Evening star., 1918-07-07

The nationwide campaign which
has resulted in the planting of mil
lions of back yards
Cu1tiyatinr and vacant lots which
have never been cul-
hack LOIS. tivated before is being
followed by an equally patriotic ef-
fort to conserve all the surplus prod
uct Of these war gardens. The re-
suit is that the pantry shelves in
hundreds. of thousands of homes all
over the country will be extra heavy
this winter. In addition to feeding
themselves during the summer in
large part from their vegetable plots,
the war gardeners are lining up the
reserve supplies of food, which are
Just as essential to ultimate victory
as the Army reserves which are
counted on to deliver the final smash
ing blow when the time comes.
Reports to the National War Gar
den Commission from all parts Of
the country tell of the establishment
Of community demonstration and can
ming kitchens; of the part big manu-
featuring and Industrial concerns are
taking in helping their employees not
only to produce. but save food: and
Of unprecedented Individual effort to
add to the nations food supply by
canning and drying as many vege-
tables and fruits as possible. Organi-
cations of all sorts have aided in this
drive to prevent any of the food
which has been raised in such abun-
dant quantities from going to waste.
State. county and city committees
have co-operated with the commits
sion by distributing free to any one
who wanted them copies of the can
ming and drying booklets furnished
by the commission. Libraries and
schools, women's committees, banks
and business companies have been
sent consignments which they have
given out. In this way several mil
lion copies Of this manual. in addi-
tion to other literature helpful to the
home food producers. have been scat
tered from one corner OF the nation
to the other.
A big percentage Of increase is
shown over last year. AS result OF
the campaign conducted by the Ma
tional War Garden Commission dur
ing the first year the United states
was in the war, home gardens were
planted in large numbers and much
food was conserved; but this year.
according to reports already received
from all over the country. records are
being broken on all sides by any
where from so to 300 per cent. Some
cities and towns were quite well or
ganized last year. and there the num-
ber Of war gardens Is not SO much
greater this year than last: but in
hundreds of places there has been a
doubling or trebling of the food
production and conservation work OF
1917. Encouragement has been given
to the home food-saving campaign
this year by $4,000 in prizes which
have been offered by the National
War Garden Commission. for the best
canned vegetables grown in war gar
dens. These prizes. which will be in
thrift stamps. a book half filled to
each winner. go to the successful con-
testants at food exhibitions and fairs
all over the United States: and ma
tIonal recognition Is accorded in each
| case by a National Capital prize
certificate which accompanies each

effort of officials Of the bureau of
medicine and surgery of the Navy.
The plan Of abandoning the sick bay
and adjacent space in battle in favor
of sites previously selected. protected
by the ships armor and having more
or less permanent installment Of
lockers for surgical dressings, and
available running water, Is the basis
for all elaboration in this regard.
The U. S. 8. Pennsylvania has. and
other ships Of this type about to be
commissioned or building will have,
a complete portable sterilizing out
at. by which dressings. utensils. in
struments and water can be sterilized
by electricity at the respective battle
dressing stations. Sterile dressings
will be in metal containers, stored In
metal stands. which can be carried
from place to place as occasion re-
quires. For ships of the older types.
whose sterilizing outfits in the operat-
ing room are immovable and require
steam, ample supplies Of surgical
dressings will be prepared in advance
Of the dismantling Of the sick bay
dressings in metal containers will be
carried to battle dressing stations in
the movable stands.
For all battleships the permanent
installation of metal lockers at battle
dressing stations behind armor has
been recommended and largely car
ried out, and reserve stores OF dress
ings have been generously provided.
Passages, ladders. matches, which are
to remain open and give the readiest
access to the battle dressing sta
tions are now indicated by painted
men, even those who have Joined the
ship most recently and are least IA
miliar with the intricacies Of its

Hereafter, officials of the bureau
say. vessels will have installed aux
Hilary electric lighting circuits for
operating room and battle dressing
stations, SO as to insure. as far as
possible, adequate illumination OF
these important places amid the
casualties of battle.
The designs for the sick bay ana
dispensary of the new battleships are
based on the idea that the dispensary
will be used strictly for the COM
pounding and dispensing Of drugs and
for the clerical work done by the
chief pharmacists mate. The sick bay
will be for the occupation of the SICK,
and maintained as nearly as possible
like a ward in a hospital, all useless
thoroughfare being shut off. and that
