ASKS THAT NEWSPAPERS
BE SENT TO SOLDIERS
Col. Roosevelt Makes Appeal Based
on Letter He Received From
Woman in France.

NEW YORK. August 10.-Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. upon his return to-
day from a vacation at Dark Harbor.
Me-, called upon the American peo-
pie to send newspapers to the soldiers
in France. His appeal was the re-
suit of a letter he received from a
woman in France who has two sons
in the military service. Writing of
the American Red Cross hospital at
Neuilly, where the wards are already
full and the halls are lined with
men on stretchers waiting to have
their wounds dressed" she added:
THE men are splendid. and not
complaining. They are pathetically
eager for home news, and there is
home papers. 1 wish you would sug-
gest that more papers be sent them.
They do not want old papers that
have been read and thrown away.
but daily papers regularly mailed to
them"
II very earnestly make an appeal
not only for New York and Boston pa
pers. but that all American papers be
sent to the boys" said Col. Roosevelt.
papers may feel inclined to do a part
themselves. OF course, they should
not be expected to bear all the ex-
pense. and outsiders should provide
funds TO send papers regularly to the
hospitals where the boys from their
districts are likely to go. This infor-
nation can be procured from the Red
Cross or the War Department. 1 wish
it could be done generally"

consular reports on the production Of
vegetable oil in Hull, England which
seems to be the greatest producer of vege-
table oil In the world, the production
coming from imported material. Hun
dreds of thousands of tons of oil are pro-
duced there. While the larger part comes
from cotton seed there are score or
more sources of supply.
Other seeds from which oil is extracted
are flax. castor beans, soy beans, rape
seed and sunflower. Many different kinds
of nuts contain large amounts of oil. OIL
coming from that source is very costly
yet considerable is extracted for certain
purposes. Besides the pure OIL an i'm

these meals have been used for human
food. There being no discriminative tax
