A short time ago. when the food ree-
ulations ordered the saving of milk.
many persons misunderstood that
order and took il to mean, the us
ing of milk in smaller quantities,
rather than the careful use of it
so that none would be wasted. As a
/ result, great deal more than the
required amount of milk to send
/ overseas was accumulated and even
| yet people seem to think that there
| is a shortage of milk Miss Beall's
| cheese campaign is to demonstrate
| the many ways in which skinned
milk can be utilized. The cream
must be. used to can and send over
| there and there is so much skim
milk that some use must be made of
it, Miss Beall and all of the home
! economics demonstrators urge the
production of milk and the careful
! usage of it by housewives and her
demonstrations will show many
ways how this may be done.

5000 nurses by June l. OF this
number 500 is the quota for Indiana,
Ohio and Kentucky. Everywhere
where it is possible nurses are being
released from hospital and private
duty in order that they may register
for war service. At first many
nurses and many who were in train
ing could not 90 into war service

down but this difficulty has been
done away with now and everything
possible is being done to make regis
tration possible for all nurses.
