boris garden; and should emergency
arise, may help in preventing damage
by storm or flood or insect visitation.
If insect attacks can not be met by
simple methods, the gardening club
may buy sprayer for the use of all
its members. Costly garden tools
needed only occasionally also may be
obtained in this manner without hard
ship to the individual gardener.
Interest Boys and Girls.
An important feature of the work
can be the organization of boys and
girls garden clubs, separate from the
adults clubs. In banding together
the young folks to help in the cam
paign for more food, assistance may
be obtained from the states relations
service of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in cooperation
with the state agricultural colleges. 1t
is regarded as important that the boys
and girls be interested, for many of
the light tasks of gardening can be
performed by them and they will do
them willingly if given a partnership
in the undertaking. Exhibits of gar
den products and other outgrowths Of
the club idea may suggest themselves
to the club organizer.

POLL TAXES FOR WAR WORK
salvation Army viii Collect Refund
at Wichita for Use of Troops
Abroad.

Wichita, Kan.-Some weeks ago the
Kansas supreme court ruled that Ger
tain cities did not have to collect a
poll tax. Wichita Is one of them.
Then the Salvation Army officers
here conceived a bright idea.
''Why not ask the men for their
poll tax, and use the money in fur
thering the war work overseas OF the
army7' they asked.
Now accredited solicitors of the
Salvation Army are collecting the poll
tax receipts of business men and 9TH
ers. They will present them to the
city officials when the refund is made.

MALARIA.

Mosquitoes cause the spread of ma
laria, but they must first be infected.
To be infected they must have sucked
the blood of an individual having ma
larial parasites. The mosquitoes then
after period of twelve days are in
fected and become carriers. 1t re-
quires about twelve days before the
sporozoites appear in the salivary
glands of the mosquitoes and they
cannot transmit the infection until the
lapse of this period of incubation.
The infected mosquito may live a
long time and infect more than one
person. The parasite will not develop
in the mosquito when the mean tenn
Terature is below sixty degrees F.
In malarial districts many persons
carry the parasites in their blood
without manifesting any clinical
symptoms of the disease. These per-
sons are carriers, and if they are Bit
ten by the anopheles mosquito, this
mosquito may become infected. Thus
these human carriers also are import
ant factors in spreading the infection
in endemic districts and must be tax
zen into account in preventive meas
ures.
The diseases known at present to
be conveyed by mosquitoes are: ma
laria (anopheles), yellow fever (aedes
formerly known as stogomyia),

to command a larger salary after talk
ing their training than before they lost
their sight.
American Red Cross has supple
mented the Army's plan by creating
the Red Cross Institute for the Blind.
One Of its functions will be to provide
certain financial aid to equip the blind
man after his re~educationt is complet'
ed, as, for instance, furnishing type

teacher recently brought to the atten-

seemed to be the only means of sup:
port for the family.

found the mother very III and needing

were made for the mothers care and
| also for q home for the girl In the
country where she would receive real
home training and love. The mother
grew worse and died soon afterwards.
The seventeen-year-old boy enlisted.
The boy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help, but was
glad to contribute from his pay when
the true circumstances were made
known. The girl is now in the coun
try, going to school, and is receiving

Boat and Members Are Al

New York, Dec. 3.-The large Brit
ish steamship Mauretania, returning
to the United States with the first
large body of American overseas
troops, has anchored in Gravesend
bay. The liner probably will dock at
Hoboken.
The navy tug, it was reported, had
been ordered to meet the Mauretania
to bring ashore Admiral Henry T..
Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet,
who was returning from England as a
passenger. The army tug, it was said
had orders to bring ashore an army
officer of high rank.
Aboard the Mauretania, as announc-
ed recently by General March, chief of
staff, are several thousand members
of the air service; who were stationed
in England. The ship also carries a
number of. %casuals.
According to a recent announcement
by Brigadier General G.. H. McManus,
embarkation officer at this port, to
safeguard public health, the soldiers
were to be taken. directly to demobili-
cation camps for physical examination.
Barracks at Camp Mills have been
prepared for their reception.
Mayor John F. Hylan telegraphed
Secretary Baker asking that troops
aboard .the Mauretania be permitted
to parade up Fifth avenue. Permission
also was asked to give a dinner in
honor of returning officers.

The mayors committee of welcome
made a trip down the bay on the flag

Wilson Says Trip to France Is to
Make Good What U. S. Sok-
diers Fought For.
ADDRESSES CONGRESS
Formally Announces Trip as His Para
moun Duty--Nation to Be Kept
Informed of Peace Farley Work
Urges Suffrage.

Washington, Dec. 3.-In an address
to congress in joint session, President
Wilson formally announced his inten-
ton to so to Paris for the peace con-
ference, saying the Allied govern
ments have accepted principles enun-
ciated by him for peace and it is his
paramount duty to be present.
The president said he will be in
close touch by cable and wireless and
does on the other side.
Referring to his announcement that
the French and British governments
had removed all cable restrictions up
on the transmission of news of the
conference to America, the president
said he had taken over the American
cable systems on expert advice so as
to make a unified system available.
He expressed the hope that he
would have the cooperation of the
public and of congress, saying that
through the cables and wireless con-
slant counsel and advice would be
possible.
Much of the address was devoted to
the railroad problem, for which the
president said he now had no solution
to offer. He recommended careful
study by congress, saying it would be
a disservice to the country and to the
railroads to permit a return to old
conditions under private management
without notifications.
No Program Possible Now.
No definite program Of RECONSTRUCT
ton can be outlined now, Mr.. Wilson
said, but as soon as the armistice was
signed, government control of bust.
ness and industry was released as far
as possible. He expressed the hope
that congress would not object to con-
ferring Upon the Wal Trade board or
some other agency the right Of fixing
export priorities to assure shipment
of food to starving people abroad.
AS to taxation the president in
dorsed the plan for levying Sc, 600, OO0,-
600 in 1919 and for notifying the pub
lie in advance that the 1920 levy will
be 1900, 0O0, 900,
Urges Suffrage Bill.
The new three year naval building
program was Endorsed because, the
president said, it would be unwise to
attempt to adjust the American pro-
gram to a future world policy as yet
undetermined.
+ Paying tribute to the peoples con-
duct in war, he spoke particularly of
the work of women and again appealed
for wcEnan suffrage by federal amend
ment,
Declaring he had no private thought
or purpose" in going to France, but
that he regarded it as his highest
duty, the president added: 1T is now
my duty to play my full part in max
ing good what they (American sol
diers) suffered their life's blood to
obtain"
The president declared he stood
ready to release the railroads from
government control whenever a salts
factory plan Of readjustment could be
worked out.
The president said he hoped to see
a formal declaration of peace by treat.
