WHY NOT BOOKS
AS We'll as Donation Of Money for
Soldiers Libraries?

Editor of The Reformer:-
Among recent items of news we find
that a movement has been started to
raise a fund of million dollars to pro-
vide our soldiers with libraries. How
ever bitter the necessity, no body of
men can concentrate all of its mental
power upon single end for a con-
siderable period of time, without suf
fering a marked deterioration in work
ing power. 1t is still true that ''all
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy, and it matters not whether Jack
be eleven, twenty one or seventy-one
years of Sge.
The 'intensive' training that we
read about at Plattsburg and elsewhere,
makes a heavy demand upon the ply
steal systems of the men. Change and
relaxation are necessary to maintain
normal balance, and to conserve power
which must be expended over a period
of months, to say the least. While
muscles are recuperating, the mind can
be employed insists upon work
ing. 1t is wise, then, to put a generous
supply of good books within easy
reach of our soldiers at the various
lcantonments.
While | wish every success to the
| efforts of those who are trying to raise
money for the contemplated Libraries, /
also believe that a well-directed appeal
to our citizens all over the country,
would result in the donation of hun
dreds of thousands Of books for the sol
diers libraries. Grant that the selec-
ton of volumes would be somewhat in
ferior to one made by a committee Of
| Librarians; nevertheless, the majority
of those donated would be suitable, and
the money expended could be applied
in such manner that the final result
would come very near the ideal.
| 1t is doubtless true that people, who
love books, reckon them among the
most precious of their household goods
land are inclined to hang on to them.
In the present case, however,, a host of
people will gladly loosen up and
share their treasures with their rela-
tives, friends, townsmen and country
men who are about to risk their lives
s'to make the world safe for democra-
CIV. Conditions demand sacrifices
from US all, and here is one way that
many can help.
If number of the citizens of Brat
tleboro think we'll of the plan, a letter
can be written to the committee in Bos
ton having the matter in charge, Of
fering to donate books. This might
start the ball rolling, and then the well
known case of the SNOWFALL would fl
the situation. If something practica
can be undertaken, | will contribute {
number of books from my own store
| trust The Reformer will test the feel
ing of the community.
Yours in the interest of all honorable
methods for downing autocracy anC
bringing permanent peace.

FOOD VALUE OF POTATOES.
Fairly Rich in Mineral Matter the
Body Needs.

The office of information of the depart
ment of agriculture authorizes the follow
ing:
There is no food which exactly takes
the place of the potato when one is accus-
toned to it, says a statement issued by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture, urging an increased consumption
of this vegetable now that the markets of
the country are well supplied. 1t has
come to be such part of our dinner that
we miss it when it is not served. Besides,
any leftover potato can be used in many
very palatable ways for breakfast or sup
per, and this is a convenience from the
housekeeper's standpoint, since it helps
her to make palatable meals. Not only is
it useful, but it is very important for the
food material it supplies. 1t is one of the
most wholesome sources of starch and is
also fairly rich in the mineral matter
which the body needs. When the price
permits potatoes should by all means be
made part of the diet

MORE NURSES NEEDED.
Council of National Defense Makes APP
peal to Young Men and Women.

The Council Of National Defense is
sending out broadcast an appeal for
Young men and women TO take up the
profession of nursing. The great de-
mand for nurses in the Red Cross serv
ice has made the need for new recruits
a pressing necessity. The country IS
depending upon its professionally
trained nurses to care for the sick and
wounded men Of our army in France.
Already several hundred have been
called into the service, and in the COM
ing months several thousands more may
be needed. who will be recruited not
only from the ranks of private duty
nurses, but also from among public
health nurses, teachers and executive
officers and nurses in hospitals aud
training school. 4 steady depletion in
the rank of our skilled nurses is there
fore inevitable. -
This is a grave situation, says
the Council of National Defense. We
must provide the best nursing care for
orr army; we must carry on with I'M
| diminished energy the nursing work in
our hospitals at home; we must also
be ready, as war proceeds, to care for
great numbers of disabled men; we must
| me- tioAiiss - tiit WIN IL
which nurses are engaged, especially
where the health of the nation s chill
dren are at stake. Highly skilled
nurses will be needed as never before,
and in greatly increased numbers. In
one way only can the loss of trained
nurses be made good, and that is by
training others to take their places, and
the appeal of the Council of National
Defense is made directly to young men
and women for this purpose. :
An interesting feature of the hospital
units being organized for work in
France, as well as with the environments
here, is the psychiatric division for the
detection, prevention and treatment of
nervous aud mental disorders which
may and do develop under the exigel-
cies of war; The public generally is
under great misapprehension regarding
this form of illness; of the need of ear
ly treatment when symptoms of IRA
tional thinking present themselves and
when lack of adjustment with people
and conditions about them is evidence j.
The nursing of this type of illness has
taken great strides in the past decade.
This field of nursing is comparatively
new, and the opportunities for rapid
advancement with its development are
excellent. The work too is interesting
and instructive.
