War and Insanity.

During the first month of the great
war people began to call the war "a
madness" and to say that not only the
artillery fire but the very speculation
upon where it would all lead to were
"maddening" all this during August
1914. Since then the accusation of mad
ness has been made by somebody against
every people, every ruler and pretty
much every policy developed during the
past two awful years. And within a
few months President Wilson, who
should have been inca pable of using such
loose phrase in a public address, de-
clared that the whole world was war
mad" Under such stress and strain does
the whole world live at present. even in
geographically sheltered America, that
the phrase of hyperbole has, become a
universal idiom in common talk.
Everybody's nerves are so keenlv on
edge that he is more convinced than ever
that pretty much everybody except him
self is crazy to begin with. Dean Swift's
declaration that most of the crazy people
were loose and the sane ones shut up in
asyums never had wider acceptance
among the general public. 1t all depends
some fexibility of definition, and scarce
ly any statement is too broad, or any
accusation too startling to be incapable
of defense with strong arguments APP
pealing to the five senses of men.
DIR. William Graham of Belfast, an
Irish alienist, has just included in an
annual report striking opinion of the
high tonic value for mankind of war
He says there is no doubt that insanity.
as we'll as crime. has lessened during the
period of war; and he finds the explana-
tion simple enough, namely, that under
the tremendous stimulation of the need.
many men who have never known how
TO live" have thrown off neurasthenic
weakness and have defied "the spell of
ancient inhibitions and long established
impractical bilities and gone forth TO face
wounds and death" In a word, men
have been shaken out OF their stifening
habits. and actually renewed in the spir-
il of their minds" albeit as with club
Beyond doubt, the war has given the
world something to CRY for. and vast
host of minor and relatively imaginary
woes have disappeared as if BY magic.
This phenomenon, OF course, is something
which we do not see in this country. ex-
cept IN occasional reflections. but 10 i
the great marvel Of life in England and
on the continent. Here are folk smitten
10 the ground BY the hammer Of bru-
tai force; but unconquerable and undis-

A Useful Recipe Book.

The canning of fruits and vegetables
on the farm is growing into an industry
of some Importance from commercial
point OF view, and OF inestmabe value
! from the standpoint Of home economies.
In almost every general farming com
munity in the country are raised great
quantities OF fruits and vegetables that
never reach the market fresh, and in the
past most OF this has been waste or at
best stock food. For years, through its
canning clubs, the department of agri-
culture has been spreading knowledge OF
how TO preserve this food for winter use
in the home, and for shipment TO mar
ket. Formerly the most thrifty house
wives always put up few preserves"
TO vary the farm diet in the winter, these
being limited almost TO fruits Now, on
many farms, not only fruits but vegeta
bles and greens" are regularly preserved
according to the methods taught by the
department. "A can of fruit, can OF
vegetables, and can of greens for ev-
cry American family for every day in
the year" is one of the slogans OF the
state relations service, which has charge
of this work.
Recently this bureau sent out a call
to its field agents in all parts OF the
country to come TO Washington for a
special course in canning. In the we'll
equipped government laboratories, these
men and women, who do the actual dem
onstration work on the farms, were Civ
en- a systematic course of lectures and
experiments by DIR. George L. Ferrall.
who is the governments expert on the
subject OF fruit and vegetable canning.
One point emphasized by DR.. Ferrall
is that the whole burden OF this work |
should not be thrown upon women The |
farm woman cannot possibly preserve
all the fruits and vegetables which can
be used or sold by the family, and the |
men should therefore help whenever pos
sible
This book will be OF great help to
every woman who cooks. 1t gives l53
recipes for tasty and attractive dishes
that can be made from canned foods 1t
gives recipes for making sauces, pastes
