MAN'S OFFICERS TO PAIL
"Slouchiness" of Various kinds is
named ,by H. P. McCain, adjutant
geseral of the United States, as
one cliief reason why aspirants for
Officers' Reserve Corps fail. It is
a "mental and physical indiffer
ence", He finds the fault evident
la inaccuracy of thinking and act
Ins, obscure enunciation, carlessness
and awkwardness of bearing.
The blamii for such a condition
the adjutant general lays with the
national school system, where suffi
cient emohasii has not been put
upon mental and physical alertness.
Many men fail at camp because
of Inability to articulate perfectly.
A. man who cannot issue commands
cleurly cannot be trusted with hu
man lives. Not only must he speak
distinctly, but with a certain volume,
As to careless thinking and poor
carriage, the officer said:
"Too many- schools are satisfied
wlta an approximate answer to a
Question. Little or no Incentive is
given increased mental effort to co
ordinate one's ideas and present
them clearly and unequivocally. It
is next to impossible for military
instructors to do much to counter
act the negligence of schools in
this regard. This again has cost
many men their commissions at
cam;.. Three months is too phort a
time in which to teach an Incor
rigbJle "b«atei^about-the-t>ush" that
thors is but one way to answer a
question oral or written, and that
is positively and accurately .
"I have further noted at camp
that (Cven some of our better mili
tary schools have turned out prod
ucts that may have the bearing ot
a soldier in ranks, but a carriage
totally different as soon as they
"fail out."
"A last important element thai
seems to me hag been lacking in
tha moral and mental makeup ol
some of our students here is the
characteristic of grit. Xot thai
they would have proven cowardly in
battle, necessarily, but some have
exhibited a tendency to throw up
the sponge upon the administratioi
of a severe rebuke or criticism."

"HELPING MR. HOOVER" 19
NEW CLASS AT U. OF W.
A new course wiich. might be
called Helping Hoover la being
offered tbia fall on the Universitj
of Washington campus ! under the
direction of Miss Mary F. Rausch oi
the extension division. The class
meets every week and all are be
ginners because the subject is en
tirely new. There is no discrimina
tion against men, and the classes
are growing rapidly.
Some of Mr. Hoover's requests
were announced by Miss Rausch at
iier first lecture. The Bubstance o(
rt'm was this: Use a little less
sug; i, meat and beans, one ounce
less fat. ?Ld 25 per cent less
wheat. More careful planning is
all that will be required to make
thij saving. Miss 'Rausch said.
Mis? Gertrude Elliott, another
speaker, suggested that several
housekeepers might club together
with their buying to secure a better
price. Buying for just her own
family the housekeeper can figure
ou staoles she needs for one month
or several months and can. buy by
th» dozen cans, the box or the hun
dredweight. It is a svaing in time,
money and cans to buy goods need
ed in large quantities in large cans.
Scraps of fat not suitable for
table use may be sold to the soap
maker or made into soap at home.
This is easily done and because of
the purity of the product saves
mere money than selling the fat.
Mrs. Elliott gave this soap recipe:
1 can lye dissolved in 3 pints of
watef; to this solution, when coll
ed, add 5 pounds of grease which
has been melted Btrained and cool
ed. The mixture is stirredt until
it is of the consistency of honey and
then poured into molds.
LEARNTSG LESSONS IX THRIFT
The actual arrival of a sugar fa
mine brought the fact of war home
to millions of Americans; and the
sweetest tooth in the world has
been compelled temporarily at least
to deny itself. Other self-denialg
will have to be practiced before the_
war ends, even if peace comes a«
scon as optimists think; and these
lessons should not be lost after the
war is over. It has long been a
maxim abroad that a French fam
ily could live on what au Ameriican
family wastes; and because of
French thrift, France was for a gen
eraticn the banker of the old
world. If Americans can take from
the war the habit of thrift in any
measure as the French possess it,
we shall have gained something for
ourselves.

Oh! My Back! J
Itie Expression of Many >* Kidney
Sufferer. 4 \
A stubborn j backache is cause to
suspect kidney trouble. When the
kidneys are inflamed and swollen,
stooping brings a sharp twinge in
the small of the back that almost
takes the breath away. Doan's Kid
ney Pills revive sluggish kidneys
relieve aohing backs. Here's con
vincing proof of merit, j
Mrs. M. Holmes, ll) 16 Indian St.,
Bellingham, Wash., eays: "For quite
awhile 1 had a dull, heavy ache
across the small of my back. Often
when I straightened after stooping
sham pains seized me in my sides.
I had terrible headaches and dizzy
spells ;and my kidneys didn't act
regularly, la the morning I was
alwayg tired and worn out. After
I had used one box of Doan's Kid
ney Fills 1 could see they were
help,'eg me. My back got stronger
and my kidneys acted regularly."
(Statement given October G,
1915.) |
Ou July 31, 1916 Mrs. Holmes
said; "My opinion of Doan's , Kid
ney Fills hasn't changed. 1 have
always received splendid results
from them." ,
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Holmes had. Foster-Mil
