q LOUIS TEAM WEAKER THAN
 USUAL
(By United Press)

ST. LOUIS, March IA. - There are the same old disappointments, the same old rocks and the same old sec ond division finish ahead for the St. Louis Cardinals. Nothing else can be said. The team, if anything, is weaker this year than last, which is saying considerable.
 Miller Huggins has some good ball playerssrunning around for him. There is Roger Hornsby, the amazing youth who disputed the, batting champion ship of the National League last year. There is Willie Doak and there is Mule Watson. Both are excellent pit chers. But they cant win a pennant by themselves, nor with the help of the crew that is helping. First base seems to be just as much a problem as ever for Higgins, with the proba- bility that Butler and Snyder will al. ternate on the job just as in former days. Betzel or Butler for second base, Hornsby or Miller for shortstop, and Hornsby or Miller for third base seems to be about all that can be said for the infield. Miller, Wilson and Bob Bescher, none of whom has knocked the populace still with his antics for some years, are carded for outfield duty.
 The catching staff is nothing to en. thuse over. with Snyder and Gonzales to do the bulk of the work. In the pitching staff, and there alone, seems to be any fame that the Cardinals may lay claim to. Willie Doak is a real star. If he is in the top form he will win a lot of games and he will have plenty of help from Lee Meadows midget star, and Mule Watson, the huge recruit from Texas. Recruits gobbled up by the midget leader oi the St. Louisans do not promise any thing sensational. A good finish in the second division would be victory for Huggins.

CODY, Wyo., March 17.-Plans for the erection of statue for Buffalo Bill' - Colonel William F.

The local organization anticipates no difficulty in raising the full amount needed.
 An association, incorporated under the name of "The Buffalo Bill Memo rial Association" has been formed. and active plans have been laid for soliciting subscriptions for the memo rial.

B|G ENROLMENT PHYSICIANS IN
 CASE WAR
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Ill, March IT. - Should open hostilities be declared between the United States and any other na- tion the government would have at hand ready for instant duty a force of more than 21,0OO physicians and surgeons thoroughly equipped for me dical reserve work. In addition those on whom would rest the brunt of di- recting the land and sea forces of the nation would have the benefit of a knowledge of all the most modern me Ss.o~4N p1ov1us.se, -.. of vast armies, of treating gunshot wounds, or the more terrible injuries inflicted by bursting shells, poison gases and the other deadly accompani- ments of modern warfare.
 The medical reserve work is broad ly under the direction of Dr. Frank lin H. Martin of Chicago, member of the advisory commission for national defense and chairman of the commit tee on medicine and general santa tion. Already this committee, sitting with the advisory commission and the cabinet members who form the council for national defense, has had placed before it in detail review of the methods used in European war hospitals with particular emphasis on the most effective ways of dealing with the various problems in both the French and German hospitals.
 The medicine committee selected by Or. Martin is composed of William c. Gorgas, surgeon general of the army; William c. Braisted, surgeon general of the navy; Rupert Blue, surgeon general of the public health service; Colonel Jefferson R. Kean, director general American National Red Cross Dr. Frank r. Simpson, chief of the medical sector of the commission for national defense, and Dr. William J. Mayo, of Rochester Minn.
 For more than year before the appointment of the advisory commis- sion work for medical preparedness had been done by joint committee appointed by various medical associa- tions which began the work of tabu- lating the national resources in hos pitals and medical supplies; appointed sub-committees in the several states and sought to have at least one prac- ticing physician and surgeon in each county enrolled for medical reserve duty. Dr. w. J. Mayo is chairman of this committee. Dr. Frank F. Simpson, of Pittsburg. is its secretary, and Dr. Franklin H. Martin is & member. All three are members of the medicine and sanitation committee of the advis- ory commission. Other members of the joint committee are: Dr. George w. Grille of Cleveland, Dr. George E. Brewer of New York and Dr. Edward Martin of Philadelphia.
 Similar preparatory work is being done by the other committees of the advisory council, which include one on labor, another on transportation and communication, third on science and research. fourth on raw mater. ials, minerals and metals, a fifth on
 munitions and manufacturing, and a sixth on supplies.

The schooIroom Voice.

The "schoolroom voice." has long
been term of reproach. Teachers
may not be able to improve the quail
ity of their pupils voices, but they
can do a great deal toward getting
pupils TO speak in an easy and nat
ural tone of voice, which will still be
audible not only TO the teacher, but
also to the pupils in all parts of the
room. In addition. constant attention
should be given. day in and day out,
to matters of clear articulation, correct
pronunciation. and right infection. By
making the conditions of the recita-
ton such that the pupils get the feel
ing that they are actually talking to
one another with the intention of i'm
parting information, or opinions, and
not merely "reciting" to the teacher to
prove they have learned their lessons,
the speech of children would greatly
Improve In these respects. But no mat
.er how favorable TO good talking the
schoolroom conditions are made, pu-
pills ought to have throughout the en-
tire course systematic training through
special exercises.-Exchang

ing and appreciating alfalfa bread, as
1T is being more used for human food.
Vegetables are appetizers, for ex-
ample, the onion, garlic, chives, pars-
ley and celery. The woody fiber being
indigestible, serves as n brush in the
alimentary canal to carry along all
waste and excite peristaltic action.
Vegetables, because of their bulk. sat
isfy hunger without over-feeding. In
their service as broom to the body,
they keep the system cleansed, beau
tifying the complexion and removing
all waste that clogs the skin and pro-
duces sallow, muddy complexions.
The proper cooking of vegetables is
another important thing to bear in
mind. All vegetables when cooked
should be put on to cook in boiling
water. Salt may be added to those
vegetables that are not toughened by
its use, for example, potatoes and 9th
er fibrous root vegetables. Too long
cooking. especially of such delicately
favored vegetables as asparagus will
dissolve the flavor and send 1t out with
steam, so both nourishment and flavor
will be lost. Leftover green vegeta-
bles, or in fact any kind of vegetable,
makes a good cream soup. Asparagus,
string beans, tomatoes in any form,
and celery with onion all make most
delicious salads.
A garden containing all the crisp
vegetables used for salads and as
many others as the space allows will
be constant source of delight all the
summer and fall. Pumpkins and
squnshes, as well as cucumbers and
melons will all climb on the back yard
fence and take up little room on the
ground. Planting beans with corn
saves space and gives the beans some
thing to climb upon.
Tender young carrots cooked In as
little water as possible so that every
bit of the mineral matter is saved and
then served with butter. salt and a
grating of nutmeg with dash of
lemon juice is most delicious vege-

Fish Are Misnamed.

Apparently every popular name for
fish is a misnomer. There is a fish
plentiful on the coasts of Alaska
known as the atka mackerel. The bu-
reau of fisheries patiently points out
that it is not mackerel and nothing
like Il mackerel. But it is an excel
lent food fish, and can be shipped salt
ed. Alaska canneries have been en-
couraged to salt this fish, which will
be known as the atkafish, and 1t
should make its appearance in our
markets in the coming winter.
