HOME GARDENERS MUST STEP
LIVELY

Now is the time for every gardener
to come to the aid Of his country.
These are the days, too, that try
out the metal and the manliness of
every citizen who has set himself the
task of raising something good to eat
and Of helping to raise Cain with old
High Cost of Living.
1t was easy enough to plant stuff
in the cool days. 1t was easy enough
to plan the garden. 1t was easy
enough to answer the call of spring
and get out into the open and scratch
up the gravel and tear up the ground
generally and jab the seeds down in
to the ground. 1t was easy enough
to do all tnat week or two ago
when the days were cool and when
the atmosphere was as sweet as hon
ey. But things are different now
The air is heavier and the ground is
harder; the weeds are stronger and
the spirit of the gardener is weaker;
novelty wanes and the labor wakes
greater In fact, everything conspires
to try the patience and to tax the per-
severance of the tiller of the soil.
But he who perseveres will reap
his reward-and the gutter will pay
the penalty.
Dame Nature is just beginning to
do her uttermost to make things
grow. She will do her best for you,
but she demands that you keep pace
with her-and if you do you will have
to step lively.

We trust Colonel Bryan, who seems
to have been doing nothing much
lately, is hopefully convalescing af-
ter his serious attacks of pacifism.
Almost everybody else is.
1t is the assertion of a contempor-
ary that many of the fashion pic

that's a part of what they are for,
the women pictured in the fashions
want the fashions, not the ballot.

THE HUNGRY CARRIAGE CAN


The United States Department of
Agriculture makes suggestion that
is worthy of the attention of every
municipality. 1t proposes a careful
analysis by a competent chemist of
the garbage output of every city.
Where there is no official chemist,
the department points out, local
chemists capable of determining per-
centages of fats, protein, starch and
organic matter wasted in garbage
cans render great service to the ma
tion by volunteering to make these
analyses in their localities.
Vast amounts of bread meat and
edible fats are wasted in garbage and
tons of valuable feedstuffs for ami
mails are lost to the food supply of
the nation by usual garbage reduc-
ton or disposal methods. One of the
first results from the careful analy-
sis of city garbage should be the
passage of more rigid enforcement of
garbage-collection ordinances, re-
quiring that no glass, tin, wood,
burnt matches, paper, string or in
organic trash be mixed with the vege-
table material, meat scraps, or bones
which can be used for feed
This dual collection of garbage and
trash is being rigidly enforced by
Germany in all cities of 10000 people.
Garbage so collected from a popula-
tion of 100000 people in Germany,
although the German garbage pail
always has been far 1eaner than the
American one, and is especially light
at this period, furnished briquettes
rich in protein which, when fed to
dairy cattle, produced 100000 to 2f
100000 quarts of milk daily.
In most American cities, however,
garbage is sent to reduction plants,
where all the fat and oil it contains
is recovered for use in making soap
Or greases.
The residue after the oil is extract
ed is used as fertilizer or dumped
into the ocean. This practice has
been highly profitable, because the
American garbage pail is very rich
in fat, American garbage averaging
three per cent. of fat, while the Ger
man garbage rarely shows even one
per cent. of fat, as the German peo-
pie never have been wasteful of ami
NAL or other fats.
Another reason for the use of the
reduction method is that in many cit
les ordinances prevent the use Of
garbage for feeding animals, particu-
larly dairy cows, although there is
no valid hygienic objection to the use
of dried and properly sterilized gar
bage as food for cattle, or hogs.
The department specialists believe
that as the thrift idea gains ground
less and less fat will be thrown into
the garbage pail, and are hopeful that
the time is not far distant when the
amount of fat will make reduction
for the recovery of oils hardly worth
while. This will mean that a lot of
excellent and valuable foodstuff now
being wasted as food will never get
into the garbage pail.

THE TREASON OF RUSSIA

Early in the spring there were ru-
mors of an Austrian offensive in the
Trentino. A successul invasion of
Italy at this point would endanger
Milan and perhaps Turin and Venice.
The vigorous Italian offensive in the
Carso averted this peril. But the
military paralysis of Russia has re-
leased the Austrian forces formerly
employed on the eastern front. Thus
General Cadorna has been checked
and it is still on open question
whether he can continue to hold his
own against the increased odds. Per-
haps he can; the Austrians have not
yet accomplished as much as they
hoped to accomplish. But it is clear
that Italian resources would be
strained to the utmost to meet a ST.
multaneous attack in the Tretino.
Here is one of the victories for lib
erty'' tnat iio radical revolutionists
in Russia have won. 1t has kept the
Russian armies out of the fight
against absolutism and left the Allies
in the lurch. 1t has prated about
Democracy while it was doing its ut
most to ruin the cause of national
freedom. If heroic Italy is to be
sacrificed, what compensation will
Russia offer? Why dethrone the
Gar in order to make the Kaiser the
master of the world?
