events that followed, the Christian
Science Monitor says,
"The message from Madrid told of
how there were signs throughout the
whole country of a sharp awakening
TO the precarious situation regarding
immediate international settlements;
how an extraordinary sudden inter-
est was being taken in the league OF
nations scheme; how methods were
being devised throughout the country
to honor the allies how regular
movement was on foot to confer the
freedom of Spanish cities on Presl-
dent Wilson, and how Cartagena had
earned the gratitude of the whole
country for its 'heaven-sent inspira-

would be comedy par excellence. The

Try steaming green vegetables in
stead Of boiling them.
Soak wilted vegetables In cold water
until they are crisp and fresh.
Soak celery and cabbage for Is or
20 minutes before using, 80 that any
insects or worms will come out.
The French like peas cooked in let
tuce leaves In the top Of double boil
er or laid In lettuce leaves In the top
Of o strainer. Sometimes, too, they
add . parsley leaf or o mint leaf to
give them flavor, but the plain flavor
OF well cooked green peas Is very pleas
ing without any additions.
Cook beets, carrots and psrsnips be-
fore peeling. The skin comes of after
cooking In very economical and easy
way.
Potatoes, too, may be well cooked in
their jackets.
To remove the skins of tomatoes,
dip them in pan Of boiling water,
then chill. The skins can then be easily
removed.
II you boil your vegetables, never
throw away the water In which they
were cooked. It contains valuable ma
terial. Use II a q basis Of soup.
Radishes, red or white, when q lit
tie too old to be eaten raw, may be
cooked like turnips and served.
Beet tops are one Of the most delic-
ious Of greens.

ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken q full training
course are eligible for service with
our forces overseas. These nurses are

ais at home. Their places must b.
filed by student nurses enrolled fol

enrolls in the United States Student

can people will depend the spirit Of
their fighting forces.
Age-The call Is for women between
the ages Of 10 and 35.

sound health are wsnted-the pick Of
The country. A college education Is q
valuable asset, and many hospitals will

given for special scientific equip
man, or for preliminary training in
nursing, such as that given in special
courses now being conducted by var
ious colleges and schools. Some
schools, on the other hand, do not even
require full-high school education.
Enrollment-Women will be given
an opportunity to enroll In the United

eminent directs them, although they
may state what training school they
prefer to be sent TO. Those who reg

signed first, and all possible consid-
GRAFTON will be given TO their prefer

composed Of those who limit their
pledge Of service--that Is, who will
not engage to go except to certain hos
pitfalls. This class IL intended largely
for those who. for family reasons, can
not accept training at q distance from
their homes. Those who register In

Nobody will be assigned to any

Terms Of Training-Thc term Of
training varies from two to three
years, according to the requirements
Of the particular school to which the
student nurse may be sent. No course
takes less than two years nor more
than three.
What the Training Course Prepares
For-At present every woman who
completes satisfactorily her training
in any accredited school is eligible for
service as an Army nurse at the front
and stands chance of being assigned
to duty abroad. At the same time she
will be qualified to earn her living In
one Of the noblest professions open 70
women. II should be remembered
furthermore, that her usefulness will
begin not when she graduates from the
training school but rs soon as she en-
tiers 1t. Practical nursing work Is a
part of the work Of every training
school, and the student nurse is not
only learning to serve but serving her
country from the outset.
Finances-The student nurse geta
her board, lodging and tuition free 1t
practically every training school, and
In most cases receives small remun-
GRAFTON to cover the cost of books and
uniforms. After graduation she has
an earning capacity Of from 500 to
$500 per month. Private duty nurses
now receive an average Of from 500
to $3.50 month, together with board
while on duty; institution nurses from
$50 to $3.50 q month, together with
board, lodging and laundry; and pub
lie health nurses from 500 to $3.50 q
month without maintenance. There II
no danger Of the earning capacity Of
nurses being lowered after the war
ends on account Of the great number
who will then be qualified for he pro,

nurses that can be trained, not only
during the war but after It, especially
for reconstruction work. Even II tho
