Demand for Salicylic and Boric Acid Brings Warn- ing from the Govern- ment Experts, IS PROHIBITED BY LAW Artificial Preservatives Not Allowed in Commercial Canned Goods Information has come to the depart- * " ment inat the canning season has brought the usual demand on the part of housewives for salicylic acid and boric acid. These preparations are sometimes sold in the form of pow- der under various trade names, and are recommended by the promoters for use lit preserving canned goods in home canning. In the directions for use, the housewife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water, and add a teaspoonful of the preserving powder, while it is true that these compounds may re* tard the decay of the fruit or vege- table, ft is pointed out by the experts of the department* that their use may be attended by serious disturbances of health. Salicylic add is well known as a poisonous substance, and one of It la therefore plain that Its extensive use in food may lead to disturbance of digestion and health. Federal Law Prohibits. The Federal Food and Drugs Act prohibits the use of harmful preserva- tives tit 'foods that enter Interstate commerce. The food law of nearly every state in the Union forbids the sale within the state of foods that have been preserved with harmful substances.-- Neither the federal nor stste feed laws apply to foods that are canned in the home and consumed there. It would seem, however, that the housewife would not knowingly use. In the foods she provides for her family, substances that she could not use In foods for sale without violating the law, because these substances are injurious to health. Artificial Preservatives Not Necessary Fruits and vegetables can be kept indefinitely If they are sterilized by heat and properly sealed, and there is no excuse, in the opinion of the ex- perts of the department, for running any risk by using preserving powders, which may be injurious to health. The use of such powders in addition to the possible injury to health en- courages uncleanly or careless work in canning. Reliance is placed in the efficacy of the preserving compound, iBttieitd of upon cleanliness and heat. The department has Issued bulle- tins that give specific directions for the preserving and canning of fruits, and vegetables without the use of pre- serving powders or canning com- pounds. These bulletins may be ob- tained without cost from the depart- ment of agriculture. Application should be made for Farmers' Bulletin, No. 208 on Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies, and No. 621 on Canning Tomatoes at Home and in Club Work. GOLF BUG BITES COACHING STAFF Omer, Murphy, McGill and Robinson All Victims of the little Insect V Tom Robinson, swimming coach for Northwestern university, is the latest member of the athletic staff of the school to have been bitten by tile golf bug. His condition is quite serious, since' he clouted the ball at Glen View the other day. Here's how it happened: Tom went out to F. W. Upham'a place, which is near the Glen View club, to give some swimming lessons, Mr. Upham having a very fine/private pool. While there he was invited to play golf. He ac- cepted and now he la inspecting clubs, reading up oa the rules of the game, and calling fore, Tom. u not the only member of the coaching staff that Is loony. Lewis Omer was attacked early In the season, and it is claimed that he had been batting corn cobs around in the feed lot on his father's farm down at Clay- ton, 111., trying to perfect Ma owing. "Wee Willie" McGill is the only real player of the four. He is an old hand at the game and plays a brand of golf that makes many men envious. He used to play around with Dave Kober a number' of years ago before Dave got into the professional class. Fred Murphy Is doing nicely and his wife says that she is not a "golf widow" yet,.but is preparing for the worst. His golf fever has been about summer heat. Fred likes to hie the ball herd and send it high in the air. He thinks golf la kin to aeroplaning and altitude is more to be desired than distance. Who is at the bottom of all this the evils which may accompany its trouble? F. K. Jackson of the univcr- use is derangement of the digestion. |ity business ojfee is said to be the guilty one for enticing Omer and Mur- phy to the links. Jackson is as consis- tent and as constant a player as his office duties will permit. He started the coaches and now they are crazier than he Is, and that's going some, for he la always talking golf and tries to make his books balance at bogey, and )X there u some trouble in getting a balance he handicaps the ledger so many strokes. : r CHILDREN WILL AID IN STAT^C^NtENNIAL School Superintendent Is Ar- ranging for Them To Take Part.

This hat been decided upon by the Illinois Centen- nial commission, created by the legis- lature of 1913 and re-created by the last general assembly to arrange for the observance of the event It is the intention of the Centennial commission to send one of its mem- bers into every county to lay before the people the plans for the centen- nial celebration and' to arouse the pa- triotic pride of each community, so that the anniversary will be marked In a fitting manner in every city, town, village and hamlet of the state. A special appeal Is to be made to the school children, whose minds are In a state to receive and retain vivid and lasting impressions from the ex- traordinary demonstration. State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction Francis O.

The last previous letter came early In May and she had teen much concerned over their possible safety. Dr. and Mrs. Rathbun went there from El Paso two years ago, and he has had a very profitable practice as a dentist, as they pay for such services in gold, which is exchangeable for Mexican dollars at the rate of twenty to one. This letter was sent to her son, Don, at El Paso, and Is dated July 23. It speaks of a former letter written, but torn up because they could not get it out, as they were having a "change." Mall la Held Up, It went on: "Now another change, and I am going to try it again. Oh, if we only could receive some mall!

Ctean Hotcbkles has labored hard during the last tea years to build up a school of commerce of high standards at Northwestern-university, and he feels that ho uccda a temporary change. The evening course of the school of commerce is now firmly established. Last year the student enrollment ex- ceeded 750, and courses were offered In" twenty-seven different subjects. The prospects for this year are very encouraging. The inquiries indicate that a larger number of men holding responsible position's are learning the work that the* school has to offer them. Vanderblue Appointed, Homer S. Vanderblue, a graduate of Northwestern university in the class of 1818, who took lis'doctor's degree at Harvard last spring, has been ap- pointed assistant professor of trans- portation. This appointment enables the school of commerce to develop some very thorough course* In trans- portation this year, including traffic management and railroad rates. As an undergraduate Vanderblue won the Hart. Schaffner ft Marx prize for a thesis in railroad valua- tion. Henry Post Dutton, B. E. r, instruc- tor in factory management, has planned a new course in "Elllclcncy Standards" for the coming year. This is a new and promising field. Business Administration Course.

Hemenway of Evanaton, recognised as an authority on asnlta- tlon, aaya that the troublesome little soldiers that have been drawing ao much Evanston blood are the culex, add not the dreaded anopheles. ________Are Not Carriers.____ When he observed the actions of certain mosqultos he waa inclined to think that they might be malaria car- riers, but on examination under the microscope they proved to be the comparatively harmless culex. "Ben Hill." said the doctor, "'who came here in the 'Sot, told me that he never had known a case of malaria east of the Bkokje swamp in the early days when much of Evanaton was a swamp. I have never known a case of genuine malarial fever to originate here On the other hand. I havo known people to come in here with it. It can only be spread by the biting of the anopheles mosquito. Only Female Bites. if there were anopheles here they would naturally have spread the dis- ease from those who came here in- fected, and therefore I conclude that there are none. Many per ions do not know that only the female mosquito bites. Plant juices are their natural food, but before the female mosquito can develop her egga It Is necessary that abe have a drink of blood. "The ordinary mosquito here is the culex. One way to distinguish be- tween the two is that the anopheles when biting raises the hind part of Its body so that the body and the lancet are ln a straight line. The culex raises her hind feet but does not raise her body, so that the abdomen Is at right angles to her lancet. Watch Them Bite. "I thought yesterday I had caught some anopheles, hut found, on exam- ination under the microscope, that that they were the culex. I suggest that people observe and report regard- ing this. In Jamaica, during an in- quiry into malaria, some of the very best studies of the habits of the mos- quitoe were made by the school chil- dren. The eggs of the mosqultos found in the ponds will be found to differ considerably. Those of the cu- lex are cigar shaped, while the ano- pheles has wrigglers of wins shape resting on the water on each side of the cigar-shaped envelope." p John C Bleser, Jr., who was arrested last week on a warrant sworn out at the instance of the North Shore Cit- izens* association, on a charge of sell- ing liquor Illegally at this place on Ridge avenue, Gross Point, waa held to the criminal court on August 20 by Justice F.
