SOME THINGS WORTH KNOWING

Grass stains on clothing should be
soaked in parafin. The garment may
then be washed as usual.
When boiling cabbage use plenty Of
water and put in a spoonful OF salt and
one lump OF sugar. Cabbage should be
boiled quickly and with the lid of the
saucepan.
Before frying bacon put the rashers
into boiling water for two or three
minutes. They plump out to twice
their original thickness and all chance
is removed OF their being too salt.
Tomatoes should always be skinned
before being used for salad. To do this
easily place the fruit in a basin, pour
boiling water JTsr II, then turn on

PITTSBURG, July 2S.-Theodore
Roosevelt. speaking here Thursday
afternoon before the big convention
OF the Order of the Moose. said that
America would pay heavily for her
'shortsighted apathy and foolish, self.
sufficient optimism" unless the coun.
try was Immediately awakened to the
fact that It faces mighty big Job.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the United
States had done virtually nothing so
far. "six months have elapsed since
We went to war with Germany and
nearly four months since we reluc-
family admitted that we were at war"
he said. We have at this time not a
single aeroplane fit to send across the
German lines, and months must pass
before we can manufacture such an
aeroplane. We have no heavy artil.
lery 10 put IN the battle line. and in
any serious engagement gallant Per,
shing and his gallant little force will
have to trust to French and English
guns. + 80
Look at what Germany did to Bel.
gium in the first thirty days of the
war? We would now be in exactly
the position of Belgium were 1t not
that we owe-uur safety-our ignoble
safety--to the British feet and the
British ana French armies.
"The simple truth, Is that, relatively
te the other great nations Of the
world, we have In this war exhibited
ourselves a miracle Of Ineffieiency;
and we shall always be inefficient
during the first vital months of any
war until We learn 10 prepare in ad.
vance.
I'VE announced that we were COM
ing to the help of the allies" said
Mr.. Roosevelt. "As matter of fact,
after six months, we owe our safety
solely to the fact that these hard.
pressed and war-worn allies protect us
with our lives. with their trained
bodies and perfected machines, while
we fuss and talk and with confused
hurry endeaVor to get ready to dc
something"
Mr. Roosevelt said that this utter
unpreparedness on the part OF Ameri
ca should furnish the real lesson OF
the war. THE prime fact to remem
ber." he said, 'Is our helplessness
after six months of war. The actual
event has shown that II we had not
been shielded by our allies n single
small German army OF a couple o.
corps would have conquered US ou
