WILSON SEEKS FIRST
HAND NEWS OF WAR
Those from Fighting Fronts Find Warm
Welcome from the Chief Execu-
tive Of Nation.

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-From a num-
Der of prominent Americans recently re
turned from European war fronts Presi
dent Wilson is gathering first hand testi-
mony concerning conditions there and
among civilian populations of Americas
allies Men who have made observation
within the last few weeks across the
water have been welcome visitors to the
White House where they have been piled
with questions by the President.
Of special interest to Mr.. Wilson, ac-
cording to most of these callers, are rep
reservations on the spirit of the civilians
whose morale has such tremendous effect
on the enthusiasm Of their armies.
How do the people TALK"
What do they Think
How strong is their determination to
win the war;
These are typical queries to which the
President is reported as seeking full an
swers.
SO far the answers almost universally
have been that the great mass of civilians
OF France. England, Russia, Italy and
other allies want no cessation of the war
until Germany's menace is removed.
Russia holds the Presidents special in
terest. DIR. Frank Billings, the Chicago
physician, who headed the American Red
Cross special mission to that country
gave him strong assurance that the Rus
sian common people wish passionately for
| the defeat of German militarism and in
trigue and have little thought of counting
peace until that result is accomplished
The radical Bolsheyiki pacifists, he said
are small minority and their activity
is influenced by German agents.
William Allen White, Kansas editor, 6
White House visitor few days ago, tolc
Mr.. Wilson that food riots in Italian
cities were caused by popular feeling
against bankers and food manipulation
and did not reflect dissatisfaction Will

Canning Fruit Without Sugar.

Fruits for use in pie or salads or as stewed
fruit can be put up or canned without
the use of any sugar at all, according to the
canning specialties Of the department
They therefore advise those who, because
of the high price of sugar, have been think
ing Of reducing the amount Of fruit they
put up, to can as much of their surplus as
possible by the use of boiling water when
sugar syrup is beyond their means Any
fruit, they say, may be successfully
sterilized and retained In the pack by
simply adding boiling water, instead of
the hot syrup. The use of sugar, of course
is desirable in the canning of all kinds of
fruits and makes a better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover, most of the
fruits, when canned in water alone, do not
retain their natural flavor, texture and
color as well as fruit put up in syrup
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweetened
Can the product the same day it is picked
Gull, stem or seed, and clean the fruit by
placing it in a strainer and pouring water
over it until it is clean. Pack the prod
uct thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans
until they are full; use the handle of a
tablespoon, wooden ladle or table knife
for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit

and caps in position. partially seal If using

DON'T WANT SOB MOVIES.
Soldiers Have no Liking for Pictures
of Home. Mother, and Heaven.

Tastes in moving pictures afford
fair index of mental condition, develop
ment, and ideals. Probably few of the
producers gauge their public correctly,
but the public at least knows what it
wants, and those who affront it are
losers whether they realize it or not.
The observant outsider, of philosophi-
cal turn of mind, may safely say, 80 Tell
me what kind of picture YOU like, and
| will tell You how much brains or saw
dust there is in your skull.
Take the soldiers, for instance. One
of the able workers who are giving
their efforts to the task OF providing
wholesome amusement for Uncle Sam s
men in uniform has summed up thus
the likes and dishkes of the men in
camp:
The men don I want sob stuff They
do not want pictures Of home, mother,
and heaven. At the same time they
do not like pictures depicting the sol
der as being especially heroic or pa
triotic
On the other hand, they like roman.
ces. Little Mary Pickford is Just as
popular with the men in the camps as
she is with the millions Of movie fans
| The men like real war pictures. They
like farces. IN fact. they are working
hard, and they want entertainment
This sounds authentic. 1t is about
what we should have expected of the
wholesome, healthy young men who ar,
now in training. 1t is not surprising
to learn that reports from the various
army departments are practically id>n
teal in this regard. They do not con
slider themselves to be heroes, and the,
do not want to be sobbed over, nor d,
they want to sob. They are ordinar,

Next cut the ligaments where the

This sewers the leg. The "oyster, =
which is a choice rich bit of dark meat,
is found at the end of the side bone to-
ward the tail in a bone depression. It
may be carved out at this point.
To remove the wing, first make an
incision at the joint, and as soon as
you find the point of division between
the two bones cut down sharply.
To cut thin slices from the breast,
begin close to the place from which
the wing is removed. Then work up
to the ridge of the breast bone. Many
carvers attempt to make the first slices
from the breast the largest; this is a
mistake.
At this point the fork can be re-
moved and used with the knife to
separate the drumstick from the thigh
Locate, as with the wing, the point at
which the two bones can be severed

Principal futile of the Bellows Falls

told the boys to win if they could win
right, but if they couldn t win right to

The principal Of Windsor high, who is
also the athletic coach, expressed his
intention to Coach Stolte to send a
track team TO the Brattleboro meet in
the spring. He also expressed his adj
miration for the clean athletics this

Coach Stoltc, while in Springfield last
week visiting Springfield college was
given an opportunity to get behind the
training school football team in its
workout for Saturdays game with
Worcester Tech. His recognized knowl

he passed the boys undoubtedly proved
! beneficial.
Some of the passengers on the trair
seemed greatly annoyed because the

while on the homeward journey. Boys
will be boys and they had something
really to rejoice over. Trainmen sug

WINTER AND SPRING TONIC

Winter is a hardseason for those who
have no stored up reserve OF strength.
The coming of trying spring weather
means sickness Tor many because de-
bility robs the system OF its power to
protect itself.
One person may suffer exposure to
cold and wet without any i'll effects
while another whose blood is thin and
whose nerves are rundown will be con-
fined to bed after sitting in draught.
Keeping the blood built up is the
secret of keeping well in winter and
spring. DR.. Williams Pink Pills for

venient tonic for the blood. Put up
with complete directions for use they
are a family remedy that can be de-
pended upon in conditions OF thin

The blood goes to practically every
part of the body and if it is rich and
red it carries health and strength to
every organ. The digestion is toned
up. the nerves are strengthened and

A Free Prescription You Can Have
Filled and Use at Home

Philadelphia, Pa Victims of eye strain
and other eye wea knesses, and those who
wear glasses, will be glad to know that
according to DR.. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
says. after using it Il was almost blind
Could not see to read at all. Now l can
read everything without my glasses and
my eyes do not hurt any more. At night
they would pain dreadfuIly. Now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like a
miracle to me- A lady who used it says:
The atmosphere seemed haZy with or
without glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for Is days everything seems
clear. l can read even fine print with
out glasses" Another who used it says:
II was bothered with eye strain caused
by overworked. tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. l have worn glasses for
several years both for distance and work,
and without them l could not read my
own name on an envelope or the type
writing on the machine before me. l can
do both now and have discarded my long
distance glasses altogether. l can count
the tiuttering leaves on the trees across
the street now, which for several years
have looked like dim green blur to me.
l cannot express my joy at what it has
done for me-
1t is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them in reason
