Health Department Official Speaks — Wife is ' Much Improved—ReconiI mends Medicine. The latent convert to the back to nature treatment or the Ironated I Herbs way to health is the well known ! and prominent citizen, Mr. E. H. Taylor, 1911 Cedar street, who is a man of the highest standing and integri'y. He holds an official position in the city of Anderson. Ind. His statement is especially interesting as he is connected with the health department. He stated in the Central Pharmacy recently, that Ironated Herbs was a medicine of wonderful curative properties. He said his wife was a great sufferer from stomach ami liver trouble and was in general run down condition, gas frequently forming when she would even take a drink of water. She took Ironated Herbs and immediately commenced to Improve and she is happy to say that she is rapidly regaining her health andj strength. Ironated Herbs is for sale at Callow & Kohne's Drug Store. Decatur Ind. acivt CANNING "PEACHES. New Method of Using Lve Given by Dr. Barnard. (United Tress Service) Indianapolis. Sept. 18—Fruit canners were today informed of an easy, efficient method of pealing peaches byDr. H. E. Barnard, pure food commissioner for Indiana. Dr. Barnard said: “The hardest part of preserving peaches is the taking the skins off the fruit. Peach juice stains and roughens the skin. It is full of tannin and strong dyes. A method has been worked out for peeling peaches with caustic soda or lye which does away with the necessity for cutting off the skins a knife. Peaches peeled with lye are just as wholesome as those peeled with a knife, and if the work is properly done they look even better. When the solution is too strong or when the peaches are left in the lye too long the flavor is injured. The cheapness and speed of the process are added reasons why lye peeling is helpful. The method tor using the lye is as follows: “Use a large iron kettle for the process. Do not use enamel or tinned ware unless you do not care how it looks when you are done and in no case use aluminum which dissolves very rajidly in alkaline solutions. Make up a solution of four table spoons or two ounces of soda lye which contains at least 90 per cent sodium hydrate, in a gallon of water. Add ’4 of a teaspoon of powdered alum and bring the sohition to a brisk boil in the kettle. Place the peaches in a tinned wire basket or in a loosely woven stout cloth. Dip the fruit a few at a time so as not to cool the lye too much. Keep it submerged from less one to as much as two minutes, as experience shoSvs is necessary to loos-' en the skins. As soon as the skin Is loose that it will rub off rinse the peaches thoroughly in cold water and then rinse once more in fresh water to remove the last trace of lye. Make up new- lye when the first solution joses its strength and change the rinse waters frequently. "Great care must lie used in handling caustic soda for it is a dangerous burning agat and a particle of soda or a few drops of the solution will cause severe burns.” I the” war cranks Keening Washington Detectives Busy Locking Them Up.

(United Pt-ess Service) Washington. Sept. 18 —The real pres ident of the United States arrived tn Washington the other day. He admitted it. "1 come," he announced, as be stepped off the train from Keokuk. ’ io take possession of the White House. Wilson was elected by fraud. I will drive out the usurper." "Welcome,” said a cordial Secret Service man. "Permit me to escort you to the White House.” Whereupon the self-styled president was whirled to police headquarters. Eventually he held forth in pomp at the Psysropathic Ward of the Washington asylum hospital. In the last few months this institution has welcomed a few other presidents, the pueen of Sheba (who had come to ask Secretary McAdoo for $500,000 for coronation expenses,) The Most August Oracle of the People (including Mexico) numerous crack-brained inventors. mlscellajieous “Chums" of the president (who just wanted to chat with him) and sqndry other mem bers of the batty battalion. One chap educated and ostensibly intelligent—came all the way from California to arrest the president.
