HUNTERS URGED TO SAVE DOES
During the Coming Hunting Season
XIII Only Full Grown Bucks.


Washington, D. G.. sopt s-The
open season for deer is now at hand in
many parts Of the country and in
. fifteen states the law allows both
huckG~and does. 10 be killed. IN the
ofhar. states does are protected ut
all seasons The United States depart
ment Of agriculture strongly urges
that these fifteen states should make
1917 close season on does. 1t points
out that about 100000 pounds OF
vension are produced In a year.
Since the does as a rule average
less in weight than bucks of the same
age, killing a doe instead of a buck
usually means considerably less meat
Furthermore the department point out
that the supply of deer will not in
crease If the breeding stock Is killed
off. The rapidity with which deer in-
crease when does are protected is
shown by the experience in Vermont,
Pennsylvania. and other states. and a
doe spared this fall means one more
fwsn as well as one more doe next
spring.
Several recomn1 endations are made
hy the department as follows.
Do not kill Q spike buck or doe
when you c2S%"htain fnll'erown
buck
Do not kill deer when weather con
dltions or difficulties or transportation
prevent saving the meat
Save every pound OF meat.
Save the skin and the head also
If the antlers are in good condition
Do not shoot deer at night, or in

One Of the largest auditoriums in
the city Of New York was crowded
with women. They had come to-
gether at the invitation of the Wom-
ems Committee of One Hundred for
Non.Partisan Government to hear
Mayor John Purroy Mitchell speak.
1t was not roaring, noisy, wild
gathering such as men are wont to
make of their political meetings. The
women sat composed and quiet, dill
gently applying themselves to their
knitting. But when the mayor rose
to address them, a burst of enthusi-
asm greeted him and q perfect sea of
gray and khaki worsted waved be-
fore him. Then the knitting Of sweat
ers and scarfs and helmets was re-
sumed while the lighting mayor"
presented the campaign issues to an
interested audience.

full Study. Says Miss Delano.

Young women Of America, who are
patriotically inclined, are urged to
become trained nurses by Miss Jane
A. Delano, chairman OF the National
Committee opRed Cross Nursing Serv-
ice, at national headquarters in this
city. Three years Of training is re-
quired to equip one for service with
the American Red Cross in the capac-
ity of a nurse.
Begin your patriotic service at the
bottom said Miss Delano to wom-
en- aspiring to serve The country. Pre-
pare yourself In the nurses training
schools of the country for the busi-
ness Of being a Red Cross nurse three
years from now.
Few people realize that a Red
Cross nurse IS the product of careful
study and training, and of experience
in hospitals and social work. We have
today registered as Red Cross nurses
over 1900 women, drawn from the
flower of the profession, the 40,oOC
members of the American Nurses AS
ISOLATION.
What the nursing profession is TO-
day 1t has been made through the
years Of peace that have gone by,
and what 1t will become in the peace
time of tomorrow depends absolutely
on whether We so use the profession
in wartime that its permanent inter-
erts are protected.

for trained nurses of exceptional
health and nervous endurance to

Says American People
Eat Too Much Sugar

The American people eat too much
sugar and take too little exercise
As a result corpulence is becoming
a characteristic in the United States.
War makes many changes and Il Is
well that the threatened sugar fam
inc will cause many to retrench in
their use Of that popular sweet T.

has something OF interest to say on
accessible substitutes.
We can probably reduce our sugar
consumption by even more than Sc
per cent. IL we make use Of the vari-
Gus substitutes for cane and beet
sugar that are available.
They are numerous and most Of
them are more digestible than the
white and highly refined sugars that
We now use. There is. for instance,
maple sugar. which retains the de-
licious layors that the refining pro-
cess removes from cane and beet
sugar.
In the early days OF this country
honey was the universal sweetener
but the production OF II has not
increased because people are unfa-
miliar with IL. At present only So
900 worth Of honey 10 raised an
nually in the United States. CALI
fonia alone could easily provide us
with more than this quantity. Be-
side being sweeter and more digest
ible than sugar, honey has great
nutritive value, a tablespoonful being
the equivalent Of an egg.
Dates, dried bananas and raisins
; are also very rich in sugar and they
are in abundant supply. Those who
eat them regularly as food will find
that their craving for sugar will
disappear. To the dIetetic philoso.
pher the war shortage OF sugar would
seem to be a blessing; at least IN
America.

Washington Ate Corn Cakes.

There was no wheat shortage in
America when George Washington
was a wealthy Virginia planter, be-
fore the Revolution, yet that eminent
patriot set an example in the con-
servation OF -four which citizens OF
today would do well to follow.
Wheat is not essential to a salts
flying meal. the food administrator
points out. Corn Is an excellent sub
stitute. The following excerpt from
1rving's Life OF Washington" is in
teresting now in view OF the agita-
ton for n wheatless diet:
HE was an early riser. often be-
fore daybreak in the winter when
the nights were long. He breakfast
ed at in summer, at in winter. Two
small cups OF tea and three or four
cakes OF Indian meal (caIled hoe
cakes) formed his frugal repast."
1t is said that, even In the days OF
plenty. big spreads were an infrequent
occurrence in Washington's home

HOROSCOPE.
Saturday, November "a, 1917.

This should be fortunate day, ac-
cording to the reading of the stars
The sun. Neptune and Jupiter are all
in benefic aspect, while Uranus and
Mars are adverse.
Early in the day 1t will be lucky to
seek work or aid in any financial en-
terprise, as persons in authority
should be in kindly mood.
1t Is a favorable time for diplomatic
missions, whether they concern fam
lily or state. church or army.
Under this sway Of the stars, the
seers declare that the President will
make an appointment that will sur
prise the nation.
There is a friendly sign for all who
desire to make explanations, and all
who appear before the public to chal-
lenge applause should make the best
of the rule. 1t is especially lucky
for politicians and office-holders.
Theatrical managers have the di-
rection that is good today, making
for brilliant and rnoney-making ideas.
Bankers and brokers should be for
tunate during this configuration,
which is promising for large returns
at large risks.
Neptune gives hope Of gain to deal
ers in fine foodstuffs, oils and un-
guents, which, despite war rations in
food, will meet with an increased
demand.
Mars is in threatening place dur
ing the evening hours, and appears
to presage some overt act during the
darkness.
Deeds of daring that will be sensa-
tional are foretold for Americans
abroad, and again the prophecy that
there will be comparatively little loss
OF life is repeated.
Sudden collapse or change of policy
on the part Of Germany is again prog
nosticated by the seers, who have not
seen that our armies would be in any
great perils during the year, although
December will be a threatening and
depressing month.
Heated debates In legislative halls
and enactments of radical measures
are foretold.
Persons whose birthdate It is have
a happy outlook for the year Those
who are employed will profit. Girls
viii have offers of marriage.
Children born on this day will prob
ably make a success of life. Girls
must be guarded against unfortunate
marriage. These subjects of Sagit-
tarius usually have a liking for SCI
entific pursuits.
