NEW LEGGINGS FOR
THE u. s. MARINES

Following the suggestion of the
Allied and American officers who
have recently served on the western
front, the United States marines are
experimenting with a new type of
logging to be worn with their new
winter field uniform. 1t will replace
the present type Of Logging made of
canvas.
A puttee with bound edges and
simple wrap that may be easily ad-
justed has been suggested and is now
under consideration of the mahine
corps officials. 1t will embody all
the good points of the various kinds
of leggings used by the allied armies
in the field. The new puttee is as
nearly perfect as modern ingenuity
can make it and IL adopted will make
the marines winterfield most d.
stinctive uniform.

PEOPLE EAT ALFALFA
Scientists Now Able to Make Palat-
able Flour Out of 1t.

Lawrence, Kan, April 26.-Alfalfa
flour, a latent food source that has
been impractical because of alfalfa
color, is giving way to science in ex-
periments in the department of home
economics of the University of Kan
sas. These experiments have elimi-
mated both objections and alfalfa
bread and biscuits of fine flavor and
quality and high food value have been
made in the department.
The bread has none of the "weedy"
taste of previous fiours and the green
color is entirely absent. This was ac-
flour the chlorophyll or coloring mat
ter said Prof. Elizabeth Sprague
head of the department, who directed
the experiments. Chemical analysis
showed that the bleached alfalfa flour
lost none of its food properties by the
process.
The very restricted food variety the
poor have these days means that their
food lacks necessary mineral or ash
constituents, Miss Sprague said. These
constituents are lost to some extent by
milling wheat flour. Alfalfa flour has
them and puts them into the bread.
When the same quantity of alfalfa
flour was added to whole wheat flour
the mineral content was increased
about 80 per cent and the protein con-
tent about 20 per cent making a much
more nutritious bread in each case.
Mixed with corn meal, alfalfa flour
increased the protein content even
more, about 35 per cent. and the ash
content about SO per cent. In any case
the food value of the bread was much
higher, said Miss Sprague.

ON VOLUNTEERS
System Would Favor Kaiser. Well
Known TOpekan Asserts.

To Editor State Journal
1t is a question whether ignorance
of the facts or stubbornness in follow
ing wrong course once taken impels
the editor of the morning paper to re-
peat the false statement that the vol
unteer system has enabled the United
States to win every war in which she
has fought
This country has been engaged in
only two great general wars involving
all our resources; the war of the revo-
luton, waged to establish the union
and the so-called Civil war, waged -
maintain the union. Both of them
were made successful by aid of mill
tary CONSUMPTION.
In the spring of 1863 volunteer
enlistments had practically ceased
President Lincoln urged upon the
country the necessity of a draft and
congress readily assented. Under this
law General Frye, who had charge Of
its enforcement, put one million one
hundred thousand soldiers into the
union ranks. Had it not been for this
law our cause would have lost out and
the union would nave been disrupted.
At the time of the passage of this law
there still existed a strong union senti-
ment in the north but the question
arose: "Why should a few of us enlist
suffer all the risks of war at nominal
pay, while the great majority remain
safely at home making money and
reaping the rewards of our work? We
are ll-equally interested in a common
cause which is of vital moment and
each should share alike in the risk.
There is only one means by which this
can be brought about and that is by
draft. Then the shirkers and copper
heads will be forced to take an even
chance with us" This argument is as
conclusive when applied to the present
situation as it was then.
Lincoln in his appeal said: Those
who desire the rebellion to succeed
are opposed to the draft and it may
be said with equal certainty that those
who desire the kaiser to succeed are
today opposed to the draft. Why?
Because it is certain to bring results
favorable to the allies.
The South made its gallant strug
gle in the Civil war because universal
military CONSUMPTION prevailed among
the whites: and England, with some
of her provinces, is making her pres
ent great effort by aid of social con-
scription, more effective than any
law.
If there is a general sentiment in
favor of the volunteer system as
against selective military CONSUMPTION,
then why do not the six hundred
thousand volunteers who are being
called to fill up the ranks of the
national guards and the regular army
flock to the standard?

INTENDED TO RETREAT
Keep Fighting Line Movable and In
tact, Germany's Plan.

Amsterdam. April 26.-The ententes
heaviest attacks have failed; German
yielding at certain points has been in
line with a definite plan of keeping
the fighting line moving.
This is the critical explanation of
western front conditions made today
by the critic, Major Moraht, in the
Berlin Tages Zeitung. Dispatches
from Berlin quotes his elaborate ex-
PLANTATION in part as follows:
THE Germans aim even at the cost
of abandoning their dead and some
material, to even portions of their
positions and to maintain their own
strength while destroying the enemy
and preventing his breaking thru
Hence there is the necessity that we
keep the fighting line movable
yielding at some points furnishes OPP
portunitieS for destructive counter-at-
tacks. This aim has so far been fully
attained. The first and greatest en-
tente attacks have failed. Further
attempts will be made, but our conf
dence is undiminished."

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hatr and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last every one in the family for
months.-Advertisem
