WHERE SOLDIERS ARE BETTER
Army Officer Explains the Benefits Of
Development of Physiological
Resistance.

In an interview with Surgeon Cen

zine about the chances your boy has
to come back alive, the author says,
referring to another army officer for
the moment:
major Grille said another thing
which every mother and father ought
to learn by heart. He said: The
thing which affects a wounded mans
chances more than almost anything
else is physiological resistance. That
is where the soldier puts it all over
the civilian every time. When a man
goes out from the worries, RESPONSE
bilities, anXieties, and irritatiOns of
civil life to the peaceful pursuit of
war

went on seriously:

in the trenches into husky fellows that
were grit clean through. They laughed
at things which would have finished
them completely before they went into
the army. They had developed the

it was their life as soldiers that gave
Them this new possession.

The soil for cucumbers should be q
rich sandy loan, rather moist but not
wet. The seeds may be planted in
berry baskets or on sods in the hotbed
and these transferred to the open
ground, or the seed may be placed d.
rectly in the ground. Considerable
time will be saved by starting the
plants in the hotbed. In either case
they should not be placed in the open
until the ground has warmed up,
which will be about four weeks after
the last killing frost in the spring.
> They may be planted In hills feet
apart each way or drilled In rows 7
feet apart in the rows. 1t is a good
plan to use an abundance of well-rot-
ted manure in the holes or in the rows.
Cucumbers should receive frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines be-
gin to run freely; after this very little
cultivation is required. They are ready
for use as soon as large enough, and
no fruit should be allowed to ripen on
the vines. 1t is advisable to spray
cucumbers with Bordeaux mixture, as
they are quite liable to be injured by
diseases.
For a full discussion of insects and
diseases affecting cucumbers and rem
edies for them, see Farmers Bulletin
$50, entitled Control of Disease and
Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable
Garden."-U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.

How TO Make a Service FLAG.

Perhaps it is due to the familiar pic
ture of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
lean flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two Of his
friends looking on that gives us such a
bias to the handmade flag, but never
theless. a sentiment attaches to it that
belongs to no machine-made produc-
ton. Very properly, we should feel
about our service flag in this way. An
12x12-inch service flag may be made

ribbon and enough blue to form the

Where facilities permit, instruction
in swimming is given. Men are first
given land instruction and then sent

department constantly exceeds the sup
ply.
A pressing need exists in the army
for men experienced in handling mules,
and before all future needs are met a
recruiting campaign may become neces-
sary. No difficulty has been expert
enced in getting men who can buy and

scarce.
There is a constant demand for
butchers and cooks are greatly need
ed. In several technical branches,
particularly the engineers men for the
higher positions are plentiful, but the
workers for the ranks are scarce. Elk
Perienced mechanics, especially those
familiar with automobiles, are always
in demand.
More interpreters than can be used
have applied for positions with the
war department, and applications for
commissions as army chaplains are
also in excess of the need. The excess
totals thousands in each case. Clerks
for general work are plentiful, but
there is demand for specialists. At
present there is a surplus of dentists
and pharmacists.
