SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE FOR FUNDS
STARTS TOMORROW
FUNDS WILL ALL BE USED FOR
LOCAL, WoRk-cAMPAlGN TO
OPEN WITH CANVASS OF 6USl.
NESS DISTRICT.

7 The official drive to raise funds to
maintain the Salvation Army VIII
open tomorrow morning The drive
will open with an office to office can
vass of the business district, solicit
ing funds from all who are interest
| ed.
The campaign has been scheduled
to take place on one or two previous
occasions, but has necessarily been
held up on these dates because other
drives were in progress. All OF the
money taken in during the drive will
be used for relief work here in this
city
The Salvation Army has In the past
carried on some excellent work here
and the officers in charge OF the To-
cal barracks are planning to carry
on a more extensive working pro
gram in the future.
This morning Attorney Clarence
Griggs, the drive chairman, issued
the following appeal for assistance
in the drive;
"On Thursday morning, Dec. s, q
committee will go about in the bust
ness section of the city making an
appeal for funds for the use of the
Salvation Army in Ottawa.
THE relief work of the army here
is very large. but is done so quietly
that few know much about 1t.
The army reaches large number
of people who are really in need, but
who are too sensitive to permit their
names to go on the pauper list. as
must necessarily happen If they re-
ceive aid from the county, because
the names of all persons receiving
county aid are published.
I'VE owe a debt OF gratitude to the
Salvation Army for the splendid
work which they did during the war.
The Ottawa chapter of the American
Legion still remembers and is deeply
grateful to the army, and on every
committee will be member OF the
legion who will recall to those per-
sons solicited the debt which they
feel We all owe to the Salvation Army.
We are too apt to forget these things
and | am recalling them for the pur.
pose of inducing people from whom
subscriptions are asked to give gener-
| ously TO this fund.
Soliciting committees will hand
their funds to Fred A. Gerding, who
has always had charge of the collec-
tions for the army, made in this
way"

Thus equipped, the tea wagon can

Another variation is an electrically
equipped table kitchenette. This is
a piece Of furniture closely resem-
bling the ordinary library table, but
furnished also with double cupboards
like a sideboard. The top of this
so-called table lifts up, to reveal an

rangement was devised by woman.

How Delicious Ice Cream
Was Made

The Institute test showed that it
took about ten minutes to freeze a
gallon Of. ice cream, and the cost was
not more than one-third of a cent
for the entire process, at the ten
cent rate!
A Robbins & Meyers motor is used,
and it behaved nicely throughout the
freezing, doing the work with no
overheating occurring. The temper
ature rise was only little over 20
degrees. The greatly increased cost

utes after beginning to freeze was
the best time to add the nuts and
raisins. She also found the motor
adjustments simple and easy and
since the work of freezing was prac-
tically eliminated, and the cost was
less than third cf cent. its mi
tial cost is the only objection TO be
overcome.
