Do You Read Labels?

Domestic science teachers and
Food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most states compel
food manufac turers to print the
Ingredients of their products on
the label, and this enables con-
sumers to distinguish hea1thful
foods from those which may be
de1eterious.

Wants Defenses Improved
President Wilson To Outline
PROGRAM in Speech Nov. 4.

IVSI Gill HI OPSOSh awe
Washington, Oct. 49, "A national de-
tense program that probably means an
expenditure on the Army and Navy OF
upwards of billion dollars in the next
six years will be laid before the people
by President Wilson November 4, when
he goes to New York to make his first
public address since the scope OF the
policy upon which his administration has
embarked became known.
He will speak before the Manhattan
Club, of New York, on national defense
and the reasons which have impelled him
to approve plans to about double the
navy and quadruple the trained fighting
forces ashore within few years.
With the estimates OF the War and
Navy Departments submitted for the
coming year, the breadth of the Admin
istrations' policy as to preparedness is
being realized.
1t shapes up in totals as follows:
Navy-For new ships and increased
personnel in five years, $500, $1,000.
Army-For reserve material (arns and
ammunition) within four years, $780,
600, 900.
For new coast defenses and moderni-
cation of old forts within four years,
$S1, 900, 900.
For the new Continental army and the
proposed increase in the regular army,
$26, 100000. This amount probably will
be a continuing and. if anything, in
creasing appropriation through the first
six-year period. which would make the
total expenditure at that time $ Sc, oOO,-
OOO)
The grand total expenditure thus act
ually planned would be $S42, 900, 900.
A definite step toward enlarging the
navy was taken today when contracts
were awarded for % of the fighting craft
authorized by the last Congress. They
are six big cruiser destroyers, 80 knot
boats, each to carry IL torpedo tubes,
four 4-inch guns and two 3-inch anti-air
craft guns and l6 coast defense subma-
rines, each displacing more than $50 tons
and each equipped with Sinch disap-
pearing rifle for surface fighting
Neither War nor Navy Department
estimates for the coming year have been
made public as yet in detail 1t was learn
ed, however, that of the $4,000, 900 in
crease over last years bill to be asked
by the War Department, SAG, 900, 900 will
go toward reserve material and coast de-
Tense works, the remaining $26, 900, 600
to be used in building up the new armies,
regular and continental. Part of this
SAG, 600, 900 will 60 into building and arm
ing the new forts which will guard the
entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.
Contracts will be awarded next month
for four subm arines, bigger, faster and
more powerful than any submersible craft
ever designed.
Of the $68, 900, 900 increase to be asked
for the havy next year, the bulk would
go into four big ships, two superdread-
naughts and two superbattle cruisers.
