&C LIP PIN GS OF
CAPITAL COUPONS

When the Kaiser tells his people he
is winning he means that he is stand
ing no nonsense from America" He
is skipping backward so fast he doesn't
have to.
Honduras is the twenty-third ma
ton to declare war onsGermany. And
that's the getaway number.
Instead of million. the Germans,
we see. are inclined to believe there
are ten million Americans on the
Marine Not yet Boche, but soon, if
they're needed.
In all fairness it must be conceded
white wings as hard as it does the po
liceman and fireman.
Call for aid by the Crown Prince,
Ell? Don't believe anybody can help
the chinless one.
Discussion is still raging as to the
pronunciation of "Foch" and Boche."
Think it's provoked by song writers
who want the words to rhyme with
"Faugh -ballagh."
Crown Prince has been crying for
help all his life. Help and another
cold bottle.
See that aid for Russia is assuming
shape. Glory be! 1t will be inter
national in character to extend eco
nomic relief and military only to the
extent of preventing Germany using
Russia as a base of operations. Pre-
cisely Now, sundry millions of per
sons would like to know just what we
are going to do.
Now, if they would only put a war
tax on rogue and face enamel-but
what's the use.
Anne Arundel County can at least
boast of one spot where Votes for
Women" is recognized. Arundel-on-
the-Bay is having an election today
and women are casting their ballots.
Even the sea nettles are backward
in coming forward this year, perhaps
because summer was.
If skirts continue to grow shorter,
they will be little "short" of a ruffle
around the waist.
The bathing is fine. and everybody is
now in the swim.
Get ready to attend the Firemen's
Fete next week. There are home
needs and not the least of these is
equipment for the city's
splendid volunteer fire department.
A "boozeless" city is a boon to the |
local police force.

vent scorching. Put into jelly glasses
or pint jars which have been freshly
sterilized and are still hot, and seal.
Store as directed above.
Pastes.
Fruit pastes may be prepared from
the same materials as just given for
jams, using the same proportions.
Cook to as thick consistency as pos
sible without scorching, and then
spread upon platters or CREASED pa
per, and dry in an open oven or fruit
and vegetable dryer until the paste
can be lifted in thin layer. Store
in moisture-prOof containers.
These pastes are sometimes made
from the fruit of pulp left after the
clear juice has been extracted for jel-
ly making. The pulp should be put
through a sieve, scombined pound for
pound with powdered sugar and we'll
boiled down before drying
Apples, and also tomatoes, may be
profitably handled by making them
into pastes. No sugar need be used.
and the paste may be used for max
ing pies, sauces, soups, etc, by mere
ly adding water sufficient to give the
original volume.

apples, in fact, almost any kind of
fruit may be used in this way. Jams
should not be confused with MARINA

fruits only which contain pectin Pee
tin is not necessary for successful
jam making, nor is acid required
Combinations of different fruits for
jam making are often employed, Civ
ing variety to the products, and sup
plying desirable qualities which the
individual fruits do not possess. For
instance, apple jam made from GER
tain varieties of apples may not pos
sess sufficient acid to give life" or
"sprightliness" to the product, but the
addition Of small proportion of lem~
on, or of lemon juice, gives a delici-
GUS product. In the same way, straw
berries and pineapple, raspberries and
currants, etc, may be combined to
produce excellent jams.
The amount of sugar employed for
jam making is largely matter of
choice. With such materials as straw

about threefourths as much sugar as
berries is usually employed. Other
fruits which are rich in natural sug-
airs require less, and others which
contain less natural snugar may re-
quire as much sugar as fruit. Where
nosugar is added, the cooking will be
prolonged in order to give the re-
quired consistency.
Jams may be placed in jelly glasses

UNCLE SAM
OUTFITS ARMY

Recent congressional inquiry into
termaster's stores to the new Ameri-
can army did not overlook the good
work that had also been accomplished.
1t is a big task to outfit an army of
100000 men, and those in charge
delivered the goods" literally as well
as colloquially.
Nearly twenty square miles of new
army blankets have been ordered by
the quaPtermaster general since war
was declared. Some 1000 acres of
Them, 900, 236 blankets-had been
delivered up to December 1st. If the
blankets We're evenly adistributed, there
would be enough to give three to
every man in the army.
OvercOats contracted for number
5,691, $50. Deliveries of overcoats
amour ed on December list to $685.
346' The army is, particularly well
supplied with shoes. 21,117612 pairs
have been contracted for, and S,525, 29S
pairs delivered. Every soldier can
use up four pairs before the supply on
hand is exhausted. 3,554,091 hats have
been delivered on contracts calling for
8,092,021
35,155,0S1 yards Of wooden cloth for
y. ID. shirts has been contracted for.
To call it 1924 miles of cloth will
perhaps give a clearer idea of the size
of the order 10,990,205 yards of this
material has been made up into g.
676,444 shirts.
The contracts for wooden uniform
cloth reach the somewhat smaller fig
ure of 28,955,958 yards. 11,299,S67
yards have been delivered and have
been made into 2,378,511 complete
winter uniforms and 455,S56 extra
pairs of breeches
10,848, 503 pieces Of winter underwear
have been delivered, out of 28,275,854
pieces contracted for The supply is
divided into 4,306.343 upper garments,
and 6,542. $50 neither.
Keeping million men for year on
the United States garrison ration
means the provision of 225,000 tons
450,000,000 pounds-of fresh beef.
Three hundred million pounds Of flour
must be supplied for the bread ration,
not including the flour used in making
hard bread, other items of food supply
are 29,600,000 pounds of coffee, $4,000
tons of sugar and $4,000 gallons of
cucumber pickles.

SOLDIERS FRENCH

According to the report Of Professor
Turk there are at the present time fifty
five French classes held at Camp Han
cock with an average of twenty-six stu
dents each. The classes m in the as
ISOLATION buildings, in mess halls, and in
headquarters buildings. The usual time
is in the evening, twice week, but
some classes are held in the morning and
some in the afternoon The work is ele-
mentary. Special emphasis is laid on
pronunciation in the hope that if the
soldiers secure the proper knowledge of
elementary spoken French they will be
able to increase their vocabulary and con-
tinu ether studies in the French lam
guage.
There were a number of volunteer
teachers from among the civilian popula-
ton of Augusta, of whom Nine Pichaud
teaches more classes than any other A
larger number of teachers is drawn from
enlisted men, Most of the latter are
given a normal course under Professor
Turk in order to aid them and also to
procure greater uniformity in instruc-
ton. With more than 1,400 men giving
more or less of their time to the study
of French, a good foundation has been
laid but of course a much larger num-
Der Of soldiers should be studying French
either voluntarily or under compulsion, in
preparation for overseas service.
