PLANT FOOD DISEASES

You know something Of how
the United States department of
Agriculture protects Americas
{ 100,000.000 consumers against
, diseased animal products.
Do you know that the depart
ment is just as vigilant in pro-
tecting the same consumers
: against diseased vegetable prod
!. ucts?
That, anyhow, Ia true.
But do not be too conceited
over what the department is do
ing for you.
The department is interested,
! in the consumer as an individ-
ual-in his personal welfare, in
! seeing that he has good, whole
some foods.
! But it is also interested in the
population en- masse-in seeing
: that everybody gets ENOUGH
I food.
Diseased vegetable products, Of
course, are not good Tor the IN
dividual. But there is another
!; element. When vegetables are
allowed to become diseased, in
transit or otherwise, and have
to be thrown away. the total sup
! ply of available food Is reduced
by just that much. and some
body has to do some more
scrimping. -
s Those are the two reasons
why the United States depart
ment of agriculture devotes
good deal of attention to pro-
: tecting vegetable foods against
!. diseases found at markets.

MEASURES TAKEN
TO prevent LOSS
inspectors Detect Diseased vege-
tables and Fruit Arriving at
Destination.
COUNTY AGENT IS NOTIFIED
Selling Value Of Inferior Product Is
Decreased When Arriving on Mar
ket-Steps Taken to Combat
Various Disorders.

To check the loss from plant dis
eases in shipments-which also means
a loss of time, labor, material, and
transportation-the food products in
spectors of the bureau of markets sta
toned in most of the large receiving
centers now keep close watch for
plant diseases on fruits and vegetables
arriving on the markets.
Bad Product Not Wanted.
Diseased fruits and vegetables are
not wanted in the markets any more
than on the farm, and when carlot
shipments arrive showing evidence of
plant diseases their selling value is
decreased even if none of the produce
must be thrown away. Sometimes, in
the case of very perishable crops. like
berries or lettuce, there are serious
losses of food because the shipments
carried plant diseases when loaded.
While no shipper would knowingly
load badly infected fruits or vege-
tables, such produce may reach the
markets In poor condition because the
disease was present when loaded and
developed in transit. This Is espe-
cially true where shipments are made
without providing proper ventilation
or refrigeration.
Steps to Combat Disease.
Whenever shipments of produce suf-
fering from plant diseases arrive the
inspectors. Immediately notify the
shipper, and through the pathologists
of the department of agriculture the
county agent in the locality where
the diseased shipment originated is
instructed to take steps to combat the
disease.
Although the inspection service has
been in operation only few months
as part of the general inspection
work of the department in certifying
to shippers the condition of carlot
shipments as they arrive at markets,
already it has resulted in the detec-
ton of diseases in many shipments,
and has aided growers and plant path
ologists of the department in con-
trolling the outbreaks of diseases and
preventing their spreading to other
sections of the country.

during the next IL months, they will
help a great deal. If their patriotism
is at all manifest, not to say militant,
they will help great deal. For the
nation to mature a wheat crop and
then fail to harvest 1t would be exactly
as bad policy as for the government
to mobilize and train an army and
then poison 1t.

Germany possessed an enormous
number of U-boats and that the losses
were virtually nil.
Not Many Subs.
That was not true. the writer ad-
mits. In 1917, he states, 83 submar
ines were constructed. while Sc were
destroyed. In April. 1917, Germany
had 126 submarines and in October.
146. In February, 1913. she had 136
and in June of the same year, 113, ac-
cording to Captain Persiuss figures.
Only a small percentage of these sub
any time, Captain Persius declared.
In January, 1917. for instance, when
conditions were favorable for submar-
inc work, only IL per cent were active.
while 80 per cent were in harbor. 3S
per cent under repairs and 20 per
cent 'incapacitated."
Submarine crews, he said. were not
sufficiently educated and trained, and
they looked with distrust upon the
weapon. In the last months, he re-
veals. it was very difficult to get men
for submarine work, as experienced
seamen looked upon the submarine
warfare as political stupidity.
Tells OF Mutiny.
Captain Persius tells of the mutiny
that broke out at the beginning of this
month when the German navy was or
dered out for attack. Had the seamen
obeyed. the writer remarks, innumer-
able lives would have been lost, and
he declares that "every thinking man,
therefore, is of the opinion that the
seamen on November rendered an
invaluable service to their country"

TOPEKA MAN
Believes Tanlac Saved Him From
Flu"
Was in Badly Run Down
Condition.

During this Influenza epidemic I
was constantly exposed to the disease
and in great danger of contracting It,.
and the only thing I did was to take
Tanlac to keep my system In good
condition and certainly believe that
Tanlac kept me from having the
'flu'."
This interesting statement in regard
to the efficiency of Tanlac in combat
ing influenza was made the other day
by Frank r. Council, Of 900 North
Kansas avenue, Topeka, who is promi-
nent in business circles of Topeka and
whose standing and influence in the
community are too well known to re-
quire further comment
II think my experience the more re-
markable," continued Mr.. Connell,
when it is recalled that for several
months before the epidemic struck To-
peka I was in a very badly rundown
condition Almost year ago l was
laid up for six weeks with pneumonia
that seemed to sap my strength and
energy completely. I lost eighteen
pounds in weight and when 1 got up
that 1 hardly ate enough to keep me
going. 1 was restless at night, rolling
and tossing in my bed for hours I'M
able to sleep hardly at all. I felt tired
and worn out all the time and it looked
like 1 would never get over the bad
eI1ectS OF my spell OF SICKNESS.
"I knew needed something to
build me up and fortify my system
against any further trouble, and hear
ing so much about the way Tanlac was
helping others decided to try it. Be
fore 1 had finished my first bottle 1
could feel the beneficial effects on my

Fifty Per Cent Is the Guess
From Reports.

New York, Nov. 2o.-Reports from
all sections of the country today in
dictated the nation was going over the
top for the United War Work eund
with a fifty per cent oversubscriptton,
it was announced at the national cam
paign headquarters.
Altho subscriptions officially re-

$157,295,05S, the campaign committee
anticipates a flood of contributions
today-the closing day Of the cam
paign.
Thirty-two states in all have now
passed their original quotas, and OF
this number six have subscribed more
TIN $50 per cent of their allotments.
Delaware is the banner state. Its
quota was $477,400 and it has pledged
s1,090,979. Arizona is close Sec
ond with PIG per cent of its quota
oversubscribed.
Maryland, Connecticut. South Car
DINA and Texas are the other states
which have subscribed not only their
original quotas but also fifty per cent
over what was asked.
Reports from the Pacific coast.

Bolshevik Attempts to Dislodge Al
lies Are Fruitless.

Archangel, Nov. 14.-The Bolshevik
forces along the Dvina, their infantry
attacks having been repulsed, today
were bombarding the Russo-Allied
positions on the left bank of the river
at Tulgas. The allied artillery is re-
plying vigorously.
Since late in September the Boil
sheviki have been trying stubbornly
but fruitIessly to drive the allied forces
up the Dyina to north of its junction
with the sVaga. The small amount of
ice in the river at this time of the year
is helping the enemy gunboats. The
Bolshevikf apparently possess a large
number of river craft on which to
mount naval guns brought from Petro-
grad. AS long as the enemy gunboats
are able to move the Americans and
British are combating great dds.
But the enemy infantry Is no match
for the allies, the Bolshevik losses in
killed, wounded ano1 captured being
at least five times that of the allies.

X. u. Dean Would Give Them
Military Instruction.
State Supervision Better Than
National, He Says.
FOR 100000 APPROPRIATION
Matter Taken Up With Board
of Administration.
Legislature May Be Asked to
Provide Means.

Physical and military training for
5000 young men and women of the
state each year Is the plan advanced
today by ]. T. Kelly, dean of educa-
ton at Kansas University. In letter
to members of the state board of adj
ministration, Dean Kelly urges that
a three months special course be
given at the state university. He
urges an appropriation of 100000 for
the work.
Individual opinions of members of
the state board are to the effect that
the adoption of Dean Kelly's plan
would call for training of a greater
his letter. Some of the opinions place
the number of persons eligible to the
i.ecial training at $4,000 year. To
train these people would cost three
and a half million dollars year. it
is estimated.
Dean Kelly's plan for universal mill
itary training Is a course that would
benefit both men and women. He
would place the work under the edO-
cational organizations of the Various
states rather than under the jurisdic-
ton of the war department. He urges
that the Legislature provide for use
of barracks and that special uniforms
be provided for all persons who enter
training courses.i All persons between
the ages of Is and % years would be
eligible for: the special training.
State Plan Better.
There is going to be strong de-
mand in congress for the establish
ment of a system of universal mill
tary training under the war depart
ment," Dean Kelly says in his letter.
I'VE don't want that. We want the
advantages claimed for military train
ing without the dangers. To accom-
plish this, we need pr .ctically uni
'ersal training, not, however. under
the war department, but under the
regularly established educational
agencies, assisted by the war depart
me1nt."

desL has in mind. the training for
