If all of the women could read this article, more canning factories would have to be built in a hurry. He makes this startling state- ment: “Canned tomatoes, and canned spinach have been tested three years after canning and the evidence did not indicate any ap- preciable loss in vitamins. Indeed, the canned tomatoes after three yeurs were as rich in vitamins as raw tomatoes. Canned strawberries were also found to equal raw straw- berres in vitamin content.” He de- scri es how canned cabbage, peas. sirach, apples and peaches were n to be rich in Vitamin C. Just think what wonderful news this is for all of us in this country where canning has been developgd to such a point of perfection that ‘we can buy canned almost any fruit or vegztable that is grown. Serve your family liberally with canned fruits for breakfast and for dessert, and serve them liberally with canned vegetables and fruits for luncheon and dinner. Canned peaches, apricots, Tip les, pears, or 'strawberries are :ricious served with csreals for breakfast and with ifce cream for dessert. There i: thealth in delicious canned fruits nd vegetables.

" OLD-TINE SHERIFE DIES I HIS SLEEP Aguirre Used Knife Instead of “Six Gun” to Keep Order Los Angeles, Feb. 2 (P —DMartin Aguirre, 71, last of the old-time sheriffs of California, who generally used a knife instead of a revolver to maintain order in the days when a shooter” and a quick draw were sidered symbols of authority, died in his sleep yesterday in a dingy hotel room here.

Aguirre plunged his horse into the surging debris-choked stream and carried 19 persons to safety, one at a time. On the 20th trip he snatched a little girl from a window and started tor the bank, when his horse, nearly «xhausted, tripped over a submerged picket fence and fell. As he went under, Aguirre flung the child on a protruding portion of the fence and as soon as he recovered himself he fought back, inch by inch, to get her, but she was gone.

After the chamber's board of 61 directors had heard speakers outlin- ing various phases und points of view on the unique project, they voted unanimously against giving the measure their support. Although previously Edward G. Buckiand, chairman af the board of directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad had stated the road had no special in- terest for or against the proposed highway, W. L. Burnett, represent- ing the railroad, was one of the chief opposing speakcrs in the chamber's forum yesterday. Former Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett, engineer for Pope and Richardson, New Yori, backers of the project, was ques- tioned: The road, he explained, would ex- tend very nearly in a straight line from the New York state line to the Massachusetts line, enabling New York-Boston traffic to speed across the state without traffic delay. No Grade Crossings There would be no grade cross- ings, all railroads or other highways being crossed on huge concreie bridges.

The resolution also declares that western Kansas has *‘nearly half the population” of the state, and “pays practically one half” of all taxes used to maintain state institutions, “which is taxation without repre- sentation.” Reference i{s made to the present allotment of six scnators to the western half of the state and 34 to the eastern half. “If this be treason, make the most of it,”” the resolution concludes, tI was prepared by four western mem- bers of the house.
