MAKING TOWN FARMERS
TO LESSEN FOOD COST
National Emergency Food Garden
Commission to Create . Million
More Gardens.

When the school and home garden
ing movements started in the United
States a score Of years ago few per-
sons foresaw that some day this minia-
ture farming of urban lots might prove
Of great economic benefit to the entire
population. Up to the present the
movement has been fOstered as So

able, healthful and profitable Occupa-
ton in their leisure, with incidental
aid in identifying cities and towns by
cleaning up the back yards and vacant
lots.
The present food crisis, whih may
become more acute in the event OF 81
serious war. seems to have brought
the day in which the idle lands within
American municipalities are likely to
become an important source of food
supply. so seriously is the matter re-
garded that a number Of well known
educators and philanthropists have Or
ganized in Washington the national
emergency food garden commission,
devoted to the purpose Of putting L.
COCOON men, women and children on
city and town gardens this spring to
raise vegetables for their families.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of
the American Forestry association, is
the originator Of the movement and
the head of it. With him are assOcia-
ted among others DR. Charles w. Eliot
Of Cambridge. Mass; John Grier Hib-
ben. president of Princeton university !;
Carl VroOman, assistant secretary Of
Agriculture; Capt. J. b. White, men,
Der Of the United States shipping
board; Albert w. Shaw editor Of Sys-
TEN magazine: Emerson McMillin of
New York, John Hays Hammond of
New York, Fairfax Harrison of Vir-
ginia, Luther Burbank Of California
and Hon. James Wilson, former sec
rotary Of agriculture.
The plan adopted by the commission
is first to create garden volunteers by
making the jewellers in cities and
towns realize the danger in the food
situation this year and then to give
! these volunteers daily instruction in
gardening from the sprouting Of seeds
in hOtbeds to the harvesting of the ripe
crops.
The ambition of the commission to
create 100000 new gardeners is con-
servative. The bureau of education es-
Inmates that there are 100000 school
children capable of cultivating garden
yards, while within our cities and
towns there is probably an equal num-
Der Of adults who have the leisure for
such work.

it advantageous TO grow small quaint

CHILDREN'S DIET.
How to Give . Younsstsr the Needed
Mineral Salts.

How to Give q Younsstsr the Needed
Mineral Salts.
Vegetables and fruit are now cOnsid-
cred a necessary part Of the diet OF the
child. The reasons are many, but most
Of them may be summed up by saying
that they furnish material needed to
form bone and tissue and to regulate
body processes. The mild acids which
some Of them contain help to prevent
constipation; so, too, does the cellulOse
or fiber, especially when it is raw.
Green vegetables are also valuable
means Of introducing into the diet min
eral matters, particularly iron, in a
form in which the body can utilize
them. Even at city prices green vege-
tables have been shown to be an eco
nomical source of iron.
Fresh vegetables and fruits must be
prepared with care, for there is danger
of transmission of disease by means Of
foods that are served raw. Most peO-
pie will agree that apples, pears, ETC.,
as picked from the tree in an orchard
far enough from the road to escape
dust are clean. If they drop to the
ground upon clean grass they may still
be eaten without much risk although
there would then be more chance for
dirt, with its attendant disease produce
ing bacteria.
All fresh fruits and vegetables which
come from the market should be thor
oughly washed in several waters. Most
fruits may be safely dipped in boiling
water, and many can be kept there for
several seconds without iniuring their
flavor. This kills many, il not all, Of
the bacteria and other organisms that
are likely to cling to the fruit. A con-
venient way to do this is to place the
fruit in wire frying basket. Grapes,
apples. pears. peaches and plums are
not injured by this treatment. and I'M
ripe Strawberries are often improved
by 1t. Large fruits. such as bananas,
apples. oranges and others with I'M
broken skins, may be safely washed
with soap. Dried fruits should be par
ticularly we'll washed. If they are then
put into warm oven to dry they are
likely to absorb the water which
clings to them and thus to be softened
and improved in taste.

. white magnesia ball, then take a
piece of cheesecloth. place the ball in
side and rub one way until the shoe is
covered with the powder. If possible
let them stand overnight; then take a
clean, stiff brush and rub lightly over
the shoes This will give clean and
neat appearance and will not make
them look streaky or stiffen the shoes
as liquid polish often does. If this is
done before the shoes get too dirty
and kept up it will enable you to wear
your shoes two seasons instead of one.

Explosions Kill Without Wounds

Explosions Kill Without Wounds.
How the explosions Of heavy shells
can kill persons without apparent
wounds is explained by Or. J. Lepine
In note presented to the Academic de
Medicine. He says: This effect 10 due
to a perturbation Of the nervous CEN
tiers, arising from the explosion Of the
heavy shells and the consecutive &C.
tons which are produced. Such per-
turbations are caused Wy a sudden dis
tension Of the circulatory system Of the
human body, due to q sudden pressure
exercised upon the whole surface Of
the body. This pressure reaches q
maximum upon the abdominal region,
from which all the visceral blood is
driven toward the interior portion Of
the body"
