowledged it
by responding to your will.
Your own fears are exactly like
that. Dkirectly you cease dreading
them, they take orders from you!
When terror is permitted to mas
ter you it rides you mercilessly. But
directly you conquer it, the demand
becomes yours.
Approach your fear, look at it
from all sides, force yourself to ex
amine it calmly—it isn't real, is it?
What you have been afraid of js
nothing actual, nothing tangible, but
just a figment of your own imagina
tion. And shall this conquer you?
But why bother with it at all?
Why not invent for yourself radiant
and happy imaginings? You can,
you know.
"As a man thlnketh in his heart,
so is he." Never was anything more
deeply beautiful and true than those
lines. We come in the end to be a
little like our dreams. Beautiful
aspirations and equisite hopes leave
their mark on every one just as ugly
ones do.
Why should anyone Invent terror
and horror for himself when he is
perfectly free to invent beautiful
things?
Not very many of us could think
of the exquisite fancies which Barrie
makes real for us in his marvelous
fairy-tale plays. But all of us are
perfectly capable of making a start
in the direction of thinking beauti
ful thoughts.
We have a way of training our
selves via suspicion and gossip and
ugly innuendo to imagine evil of
our neighbors if they make the
tiniest move in the direction whioli
is not absolutely conventional and
not easily explicable. Fear, scandal,
scorn and hate are all poisonous
emotions which react on the indi
vidual who sets them free. L.ong
ago I heard a story of a gentle old
lady who spoke kindly of every one.
One of her friends said to her, "My
dear, I believe you would think of
something good to say of Satan him
self."
Half deprecatlnjfly and far too
quickly to be the result of a desire
to be clever or to pose, the old lady
replied: "well, he's really awfully
energetic, you know,"
An attitude like that is not a gift
of the fairies or some magic result
of good fortune; It comes from
keeping your attitude toward things
clean and sweet and wholesome.
It is due to training your heart in
kindness and to using' your imagi
nation to cultivate and house
pleasant thoughts.
It is perfectly possible to make
up a dream world for yourself in
which everything shall be pleasant
and Joyous. Vision is the quality
which makes men achieve great
things. Without vision America
would never have been discovered.
The telegraph and the telephone
and the steam engine are all dreams
come true.
If you have not the magnificent
gift of imagination which will fire
you to invent a cotton gin or spur
you to travel in search of the mouth
of an Amazon River, at least you
have imagination enough to look
out at the black clouds of a storm
tossed day and to feel back of them
the blue of a kindly sky and the
golden sunlight.
You know that the tiniest bud
holds the possibility of an apple
blossom and that apple blossoms
promise luscious fruit. It is easy
enough to imagine what you have
seen. The trick lies in imagining
the unknown. And whether you
imagine it grim and dour and
threatening or beautiful and gentle
and kind, is for you yourself to de
cide. ,
Your imagination lies absolutely
under your control unless you wil
fully choose to let it run away with
you. Even when you are dreaming
that you need force and action to
make them come true.
