The Big Duluth. Accurate Directions For Preserv ing Strawberries—Applicable to Household Conditions. Specialists in commercial handling and preserving of fruits in the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, have worked out, the following accurate directions (which may be applied also to house hold conditions) for preser%ring straw berries so that just enough sirup of the pr *r consistency can be made in advr.r.ce. With this amount of sirup the berii'es can be packed at tractively without floating and no sirup will be left over, which in many cases me?.!is an important saving in sugar. Ja*s.—While the berries and sirup are cooking, place the empty clean ja?« and caps in tepid water and bring to a boil, and allow to boil for at least 15 minutes. Remove the jajrs from the water only as they are to be filled and the caps only when they are to be placed on the jars. Simply drain jars and caps do not wipe them. One of the inexpensive jar lifters will be convenient in handling the hot jars. Sterilizing Rubber Rings.—Do not boil rubber rings for any length of time. Just before placing them on the jara dip the rings for a mom'ent into a quart of boiling water into which one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda has been add,ed. Strawberry Preserves. RECIPE NO. 1. Sirup.—Add S5 ounces of sugar to one-half pint of water, bring to a boil and skim. Preserving.—To this amount of sirup add exactly 2% pounds of washed, capped, and stemmed straw berries. Boil the fruit until it registers 222° F. on a candy or chemical ther mometer. If no thermometer is avail able, boil until the sirup i3 very heavy—about as thick as molasses. Remove SCUM from the preserves. Packing.—Fill the sterilized jars full of hot berries. POUA? in enough of the hot sirup to fill the jar, leav ing as little air space as possible. Put sterilized rings and caps on at once, but do not fasten tightly. Sterilizing- Packed Fruit.—Stand the sealed jai'3 in tepid water up to their necks if possible. Bring this water to a boil. Let pint jars stay in the boiling water for at least 15 minutes and quart jars at least 25. minutes, then close caps tightly st once. At the conclusion of the operation, stand each jar for a moment on its cap to make sure that the seal is absolutely tight. RECIPE XO. 2. The following method is preferred by some because it leaves more of the natural color in the presei*ves: To two pounds of washed, capped, and stemmed stre.wberries add 26 ounces sugar, let staad overnight. In the morning pour juice thus obtained into a preserving kettle, add berries, and cook to 222° F. or until the fcirup is very heavy. Pack and sterilize as in recipe No. 1. Importance of Tfisnaraieirr In Pre serving. The preserving specialists advise those who are ga'r.g t® put up any quantity of preserve.-? to purchase a chemical thermometer which gives readings by degrees Fahrenheit for each degree from 212° up. Equipped with such a thermometer, the pre server can be' certain of ur.iform re sults. The sirup will net reach «£22° F. until it is cooked enough and is of the best preserving consistency. The reason for this is that the sirup will not reach this temperature until the proper amount of water has been driven off by boiling. Such a ther mometer is also very useful in all forms of preserving, in candy making, and in other cooking operations where results depend upon exact heating. The following tested wicipe for pre served strawberries is used in the hoys' and girls' club work in the ivcrtl-.ern and western states: "Make a sirup of one quart of water and 11 pounds of sugar and cook in an open kettle until a candy ther mometer registers 2S5° when' placed in the sirup. Add 8 pounds of berries to Hie sirup. Cook very slowly, just at the boiling point. Stop the cooking when the thermometer registers 219° and pour into shallow pans to cool. Hasten cooling by pouring sirup over berries. Skim while cooling. Fill in to jars when cold and allow to stand unsealed for four days. Put rubber and cap in position, not tight. (Cap I and tip, if using enameled tin cans), If using a hot water bath outfit, ster lize 20 minutes if using a water seal outfit, or a five-pound steam pressure outfit, or a pressure cooker outfit, sterilize 15 minutes. Remove jars. Tighten covers. Invert to cool and test the joint. Wrap jars with paper to prevent bleaching, and store." Many persons regard the saving of small amounts of left-over food as unimportant. If they kept accurate account, however, for any period, many families would be astounded by the amount of good food they are throwing out and by the sums that they are paying to the grocer, the butcher, and the milkman to replace good food being absolutelv wasted. Skim milk, too widely looked down upon as a food, although it contains practicallyall the nourishing elements I of whole milk with the exception of the cream or fat, can be used as a beverage, in cooking cereals, or as a basis for milk soups or sauces. .Sour milk also, so often thrown away, can be used in making hot breads or in the home manufacture of cottagc cheese. Vegetables and fruitsv often are stored in quantities iii hot., damp, and poorly ventilated bins and under con ditions which hasten wilting, fermen tation, and decay.

F. of L. headquarters indicate that .the nation's best thought is ac cepting the trade union position that labor laws and other social legisla tion must not be waived or weakened because of the war. Exploiters of labor have failed to twist the declaration of. the council yt national defense to suit their purpose. This declaration is based on possib'e eventualities that would imperil our national life. The council insists that it, rather than an employer or group of employers who would take advan tage of war's first alarms, is the best judge of future conditions. President Wilson's clear-cut decla ration on May 15, in addressing a del egation of trade unionists, has been a powerful factor in checking this ten dency, as it is a notification to labor exploiters that they can expect no aid from the nation's chief executive in their attempt to tear away the foun dations of social progress. The presi dent said: "I have been very much alarmed it one or two things that have happened: At the apparent inclination of the leg islatures of one or two of our states to set aside even temporarily the laws which have safeguarded the standards of labor and life. I think nothing could be more deplorable than that. "Therefore, I shall exercise my in fluence as far as it goes to see that that does not happen aril that the sac rifices we make shall b« made volun tarily and not under the compulsion which is mistakenly interpreted to mean a lowering of the standards which we have sought through so many generations to bring to their present level." In his telegram of April 30 to Illi nois trade unionists, Secretary of War Baker said: "The recommendation of the coun cil of national defense was that power to suspend existing statutes be grant ed only in emergency cases involving the national defense, and then only upon request of the council and for a stated period. The declared policy of the council is to maintain all existin? laws and regulations. No position has been taken by the council in opposi tion to or discouragement of the pass age of further regulations looking to improvement in industrial conditions. Secretary of Commerce Redfield took the same position in his address before the convention of the Nation al Association of Manufacturers, New York. May 16: "In practice, therefore, there should be no disturbance of labor standards, no suggestion of* altered hours. Let these things rest till the nation itself calls. Keep the standards of liviu» untouched and the standard of friend ly leadership exalted! If the nation's need shall call, you wilt be told what is required. Till that call shall come, et there be no undue pressure upon labor and let no advantage be taken whether for profit or for pride or sup posed principle in the hour of the nation's trial." These declarations by President Wilson and his cabinet officials are in line with the present attitude of the British government after its 'disastrous experience following an assent to the plea of employers identical to that in our own country. British authorities have acknowledged their mistake and and the maintenance of labor stan dards is nb^' their greatest considera tion. This war will "Hot be a 100-yard daslj, with the contestants calling on every ounce of energy for the few sec onds necessary to cover the distance. The present emergency will be a long struggle, a marathon. Lnder these circumstances it is vorse than unwis dom to devitalize our first line of de fense, the producers, by stripping them of protection against employers whose ideals are less of patriotism than of profits and dividends. Meeting For Purpose Next Sun day Night At Socialist Hall, West End. An attempt will be made to re-or ganize the English branch of the So cialist party of Duluth, at a meeting called for the purpose Sunday after noon at 2 o'clock. It will be h°ld at Socialist hall. Twenty-First avenue West and Superior street. For the past two years the English branch has been inactive, and the burden of the propaganda work has fallen on the shoulders of the mem bers of the Scandinavian, Finnish and Jewish branches. It is expected that npiV| spirit will be injected Sunday evening and hopes are high among Socialists that the English branch will be revived and brings newer life into the movement in this city. Everybody is welcome at Sunday night's meeting. LOSES ANTI-DRAFT FIGHT SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.—The state supreme cdurt has denied the ap plication of Ferdinand Claudius of Oakland, who a3ked to be relieved from military registration, under the conscription law, on the ground that the thirteenth amendment to the fed eral constitution prohibits involuntary servitude. It is believed that this case is with out parallel in the legal hi3tory of the United States. SHE WAS UISCHAltKHD.

Keep Milk Continuously Clean, Cold vand Covered fhis injunction applies equally to the producer, the whclesaler, the dealer, and the consumer. Unclean milk sent from the f«rm sours and spoils more c.ulekly than clean milk. Pasteurization makes milk safer. Milk, to keep properly, shcul4 nsver get warmer than 50° F. until ic is con sumed. The lower the temperature the better the milk will kssp. Bacteria.—such as those which cause milk to sour—develop very slowly and cause little change in milk kept at such low temperatures. A slight rise in temperature, even for a short time, permits these bacteria to multiply rapidly and bring abo.vt rapid deterioration of the milk, which may render it unfit for ordinary use. Don't leave your milk bottles on a hot porch or doorstep. A short ex posure in the sun or a warm place hastens the spoiling even of ccld, bottled milk. Have the milkman put your milk into the refrigerator. If this is im possible provide, in warm weather, a box with ice, or a bucket of water in a shady place, for the milk. At any rate, have the bottles left in the coolest and shadiest place about your premises. Don't leave milk in bottles or ves sels in a warm room for a moment longer than is necessary. Never pour milk, which has been exposed to the air, back into a bottle containing other milk. Keep such milk cold and covered in another clean utensil. Keep Milk Clean. Milk, when warm, is an ideal cul tural medium for bacteria. Keep milk clean. You can keep it clean only by keeping it covered so that the bacteria and molds from the air will not get into it. Keep your milk bottles covered either with caps or by placing glasses over them. Keep them covered in the refrigerator and in the kitchen or din ing room. Never pour milk into an unsterile bowl or pitcher. Scald all vessels in to which milk is poured for keeping or serving. Gool these utensils after scalding, before you put milk into them. Before you open a bottle of milk, wash and wipe the outsideof the cap with water and a clean cloth. The little depression at the fop of the bottle collects dust or water, or milk, which may attract flies. Lift out the cap with a pointed instrument, so that the outside of the cap, which may be contaminated, will not be pushed down into the milk. Clean and scald the refrigerator where milk is stored, regularly with hot sal-soda sbltition. See that the drip pipe is kept open and clean. Even in the cleanest refrigerator, never keep milk in an open vessel. Milk absorbs odors easily. If there are babies or little chil dren in your home, clean, cold, cov ered milk is absolutely essential. Clean Empty Bottles. Finally, clean empty bottles. Rinse thoroughly w-ith cold water every milk bottle, as soon as emptied, and then wash with hot water. This helps 5'our milkman to give you clean milk Never take milk bottles into a sick room. If you have an infectious or contagious disease in your home, boil the milk bottles, and do not return them without the express sanction of your local health officer or attending physician. Don't Throw Out Skim or Sour Milk. Clean skim milk is a valuable food, containing all the nourishing elements of whole milk excefot the fat or cream,. It is useful in cooking cereals, soups, sauces, cocoa, etc., and is a palatable, nourishing beverage. Sour milk and buttermilk can be used with soda in making hot breads, or sour milk can be easily turned into cottage cheese, or clabber. Sour cream is a good shortening for cakes and cookies, and is-.useful for salad dressings and gravies for meat. The United States Department of Agriculture will be glad to send you additional information about the care and use' of milk. ABANDONS COOLIE PLAN STOCKTON, Cal., June 7.—Th( chamber of commerce has concluded not to press its resolution that con- I gress be asked to permit the immigra tion of 100,000 coolies during the war period. It is stated that a small vote of the membership is responsible for this move. Trade unionists, however, are of the opinion that the protests against the plan was a, factor in the latest decision.

VIRGINIA, June 1.—Senator Rich ard Jones of Duluth delivered the Memorial day address in this city. Discussing the relation of Memorial day to the present war situation, Sen ator Jones said: "This conflict will but accelerate the coming of the day when man will have the opportunity to develop the best that is in him. It will hasten democracy. Our only regret is that other- and less bloodless means can not be employed. But this is not our fault. Militarism and all that goes with it stands in the way. It stops the march of progress and we are, I believe, taking the only means left to us, to join in one final effort that will stamp it out as we would a plague. "W. R. Alger said that 'true states manship is the art of changing a na tion from what it 1 is into what it ought to be.' "If this sentiment is true, and I be lieve it is, then our duty as patriotic citizens is to study the conditions, moral and economic, of our country face them like real men and women and apply the remedy that a thorough diagnosis of the case requires. Let us follow the example of the men whom we honor today and who possessed the courage and the determination to sacrifice all in a cause that was just. We cannot perform our duty as re sponsible*and patriotic Americans by closing our eyes to the Injustices which must needs causa social unrest and impede our progress as aa en lightened nation. "Are we trying to make it easier for men to do right and more difficult for them to do wrong? This is the ques tion that confronts us, the real sub stance of the social problem. "Tru? patriotism involves more than fighting our enemies abroad. It also means that when this conflict is ended we must eliminate those forces in our industrial and social life w^hich sap the life-blood of the people and rob them of their just inheritance. "There will be a national house cleaning as soon as we can get around to it. It will be thorough and sweep ing. We shall institute a regime when men will be kings and when kings will wear the garb of the civilian. This conflict will develop men who are big enough to meet the tasks that will face them. "The period of the Revolution gave us Washington, Jefferson and Frank lin, The Civil war gave us Lincoln, Grant and Lee men of experience and vision, who felt it their patriotic duty tj change this nation from what it was into what it ought to be. Forget Party Lines. "And at this time in our national life we forget party lines, we banish political animosities and join one with another in the bond of comradship, Americans all, and thank God there is in Washington today a man at the helm of the ship of state who is big enough for the job. "We meet to celebrate the deeds of those men viio were called upon to give all they possessed to establish a principle. They gave gladly, unsel-" fishjy, generously. The cause for which they fought and bled was to lift humanity to a higher level, to ameliorate the conditions under which men shall live. They gave their lives to that cause, and the things we do here and what we say here are but feeble recognition of their noble deeds. "Our mission should be to continue that work now and after this war is ended. Our resources and our insti tutions will be put to a grilling test. Patriotic citizens over the land will applaud the sentiments of Samuel Gompers, speaking for the great American labor movement, in sending liis now famous message to the work ingmen of the new Russia, pleading with them 'to make common cause with us to abolish all forms of auto cracy and despotism, and to establish and maintain for generations yet un born the priceless treasures of jus tice, freedom, democracy and human ity.' The Labor Paper As An Advertising Medium ORCHARD AND GARDEN .7 •*,#/ June 1 to 8. All tender plants and bulbs may be set in the garden now. Do not set dahlias In land that lias reciently been heavily manured. Another planting of gladioli may be made now. Dahlias may also still be set. Watch for worms on cabbage and currants. Spray as soon as the insects are seen. Swiss chard or leaf beet makes good rots, are much befter to use during the winter if planted late. Rosa rugosa makes a good group plant because of its foliage and its habit of bearing flowers all summer. Keep the hedges clipped. They look better and the work can more easily be done when they are not too heavy. If stocky dahlia plants are wanted it is well to pinch out the head when the plant is afoot or so high. Do not plant more than one or two tubers in a hill. A clump gives too much foliage and no flowers. Have you put tip a bird bath yet? No matter how simple or elaborate it may be, it should be well protected from cats. Are you provided with a good can ning outfit so that use may be made of the surplus tomatoes, corn, etc., of the garden? Now is a good time to get one. Garden roses require sun and air. They do not w*ant to be shut in close. Neither should they be exposed to wind and storms. Watch for insects on the foliage and get rid of them at once. When they begin to flower see that they are well supplied with water at the roots. Sometimes frequent appli cations of liquid manure do them good. Weaker-growing roses flower best if severely pruned in the spring.—-LeRoy Cady, associate horticulturist, Univer city Farm, St. Paul, Minnesota. How Telephone Opera tors Pronounce Numbers Telephone operators are taught to pronounce numbers in a manner that will prevent the least possible misunder standing, for example— 1.—"Wun"—Strong N. 2.—"Too"—Strong and long oo. 3.—"Th-r-ee" Slightly rolling and E. .4.—"Foer"—Slightly with long o. 5.—"Five"—Long I and short V. 6.—"Six"—Strong X. 7.—"Sev-en"—Two sylla bles. 8.—"Ate"—Long A and strong T. 9.—"Nien"—S or with strong final N. 10.—"Oh"—Long O. If when you call Melrose 2811, instead of saying "Mel rose twenty-eight, forty-four,* you say "Melrose (pause) Too Ate (pause) Focr-Foer,'' it will assist the operator in under standing you correctly. Printers' Ink the highest authority on advertising mediums, makes the following statement "A labor paper is a far better advertising medium than any ordinary newspaper in compari son with circulation. A labor paper, for example, having 2,000 subscribers, is of far more value to the business man who advertises than an ordinary paper with 12,000' subscribers." Many business men do not stop to think that every line, both of news and advertising, that enters a labor paper, ii read more closely by its subscribers-than those of any other form of publication. The people who read the labor paper are" laboring men, men who patronize only those merchants who conduct themselves fajrly toward labor. The ordinary newspaper i$-taken to the home, read and then cast a&de and never touched again. The labor paper is saved by the housewife and its advertising columns con--, suited when she wishes to make a purchase. THINK IT OVER Call for Solicitor—Grand 65 Melrose 1288.
