When a girl marries and enters into a strange enviorment she is con-i fronted with a trying task. The ex-! perience of Marjorie Wilde is so comprehensively described by Theodore. Dreiser in “Married” in September I Cosmopolitan that every reader will I appreciate it with sympathetic under | standing. Theodore Dreiser is the author of “The Genius” one of the best selling novels in the past ten years—a novel that created world-wide comment for its daring discussion of the artistic temperament. This is Mr. Dreiser’s first appearance in Cosmopolitan, and he has given it his best work. The story is profusely illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy. Fannie Hurst, America’s most popular writer of short stories, never wrote a finer one than appears in September Cosmopolitan, now on sale. “Get, Ready the Wreaths,” has a tear and a smile in almost every line. It is a story of supreme love and saccrifice — 'of an indulgent mother, a selfish girl and old-world memories that sear the soul. In this story Miss Hurst has I touched a universal chord of sympathy and understanding that reaches deep down into every human heart. When * your read this story you will feel that you have a better understanding of humanity. This is only one of the many wondreful features in this month’s Cosmopolitan. WE AGREE WITH “DOC” (United press Service) Indianapolis, August 18—Harry E. Barnard, food and drug commissioner [ of Indiana, today issued an appeal for greater activity in the state’s “swat the fly” campaign. “The only good Illes are the dead | ones, so kill every fly you can find and burn his body,” he said. “If an epidem 'ic among flies should exterminate the whole race from blue bottle to house flies, many of our worst diseases would leave us for the fly is a carrier of diseases. Much of our typhoid fever is due to food infested through the medium of flies. Many diseases of children are fly borne. This is especially true of the so-called mortality. It is probably true that flies do their part in spreading infantile paralysis.” _Q SAMMIES' HELMETS THE VERY LATEST IN TRENCH MILLINERY' (Unite* Press Service) London.

Pastor I —o—- ————— PREPARE WINTER STORAGE FOR VEGETABLES NOW. The home storage of fruits and vegetables must play an important part in the conservation of our food supply. Every farmer should consider the final work of gardening has ’ not been completed until all of his ( crops suitable for storage are prop-1 crly preserved for the winter, says F. C. Gaylord of the Purdue extension department. Proper storage will prevent a surplus on the market at harvest time. It will more evenly distribute the ' vegetables over a greater period of | time. A vast amount of food will be ' conserved which otherwise will go to waste. It is sure to secure for the i producers higher prices at a time, when they can more easily market their produce. All of this will greatly aid in the satisfactory marketing of our enormous crop. Storage Requirements. I Before the vegetables are stored it ;is essential that they are properly I matured, sound and that they have not been injured in harvesting, else (success will not attend your efforts. However, if these conditions have been successfully met "then continued

success In storage depends on the temperature, moisture and circulation of air in th« storage room Net all crops can be successfully stored under the same condition*. Rome require coni moist place, others a cool dry place, still others a warm, dry storage room, while a few are not Injured by freezing. The most common vegetables keep best in a cool, moist atmosphere with a temperature Just above freezing. <>r about 38 or 49 degrees F. Such crops as potatoes, cabbage, carrot*, turnips, beets and celery are easily stored under these conditions. Any place which is cool and moist, such as the outside dirt pit, the aide hill pit. the storage cellar or the oldfashioned farm cellar will handle these in good shape. areWu’Wng IT? Are you helping to feed a soldier by folding yourself next winter with produce from your war garden, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington, D. C. Can all you can is the slogan, and to further its nation-wide campaign being conducted with the co-operation of this newspaper, every reader can have a canning and drying manual who will send a two-cent stamp to the commission at 210 Maryland Bldg., to pay the postage. Today's lesson is on peppers. There are several ways for canning peppers. Wash red peppers and sitae off stem end. remove seeds and cut cross-wise into rings with scissors. Drop slices into boiling water for two minute* and then let stand in very cold water for ten minutes. Drain, pack into jars and fill to overflowing with a boiling syrup of two cups of sugar and a quart of vinegar. Seal jars at onco and invert so cool. Place sweet green peppers in oven until the skin blisters, peel and pack into hot jars. Add boiling water to fill jars with a level teaspoonful of palt to the quart, adjust and partially tighten tops and sterilize in boiling water for an hour and a half. Remove jars, tighten tops and invert to cool in place free from draughts. The Spanish pimentos should be prepared as above and packed in Jars without the addition of any water. Sterilize for thirty minutes and seal jars immediately. This process Wrings out a thick liquor which covers the peppers in the jars and renders the addition of water unnecessary. For drying, peppers may he split down the side, the seeds removed and the fruit dried at once, or the peppers may be placed in the oven till the skin blisters, then peeled and treated an, above. If desired, dry peppers whole by stirring on stout thread, or the whole plant may be hung up to dry. The small sweet red peppers may he spread in thin layers and dried as in the case of berries. Do not use ’too great heat in any case. — HERE u a rec.eay mat win cure most all •.<<■ acalp trembles. Eczema, Barbers Itch, Itch, Cult and Sores. Why waste time and money whan B. 8.
