MEN MAY NOT
a." ENLIST IN OTHER SERVICE

OLYMPIA, Sept. 1.-Provost Mar
shall General Crowder in telegram
sent to Governor Ernest Lister today
says that drafted men are not ex'
empt from the penalty for failure to
report to Their local boards even II
they have enlisted in the army or
navy voluntarily. The government
comedies, according to the telegram
received by the governor, that the
navy department sent erroneous in
structions to its naval recruiting sta
lions relative to this matter.
General Crowder's telegram to
Governor Lister read:
"An erroneous instruction has been
sent by the navy department to nav
al recruiting stations, to the effect
that persons could voluntarily enlist
in the navy after having been called
by local board. The attention of the
navy department has been called to
this error and it is being rectifed by
Telegraph.
Inform all local boards that after
a person has been called he cannot
voluntarily enlist in the military or
naval service, and that such volun-
tary enlistment will not protect him
from the penalty of the law for fail
ure to report to the local board"

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
VISITORS
BY Farmer Smith

The morning after Billy Bumpus had
been rudely thrown out OF the tent he
awoke with tho sun shining in his eyes.
Everywhere he could see wagons and auto
mobiles. "Ah!" he was thinking, this Is
where l get something TO eat without being
bothered"
Billy walked around among the wagons,
looking here and there for something to
eat Finally, when no one was looking, he
climbed into wagon and started eating
the seat. 1t was so soft and dainty, he was
thinking. when he suddenly struck the
springs underneath the leather
81 wonder what those bouncy things are. p"
he was thinking, as he started to eat one
of the springs. Wont 1t be funny to have
my dear little stomach filled with springs
then what l eat will have lovely time
bouncing up and down. MY What a lot
of people l never saw so many in all my
life. This really looks like war"
Billy had finished eating the seat and all
the spring when he all at once decided TO
take a walk. He moved In and out among
the visitors and how proudly he walked
Every now and then some one would say
That's one of the mascots-he goes with
the army. They also have parrot and a
monkey. He is the cutest Of them all"
I'm tickled to death to think there Is
a monkey around this place am just the
boy to go and have some fun with him. y

which is approximately half the height.
The colon is sacculated like the colon of

the intestlnes to bulky food. Fresh vege-
tables of all wholesome sorts are highly
essential to give the food the necessary

testines.
Fruits and fresh uncooked vegetables are
used far less than they should be by the
majority Of people. especially by the poor.
The Russian peasant avoids constipation
by the use OF sauer-kraut. which serves
him the same purpose as the products of
the 'sllo" do the farmers cattle.
Vegetables, especially suth vegetables as
carrots. turnips. beets parsnIps lettuce.
cabbage and spinach, contain a large
amount Of celulose which is not readily
digestible by the human digestive organs
This celulose is highly important TO make
the. nutritive elements Of the food less con-
centrated and TO furnish to the intestines
the necessary stimulus to cause them to
move the food and food residues along at
n proper rate
Nearly all fruits and most vegetables
especially that curious vegetable fruit, the
tomato contain organic acids--citric. malic

tanning these acids is as wholesome for

Foundations

Tn THE building OF a home though ever
L so humble, IL Is of tho greatest i'm
portance that the owner become acquainted
with the essential points of construction
While this may seem impossible at first
glance. aftcr getting into the study OF 1t the
home builder can easily acquire sufficient
amount of knowledge to safeguard himself
against serious errors. He will flnd that
not alone will such study help him TO obtain
q better house, more economically built. but
II will render the building operation very
interesting and absorbing undertaking.
We will begin with the foundation;
II is certainly unnecessary to emphasize
that good foundation is Of primary I'M
portance. The quality of mortar used has
as much to do with lasting power and sta
bility OF the walls as the brick or stone
which holds IL together. Under no condi-
tion should material excavated from the
foundations be used for mortar, for the rea-
son that in ninety-nine cases out of hum
dred the earth coming out of an excavation
contains very large percentage OF clay
and only very small amount OF sand.
Sand. being the essential factor in the COM
position of good mortar is thereby vir-
tually eliminated and replaced by clay or
loan, which Is absolutely detrimental to
masonry of any kind.
There are n few cases in some localities
where sand is found In sufficient quantities
IL
however, what little sand is found Is mixed
with clay. Therefore the safe procedure
Is to insert in the specifications n clause
stpulating that mo excavated material is To
be used on this building for any purpose.
Whether of stone, brick or concrete, the
foundation should be of good material,
which. in tho long run. is cheaper to both
contractor and owner. for the reason that
the better grade of material is always more
easily applied by the contractor and GER
tainly gives more lasting results to the
owner.
When the foundation is of brick or stone,
the owner should see that his mason builds
under the wall footing which should pro-
ject about six inches beyond its face. This
is important and the extra cost Is almost
nothing. II II is built Of the same material
as that in the wall above. IL concrete
footing Is used under brick or stone wall.
as is very often done, IT will cost quite
a little extra and is no better than one Of
brick or stone. The excavation should
