WOMEN OF AMERICA TO SERVE
AT HOME

For the first time in history a ma
ton is going to war with a full
equipment of professional nurses.
Heretofore the horrors of the battle
field have been due to the lack OF
competent care of the wounded.
Every European nation now engaged
in the conflict has had to deperd
mainly upon amateurs.
The American Red Cross has al
ready organized and is ready to del
iver adequate medical provision for
an army of million soldiers. It is
the first triumph of Preparedness in
the United States. But to keep this
force going throughout the war, it
needs. constant help. There is work
enough ahead to employ the services
of practically every woman in the
country.
Don't think however, this means
that, after having taken a three
weeks course from Red Cross in
structors, any woman can don a pic
turesque costume and fly to France
to care for our wounded soldiers.
No, she will have to stay right at
home and perhaps never see a hero.
Her share of the fighting will have
to be done with the needle and scis-
sors.
This is not an amateur war; we
mean business; and our business is
to win. We have German efficiency
to combat, and if we are to win we
must be professional, scientific. Wo-
men must be trained to nurse as
thoroughly as men are trained to
fight. Now, you wouldn't volunteer
to be plumber, or an engineer, or
doctor, would you, without learn
ing the business?Well, it takes at
least two, oftener three, years to
make a good nurse-two years hard
study and hard work, night and day
Two years of patience, self cor
troll, and endurance, attention, obe-
dience, and determination. It is only
women who have this experience and
this knowledge who will 60 to
France. There are always ten thous-
and of them enrolled, and more are
joining every day.

EAT A BANANA AND SAVE
BREAD

The best way to save flour is to
stop the eating of bread. But such
advice is worthless unless we know
what to est instead Of bread. During
these summer months our gardens
and the cheap vegetables that flood
the markets furnish the answer. But
all the year around the banana, a
tropical fruit, which is easily and
cheaply grown, can be depended up
on very largely to furnish starch and
sugar and a good supply of mineral
salts at a price which under ordinary
conditions is no greater than wheat
flour.

While the rain and the morass

feetiye in keeping the Germans from

British and French troops nor in

however, have gone for naught, the
British artillery and infantry fire

and adding materially to the already
heavy casualties the Germans have
suffered.

a sweeping investigation of the gov

looking to his impeachment.
The substitute adopted, for the
most part, the language of the Fly
resolution, but provided for the elec-
tion of speaker pro TEN to serve
during the investigation, inasmuch
as Speaker F. o. Fuller is the COM
planning witness in the proceeding.
1t was agreed that it would not look
well for the speaker to appoint the
chairman of the body when it should
resolve itself into a committee of the
whole.
Spokesman for the original reso-
luton objected that the House could
not, by resolution or amendment of
the rules, lawfully interfere with a
constitutional prerogatiye of the
speaker; that the attempt to do so
would probably invalidate the whole
proceeding. They quoted Mr.. Fuller
however, as having said that he
would appoint the chairman for
whom the membership should vote
preference.
