Guard proper at the close of the war
will be nothing like as large as al
600 men. OF course. many
of the men who go through the war
safely will re-enlist for peace time
service.
For "Period Of War;"
What is true of the National Guard
in this respect also is true of the reg
ular army, twO-thirds of which is com
posed Of men who volunteered their
services for the period Of the war, and
cannot be held after peace is declared.
The terms of thousands Of other men
will have expired and they also must
+, be released.
1t will be recalled that the formal
announcement of the war department.
in defining the new organization, spe-
, officially stated that 1t was for "over-
seas service" 1t Is but fair to as
sumo that this organization Is not now
intended to be permanent and that
there will be no disposition to main-
tain National Guard units as now Or
ganized after peace comes.
In fact, Secretary Baker has re-
peatedly informed the newspaper men
that all plans for the army are tenn
pOrary, or "for the period OF the war"
Congress took particular pains to spe-
city that the selective draft law ap-
piled only to the war period and was
not to be considered as an approval
of the principle of universal military
training as a permanent policy.
1t is freely predicted that the men
who do the fighting in France will
see to 1t that congress provides for q
permanent system Of universal mill
, tary training. When the National
Guard troops returned from the Dor
der they were almost unit In de
manding universal legislation as
matter of common sense and element
ary justice.
Even with a system Of universa
military training in vogue, 1t wa!
pointed out, the National Guard would
not necessarily be eliminated.

BUTTER WITH CHEESY TASTE
Trouble Usually Due to Decomposition

Where Salt 10 Low.

Cheese taste in butter Is usually due
to decomposition Of curd. 1t Is most
likely to appear in butter made from
cream which has become too sour or
It may also be due to failure to wash
the buttermilk and curd from the but

velop more frequently in butter which

II 1t has been the practice to allow
the cream to become quite sour be-
fore churnIng, churning before so much
acid has developed may help to rem
edy the trouble. When churning has
been completed, draw on all of the
buttermilk then add to the butter In
the churn an amount of water equal
to that of the buttermilk. The temper
ature of the water should be about two
degrees less than that Of the butter.

lions In order to rinse the butter thor

This removes the surplus buttermilk
and curd In the butter. 1t Is also q
good practice to strain the cream a. 1t

If ever YOU find yourself environed

loss how to extricate yourself, do
what is right, and be assured that that
will extricate you the best out of the
worst situations. Tho you can not
seek when you take one step, what will
be the next, yet follow truth, justice
and plain dealing, and never fear their
leading you out of the labyrinth, in
the easiest manner possible. The knot
which you thought gordian one, will
unite itself before you. Nothing is SO

gentle, they would look to themselves
instead of to men.
They would organize. And, once
organized, they would not beg men or
the state for justice-they would take
it.
Instead of meekly and thankfully
accepting the paltry sum of ten dol
lars for a weeks wages, they would
demand and get the same wages that
men receive for the same service.
Be it said to the everlasting credit
of the international Typographical
Union, it was the first organization to
insist that there should be no differ
ence in the wages paid to men and
women for similar service. AS a re-
suit of this wise and honorable policy,
women printers working on union
morning newspapers in Los Angeles
receive $33 a week, the same as men
receive, while women working on the
non-union Times receive any sum Otis
sees fit to pay.
Isn't it pity that the labor union
is the only agency in all the world
that demands economic justice for
women?
And isn't it strange that women, as
a rule, cannot see this?
Women, why do you look to your
EMPLOYERS and to the state for help !?
Why don't you help yourselves?
