SOUTH SITES
BEST FOR GAMPS
Mild Wioters Enable Men to
Work Out of Ooors Continually.
HAVE PLENTY OF FRESH AIR
Much of the Time Not Taken Up by
Training Will Be Devoted to Recrea
tion—Thia Is of Great Value to the
Men In Attaining Mental Alertnaaa.
Long Autumn Coming Soon.
Major General Corpus, surgeon gen
eral of the army, met the criticism of
those who ure opposed to the establish
ment of training camps '^n the south
by announcing that the best sites lu
the country had been picked and that
no man qualilied to judge of their value
from a military standjiolut would think
of using northern localities for such
purposes.
"1 am strongly in favor of sites in
the south for training camps because
of health advantages to the men,"
Major General Gorgas said.
"The outstanding fact is that men
trained iu the south will have weather
conditions permitting their being out
of doors practically all of every day,"
he conjjuued. "In certain regions,
wisely cSosen for our national guard
camps, rain ij scarce In the wlhter,
when the heaviest training will be
done, and at night soldiers there will
sleep in quarters where there Is free
air circulation.
flamy OT rrvan r%Mr.
"Plenty of fresh air all the time
moans that any germs which may be
about arc kept on the move and have
slight chance to increase. Fresh air
and health are synonymous In mili
tary as well as In civil life.
"There Is. o* course, a military ad
vantage Involved beyond the funda
mental gain of having soldiers phys
ically fit for their work, it Is obvious
that men in training should have the
maximum hours per day and days per
week for drill and exercise.
"And there is no doubt that a soldier
gets more out of a given time devoted
to training under good weather condi
tions than from the same amount of
training in surroundings of physical
discomfort Induced by severe cold, for
such discomfort tends to distract the
soldier's attention from his work.
"Much of the time that Is not taken
up by drill and other definite mili
tary work will be available for recre
ation. The commission on training
camp activities has undertaken to pro
vide a coach and director of recrea
tional work for each camp. Outdoor
games, held sports. etc.. should be an
Important cont.i' ution to the Ideal of
physical perfection set for the sol
diers.
"Outdoor games and contests also
have a value for the men In attaining
the mental alertness which Is quite In
opposition to the sluggishness that Is
apt to result from the Indoor life ne
cessitated by a harsher clhnate.
"The few weeks of summer weather
which soldiers In the south may en
counter will be more than offset by
the long autumn and mild winter."
Various Types of Home
Canning Equipment
There nre four types or canning out
fits suitable for home use. according
to the home economics specialists of
the Xew York College of Agriculture,
who are urgiug every housewife to pre
serve some of summer's bounty against
winter's wants.
A homemade hot water vanner may
be made out of a tin bucket or a
clothes boiler or any utensil deep
enough to allow cans to be covered by
an inch of boiling water. A rack or
false bottom is necessary to keep cans
otT the* bottom of the container nnd In
sure free circulation of the Iwillng wa
ter. A tight tilting cover will help re
tain heat and save fuel. The commer
cial hot water outfits will hold More
cans at one time, and they have per
forated racks with handles, which are
a help Lu handling the cutis. Some
commercial canncrs have a fire bor, so
they can -e used o :t of doors.
St cm rn cookers are light, easily han
dled and lit the stove better than the
boiler types. They can l>e used for
ordinary cooking as well as for can
ning.
Water seal canning outfits are so
made that a so called seal of water
holds thu covcr down and creates a
si I 'til t stenm pressure In the space
above the cans. This pressure In
creases the temperature somewhat
above that of boiling water.
The steam pressure camiers are de
signed to increase temperatures much
above the boiling point by holding the
cans under considerably pressure. live
to fifteen pounds pressure is possi
ble in a number of portable steam
pressure entuiers made for household
use. .Steam pressure cnntiers save la
bor. time mu! heat because they short
en the tilim required for complete ster
ilization.
There are fey men who have no
frjends at all, but! the I. W. W.
leader who called upon farm labor
ers to strike and "let the fruit
rot on the ground" seems to. be
in that class. If he has any friends
thejr are keeping mighty; quiet.
