The knife blade of this electric cutter revolves at the rate of 6,000 times a I minute, with an efficient, modern machine of this kind garments can be cut so rapidly that hundreds of workrooms can be supplied with materials for sewing. Up to August 31 of this year, the American Red Öross had sent to 1 France 10,037,201 hospital garments made in Red Cross workrooms throughout the country and by Red Cross workers. That such a great number of these important garments were turned out in just about a year, is due largely to the use of machinery, not only in the sewing, but in the cutting. The accompanying illustrations show the machines used in marking 'and cutting the patterns, and which rare operated by electricity. The garment material is- placed, -layer upon :layer, several hundred deep, then an lelectrical perforating machine marks Mother's Cook Book Be no longer a chaos, but a world.

After this stencilling machine, as it is called, has marked the pattern, the chalking machine comes into use. This contains either white or black chalk, to contrast with the material In use at the time. It is moved over the holes burned by the stencilling machine to accentuate the outlines of the pattern. The cutting of the material is done with a ten-Inch blade. It is estimated that this machine saves from three to seven cents on each garment. The knife blade on the cutter revolves at the rate of 6,000 revolutions a minute. The combined machines r.encilling, chalking and cutting are able to convert 70,000 yards of material into garment sections, ready to sew, every five and one-half days. 2,399,000 18-45 -Men to Be Called Before July 1 Over 2,000,000 Will Be Fighters Draft calls for men who have passed tlieir thirty-seventh birthdays are ex pected to begin about March 1. Plans for bringing the older class of new registrants into camp have not been completed, but the approximate date Gf fi1G first call was recently disclosed by publication of testimony by Provost Marshal General Crowder before the house military committee. In all, General Crowder told the committee, 2,399,000 newly registered men between eighteen and forty-five, will he called before July 1, and of that number more than two million will l)e physically fit fighting men. The calls for general service will be divided as follows: October, 345,X)00; November, 204,000; December, 197,r)00; January, 147,500; February, 244,000; March, April, May and June, 344,000. These men will supply both the army and the navy and the marine corps. In addition, 20,000 men for limited service will be called each month. General Crowder said the work of classifying new registrants should be completed by January 1. Do You Know That No Jew may purchase land in Russia.

A DOUBTING HEART Where are the walloiv fled? Frozen and dead Percha; ice upon some bleak and StODJ shore. O doubting heart! Far over purplt tea They wait. In sunny ease, The balmy southern breeze, To bring them to their northern home once more. Why must the flowers die? Prisoned they He In the coW tomb, heedless of tears or rain. O doubting heart! They only sleep below The soft white ermine snow While winter winds shall blow. To breathe the smile upon you soon again. The sun has hid its. rays These many days; Will dreary hours never leave the earth? O doubtincr heart! The stormy clouds on high Veil the same sunny sky That soon (for spring Is nigh) Shall wako the summer into golden mirth. Fair hope Is -lead, and light Is quenched In the night,

What sound can break the silence of despair? , O doubting heart! The sky is overcast, Yet s,ars shall rtee at last, Brighter for darkness past, And angels' silver voices stir the air. Adelaide Anne Procter. 1 PAPER ECONOMY HINTS Don't Be Aihamed to Carry An Unwrapped Parcel Tho cnncl AmGrlpnn housewife Rhou(, 0 shopplng wlth a bnsket It.s the fashion! No longer can you be ashamed to carry an unwrapped parthnklng perhups the market bas ket will mark your snobbishness. The war industries board has made an appeal for co-operation to the American women to help the retail stores comply with tho recent order for discontinuing tiie wrapping of pnckllge merclianaiSG ; so do not protest when your dealer asks you to carry home your cabbage, your beets or carrots, your fancy cracker box or lurid sirup can unwrapped. Put your pride in your pocket and your unwrapped parcels in your basket and trudge home cheerfully with them. It is the fashion ! Disdain the paper bag that you really do not need. Only bread, pastry, sugar, tea and such things are entitled to be wrapped just now. Save paper and help gas the Hun, for it means more gas for Fritz every time you say, "Don't wrap it." CULL THE FLOCK At no time has it been more important to cull the flock carefully than now. A good hen is returning to its owner a good profit ; a poor one, a correSp(mdng greater loss. With the gen oral purpose breeds the pullet year is the most profitable. In fact, it will take two pounds more feed to produce a pound of eggs with hens than it will with pullets. No farmer can afford to keep any hen of the general purpose tjTpe after she has passed through the second laying season. All females which have passed the first year of laying should be marketed unless they are to be kept for next year's breeders. If the farmer cannot tell the age of his hens, he can avoid future guesswork by putting a ring on the legs of the pullets. Some features that will help the farmer distinguish hens that have been good egg producers have been noted by the University of Missouri College of Agriculture. In October the poor layers will have yellow shanks, a small dull comb, pin bones close together, and will have completed molting. The good layer will be in the molt, will have pale or almost pink shanks, wrill be ragged in appearance and, if laying, the pin hones will be well spread apart. The good layer, even though in the molt, will start laying just as soon as the early molter. The good layer will have a soft velvety skin while that of the poor layer will be thick and coarse. It will pay to cull the flock if the culling is done right. One of Several Theories as To Origin of Wedding Ring Among several theories as to the origin of the wedding ring is one which is to the effect that before the time of mints1 and coinage the gold money in Egypt was made in the form of a ig, usually worn on the finger as a convenient method of carrying and safe-keeping. The men and women, therefore, had all their gold or wealth made into rings, and for the majorlty of people these rins were n lorfTO,. fl, unric iiu mi (v 4 until inv. piiiiii j'ivt witttvin -- hen the groom placed bride's finger, he meant the modern service makes him say he did exactly Qndow his bride with all his worldly goods. - Amber and Jade Mines.

Humble "Tabby" Important Feature of Fur Trade BROOKLYN. "How's the fur business?" asked one of the passengers on a trolley the other day. "Fine," said his friend ; "I have just got back from St. Louis, where they had the greatest fur auction in the history of the trade." "St. Louis?" said the other man;

"I thought the big fur business was all done in London." "The war has changed all that," said the fur man; "St. Louis was picked as the new fur market because it is a real center and the furs can be sent there from all parts of the world with the least trouble." "Anything especially interesting at the sale?" "Well, the total reached ?G,000,000 and that's some money, even in

these days. By the way, it may surprise you to learn that the common housecat has become quite an important feature of the fur trade." "I have suspected it right along," said the inquisitive man; "otherwise how could every girl you meet, even shopgirls earning $7 a week, wear what looks like agenulne fox around her neck?" "Well, I'm not giving away any of the secrets of the trade," said the fur dealer, "but the fact remains that at the St. Louis sale no less than 13,000 house-cat skins were sold, and at prices that were 30 per cent higher than those of last spring." "I kinda thought I hadn't heard quite so much yowling around my back yard lately."

Downpour of Wine Shocked Staid Hotel Guests MILWAUKEE. Wine flowed from the ceilings of one of Milwaukee's most domestic and decorous family hostelries, and Its atmosphere was heavy With the odor of Burgundy. It trickled down upon the shining pates of sober-minded gentlemen, enjoying aft

The crimson spot on the velvet carpet grew larger and an agitated clerk hastened forward with a receptacle to avert disaster. Afterward the thrifty were heard to remark that the wine might better have been caught In tankards and used as a cure for influenza. Prospective guests about to engage rooms for a season sniffed the air suspiciously ; the wine poured down in a larger stream ; speculation wras rife. Gradually the truth concerning the dripping leaked out. The family occupying a suite just over the hotel lobby had thought to entertain a few friends, and had bought a gallon of wine for the purpose. The hostess, preparing for the party, picked up the decanter from the closet floor, where it had been reposing, started to carry it to the table, and dropped it en route. For a few exciting moments, therefore, wine flowed like water at this home of the sedate, though the people for whom it had been intended felt that the flow was directed in the wrong direction.

Possibly "Mr. Barnes" Lost the Farmer's Currency KANSAS CITY. "Chief, some slickers robbed me of $15,000. Will you help me catch them?" A Swede farmer living in Iowra asked the question of Chief of Detectives Robert Phelan at police headquarters. He said he was In Excelsior Springs a month ago recov-

ering from an illness. While there he became acquainted with two welldressed young men in a hotel lobby who pointed out to him a middle-aged man, who had just entered the lobby. "That's Barnes, wheat king," one of the men said. "He's got several million dollars made it all speculating in wheat since the war began. He gets inside dope on which way the market is going."

, "Why, I know him!" the other young man said. "We usedto Chum together at college. Do you want to meet the wheat king?" The Iowa farmer was introduced. He went to dinner that night with the three men. "Barnes" paid all bils, including a visit to a wine garden and taxicab expenses. "Barnes" agreed to let the others in on his monej'-inaking scheme. "Because you are good guys," he added. A meeting at Shawnee, Okla., was arranged for the following week. The farmer cashed a draft for $15,000, which money he gave to "Barnes," with instructions to operate in the wheat market until the money was tripled. "Barnes" j:old the farmer to meet him in two weeks in St. Louis, where the money obtained from the "killing" would be divided. He waited at a St. Louis hotel a week after the date of the appointment, but "Barnes" failed to appear. Then he went home, where the sheriff told the farmer he had been victimized by "con game sharks." Chief Phelan showed the farmer many pictures in the rogues' gallery at police headquarters. The farmer could identify none of them.

Spoiled Youngsters' Dream of Royal Good Time!

T. LOUIS. Two little boys with bristljT haircuts got off a train at the uuion depot one day last week. Before they got anywhere at all they had to

answer a lot of questions asked by Pat

bothering." The next day these same boys brothers they said they were, and they looked the part called at the station and asked politely for their baggage. Pat O'Connell descended upon them with a cry of triumph. "Here they are again !" he shouted. 'Tve got a notion. Let's look in the suitcase !" The desk sergeant did, and found two complete outfits of little girls' clothing. Then the sergeant consulted a telegram from Tulsa, Okla., and wired baek to Frank Petersen, a consulting engineer, to come on and claim his daughters. Dorothy Petersen, thirteen (the big "boy" admitted she had cashed a check for $115, made out to her mother's order, and had traveled from Tulsa to St. Louis with her sister, Helen, eight, stopping on the way to get the haircut and the clothes that made brothers out of the sisterg. . .

After the sparkling fluid had dripped down unregarded for a few moments, guests of the hotel began to sit up and take notice.

Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Plerce'a Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, tako a hot mustard jfoot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anurlc (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anurlc tablet every two hours, wrIth frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears In a most treacherous way, when tho influenza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad attack of Influenza or pneumonia tho system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic .
