Since the European war begun we have been compelled
to advance prices on a number of chemicals and imported
goods. The price of drugs now is in utter chaos and no

be raised on a single item unless forced to do so by reason
of increased cost.

Belgium’s Food
Supply Is Low
London, Sept 10, 4:30 a. m.—A Bel
gian business man, just arrived in
London, says food already is very
scarce in Brussels.
“Only about one person In a hun
dred can afford eggs and milk,” he.
said. “People who are rich enough to
have milk twice weekly, are consider
ed very lucky. The Germans have di
rected the surburb of St.Giliies to sup
ply the military 400 bottles of wine
daily. , Brussels proper has to con
tribute daily 70,000 pounds of bread,
and the suburb of Andergheim sup
plies 40,000 pounds of meat.”—Macon

Puts a Price
on Rats’ Tails
(From the Philadelphia Press.)
An appropriation of $10,000 for
th-> extermination of rats, potential
carriers of »the bubonic plague, was
promised the department of public
health and charities by John P. Con
elly, chairman of the iinancq commit
tee of council, after n conference with
Dr. llarte, director of the depart
ment.
As a result Dr. Harte announced
that the campaign against the rats
would be started in a few days and
that a bounty would be paid on rat
tails, probably 5 cents a tail. Dr.
Harte said he plans to pay a high
price for any rat found to be infected
with plague germs .
What to Eat
When its Hot
FRENCH AMBULANCE DRIVEN BY MOTOR
Photo copyright 1*14. by American Preau Association.
The food eaten in summer should
be of the kind which requires the
least energy to digest, for energy
makes heat in the body as elsewhere.
If you would be as cool and com
fortable us possible, even in the hot
test weather, eat lightly of simple
foods. Never eat when tired and hot.
If possible, make your heaviest meal
at night when the day’s toil is over
and there is comparative coolness.
Eat plenty of juicy fruits, which
have a refrigerating effect on the
blood. Particularly good during hot
weather are grapes, oranges, limes
and lemons (in limeade or lemonade),
cantaloups, watermelon, pears. But
be careful that the fruit is neither
unripe or overripe.
Leafy or fibrous vegetables, such
as tomatoes, celery, spinach, aspara
gus, rhubarb, lettuce, beets and onions
all have the same cooling effect. For
the same purpose nothing is better
than the green salad*—endive, chic
ory, romaine, watercress and all tne
rest.
Other food that should be on every
table when the mercury is high in
clude thin soups, or better cold bouil
lon—fresh fish or fowl, roasted or
broiled beef, mutton or lamb (in mod
eration); eggs, soft boiled, scrambled
or lightly fried; simple desserts or
geletine, custard, sherberts and ice
cream.
Things which should be avoided ore
thick soups, canned meats, spices and
condiments, nuts, beans, oils, cheese,
bunanas, dates, preserves and can
dies. Candies are particularly heat
ing because, like coal, they consist
largely of carbon.
'Hot drinks, most kinds of soda foun
tain beverages and alcholic drings do
not quench the thirst. Drink plenty
of pure, not too cold water, freely at
meals and copiiously between meals.
—Macon NewR.
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His fare is like the tan;
His brow is wet witn honest sweat,
He earns whate’er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You crii hear him swing his heavy
sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a soxton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from
school
Look in ut the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks i that
fly
Like chaf from a threshing floor,
He goes on Sunday to the church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He hears his daughter’s voice,
Singing in the village choir ?
And it makes his heart rejoice.
It sounds to him like her mother’s
voice,
He needs must think of her once more,
How in the grave Rhe lies;
And with his hard, rough hands he
wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
Toiling—rejoicing—sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some tnsk begun,
Each evening sees its close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a night’s repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy
friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning and thought.
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Windfall Apples
May Be Canned
Windfall apples, which are often
left on the ground to rot, may be
made to serve a useful purpose by the
economical housewife. A little fore
thought and labor at this time of
the year spent on a despised product
of the orchard may supply the winter
table with many an appetizing and
wholesome dish which otherwise
would either be lacking or supplied at
a higher cost.
Windfall apples may be canned
whole and used as a breakfast dish,
for dessert, salads, or baked. There
will be many which are too much
marred for canning whole. In this
case, the marred places may be re
moved and the apples sliced and can
ned for either pie filling or for apple
sauce. Following are the recipes for
thus taking care of windfall apples:
Whole Windfall Apples Canned.
Select firm, not overripe apples. A
great difference in the canned pro
ducts will be noted in the different
varieties of apples. Thjs recipe is
intended for firm and preferably tart
varieties. Some varieties will require
less time and some more.
Remove blemishes, cut ou. core.
Blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water;
plunge in cold water. Pack in tin
cans or glass pars and add just a
little very thin sirup. Put on rubber
and top and partially tighten. (Cap
and tip tins.) Sterilize 20 minutes In
hot-water bath, 15 minutes in water
seal, 10 minutes in steam-pressure
outfit, or 6 minutes in pressure cook
er. Remove jars, tighten covers, and
invert to cool.
Apples canned in this way make a
product that is generally wasted av
ailable for apple salads, dumplings,
breakfast apple didhes, apple pot-
pies, and baked apples.
Windfall Apples for Pie Filling.
Peel and core; slice; scald 2 minutes
in boiling water; plunge in cold wa
ter; pack in glass or tin, and add
about 1 teacupful of hot, thin sirup to
each quart; put on rubber and top,
partially tighten (cap and tip tins);
sterilize 16 minutes in hot-water bath,
12 minutes in water seal outfit, 10
minutes under 5 pounds of steam, or
4 minutes in pressure cooker; remove
jars, tighten cover, invert to cool.
This is a good method of utilizing the
good portions of partially decayed
P &ote.—The thin sirup mentioned hi
these recipes is made as follows: One
and one half cups of sugar to 1 cup
of water, brought to boiling.
Boy Scouts to Can Windfall Apples.
The Boy Scouts of Cortland, N. Y.
have rented an entire apple orchard
and are planning to market the good
fruit anil to can all the windfall ap
ples in the manner described above.
The orchard, which is being rented for
a period of 3 years, contains 165 trees,
most of them in good bearing. Un-

A REVISED VERSION.
One predicts a future for the boy
who wrote the following narrative
about Elijah:
“There was a man named Elijah.
He had some bears and he lived in a
cave. Some boys tormented him. He
said: ‘If you keep on throwing stones
at me, 111 turn the bears on you, and
they’ll eat you up.’ And they did and
he did and the bears did.”—Ex.

this newspaper.
We will print from time to

in them.
This may help to shed some
light on what the people ac
tually think is needed to boom
our community.
der the leadership of one of the de
partment’s agents and the local
scout master, the boys have pledged
themselves to prune, spray, and cul
tivate the orchard; to grade, crate,
and find a market for all fresh apples,
and to save all possible waste by can
ning the windfalls so that the enter
prise will yield maximum returns.
The boys are erecting a temporary
building as headquarters for the
equipment, where they may also
change clothing, and grade, pack, and
crate the fruit.
