GLASS JARS PLENTIFUL
Enough to Take Care of Seasons
perishable Products.

Washington.-Repoits reaching the
Department of Agriculture indicate
that there will be enough glass jars
new and old together, to care for the
bulk the seasons perishable fruits
and vegetables.
Manufacturers state that &C one
type of jar alone 900 900 gross have
been distributed. The manufacturing
capacity for this type is approyi-
mately 5000 gross per day, or S5.-
100000 jars during the next 100 days.
Manufacturers Of other types of
glass containers are prepared, it is
stated, to turn out many thousand
gross a day.
The new jars, it is estimated, will
enable housewives to put up over q
100000 pecks of beans, corn, peas,
tomatoes, peaches, plums, pears and
apples.
These figures do not take into ac-
count the great quantities of jars in
stores and on housewives shelves.

RYE IN THE SOUTH
Largely Increased Acreage Urged to
Take the Place of Oats.
Crimson Clover. and
Vetch.

A large increase in the acreage OF
rye should take place in the cotton
belt this year. the United States De-
partment of Agriculture advises
There are many good reasons fol
this recommendation. Rye will sue
coed on the sandy lands of the coastal
plains where wheat is not adapted,
1t requires less fertilizer than wheat
1t is more hardy than oats. Because
of the heavy winter-killing of oats
last winter there will not be suffi-
cient seed in many localities for the
usual oat crop. Under this condition
rye should be sown in place Of oats.
Rye should be used to considerable
extent this year to replace the legu-
minous winter cover crops, especially
crimson clover and hairy vetch, the
seed of which is very high in price
at this time. Rye also will furnish
a bread grain in localities where
wheat can not be grown which by
the installation of small mills can be
utilized for food in various commun-
tiles.

WHAT FOOD BILL is.

Washington.-Here are some OF
the outstanding features of the food
control bill, finally passed by the
Senate and which only awaits Presi-
dent Wilson's signature to become q
law:
Government control of foods
feeds, fuels, fertilizer and tools, i'm
plements and equipment used in food
production.
A one-man food administration.
Drastic penalties against boarding
and speculation.
A licensing system giving the
President complete power over deal
ers in necessities.
Enormous requisitioning powers
for the President in obtaining war
supplies.
Presidential authority to close en-
changes and boards of trade if nee
essary to stop speculation in neces-
stiles.
Presidential authority to buy and
sell wheat, flour, meats, beans and
potatoes at reasonable prices.
A guarantee of 50 bushel as the
minimum price Cor No. northern
wheat at the primary interior mar
kets until May /, 1919.
Prohibition against the use of
foods in whisky making and author
ity to the President, if he sees fit, to
impose similar prohibition on beer
and wine-making.

SPECIAL METHODS
To Increase Yields o. Wheat and
Rye.

Specialists of the Department of
Agriculture and the State Agricul-
tural College hope that by better
methods the average yield per acre
will be at least maintained wherever
there is fertilizer shortage and will
be increased in other sections. Much
educational work will be done to
make this desire an actually, and in
this campaign the most successful
growers will have a prominent part.
For instance, it is stated that on the
land that could be sown in fall wheat
this autumn, it is possible materially
to increase the yield per acre by put
ting into practice some principles
that are already well known to most
farmers. These should appeal es-
pecially to those who cannot increase
their usual acreage without doing
injustice to other crops which should
be grown.
These principles may be summed
up as follows:
Q) Pillow early. Give the plowed
land two months to settle before
sowing where possible.
(2) Compact the late-plowed land
with roller ard harrow.
(3) Don't pillow after a cultivated
crop. Prepare such land with disc
and harrow.
(4) Make the seed bed fit place
for the seed.
(5) Sow with drill. sound,
plump, clean seed of adapted variety.
(6) Prevent losses from smut by
treating infected seed with formalde-
hyde.
CD Make the soil fertile with
manure or fertilizers applied judic-
iously where needed.
(8) Reduce winter killing by fol-
lowing the above suggestions.
Tremendous Effort and Cooperation
Necessary.
The accomplishment of this great
increase of wheat and rye acreage
without disrupting correct farming
practice will call for tremendous eff
fort on the part of farmers. How
ever, the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, the State Colleges of Agri-
culture, and other State and local
agencies are planning to aid in ev-
cry way possible.

SAVE WINTER RYE FOR SEED

Farmers in the southeastern States
who have winter rye are urged by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture to thresh it and to save it
for seed. Because Of the general
failure of the winter oat crop in this
section this year and the shortage
and high prices of vetch and crimson
clover. it is probable that there will
be much more than the usual demand
for rye for use as a winter grain,
cover, and green-manure crop. North
ern varieties are not suitable for
sowing in the South and the acreage
of rye in the southeastern States is
small, so that the available supply
of suitable varieties is limited. Good
use can be made Of every available
bushel Of this crop grown there this
wear.

LET COUNTY AGENTS
KNOW YOUR NEEDS

Farmers in the southeastern States
who have rye of good quality should
inform their county agents as to the
variety they are growing and the
quantity and price of the seed they
have. This information may also be
given to the director of the State ex-
pertinent station or to r. A. Oakley,
chairman of the committee on seed
stocks, United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c. In
quiries regarding seed may also be
addressed to the station directors or
to the United States Department of
Agriculture.

SOLDIERS TO see THAT
LETTERS REACH HOME
They Not Only Will Expedite
Personal Messages, But
Will Write Them.

Washington.--A plan to enable
friends and relatives of soldiers in
France to get information as to their
welfare as promptly as possible has
been prepared by the Adjutant Cen
erals office. Collecting this data
will require for an army of a million
men about 1000 officers, enlisted
men, and field clerks, who will be or
ganized and stationed down through
general divisional and regimental
headquarters and with each organi-
cation unit of the forces in France.
The service will also extend into
the field and base hospitals, to ports
of embarkation, and to the camps in
this country where the troops are
modified and trained. Special train
ing is to be given to fit individuals
for this work. --... ...-
"No system we can devise and OPP
crate. unless we used direct cable
from France, will get information to
friends and relatives Of soldiers in
France as quickly as a soldier can
himself dispatch it by ordinary mail"
said Adjt. Gen. Mccain in explaining
the plan. "The plan we are work.
ing out is an extension of the statis-
tical work Of this office. 1t should
be understood that it is statistical
work performed by a statistical or
ganization, and that some time is in
evitably consumed in getting infor-
nation through the channels Of the
organization.
Will Write For Men.
eve shall include in the plan the
destination of individuals in hospitals
to write post cards and letters for
soldiers who cannot do so themselves.
This will enable every soldier to get
word to friends and relatives back
home as quickly as possible without
cabling"
While the Adjutant Generals De-
partment has always maintained
complete lists of all officers and en-
listed men in the service, it has never
been necessary, because of the statis-
teal division in the Adiutant Gener-
ais office charged with the work of
keeping in close touch with all the
men so that information as to the
health. safety and welfare of indi-
viduals might be communicated with
out delay to their relatives. A spe-
cial section, known as the Statistical
Division. has now been created and
assigned to this work made necessa-
ny by the great increase in the size
of the army.
Officers FOR this work will be Sc
1ected, as are other officers for the
national army, from men from the
various officers training camps COM
missioned in the national army and
assigned to the Adjutant Generals
office.

Catarrha, Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in

the Eustachlan Tube. When this tube Is
iniamed you have q rumbling sound or im-
perfect hearing. and when II Is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is

The Red Cross Christmas seal stands
for one of the greatest undertakings
OF our day, and a work that everyone
can help along. Miss Boardman says
In Under the Red Cross Flag"
THE charter of the American Red
Cross places the duty upon it of miti-
eating the sufferings caused by pesti-
lence and the devising Of measures to
prevent the same. No more dangerous
and insidious pestilence exists than
that which Is called the great white
plague-no country OF nation Is free
from its ravageS. 1t requires not on.y
the skill of the specialists to combat
1t, but the earnest cooperation of the
entire nation, rich and poor, old and
young"
During the Past seven years over
S3,3GO,0OO have been raised by the sale
Of the Christmas seal for active work
In combating tuberculosis. Ninety per
cent of the profits on the sale of
seals belongs to the community In
which they are sold. The remaining
ten per cent goes to the Red Cross and

YES! LIFT CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati nan tells how to dry
up a corr or caIIus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
Is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Prevention of tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis.
The seal was launched in this cOun-
try by Mr.. Jacob Riis, who lost n
after another of six brothers with tu-
b%erculosis. One day near Christmas,
1906, Mr.. Riis received a letter from
his old home in Denmark which car
ried besides regular postage many new
strange stamps. He discovered that
these stamps were sold to help the
Danish people battle against tubercu-
losis. He wrote about this stamp in
the Outlook q forceful article which
fell into the hands of Miss Bissell, and
she took the idea up in order to
raise funds for antituberculosis work
needed in Delaware, and this set Of
circumstances-the Danish stamp, Mr..
Riis' letter, the need of money In Della
ware, and Miss Bissell's insight and
initiative, led to the Red Cross Christ
mas seal.
When we come to realize that the
white plague kills an army of a hun
dred and fifty thousand people every
year., we also realize that it is a calam-
ity to rank with war. tuberculosis
is a p%reventable disease, and the Red
Cross has entered the battle against
it. The Christmas seals have had an
immense educational value and are
witnesses to its benevolent strength.

Conservative Styles in Suits.

The frame of mind in which the
world of fashion finds itself just now
does not encourage the unusual or
conspicuous in styles, and new suits
and coats reflect this mood. There is
no lack of variety, however, in suits.
Colors are quiet and rich, lines grace
full and designing leans toward sim
plicity. In other words, styles are
conservative, and for that reason the
new suits presented for fall have
about reached the apex of excellence.
In colors what are called the glove
shades are favored. They include
brown, taupe, mouse, castor, gray and
tan, There is q shade of brown with
a hint of wine in it and a platinum
gray that are especially effective in
satin or other high-luster goods. The
liveliest colors appear in shades of
amethyst and dark wine color. There
Is a considerable range in amethyst
shades and they are most beautiful.
Dark blue, it goes without saying, is
