WANTED:-25, 900 WOMEN TO EN-
ROLL IN THE L. S. STUDENT
NURSE RESERVE. VERMONT'S
QUOTA is 1876.

The Government is calling for 25,-
900 young women to join the United
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for service as nurses.
The war is creating an unprecedent-
ed demand for trained nurses. Only
those who have taken the full train
ing course are eligible for service with
our forces overseas. These nurses are
being drawn largely from our hospit-
ais at home. Their places must be
filled by student nurses enrolled for
the full training course of from two
to three years. Every young woman
who enrolls in the United States Stu
dent Nurse Reserve is releasing a
nurse for service at the front and
swelling the home army which we
must rely on to act as our second line
Of hospital defense. Upon the health
Of the American people will demand
the spirit of their fighting forces.
Age.-The call is for women be.
tween the ages of 10 and 35.
Qualifications. Intelligent, respon.
sible women of good education and
sound health are wanted-the pick OF
the country. A college education is a
valuable asset, and many hospitals
will give credit for it Credit will
also be given for special scientific
equipment or for preliminary training
in nursing, such as that given in
special courses now being conducted
by various colleges and schools. Some
schools, on the other hand, do not ever
require full high-school education.

CANNING WITHOUT SUGAR

ilt ldLSob ibiti6
gives only two pounds per person a
month and states that no mere sugar
can be obtained for canning This
should not mean that canning cease.
Fruits and vegetables must still be
preserved for winter use says the
Home Economics Department of the
University of Vermont Extension Ser
vice.
Vegetables do not need sugar in
canning at any time, so these should
be canned in large quantities. Fruits,
too, may be successfully can
ned without sugar and are satisfac-
tory to use for pie filings, puddings,
sauces, salads and for fruit punches.
In canning fruits without sugar 1t is
important to exercise special care.
Only fresh, firm, sound products
should be selected and should be pre-
pared carefully by cleaning, sorting
stemming, seeding, pairing and coring
as ne case requires. All equipment
needed should be ready before start
ing and great care should be given to
testing Jars and selecting good quality
rubbers.
In canning berries, they should be
placed at once, after washing, into the
Jar, filling it compactly without crush
ing the fruit. This can be done by
using a wooden paddle or by shaking
the lar to settle the berries. Then
place the jar in warm water and pour
boiling water over the barries, instead
Of sugar syrup, filling the jar. Wipe
around the mouth Ct jar carefully with
a clean cloth, place the rubber and
glass top in position. Partially seal
by placing the wire over the top, but
do not push down the wire clamp
Immediately put the jar in the steril-
izer (Which in most cases will be a
washboiler) and sterilize for 80 min
utes, counting the time when water
begins to boil. The water in the ster-
ilizer should cover jars at least an
inch.
In canning hard fruits, such as
peaches, apricots and apples, the pro-
duct is blanched by putting into activ'
ely boiling water from one to two
minutes. 1t is then dipped quickly
into very cold water for about min
ute, but not allowed to stand in the
water. Finish preparing fruit which
with peaches and apricots, will be to
remove skins. Pack in jars and con-
tinue as in case of berries.
After the fruit has been sterilized
for the given length of time, remove
lars from Gamer and seal completely
Invert to test for leaks in the seal and
cool as quickly as possibly, avoiding
drafts. II sweet canned product is
desired, there are commercial syrups
and other sugar substitutes which may
be used satisfactorily. The light corn
syrups are most satisfactory in can
ming strong favored fruits as cherries
pineapples, peaches and raspberries
| for in these the favor of the corn
syrup is not noticed.
Persons interested further in can
ming literature should write to the Ex-
tension Service, University Of Yer
mont, Burlington, Vermont, for in

margin. A number Of young women
in Red Cross costume added greatly 10
the picturesqueness Of the occasion
and by selling Red Cross tags added
considerably TO the receipts.
James L. Taylor, who had the mat
ter in charge and through whose ef-
forts the event was made great
success, has expressed the wish that
thanks and appreciation be extended
in this way to all those who either by
their contributions or interest and
help, aided in making the event such
success. $3712.85 was secured, all OF
which goes to the work OF the local

After an interesting talk on roads
by James L. Davis, illustrated by ster-

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

The communication in last week S
Journal which criticized the trustees
Of the Village Of Manchester for neg
lect of the dust problem, was unjust to
them in some respects.
Owing to government regulations 1t
is impossible to obtain suitable oil for
laying dust. The trustees did pur-
chase a quantity of road oil but it
proved to be Of inferier quality and
had no lasting properties.
1t being impossible to obtain oil,
the only method of dealing with dust
is by sprinkling with water But one
sprinkling wagon is available and it is
impossible to cover the entire village
with this equipment.
Before criticizing too severely
people should consider our present un-
usual conditions, both as to materials
and labor. Men and teams are needed
for essential work, the oil is needed
for our Navy and we must expect
some inconvenience at this time.

Officer Tells Sailing Date
Of Ship; Placed Under Arrest

The War Department authorizes the announcement
that young officer is held in arrest because he dvuged
to relative the name of the vessel upon which he
about to start and the scheduled date of depart
As result Of this prohibited information the relative
of the young officer, first lieutenant sent telegram to
him at the port of embakaton. This telegram which was
not in CIPHER furnished information which, in the hands of
the enemy might have endangered the vessel and all on
board.
The disclosure of such information by officers and
about to sail is strictly forbidden in General Orders
No. "a, War Department. 1917, and warning again is
sued that officers and men must not aequan relatives or
friends with details Of arrangements for departure. Dis
cipinary action faces offenders.
The case Of the young officer in arrest in this in
stance before the War Department for action following
investigation at the port of embarkaton
There is also to be further inquiry to ascertain
whether the immediate superior Of the officer held in ar
rest properly instructed this officer as to the requirement
Of secrecy concerning the of vessels and sailing
dates.
