Mulehinx Your Garden.

The value Of a mulch in the war gar
den is attested to by every agricultural
experiment. and many advise mulch
in place Of cultivating at certain sea-
sons What Is a mulch?
In past years manure. straw or other
material placed around the roots OF
newly planted trees to protect their
roots was called mulch" Today.
however mulch Is used to mean any
top layer placed about growing plants.
Its purpose is to conserve the moisture.
Therefore. II not too frequently used, 1t
serves much the same purpose as cult
walton of the soil.
Manure. straw. leaves, lawn clippings
or moss are the materials generally emf
ployed. Some farmers even use ex-
celsior, sawdust and shavings. but such
woody matter may be a detriment When
turned into the soil year after year.
If you use manure as mulch II
should be laid from two to four inches
thick. with the thickest part OF the
layer in the centre of the row. You
should be careful not to put manure
against the plant. as possible injury
and probably discoloration may result
Leayes and straw should be used in the
same careful way.

Tests Carefully Made.
The experimental work OF DR.. Nsuhof

OF fractures in subjects exposed to sun
light. Three series Of experiments were
performed at different seasons Of the
year|spring, summer and autumn-at
Columbia University. Subjects Of ap-
were chosen for each set. The fracture

the subjects were separated into two
groups:

food and attention. The only difference
was that the members Of one group were
exposed daily to the sunlight. the others
were screened from the sun. The screen
Ing was arranged to avoid any interior
enoe with air supply. The same large
space was given all. Whenever there
was any doubt AZ to physical condition
the subjects that appeared best nour-
lshed were always selected for controls

which there was the least motion after
operation, such as the ribs and nbulae.

In New York City pulpit recently minister

as shining light Of orthodoxy declared that:

in uniform killed in battle dies in his sins and
is lost I honor him as far as it is possible.
wish that he had repented and accepted Christ.
But he had his chance
The minister was heard to the end of his SER
mon There was no vociferous dissent from his
conclusions as there would have been at a publlc
meeting of different character in a different
place Hearers who disagreed with him prob
ably reflected that after all it only his opln
ion and that the world was full Of ministers
whose lives are as sanity, whose faith is as ard
erlt and whose minds are as clear as his who
would never think of saddening and shocking
people who attached importance to their state
nlents by an utterance so deporably heartless
and harsh. Even during our civil war when
creeds were less liberal than they today
Henry Ward Beecher never would have said OF
thought such thing. Nor would the great
Lincoln, or Phillips Brooks.
1t is happily no longer worth while to argue
matters of speculative belief with into1erant
sectaries inasmuch as they no longer, when
their reasoning is inconclusive, impose their
views by force. The trend of public opinion IS
away from the theology of terrorism, and such
enIlnciations no longer cause the distress they
did The mass of the allied peoples believe
that their valorous sons are fighting Gods war,
& holy war, and that happier life than th7y
lay down awaits the heroes who die IN battle
for the right. The New York City minister who
gave voice to the sentiment which induces these
remarks does not express the belief of any con-
ciderable body of intelligent christians. His
repellant dogmatism is his own.

Notbino New Under the Sun.

Des Moines Capital: a young sol
der at Fortress Monroe calls the at
tention of the editor OF the New York

is not new strategic venture in our

this fact he cites the instance in the
fifth act OF Macbeth where the
Scottish and English commanders are

tie. and one OF the characters says:

NEED OF WOMEN WORKERS.

Bernard NJ. Baruch has sounded the cali TO
American women to prepare for the work ahead
of them. He says that despite the fine spirit in
which many thousands of our women have vol
unteered for war service, the economic strength
of our womanhood is yet untapped. We
shall need millions of women to replace the men
who are to be increasingly absorbed by the war.
England has five million women employed IN
daily work in industries and agricultural labor.
How many women American needs will call is
vet to be ascertained but the number will be
large. a more effective mobilization than now
exists would seem to be logically the first step.
England and France have had only to tell their
women what was needed to have the need sup
Piled American women show the spirit of
readiness plainly The next step is to set be-
fore them work in which they are needed and

Berlin government on their wisdom
