Soldiers Without Uniforms.

Washington's armies, when they had uniforms, wore the familiar "Continen- tals'' of buff and blue or gray, but regi- ments from different states had for the most part uniforms of their own. The majority wore whatever clothes would protect them without regard for uni formity. One part of the American troops who received the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown were in uni form, but the most of them still wore rags of homespun.

Ill an announcement issued to- day, the exposition officials said: "The fact that the government is going to use our exposition as a means of get ting in touch with huge number of people, is the best evidence that the show is needed this year of all years.

 Plans for the Food Training Camp are rapidly taking shape. Especially valuable to the people will be the ex- hibits and demonstrations in this de- partment of the exposition.

 General Manager J. o. Orr, of the Canadian National Exhibition at To- ronto, says his fair has grown phe- nomenally since the opening of the war. W. I.

 The fact that the Eastern States Exposition and Dairy Show at Spring field, Mass, has volunteered its ser vices as a Food Training Camp to assist the government, is believed by these officials to augur we'll for the success oe the exposition from Octo- Der 12 to 20.

Death Warninq,

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his protest against the custom of telling a person who does not actually ask to know that he cannot recover. As that loving observer of mankind asserted, so must every one who knows whereof he speaks assert that people almost al- ways come to understand that recov- cry is impossible. It is rarely need full to tell any one that this is the case. When nature gives the warning death appears to be as little feared as sleep.
