RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF i t J a k l: .i. J r ri t 10 MOBILIZE 5EPI. I ' Jttt.OOO CONSCRIPTED MEN CALL ED TO THE COLORS. ' ASSEMBLE IN HOME STATE Local Board! to Have Charge Until , Soldiers Reach Camp Food Legislation Enacted. Washington. Two hundred and twenty-nine thousand men, one-third of the 087,000 to ho drufted for army service, will bo called to tho colors on September 1 and will bo sent to train ing camps beforo Septotubcr S under en order Just Issued to governors of ell states by Provost Murshnl Crow der. Calling of these men will bring tho strength of the United States army up to 1,000,000 men. v Should any of these men be reject ed nt tho enmps, district exemption boards will bo notified and will be expected to make good tho deficiency. Decision of tho provost marshal general to have tho llrst 220,000 men entrained for cantonment camps by September f has necessitated tre mendous activity In all supply depart ments. Vast amounts of supplies are yet to bo mobilized. The whole business of assembling tho levies nt entraining points, pro viding them with shelter, food and transportation nnd giving them their actual Introduction Into military Hfo Is entrusted to the clvlllun local boards which selected them for serv ice. Until tho men. reach the camps they will not bo In contact with uni formed ofllcors. Tho civilian control Is cnrrled for ward through every stage of th draft to tho gates of the military camps, where tho making of soldiers will begin, to be completed within sound of the guns In France. Provost Mnrshal General Crowder bas put In the hands of all adjutant gcnorals detailed Instructions cover ing tho mobilization. Food BUI Passed and 8lgned. Washington. By a voto of 00 to 7, the senate passed the food control bill, as approved by the house, and the measure Is now a law of tho land, having received the signature of president Wilson. The conference report on tho ad ministration bill appropriating money to lncronso food production and for a food survey also was adopted by the senate. In addition to Its comprehensive provisions for control of food, fuel, fertilizer nnd farm equipment, the control bill carries drastic prohibition features. Thirty days after it Is ap proved It will be unlawful to uso food atuffs In tho manufacture of distilled spirits for bevornge purposes, and the president will bo empowered to com mandeer for military purposes distil led liquors now held In bond and to regulate or restrict the uso of foods tn tho manufacture of wine and beer. Herbert O. Hoover has already be gun tho task of putting tho law Into effect. . Eighty Per Cent Ask Exemption. Washington. Wholesale claims for exemption from tho army draft, re ported from many sections, caused Provost-Marshal General Crowder to telegraph the governors of the states directing that local boards reduce dis charges for dependency to a far more restricted class and to very necessi tous and clearly defined circum stances, i In some districts as high as 80 per cent of the registrants callod for dis charge on the ground of dependent relatives. Says Russia Won't Quit Now York. If the German drive through demoralised Russia should result In the capture of Petrograd It self and that Is not at all Improbable such n Teutonic success would not mean the end of Russia as a factor In tho war. Russia would "come back." That Is the opinion of George A. Gaston, head of tho a big Importing and exporting Arm here, which, slnco tho beginning of tho war, has been supplying motor vehicles to tho allies. Physical Test Modified. Washington. Revised regulations to govern physical examination of men registered under the selective draft were issued by Surgeon General Oorgas of tho army, and communicat ed to tho governors of the states for Information of local boards. The changes deal for the most part with questions of proportionate weight and height, but may result in tho recall of some men rejected heretofore on physical grounds. HORROR OF DESERT WARFARE Dust, Heat and Files Are Worst Plagues From Which Soldiers 8uffer In Mesopotamia. Hardships nnd discomforts of the British campaigns in Palestine and Mesopotamia aro the themes of mnny letters written by soldiers serving un der tho commands of General Sir Archlhnld Murray. In Palestine, or Major General Mnude, In Mesopotamia. "If you want to see a muddle, you ought to see n camel convoy under shellflre," writes one man from tho vicinity of Gnza, dn southern Pales tine. "The natives who leud the camels run away at the first Bhot, and then tho white men try to Induce, by nil the profanity they can muster, those cnmels to hurry out of range or under the cover of a hill. All tho time good lives are being lost trying to save the convoy, which perhaps has tho water supply for thousnnds of- men on the firing line.' Dust, hent and flies are tho worst three plagues of Mesopotamia from the soldiers' standpoint, writes one of the privates who suffered from them. "To you," he adds, "the flies would bo quite Inconceivable. They settle In great clusters on everything. Soine of them can sting nnd bite severely. With the coming of nightfall the ordinary llles disappear nnd the mosquitoes and snndflles take their places. The snndlly is nn Insidious plague. You have to wear a very flue suffocating mesh on your face, and at nlgh.t you must spray thin acid over your fuco to get any peace. The temperature goes up from 110 to 1-12 degrees In tho shade. The morning's work being done, you Ho In your tent with the flop up. You almost gasp for breath. Anxiously you await the going down of tho sun. You wear a toupee or a wet towel ou your head. One very rarely wears much clothing, nnd you lend the simple life. The heat takes all pride from you. You're Just bathed In dust nnd sweat. "You can get sunstroke through the small of your back. Tho hot wind, bad ne It Is, Is better than tho com plete stillness, nlthough It bounces off tho earth, flinging sand nnd dust nil over you. You eat sand nnd brenth it; you lie down in it; it's In your mouth, eyes, cars and clothes. Theso things leave Mesopotamia burnt into your memory forever." STORE FRUIT JUICES How to Prepare for the Future Comfort of the Family. All FRUITS CAN IE UTILIZED Grape Juice Sirup Made From Wind fall Apples and Apple Cider Here Is a Flno Flavor Ing Sirup. (From tho United States Department of Agriculture) Various fruit juices may bo prepared In tho home and bottled for futuro use. Practically any fruit may bo used In the first rcclpo following. Sterlllied Fruit Juices. Tho fruit Juice may be pressed out of fruit by means of u elder press, speclnl fruit press, or other Improvised presses ; then heated In an ncld-proof kettle up to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Tho fruit Julco niny then be poured Into ordlnnry hot Jars, -hot bottles, or tin cans, and han dled by the same directions as those for entitling of fruit Itself. If poured into miscellaneous bottles, It Is sug gested that the fruit Juice bo sterilized ns follows: Make n cotton stopper and press Into the neck of the bottle nnd leave during the sterilization period. Set bottles In boiling hot water up to the J neck of the bottle, sterilizing tno lruir. juice for 30 minutes at a simmering temperature (105 degrees Fahrenheit). Remove the product, press cork in top over cotton stopper Immediately. If the cork (Its well, no purallln need bo used. If n poor ccrk, It may be necessary to dip the cork In melted solution of wax or. parallln. Fruit juices nnd apple elder when hnndled In this way will not "flutten in tnsto" and will keep fresh for future use. Grape Juice by Two-Day Method. For homo use there arc a largo num ber of varieties of grupes which will mako a pleasant nnd healthful drink. No mutter whut the kind of grape, however, only elenn, sound fruit should be used nnd it should bo well ripened, but not overripe. Tho grapes should first be crushed nnd pressed In nn ordinary elder mill, or by hand It no mill Is available. Red Juice. For red Julco, tho crushed grapes aro heated to abont 200 degrees Fahrenheit beforo tho Julco Is separated from tho pulp nnd then strained through n clean cloth or drip bag without pressure. Thereafter, tho process Is tho eomo ns for light-colored juice. Grape Julco should bo stored nway in bottles or Jars that nro not too large, for after theso hnvo been opened tho Julco Is likely to spoil. If properly made, however, tho Julco should keep Indefinitely ns long ns It is kept in sealed bottles. 8lrun Made From Windfall Apples and Apple Cider. Add flvo ounces of powdereil calcium curbonnto (obtained at any drug store) to seven gallons of applo elder. Powdered calcium car bonnte (carbonate of lime) or, to give It Is common name, precipitated chalk, Is low-priced and hnrmless. Boll the mixture In a kettle or vat vigorously for live minutes. Pour tho liquid Into vessels, preferably glass Jars or pitch ers: allow to stand six or eight hours, or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear liquid into a preserving kettle. Do not allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add to the clear liquid one level teaspoon ful of lime carbonate and stir thor oughly. The process Is completed by boiling down rapidly to n clear liquid. Use density gauge or candy thermome ter and bring the temperature up to 'J'JO degrees Fahrenheit. If n thermom eter Is not available, boll until bulk Is reduced to one-seventh of the original volume. To determine whether tho sirup Is cooked enough test as for candy by pouring a little Into cold water. If boiled enough It sliouiu nave the consistency of maple sirup. It should not be cooked long enough to harden like candy when tested. When tho test shows thnt the sirup has been cooked enough, pour It Into fruit Jars, pitchers, etc., and allow It to cool slowly. Slow cooling Is Im portant, as othcrwlso the suspended matter will not settle -properly nnd tho sirup will be cloudy.

For months tho commission has gathered facts as to production costs and In a recent report to congress poinwa oat Cowbells 8ave Cherries. W. A. Bull of 'Igo, Cal., saved his big cherry crop with cowbells oper ated by a water wheel. Bull has an orchnrd up South Fork creek. His cherries ripened, but as fast 88 they matured birds picked them off. Bull rigged up sorao ordinary scarecrows. They did well enough for a day or so, or until the wlso birds de tected tho fraud. As a last resort Bull trlod several cowbells in tho trectops, nnd to tho tinklers attached strings, which he Jerked from his front porch. Tho cow bells' Jnngllng scared the birds awny nil right and bid loir to bovo tho cherry crop, but Bull got tired of Jerking the strings all day long. Now ho has a wnter wheel thnt runs his wlfo's churn. So Bull nttnehea tne strings to the churn dasher. As tho water wheel went Its rounds tho churn dnBher bobbed up and down nnd tho cowbells kept up their Jangling in tho treetops all day long. The birds wero scared away effectu ally and Bull Baved his cherry crop. Chinese Printer's Job. Chinese characters do not express ounds although tho pitch of the voice Is significant. Their letters are Ideo graphs, or writing of ideas or things. Hence tho Chinese have no alphabet, strictly speaking. For this reason, says Popular Science Monthly, the Chinese must employ an astounding number of characters. It takes about 10,000 char acters to print a book In the Chinese language; yet sometimes aa entire thought or a whole sentence is repre sented by one character 1 The word "black" Is one character, and so is "mother," "dead," "yes," "yellow," and a great many other words. With such a conglomeration, is it any wonder that tho American printer wonders how it is possible to print anything in Chi nese? Chicken Not an Animal. A chicken raiser cannot be com pelled to keep his chickens in an in closure, but he la answerable for dam ages if tho Injured party brings suit. Although the supreme court' gave an exhaustive opinion on one occasion, declaring a goose to bo an animal and bo under tho protection of laws pro hibiting cruelty to animals, it has never held u chicken to be an animal, and so tho chicken Is not amenable to laws govornlng tho taking up of ani mals if they trespass on a neighbor's property. The laws, as they are now, aro vague as far as damages from trespassing chickens are concerned. His Trouble.

HATS CAUSE MARITAL ROW Woman's Weakness for Millinery Causes Husband to 8eek Separa tion In Court. W. N. U., LINCOLN, NO. 33-1917. A Luscious Trio Yellow Tomato, Kumquat and Strawberry Preserves. Diffident Opinion. "Do you believe In the theory of re Incarnation?" "Yes," replied the cautious man. "I have great respect for it as n theory. But, as in tho case of a great many, theories, I have my doubts whether It Is practical." (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Jams are made of small fruits which are not whole or firm enough to use for preserves. No attempt Is made to retain the original shape of the fruit, the finished product having a uniform consistency. Marmalades have a more Jellylike texture and thin slices of the fruit appear suspended through out the mixture. In fruit butters and pastes frequently less sugar Is used than In Jams and the product Is more concentrated. Conserves may be made of large or small fruits, cooked In the same manner as Jams. Sometimes nuts are added. In stirring Jams use a wooden spoon or paddle, moving It across the cen ter of tho vessel first one way and then the opposite, and next around the pan, gently moving tho mixture from tho bottom of .tho pan, being careful not to stir rapidly or beat. Cook the Jam to 105 degrees Centigrade or 221 de grees Fahrenheit, if a thermometer Is used. If a cooking or chemical thermome ter la available moro accurate results can bo obtnlued by its use. The prop er condition of tho cooked fruit can be determined approximately, how ever, without tho uso of such instru ments. For determining when they are finished most Jams may be given tho same test as finished Jelly; that is, when a little Is held a moment and cooled in u spoon, ft will not poor from the sldo of the spoon, but will fall in a sheet or flake. This Is not true of Jams made of peaches, cherries, straw berries, and other fruits not contain ing pectin, tho Jellying principle. When using such fruits, cook until tho Jam Is of the desired consistency. Well-glazed hermetically scaled stoneware Jars with capacity of eight Ounces and up, aro suitable and at tractive containers for packing Jams, marmalades, etc. Large-necked bot tles, glasses, etc., also may bo used and Benlcd with cork, poraflln, etc. Jams and marmalades may bo pack ed hot in sterilized Jars, glasses or large-necked bottles, and sealed Imme diately. When packing for market, however, It is far safer, to process them both to insure sterilisation and a tight seal. Process pints for 80 minutes at simmering (87 degrees Centigrade or 188 degrees Fahrenheit). Berry Jam In selecting berries for Jam the ripe, broken ones will give fine color and flavor, but about one- half the quantity should be slightly un derripe. This Is necessary to give a Jelly-like consistency to the product Cooking In small quantities also helps to retain color and flavor. Weigh the berries and allow three-fourths of a pound of sugar to each pound of fruit Rapid cooking with constant care Is essential. Peach Jam. Two and one-quarter nounds neaches cut Into small pieces, one nound sugar, six whole allspico, one cracked peach seed, ono Inch gin ger root, one-half cupful peach Juice, one-half tenBpoonful whole cloves, one tenspoonful clnnnmon bark, one sprig mace.

Quince Paste. Three-fourths pound powdered sugar for each pound of fruit pulp. Wipo tne iruu, cui mia quarters, remove flower and core, and cook in water until very tender. After rubbing tho pulp through a sieve, weigh it and add tho required amount of sugar. It Is then cooked until very thick. Scalded and chopped nut ker nels may bo added.

Chicago. Mrs. John W. Olson's primo weakness was hats. But her husband found little interest in the millinery magazines with which their home was strewn. Neither did he en Joy standing before show windows In which Parisian creations were exhib ited. That Is where the trouble started. "Billy" 8tamm was twenty-two, well tailored and good-looking. He adored millinery and be was an artist at turn ing out nifty headgear from a miscel laneous assortment of trimmings. So Stamm. being an old friend of the fam ily, became an extremely friendly per son to Mrs. Olson and finally they opened a hat store together. Then Ol son left home. He has filed suit for divorce, naming Stamm, whose ability to trim hats, he alleges, has wrecked the Olson home.
