Notwithstanding has been said
and written since the European war
began as to military preparedness
of the United States. Organizations
whose purpose is to encourage prepar-

been organized in all parts of the

100000. OF this total, as great almost
as the total OF all the armies now
fighting in Europe. only sixty-one hun
dredths OF one per cent are in tho

means that more than l6.S00000 are

To get an idea of the situation, a
rev lOrk Times representative was
permitted a few days ago to read
some of the government reports on
the condition OF the militia. The re-
suit was startling. Ir more than a
score of states there is no field ar
tillery OF any sort. and in the whole
country there are fewer than 40 off,
GERS of ordnance. In 35 states there
are no organizations trained for coast
artillery, "a have no cavalry. a large
majority are without signal troops.

with face powder in her desire to hide
a faulty or an aging skin. Instead of
using powder, which clogs and en-

use good face lotion that will inn

skin. BY dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in half pint Of hot water
you can make an inexpensive lotion
that will do wonders as skin whit
