>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.
