Onion Juice.

Cook hooks usually say that onion
juice should be extracted nv cutting
an onion In two and rubbing the cut
surface against a crater. Considering
how hard 1t Is to wash a crater. this
method has its drawbacks. Small
amounts of juice ma! be obtained in
the following simpler way: Peel the
onion and extract few drops Of Juice
by pressing one side with the dull

General Wood S Criticism

WASHINGTON, November %
Major General Wood. chief Of staff.
paints a gloomy picture of the lack of
preparedness Of the American army t.
ease Of war, in his annual report, made
public today.
There were weak spots in many d.
rcctions, he said, but most serious was
the shortage Of field artillery and am
munition, fault that should be imme-
diately corrected.
General Wood said there was a great
lack Of reserve seacoast ammunition,
and that at the present rate of appro-
priatIon by congress it would take more
than fifty years to obtain a reasonable
supply for the coast defense, and still
longer time to obtain the necessary
field artillery and ammunition.
If the regular army and organized
militia at war strength were called to
arms today said General Wood, there
would be a shortage of more than fifty
per cent in the field artillery necessary
to equip them. This force would repre-
sent only a portion of the men called
to arms in ease Of war with a frst-class
power
General Wood strongly urged the
passage Ey congress Of the pending bill
for raising a volunteer army IN time
of war. He said this would cost moth
ing in time of peace and would save
the government millions of dollars in
time Of war.
