the child is examined for them. The
higher percentage OF malnutrition
and anemia in the country might
cause some surprise, as might the
higher percentage OF spinal curva-
ture and lung troubles, but here
again are things likely 10 be passed
unnoticed except in very severe
cases. n is n fact, too, that many
country children are given actually
more food than they need, without
ever getting a properly balanced
or porperly nourishing diet.
Many little country schoolhouses
have been built in fiat disregard OF
the welfare Of the children's eyes
and without proper provision for
either ventilation or heating. In
many Of them the seats are such as
to induce wrong habits OF position.
The city child has a great advantage
here, for even though he may como
from a very ill-kept and unsanitary
home, he goes 10 school in build
ing fairly well adapted 10 his physi-
cal needs. Then with even a yearly
mcdical examination, any OF the more
common diseases Of childhood is
likely to be noticed and checked. Tho
country child. without such exami-
nation, is likely 10 have the trouble
grow worse.
More attention 10 health matters
is needed in country schools. A
medical examination for all the chill
dren every year would not cost
great deal and might mean the saw
ing of numerous lives and the max :
ing of bright and healthy children
out Of many stupid and unhealthy
ones. A little more attention TO san
itation. 10 ventilation, 10 the heating
and lighting Of the schoolhouses
would also work wonders in many
cases.
The mothers OF country children
should make II a point 10 look into
these matters and 10 see that their
own schoolhouses are M places for
their children TO live in. Most coun-
try mothers. too. should insist that
the country fathers take the children
TO the dentist little oftener and
have the family physician come and
look them over occasionally.

FRAUD WARNING

This statement was made on No
vember 10, 1917, by Herbert Hoover,
United State Food Administrator:
I'VE have reports from various
parts of the country Of crooks,
thieves, and confidence operators,
who are going from house to house
purporting TO be authorized by the
Food Administration and other de-
partments of the Government TO col
lect or commander foodstuffs for
the Government or the Army.
81 wish TO say emphatically that
no department Of the Government
has or will ever make such demands
on hOuseholders, and that all such
persons are petty frauds and should
be held for the police. The Govern
ment agencies are investigating var
ious cases and information Is
sought of all such persons by this
department"

GOVERNMENT TO CONTROL AR

Will Cooperate With Potato Grow
ers' Associations. - OF I'm
portance to Tobacco Raisers

With the idea of further conserv-
ing the nations food supply by pro-
tecting it from insect ravages, Pres
ident Wilson, in a proclamation dat
ed November 10, 1917, has placed the
arsenic industry of the United States
under direction Of the Food Admin
istration. The Presidents action
comes in answer to a threatened
shortage in the supply Of arsenical
insecticides, which are the farmers
chief protection for his crops against
the onslaught Of biting insects"
Since arsenic is the active poison
in Paris green. the potato farmer Is
quite dependent upon an adequate
supply of arsenic compounds for
combating the destructive potato
bug. II is therefore planned to bring

Swine Growers Urged to Retain All
Breeding Stock

The war has already become n
stern reality 20 America. II is no
longer a foreign conflict We are
now being given one more chance to
keep the battle line in Europe in
stead Of on American soil. To keep
the fighting on the other side of the
Atlantic, il is necessary that every
one shall do all in his power.
AT present our army and our allies
are faced with an alarming shortage
of pork and fats, which threatens to
hinder them very seriously. We
have increased our exports three
fold without making any increase in
our breeding stock. This has great
w depleted our reserve supply.
Our Government is now making
an earnest request of every farmer
90 save every available sow and gilt
and breed them as quickly as pos
sible. to raise spring litters. They
should be bred even il as late as
February ist, as that will produce
pigs before June tst.
Good prices have been guaranteed
by our Government, even if the pigs
are not ready for market until late
in the fall.
Considering the grave situation II
is almost the act Of traitor to sell
10 the butcher, sows or gifts that
could be saved for breeding. IL IL
squarely up 10 every farmer to do
his patriotic duty in this matter.

HOW TO PREPARE
THE GARDEN SOIL
Fsrtiiizsrs and Lime Should Be Applied
When Ground 10 Ready.

Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
A simple test to determine when
garden soil is ready for plowing or
working is to take a handful Of earth
from the surface and close the fingers
tightly on 1t. II the earth compacted
In this way is dry enough for cultiva-
ton It will fall apart when the hand
II opened. This test is applicable only
TO comparatively heavy soils, but It Is
these which receive the most injury II
they are worked when wet. On such
soils overzealous gardeners not only
waste their time, but frequently do
actual damage by attempting to work
them too early.
After plowing or working with
spade It Is usually desirable to apply
some form Of fertilizer. Barnyard or
stable manure, which furnishes both
plant food and humus, Is undoubtedly
the best, and applications OF from
twenty to thirty tons to the acre are
satisfactory. The manure should be
distributed evenly over the surface and
later worked In with hoe and rake.
Frequently II is advisable also to ap-
ply commercial fertilizer. especially
phosphate. An application OF 800 to
600 pounds OF acid phosphate to the
acre Is usually sufficient. In order TO
supply potash, II this Is needed. un.
bleached wood ashes may be distrib-
uted over the garden at the rate OF
1000 pounds to the acre. Wet or leach
ed ashes have less fertilizer value.
Two thousand pounds Of these should
be used. In order to start the plants
early In the spring applications Of 100
pounds 10 the acre OF nitrate Of soda
are sometimes used. II is important.
however, TO remember that no form of
commercial fertilizer will yield good
results unless the soil Is well supplied
with humus. This frequently may be
furnished In the form OF sod or other
vegetation which has overgrown
garden spot and may be turned under
with plow or spade.
In certain localities II is also ad-
visable TO test the soil for acidity.
Naturally moist soils are likely 10 be
sour and In such a condition are not
likely TO produce the most satisfactory
crops. The test for acidity or sour
ness is a very simple one. A handful
OF the soil slightly moistened and a
piece OF blue litmus paper. which can
be obtained from any drug store. are
all that Is necessary. When placed on
sour soil the paper Hill turn red. To

about cooperation between the
state potato growers associations
and the makers Of insecticides and
thus provide for local maintenance
Of insecticide stocks by these and
similar state organizations. Fur
thermore, in the opinion Of experts,
it is especially important that a
sufficient supply Of white arsenic
be available to meet the needs next
year in the work of grasshopper
control. Owing TO the general
drought of the past season, which
has been very favorable for grass
hoppers, those in touch with the
situation believe that unless con-
ditions develop next spring which
will be unfavorable for the Matching
Of grasshoppers. an outbreak Of
these pests is probable. A wide
spread grasshopper plague would
work heavy losses Of cereal, forage,
and other crops. White arsenic is
also necessary in large quantities
for the control Of cut-worms. army
worms and the like, which do con-
siderable crop damage every year.
The Food Administration points
out that the cessation Of imports OF
arsenic has made il necessary to
conserve the stock in this country
for essential purposes, including
several other government enter
prises in addition to its use for in
secticides. IL is also thought that the
arsenic industry, which has hither-
to been subject TO widely fluctuat-
ing demands and price, will be sta
bilized when under the control OF
the Food Administrator.

THE NEGLECTED HEALTH OF Qua
SCHOOL CHILDREN

DO you know that children Of
schol age in the country are less
healthy, as a rule, than children OF
school age in the city9
10 sounds rather unreasonable,
doesn't it9 Many women will be
ready TO say at once, why. I know
that's not So"
But il is so. II should not be 81,
but il is. And IL is going 10 continue
to be so until some sort Of medical
inspection and some sort Of medical
oversight are provided for country
school children. Some country
schools now have such inspection
Most have not. In practically every
large city there is inspection and
oversight.
The result is that of all the chill
dren examined in city and country
schools the percentage Of city and
country children with various de-
fccts was as follows:
Bad Teeth 49, Country children, ia
per cent; city children. 80 per cent
Diseased Tonsils - Country chill
dren, 2S per cent; city children. ID
per cent.
Adenoids - Country children. g
per cent; city children, i2 per cent
Eye Defects - Country children
% per cent; city children. i3 per
cent.
Malnutrition - Country children
i6 per cent; city children, 8 per cent
Ear Defects 49, Country children
81 per cent; city children. i.3 per
cent.
Breathing Defects - Country chill
dren, so per cent; city children, 81
per cent.
Spinal Curvature - Country Chill
dren, 35 per cent; city children. less
than per cent.
Lung Diseases Country Children
10 per cent; city children. one-thirt
OF per cent.
A study Of these figures will con-
vince most readers that the first
broad statement made is not at al
improbable. That country children
have Tess attention paid TO Their
teeth than children in the city every
one knows. Defects Of sight ant
hearing. diseased tonsils, adenoids

things. too. are things for which d

Salmon and Acids.

Investigators say that salmon find
their way into rivers by means Of the
presence of acids or alkalis. which. Of
course. varies in different streams.
Even when they are long way out AT
sea, says the Youths Companion, they
can discover the trace that will lead
them to the hay and the stream that
they seek. II thus becomes unneces-
sary to appeal to "homing instinct
to explain the return Of certain salmon
TO certain rivers or the running" of
herring to certain localities.

Te.ItaIe Eyes and Toes.

The eyes tell the story of guilt when
all the other muscles are controlled.
This you will learn In the eleventh
chapter Of Darwin's book. Sometimes,
when the face is controlled. as In the
case of natives of India, other muscles
are uncomfortable. Sir Henry Maine
declares that in India the judge can
tell when native is lying by watch
ing his toes. He keeps his face per-
fectly straight and his eyes express
sionless, but his toes begin to wiggle
as soon as he begins to lie.
