found the answer. The question
is: "What can / do. now that
my country is at war, to help? What
shall be my part and how shall l play
it with credit to myself and to the ad-
vantage of my cOmmunity?" Probably
the answer lies closer home than most
of us imagine The first thing we
women must learn is-to not be terri
fled. Some of those who are dear to
us-dearer than life, perhaps-must
follow the flag. We must school our
selves to be willing to see them go and
acquit ourselves as beseems first-cIass
women There is no use shaking hands
with trouble until we meet it, but if
we must meet it, let us meet it bravely.
The women of France have made a
glorious record for themselves and we
shall not be less courageous.
We can conserve food and clothing
against the time of need. Every house
wife who saves foodstuffs and elimi-
mates all waste in her own household
is doing a patriotic duty, and there
fore it is nothing less than ill-bred to
tolerate waste at this time-Or any
other time. for that matter. In rural
communities women can preserve and
can and dry more food for use next
winter than ever before, and something
in excess Of the needs of their own
families. They may he called upon to
help those less fortunate than them
selves in the future, those who are
pOwerless to make provision in this
way. In some communities house
wives have already banded together to
can and preserve fruits and vegetables
to be put on sale when there is mar
ket for them. This is in excess of the
food each provides for the future use
Of her family.
Clothing is also to be conserved, es-
pecially that made Of wool. This
doesn't mean that it is to be boarded,
but that use is to be found for it
when the times comes, and that SUBJ
stantial garments are not be thrown
away simply because fashions change.
Now is the time to be frugal-in order

NECESSARY FOOD FOR PLANT
Aumus Has Power Of Holding Neratas

Humus Is the substance formed in
the soil by decaying vegetable matter,
such as leaves, stubble, roots, manure,
crop plowed under and so on. Humus
not only comprises elements of plant
food itself, but it has the power of
holding the necessary nitrates Of fer

through washing or other means. It
also has the effect Of sponge in abb

The Successful Combination.

Because figured fabrics are to be so
much in fashion. 1t is wise that every
woman should remember that the plain
material is the essential foundation on
which figures should rest. A garment
of any kind which is nothing but a
splash of twists and lines and curves
Is a very poor garment indeed. Every
woman should take it to heart that
figured fabrics are meant for COM
binatiOn with plain fabrics, and that
in the skillfuI combination lies the sue
cess of her costume

LOOK, OUT FOR PoWDERY seal

Potato growers in the United States
received an added shock during the
summer Of 1913 when there was found
in Maine the well-known European po-
tato disease commonly known as "pow-
derry scab.' Up to this date no one
had found it in the United States. Ow-
ing to the serious destructive nature of
the disease the federal horticultural
board issued quarantine restrictions pro-
hibitng the importation of potatoes
from all foreign countries except under
permit and in accordance with certain
other provisions. AS result, the dis
ease has spread very little if at'all, in
this country. However, potato grow
ers cannot afford to take chances of
introducing the powdery scab into their
fields and should therefore vigilantly
watch for its appearance. Powdery
scab resembles the common scab to
some extent. The scab spots of the
former are smaller, often warty and
contain brownish powder, an appear
ance which gives rise to the name pow
derry scab.' Often these spots are sur.
rounded by brownish zone as if due
to decay. The. spots occur singly Or
may run together, forming greatly
rougllened surface. Potatoes thought
to be affected with this disease should
be sent to the department of botany
for examination and information on
treatment.-H. E. Vasey, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College, FIT. Collins, Colo.
