NO CESSATION or WAR PREPAR-
ALTON is STRONGLY URGED

The immediate necessity for pro
viding legislation for the enrolling
and training without cessation Of ad-
ditional men to be sent to France al
ter the draft becomes exhausted and
for seeing that there is no break in
continuing cur war preparations was
pointed out in letter written by the
American Defense society to Senator
JONES NJ. Wadsworth, Jr., referring
to his recent request in the senate
that congress provide Immediately
for the further drafting of men to en-
large our present army after Sep
tember 18th, in accordance with the
presidents address in which he ad-
yocated not even ceasing at five mil
lion men. The letter which is sign
ed by Mr. Charles Stewart DAWSON
chairman Of the societys board Of
trustees, reads:
"On behalf of the American De,
Tense society will you present in the
senate it's respectful request that leg
isiation he Immediately passed pro-
viding fer the enrolment and train
ing without cessation of additional
men until the number in the armies
of the United States equals a total
OF five millions.
In this connection we respectfully
call to the attention Of the senate
Of the United States that the presi-
den has publicly advocated not even
ceasing at that figure. but that even
that figure cannot be attained in time
to be Of effective use unless the pre-
lminary steps inherent to prepared
ness be taken steadily and persistent
ly.
The presidents address if not
supplemented by congressional ac-
ion. will become empty words and
the" responsibility will rest upon con
gress alone"
| According to Mr., Dawson the cessa-
ton Of the training and enrolling OF
men to be sent TO France would be a
serious errcr, as every day or weeks
delay means that same amount of de-
lay in placing the men now in train
ing. ~ the firing line nine months
from now, as according to military
! figures it takes about that amount CT
time TO summon a man to camp, train
him. send him to France and get him
in shape to go to the front line
trenches. The providing of no men
to be drawn after September 18th
means time lost at the front. 'lt is
the earnest hope Of the American De
tense society" said Mr. Dawson,
that the army without limit will
not be fixed definitely and finally at
three million, four hundred and fifty
thousand men as it will be when class
enc becomes exhausted in Septem-
ber, and if there is nc provision made
for the immediate calling of addi-
tional men,"

The Climax Food Crater has a square
hopper, cylinder chamber, cylinder
and crank handle. The table clamping
device, supporting frame and wooden
handled crank are made of dark green
enamelled cast iron, while the cylinder
chamber, hopper and grating cylinder
are tin. This cylinder is horizontally
mounted and has series of cutting per-
forations over it's entire surface. A
square wooden block with a knob fits
into the hopper and serves to keep the
food pressed against the grating sur
face, as already explained
This crater should not be compared
with food chopper or crusher, because
it does not chop or squeeze the food, but
really CRATES it, tearing fine particles of
food and delivering them in fine, flaky
mass. This device is excellent, especially

Growing Stamps in a Vinegar Jar

process:

a glass jar or big bottle, she adds little
water, and covers it with bit of white
cloth-never a tight lid when it is in the
making. Into this go every spoonful
of leftover fruit juices of any sort, the
rnsings Of preserve or jelly dishes, or Of
molasses or syrup cans-anything sweet
or acid, everything save vegetable or
meat or grease liquids. During the can
ming and preserving season these rims
ings were rich and abundant In other
seasons of the year she occasionally puts
in spoonful of molasses to "hurry it"
and give strength.
This vinegar making jar, when full, is
placed out where it gets the sun nearly
all day, and another jar, kept in the
house Tor convenience, is started. Grad
ually the contents strengthen, and when
the sediment has settled to the bottom
leaving it clear, it is ready for Use
pure, wholesome vinegar at absolutely no
