AMERICAN LEGION
MAKES DRIVE FOR 1000
MEMBERS IN STATE
Local Branches Hope to Have
Quota Before Armistice
Day Nov. II

The Delaware campaign of the
American Legion is now in full swing,
and plans are being laid to secure not
only Delaware's quota Of membership
-200O members by November-but
hopes run high of reaching perhaps
the five thousand marx. American
I.e~ion Day will be November II, the
date of the signing Of the armistice
last year, and it is proposed on that
day to hold national convention at
indianapolis.
One post has already been establish
ed in Wilmington. 1t is Delaware
Post No. /, with a membership at
present of approximately 500 men.
Organization has also been made OF
Dover and New Castle Posts. A post
will be established at Marshailton
next Tuesday evening and others Will
be established throughout the State,
the places in view being Delaware
City, Middletown, Newark, Smyrna.
Harrington, Milford, Lewes, George
town, Bridgeville, Seaford and Laurel.
In addition, the Pennsylvania Railroad
il behind the movement to establish
three posts of its employees in various
departments. 1t requires fifteen ex-
service men to form separate 1r-
ganiZat' 'un.
Men and women who were commits
stoned or enlisted during the period
from April 6, 1917, to November II,
1917, are eligible to join. The dues
are twenty five cents per month, which
includes a subscription to the weekly
published by the Legion.
The Y. M. C. A. executive commit
tee for the Eastern section, which in
cludes Delaware, has offered the use OF
| it's $50 houses to the Legion for the
purpose of organizing posts When
General Secretary Lindley, of the
local Y. M. C. A. was spoken to in
reference to the matter, he stated that
, Wilmington and the State would fall
in line in the proffer of its houses for
the purpose named. In addition to
Wilmington, this would include houses
at Fort Dupont, Pigeon Point and
Lewes. However, the local irmory
has been thrown open for this purpose,
as also in Dover, so that the kindly
assistance will not be needed in these
cases.
In general, the objects of the asso-
citation are to promote 100 per cent
Americanism, to look after the allot-
ncnts, war risk insurance, and other
affairs Of the ex-service u.en. and t.

PUTTING ONE OVER ON
OLD JACK FROST
Vegetables May be Kept In
door For Several Months
After He Appears

The passing of the growing season
and the advent of fall brings deep re-
gret to the home gardener that the
season of succulent fresh vegetables
is passing. He may, however, pro-
long the JOY of having few of these
if he heeds the advice of those expert
enced in the art of crcumventing
Jack Frost. Tomatoes, for example,
are late bearers and the vines will
contain many partly ripe and green
tomatoes until the first frost appears.
When the Weather Bureau an
nounces that the first frost is on the
way from Medicine Hat or Buffin's
Bay, get the tomatoes under cover
where they may be kept at an even
temperature of so to 60 degrees where
they will ripen if care be taken to
keep them apart from each other.
A better way, however, is to pull
up the vines containing the tomatoes
and hang them in the cellar or other
sheltered place. The fruit will ripen
even though perfectly green when
brought in. They will have a much
better flavor than those picked from
the vines and left to ripen individ
ally. Very good results are obtained
however from pulling and placing in
single layer on cellar shelf or in
some cool place.
The late corn patch, also, is likely
tn have week or ten days of table
service in it when the frost warning
comes. II is not necessary to lose the
green corn. Pluck the ears, leaving
the husks on, and place them on the
cellar floor with no two ears touching
The corn will remain in good conc
tion for ten days or longer. Even if
| you have no cellar or other place
where the ears can be spread, it is
not necessary to lose the corn. Cut
the s:alks, leaving the ears on, and
shock chem in the garden. The corn
will PROBABLY not remain in good con-
dition so long as if properly stored on
the cellar floor and it becomes tough
ened, but the season for using it can
be extended several days.
There may be beans and peas not
quite fully matured If you have
space in whic hto keep them under
cover. pull up the vines by the roots
nang them up and let the pods dry
out. Then shell the beans or peas, put
them in bags, hang in well ventilat'
ed dry place, and keep them for win
ter use. This, of course, cannot be
done if the beans or peas are too i'm
mature. Canning is the only means
CT saving them under that condition
The curing on the vine method, how
ever, is the best plan for curing nav!
and other bush beans, even when the!
are fully mature.
The cellar. if there is one, otherwise
a pit in the garden, may be made tt
care for most of the other vegetables
well into, if not through the winter
Onions that are mature and thorough
" dried may be kept in the attic or Il

then opened fire on the Italians,
who hastily departed .
The Italian commander and three

TANLAC BREAKS
WORLDS RECORDS

Four years ago few people had
ever heard of Tanlac. To-day 1t un-
questionably has the largest sale of
any medicine in the world, and is a
household word everywhere.
Over 100000 bottles of Tanlac
have been sold in this country alone.
If laid out end to end they would
make n track from Philadelphia to
Denver, Col, or stood up would
make a column 13,333,33s times
higher than the Woolworth Build
ing in New York City, the tallest
building in the world.
Tanlac's unprecedented success
and rapidly growing demand is
based on merit and merit alone.
Thousands of people have testified
to the benents derived from this
celebrated tonic. stomachic appetizer
and system purifier. in all cases of
derargem of the stomach. liver
and kidneys. Tanlac is the greatest
achievement of modern pharmaceu-
tical science. 1t is sold by all lead
ing druggists.
