Owen Wagner, who Joined Uncle
Sans navy boys at the Great Lakes
naval training station, a few weeks
ago, writes his parents here that with
a bunch of 500 he was transferred =
Hampton Roads, Va, the past week.
He says twas very fine trip, taking
about two days. The train was COM
posed of 10 sleepers and two cook cars.
On leaving the Great Lakes there was
a large crowd out headed by several
bands, and the Red Cross to see them
off. And at every station where the
train stopped there were bands anc
large crowds out with eats for
boys. On arriving at Hampton Roads
they found the weather warm, about
100 degrees in the shade, and the sea-
son about as far advanced as it
usually is here the last of June. Says
there are about 100000 soldiers in a
training camp there and $4,000
marines in the barracks he is in. The
first evening he was there several
large battleships steamed into the
harbor and with the air filled with
dozen airplanes most of the time it is
great sight, and gives one some idea
of the huge preparations that the u.
S. is making for the great war. Since
arriving there Owen has been trans
ferred from apprentice seaman to
gunners mate and soon expects to be
in training on board some battle ship.
He has gained Is pounds and is feel
ing fine, likes it very much and says
that the boys have the best OF care.

leaves school or college, "What can
do that will satisfy the desire have
to contribute something worth while
to the work of the world ?"
We, of the nursing profession have
no hesitation in saying to these
women, eve can offer you a profes-
sion that is rapidly increasing in
breadth and variety of opportunity, in
possibilities of service, and in vital
human interest. 1t offers larger re-
turns to the educated woman than any
other profession open to women"
In this grave crisis, when every man
and women must do the thing most
needed, we say to the College ano
High School graduates, "Come into
the schools for nursing now, where
you can serve your country by helping
to care for the sick in the hospitals
at home thus releasing larger nun
bers of trained women to care for
our men at the front and at the end
of your training you will be needed
in larger numbers to do the work of
reconstruction after the war is over
If the war were to end tomorrow,
the demand for nurses would increase
for the next ten years. All reconstruc-
ton work in devastated Europe must
be done by America. The countries
themselves are worn out with the
struggle. There will be tens Of thous-
ands of poverty-stricken families,
crippled men and orphans who will
require medical and nursing care and
the nurses who enroll for training
now are the ones who will have hand
in this great work.
The accredited schools of nursing in
Minnesota are filling rapidly. In six
months there will be no vacancies and
for that reason, we are urging all
who are interested or looking for in
formation to get into communication
with some officer of the State Nurses
association or of some school of nurs-
ing as soon as possible.
Mrs. A. F. Moynihan, who is Red
Cross Nurse of Sank Centre, has been
appointed Nurse Recruiting Of
fcer for Stearns, Morrison and Todd
counties, by the Bureau of Nursing of
the Northern Division, American Red
Cross. She has list of the vacancies
in Minnesota hospitals and will be
glad to give advise or assistance to
those desiring it.

CUT AND STORE WOOD

The war is making enorm-
Gus additional demands for
coal and fuel oil. The United
States Fuel Administrator will
do it's utmost to meet this de-
mand; but to insure a full
supply of fuel for next Win
ter, the cutting and storage
of wood is advised.
There is an abundance of
unmined coal; the problem is
getting it out of the ground,
transported and distributed.
Labor is short and will get
shorter as the war progress
es. This makes mining and
railroading difficult. As the
number Of troops we have
across the water increases,
the more will Il be necessary
to use the railroads for their
maintenance and equipment,
Munitions and supplies must
be moved to the seaboard in
every increasing volume.
There must be no let-up-
nothing can be allowed to in
terfere with this movement.
The successful prosecution of
the war is the present big
business.
1t is necessary to get fuel
to the big cities and indus
trial plants in its most com
pact form. They are the coal
; burners of America. The
wood-burners are the farmers
and the residents Of the small
towns and villages where
wood is nearby and can be
{ delivered by the wagon load.
5 This appeal is directed to
I you. Restore the old wood
: pile. Make it a part of the
5 landscape as it was when you
2 were a boy. Whet your ak
! file your saw-cut wood

Subtract one pound of sugar from

have your new daily sugar ration
| 1-15 ounces or 62-5 level te0SNocns.
Don't throw away the fractions.
please reduce to whole numbers at the
end of the month and You will have
twelve teaspoons of sugar.
Do little figuring on this new SUI
gar ration of two pounds for ninety
meals and. when you put your head to
it, You will find the answer TO the
problem. There is a cafeteria in the
L. s. Food Administration that man
aged to make 20 pounds of sugar dc
for Go0O meals This ration covers
the use of sugar for all purposes, in.
Guiding tea. coffee, desserts and in
cooking. Most of the deserts contain
such substitutes as honey. maple or
other Syrups: the use of white sugar
is confined almost exclusively to tea
and coffee.
The cHfptpria has used sugar at the
rate Of one pound for 100 meals and
the Food Administration has asked
the houSpkpeppr to cut to two pounds
per person or one pound for forty
five meals. It can be done.

Csbhare and Patriotism.

To eat cabbage is not plebeian, it
is patriotic. Cabbage is grown in
back yards in all parts of the United
States, and if it is made an important
part of the vegetable diet it replaces
shipped-in foods which require trans
pOrtation space.
The United States Food Administra-
ton advises the use of home grown
vegetables not only as a matter of
saving shipping space, but as a saving
of food which cannot be sent abroad.
The following recipes may add to the
list of usua! ways of preparing cab
bage:
Slice cabbage and soak in cold
water. Put one quart of cabbage in
a stewpan with two tahleSpOOnsful OF
butter or butter substitute, One-halt
teaspOOnful of salt, one Tablespoonful
of finely chopped onion, few gratings
of nutmeg, and a few grains of cayen,
ne. Cover and cook until cabbage is
tender. Add two tablespoonsful OF
vinegar and cook five minutes
Select a small, heavy cabbage, take
off outside leaves, and cut in quarters
Slice very thinly with sharp knife
Soak in cold water until crisp. drain
dry between towels, and mix will
cream salad dressing.
