CALLOF FARM
HAND lessons
FOOD SUPPLY
Will Not Be Able to Har-
vest Crops, Says Dele
CATION Here.

On account Of the pressing need for
farm laborers. and the steady drain
on that field Of workers for the hlIIng
Of vacancies in munition factories and
other allied industrial war concerns.
the problem Of supplying ample grain.
foodstuffs and farm products during
the next year will be one of the most
serious problems which America will
have to face.
This statement was made last night
In the Raleigh Hotel at a meeting
of the delegation of farmers from the
New York State Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, in Washington for conferences
with chiefs of departments, regarding
the feeding of American armies and
the allies next year.
The delegation, forty-two strong.
yesterday conferred with Provost
Marshal General Crowder and -Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Houston. They
met last night at the call of 8. L.
Strivings. president of the delegation,
for discussion of the problems facing
them. .,
The acute situation existing In the
farm labor market was illustrated
by several members. The chairman
declared that h had 5000 worth
of beans rotting in the ground on his
farm because he could not find men
to harvest them.
And instance where in the town
ships of Eagle and Gainesville, N. Y,
a portion of a crop OF 10000 bushels
Of potatoies was rescued from a State
Of semi-decay only a short time ago,
by extraordinary efforts, also was
brough to the attention Of the dele
cation.
The labor problem was said to be
the matter on which hinged the supply
Of food during the next year. A
raise in the pay of farm laborers
would. it is pointed out, Increase the
cost to the consumer, and government
regulation Of the prices OF farm pro-
ducts might prohibit such steps.
Definite suggestions for the solu-
tion of the problem will ne made to
officials by the delegation within the
next few days.

WHAT DECAYED TEETH COST
Are More Injurious to the Health Of
Humanity Than Strong
Drink.

Decayed teeth are causing more
harm to the human race than alcohol.
DR.. Alfred c. Zones of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, says that approximately $4,000
600 of persons in the United States
have decayed teeth, notes Popular Sci
ence Monthly. Dentistry's next step,
in his opinion, is to wipe out or pre-
vent tooth decay by a systematic cam
paign Of education on the care of the
teeth among schoolchildren.
How shall this be done? Bridge.
ports plan has attracted wide atten-
ton already. Every child In that city
submits to thorough examination Of
the mouth and is given free treatment.
This type of clinic costs about SO
cents per child per year. The city as
sumes one-half the responsibility in
educating and helping the children to
preserve their teeth. The other half,
which is placed on the child and its
parents, consists in providing proper
food and in caring for the mouth.

FRANKLIN STlRS THE FRENCH
sows Seeds Of Revolution While Act
ing as American Minister at
Paris.

Benjamin Franklin, as American
minister to France, Swed the seeds of
the French revolution and of constitu-
tional government in Europe, accord
ing to DR.. David Jayne Hill, formerly
ambassador to Germany.
Franklin became a craze" Doctor
Hill said recently, land undoubtedly
was one of the greatest diplomatists in
our history His picture was every
where and everywhere he was courted.
Among other places where he was -
vited was to the Society of. Nine Sis
teys and sther Free Mason organizes
tions. In these be preached constitu-
tionalism in an adroit fashion. Later
he became the venerable of the Nine
Sisters and became acquainted with
men who later figured prominently in
the revolution.
"But when Franklin arrived In
France there was no inkling of revo-
luton there. He did not preach against
the king who received him. There was
no secret conspiracy or anything Of
that sort. Franklin merely used those
| organizations rs means of propagat-
ing constitutional doctrines. 1t might
be called his school Of constitutional
ISM"
Doctor Hill said that while Franklin
lived at Passy he had small printing
press In his home. It was generally
said that this was used by the minister
to print "bagatelles," or bits of rhyme,
as a sort of hobby, because Franklin
once had been printer. But he en-
ployed compositor at one time and
ordered large quantities Of type, and
it is believed that he used the printing
press to propagate his doctrines.

200 yards from the mainland. feed
there and return in the evening, They
are never driven, but take their bath
entirely of their own free will. II the
wind is against them on their return
journey, and the sea Is rough, II some
times is necessary for man to put
out in boat and help them over in
turn by holding out his hand under
each cows chin, since they become
dazed If the sea dashes in their faces,
and swim in circles instead Of going
straight ahead.

Masticate FIGS Thoroughly.

The composition Of dried figs, dates
and raisins is similar. Under normal
conditions, and when carefully pre-
pared, all three fruits are excellent
food for both children and grown
people. The fruit should be thorough
ly masticated, however, and for young
children, or In any case where the
skins may prove indigestible, It is
safer TO run the fruit through the food
chopper before otherwise preparing or
serving it.-Woman's Home Compan-
