two or three thicknesses of cheese
cloth placed over a funnel, or thin
layer of absorbent cotton over one
thickness of cheesecloth may be used

One straining should be. sufficient
ordinarily, but if the paraffin still Is
unclean, heat and strain again. Any
paraffin lodging in the strainer may
be recovered by heating the cloth and
pouring the hot liquid into another

AGAINST WAR BOARD
PRESIDENT WILSON HITS HARD
CONGRESS- EFFORTS.
CITES OMNIBUS PRECEDENT
Declares Creation of Committee to SUI
pervise Conduct of Hostilites
Would Make His Task lmpos-
sbIe-Cites Lincoln's Case.

Washington, July "a The president
hit hard at congress- effort to make it,
self jointly responsible with him fol-
the conduct of the war.
In letter TO Representative Lever
father of the food control bill, the
president asks elimination of the
Owen amendment, which created a
joint congressional committee to SUI
pervise the financial conduct of the
war.
Il could only interpret its final
adoption" the president wrote, "as
arising from lack of confidence in
myself" The letter reads:
Il am very much obliged to you for
your thoughtful courtesy in stating to
me the circumstances of the present
action on the food administration bill
and l am particularly obliged to you
for calling my attention to section Z3
Makes Task impossible.
81 deem it my duty to express my
opinion about that section and its eff
feet upon the whole administration of
the war very frankly indeed, since the
public interest manifestly demands
that do so.
Section % is not only entirely for
eign to the subject matter of the food
administration bill in which it is in
corporated, but would, if enacted into
law, render my task of conducting the
war Dra cticallV imnOSSihla
Il cannot believe that those who
proposed this section scrutinized it
with care or analysed the effects which
it's operation would necessarily have.
1.-THE constant supervision of execu-
tive action which it contemplateS
would amount to nothing less than IN
assumption on the part of the govern
ing body of the executive work of the
administration.
There is a very ominOus precedent
in our history which shows how such
a supervision will operate. l refer to
the committee on the conduct of the
war constituted by congress during the
administration of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t was
the cause of constant and distressing
harassment and rendered Mr.. Lincoln's
task all but impossible.
II am not, beg you to believe, in
any way questioning what might be
the motives or the purpose of the
members of such q committee; I am
ready to assume that they would wish
to cooperate in the most patriotic
spirit, but cooperation OF the kind is
not practicable In the circumstances.
Would Reflect on Wilson.
1.-THE responsibility rests upon the
administration. There are abundant
existing means of investigation and of
the effective enforcement of that re-
sponsibility.
II sincerely hope that upon the re-
consideration of this matter both
houses of congress will see that my
objections rest upon indsputable
grounds and that could only inter.
pref the final adoption Of section 23
as arising from lack of confidence In
myself. WOODROW WILSON"
The letter was written in response
to a request from Mr.. Lever. The
amendment was, put into the bill at
the last minute Saturday afternoon
1t was introduced by Senator Owen of
Oklahoma, a Democrat, but one who
has from time to time been opposed
to the administration.

Restores the Death Penalty at
Gen. KorniIoff'S Demand
GUNS TURNED ON TRAITORS
Loyal ArtilIerymen Turn Cannon on
Whole Division of the Eleventh
Army-Slaughter Ensued Un-

London, July 27.-Kerensky and
KornilOff, Russia's men of the hour,
met anarchy and disloyalty with blood
and iron.
Dispatches from Petrograd leave no
room for doubt that Kerensky's dicta-
torship is to be a real dictatorship
that he will sanction and approve ex-
IRENE measures when necessary to re-
store a Semblance of order out of
chaos which for time seemed to
threaten the complete disintegration
of the Russian armies and, indeed, the
Russian state.
Russian is now no longer an an
archistic Utopia; a place of impossi-
BILE freedoms that contained more of
license than of liberty. She is feeling
the strong hand.
Rules Workmen's Council.
Four outstanding things were in dis
patches from PetrOgrad things which
held out promise, in the opinion of OBJ
servers here, that Kerensky, with the
aid Of his military commanders, of
whom KOrniloff stands out, might yet
pull Russia through" These things
were:
l. Kerensky has acquired complete
ascendanty over the workmen's and
soldiers committee, so that it now
makes no attempt to issue DEGREES.
His command of the provisional gov
eminent is supreme. The ministers he
has gathered around him have agreed
completely so far with all his proposals
Gnd are supporting them to the ut
most.
2. His first act has been to restore
the death penalty for treason. This
action, taken with the consent of his
ministers, is designed to wipe out dis
affection in the army which has made
it's commanders pOwerleSS and which
has enabled the Germans to make their
gains in Galicia after the Russian army
had apparently regained its power as
q war machine.
8. A censorship of dubious newspa-
pers has been established. The papers
affected were guilty Of disseminating
appeals to disloyalty among the troops.
The new order provides for the sus-
pension of such papers.
Begin Counter-Attacks.
4. AS a result, the Russian army Is
again showing evidences Of resistance.
The Germans continue to strike ia Ga
licia, but in the Carpathians and Rou-
mania Russian and ROumanian forces
have opened a counter offensive ap-
sure on Korniloff's hard-pressed le-
gions, and has met with considerable
initial successes.
KornilOff himself has taken the most
his army. He wired to Kerensky
threatening to resign his command I'M
less permitted to order executions for
treason and cowardice among his men.
This forced Kerensky's hand.
After a hurried meeting of the pfo-
visional government the permission
was wired back KornilOff immediate
ly, according to press dispatches, or
dered his loyal artillery to turn their
guns on whole division of the Elev-
enth army Approximately $4,000 men).
A slaughter ensued unparalleled In the
history Of modern civilization.
The provisional government decided
to establish on all the Russian fronts
courts martial composed of three Off
GERS and three soldiers.

SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANTING

To successfully transplant great
deal of care is necessary. Observe
these few important simple rules:
If possible, choose a cloudy day for
this work. or do it in the evening. Wa
ter the plants so that the soil Is thor
oughly saturated; then lift the seed
lings carefully with plenty of soil and
gently separate the plants.
With a sharp knife remove about
two-thirds of the leaves and stems and
then puddle the roots. On no account
should the sun reach the roots, even
for a moment.
The holes should be ready to receive
the plants. Fill them with water and
set the plants firmly into the soil,
pressing the soil carefully about the
plants-drawing dry soil on top Of the
wet soil.
If the sun shines shade the plants
for few days.

DESTROYING MORNING
GLORlES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

The field morning-glory resembles
the cultivated kind and unlike the bind
weed, grows only from seed. We find
four varieties Of morning -glories on
our lowland farms, so the only remedy
is to prevent the seeding.
The field bindweed is a morning
glory with small flowers and vinelike
stems that entwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the plow or cultivator form
new plants, until in short time the
cornfield is completely covered.
They start so early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough to
cultivate, the rows are so hidden that
they must be cleaned out with hoe be-
fore cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pea-vine, morning-glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and more
slender vine than the other varieties.
In the central states we find still an
other of the prolific pests. This is the
wild sweet potato or man-of-the-earth
vine. Its roots resemble in shape the
cultivated sweet potato, but are much
larger and penetrate far below the
plowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet po-
tato.
The plow only serves as means of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
of roots, which grow new plants. Cow
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which for
tunately is not so common as the other
varieties of morning-glory..
Hogs are very fond of the roots and
are great help in cleaning up badly
infested ground. Flowing during July
and August prevents the plants from
growing again in the same season and

The department Of military relief
Of the American Red Cross has Or
ganized a Red Cross supply service,
with a chain of warehouses in the
principal cities of the country. This
supply service, with branch headquar-
ters in New York, Boston, Chicago,
Denver, New Orleans and San Fran
cisco. will cooperate with patriotic
and relief societies in the forwarding
Of all soldiers comforts and hospital
supplies made by volunteer workers
throughout the country.
Agents of Red Cross supply service
are to be stationed in every military
training camp and at every army base.
''These men will supervise the distri-
button Of supplies arriving from Red
Cross depots," says the circular re-
leased for publication April 30, by the
Red Cross. When Red Cross chapters
or auxillaries have made hospital sup
plies, surgical dressings, hospital gar
ments, comfort and saving bags. or
whatever they have elected to make
for the men Of the army and navy,
these supplies are to distributed
through the Red Cross supply service,
and should be forwarded to the ware
house nearest the point of their pro-
duction.
The necessity for such a service Is
very evident. When supplies are
