The speaker told OF the treatment,
which, because Of lack of proper food
and clothing, seems cruel. This, he ex-
plaihed, whs due to the inability of the
countries holding the prisoners to do
better. rather than to any intentional
harshness. @

the speaker explained that the Y. NJ.
c. A. is the only organization in the
world which the heads of the warning
nations will permit to work Tor relief
among these camps. He told how the
Y. NJ. c. A. is proceeding to relieve
this monOtony. Music is the best means
of relief. In the prison camps arc
skilled musicians who went to the front
when war began. These men the
NJ. c. A. selects as leaders. Their fell
lows are supplied with musical instru-
ments and orchestras and choral So
cieities are organized.
Food to relieve the monotony of the
prison diet is provided by the relief
work and shoes, overcoats and blankets
are given. Last year q shipment of
$4,000 footballs was sent from this
country to Europe to be used in these
prison camps.
The convocation was the largest of

DON'T NEGLECT THE CANNING
CLUBS

Atlanta, Ga, Don't neglect the
canning clubs and home canning
plants, is the advice being given
this week by Commissioner of Agri-
culture J. J. Brown He says:
" A great deal of relief in whatever
food crisis confronts us may be had
by putting up canned foodstutfs
In the garden planting attention
should be given to those things
which will be available for canning.
Just what to can, and how to can
it, so it will keep, has been careful
ly and thoroughly worked out by
the State College of Agriculture, and
the College viii gladly give the peo-
pie of the State any needed infor-
nation if they will ask for it. The
College has done a great work
along that line already, through its
direct efforts and through its in
structors, and the time seems now
to be coming on us when the result
Of that work is going to count for
good deal. Where a surplus can
be produced of canned goods, above
the needs of the family, it should
he done. That surplus can be ac-
by communities and tax
en- care of in the market when the
time comes. / would particularly
caution the people generally, though,
To thoroughly post themselves,
through information obtain hi e
from the College, on putting up the
canned stuff the right way, and so
1t will keep properly. "

CLEAN UP THE PLACE.

Flies are a pest that can be con-
trolled ii YOU will practice few
preventative measures.
A. Haul out and spread the
manure once a week.
B. Treat themanure with borax
or white hellebore to kill the mag
gots and eggs.
/. Borax is sprinkled over the
manure at the rate of 10 ounces to
8 bushels of manure. Pour 2 or 3
gallons of water over the manure
after the borax has been added.
This will cause the borax to be car
ried into the manure, Be sure and
sprinkle the outer edges, for this is
where the maggots gather before
going into the next stage of develop
ment.
2. Dissolve one-half pound OF
white hellebore in 10 Pallons Of wa
ter and sprinkle thoroughly over
the manure.
3. If it is Convenient to remove
the manure each week, it may be
treated with the bcrax and hellebore
in the stables, Calculate the amount
of manure in stlble and use them
in the same proportion as above.
4. Make or buy fytraps early in
the season and use them all the time
during the fly season. Elk.
