Over lO.OOO are reported to have heard tHe food gospel which was spread by women of the Long Island Food Reserve Battalion.
ISome of the tangible results from the six-day "canning special," as it ¦was known, came in the way of a largely increased acreage planted with food crops, the establishment of about two dozen canning kitchens and can¬ ning cubs, besides greatly stimulat¬ ing the individual housekeepers in canning and preserving fruits and vegetables on a scale never undertaken before.
On July 8th, next, another food conservation train—the "V'ictory Spe¬ cial," will start on a twelve-day tour of Long Island. The railroad manage¬ ment is co-operating with the New York Food Commission and the Ha^ne ¦Economic.') Department of Cornell University. The conservation move¬ ment also has the hearty endorse¬ ment of the United States Food -A^d- ministration.
The train will consist of two cars, an exhibit and a demonstration car. : The exhibit car will contain, among other things, samples of canned foods, and cooking equipment of especial in¬ terest to housekeepers. A fireless cooker, made from materials which can be obtained for a nominal ."ium, ^will be one of the feature exhibits. iFruit and vegetabl driers will be dis¬ played, aiso home-made iceless refrig¬ erators.
The "Victory 'Special," immediately upon its arrival at a scheduled stop¬ ping point, will be opened for exhi¬ bition and information purposes. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day, a demonstration in the usea of wheat substitutes, in breads, muffiins, cakes, puddings, pastries, cookies, etc., will be given by Miss Lucille Brewer and iMiss Alice M. Blinn, two cooking ex¬ perts from the Department of Home Economics of the New York State College of Agriculture, who have been especially sent with the train to teach the women of Long Island how test ¦to help their country by conform¬ ing with the newest food regulation.s. The demonstrations will include ways of preparing other conservation food.s and the most approved mebhods of canning and preserving vegetables and fruits. More than one hundred persona can be aceommodatod com¬ fortably in the demonstration car.

PHINEAS A. SEAMAN Sliori'T of Nassau County
was one of the first men selected to enforce the jirovisions of the compu - sory education law. He was elected a constable of North Hompstea.i tO'A'n- ship for several successive terms and
, served for twelve years. He ol)tJ»ined the distinction of being the first cm- stable to put the first prisoner in the
I Nassau County jail.
I When Franklin A. Coles was elect¬ ed district attorney of the county he
] appointed Seaman county detective,
j which position he held for six year?. In 1914 Seaman was again appoint- ei to the position by then District Attorney I^ewis J. Smith, and served until 1917, when he took his present office.
During his career as an officer, .Sheriff Seaman has taken part in r.Kiny famous cases, and at times has disp ayed renarkable cleverness and skill in running down and arresting criminals. In his work he has travel¬ ed through nearly every state in the Union.
.Si-.eriff Seaman figured in the fa¬ mous case of Blanche de Saulles, when he arrested the Chilian heiress at her home last August after she had shot her husband, John L. de Saulles. He was the man to get most of the ev- idence against Frank Sniegoski, now in jail, charged with murdering his wife. The incriminating evidence against John Supe, who is now in Sing -'ing for shooting a fellow laborer at Westbury was obtained by the sheriff and many other law breakers have •en put behind the bars as a result of Seaman's efforts.
While a busy man, Sheriff Seaman has given time to developing » large! tract of land apposite the jail. Here j is raised produce to supply the jail j inmates with food near.y all winter. This year the jail garden has been enlarged and with the expert help of Keeper George Hoffman, the sheriff e.xpects to raise a record crop.
