Nearly all of the • relatives of the two families, with a few friends were present. The day was certainly one to be long remember ed by all present. A large table was i erected across the lawn from which ■ ninety-five persons partook of the elaborate dinner, which consisted of everything that was good to eat, *n plenty. As many more could have i been fed from what remained after the dinner. As the party gathered around the table the president announced that the secretary had a word for them. He responded with the following announcement: “In behalf of the heads of the Leimenstall-Martin families. I wish to extend to you a hearty welcome.” Grace was said before the repast by Robert Scherlock, of Corruna, after which the throng about the table was very lively for about an hour. After dinner was over, the large piano was moved to the front door of the home and the program arranged by Miss Katherine Leimenstall was rendered to the enjoyment of all. The program follows: Opening song. “America” by the assembly; prayer, William Ehrman; short talks, secretary and president; instrumental dwt.

Jones Making Good (Continued from One) and there are maHy of them—are loyal Americans —almost to a man. They are to be commended. The little remark relative to me was amusing. The poor ‘“simp who started such a story only expressed off-fallings of his own ignorant, prostituted mind, and what he, in his depraved and cowardly subjugation would have wished for under similar circumstances. The fact of the matter, Elmer, is that I heard these tales before my, commission arrived and they in their abject ignorance did not have gumption enough to know that I was under no obligation until my commission arrived, and until I sent in my acceptance of same —all of which was only a few weeks before my departure. I feel that such remarks are always started by my “friends,” “The Enemy,” not only to me but to the cause for which I am fighting, as well as you and every other loyal American, whether he be in the shop, the field, the factory, or the army. My friends, like you, as well as thousands of others, need no assurance of my unwavering attitude, and the enemy matters not, while the “rumor” believing people are very allotropic and are likely to be on the right side part of the time. I am writing this before going to Allentown, because I know 1 will be busy every minute until our departure. I trust you are still in the "ring ami with kindest regards to your family, I am Sincerely yours, LIEUT. HARRY O. JONES. CANnTnG°PEPPERS.

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 brings out a thick liquor which covers the peppers in the jars and renders the addition of water unnecessary. For drying peppers may be 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 as above. If desired, dry peppers while by stirring on stout thread, or the whole plant may be hung up to dry. The small, sweet, red peppers may be spread in thin layers and dried as in the case of berries. Do not use too great heat in any case. GAINING STRENGTH Says Sign Painter—C. M. Richy Regains Health Through Ironated Herbs. Muncie, Ind. —The following is the statement signed by Mr. C. M.
