EDUCATION FOR
Disabled MEN
Movement to Change State
School Laws So AS to Pro-
vide for Returned Soldiers
BIZ Special corrsspomdsat

TRENTON, Aug. 31:-- Governor
Edge today announced the receipt or
a reply to his letters to Chairman John
e. Gin of the legislative committee on
revision OF school laws, suggesting thas
the committee consider the advisabllitv
of r~e-arranging the school laws OF New
Jersey In such a way that commercial
classes may be created for the re-
education of disabled soldiers and sail
ors returning from the war so thai
there will be coordination between
the school and health departments Of
the state on the subject of child ny
giene. The latter suggestion by the
executive was prompted by the great
many disQualilcations disclosed by the
draft.
In his answer to the executive Mr..
GIL declares that it amazes him that
the governor finds time to give so
many important state matters sucn
helpful and timely consideration. and
continues by saying that this inter-
est of yours In the people of our state
through physical health and vigor OF
its manhood and womanhood must be
a great encouragement to all commit
tees or commissions with real welfare
work on their hands"
The legislative committee on edu-
cation has, yer since It vas Instituted.
appreciated the fact that important
additions, EXAMINATIONS, and amplifica-
tons must be made in our school law"
Chairman Gill went on 10 say. 1.-Two
of the most timely and important arc
those pertaining to commercial and
physical education. The war has
brought both of these eminently to the
front. 1t will be a revelation to mann
that there is now practically no ref
erence to commercial education in the
present school law, the term not even
appearing in the contents. While the
state has had on its statutes what Is
recognized as q sound physical train
ing law, applicable to conditions
known before the war, 1t is strikingly
inadequate In view of the Develop
ments from the examinations made by
the medical boards, as shown in your
letter." declares Mr.. Gill. I'VE must
grant that both OF these subjects are
modern and progressive, and their adj
~vocates have been compelled to over
come many prejudices. but it Is en-
~couraging to note that public sent
ment is now very much alive to tho
Importance of commercial physical
education, and the broad vision ami
earnest support of yourself is a great
stimulus to the efforts of u commit
tee"
Mr.. Gill concluded hat the govern
cr's own physical stamina and the long
hours OF hard work that he cndures
constitute a most pertinent argument
in favor of strong minds In Strong
bodies"

KIDNEY SUFFERERS HAVE
FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-koot.
Swamp Root il scientifically compound
ed from vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
According to verified testimony it is
natures great helper in relieving and over
coming kidney, liver and bladder trou-
bles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should have
the best.
If you are already convinced that
Swamp Root is what you need, you will
find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Bnghamton, N. Y, for

"The obligation of every man, woman
and child out of uniform to help feed
himself will be greater in 1918 than in
1917. Therefore the home gardening
and canning activities of last year must
be repeated"
This is the message of the United
States Department of Agriculture to
every family. Those who cannot pro-
duce, can conserve and save food.
There must be no backsiding among
experienced gardeners they must re-
peat their contribution of food. Abb
sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
In 1917 from capitalizing their increas-
ed knowledge and skill. Those with
experience must make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe, rake and watering can.
There must be no Stacking off. Gar
dening is everybody's business, but in
1918 everyone must attend to that bust
ness.
And now a word of caution. Don't
try to raise more than you can use.
And water Systematically all spring
and summer. A few square yards
well titled will yieldsno than a half
acre allowed to run To weeds.
The department advises strongly
against effort by amateur gardeners to
produce truck crops for sale. Such en-
terprises commonly prove unwise, bur-
densome to all concerned, and not in
frequently financially Improbable.
Much precious seed and fertilizer
TO say nothing of time and labor-were
wasted last year in such undertakings.
The governments home gardening spe-
cialists believe that best results will be
attained If each family attempts to
raise only enough vegetables to supply
its own table and to afford the surplus

Potato Breads-Try Them.

That we can use potato with flour
Is not surprising, for the food sub
stance potato supplies most abundant
ly is starch, and it Is largely because
Of the starch they contain that the
world uses cereal grains as bread.
stuffs. 1t will very often be found,
with little experimenting, that one
third to one-half of the flour in some
favorite recipe can be replaced with
mashed potato.
If potato is used for bread making
allowance must be made for the large
amount Of water in it and less addi-
tional liquid used for this reason.

POTATOES INSTEAD
WHEAT.

Use of potatoes to save wheat
Is demanded by the present sltu-
alton because greater quantities
Of wheat must be conserved for
the use of the American forces
and the allied armies I'm Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply Of potatoes remains
in the hands of the growers.
Great quantities Of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in a great
err variety of ways than is GUS
tomary in American families.
With the basic price of wheat
fixed as at present, flour Is $13.70
a barrel, or Z cents a pound. If,
then, potatoes can be obtained
at $1.20 q bushel, which is .
cents pound, it Is an economy
as well as a war service to use
potatoes as substitute for. flour
in bread making. Even at 3
cents a pound the potatoes cost
no more than flour.
Ways to use potatoes in place
Of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making. are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the

agriculture. Some of these
