DON'T KISS BOYS IN LINE!
Muir Edict Also Bars Tossing Food
to 2Sth Marchers

Major General Charles II. Muir. com
mander of the Iron Division. has issued
an appeal to the thousands who will
watch his troops go marching by not
to toss food and souvenirs into the
ranks. General Muir. through Lieu
tenant Colonel Charles F. Clement. act
ing chief of staff. said that the di-
visional review was to be conducted
IN straight military lines. Anything
that attracted the attention of the men,
he added, was certain to interfere with
the proper alignment aud marching Or
der of the division.
Make this as emphatic as poss ible, '
said Colonel Clement, $50 that the peo
pie will know Just how the thing stands.
And. while about it, don't forget TO
tell them to remain on the sidewalks and
not rush into the ranks.
For if they go out and kiss or hug
or try to attract the attention of the in
dividual soldier this will throw the
whole military machine out of gear and
cause the greatest confusion. The time
of starting. the arrival at the various
points. the entraiDment for Camp Dix
and everything will be affected and
much of our work spoiled. | know it is
pretty hard to resist the temptation. but
please ask them through your papers to
help us as much as possible by doing
their part

The group of soldiers relatives which

THRIFT KITCHEN is
GAINING POPULARITY
Many Organized During War
Times Will Be Continued.
Being Used as Clearing Houses for
Material Still Possessing Much
Wear and Needed by Those
of Limited Resources.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Many thrift kitchens organized dur.
ing war times to help war conditions
have proved so valuable that their
continued existence now seems as
sured. Thrift in the home is taught
onstration agents of the department
of agriculture and the state colleges in
the Salvage Shops" as the kitchens
are sometimes called. These kitchens
were originally established to teach
people thrift in using their own ma
terial. 1t soon developed, however
that many who wished to be thrifty
had little to be thrifty with. This led
to the kitchens being used as clear
ing houses for material still possessing
much wear discarded in the homes of
the well-to-do and much needed where
resources are more limited.
In the Bourbon county (Kansas)
thrift kitchen this work has been es-
pecially successful. The kitchen is
open from nine until five, and the
home demonstration agent or the Wis
iting nurse plans to be there during
those hours. To prevent any possi'
bility of contagious diseases being dis
seminated garments are. thoroughly
fumigated or sterilized before being
given out or remade. If solled gar
ments are received they are laun.
dered by needy women, who, by giving
their work, feel they are thus paying
for the assistance they may have re-
ceived.
When it is practicable those who
have been helped are urged to come
to the kitchen to sew, mend or do
other work in return for gifts of clo-
thing. By this method pauperism is
discouraged and the women have an
opportunity to profit by the instruc'
ton given in garment making and re-
modelling under experts in charge of
the work. Many volunteer workers
help in this work, and the plan fol-
lowed has been for the volunteers to
work every afternoon except Saturday
and have the other workers come fore
moons and Saturdays.
In one month in the Fort Scott
(Kan.) kitchen 619 garments were
given out which did not need remodel.
ing and 81 others, either new or en-.
tIrely made over from old garments.

curve downward about two inches low
er than the top of the sides. Place n
half-inch dart two inches from the cen
ter on each side Of the top. Taper
these darts to point four inches
above the bottom of the pocket and
stitch them in place. Hem the ends OF
piece of tape 36 inches long and
bind the top of the apron, leaving an
even length on each side for tying
strings. Fold the pattern on the dot
ted line and stitch to form the pockets.
The center pocket stitched in "V''
shape will leave slanting pocket on
each side. The handles of the tools
carried in these pockets will slope
back under the arms, and will not In
terfere with the arms at work. This
arrangement will be found much more
convenient than straight pockets.

burg and there waited, from July.
1913, to January. 1914, and nothing
happened. Communication between
London and Washington was rather
slow In those days at the best, and
especially slow in war times, so Ii was
not until January of 1914 that a
note from Lord Castlereagh, dated
November of the previous year, ana
proposing direct negotiations, was re-
ceived by Mr.. Monroe, secretary OF
state. Two days later the whole cor
respondence was laid before congress
and the peace commission was en-
larged by the addition of Henry Clay
and Jonathan Russell, an able mer-
chant of Rhode Island who had be-
fore served in minor diplomatic posi-
tlons. Ghent was appointed as the
place of conference, but England was
in no hurry to begin negotiations.
Battle Month After Treaty Signed.
But England stood committed to the
negotiations and in August. after keep
Ing the American delegates waiting
six weeks, the British delegates ap-
peared. The British delegates were
men of little experience and no abil-
ity, and did nothing but voice the opin-
ions of the English government. The
British demanded a discussion of the
right of search and the question of al
legiance, revision of the Canadian
boundary, a discussion OF the right OF
fishing on the Grand Banks, and the
erection of an Indian buffer state out
of the territory of the United States.
The Americans replied that tney
had no instructions regarding the In
dians or the fisheries; these matters
were not in dispute. But with regard
| to the search of American vessels and
the impressment of her seamen they
had very full Instructions; also with
/ regard to the Canadian boundary. the
right of blockade and the payment OF
indemnity to American citizens.
But Castlereagh sent word asking
them to wait Wellington was asked
to go to America and take command.
He said he would go, of course, II

Great Lakes could be gained, and that
seemed improbable. He also thought
