Immediately. Go down and read the
names of the boys on the large glass

life of the soldier. They mean every

at the effect they have on his charac-
ter. A man gets letter from home;
it gives him new strength. 1t brings
him close to home. He feels the peo-
pie think and care for him and he
makes a better soldier. On the othor
hand, if he never receives any mail hs
will drift. He feels that no one cares
rap what happens to him, SO what's
the difference? A soldier gets up at
80, is hard at work all day long, and
does not have over an hour o. two

UNITED STATES WAR GARDENS
j. L. Mickey, Emergency County Club
Leader S15 Bennet Avenue. Tele-
phone Glenwood 222

The war gardens in Glenwood Springs
are valued at 81 800 now.
The war gardener should bear in
mind that beets, turnips, rutabagas,
onions, peas, lettuce and radishes may
be sown yet this month. We have some
new ground just cleared which is avail
able for these seeds and you may have
what is left without cost to you Beets
that are spring sown are now in good
condition for table use. The crop
should be used before the beets are
two inches in diameter.
Spray the beets with Bordeaux mix
ture when spots first appear, and re-
peat in eight days.
Do not follow potatoes with beets on
account of leaf disease. Swiss chsrd
is a form of beets known as kale. It
natures in midsummer and is good
until frost. The broad white ribs may
be cooked separately and served like
asparagus. The leaves may be cooked
like green's. The leaves and ribs may
be cooked together. In gathering, cut
few outer stalks from each plant.
Cut to the ground. Never cut across
the entire plant. Swiss chard is unlike
any leaf plant used for greens for it is
tender until cold weather even though
it grows two feet high. The turnio
may be sown very late, even in Aug
ust, for winter use. 1t is not advisa-
Dle to grow the fiat turnip during
hot weather, but later it is a valuable
vegetable. To prevent the root mag
got from destroying the turnips in June
and July treat the ground with lime.
Deep plowirg or spading also will be
effective. Keep the maggots in check
by spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
Use tobacco dust or nicotine sulphate
for the green aphis. The flea-beetle is
eating holes in the leaves Of many
kinds Of garden vegetables. Bordeaux
mixture will not kill the beetle, but
will repell it. Why not grow more
rutabagas? 1 do not see very many in
the war gardens. The few who raise
this plant praise it very highly and
tell you that 1t is better than the tur-
nip, for winter use. The flesh is firm
er and richer. It is not too late to
plant cucunbcrs. Plant beans around
the plants for protection. Dust the
young plants with lime, ashes or earth
dust. The beetles like clean plants.
Cultivate the plants often. Irrigate
item freely. Stir the soil with tho

Cheese Easily Diqested.

Contrary to opinion held by many
people, cheddar or "store" cheese is
not unusually indigestible or constipat-

conducted by the department Of agri-
culture have demonstrated that more
than 95 per cent of the protein in
cheese is digested and that 80 per cent
of its energy is available.

chief source Of protein and energy, eat

War Dept Considers Putting Rail
Employees in Deferred Class.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-Deferred
draft classification for railroad en-
ployes is under consideration between
the war department and the railroad
administration, it became known to-
day.
$4,000 r r. Men of Draft Age.
The war department objects to Civ
ing special consideration to railway
employees as a class, insisting that the
case OF each man should be consid-
cred individually as to whether he is
indispensable. This policy does not
satisfy the railroad administration,
which contends that few railroad men
are actually Indispensable, and unless
some united form action is pre-
scribed, local exemption boards may
be inclined to refuse deferred classi-
fication to thousands of necessary en-
ployes who have no dependents Near
ly 100000 railroad men are within the
draft age. But the actual number
which would be affected by such d
fuling is estimated at less than 2OO.-
