WRECKED MANKIND
At ELLIS ISLAND
WHERE HUNGRY HUNDREDS
FIND HAVEN OF SHELTER.
Homeless Here Find Better Cheer
Than at the Muir ;al Lodges,
Which They Criticise.


New York.-On wire and canvas
cots, on wooden benches, and not in
frequently on tiled floors, hundreds of
men sleep each night on Ellis Island.
These men are not immigrants, al
though many, but by no means most,
of them are aliens. They are home
less, hungry men, who have neither
work nor the wherewithal to live, a
condition that is in dire contrast to
the comfortable and happy existence
of those who live in the small cities
and towns of our land, but one that
for months has been experienced by
thousands of unfortunates in our met
ropolitan centers.
You do not have to look closely at
these men to see how poorly dressed
they are; but, if you were to spend a
night with them you would find that
beneath their soiled and wretched
outer covering there is no clothing,
and that the flesh, that is weak, in
many cases is sore and infected and
| in need of care. For with them un-
! derwear long since has become bit
| ter memory of better days, and their
! feet are without socks and their boots
! without soles.
! Now these men are not lazy men
Let there be no misunderstanding as
to that. Any one can satisfy himself
on that score by announcing that lie
needs a man to work. He will be
surrounded by a hundred men, wkc

BREADS

Bran bread is healthful, cheap and
very easily made. That raised"
with yeast is best. 1t should be
baked slowly and is more wholesome
If allowed to stand twelve hours be-
fore serving.
To have red cheeks, good teeth,
red blood and a good digestion, eat
bran or whole wheat bread. You
will also have the satisfaction of
knowing you are getting all the food
value out of the wheat.
Use one quart -four, one quart
bran, one even tablespoon salt. Mix
these together. Make a "well" in
the center and turn into it two and
one-half cups of tepid water to which
has been added two tablespoons mo-
lasses and one tablespoon melted
lard.
Dissolve one cake compressed
yeast in one-half cup tepid water
and add to the other ingredients.
Stir mixture and beat it at least
ten minutes. Cover bowl with a
heavy cloth and let rise over night.
In the morning shape into loaves
put into creased pans and allow to
double its size. Bake in very mod
crate oven for one and one-half
hours.
This will make two loaves.
The success of bran bread depends
largely upon the thorough beating
and slow baking.

NEW ORDER APPLIES
ALSO TO MARINES

WASHINGTON, Aug Establishments
in the army, navy and marine corps
were stopped yesterday. The restric-
tion will prevail until Congress passes
the new man-pOwer bill enlarging the
ages Of military service.
That action was taken in view OF
the proposal of Senator Wadsworth. Of
New York, to extend the sclective-s ser
vice act so as to end voluntary enlist
ments in the army, navy or marine
corps.
If Congress decides that men for the
three branches Of service shall be
called through the draft, voluntary en-
llstments in the United States will be,
come a matter Of history and all men
called In the future Will have the same
status In service.

man-power bill and probably viii givo
