OUT in the meadows there are few
IL salad plants to be had for the
" picking. Like all food materials
eaten without cooking, they must be very
carefully washed before using. Water
cress is perhaps the one most generally
known. 1t is also cultivated. 1t should
never be eaten if it has been grown
where there is any chance of contamina-
ton from typhoid fever or other disease.
This is true of any vegetable that is un-
cooked, but must be remembered espe-
cially in connection with plants growing
near water, since the latter have carried
the disease germs long way from the
place where the illness was. Pepper
grass or peppercress is another wild
plant useful in favoring other salads, if
too sharp to use alone. Sorrel may also
be used to give pleasant acid taste to
lettuce or other mild-havored salads.

STUDENT
 NURSES NEEDED BY UNITED STATES
Government Issues Call for Women to Release Grad
 uates for War Service.

Thru the National Council of De- fence the government has issued a call for 25,O00 student nurses to re- place graduate nurses turnout the United States so the latter can go to hospitals in France. This means that hundreds of American girls who have wanted to participate in the war can go into training at once perhaps lat CT go to France as nurses. The call for student nurses received by Mrs. A. w. Troupe, member of the Pine Bluff Women's committee of the council of defense is as follows:
 "The United States have 25,000 student nurses now-student nurses to release graduate nurses for work at the front. Without more student nurses cannot be sent to Europe and our wounded men will suffer for want of nursing care. The United States Governmen looks to the State Divis- ions and the County and Local Units of the Woman's Committee to supply these student nurses. This great res possibility and opportunity has been placed entirely in your hands.
 Ut is estimated that the army alone will require a total of 25,O30 graduate nurses by January 1, 1919. Alreaty 13,0O0 of this number have been withdrawn from civilian prac- tise for service in military and naval hospitals. Hence the Red Cross has just called 12,00O additional. It is an imperative military necessity that every graduate nurse not needed at home should enter military service. Graduate nurses can only be released by recruiting new student nurses. Graduate nurses can only be supplied by filling the training schools con nected with our hospitals. The prose- cution of the war demands that every such training school be kept filled by student nurses to their maximum teaching and housing capacity. Yet the demand for women in other bran ches of war service has depleted the numbers of sturents taking training for nursing until they are below that of normal times.
 "The American Red Cross and the Council of National Defense through it's Nursing and Woman's Committees are uniting their forces to conduct an immediate short and intensive cam paign to enroll United States stud ent nurse reserve for training schools in both army and civilian hospitals in order that every vacancy shall be filled. The most vital work in this campaign is the actual recruiting and this cannot be done in Washington. This important task has been delegat- ed to the State Division and County and Local Units of the Woman's Committee. On your efforts the suc- cess of this campaign depends"

WORLDS TONNAGE IS
 GAINING ON U-B0ATS
Head of British Admiralty Tells of Submarine Sink
 ings in Plan for Building.

London, July 3O.-Sir Eric Ged- des, first lord of the British admir- atty, gave the house of commons to- day review of the naval situation, and particularly defended the policy of starting national shipbuilding yards in discussing the ship building program in connect with the navy estimates. |
 The first lord compared the situa- tion today regarding tonnage with that of a year ago. Then the net loss in tonnage, he said, was 550,000 gross tons monthly. Submarines then were not being destroyed as fast as the Germans were building them, while the merchant shipyards were short of men and material. Four hundred thou sand tons net loss monthly was the British deficit. Every yard that could take naval work had been put on nav al building.
 Gradually during the past year, Sir lErid continued, the position had changed in many directions. Instead of losing tonnage, the worlds net result in the last quarter had been a gain, roughly, of 100000 tons a month. The allied and neutral world was as we'll off on June 30 as on aJn- uary 1, 1918. This result, he declared had been obtained by reduced sink ings and increased buildings.
 The reduced sinkings had been ar- rived at, said the first yord of the ad- miralty, by a greater productive ef- fort devoted to warships and small craft of an anti-submarine character. Nothing was included of commandeer- ed or acquired tonnage in this result.

 HONORABLE PEACE"

Amsterdam, July 3M-"We are ready to conclude an honorable peace as soon as our opponents renounce their hostile plans aiming at our destruction or repression" said Baron von Hussarek, Austrian prem fer, in presenting his cabinet to the upper house of the Austrian parlia- ment. according to Vienna advices. "So long as our opponents take the standpoint of one-sided dictation," he continued, there is nothing for us but to continue the war and carry it on so vigorously that it will be shortened"
 Baron von Hussarek said the dual monarchy could remain fully confi- dent in its army and alliances to ob- tain a good and honorable peace
 The chamber of deputies adopted the budget and then adjourned for the summer vacation.
