Labor day proved one of real labor for the local exemption board, as they were busy all day at the headquarters in the Thayes building certifying up the list of accepted in the second call of 400. This work is being hurried along as rapidly as possible and is be- ing done with that care and preciseness which has marked the efforts of the local board from the beginning of the draft work. When the New London county recruits to the new national army begin to arrive at Camp .Davens, early next month, for the, training which is to it them for Uncle Sam's Aghting fore- es they will find that despite the fact that the contractors have been at work but three months, the great New England army cantonment is practi- <cally complete. ~ The camp iz about 80 per cent. com- plete. There are 9,500 men employed in putting on the finishing touches and the work is being rushed at top speed. Officially the camp became the headquarters of a division of the new national y when Maj. Gen. H. C. Hodges J§., together with several of- ficers of his staff, arrived to begin the big task of whipping the recruits into a hardenedl body of fighting men. While efforts during the past week have been; devoted largely tp work on. the two-stony barracks which the men of the comscript army are to occupy, 2 multitude of 'other activities are be- ing carried on with speed, and rapid progress is being made each day. There are about 150 of the 192 bar- racks that are to be constructed com- plete and ready for occupancy.

State Council of Defense Tells How It “May Be Kept For Winter Use. The following information is put out the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defence. Sweet corn is just at its best now and this is the time to put down a sup- ply for winter. Even if one hasn't a garden, it may be possible to order in quantity from the producer and so get it fresh and reasonable in price. Corn may be canned by the ‘cold pack” method of canning. Method of Canning: Can the same day as pick- cd. Remove husks and silks. Blanche on_the cob in boiling water 5 to 10 minutes. . Plunge quickly in cold wa- ter. ~Cuyt the corn from the cob with 2 thin, sharp-bladed knife. Pack corn in jars. Do not pack too clogely as corn swells when cooking. Leave three-quarters inch space in the top of the jar. Add one level teaspoon of salt ‘to each quart, and sufficient hot water to fill. Place rubber and top in_position; meal ravtially but tight, sterilize 180 minutes in hot wa- ter bath outfit. Remove jare, tighten covers, cool and test joints. Wrap with paper and store. Corn may be canned by the “salt and sugar’ method. This saves time and fuel and is very, satisfactory. MBthod: Cut corn from the cob; use 9 cups «# corn, one cup of sugar, one cup of' salt two cups of water. Put in a pres#fvinz kettle and let it hoil vigorously for ten minutes, then fill sterilized jars and seal. 'The writ- er, as an added precaution, cooked the cans when filled for one-half hour usirg the regular cold-pack met%0d. This corn needs to be freshened when used. Soak for several hours in cold water, changing frequently. Thep heat ‘eradually and do not let boil before serving. Add seasoning and milk if desired. Caution: Do not use any kind that it be dofie in a most thorough manner and that no point be sacri- ficed which will add the comfarts of home to the barracks. , While the construction work is go- ing on attention is being given by prominent men and women of Massa- chusetts to the work of insuring fur- ther happiness and contentment _for the drafted boys, through the estab- lishment of many recreational activi- ties. Included among these is a $50, 000 ‘hotel in Aver center, and nume; our clubhouses and bathing pavilio: for the use of the men. Ex-Gov. vid I. Walsh of.

This im- portant institution is to be fitted with 2ll he modern conveniences of -medi- cal and surgical science and will rank as one of the leaders in hospital equipmen. - The hospital will be in charge of Maj. Glenn I Jones, who has had -charge of the sanitation work at the camp and who has been T- moted recently. . The American Red Cross society will be acked to furnish the nurses for the inatitution. The sewage, water and lighting fa- cllities a the camp also are being ad- vanced with astonishing rapidity, The water situation, which for a time iooked serious, has been solved satic- factorily, and the recruits will be as- Sured of an abundant supply of pure, clear drinking water especially safe- guarded against disease - breeding rms. ‘Welis have been sunk in many places and have given forth an un- usual supply of good drinking water. At the same time arrangements are being made to get an additional sup- ply from the metropolitan water basin at Clinton. This water will be con- veyed to the camp through _pipes made of California wood, guaranteed against insanitary conditions and dis- -ase. About 22,000 electric lights will be rekuired for_the complete lighting of the camp. Wires have been _stru and the Connecticut River Power an Transmission Co. is bullding a giant nowerhouse on a fleld not far from the camp for the sole purpose of fur- nishing the julce fr the illumination. Many of the poles and lights Ve been set in place. The transformérs have been set i nplace in the - house. and the principle tack to which the electriclans are mow'giving atten- tion is the wiring of the barracks and officers’ - quarters. 3 o (The sewage system is about Lo ete. and the excellent topography - Phe ‘iand for perfect drainage has been a big factor | nthe rapid pro- gress that lias been made’ on this im- portant feature of the camp work. The slow sand fliteration system .re- garded by experts as one of the mast oractical and safest methods for car- ing for sewage waste, will be used, and_the filtration plant is ready for work. The workmen- at the camp lay more than a mile of sewer pipe each day. and the enermity of the task can be best conveyer' when it is known that the laying of that amount of sewer pipe {s considered. an all-seasan fo bin many large cities. A large remount station is planned and soon will. be under con- struction. One of the jast thinks that L W done will be the s of a material o] ‘The- of canning powders; they are unsafe. Dried Corn: Many people prefer dried corn and it is one of the easiest produets to dry. Some hnousewives when getting the dinner supply pick a dozen or so extra ears and dry them either as the dinner {s cooking—if there is room in the oven—or on the stove, or let dry while the after-din- ner work is being done and the fire is dying down, if one uses a range. Corn may be started in the oven to dry out and'thedt be finished in the sunshine. Do not have the oven temperatura over 145 degrees F. Method: Cook in bofling water 5 > 10 minutes, long enough t oset the milk. Cut the ker- rels from thé cob with a sharp knife, taking cars not to cut off pieces of the cob. Spread thinly on trays and place in pesition to dry. Stir occasionally untfl dry. Corn mag be used in many wave for both luncheon and supper dishes. Have ¥ou made corn soup or corn chovfder? Corn’ is excellent escalloped, and for varied escallop it with tomato. MANY TEACHERS APPLY. Senatol Edward 8. Boyd Has Already Received Seventy-Five Applications. Senator Bdward S.
