Seventeen Million Yards of
Cartridge Cloth to Be
Put On Market.
By FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

I Washington. D. c. July 1s.-Would
you like to relieve Uncle sam Of a bit
Of his surplus war material by the
purchase Of a few million yards Of
silk. from which bibs and fuckers and
other articles Of wearing apparel may
be made?
If so. the present is your hour Of
opportunity. The war department has
100000 yards of this sort Of cloth
for sale. It is IN liberal widths which
run from IS TO p inches. Three or
four yards should be enough to make
dress. and there is, therefore. a
sufficient yardage to make suits for
100000 people. The government viii

This stupendous quantity OF silk
cloth is known as cartridge cloth.
which nomenclature indicates that Il
is a war material It is cached at
Picatinny arsenal, in New Jersey, sub

It is not a matter Of general infor-
nation that the United States used

that many people have no idea of
what cartridge cloth is. It is probably
true. however, that they viii know

LETTERS TO EDITOR
About Dr. Edmonds

To the Editor of The Age Herald. It is truly soul inspiring to listen to the clear and forceful expositions of the scriptures by pr. Edmonds
 His subject last Sunday night at the Lyric theatre was Faith in God, based on the fifth verse of the fifteenth chapter of John: I am the vine and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without me ye can do nothing.
 The doctor claims, substantially, that the followers of the divine urge, innate in every human heart, can and should manifest the Towering and the fruitage of the Christ life. God, the Father is the holy husbandman, the life giving power that gives froth to Godliness. God is nearer than hands and feet. closer than breathing to each one of us. He is our very life itself.
 In Him we live and move and have our being. He is spirit and holds the visible heavens in order. The vast uni verse moves in harmony by reason of His divine decrees
 So man is free thinking. speaking g and acting agent. When he obeys the COHSCiOuS PI OIlPIlHSS Ol nfo uINlHC Iid ture he is in rapport with the great creative spirit and he emblazons the Christ attributes in his God-like char acter. It is in every human being S power to manifest these divine possi- bilities.
 Thus human nature is lifted above and out of it's animalism into the realm of the spiritual life, so beautifully de- picted by Drummond in his Natural Law in the Spiritual World" The trend of his interpretations of his subjec Faith in God" and his audience give willing ears and the persuasive powe of his heartfelt appeals.
 Men and women evidently gladly go and sit in wrapped attention listening to his cheering views of how the world is growing better
 His church has its active organiza- tions of Big Brothers and' serious sis ters with hearts deeply interested in community betterment. They look up neglected boys and girls, and tenderly care for them. They are doing a great work in moulding the would-b way ward into good citizenship His church is broadening in many worthy ways.
 He gives no time to doubtful dogma so earnestly preached by many pious pastors to empty pews. His members symbolize the Christ. methods rescuine the wayward and kind Providence ,s blessing their laudable efforts. PINK LICETTE. Birmingham May l3 1919
