The Kitchen Floor

A practical way of dealing with the
kitchen floor and at the same time
econOmiZing labor. is to cover it with a
plain, dark coIored linoleum, such as
red, blue. green or black, and to polish
it. A shiny surface is easy to sweep
up and keep clean. and if polished once
a week on the other days it need only
be run over with mop. If treated in
this way it will always look nice and
will save at least twenty minutes work

'ENLISTING
IN REGULARS
Is FALLING OFF
ALARMINcLY

There has been an alarming de-
crease in the enIistments in the reg
uiar army since the registration. The
false idea seems prevalent that yoiun
teer enlistment in the army is no long
er possible or needed whereas on the
contrary there is most urgent need
TO fill fifty-one regular regiments which
are now being organized.
Six hundred men are urgently need
ed from Colorado to complete its
quota for the infantry and field artiI-
lery. This quota must be reached
before June thirtieth.
The fact is that the men enlisting
now have better chance for promo
tion than those who enlist after nom
commissioned officer positions are
filled or after the conscripts are used
in filling up the gaps.
All able bodied white men of GOOD
character from eighteen to forty
years of age are eligible for enlist
ment.
First citizenship papers are not re-
quired unless the applicant is a citi-
zen of an enemy nation.
Major Barney of Denver who is in
charge of recruiting for the regular
army in this district will send trans
portation for any eligible men who
want 10 enlist. SO that they can get
to the nearest army recruiting sta
ton. A telegram sent collect to him
at Denver win receive immediate res

The enlistment is for the period of
the war only. Canon City men who
want to get into the regular army may
