Lands Big Pike A monster pike measuring 88 ins. in length and weighing lbs. 2 on, was landed at the cement dock at the lakeshore here a week ago by a Strat- ford man who was a guest at the tour- ist camp.

Durham Chronicle Walter Oster Recovering Mr. Walter Oster farmer on No. 4 Highway, just north of Blyth, is recov- ering nicely after a narrow •eseape from serious injury when he mistook a solution of lye and water Jor pure drinking water. The incident occurred when Mr. Os- ter sought to quench his thirst while attending a threshing at the barn of a neighbour, Mr. George Haines, on Friday afternoon.- Mr. Oster mistook a white crock and cup which were sitting on the shelf in the barn for drinking water, but for- tunately he realized his mistake before he had swallowed sufficient to do him internal harm. The crock contained a solution of lye, Medical aid was summoned, and fear was first expressed that he might have swallowed enough to do him ser- ious harm, but it is now believed that the burn is confined to his lips,mouth and throat, and on Monday, Mrs. Os- ter reported that he was improving nicely.—Blyth Standard, THE E.T.A. Its Origin, Objective and Its Enforcement .a....000••••••• Optometrist Phone 118 Harriston the three-fifths clause, In order therefore, to make the en- tire County dry, the Dominion Local Option (C.T.A.) eias voted on in 1914 and carried with a majority of 2608. `From our experience with the C.T,A. from 1914 to 1.920, when the Act was temporarily suspended, it was well re- ceived by our people and rigidly en- forced, • During these years, there were cer- tain sections of the Ontario Laws that dealt with the enforcement of the C.T. A., and it was under these regulations that the law was administered by Of- ficials appointed by the Ontario Gov- ernment. Our claim no*, is that. the Provin- cial Government should bear the res- ponsibility of enforcing both' the Dom- inion and Provincial laws, as was done by previous governments dating back as far as 1887. No law can be effective unless 'it has horrest and impartial enforcement, and Huron County with its full quota- of Provincial, Municipal and County Pol- ice, should have no trouble in securing the best possible results. It is our opinion that at the present time,the C.T,A, is the best available law to advance the cause of Temper- ance, and for this reason•it has the un- animous support of our organization.

The crop this year is a good one, and for many, it will mean a "put s. up jOb" since homemakers will want to can or freeze as many peaches as possible. For canning" the home economists of the Consumer Section of the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture re- commend the"V" varieties or the Ro- chester, the Elberta or the Golden Jubilee. For freezing, the recommend the "V" varieties, the Elberta, the J. H. Hale and the Candoka. Peaches may heeecartned by either the "cold pack" or the "hot pack" method. For either method, the-peach- es are selected according to size and degree of maturity. Good; sound and ripe fruit only should be used. Peach- es with bad spots should be put aside and the good portion used for jam and dessert. After election comes the blanching which consists of dipping the peaches in boiling water for 15 to 60 seconds and then dipping in cold water. This sets the colour and loos- ens the:ekins so that they will slip off easily. Not more than sufficient fruit for two or three containers. should be blanched at one time, Peaches, like pears and apples, discolour quickly after peeling and therefore should be dropped in a weak brine of 1 tea- spoon of salt to l e quart of water as soon as they are peeled. Since long standing in .brine would give a defin- itely salty taste to the peaches; a small quantity should be prepared at a time, sufficient to fill not more than 'two or three containers, The peaches, when drained from the brine are halved or quartered and pitted, .For the cold pack method, the peaches are packed in sealers, cut side down and covered with boiling syrup. The pint glass sealers and 20 oz. tin cans are pro- cessed in the boiling water bath for 20 minutes and the quart sealers and 28 Now that the. Privy Council has on tin aces 25 minutes. Glass sealers declared the Canada Temperance Act, only can be processed in a thermosta- t° be valid and thoroughly embedded into our Constitution, it is important that we have a clear understanding of the -aim and object of this legislation. When Senator Scott ,introduced the Act in the Senate of 1876, he made the following comment: "There are considerable sections of the country, where a large majority of the people are impressed with the be- lief that society would be much better without the use of intoxicating liquors; that if it were banished from their pre- cincts, crime would decrease, and they and their neighbours would enjoy bet- ter health and morally and physically would be superieor, if deprived of the use of that stimulant.' In such sections I believe the people are entitled to pro- hibition if the majority desire it, be- cause the traffic in intoxicating liquors is not like the trade in any other arti- cle." a The fact 'that Huron County, in the voting of 1919-21 and 1024, gave a Dry Majority of over 75;0o indicates it is such a section as Senator Scott ref e.r- red to. In order to secure this objective, Municipal Local Option was used from 1,906 to 19I and during that time, 14 of the Huron Municipalities out of 24, be: attire dry, tither by Local Option or no license, and the remaining 10, while they 'could get a 50% majority, were" not able to overcome the handicap of Born—In Walkerton Hospital, on Tuesday, August 20th,, to Mr, and Mrs. Leslie Edwards, a son.

The mumps, though of a mild type, are going their rounds, tically controlled oven at 27.5 degrees F., pints', 35 minutes; quarts 45 mins. The hot pack method differs from the cold- pack. After the peaches are prepared, that is, blanched, skinned, drained from the brine, halved or quar- tered and pitted, they are simmered for 45 minutes in the syrup and packed hot. The processing time is decreased because of this pre-cooking. Sealers of both sizes and tin cans are process- ed 15 minutes its the 'boiling water bath. If processed in the oven, 25 minnutes are allowed for pint sealers and 30 minutes for quart sealers, at 275" degrees F, The number of cold storage plants equipped with refrigerated locker , rooms is increasing considerably and rna.nny homemakers are Planning to take advantage of this method of pre- serving food. Peaches freeze well, provided a good firm and ripe fruit is used. After fruit is selected it is blanched, that is dipped in boiling water for 16 to 1 Minute, then dipped in cold water, the skin re- moved and the peaches halved and pitted. .Because peaches discolour r edify they require (MA careful hand- ling andspecial treatment to prevent darkenning. The addition of half a teaspoon of lemon juice 'to each cup of syrup to cover the fruite is added itrartediately. Syrup in the proportion of cup of sugar to 1% cups of water, as well as pray, for thread worn knees and a rusty hoe never raised a big crop yet. Mr, and Mrs. Wm.
