ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE
A new method of utilizing coal in
competition with oil fuel is being tried
at Vancouver. It is said that crushed
coal can be supplied to steam-produc
ing furnaces by the same method that
oil is utilized. Tlie new process is of
special interest to British Columbia, as
It is proposed to apply it for smelt
ing purposes in the big mining plants
of the province. It is asserted that
seven tons of copper ore cun be smelt
ed with one ton of coal by this process,
wnereas formerly the ratio was a ton
of coal to a ton of ore.
Russia and Serbia, also Austria, may
allow young women to fight in their
armies, but Canada will not, although
according to a recruiting officer in Win
nipeg, several have applied, and two
could hardly be kept from join
ing by force in response to a call for
“stenographers for the second service
unit of the Nineteenth battalion.”
Refining nickel by a new process is
reported as having been discovered in
Canada. The claim is that 100 pounds
of matte can be converted into 60
pounds of metal in 48 hours, and that
the low-grade iron ores of the Lauren
tian hills near Ottawa can be used.
In British Columbia half of the in
dustrial capital Is invested in the lum
bering and woodworking business, half
the pay roll of the provinces is de- 1
rived from the forests and 37 per cent
of the annual wealth production is at- ;
tributed to the same source.
The geological survey has estimated
that the Colorado river in an average
year discharged into the gulf of Cali
fornla 338,000,000 tons of silt and salt, i
equal to 20 tons for each square mile
of land the river drains.
For the eight months ending with
last February the oversea trade of
Australia showed a gain of S8S.145,
625 w-lien contrasted with the com
monwealth’s foreigu commerce of the
previous year.
Because of the war, chicory is sell
ing high in England—at from $125 to
$140 a ton, whereas in normal times
It can be bought for $35 to $40 a ton.
India’s rice crop of the year is es
timated at 76,792,000 acres, slightly in
excess of the acreage of the year be
fore. The total yield Is expected to
be 21 per cent greater than last year.
Estimates for both area and yield are
the greatest on record.
The ducks of J. A. Andrew of Shlr
Iand tract, California, are supplying
him with valuable nuggets, the giz
zard of one having two gold nuggets
and two platinum nuggets, and anoth
er a gold nugget.
New Brunswick. N. J„ in October,
will celebrate the one hundred and
fiftieth birthday of Rutger’s college.
PICKLES OF MERIT
PREPARATIONS THAT WILL BE
APPRECIATED BY ALL.
Best Method of Preparing Small Beets
for Future Consumption—How to
Put Up Cucumbers and Cauli
flower.
_
A reader of ‘■Efficient Housekeeping”
I asks for a “tested recipe for small beet
i pickles.” All the reeii*>s used in this
[ department are tested, unless otlier
! wise stated; sometimes an unusual
formula is sent to us with the request
that it be published, and if it seems
practical we use it. But in such cases
we always state that it is a contribu
tion.
To Fickle Small Beets—Choose those
of uniform size, clean them and put
to cook without bruising the skin.
They should be tender in 40 minutes.
Place in cold water and the skins will
rub off easily. Put the beets into
large-mouthed jars and cover with
scalding vinegar made as sweet as
you like it and spiced. The spice
mixture should Include cinnamon,
cloves and allspice. These should be
whole and be tied in a muslin bag
and put in the vinegar while it heats.
Tlie vinegar should be pure cider, not
acetic vinegar, and if very strong,
should be weakened a little with boil
ing water—very strong vinegar draws
the color from the beets.
Prudent housekeepers reckon they
save at least 40 per cent from the
grocer’s budget by preparing their own
relishos, like pickles, chili sauce, chow
chow and stuffed mangoes. Those who
have their own kitchen gardens save
more than this, so the incentive to
make more and more pickles is great.
No one is likely to have too many.
If you have cucumber vines in the
garden, gather the pickles every morn
ing and place them in brine until all
are pickled. Then drain and freshen
them, first in cold then in soiling wa
ter. When they are fresh enough put
them into jars or bottles and cover
with scalding vinegar that has been
sweetened and spiced to suit your
taste.
The pickles should be assorted ac
cording to size, and some may be
packed in the jars with whole spices
or peppers and without being sweet
ened. If you enjoy mixed pickles you
will like this recipe:
Scald in hot salt water Two or more
heads of cauliflower, according to the
amount of mixed pickles you intend to
make. Also scald nasturtium seeds,
I small silver-skinned onions, tender i
green beans and tiny pickles or larger
pickles cut small. Cut the flowerets
from the cauliflower, and cut the beans
j in short pieces. Pack this mixture into
I wide-mouthed bottles with a few chili
j peppers to give color. To each pint of j
hot cider vinegar you use add one ta- j
, blespoouful of sugar, half a teaspoon
| ful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of mus
tard. Cover all the pickles and seal j
while hot. The spice mixture may be |
varied to suit the taste.—Chicago Jour- i
nal.
Cold Process Catsup.
Take <>ne peck of firm, ripe tomatoes.
I’eel them cold without scalding. Chop
line in a chopping bowl and strain off
all the juice. This is very important,
for if all the juice is not strained off
the chopped tomatoes the catsup will
not keep.
Add to the tomatoes one teacupful
of chopped onions, one teacupful of
chopped celery, one teacupful of sugar,
one-quarter of a teacupful of salt, one i
teacupfui of mustard sets], one tea- *
spoonful of ground cloves, one tea- j
spoonful of black pepper, one tea- j
spoonful of cinnamon, four red pep
pers chopped fine. Mix all the ingre- j
dients together in a large stone jar, I
then take three pints of pure cider vin- ;
egar and mix thoroughly, then bottle.
This catsup will keep for years if care i
is taken to have the tomatoes free
from juice and pure cider vinegar is i
used.
Southern Corn Pudding.
Green corn can hardly be improved i
by any way of cooking, but let me j
make a suggestion about a corn pud- i
ding which came from an old colored
cook In the South. Cut the raw corn
from six ears, first scoring down the
middle of each row, add two well-beat
en eggs and a half pint of hot milk,
in which has been melted a good-sized
piece of butter. Beat the whole well, !
ndd two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a
little salt. Bake in a deep buttered
dish for three-quarters of an hour.— I
Good Housekeeping.
Savory Custard for Invalids.
One egg, chopped parsley to garnisli
one-half pint of beef tea, seasoning.
Beat up the egg lightly. Warm the
beef tea and add it to the egg very
gradually, stirring all the time. Sprin
kle in seasoning to taste (as a rule, salt
and pepper must be added very cau
tiously to invalid dishes), and pour in
to a well greased cup. Steam very
geutly until nicely set, then leave it to
get cold. Turn out to serve and gar
nish daintily with the chopped parsley.
French Beans.
String and cut them into long strips.
Place them in a pan with plenty of boil
ing water and a little salt. Boil till
tender (15 to 20 minutes), and when
done, drain and shake them in the pan
till dry. Add a little pepper and a
small piece of dripping. Serve very
hot. Any cold French beans left over
can be served as a salad, dressed with
o:L and vinegar.
Meat Pie.
Two cupfuls of meat (cut up in small
pieces), one-half cupful peas, gravy
enough to keep moist, salt, pepper and
butter to taste. Crust—One cupful
flour, 1% teaspoonfuls baking powder,
one-fourth cupful butter, milk enough
to make soft, pinch of salt. Leftover
pot roast or chickens are especially
good for this, but any meat may be
used and the peas add a great deal.
For Egg Stains.
Egg stains on linen or any other
cloth should be soaked In cold water_
never in hot, which would make them
almost Impossible to remove.

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM SOON TO BE DEDICATED
Elephant Butte dam, which will be formally dedicated October U by President Wilson, is the largest irrigutiou
dam built under the direction of the United States reclamation service, and the largest mass of masonry in the worlq.
The dam Is destined to reclaim nearly 200,000 acres of fertile land in the valley of the Rio Grande iu New Mexico
and Texas and 30,000 acres of laud in old Mexico.
TOO POWERFUL FOR RESTRICTED TEPRITORY
Indian Head, Md.. may be abandoned by the United, States navy as a
proving ground for shells and armament as a result of the ricocheting of
a shell In a recent test. The missile was fired from a 15-inch gun and pierced
the heaviest amor plate used by the navy. After it passed through this
obstruction it plowed through a sand bank, and thence through the house of
a gunner who lived several hundred yards away. This photograph shows
the hole made by the shell’s entry, and, below, the gunner's little daughter
sitting astride the big projectile.
