Soldiers Clad in steel,

Getting its inspiration from the val
liable service already performed by the
steel helmet, la Nature Of Paris ,sug-
&ests that the soldiers entire body
should be c.sed iii armor. Ii proposes,
says Popular Science Monthly, that
the sides of the head, neck and upper
part of the chest be covered with q
gorget, a kind of color. and the loins
with a kind Of skirt, like the lower
part Of a h%abergean, both in chain
mail. a cuirass, Or breastplate, of mov-
able plates Of steel would protect the
chest and back, and hinged steel elbow
pieces and knee pieces would cover the
Joints. A face mask and goggles would
complete the suit. The armor would
be light enough to afford perfect free
dom of action.

HOW TO CONDUCT CHILDREWs HEALTH CONFERENCE

The above is the title of a bulletin Of
the children's bureau. A children's
health conference is a form Of baby
developed for those VINO DO not
believe in taking advantage OF the COM
petitive instinct, at least so far as baby
shows are concerned.
The old fashioned baby show had
nothing to commend it except that it
stimulated a desire on the part of I'LL
mothers to have babies that were best
in some li~ne--looks, fat, weight, hair,
eyes, clothes or winsome ways. In a
health conference babies are examined
and the results Of the examination are
marked down in a recOrd sheet
1T is not against the rules of the
game to have visitors around when the
hahies are examined. However, Drs.
Bradley and Sherbon. who write this
bulletin, think it best not to have them.
The nearer this show comes to being
10 free medical examination by com
petent physicians made in quiet rooms
the better. There should be wall charts,
diagrams and pictures. lectures and
speeches.
A new fashioned baby show comes in
between. 1t has all that children's
hAafth conference has, but in addition
It takes advantage OF the we'll nigh
universal desire, or almost Instinct, for
competition. The babies are examined,
marked on score cards, scores are com :
pnted and prizes are awarded.
There are some who prefer the health
conference For such the children'e
bureau has had this bulletin Of instruc-
ti0ns prepared. In a children'e health

INCREASE YIELD BY PRUNING
Pinch OFF Center Buds, Thus Throwing
Energy of Plants to Formation
and Ripening of Fruit.

The yield and quality Of many veg
etables can be increased by pruning
and pinching off center buds, thus
throwing the energy of the plants to
the formation and ripening Of fruit.
With muskmelons and cantaloupes !
always pinch off the center bud of the
main vine when it reaches length OF
four or five feet, says writer. Gu
cumbers are treated in like manner.
Such treatment results in increased
size Of the fruit and Fastening OF
maturity. For the same reason the
ends of pole and lima bean vines are
pinclsed off when they reach height
Of six feet.
Tomato vines expected to yield an
early crop are pruned severely. But
three stalks are allowed to develop, all
side shoots being pinched off as soon
as they begin to form. The three stalks
are firmly supported by a stake four
feet in height.
When the vines reach the top Of the
stake the center bud is pinched out.
This stops height growth and throws
all the energy Of the vine to the de-
veloping and ripening Of fruit already
set. By following this method l have
obtained as high as 40 fine, perfect
tomatoes from a single plant.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
Supplies Are Needed for Armies Fight

Says Dean Woods.

Every family should have its own
garden this year. "To do SO will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A. F. Woods OF the
Minnesota College Of Agriculture.
'To hasten the close of the war,
adds Dean Woods, eve must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo'
pie Of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravaganza
They should make gardens not only IN
their back yards, but in their front
yards as well, and on vacant lots
They should organize garden clubs, in
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs not
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by in
tensive effort"
Dean Woods urges boys and girls
clubs, Boy Scouts, teachers, preachers
and all public-spirited citizens to leae
In this work.

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill! Plays Important Part in
Production of Food.
Lack Of Timely Rainfall Is Often
Doom of Otherwise Carefully Han
died and Tended Patch-Con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year in the
great food-production campaign, is the
belief of H. B. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year," said Professor
Walker. 1T should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy Of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
Of timely rainfall is often the doom Of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
failure of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method Of ir-
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and we'll in lifting water for ir-
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith

not save the garden unless the owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at slow
rate. Consequently, if the water
pumped is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
trickling flow does not spread laterally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, a volume sufficiently large
can be secured in a surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate much
larger area. A barrel Of water con7
tanning 311s gallons will cover a gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity OF
water even as small as this, if properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. 1t
is advisable, therefore, to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage, if moth
ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days is
much more desirable.
