The response this week to the call of canning sent out by the City Home Economics Committee, has been noth- ing short of splendid in the attitude of the women of Bridgeport. In two days alone through the courtesy Of the D. M. Read Co. and the Rowland Dry Goods Co.,, the women pledged 3O,000 quarts which is generous portion of the 100000 quarts allotted Bridgeport as her patriotic share Some women signed for ten quarts, others, or it might be fairer to say one other gave as her prospect be- fore the season was over, the total of her efforts as 1000 quarts. What ever the sum it represents the wom- ans bit and through the act of sign ing the pledge she has signified her patriotic desire.
 Bridseport must go over the top. If you have not signed one of the orange cards which merely serve to give the Food Administration a pros pectus of how much home product there is to be on hand. As patriotic women of Bridgeport it is duty to get in touch with some member Of the Home Economics Committee and boost us over the top by adding your name to our mailing list and by far more important at this critical time adding your ppebable quota of canned goods whether the number be large or small to the sum already rolled up by many of the women of the city This is easily done by calling Miss Helen I. Wedd, the City Home Demonstration Agent at Noble 936 on Monday, between 10 and 12 and from to o'clock. Should the line be busy call Mrs. c. B. Doremus, the vice chairman at Barnum 3433-2 or Mrs. Frank H. Riley, the secretary | treasurer, Barnum 1885.

 Question-Are my cans spelling if bubbles appear around the top and sides?
 Answer-Not necessarily, and to test for spoilage in your glass topped cans unclamp the wire balls and lift the can by the cover. If it comes off, your material is spoiled. If it remains tight on, it is keeping.
 Question-Should the cans be put in the kettle and the water allowed to come to the boiling point, or should the water be at the boiling point when the cans are put in?
 Answer-The water should be as near the boiling point as possible when the cans are put in and the time for boiling should not be counted until the water dances on the top.

With the idea of putting "pep" in to the drive for the Student Nurse reserve, those in charge will be at the Bridgeport War Bureau, Room SOP, First Bridgeport National Bank building, until g o'clock tonight, to interview candidates for enrolment and to answer questions. Of these there seems to be many, due to CT roneous impressions that are due to little knowledge or lack of it alto gether.
 Aside from the patriotic aspect of the situation there is the opportunity to learn a remunerative calling Un- cle Sam needs a very large reserve
 of trained nurses to draw on for the future. This reserve is essential for complete military preparedness; ade- quate nursing service helps to win the war. It is necessary to prepare for reconstruction in this country and in the devastated countries of Eu- rope. Service at home calls for train- ed nurses in public health work, pri- Vate nursing and nursing instructors.
 After the war is over there will be work for the trained nurses and a future provided for all the nurses available. Miss Margaret Rourke, in direct charge of the drive here, says: '&The supply of nurses has never been
 great enough to meet the demands. There will be a continuing need for
 nurses to take care of the wounded in the reconstruction hospitals, and there will be greatly increased de- mands for public health nursing of all kinds.
 eff the war ends before the three years training period is over every
 nurse can be absolutely sure of fin ishing her training in civil hospitals
 and credit will be given for the train ing already received. If the war con- tinues every trained nurse will be eligible for service abroad, the great est opportunity ever offered a nurse | cases that will help her in all her after life.
 Service begins upon entrance in- to training school. In the hospital
 the student is definitely performing a national service from the outset be- | sides receiving training. Short courses are only makeshifts and the 1 need is for highly trained capable ] nurses. This training cannot be ob- 1 tained in few months any more 1 than medicine or engineerig can be l mastered until a considerable body of scientific knowledge is acquired. eff the probationer finds that she l is not fitted for the work or does not 1 care to do it, she may drop out at
 any time during her probationary per 1 iod. The scale of salaries for nurses is higher than that for teachers, i stenographers and clerks. They ! have an earning capacity of from S1o0 | to $500 a month. Private duty nurs-
 es now receive on an average of from l S100 to $120 month including | board while on duty. Institutional
 nurses receive from $50 to s25O a
 month together with board and laun- | dry and public health nurses from
 s100 to s250 a month without main
 tenance."

BUY UNTIL It HURTS"
AUCHT TO Be CHANGED
LIBERTY BONDS SHOULD BE
BOUGHT UNTIL IT
HELPS-YOU.

"Buy until 1t hurts" Give until 1t
hurts" are two expressions that are
often used, the one referring to the
purchase Of Liberty Bonds and the
other to contributions to the Red Cross
or the Y. M. G. A. or kindred work.
Both are fundamentally false In
meaning. They should be sent to the
scrap heap of rubbish and supplanted
by "Buy until 1t helps" and 'Give un-
til 1t helps"
Do not for one moment vainglori0us-
ly think that this means until 1t helps
the country or the Red Cross or the
Y. M. C. A. organizations. 1t means
buy or give until 1t helps you. and
gives you a clearer understanding Of
your responsibility. .
'Buy until 1t helps" you by broaden
ing your vision of the war and the
struggle to save civilization.
Buy Liberty Bonds not out Of the
surplus which you can spare without
feeling.
Buy not merely because the purchase
Of Liberty Bonds is strengthening the
nations power to fight.
But buy because your soul needs the
quickening influence of wider con-
ception of liberty and humanity and
civilization. And the more freely you
buy the greater will be the ennobling
of your own soul. You will be helping
yourself, and in that way you will at
the same time be helping the nation
and civilization.
1t is no act of charity to buy Lib
erty Bonds. 1t is merely contributing
a moiety out of your ability, great OF
small as it may be, for the purchase oi
the engines to stop the conflagration
which, having swept over much of the
world, is sweeping directly toward
your house, and you must save your
house by your own work, or else
recreantly throw upon your neighbors
the responsibility Of saving you, while
you stand off and shirk your duty.
Buying Liberty Bonds is to save your
wife, your mother, your daughter, from
the last degradation which women car
suffer, as in Belgium and France. and
to save your property and your nation
from destruction.
