The fourteen men already sent to
Camp Funston are now wearing over
alls. A dispatch from there says:
The boys in khaki do not apply
to the first quota of the new National
Army, assembling at Camp Funston.
A more apt description would be the
boys in blue since the first quota is
to be trained temporarily in blue
denim overalls and jumpers, because
the regular army outfits did not ar
rive.
Lieut.. Col W. W. Whiteside, camp
quartermaster, yesterday obtained 1000
suits Of overalls from the Fort Riley
quartermaster and has ordered $500
more from a Kansas City firm. The
Cantonment Quartermasters' Depart
ment has plenty of underwear, hats,
shoes, socks and mess kits, but no
trousers, blouses or shirts have ar
rived.
Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood, in COM
mand of the Camp Funston canton
ment, proposed to the War Depart
ment that the entire National Army be
equipped with overalls, to be used as
working clothes. but his proposal was
refused. However. the emergency at
his own camp gave him the opportuni-

IRKUTSK, Siberia, Sept. Sum
flower seed is delicacy much rel
ished by Russian soldiers. At rail-
way stations where bodies of troops
are waiting the platforms are always
Uttered with the shells of the sun
flower seed. On troop trains the men
can be seen cracking the seed between
their teeth and chewing kernels
which they extract dexterously with
their tongue.
Peasant women sell the sunflower
seed about the railway stations Just
as popcorn and peanuts are sold at
American stations. Many persons
crack SO many sunfiower seeds that,
they wear notches in their front teeth,
which enable them to grip the seed
more tightly and crack them with
greater speed.

years from now, so far as anyone can
see, 1t may be nearer 100000. For
America has taken oath that not until
kaiSeriSm has been blotted from the
earth will the war end.
Those boys of ours who are over
there, and the others who are going,
need all the help and encouragement
and aid the folks at home can posi-
bly, give them. That is why the Red
Cross. instead of combining itself to CIV
ing them hospital treatment after they
have been hurt or are sick, is giving
and doing everything possible to make
Christmas enjoyable for them. Not
man in all 'Black Jack" Pershing's
army, will be without some reminder
Of the people at home for whom he is
fighting. Not man in any one of all
tered all over the United States will
be without genuine Christmas-even
to Christmas tree. The Red Cross
has gone into the Santa Claus business
wholesale, as it goes into everything
1t undertakes.
And that is why every man, every
woman, every child, owes it to him
self and to the soldiers and sailors to
become member of the Red Cross. A
campaign is being carried on to enlist
100000 new members of the Amer
lean Red Cross, which will make it five
times as large and ten times as rich
and powerful as any other Red Cross
in the world.
1t is because of the millions and mil
lions of American boys who are going
over to France that the whole Amer
lean people has got to join the Red
Cross in helping care for them. A few
hundred thousand can be looked after
by the present membership; but multi

1t has been great sport this year to
fix up the Christmas packets, and write
the little personal note that goes with
each one, and picture to ones self the
pleasure with which the unknown sol
der in France will hail the gift from
the home land. For there has been no
real fighting-only trench raid or so,
In which only few lives were lost
fewer, in all likelihood, than would
have occurred in the natural course of
events If they had remained in civil
life. So, while there was sorrow for
the brave fellows who went down fight
ing, and for those others who were
slain in the submarine brushes with
the Germans, there was not the over
whelming grief that comes after every
great battle.

fat, and If not strained out will.

blacken the fat. Such fat does not
give attractive looking food; If the

heating Of the fat itself, the food
loses in wholesomeness by so much.
Fat strained each time after use, and
