 '. Remove, tighten covers and test. A great deal of interest was mani- fested in the cream of lettuce soup. The lettuce was canned as is any green and then utilized in the soup according to the rule given below. The canning of lettuce may sound a bit frivolous, but it is only for the purpose of saving the usual extra lettuce that the amateur gardener has in his plot. This lettuce contains iron and another unseen substance which is very valuable for growing children.
 Cream of lettuce soup:
 quart of milk; lbs. of barley, corn etc; % teaspoon of salt; # ID. butter, or substitute fat; 1 cup let. tuce (canned) put through sieve. 1. Make a paste by cooking slowly,
 and stirring constantly the fat,
 four and seasoning and very
 little milk.
 ?. Add rest of milk gradually as the
 mixture begins to thicken, stir

 added. 8. Just before serving add the cup
 of canned lettuce that has
 been put through @ sieve. 4. Taste for proper seasoning-add more as desired. 5. Serve.

 In some houses ants are very trou- blesome in warm weather. Get a large sponge, wash 1t well and squeeze dry. This will leave the cells open. Then sprinkle on it some fine sugar and leave it where the ants are trou- blesome. They will soon collect on the sponge and crawl into the cells. Dip the sponge in boiling water, which will wash them out dead. Set trap again until they are all gone.

On Thursday, July IS, the demon strations at Sanford House, were re- markedly well attended both morning and afternoon. The women of the city seem to be awake to their re- responsibilities as home-makers in this critical period of the worlds his- tory.
 Tomatoes were canned in the morn ing following the general rule for the cold pack method:
 1. Wash and grade product 2. Scala until skins burst. 3. Plunge into cold water and re-
 move skins.
 4. Fill cans with peeled tomatoes. 5. To each quart can add one level
 teaspoonful of salt. 6. Fill can with tomato juice, rather
 than water. You will have
 richer product. 7. In placing on the rubber take
 great care not to have seed
 on top or under water. 8. Place upper bail up. Sterilize 22
 minutes.
 g. Remove, clamp lower bail down. 10. Test for leakages.

Now Is your opportunity to can peaches regardless of the fact that it may seem early in the season. The native peaches are almost a minus quality because of the untimeliness of the weather. Make the most of this chance while your peaches are plen- tiful, for at best all fruits are very scarce this year-and they are very necessary in order to vary your win. ter diet.
 To can peaches:
 1. Scala until skins rub of. 2. Cold dip.
 8. Cut in halves. Pack each half in
 sterilized cans, cut side down. 4. Pour over thin syrup-4 quarts

SOLDIER BOY WRITES
FROM FAR HAWAII

Miy lnu, 1918.
Lincoln Co. Leader
am sending you a letter from
a soldier boy who used to live in
your county, and would like you
to print it in your paper if you
have room. 1t is taken from the
Benton Co. Review.
Mrs. Frank Hyde.
The following letter was written by
a Philomath boy to his father who
kindly shares it with Review readers.
Schofeld Barracks, H. T.
April 1, 1918.
Dear Pop, and All,
First thing, did not receive any
Boomerangs but would like to. Next
I'll tell you about the trip to Hilo.
We left Honolulu at $3.50 P. M,
March 10th; about P. M that sick
feeling started and continued to get
worse until s A. M. when we landed
at Hilo.
We took train there for twenty
miles then had a ten mile hike, and
| hadn't ate any thing since the day
before at 80 so was feeling pretty
gaunt.
1t was about three and half miles
over lava beds from our camp to the
volcano, and twas just like walking on
broken glass, unless you stayed in the
trail, which was worn down pretty
well. wore pair of new shoes for
tunately and my feet were on the
ground when we got back at that.
l can't describe the volcano. You
almost have to see 1t to understand,
and then you can't half realize what
you have seen. There's a pit or at
least there was, which was year
ago about 700 feet deep, but when we
were there 1t was full to the top. It's
just a boiling mass with an island Of
rock in the center that stays the same
distance out Of the liquid lava all the
time and does not seem to melt the
least bit, although the temperature of
the liquid is about 1000 degrees F.
Wednesday night was the best, so they
say, since 1884, so we were lucky to
be there. The whole surface would
. crust over. then cracks would appear
through which fountains of fire would
shoot up. Soon this crust would be
. sucked under and 1t would be a mass
OF fire again. II would change this
way every few hours. The large pic
ture shows II almost exactly as 1t was
then except for the fountains. 1t was
taken while we were there by Jap.
) Years ago the natives worshipped the
volcano, or rather the Goddess "Pele''
who was supposed to CONTROL 1t, and
| have heard, when there was a short.
age of fish, or anything out of the or.
binary happened, they offered human
sacrifices to her.
. Wednesday evening when 1t was
making such a fuss three Hawaiian
women came up, and after a paw-wow
! of some kind, one of them went Ia
the edge and threw in some silver
coins, about a dollar and half II
! looked like, then they all took a drink
OF wine from a jug that didn't look
bad, but was worse than It looked,
guess, for after a few shots they be
. gan singing and dancing the Hula and
kept II up till almost midnight.
There were other old craters that
were interesting, the tree ferns and
lava tubes were fine too, but you car
get more about them from the guide
, book | sent you than can tell you
Most books and advertising matter
!, pictures things better than
. fthey really are but It is the op
posite In this case. Yours. etc.

Knitting Women
BY
KATHLEEN NORRIS.

COT million sweaters furnished by the Red Cross
American soldiers half made by the hands of the knitting
women OF America. january Report)
We are the knitting women; weaving swift
Our webs of olive drab and navy gray;
We are the women, keeping thought away
BY this new work of love- this eager gift
Through which men, facing the bitter fight
Under the stars Of far and foreign lands,
Shall know that still a million women's hands
Uphold them in the darkness and the night
We are the knitting women, knitting fast
web of love; our million hearts are sent -.
AS one, with ev'ry marching regiment
Loves own democracy is come at last.
High over stricken France the black smoke towers:
Beneath it, in the hurry and the noise
Are eastern western, northern, southern boys
No longer yours or mne,-forever ours
We are the knitting women weaving strong
web of prayer; our eyes with tears are dim,
But, wife or mother, we shall search Cor him
Across the seas, morning and even-song
Lord God,-we pray-look down on what we dol
Bless this our work, help us to play our part I.
The God of Battles-Father still Thou art
The God of watng-waiting women, too!

Justice
To the British

This means that there will be gen.
eral notion that the French are really
doing more than their share and saving
the British over and over again, where
as the truth will be that British and
French are performing exactly the mis-.
sions allotted to them by the High Com
mand. And, it must be patent, the
higher costs will be paid by the Brit
ish, who last year lost four to one, as
compared with the French, and so far
this year have lost some 100000, against
$4,000 for Pstain's forces.
The point which am striving to
emphasize is that it is essential not to be
unjust to our British allies, whose losses
are terrific now and whose services are
equally great, while the French, having
done their share and more than their
share in past years, are now acting as
reserve, marching to the threatened
point but arriving only when the first
shock is over and both contestants are
growing weary. Realizing the praise
due the French, there remains reason for
paying proper tribute to the British
share in the common struggle.
This is war Of attrition beyond all
else, and the French have taken their
turn. The British took over the job after
verdun and have been carrying on fof

the colonies and "side shows" the Brit
ish found themselves with little but
local reserves, in limited numbers, when
the Germans attacked them in March.
Had the Germans struck the French
they would have been made promptly
to- feel the intervention of French re-
serves, because the French, whose forces
have been little engaged in the last year,
have built up large reserve, which the
Germans estimate as between fifty and
sixty divisions. AS it was, when they
struck the British the Germans could
calculate that much time would pass be-
fore the French reserves could arrive,
and could hope that they would complete
their first task, to separate the British
and the French, before the French re-
serves came up. Again, when they
struck in the north, the Germans once
more hit at point far away from
French reserves and were able to make
very great progress before French re-
serves could arrive. 1t was this neces-
sary heartbreaking delay in the coming
of the French reserves which tempted
General Maurice into his fatal query,
"Where is Bliicher?" in. the last mo-
ments of the crisis of the second Ger
man attack
AS it now stands it seems inevitable
that, provided the German perseveres
in his attacks upon the British, we shall
see several times repeated the events of
the Somme and the Lys. Back of their
own front the British have some local
reserves, but they have not an army of
reserve of their own, as have the French.
Thus, when their line is attacked it must
be the mission of the British to hold
back the flood until the French reserves
can intervene. 1t will result that when
the British have fought themselves out
and broken the first fury and the greater
weight of the German blow fresh
French troops will arrive and finish the
job, as they did around KENNEL and
Bailleul recently.

A Great
Contribution

When Americans realize that almost
a million and half of British have been
killed, wounded and captured-proper
credit for the colonies in this total being
conceded-in little more than twelve
months, the greatness of British contri-
button to the common cause must be ap-
preciated. A British army has recently
been defeated; it has been badly beaten;
the results are serious for all Of US; but

A Ministry's
Mistakes

There seems to be general agreement
in Britain that some of the present diff
Guilty was due to lack of energy on the
part of the ministry to grasp the serl-
BUSINESS of the situation last year, when
Russia collapsed, and take steps for in
creasing the number of troops, as they
were compelled to take steps after the
disaster to Coughs army. In the second
place, with many divisions informed in
the various "side shows" and at home, the
British were asked to take over a new
part of the front last winter, and the
ministry consented, against the advice
of the military leaders. BY doing this
the British ministry deprived their army
in France of very considerable portion
of all the general reserves it had in hand
against an evil day. The men who other
wise would have been available when the
attack came were committed to holding
There is another element to be con-
sidered. Up to the end of the active
stage of the Verdun fighting the burden
of the war and the weight of the great
losses were borne by the French. But
since that moment it has been the Brit
ish who have paid the higher COSTS
British casualties last year were above
million, while the French lost in their
one great struggle, which turned out so
badly, Nivelles assault on the Aisne and
the subsequent counter offensive of the
Germans on the Chemin- des- Danes, in
which the French won, rather less than
10000 and probably not much more
than another 10000 in the other fight
ing Of the year.
