'America For Americans
PERSONAL OPINION'
Men i oo Old to Fight
Can Uphold Hands
of Government
By Major General JOHN F. O'RYAN.
Commanding the New York
National Guard
PUBLIC opinion is a more impor
tant factor in war than arm3
and ammunition, and criti
cism. alarms and the expression of
worthless opinion are MORE DAN
GEROUS THAN THE ENEMY'S
SHELL FIRE.
Many men over thirty years of
age have asked me what they could
do to serve their country, and I
have answered: "You who remain at
home will form pubiic opinion. In
Russia it overthrew the czar. How
much more could it accomplish in
this country! Suppress your ad
verse comment an-1 impatience.
Such things are a detriment to the
government and the cause you say
you wish to serve."
IT IS OUR DUTY TO GIVE EX
PRESSION TO NOTHING THAT
DOES NOT REPRESENT GOOD
WILL TOWARD THOSE WHO ARE
NOW OUR LEADERS.
Oddly enough, many who cannot
fight are nrging haste and express
ing impatience on account of Amer
ica's "tardiness." Should we rush
in, in accordance with their advice,
there might be another Bull Run.
It doesn't take long to teach the
details of military routine to the
character of men we are now get
ting into the army.
THEIR BRAINS ARE TRAINED,
AND A FEW WEEKS OF PHYSICAL
TRAINING AND DISCIPLINE CON
VERT THEM INTO FIGHTING MEN
THE EQUAL OF THOSE OF ANY
NATION.

We haven't yet learned to take ad
vantage of the resources of civilization
to anything like the extent we might
For Instance, we wait until we get
sick, and then we pay the doctor to
help us get well. It would be much
more sensible to pay him to help us
keep from getting sick.
Fantastic Idea, you say. Not at all.
It already is working In a large num
ber of college communities, right here
In the state universities of Missouri
and Kansas, for instance. In both in
stitutions the pupil is charged a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University of Missouri
the plan is still further developed so
that the fee coven medical and sur
gical attendance. The health work in
both schools is so interesting, not only
for what it Is doing for the pupils, bat
for the example it Is setting other com
munities, that It is only right and
proper to call attention to it
The Important point is that these uni
versities and other schools are proving
that health can be made much more of
a community matter than had been
supposed and that the wise thing to do
is for groups to pay medical men to
keep them well.—Kansas City Star.
A WATER SOAKED TOWN.
Where Nearly a Foot of Rain Falls
Every Week in the Year.
"It is a remarkable fact that in In
dia, one of the most arid countries in
the world, there Is one spot that has
the record rainfall of the whole earth."
said Dr. William Roberts, British agri
cultural expert In India, to a corre
spondent of the Washington Poet
"This place is Cherapunjl, in Assam.
It is In the path of the monsoon and
in a valley, and there Is almost con
stant rainfall.
"The average rainfall is 000 Inches a
year, or fifty feet, which is nearly a
foot a week. This seems almost be
yond comprehension when it is consid
ered that the rainfall of the United
States, for Instance, ranges from six
teen to thirty-five inches, hx soma
places there have been as high as six- J
ty-flve inches of water in a year, but
this is the exception.
"During the rainy season in Chera
punjl the waterfall is heaviest, but
there is rain throughout the year. Not
Tlthstanding this terrific molBture, the
inhabitants of the district raise vege
tables and grain. They do this by
building terraces which carry the wa»
ter off.'*
Jam Started aa Madlolna.
Jam In Its early days seems to have J
been regarded as possessing medicinal
properties, tialt In "Annals of the
Parish" notes "a new luxury that got
In among the commonalty about 1760.
By our young men that were sailors
going to Jamaica and the West Indies
heaps of sugar and coffee beans were
brought home, while many, among the
cabbages in their yards, had planted
berry bushes, which two things hap
pening together the fashions of mak
ing Jam and Jelly came to be Introduc
ed Into the village. It was found that
Jelly was an excellent medicine for a
sore throat and Jam a remedy as good
as London candy for a cough or a cold
or a shortness of breath." Did It ever
occur to you that "Jam" wpm abbre
viated from Jamaica?— London Spec

Whan Hubby Foolad Har.
Mrs. Scatterbrain was constantly be
moaning her lot. Iler husband, who
was entitled to place half the letters of
the alphabet after his name, had the ;
most treacherous memory In the world.
He could remember nothing his wife
told him. In spite of bits of string
around his linger and knots In his hand
kerchief. Only once did Mr. Scatter
brain remember to do his wife's bid
ding.
Said a friend to Mrs. Scatterbrain:
"I think you are getting as bad as
your hubby. I got a note from you yes
terday dated a whole week ahead."
"Heavens."' gasped Mrs. Scatter
brain, trembling with the shock. "My
husband must have posted it the very
day I gave it to him:"—Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph.
Cold Rica.
Cold rice should never be thrown
away—even the smallest quantity can
be used. It can be added to any soup.
A good omelet can be made from a
mixture of minced meat and rice added
to the eggs. It can be used in a dessert
In the form of a plain rice pudding or
a rice custard. Loft over meat can be
chopped and mixed with cold rice, then
moistened with gravy and put In a
baking dish. Cover with breadcrumbs
and bake.
Beyond Repair.
"What happened to you down the
road?'
"I ruined a tire on a nonreflllable
bottle."
"One of those bottles with a patent
stopper?"
"No; Just the ordinary kind, broken
into about fifty pieces."—Birmingham
Age-Herald.
A Long Reach.
"I thought I put that vase out of
baby's reach."
"Well, he yelled for it," explained
dad. "What his arms won't reach his
lungs will."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Time Killer.
"I've got an hour or two to kill. 1
wish I knew what to do."
"Just go over and ask Brown how
the new baby is getting along."

Leather for shoe manufacturing: pur
poses comes under two broail classifi
cations, upper leather and sole leather.
These, as their names apply, are used
respectively for the sole and for the
other portions of the shoe. The upper
leathers most commonly used are calf
skin, coltskln or horsehide and kid.
Calfskin comes in various finishes—
patent, wax, bright, dull, boarded and
velvet Coltskln and horsehide are
used principally as the bases for pat
ent leather, but they are also employed
in dull finish for men's high grade
shoes. Kid may be glazed, patent, peb
bled or morocco, according to the tan
ning process.—New York Post.
Au excellent polish for hardwood
floors may be made at home by putting
ono pint of turpentine into a Jar and
adding to it one-half pound of beeswax
cut into as small pieces as possible.
This should be put into a warm place
where it will melt slowly and may bo
stirred frequently with a slender stick.
When thoroughly dissolved rub a little
on the floor with a flannel cloth and
then polish with the usual floor pol
isher or pad. This tuay be used also
for polishing tables. Care must be
taken not to use too much of the polish
or the wot d will become sticky and It
will bo difficult to get the desired re
sult of a smooth, even gloss.—St Louis
