TRENCH DIGGING AFTER A
MOUNTAIN SNOW STORM

, In a recent article on the economic
situation of Italy points out that while
Germany before the war dominated
the foreign trade of Italy 20 fur as
manufactures were concerned, that
country was one Of the best customers
OF the United States in raw materials
and fO0dstuffs. That writer also points
out TINT II was the adjustment OF her
Industrial and commercial life to the
burfiensorne ne@ conditions that has
created an entirely new economic fab
rio In Italy.
"Italy's devotion OF her resources TO
war purposes has been complete" says
Mr.. Sisson. "Her pre-eminence In the
production OF certain articles OF COM

would permit quantity production"
Financially Italy Responded Well. 7
Financially italy also has respond
ed to the demands OF war with an
open-handedness that has surprised
even herself. From August 1. 1914. TO

NEED BIG ARMY
OF STUDENT NURSES
Appeal is Sent Out to Young
Women to Enter Service of
Their Country

The army and the country face a
shortage of nurses. The army alone
will require something like 25,00O
nurses by the first of next January.
Of this number, about $4,000 have al
ready joined the service and the fort
night which began July 10Th has been
made a special mobilization period for
the recruiting of student nurses all
over the country. The work OF secur-
ing this new army of nurses has been
put into the hands of the Woman's
Committee of the Council of National
Defense. The nearest recruiting sta
ton to Kennewick is at Spokane.
Mrs. w. S. Griswoh, state chair
man, sends out the following appeal
to the young women of the state:
eve need twelve thousand more
nurses. We have got to have them or
the army will run short and this would
be an outcome incredible and intoler-
able to the American people. Only
graduate nurses who have been thru
the full course of training: are avail
able fdr this high service These
nurses have to be taken out of the
hospitals and from care of the sick at
home. This means that when we re-
cruit our full quota for the army, their
places in the civil communities must
be filled, hence this call for student
nurses to fill the vacancies.
Prepare for professional service
and meanwhile make it possible for our
hospitals, both civil and military, to
carry on and for the American people
to hold the health standards of the
country as high as they have ever been
held in times of peace.
eff were a young woman and want
ed to do my country the greatest SER
vice in my power should go at once
to the nearest recruiting station of the
Woman's Committee of the Council of
National Defense and Enroll In the
United States student nurse reserve.
This enrolment would at once make
me a candidate for the army nursing
school or for one of the civilian train
ing schools for nurses. ! cannot con-
-ceive of a more valuable service,
more womanly service.
1T can give every girl who enrolls in
the reserve my personal assurance
that she is making herself count and
/ should be ashamed of any woman
who did not long with all her heart
and soul to make herself count in the
defeat of Germany"

MUSH AND MILK

What has become of the old-time
bowl of corn-meal mush and milk 1t
is an American dish, cheap, nourishing
and palatable. The older generation
loved it; and for economical, sentimen-
tai and patriotic reasons. we should
now go back to it and take all Amer
lea with us. Mush and milk furnishes
a balanced ration, yet contains no
wheat, no meat, no sugar. 1t is a
whole meal in itself, and while the war
lasts it should be used more largely in
this country. Its larger use here will
release other and more concentrated
foods for our armies and the armies of
the Allies. We are producing an abund-
ance of food; we will save it for our
boys across the water; and food will

me simple Liners.

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is q simple lifer. There are so
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
in with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the large
majority of us are feeling all the bet
ter for it. We walk where we once
motored, and the exercise sets the
stagnant blood in our veins running
with fresh vigor. We eat less and di-
gest more. So little have we felt the
deprivation that most of us are de-
claring that for the future it is to be
the Simple life forever" There are,
of course, some who struggle in their
absurd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time is mainly spent in eyading
the orders Of the food controller, or In
discovering new sources of extrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of simple lifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat 1t. Our cake today
Is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours If we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.

Navel Orange a Freak.

An orange navel is merely an abb
normal growth, an abortive attempt OF
nature to produce twins. One of the
twins failed, however, surviving only
as protuberance in the blossom end
Of the orange, and there forming a
little navel-like kernel enyeloped in
the skin of the fruit. Buds from the
trees producing these freaks were
grated on the other stock, and grad
ually the semi-dwarf navel-orange tree
was established in California. The
original trees of this stock came from
Bahia, Brazil, where their popularity
had been noted but not utilized. No
one had taken the hint supplied by
nature until they were transplanted to
their new home on the Pacific coast,
where they became one of the most
prolific growths of the state. The ma
vel orange is frequently seedless, and
what few seeds are found in it are
small and undeveloped.

HONEY IN PLACE OF SUGAR

The simplest way of using honey is
to serve it like jam or sirup with
bread, breakfast cereals, boiled rice,
pancakes and other midi favored food.
AS ordinarily used on bread, an ounce
of honey spreads" as many slices as
an ounce of jam. When it is to be used
in the place of strip some people di-
lutte it by mixing it with hot water,
which has the effect of making it not
only less sweet, but also easier to pour.
Honey or a mixture of honey and
sugar strip can be satisfactorily used
for swectening lemonade and other
fruit drinks. Sirup Of any kind is more
convenient for this purpose than UNI
dissolved sugar, and when charged
water is to be added it has a further
advantage, since it has less tendency
to expel the gas. 1t is the custom of
many housewives to keep a strip for
this purpose, particularly in hot wea-
ther and variety can be secured by oc-
casionally using honey.
The fact that honey consists prin-
cipally of sugar and water and is
slightly acid suggests that it is suit
able substitute for molasses in cook
cry. As a matter Of fact, it can be
used in the place of molasses in all
forms of bread, mullins and cakes, and
makes more delicately favored pro-
duct. It contains less acid than mo-
lasses, however, and so requires less
soda when it is substituted for mo-
lasses in recipes which do not include
sour milk or other acid.
