GIRLS QUIT CAMP
TRAINED TO SERVE
Mrs. G. Barnett Addresses
Young Women Of School
TENTS REMOVED BY MARINES
Students Expected to Spread
knowledge in Home Districts.
SOLDIERS OF serviee!"

Soldiers of servicew
This Is the appellation given girl
volunteers today by Mrs. George
Barnett, who, with Mrs. Hugh L
Scott and Miss Z. E. Poe, has conduct.
ed two OF the most successful train
ing camps for girls ever held In the
United States, She was addressing
the hundred young women who have
this year received intensive instruc-
tion at the National Training School
on Conduit road.
The term Soldiers Of Service" ap-
plies to approximately 1000 young
women representing more than forty
States, who. in varying degrees, have
received training at the two spring
encampments Of three weeks each,
which came to q close last night,
when q corps Of marines removed
the tents which had housed the fem
mime army, comprising the 1917 Ma
tional Training School.
Not An ssAIIIifarish.5
81 want to correct the Impression"
Mrs. Barnett continued, shat there IL
anything 'miitarish' about these summer
national training schools. The girls
are not gathered together to be train
Cd to become soldiers, In a military
sense. They are simply soldiers Of
service being taught TO give service
In all ways and at all times and in
every possible manner.
The reason We use the military
plan Is because Il Is the most eff
Client one for handling a large num-
Der Of students- Drills prescribed for
the girls are not military drills, but
simply calesthenies designed to teach
them to walk, stand, and breathe
properly.
Americans are not generally ODE
dent, so we have impressed upon the
girls at the training camp the impera-
tive need Of this virtue. We have
also instilled In the young women the
essential need OF discipline and ef-
ncisncy."
Mrs. Barnett admitted that in the
matter OF ''mess" the girls had been
given exactly the same rations as
the members Of the marine corps in
barracks, the only exception being
that the girls were given butter
three times q day, while the marine
corps does not have It that often.
To Spread Knowledge.
Each young woman, when she re-
turns home Is expected to spread the
knowledge gained at the camp.
While the girls have been trained
primarily as individuals, arrange
ments are being made to form them
into q reserve corps that might be
called out as q unit in emergency.
Plans are on foot to establish
another training camp In Colorado.
The girls have received training
especially In hospital garment max
ing, surgical dressing, signaling, |
wireless operation, first aid, domestic
economy and map making.

HOW TO GROW PLUMP.
Hygiene Tips For Her Who Fears
ScraWniness.

Scrawniness.
IL you would grow plump eat lots OF
eggs, drink milk and put butter on
everything that you can. Don't be
afraid OF a little meat now and then.
Eat cereals with cream and food made
with milk, eggs and butter. Go TO bed
early and get full eight or nine hours
sleep every night. and. above all. don't
worry.
To fatten the face whenever the OPP
portunity offers try blowing out the
cheeks as you sometimes see little chill
dren do, holding them In this position
for the space OF minute or so. Do
this night and morning and several
times during the day.
To make the cheeks plump the fol-
lowing Is another good way: Rub a
good skin food I'm with the following
movement: To treat the right cheek
place the thumb Of the left hand just
beyond the corner Of the mouth OF the
left cheek as a brace. Make rotary
movements upward and outward, be-
ginning at the corner OF the mouth and
making three diverging lines OF manip-
ulation over the cheek. Then with the
right hand treat the left cheek. In
three months your face will show a de-
cided Improvement.

-four milled from standard wheat ex.
hibits very little tendency to decom'
pose when stored In a proper manner
Nevertheless there Is considerable loss
Of -four through spoilage as result OF
improper storage, particularly during
the summer months. Housekeepers on
the farm and In the city should pur.
chase -four In accordance with their
needs only. 1t Is false economy for
the housekeeper to purchase larger
amounts of -four than can be used
within reasonable length of time.
This may be barrel for a large fami-

tutes boarding, which under present
circumstances is an unethical and rep
rehensible practice, OF no profit to the
individual who practices 1t, but In
FURIOUS to the best interests Of the peo-
pie.
Since 1t Is the duty Of every one In
the present situation particularly to
avoid all waste 1t Is incumbent upon
each one so to store the normal stock
Of -four as to eliminate all waste what
soever. The precautions that are re-
quired have been well worked out In
practice and are stated as follows:
There are three cardinal principles of
four storage. Flour should not be
stored I'm the cellar, since the cellar Is
rarely free from dampness, even
though special -four bins have been
built In. 1t is common to find odOrs I'm
a cellar and -four absorbs odors and Is
contaminated by them. The cellar Is
cool, but is usually too damp Flour
should not be stored In the attic OF the
usual type. The temperature Is too
high I'm summer, there Is no circulation
OF air, and the -four is likely to acquire
a musty odor. Flour should not be
stored I'm the pantry or kitchen except
In small quantities, since the tempera-
ture Is certain to be uneven and the
-four is likely to be contaminated by
odors.
II practicable every household should
possess a small room for storage OF
nonodorous commodities. Such room
Is best located on the north side of the
building. Ii should be ventilated and
q cool and even temperature should be
maintained. Where such a room is not
available a closet may fit the require
ments well. The bins or containers
should be kept clean, and when an old
stock Of -four is exhausted the contain
er should be carefully cleaned before
a new stock is placed.
Naturally the -four must be guarded
from vermin. Flour should be exam
ined occasionally to see that decompo-
sition has not begun. Conserved I'm
this manner, the sack Of -four In the
household and the larger stores of the
retailer can be utilized practically to
the exclusion OF any waste through
spoilage.
