I have today received a communica-

cannot return this year He was in

It is very difficult and almost fmpos-
sible to secure good men at this late
date If some means could be de-
vised for the appointment to be made
the same day that a suitable man is
located 1t might be the means of spar

over all other armies in the matter
of organization is admitted There are
those who believe that the mechanical
perfection which has destroyd individu-
alism in the German soldier would
place that army at a disadvantage in
battle with another army made up Of
resourceful men, able to rely upon
their own initiative Such theories
are comforting to the United States
and Great Britain, the only powerful ma
lions which depend upon volunteer en-
listment TO fill their armies. But IT Is
not pretended, even in England or the
United States, that any existing army
can compare with the German in the
business Of preparation for battle, IN
the business Of keeping the soldiers
well and healthy; or in its gneral pre-
paredness to meet with any possible
eyentuality Of war.
The German army is the most highly
organized body of men IN the world.

Washing With Clay.

A savage tribe in Africa daubs
cloth with clay, then rubs the dirt
out in the river. That's n good deal
like using a hunk of yellow soap
that Is made heavy with rosin and
stale grease. The rosln stays In the
cloth and keeps some of the dirt
with 1t, and then your clothes look
streaky. Hcwitt's Easy Task laund-
ry soap--the white soap made of CO.
coanut oil, boraX, naptha and whole
some tallow-takes the dirt out.
That's its demonstrating the dirt
out and driving disease germs away.

of it, and still II is but five cents
cake.
