When Exempt From Duty.

Section SO of the army law now In
force reads: "The vice president Of
the United States, the officers, judicial
and executive, of the government Of
the United States and of the several
states and territories; persons in the
military or naval service of the United
States; customs house clerks; persons
employed by the United States in the
transmission of the mail; artificers
and workmen employed in the
armories, arsenals and navy yards OF
the United States; pilots; marines ac-
tually employed in the sea service Of
any citizen or merchant within the
United States shall be exempt from
militia duty without regard to age;
and all persons who, because Of relig-
ious belief, shall claim exemption from
military service, If the conscientious
holding of such belief by such person
shall be established under such regu-
lations as the president shall prescribe,
shall be exempted from militia serv-
ice in a combatant capacity; but no
person so exempted shall be exempt
from militia service in any capacity
that the president Shall declare to be

SHOW HOW TO DRY FOOD.

Baltimore. - Practical demonstra-
ton is the easiest way Of teaching,
and, therefore, the installation by the
United States Food Administration OF
a Dehydrating Plant at the local War
Food Bureau. 1t Is pointed out that
the drying Of fruits and vegetables
this summer Is duty Of vital import
ance which should be undertaken by
every woman who wants to do her bit
towards winning the war. Dried veg.
stables require only q small fraction
Of the storage and railway facilities
required for either fresh or canned
products. The cost Of paper contain
srs is one-tw entieth that Of cans and
one-fftesnth that Of glass jars.
Preserving, however, has its admir-
srs, and the Department OF Agr1cul-
ture is putting up In the Eastern High
School pressure Gamer, through the
use of which four hundred jars can
be ready for use in eight hours.
Demonstrations in both drying and
canning will be given at 1.80 P. M.
each day. The knowledge there I'm.
parted should prove invaluable to all
housewives who wish to prepare
against any food shortage next
winter.

Indians Best Walkers,

When it comes to feet civilized man
has thing or two to learn from the
dog eating IgOrrote or the pigeon toed
American Indian, says Prof l.. J. Rich
ardsOn in u bulletin entitled "The Sol
der on Foot" and issued by the Uni
versity of California.
Becoming patron of the long
abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich
ardson says that the normal gait of
man is eXemplitied by the American
Indian, who walks with his feet set par
allel or even with the toes turned
slightly inward. In this way all the
toes function and the lifting and pro-
pelling power of the foot is at Its MAXI
mum, he says.
While deploring the army regula-
tions requiring soldier to stand with
his toes turned out at an angle Of
about 45 degrees, because of the ten
dency to cause everSiOn Of the foot
and weakness of the posterior arch,
Professor Richardson Is sufficiently op-
timistic for civilized man to conclude
that in spite of the inherited and ac-
quired bad habits he can reform and
"learn to walk" with fair results.
Walking in tight shoes generation
after generation is the cause Of nearly
all the foot troubles Of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition, he
says, has left but single strong toe
on either foot, the others being in some
measure atrophied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
high to low heeled shoes are suggested
as a means Of Obviating much foot
trouble.

Canned Turtle.

The advantage of New Orleans as a
port was emphasized in the opening of
Il canning factory for the distribution
of real green sea turtles. With the ex-
ception of small factory at Key West.
it will be the only establishment of Its
kind in America. The factory has been
situated at Miami, Fla, but the exces-
sive freight rates and lack of steam
er service to Central American ports
led to its removal TO Bay st. Louis. 1t
handles nothing but green sea turtles
caught in Central American waters,
and these are put up in four different
forms-clear green turtle soup, thick
green turtle soup, turtle beef In Creole
style, and "callipc," which is the meat
of the turtle taken from it's breast,
back and flippers. The factory turns
out about 1000 cans day, or total
of 100000 pounds year, including all
products. There Is also by-product
called turtle Oil, used incidentally -

tween 1920 and 1888. Its architect
was Robert de Luzarches. 1t consists
of a nave nearly 14O feet high, with
aisles and lateral cllapels, transept
with aisles, and a choir ending In an
apse surrounded by chapels. The total
length is 400 feet, its breadth PIG feet.
The facade, which is tlanked by two
square towers without spires, has
three portals decorated with pro-
fusion of statuary, and over the CEN
tral portal is the remarkable statue
of Christ, of the thirteenth century,
which has given to this entrance the
name of the ''porch of the beautiful
Cod" Sprmounting the portals are
two galleries, and above these a fine
rose window.
Wood That Leaps Like Living Flame.
RuSkin went into raptureS over the
wood carvings of the choir. "What.
ever you wish to see, or are forced
to leave unseen at AmicnS," he said,
''if the overwhelming possibilities of

their fulfllment have left you so much

Ruskin notes that the dominant tone
of the sculptures that so profusely
decorate the cathedral Is that of peace
and mercy.
Summing up his Interpretation of
the Amions cathedral, the "Bible of
Amiens," as Ruskin asks:
"Who built 1t, shall we ask? God
and man is the first true answer The
stars In their courses built it, and the
nations. Greek Athena labors here,
and the Roman Father Jove, and
Guardian Mars. The Gaul labors here
and the Frank; knightly Norman,
mighty Ostrogoth, and wasted anchor

built 1t scarcely cared to tell you he
did so; nor do the historians brag of
him. Any quantity of heraldres of

DEVIL WORSHIPING IN HAITI
Here the Savage Instincts Of the
Blacks Have Been Fed and Fos-
tered for Centuries.

Aside from warlike considerations,
people have become so accustomed to
being safe that 1t is something of q
shock to learn that only few hun
dred miles from the centers of Amer
lean culture there is an almost savage
country. The islands of the West In
dies are, as a rule, the abodes of en-
lightenment where any one, man or
woman, may travel without fear of
m"lestation. "But such is not the
case in Haiti" says A. Hyatt Verrill in
"rhe Book of the West Indies" "Here
the shortcomings, the failures, the saw
age instincts Of the blacks have been
fed and fostered for centuries. From
untamed jungles they were brought in
reeking, pest-ridden slave ships to
serve beneath the lash. Debased, un-
taught, they rose, and in resistless
wave of black swept the dominating
whites from the land. Then We're
lOosened all the pent-up hatred, the
undying lust for revenge, the sup
pressed savagery Of the African races,
and slaughter, rapine, incendarism,
torture and debauchery stalked naked
through the stricken land"
Haiti has improved considerably
since then, but there is yet much room
for improvement. "The only wonder
Is that any vestige of civilization re-
mains, that there is the semblance of
rule, of industry, of order in the re.
public" Among the barbarisms now
prevalent in Haiti are voodoOism and
Obeah, the former kind of devil
worship, and the latter form Of
wtchcraft. I'm its most fanatcal
form voOdoOism requires human sacri-
fees which are accompanied by caff-
nibalistic feasts and unspeakable or
gies. Obeah, on the other
hand is merely witchcraft with no re-
lgious significance whatever, and in
its most malignant form consists of
poisoning with devilish ingenuity, and
in is commonest and least virulent
form amounts merely to lot of nom
sense, hocus-pOcus and mummery."
