A GOOD
U. S. NOT SURPRISED
WASHINGTON PREPARED FOR UP
RISING IN RUSSIA.
Probability of Change for Better
Through Counter-Revolution or
Some General.
Washington, Nov. 0. The newest
Russian upheaval surprised nobody In
our government. They hud hoped for
the permanence of the Kerensky gov
ernment, but they never lost track of
the ever-present probability that tho
radicals, with their program of Imme
diate peace, division of tho land nnd
other Utopian dreams, would seize tho
government from the uncertain hands
of the young dictator.
Our mllltury ofllclals warned tho
government nt the time of the orig
inal abolition of tho death pcnnlty for
military offenses that Russia had
ceased to be u depeudablo fuctor In
the war.
Obviously the other allies, with tho
same Information, reached the sumo
conclusion, und plans wero mude ac
cordingly. Our tusk Is harder und longer than
It seemed when we entered tho wur,
but there is no other change.
Thero Is always the possibility of
the Russian situation changing for tho
bvtter, either through the rest of Itus
slu refusing to nccept tho Bolshevlkl
domination of Petrograd or through a
counter-revolution in the urmy.

NO DANGER IN HOME TYPE
U. 8. Department of Agriculture Issues
Statement Prepared by the Bacterl
ologlsts of tho Bureau of Chem
istry and States Ssrvlce.
Washington, Nov. 10. Tho United
States department of agriculture hns
Issued tho following statement pro-
pared by the bacteriologists of Its bu
reau of chemistry und tho stntes rela
tions service:
"There Is no danger thnt tho typo
of food poisoning known ns 'Botu
lism' will result from cntlng fruits or
vegetables, which have been canned
by any of tho methods recommended
by the Untted States department of
agriculture, provided such directions
hnvo been followed cnrcfully. It Is
possible that In n number of instances
tho directions wero not strictly fol
lowed nnd that spoilage has occurred.
Of course, extreme enre should bo
taken to ascertain beforo cnttmr
canned goods of any kind whether
they nre In good condition, nnd If they
have spoiled they should not bo con
sumed. "In enso of any doubt as to wheth
er tho contents of a pnrtlcular enn
hnvo spoiled, the safest plan is to
throw It nway, although nil donger of
Botulism may be avoided by boiling
tho contents of tho can for a fow min
utes, since the Bacillus botullnus
nnd tho .toxin or poison which It pro
duces are killed by such treatment. No
canned goods of nny kind which shows
any signs of spoilage should ever bo
eaten. In tho cold pack method of
canning given out by tho department
of agriculture, only fresh vegetables
are recommended for canning, nnd
sterilization Is accomplished by tho
following processes: Clennslng, blanch
ing, cold dipping, packing In clean,
hot Jars, adding boiling water.
sealing Immediately, and then steriliz
ing tho senlcd Jars at n minimum tem
perature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit for
ono to four hours, according to tho
character of tho material. Since tho
spores of B. botullnus nro killed by
heating for ono hour at 175 degrees
Fahrenheit (according to Jordan's
'Bacteriology' and other recognized
textbooks) thero Is no reason to be-
llovo that tho botullnus organtsm will
survlvo such treatment"
