their preference as stated. The De- ferred class is composed of those who limit their pledge of service, that is, who will not engage to go except to certain hospitals. This class Is in- tended largely for those who, for fam fly reasons, can not accept training at a distance from their homes. Those who register in the Deferred class will be assigned only after the Preferred class is exhausted.
 The Government relies on the pa triutisln of those who enroll to fill out Preferred cards if they possibly can, thus volunteering to go where they are most needed.
 Nobody will be asdgned to any schools whose conditions of training are not approved by the State Board of Nurse Examiners.
 Terms of raining-The term of training varies from two to three years.
 Finances - The student nurse gets her board lodging and tuition free at practically every training school, and 1 in most eases receives a small remun- eration to cover the cost of books and uniforms. After graduation she has an earning capacity of from $100 to $500 a month.
 An honorable service.-Ever. since the days of Florence Nightingale the nursing profession has been one of i especial honor. It was never so hon orable as it Is today. The Army needs every nurse 1t can get to keep up with the draft" The United States Student Nurse Reserve is the equiva- lent for women of the great National Army training camps for soldiers. Tho Government will rely upon the stu dent nurses to fight diseases at home, to care for those injured and disabled in our hazardous war industries, and to make themselves ready to serve when the time comes as fully trained nurses, either abroad or at home.

''SiIver flake" Is
 Good Eating Now

This is a particularly good time of the year to try whiting; if you want to keep your food bill down. Whiting are wholesaling at the Boston Fish Pier at figure which should enable the retailer to sell them at ten cents a pound and make a profit. Other fish are high on the whole, and the seeker for low-priced fish must fall back on this variety. There is plen- ty of whiting on the market and ev- cry retailer can procure a supply.
 Whiting is also known as silver hake" and has long been a favorite dish with those acquainted with it's pure, white, tender flesh. It is ex- tremely perishab able, and for this req son, if the housewife does not live near the coast, she should buy frozen whiting, as the frozen fish will be in a better condition than the fresh ar- ticle.
 The fish should be thawed slowly in cold. water. It may be cooked in the same manner as the more expen- sive haddock or cod, for which it will be found a fine, low-priced substitute.
