"America For Americans"
MOBILIZING THE COOKS
A trifle may have vast results. Do
mestic canning of finxlstuffs cannot be
called a trlSe In the average thrifty
household. >n:t relative to all the proc
esses of economy
Experts at the «tid thrift It stands
Preserving Kettle out us of minimum
May Give Importance. Tbt
Points to Novices dry product would
on "How"— serve the same pur
pose as the canned,
but not so acceptably. Canning and
preserving have descended in the main
from mother to daughter. Improved
methods have crept In slowly. In spite
of progress, there remain much of
drudgery and uncertainty to discour
age the busy kitchen forces. Fortu
nately the scientists have not over
looked this important branh of domes
tic activity. Schools are equipped for
teaching ami demonstrating, and. be
sides the corps of teachers on duty,
there is a vast reserve of graduates
capable of teaching and demonstrating.
Canning and preserving are not con
fined to rural districts. In the season
fruits and vegetables are in sharp de
mand In the populous cities for storing
up. So it is a national work, and the
sensible suggestion has been made that
experts and novices mobilize for n
training tour on how to preserve both
fruit and vegetables in the easiest, sim
plest, cheapest and. what is of supreme
importance, the safest way.
The supply of 1017 »lmanacs was
not based on the craze for planting
and "growing weather" tips.

SELF TRAINING FOR
THE INFANTRYMAN.
By CAPTAIN GEORGE. L. KILMER.
The Infantry arm la the main feature
of military force on a large scale.
Civilians see more foot soldiers than
horseback fighters and cannoneers.
No special previous training is neces
sary to make n fair Infantry recruit
out of a civilian. The Infantryman Is
all the better for good stature, from
five feet six Inches well on toward six
feet four, and weight 125 pounds to
175.
A man's force of bodily impact may
serve a good purpose In Infantry. Eye
and nerve help In the shooting proc
ess, but the man behind the bayonet
should be as well set up as a pugilist,
as firm on his feet and powerful and
skillful with arms and bands. Good

KIQHT SHOULDCB ASMS.
practice for agility and control Is to
stand erect, with feet together, points
open about one foot, elbows to the rear
and hands, palms Inward, resting on
the hips.
Various movements may be made
from this pose to exercise the back,
shoulders and hips, but It is especially
Important for the Infantryman's train
ing to take it and, while holding shoul
ders firmly back, rise up high on the
toes and repeat it again and again.
The strain here is on the feet, and one
can get further results by bclding to a
strap or rope suspended overhead just
within reach while on the toes and
swaying back and forth and sidewlse.
Practice marches are good training
for infantry. The long march Is un
like the parade ground march in that
the gait is natural, one the soldier falls
Into to be comfortable and get over the
ground. On parade the rifle may bo
carried In various positions, as ordered,
but on the march at "6houlder arms,"
either right or left, is the rule from
choice.
Late Vegetable Crops
For the Home Garden
Replant the ground devoted to rad
ishes and lettuce. Is the suggestion o!
the gardening and canning committee,
Kansas Council of Defense.
In harvesting these crops plan to se
cure open spaces for other and longer
season crops. Beans, cabbage, toma
toes and sweet corn are some of the
vegetables that may be used. A much
larger space is occupied by radishes
and lettuce In the average garden than
the value of these - crops warrants
Both vegetables are low in food con
tent and are used mostly as a relist
In early spring and summer.
As soon as radishes become pithj
and lettuce too tough for use vegeta
bles of greater food value which maj
be canned or stored for winter us<
should occupy the space. If mor<
radishes and lettuce have been planted
than can profitably be used other vege
tables should be started between th<
rows at once.
Tomato and cabbage plants set a
regular intervals In radish or lettuci
rows wBl do splendidly without great
ly reducing the yield of the early vege
tables. The radishes and lettuce wll
be ready for pulling before the tomat<
and cabbage plants have reached suffl
dent size to need the entire space.
Sweet corn and beans may be startei
in lettuce or radish beds with as mucl
success as if the seed were planted li
unoccupied ground. If the beds bav<
been kept free from weeds very llttli
extra cultivation will be necessary un
til the lettuce or radish plant! an
ready for removal
Watering when needed and cleai
culture are two essentials in intercrop
ping. Two crops will need mon
moisture than one, and if weeds an
allowed to grow the yield of botl
crops will be greatly reduced.
To Clean White Felt.
A white felt hat can be readilj
cleaned with a olece of fine sandpaper
If this is not available mix cornmea!
and salt together, using two-thirds ol
meaL Rub in thoroughly and allow tc
stand overnight before brushing out

Vera, or -whatever her name, vanlsl

A STITCH IN TIME
Alaska People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney trouble la unimportant.
• Don't overlook; the slightest back
ache or urinary irregularity. Nature
may be warning you of approach
ing drcpsy, gravel or Bright'g dis
ease Kidney disease seldom is fa
tal If treated In time, but neglect
may pave the way. IKm't neglect a
1 lame or aching back another day.
Don't ignore dizzy spells, Irregular
j or ("iscolored urine, headaches,
weariDess or depression. If you fe
yo.i i.-eed kidney help begin using
, tfc» Tellable, time-tried remedy,
i Doan i Kidney Pills. For 50 years,
i Doin's have been found effective
Fhdore-ed by grateful people.
Mrs. 3. O. Tumor, 608% Tenth
Sf., Sacramento, California, says:
"I underwent three operations and
this severe strain, together with
colds, affected my kidneys. X had
oala through my back and coujd
hardly stoop over for if I tried to,
pains caught me. My back? and limbs
were so stiff I couldn'e move My
' kidnf.vs acted too often. Doan
Kidney Pills have promptly reliev
ed me of every attack of kidney suf
i ferlng."

simply ask for a kidney remedy—

tnat Mrs. Turner had. Poster
