Her instinct was sound, at that,
for nowadays we all realize that
hot food is an aid to speedy diges-

for 1t, and that we get through hot
weather more comfortably when we
have some hot food with every
meal.
A light hot soup is one Of the
most appetizing Of all hot dishes
for a summer meal. Certainly It is
the easiest to prepare-just open
the can, add an equal quantity Of
water or milk, and heat. And it's q
hurray from Nom who thereby
saves herself working over q hot
range before a meal on a smother

With hot soup decided upon as
the hot dish In q meal, all the other
main dishes can be prepared in the

safely away in the refrigerator until
meal time.
Plans for such warm day meals

God bless you for holding this
torch OF Americanism" was the
commentator by Milo J. Warner,
national commander, on the Amer
lean Legion Post 2S2 Fourth Of July
celebration the past year in Ypsi-
lanti.
The sentiment of this communica-
ton received by Major Fred A..
Battelle was similar to many sent
to the Legion by numerous prom
inent persons. Educational direc-
tors of Michigan, senators and rep
resentatiyes, have all sent felicita-
tions. Also, a glowing tribute was
paid to Legionnaires by Alderman
John Ableson at the city council
meeting July Is, 1910.
Organizations, committee chair
men and workers all realize the
amount Of labor necessary to make
the Fourth celebration a success.
Few people attending, however,
give a thought to the work involved
in preparation Tor their entertain
ment.
Post members have been busy for
months on the coming gala specta-
Gle. Besides Legionnaires there are
countless Ypsilsnti citizens who
have put time and effort into the
work. Some have appeared in the
pageant rehearsals America On
Parade others have been selling
tickets for the pageant and many
merchants have cOoperated by es-
tablishing exhibits at Recreation
Park.
Chairman Harold Augustus has
worked increasingly to obtain at
tractive features for the celebration.
Commander Edward Arnet has spent
considerable time on Fourth plans.
The huge success OF the Fourth OF
July spectacle last year encouraged
Legionnaires TO begin early this
spring in obtaining a bigger and
better show for the tenth annual
event. The largest midway in the
