PEEL YOUR PEACHES
K - ' CHEMICALLY
t
Cle;-.ison College, S. C. June.?Two
Clemson men, Mr. Benj. Freeman, of
t*-5 Chemistry Department, and Prof.
C. C. -lew man, head of the Horticultural
Division, have perfected a method
of peeling peaches by chemical
process at a great saving of time, labor,
und fruit*
Ordinary caustic soda, commonly
called lyc, is used, preferably that
sold under the brand of "Greenback
Alkali."
_ Use a three per cent, solution (1
I (>Und of KOrla to 4 rrnllona nf wotar^
heat to 90 or 95 degrees centigrade.
Dip the unwashed fruit into thi:
and allow to remain one to two min
utes, until the skin scales off freely.
Wash the fruit well in three waterr
to rer.'.ove loose peeling and all trace
of sada.
Equipment, even for a commercia
cannery, is not expensive. For use
in the home in canning or otherwise
p pre3ervig peaches the process is easily
p applicable.
An ordinary porcelain lined pre
ser. :ng kettle makes an excellent vat
for the solution. A wooden vessel
may be used, but not metal vessels
which would be corroded by the caus
tic soda. A wire horse muzzle, o
so.nothing similar, may be used foi
a dipping basket for scalding and foi
washing the three waters nft??r annl.l
ing. In this way the fruit need not
be touched by hand after scaldinp
until completely washed.
A 12-gnllon solution will dip 5(
bushels of peaches.
The fruit retains all its original j
flavo * and firmness.
A carefull chemical analysis shows]
^ no trace of anything harmful.
Soft ripe fruit can be peeled a; |
effectively as firm fruit; and small]
or irregular fruit as readily as the
better specimems.
A bushel of peaches peeled by this
chemical process will fill 52 quarts,
or six quarts more than a bushel
peeled by mechanical methods.
Write to the Horticultural Division,
Clemson College, S. C., for Bulletin
No. 19G, "A chemical Process of Peeling
Peaches." It will be ready for
distribution \v*ithin the week.

Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug that
Loosens Corns so They
. Lift Out.
Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispensing
freezone, the recent discovery of
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter on an ounce costs very
little at any drug store which handles
drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
to rid one's feet of every hard or
soft corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching com or toughened callus
and instantly the soreness is relieved,
and soon the corn or callus
is so shriveled that it lifts out without
pain. It is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the surrounding
skin.
This discovery will prevent thousands
of deaths annually from lockjaw
and infection heretofore Resulting

GOODS AND SERVICES
By Dwight W. Morrow B
We are going to find, as we get
further and further into this war,
that there is nothing magical about
public finance. The government
must be supplied with money to pay q
for the goods and services it needs. "
But the only way the government can
get the goods that it needs is by getting
the people to do without those
goods and services. When a peace
trained nation goes to war, that wa
is largely fought with goods produc
ed and services rendered after it
rn 1 a info fVto wni? WUof 4 <??" I ?
r,--" ...vw -..V. ...... .. ..c* virc *vr?" "|-(
?rnment wants, therefore, is not
nerely money, but the goods and
erviccs that the money can buy.
Vhat the government wants from
hose men who go to France is a
ervice; what the government wants
:Ypm the man who works in a muni- m
ion factory, of the man who works V1
n a copper mine, of the man who VC
uns a railroad is service. 6j
Nov/, if the government needs not hi
nerely money but goods and ser- m
/ices, and if the needed goods and
services are limited in amount, obiously
the government is virtually in st
erested in having the people free as ui
nany goods and services as possible
in order that the government may or
:ommand those goods and services, w
there are only two ways in which vl
he government can get what it needs '8
o prosecute the war successfully? 'r
.hat is, by greater production and n<
ess consumption. As Lord Kitchen;r
put it: "Either the civilian popu- ^
ation must go short of many things h
o which it is accustomed in times of
eace or our armies must go short q,
>f munitions and other things indis- gt
sensible to them." If you invest in
government securities, such as War to
Savings Stamps the government wi'i al
hus get the things it needs to fight w
he war. And you will save money in
;t a good rate of interest. Oi

"The Germans attacked Hougaerde I

Rossville, Oa.?Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of

igineer, and once while lifting, he inred
himself with a piece of heavy matinery,
across the abdomen. He was
i sore he could not bear to press on
mself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
eighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
eighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked

jwels failed to act. He would turn up
ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
two or three days in succession. He
id this yet without result. We became
csperate, he suffered so. He was swoln
terribly. He told me his suffering

SUGAR FOR CANNING
AND PRESERVING
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Columbia, June 21.?Under new
sugar regulations recently announc-|
ed, limiting purchases of sugar fori
household use to two pounds to individuals
residing in cities and towns
ind to five pound to individuals residing
in rural sections, sugar can be
secured for canning and preserving
fruits and vegetables upon the signing
of certificates which dealers
throughout the State are furnished
by the Food Administration.
For canning and preserving purposes
twenty-five pounds of sugar per
month can be obtained by any person
but the sugar must be used for
this purpose only, and the person obtaining
it will be required to sign aj
pledge to return to the dealer any,
sugar so bought and not used forj
canning and preserving.
It is regarded as important by the
Food Administration that as much
perishable food products as possible
be canned this summer, not so much
for market as for home use next win-,
ter.
Conservation of sugar must necessarily
be practised, but provision
has been made to provide sugar for
canning and preserving purposes in
order that a great waste of perishable
food products may be avoided. Nothing
that can be saved should be al
lowed to go to waste. <
Every household is urged to put up
at least a few cans and jars of fruits
and vegetables.
TOUGH TO BE BUMBED
"The war is producing a slang all
its own," writes a Y. M. C. A. secretary
overseas. "In England, for example
when you hear that a ship was
bumhed you know it was torpedoed."
No. 666
This la a prescription prepared especially
for MALARIA or CHILLS & FEVER.
Five or six doses will break any ease, and
If taken then as a tonic the Fever wHI not
return. It acta on the liver better tbn
Calomel and does not tripe or aickaa. 2- i (
iy responsioie."
"Article LII. Requisitions In kind
and services shall not be demanded
from municipalities or Inhabitants except
for the needs of the army of occupation.
They shall be in proportion ?
to the resources of the country, and of
such a nature as not to Involve the inhabitants
in the obligation of tnklng 1
part In military operations against
their own country."
The German authorities hove violated
these articles from the very beginning.
As soon as they Invaded Belglum,
heavy fines were laid upon Individual
communities as reprisals for <
some act against the German army or i
Its regulations which wus committed (
within their boundaries. In "An Appeal
to Truth" Cardinal Mercler cite* i
the following cases: '
"Mullnes, a working-class towu, 1
without resources, has had u fine of 1
20,000 marks Inflicted on It because
the burgomaster did not Inform the
mintnrv onthnrlfv o <nni.nn.?
^ tV* U JUUI IIVJ V> Ultll
the cardinal, deprived of the use of his |
niotorcur, had been obliged to make
on foot. In fact, upon the flimsiest
pretexts heavy fines are Inflicted on
communes. The commune of I'uers
wus subjected to a flue of 3,000 murks
because a telegraph wire was broken,
although the Inquiry showed that It
had given way through weur."
Merciless Exactions.
In addition to such arbitrary,
sporadic exactions. In December, 1914,
the Germans demanded 40,000,000
francs ($8,000,000), n month to be
puld by the Belglun provinces Jointly.
Concerning this enormous Imposition 1
Cardinal Mercler says, In the "Appeal
to Truth
"Now, In December, 1914, Belgium !
was devastated. Contributions of war
Imposed on the towns and Innumerable
requisitions in kind had exhausted her.
The greater purt of the fuctorles were
mm, unu in inose wmcn were still ut
work, ruw materials were, contrury to
all law, being freely commundeered.
"It whs on this impoverished Belglum,
living on foreign charity, that n
contribution of nearly fiOO.OOO.OOO
francs was Imposed."
The German military rules have also
made the families responsible for acts
committed by or charged ugulnst members
as is shown In the following examples,
which are quoted from the
"Appeal to Truth, cited above:
"The Belgian government huve sent
orders to rejoin the army to the militiamen
of several classes. . . . All
those who receive these orders ure
strictly forbidden to act upon them.
. . . In cuse of disobedience the
family of the mllltiainan will be held ,

Appeal Unheeded.
Conspicuous among cold-blooded
lets of cruelty committed by the
Oermhns, to their everlasting disgrace,
the deportation from Mons is j
prominent. Official documents published
by the committee on public
information tell part of the harrowing
story.
A vivid sketch of the deportutlons
from Mons, ordered by Gerniun author- >
Itles, drawn by u participant, limy well
be cited here:
"I will take the 18th of November
of last year [19115]. A week or so before
that a placurd was placed on :he j
walls telling my capital city of Mons
that In seven days all the men of that !
city who were not clergymen, who |
were not priests, who did not belong to
the city council, would be deported.
"At half past five, In the gray of the
morning on the 18th of November,
they walked out, (5,200 men at Mons,
myself and another leading them down
the cobblestones of the street and out f
where the rioting would be less than
In the great city, with the soldiers on
each side, with bayonets fixed, with
the women held back.
"The degrudntlon of It! The degra- ,
datlon of It as they walked Into this j
great murket square, where the pens
were erected, exactly us If they were
cattle?ull the greut men of that province?the
lawyers, the statesmen, the
heads of the trades, the men that had
made the capital of Halnaut glorious
during the lust 20 years.
"There they were collected; no question
of who they were, whether they
were busy or what they were doing,
or what their position In life. 'Go to
the right! Go to the left! Go to the
right!' So they were turned to the
one side or the other.
"Trulns were standing there ready,
Bteamlng, to take them to Gerinanv.
You saw on the one side the one
brother taken, the other brother left.
A husty embrace and they were separated
and gone.
"You saw the women In hundreds,
with bundles In their hands, beseeching
to be permitted to approach the
trnlns, to give their men the last that
they had In life between themselves
and starvation?a small bundle of
clothing to keep them warm on their
way to Germany. You saw women approach
with a bundle that hail been
purchased by the sale of the last
of their household effects. Not
one was allowed to approach to give
her man the wurm pair of stockings or
the warm Jacket, so there might be
some chance of his reaching there. Off
they went!"?John 11. Gnde, in the National

Solemn Protest by United States.
The formal protest of the United
States was as follows:
"The government of the United
States hits learned with the greatest
concern and regret of the policy of th i
Herman government to deport from I
1 Selgluiil a portion of the civilian popu- K
lation with the result of forcing them
to labor in (Sermany, and is constrained
to protest in a friendly spirit hut most t
solemnly against this action which is t
in contravention of all nreeeili-m on.' i
those liumsim' principles of interna
tionul practice which have l?a .-'sp
accepted and followed hy civili/.ed r.*1
tions in their treatment of noiicotnha
tants in com]ucrcd territory. FurihetHiore,
the government ot the United
States is convinced that tin- effect of I
this policy if pursued will in all probability

work, so humanely planned so sue i
cessfully carried out, a result which
would he generally deplored and
which, it is assumed, would seriously
embarrass the (Scrnian government."
This protest was followed by those
of the pope, the king of Spain, the
government of Switzerland and other
neutrals. They were of no avail except,
perhaps, to lt*id the tiermau ail- (
thorities to draw a tighter veil over
their detestable proceedings. But the
