Ill Defense of Gardens.

Many persons have made light of

this country. The attitude of scoffers
is no criterion Of the value of the

CALL FOR OLD MEN TO
BEGIN ABOUT MARCH

Washington, Oct. 17.-Draft calls
for men who have passed their thir-
ty-seventh birthdays are expected to
begin about March l. Plans for
bringing the older class Of new regis
trants into camp have not been COM
pleted,' but the approximate date of
the first calls was disclosed yester-
day by publication Of testimony by
Provost Marshal General iCrowder
before the house military committee.
In all, Gen. Crowder told the COM
mittee, 2,399,000 newly registered
men between 18 and 45, will be called
before July l, and Of that number
more than two million will be phys
ieally fit fighting men. The calls
for general service men will be diyid-
ed as follows:
October, 345 900; November 04,000;
December, 1877, 800; January, 147,500;
February, 244,000; March, April, May
and June, 344,0O0, each month. These
men will supply both the army and
the navy and marine corps.
In addition 10000 men for limited
service will be called each month.
Gen. Crowder said the work of
new registrants should be
completed by January /.

Use Many Potatoes

Potatoes are plentiful, or should
be, as they are easily grown and are
most excellent food. Besides hav-
ing heat-giving qualities, potatoes
tend to counterfeit acid which forms
in the system from eating meat, eggs,
etc. This is one reason why potatoes
are especially good with meat and
other protein foods. An essential
thing to keep in mind when serving
potatoes is TO change the method Of
preparation frequently. There are a
good many ways to serve them. Keep
your eyes and ears open for this
information. Use potatoes instead Of
wheat when practicable.
A good rule to follow in serving
all starchy vegetables is to serve
emily one at a meal. In this way va
riety will be secured and those fed
will not have sutffy feeling when
they arise from the table.
The value of all starchy foods de-
ponds on thorough cooking. Raw
starch is indigestible and must be
changed to a form Of sugar before
it can be taken into the blood. Part
of this change should take place be-
fore the foods are eaten. All starchy
food should be thoroughly cooked.

It's Getting Cool

As the cool weather approaches,
the fuel question becomes timely.
Repeated warnings have gone out
that there is coal shortage to face,
and with the experience of last win
ter's attempt to make an inadequate
coal supply meet the stimulated de-
mand in bitter weather, early meas
mes should be taken to get out wood
everywhere it can be had
Now is the time to cut it to give
time for seasoning. Even with other
pressing work, find time to get out
wood fuel.
Many farms now have their home
supplies, but in certain localities not
much is cut beyond this amount. This
means no reserves for the villages
that are likely to be without coal at
some time through the coming win
ter. Cannot this be foreseen by the
community leaders? Action is called
for now.
A reserve stock of wood should be
on hand in any event. Coal may be
supplied the early part Of the winter
and fail later.
Seasoned wood will give a higher
heat value per unit Of labor than
green woodland labor is scarce.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-10-24
Organize for Wood Fuel

Wood fuel committees should be
ity if they have been allowed to lapse,
or appointed if none exist. They are
now needed to do many things, as to
find out the total fuel needs, wheth-
err the reserve is adequate, where
wood fuel can be obtained, to point
out means of getting it out, to or
ganize distribution, marketing, and a
hundred other things. These commit
tees will be very busy this winter
and will be able to perform good
service for their respective communi-
ties in easing the blow Of the fuel
shortage which is coming this winter
when zero weather strikes home and
billiards cripple transportation.

NEW HOME CARD CONSERVA-
TI0N WEEK IN DECEMBER

The week beginning Monday, De-
cember 2, has been selected as the
date for the new home card eonser-
walton week. On the Sunday before
the beginning of the campaign a
message from the food administration
directing attention to the new home
card will be presented in all Of the
churches in the state.
During the previous week the food
administration will utilize the splen-
did four-minute organization Of the
state in preparing the people for
conservation week. 1t is expected
that by the dates named the epidem-
ic of influenza will be over and pub
lie meetings will again be permits
sible.
Regent military developments in Eu-
rope should not in any way dampen
the ardor of the people for food con-
servation, it was stated at the fed
eral food administration at Nash
vile, for the reason that the redemp-
ton of territory in France and Bel
GUM that has been for the past four
years under the heel of the oppress-
or will add to the burden placed
upon the people of this country.
These people must be fed, and the
supplies necessary lean come only
from the United States. As the vic
torious campaign Of the allied armies
continues more and more people must
be sustained, so that it is more than
ever important that every conserva-
ton regulation Of the food administra-
ton should be religiously observed.
Even should there be a cessation
of war, there would be no lessening
of the efforts of the food administra-
ton, for thousands of people not now
within the reach Of the allies, in
like Serbia, Roumania and
Armenia and Bohemia and Poland
who are starving, would have to be
supplied with food, and these sup
plies must come largely from Amer
ca.

he situation, for new crops cannot

is going to direct all of
is energies during conservation week

people these plain facts SO that there
nay be no letting down in the con-
campaign.
