BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS
American Library Association TO
Assume Responsibility For Sup
plying Cantonments = Mason
County Library VIII As.
slst In Collecting the
Books for the
Soldiers.

II you cannot fight at the front, you
can send a book to the man you are
sending to the front to do your fight
ing for you. The government has
asked the American Library Associa-
tlon to assume responsibility for sup
plying the camps and cantonments
with reading material. Every group
of soldiers, small as well as large, is
to have books. The Public Library
In this city has been asked to get
donations of books and magazines In
this county. These will be sent to
the various camps and cantonments
throughout the country and will be
made available to the soldiers, either
directly, or through such agencies as
have facilities for distribution Of
books.
II you will write in each book your
name and address, the soldier who
reads 1t will know that someone in
Maysville and Mason county ia his
friend and stands ready to help him.
The following is suggested as to
the books and magazines desired:
Poorly printed, uninteresting, OBJ
viously Out-of-date books, are not
worth shipping to the men. Type
should be good and clear and the
books in fair condition.
Books of good stories will be want
ed most, books of adventure, sea
stories, detective stories, historical
novels and collections of short stor-
les, especially humorous ones. Such
authors as Kipllng, Doyle, McCutch-
con, O'Henry, Stockton, Brandloss
Harrington, Hopkinson Smith, Open
helm, ETC., have been found popular
authors with men. Good poetry and
drama can be utilized.
All the men must be helped by
these libraries. Some of them have
not established reading habits. Some
of the books must therefore be light
and easily read.
| Foreign language study books, es
pecially French grammar and die.
tionaries, are much needed-possibly
| more than any other nonfiction books
In one camp nearly one-fifth of the
men are studying French. The,
should have easy readers and stories
besides their text books.
Books Of travel, biography and his
tory, especially lives of heroes ant
travels in the countries at war
Technical books on aviation, wire
less, telegraphy, submarines, auto
mobiles, signaling, first aid and by
giene, drawing and lettering.
| Ethical books on patriotism, cour
age, good citizenship, with ample non
sectaran devotional books.
| Fresh, attractive magazines are al
so desired-such as American, Cen
tury, Harper's, Everybody's Popula
Mechanics, Popular Science Monthly
Scientific American, Saturday Even
ing Post, etc. None over two year
old should be included
The material is needed at ono,
Why not select today the books whic

 AUTOIST TRIES SUICIDE.

FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash, Jan. B. Albert w. Blancett, who attempted to end his life here Sunday after being arrested on a charge of murdering Clyde D. Armour, of Sioux City, Iowa, his automobile travelling companion, near Las Vegas. N. M., last October, today told Sheriff George Mead that he did not kill Armour. Blancett of fered no excuse for shooting himself. He is fast recovering from the self inflicted gunshot wound in his neck.
 Amour's body never has been found, although Armour's brother-in-law, M. L. Sawyer, recently made an extended search for it. The New Mexico author ities alleged that Blancett represented himself as Armour and as such dis posed of Armour's personal effects and attempted to obtain money from Armour's relatives at Fresno, Califor- nia

AMERICAN DOCTORS
 NEEDED IN ENGLAND
(By Review Leased Wire)

LONDON, Jan. 4.-According to the Daily Telegraph, arrangements are being made to replace a number of young surgeons in British hospitals by Americans in order to enable Brit ishers to enter the army. There are hundreds of doctors of military age in home hospitals who wish to join the army, says the telegraph, but hitherto they have been denied the honor owing to lack of substitutes.
 With view to meeting the diff culty the Daily Telegraph continues, the army authorities some time ago. inquired of the medical authorities in the United States whether they could send to England attachments of young American doctors.
 Hundreds of young doctors in the United States, according to the Tele- graph, have volunteered to serve in the British army, but could not re- ceive a commission because they are not British practitioners. There is no barrier, however, to their practic- ing in Great Britain, says the news paper, and they are exactly the ma terial required to fill the places of English doctors who desire to go to the front The newspaper does not say how many Americans are likely to come but asserts that they may not run into many hundreds"
 It adds, however, that those who do come will be welcomed.

NEW WARsHIPS TO COST
 MILLION OVER ESTIMAE.
CBy Review Leased Wire)


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Congress probably will be asked by the navy de partment to increase the limit of cost for the new 8 knot scout cruisers nearly a million dollars. Of the four ships authorized by the last appropria- ton bill, only one contract has been awarded under the $5,OOO,O limita- ton. Re-advertised bids opened today showed only one offer for two ships. at price S9OO,0OO above the limit.
 Secretary Daniels and his counsel considered the situation without reach ing any conclusion. As the appIopria- tion act requires that the ships be un- der construction before March 29, it is impossible to fit government yards for the work in time. It is hoped. however, that with the price limit raised, ali three can be placed in private yards.

White furniture may be cleaned by
dissolving baking soda in warm water
a teaspoonful to pint of water--and
applying the solution to the furniture
with soft cloth, rubbing with dry
cloth afterward Fingermarks and dirt
are easily removed in this simple way.
Sweeping mating with an uncovered
broom is quite likely to split the fibre
of the mating. But if a soft Canton
flannel bag is tied over the broom and
wet in a little salt water-a handful
of salt to pail of water--not only will
the mating look brighter, but also the
fibre will be toughened by the salt.
To Mend Graniteware-Work a piece
of putty until it becomes soft. Take a
piece large enough to cover the hole and
put it over both inside and outside.
Place the utensil in slow oven and bake
until the putty is a deep brown color.

How to Preserve Strawberries.

In the June Farm and Fireside there
is an article which says:
"Strs wberries are a favorite fruit, but
must be given particular care in canning
if they keep well. Wash and drain the
fruit after hulling. While doing this,
have cans and lids both heating in hot
water. Measure the drained berries, and
for each quart of berries allow one cup
ful of white sugar. Place the sugar in
an aluminium or granite kettle, and add
few spOonsful of water to keep it
from burning until it melts. When the
sugar has boiled long enough TO drive
az air out of it, add the berries. As
these boil up gently, stir them down.
When they have boiled up the second
time, lift of the fire and can, taking the
cans from the warm water one at
time as you can; put on the lid before
filling the next can, tighten the lids, turn
the can upside down, and leave in that
position four or five days. The berries
then, when turned. viii resume their
proper position in the cans. never lose

BREAD IN THE HOME.
Government Specialists Test Its Value
and the Best Way of Preparing 1t.

II home. baked bread were uniformly
well made it would be used more extern
sively than at present in place of more
expensive foods, say specialists in the
United States department OF agriculture,
and this would be distinct economy.
From the standpoint of nutrition it
makes very little difference whether
breadstuffs are served in the form OF
bread or in the form of breakfast ce-
reals, side dishes with meat, or desserts.
A man engaged in moderate muscular
work can proitably consume about three
fourths of pound day of breadstuffs
in any one of these forms. This guam
tity is the equivalent of one pound OF
baked bread. As matter of fact, how
ever, it is not probable that in the aver
age family this quantity is consumed
and the deficiency is made up by the use
of more expensive substances. OF course,
bread alone is not sufficient for the
maintenance of health, but from both an
economical and a hygienic point of view
it should be used more extensively than
it usually is.
In new publication of the depart
ment, farmers bulletin s07, detailed d.
rections for the making of bread in the
home are given, together with a number
of convenient recipes for home made bis
cult, rolls and bread in which rice or po-
tatoes are used with flour. The bulletin
also gives score card, by means of
which it is suggested the housewife can
estimate the merit of her product.

Companion, in which he tells parents
what can be done by them to check the
effects of the scourge.
"a suitable BRACE" he says, SIS one of
the first needs of the little patient il
we wish to prevent further deformity
than the one that was caused by the
original paralysis itself. For instance,
when only the muscles in the fore part
of the leg have been paralyzed, the foot
is drawn out of shape by the strong well
muscles in the back of the leg. These
normal unparalleled muscles are con-
stantly working to draw the foot down
into position where it will not only
look awkward and unnatural but will
not render as much service in walking,
or any other use to which it should be
put Braces are therefore made which
hold the foot in its natural position.
This is true, of course, of other parts of
the body"
