A SINGLE CHANGE
* N PRESIDENT'S CABINE
'WITH POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF
§ GORY—M'ADOO AND HOUS
.~ STON WILL NOT RETIRE.
'." ® v aled
~ SWashington, Dec. 12.—Every mem
‘b@r of President Wilson's cabinent
¥ the possible exception of Attor-
n ey General Gregory, is expected to
r%a!n in office after March 4, when
the president’s second term begins. It
vas learned definitely today that all
of.them have been or will be asked to
keep their posts.
“Reports concerning possible resig
nations have centered chiefly around
Secrataries McAdoo, Rouston and Ba
ker and the attorney general. It has
been taken for granted that Postmas
ter-General Burieson and Secretaries
Lansin, Daniels and Wilson would re
main, and indefinite rumors that Secre
tary Redfield might wish to retire to
private business were denied some
time ago.
‘Secretary McAdoo personally denied
that lLie had any intention of resigning.
The reports in his case have been most
persistent.
‘Regarding Mr. Houston, it became
known that the officials of Washing
ton university at St. Louis have ex
tended his leave of absence as chan
cq‘lor of that institution so that he
can continue as head of the depart
ment of agriculture. Because of the
ingestigations into the high cost of
living the other important work under
taken by Secretary Houston, the pres
ident is known to consider his contin
ued service in the cabinet as highly
desirable.
Although Sccretary Baker has been
crbdited with a desire to leave the
cabinet, if is learned that in all like
likood he will remain. It is under
stood, however, that there is a possi
bility that he may be shifted to the
d[rar:ment of justice if Mr. Gregory
ipsists on resigning, and that Vance C.
M¢Cormick, chairman of the demo
cratic national committee, may be
placed in charge of the wart depart
ment.
in the aftorney general's case th?
reperts about his intention to resign
have been very circumstantial and ar?
geénerally accepted by officials as true,
although he has given no indication
of his intentions. The president has of
fered Mr. Gregory a seat on the su
preme court once, and should an
other vacancy occur during the idmin
istration it is thought probable he
would be seriously considered again.
EFFORTS TO SAVE |
“ ALL OIL WELLS‘
A
London, Dec. 12.—The Times’ corre ‘
s[rndent at Roumania headquarters.
writing under date of December &,
confirms earlier though less precise re
pqrts that the Roumanians have tak-|
e mweasurcs to prevent the central
pd}vers from utilizing the oil wells in |
the captured territory. The correspon- |
dent writes:
“During the last week all wells, re
fineries, tanks and other installations
in the Prahova valley have been dc
s}oyed in a way which renders the
production of oil in this rich petroli- |
ferous region impossible. Great de-.
ports of henzine were burned. At
‘Mgrni, the most important oil field
irL?:_ Roumania from the point of view
of production, the destruction was
cqpplete."

CANNING MEAT
ON THE FARM
J. A. Johnson.
In order to insure proper curing,
meat must be sufficiently cooled hefore
placing in cure. In warm weather care
must be exercised to keep it from be
coming tainted, once tainted it cannot
he brought back to its previous con
diticn. When butchering during warm
weather it may be necessary to use
ice. lece may bhe broken into pieces
of about one pound each and packed
around and between the cuts of meat,
When thoroughly cooled to the bhone,
the meat is ready to place in cure.
o Curing in Brine. ¢
Obtain a receptacle large enough to
easily contain the meats to be cured,
One or more hardwood barrels or hogs
heads carefully scrubbed with boiling
water do very well for the purpose.
Large earthenware jars are good, Pack
the large cuts at bottom, as closely ag
yossible. Prepare the following brine:
For each 100-pounds of meat take §
sounds of salt; 4 pounds of brown su
zar or molasses; 3 ounces salt-petre
Put in four gallons of water that has
neen boiled and allowed to cool. Cover
‘he meat with this brine and place
1 weight on top to keep all the pieces
sgvered. If the quantity of brine be
.omes reduced by leaking or evapora
ion make more brine as described.
After ‘the meat has been in cure 10
lays or two weeks, take the pieces out
wmd replace in different order to give
e brine a chance to penatrate the
spots where the pieces lay together.
Wor large hams or shoulders it may be
xell to inject some of the brine into
he deeper parts by means of a large
syringe, The meats should be kept
ander observation and the brine ex
wmined every few days to note wheth
v it becomes sour or stringy. If it
lceg, the brine must be removed and |
yiled, or replaced by fresh brine, |
The length of time necessary to cure
neat depends largely on the size of
he ents. BBacon cures in 30 to 40 days,
wams and shoulders (8 to 15 pounds)
15 {o 60 days, larger pieces in propor
ion. After the meat has lain in brine
‘or sufficient time, if mild cure is de
sired, lay for several hours in water
o draw out some of the salt. It is |
hen ready to be smoked. “
OTE— s
Tlank the meat well above a slow |
ire so that it will not become heated.
lardwood, especially hickory, is pre
‘erred for smoking. Sawdust, of hard-‘
wood, mgy be used. Do not use the
‘liquid smoke** which is offered on the
narket. It gives meat inferior uppear-‘
ince, color and odor and does not pen
strate like smoke. I
The use of borax, boracic acid, for-|
naldehyde, salicylic acid and oth(-r‘
‘hemicals for preserving purposes, is
‘orbidden by law in many states. The
‘oderal meat inspection law prohibits
meats that are cured, prepared or
yacked in any of these substances be
‘ng sold or transported in interstate
irade. Food experts agree as to the
warmfulness of such chemicals when
Ised on human food. Salt, sugar, salt-
Jetre, spices, wood smoke and vinegar
are sufficient for the proper curing and
sreserving of all kinds of meats, —Bak.
‘ng soda is sometimes used as an aid
in preventing Dbrine from souring.
Sheuld the weather be warm it may
e well to add a small amount. of it.
Meat cured by the smoking method
‘s more popular than that cured in
wmy other way. It is superior in ap
carance, quality, and flavor and
hrings better prices on the market.
Dry Curing.
This method is in common use and
onsists of curing meats in salt alone.
The following mixture is an improve
ment over salt-alone method:
Take salt, b pounds; granulated su
aar, 2 pounds; salt-petre, 2 ounces, for
oach 100 pounds of meat. Mix thor
waghly and rub the meat every three
days with a third of the mixture. It is
best to have the meat packed in a
harrel or tight box. 1t is well also to
have to receptacles so that the meats
may be transferred from one to the
other at each rubbing. Afer the last
lAT'I'ORNEYS FOR DEFENSE SAY
l THEY PLAN TO BE READY THAT
{ DATE.
I Americus, Dec. 12—Monday, Dec.
118, was conditionally assigned this
|nmrning by Judge %Z. A. Littlejohn for
| the beginning of the trial of the first
‘(lf»fr,-ndam charged with the murder of
| Walter H. Wade. Attorneys for the
defense stated they expected to he
ready by then, as witnesses were he
ing subponeaed, but that it was not
| certain.
I Judge Littlejohn stated that any ob
jection to next Monday must be made
known Friday. The main interest in
the Wade case has now turned to the
counsel being lined up on each side
’givmg verification to the belief that
the trials will be the most spectacular
ever ceen in this section,
Frank Hooper of Atlanta, formerly
solicior general of this circuit, was an
upun«-ml as counsel for the defense
this morning, having L. J. Blalock,
W. P. Wallis and Hollis Fort asso-|
ciated for the two Chapmans and two
Johnsons. It is reported that Attor
neys Cannon and Lawson of Abbeville
have been secured by H. A. Harp,
John Isthridge has J. B. D. Shipp and
J. 1. Sheppard o fthis city Clara Oli
ver better known as “Little Bit” is
without counsel thus far, -
New angles in the case likely to
hring more arrests are reported to
day.
“FILOATING SALOONS”
WORRY BRUNSWICK
" Brunswick, Dec. 12.—Local police
authorities now have a phase of the
prohibition violations to guard against
and if the practice of bringing whis
ky into Brunswick from Fernandina
via boats continues, it may be neces
sary for the city or county to appoint
special officers to guard the river
front. A
A regular floating saloon was ar
rested yesterday, when Jake Atkinson,
a well known local negro, was joiled,
charged with bringing a hoats load of
whisky to Brunswick from Farnandi
na, and only a short time ago the of
ficers seized hundreds of pint and half
pint bottles of whsky from a lareg
hoat which was moored right at the
principal wharf of the city, selling
whisky at retail and disposing of it at
such a rapid rate that the crowds on
{he wharf attracted the attention of
the officers.
It is now understood that there are
quite a large numbr of these small
motor boats engaged in the business
and making regular trips to Fernandi
na for the purpose of bringing whisky
sver to Brunswick by the wholesale. It
is only a four or five hour run from
this city to the little Florida seaport
and o boat can easily make the round
trip 'n” a day. Customers of these
“hooze” hoats are told by the owners
where they will land upon their re
turn to the city, and large customers
are on hand to receive their supply.
.An-eifert is now on foot to put a stop
{o this class of whisky selling and oth
or atrests will probably follow shortly.
