The Draft Examinations.

Early returns from certain cities may
mislead one concerning the percentage OF
drafted men found physically defective.
The newspapers have been rather quick
to exploit sensational figures in certain
urban districts or in the mill towns,
without making the point that the aver
age for the country will level down
these abnormal exhibits of defective
physical manhood. Already it is stated
by the provost marshal general that the
scattering reports already received do
not indicate any increase in physical
exemptions over the Civil war average of
25.77. 1t will be well to await the com
| plete returns of the examining boards
before reaching any conclusions what
ever. The data finally accumulated in
the present draft concerning the physical
stamis of the young manhood of Amer
lea will have the very greatest value for
educational and scientific circles, as well
as for the military profession.
The large proportion of claims for cx-
emption by those whe pass the physical
examinations is not so disturbing as
might be supposed. While much is heard
about slackers, the truth is that there
are many men of draft age, physically
fit for military service, who are clearly
entitled to exemption under the princi. |
piles of the selective CONSUMPTION law No |
one would have them neglect to fire their |
claims from fear of being classed among
the slackers. Others there are whose
cases are near the border line, and GER
tainly should be passed upon by the ex-
emption boards in a spirit of complete
fairness and impartiality. 1he law was
justified, when it was enacted, on the
ground that it would equalize the bur
den of military service among the sec
tions and equitsbly distribute it among
the individuals of military fitness who
could be best spared from civil life. The
spirit of the law seems to require that
doubtful cases be passed upon by the
exemption boards without prejudice to
the claimants in the judgment of people
Of patriotic feeling.
1t will be found, undoubtedly, that
he overwhelming majority of those |.
whose claims to exemption are denied
will accept the decision of the exemption
boards gracefully and patriotically. They
will appreciate the fact that their cases

Clean Aluminium.

Unless an aluminium utensil is badl,
discolored, it is best to clean it by scour
ing. First clean all adhering food by
washing it in hot water with mild soap
If it is necessary to scrape, use wooder
spoon Your securing preparation should
contain no hard, sharp particles of grit
Ocean sand, which has rounded grains, is
an excellent securing agent for alumni
mum.
A mixture of equal parts of powered
whiting and alcohol with few drops OF
ammonia added, sometimes serves effec-
lively where aluminium ware has not
been badly discolored.
The action of vegetable acids on alu.
minum may be utilized in cleansing it.
A few pieces of green or canned rhubarb
added to quart of water and boiled in
a discolored aluminium kettle will give
good results. After kettle has been
cleansed in this way, it should be pol
ished to remove adhering particles of the
metallic compounds resulting from chem
ical action.
In cleansing aluminium ware never use
such strong household alkalies as wash
ing soda, potash, I've or even strong aka
line soap.--Irish World

Not as Good as in July.

The department of agriculture's August
crop report issued yesterday showed corn
prospects improved to the extent of o.
100000 bushels during July, indicating a
total production of 3.l9l 100000 bushels.
Wheat, however, shows a decrease of
25,o00,000 bushels. Spring wheat had a
bad month, and prospects decreased 40
000, 900 bushels, but winter wheat returns
indicated 100000 bushels more than
forecast in July. Wheat production,

bined, now is forecast at 653,000,000

Use More Macaroni.

Until the present time the value o
macaroni has not been fully realized, bu
now, when the prices of meat, potatoes
and other staple articles of food are be
yond the reach of the ordinary family
housewives are compelled to look fol-
substitutes, says the Irish World. Those
who have tried macaroni have been
pleasantly surprised for they little
dreamed of its possibilities. Not only
have they found it to be inexpensive and
.ighly nutritious, but unusually deli
cious.
For an indefinite period macaroni was
used exclusively in Italy, where it was
regarded as the national food, but of late
years it is being manufactured extensive
" in this country. When made of the
best wheat. it contains a large amount
of gluten and other heterogeneous COM
pounds, and for this reason its value as
an energizer cannot be surpassed. It has
l,665 calories of energy, while in steak
there are only $50.
In preparing macaroni for a meal, place
il in boiling sailed water and cook 10 or
IL minutes When done, pour off at
once and then blanch with cold water.
This will restore the original shape.
When boiling, genuine macsroni does not
become pasty and adhesive, nor does it
lose its tubular form. The hot water
which has been drained off may be used
in soups and sauces and the macaroni
NAV be combined with other foods in va
rious ways. The following recipes have
been tried and found excellent:
