Trie other is to pack them mashed in their juice. For the solid pack, pack the toma toes whole, pressing down firmly enough to fill all air spaces; add only the fuice which drains from the to matoes during peeling and cutting.

Never use more than 5 lbs. pressure for peaches and all other fruits and berries. Pears may be canned whole or cut in halves. Peel and remove core if cut in halves. When packed whole, leave stems on.

Many people think the pear is rath er bland in flavor so they add addi tional flavor, as lemon or ginger, to the syrup. Then add a slice of lemon or a small piece of ginger root when packing the jar. The KielTer, the Pineapple and the Le Conte pears are desirable for can ning. When canning a larger quantity of pears, they are apt to turn brown very rapidly when exposed to air. This can he avoided by placing the fruit in a dilute salt brine (2 tablespoons salt to 1 gallon water). A good, medium syrup for pears is made by boiling to gether one quart of sugar with two quarts of water. * If pears are canned in tin plunge immediately into cold water and cool os quickly as possible, otherwise, fruit may turn pink in color.

The president had con ! sistently stayed out of the scrap I until Tuesday when he issued a long I statement endorsing the flexible ! tariff provisions enacted in 1922, and | providing that the president may up on recommendation of the tariff commission, raise or lower rates on particular commodities. Most of the insurgent republicans and practical ly all of the democrats in the senate j oppose that provision. The president ! says general revision of tne tariff should not come oftener than once in seven or eight years; meantime changing conditions make it advis able to revise rates on some com modities more frequently. So he wants the flexible provision retain ed in the new bill. A vote on the measure is expected soon. <§> Inquiry May Result From Cotton Error Senators George and Harris of Georgia and Smith of South Carolina have demanded an investigation of an error in the census bureau's cot ton report last week. The bureau announced the ginnings to date and then a few hours later announced a correction, showing that the actual ginnings were 300,000 bales less than the first report. The error was made in the Georgia figures. Sen ators from all the cotton states have long been displeased with the census bureau’s manner of handling crop condition and ginning Reports, and the instance last week gives occasion to have the matter opened up again. TAX REDUCTION MAY COME NEXT YEAR | Many of the good things seem to be either in the past or in the future. Press dispatches coming from Wash ington during the past few days indi cate that there may be substantial reduction in federal taxes next year. Business prosperity is rolling up an unprecedented volume of income taxes, it is said, which will create a surplus in the treasury and make tax reduction possible.
