>EAS AND BEANS BEING CANNED Jnlawful Methods Being Used by Some in This In dustry Washington. D. C.—The officials In harge of the enforcement of the 'ood and Drugs Act are again calling ttention to the practice of soaking ried peas and dried lima beans until hey have the appearance of the fresh rtlcle and then canning them. Such roducts are then in many Instances old as the canned fresh article. Un ess soaked peas and lima beans are lainly labeled as "soaked" or in some ther manner so as to show their haracter, they are regarded as in iolation of the Foods and Drugs Act. There is no denial that soaked peas nd lima beans are a wholesome arti le of food. They are, however, ad littedly inferior in quality to the roducts prepared from the fresh egetables. Furthermore, the dried faf or beans may themselves be pur hased by the housewife quite cheaply nd while in the dried condition may e commercially and satisfactorily tored for future use. The housewife will also do her bit [i the conservation of our limited upply of tin plate by soaking and coking her own dried peas and lima cans in the kitchen and thereby re easing a proportional amount of tin ans for for use in the packing of erishable foods where they are reatly needed. Consumers are urged to read labels f canned peas and lima beans care ully in order to see whether or not hey are getting a fresh or a soaked ried product.

THURSDAY EVENING, WANT $1,110,000 FOR EDUCATION j Methodists in Big Drive After Funds •to Be Used in Schools and Colleges The Methodists of the Washington and Philadelphia Episcopal areas are in a gigantic drive for $1,110,000 for their institutions of higher learning. The three schools most concerned with the movement are Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pa.; Williams port Dickinson Seminary, at Wil liamsport, Pa., and the Wilmington Conference Academy, at Dover, Del aware. The board of education of the Methodist Episcopal Church is also in this campaign for endowment for the white schools of the South, and for a pension fund for emeritus pro fessors. This movement is in commemora tion of the four hundredth anniver sary of Protestantism in America, the one hundred and iiftieth anni versary of the founding of the Meth odist Episcopal Church in America, and the golden anniversary of the establishment of the Methodist Epis copal board of education. liaised S11),000,000 To date this nation-wide movement has added $19,009,000 to the perma nent funds of Methodist educational institutions. The plan is to add $16.- <IOO,OOO more by the fall of 191 S. The educational jubilee will close its activity officially at that time. The campaign for the strength ening of the Christian collegs had i its inception before the world war was thought a possibility. Ie began | when there was a certain degree of stagnation over a wide area of church activity. Nineteen denomina tions had representatives in a con ference to confer together as to the most vital step to take to give a new impulse to Christian work and service. Progressing Splendidly The decision of that important in terchureh conference was to the ef fect that the best step to take was to provide adequate endowment and equipment for the church schools. In accordance with that program the Methodist Episcopal Church decided to raise $35,000,000 for its institu tions of higher learning. The Pres byterian Church is well along with its unit of $30,000,000. The Bap tist Church is succeeding admirably in raising its quota of $20,000,000. The remainder of the nineteen rep resentative denominations are work ing hard to reach their goai. Headquarters Opened The central headquarters office has been opened in this city on the fourth floor of the Trustee building. To this office will come the reports from the area of Central Pennsylvania confer ence and outlying districts. And from this office will go out the campaign literature, news items, etc. Bishop Wilbur F. McDowell met in this city with Dr. Mor ris E. Swartz and the ministers of the Harrisburg district a few days ago to discuss the plans of campaign, and to perfect the local organizaUon. Similar conferences were held at Altoona "with Superintendents Simp son B. Evans and Emory M. Stevens, | of the Altoona and Juniata districts, j respectively, together with their min isters. The Sunbury and Williamsport districts also lined up for these con ferences. Superintendents J. B. Stein and Horace L. Jacobs took the leadership of the session of their re spective districts. Every district su perintendent is heartily in this great program of nation-wide Methodism. The work of organizing the sub district groups jf workers is now in progress and before many days the hosts of Methodism will concentrate their efforts upon the campaign for their colleges. Thus far in the drive for $35,000,- 000 not a single college, university, or seminary campaign has been al lowed to fail. It is expected that the present campaign will run true to form.
