Prepare This Year For
Next Years Gardening

The government itself is making
preparations for war that will last
at least another year. The home gar
dener who is aiding his country by
producing much Of his own food needs
cannot do less says a bulletin from
the National Emergency Food Garden
Commission. Therefore the bulletin
continues, in gardening this year the
worker should continually be prepar-
ing for next wear. One principal asset
which lie can store for next years
needs is the experience which viii en-
able him to get constantly better gar
den results. More concretely, he can
start now making Il compost bed for
next years uses.
Compost is one of the quickest forms
in which fertilizer can he applied to
the soil. 1t can be used proftably in
next springs seed beds and in the
seed boxes which will he used for start
ing plants indoors near the end of next
winter. II Is also valuable for use in
hills of melons on other vegetables
which need warm soil in the spring
and FOR top dressings Of garden beds
where quick action of fertilizer is de
sired.
Compost consists of fine thoroughly
rotted manure. vegetable matter and
soil mixed together. As soon as YOU
start 10 gather any garden crops You
can begin composing the waste por
tiOns. The Dca vines the furmiD tons
and waste lettuce leaves can all be
thrown into the compost bed. In the
city lawn clippings are especially de
sirable in the compost bed Street
sweepinss-it you are sure they are
free from automobile oil-will help
greatly TO increase the fertility Of the
compost.

EATING AND CHEWING.
Importance Of Long and Thorough Mas
tication Of Food.


tcation Of Food.
"The idea prevails in most minds,
says a prominent physician, that the
purpose Of chewing food thoroughly is
TO break 1t W into small particles with
the main idea in mind that small par
,icles are easily digestible. while large
particles are impossible or difficult TO
digest. That idea is incorrect.
at has been shown in the laboratory
that "A cube OF meat which measures
an inch win digest almost as quickly
as one which measures one-fourth o.
an inch. 4 dog Will swallow piece OF
meat three inches or four inches long
aud almost as thick, without chewing
it at all. Yet dog seldom has indi-
gestlou. except when some food fad
dist or fanatic tries % make the brute
less brutal by turning a naturally ear
niyorous canine into a vegetarian ami
NAL.
THE point is that thorough mas.ica-
ton makes digestion more easy not
because the food is broken UP into finer
particles, but because food held Ia the
mouth a great length OF time and more
carefully mas,icated has usually mi1cS
with it n greater amount OF saliva ana
its ptyalm ferment for tho digestion Of
starchy elements To hold food in the
mouth until It is thoroughly masticated
requires a certain amount OF attention.
which, by the way, is the all important
thing in the digestion of foods. This
attention people do not always give.

TEUTON PEACE BAIT TO
BE SCORNED BY RUSSIA
United States Given Assurance That
There Is No Danger of Sep
arate Peace.

Washington, April 20. - Assurances
have reached Washington that under
no conditions that are now conceiv-
able will the provisional government
of Russia yield to the overtures from
German and Austrian Socialist repre-
sentatives to negotiate a separate
peace.
The information received is that.
far from contemplating any peace on
the basis of existing governments,
advanced Russian Socialists want to
carry their democratizing ideas by
force into the enemy countries, and
to appeal to their brother Socialists
in Austria and Germany to rise in
revolt, overturn the monarchies and
establish true Socia1istic republics in
their places.
This movement is reported to be
gathering strength rapidly in Russia
among the soldiers and workingmen.

GRAIN SEIZURE RUMOR
PUZZLES CANADA TRADE
and Canadian Governments Are to
Purchase Entire Crops.

Winnipeg, April 20-The reported
negotiations between Ottawa and
Washington for the purchase of the
entire 1917 wheat crop of North Amer
lea by the two governments at a fix
ed price have introduced a puzzling
situation in an already badly democrat
lied grain market through Western
Canada.
The executives of the grain grow
;ers association held a secret meeting
ito discuss the situation. The sugges-
!tion of $1.30 as basis for the Brit
'ish government to take over the Can
adam crop submitted by Ottawa to
,the agricultural council recently, was
rejected with scant courtesy by the
grain growers. They wanted then
$1.7O and now more. It is not be-
ieved here the crop will be comman-
deered.

The proclamation defines treason,

and declares the acts described will
be regarded as reasonable whether
committed within the borders of the
United States or elsewhere.
Far-reaching Importance attaches to
the direction of the warnings to ali.

therefore are equally subject to the
laws against treason and like crimes.
Must Notify Authorities.

Washington, April 21.-All railroads

mission to file supplemental tariffs, in
creasing freight rates generally Is per
cent effective June 1.
In this manner the commission dis
posed of the question Of procedure in
dealing with the application Of the
roads in every section for general in
creases. Two courses had been open:
To permit the filing Of such tariffs
and investigate their reasonableness
prior to the date they should go in
to effect, or to permit the filing Of
tariffs effective and suspend them du-
ring the period of investigation.
The commissions order is subject
to recall or change prior to the effec-
tive date of the rates. In this way
the commission brings the issue
squarely before the railroads and the
shippers in definite form. Hearings
will begin at once and an investiga-
ton Of the proposed increases seems
likely before the commission issues

Shippers from virtually all parts Of
the country have signified intentions
OF opposing the granting of so large
an increase as Is per cent.
