Questions from Gamers.

Under war conditions the canning
season presents many problems. The
food administration is constantly re-
ceiving letters from housewives who
ask How much shall I can? Will
the government see that I have
enough sugar for my canning? Will
the government help me to dispose
through commercial channels any
surplus garden produce I ma put up ?
Can I give some of my surplus canned
goods to the Army or Navy?
I! First, the food administration urges
every housewife who can to put up
enough fruits and vegetables to make
her family Independent Of factory
canned goods which are needed for
he Army and Navy. The government
will save a sufficient supply Of sugar
for every housekeeper to do this.
Great care, however, must be used in
canning to see that no sugar is vast
ed. and on no account should the
sugar given for canning purposes be
used instead to augment the house,
hold consumption for other purposes.
The government may not aid any
family to dispose Of any home canned
goods through commercial channels.
Neither may the government either
receive or buy from individual can
ners any canned goods for the Army
or Navy, although it appreciates the
spirit of patriotism that has prompted
so many housewives to offer to supply
them. It is held from accepting these
generous offers by a law that forbids
any governmental department to ac-
cept any article without paying for it.
Even if home-preserved foods could
be legally bought, their purchase
would be impossible because of the
difficulty entailed' in inspecting small
lots. Supplies Of this kind must be
purchased in reasonably large units
and must be uniform both as to in
gradients and containers. Especially
order that the greatest possible guam
tity may be packed in a given space
and that the keeping quality Of goods
may insure their arrival in good con-
dition.
However. every can or jar that is
filled by the housewife for home use
released an identical quantity Of COM
mercially canned goods for export.
There will also be saved the labor,
space on freight cars, and cost of
transportation that would mount up
had to be sent broadcast throughout
the country, instead of being shipped
in large blocks to cantonments or. to
Europe. So the housewife who cans
enough to supply her family does a
tremendous "bit" for her country.
A special effort should also be made
this summer to use the garden
produce for the main dish at meals
instead of eating the vegetables as a
side dish. The following is one way
to do this.
Stuffed Tomatoes.
6 round tomatoes of uniform size.
Cold fish
1 cup diced celery
/ cup boiled dressing.
Scald, skin and chill the tomatoes.
Scoop out centers which may be used
for tomato sauce or soup. Flake the
fish. add the celery and one-half of
the dressing. Fill the tomato cups,
put a spoonful Of the salad dressing
on top of each, and serve on lettuce.

RED R'sd cross sss

The farmers in Cavalier county are
doing a big bit for the Red Cross or
ganization of their county. They
have donated $500 acres of wheat
fields to the Red Cross. each donation
being of either one-half an acre or an
entire acre. The farmers realize the
necessity Of doing all they possibly
can for the Red Cross. and will help
to swell their fund materially. The
fields donated look attractive as each
is marked with a large red cross on
the white board which has been put
up in the field. A similar movement
is we'll under way in Pembina county,
and it has been reported that Nelson
county is contemplating the same
movement

SUMMER FOES OF
HEALTHY BABIES

July is the first Of four months Of
special danger to babies, and this year
war conditions make the summer
months particularly hazardous accord
Ing to information made public today
by the children's bureau Of the u. s.
department of labor.
In July h deaths Of children un-
der two from certain easily prevent
able digestive diseases are usually
more than double those in June. BY
August h deaths from diarrhea and
enteritis are three times what they
are in June, and the number does not
fall again to the June level until Mo-
vember.
Conditions which lower the resist
c or children make these diseases
more threatening. This year the war
makes it more difficult and costly to
reed children properly, as they must
be led II they are to be strong and
we'll to resist disease. At the same
time the toll of deaths on the Euro
pean battlef1elds makes it more nee
essary to conserve babies lives,
n combination Of circumstances
has made it imperative to increase
babies this summer. The national
baby test has pointed the special
health needs Of the children in hun
dreds OF communities and found out
the children who must have special
care. Communities are using various
ways to meet the needs revealed by
the test. One way is to advertise the
value and economy Of using milk, even
at a high price per quart, in feeding
children. AS one New England mother
said, milk is less expensive than doc
tors bills. -
The one way which has proved
most effective in saving babies lives
Is the employment Of public health
nurses. The public health nurse, both
In the city and the country, can make
generally known the most modern
means Of guarding children's health,
and he children's bureau believes that
the places which, are employing such
nurses to protect their children and
to meet the needs revealed by the test
can in. that way do much to save
babies and thereby to meet the wars
demand that life shall be conserved.

the city was deprived of consider
able revenue. and our commission
ers have been Obliged to reduce our
police force TO proportions prob
ably inadequate. Nevertheless they
nave been able to handle the situa-
ton up to the present time, and if
in the opinion of the parole board
it is not possible to remove these
men We petition the board that they
send a sufficient number of men to
Rock Island to look after the sit.
uation- On the other hand, the
board may contend that the ques-
ton of policing Rock Island is not
4 responsibility of theirs. However,
in answer to this, I would like to
point out that if body of men, who
are sincere paroled convicts, is
placed in jeopardy because of the
fact that their presence here is
being taken advantage Of by out
side parties, then it is a RESPONSE
bility of the parole board to police
Rock Island to an extent that will
make these holdups impossible.

they are rendered We will be glad

That it be the sense of the mem
bers of the board that while the
many crimes which are being com
mitted may not all be attributable
TO the paroled convicts residing in
this community it nevertheless fur

causing considerable embarrass-

deem 1t imperative that these par

their homes or to communities
where they can be more closely

further that the secretary be auth
orIZed to lay this question before
both the superintendent of pardons

governor of Illinois"
The foregoing resolution, adopted
by the board Of directors Of the
Rock Island Chamber of Commerce.
was enclosed by F. W. Bender, sec
rotary, in letters to William Colyin
OF the board Of pardons and paroles
and Governor Frank Lowden IN
the letters were included lists of
all crimes committed in the COM
munity since the outbreak of the
crime wave, several of which par
oiled men have been charged with as
the perpetrators.
Mr.. Bender's letter in part reads
as follows:
The writer has been in great
sympathy with the work which the
parole board has been doing and
has hesitated to take any action
whatsoever, feeling that it would
be rather unfair to jeopardiZe the
parole of a large number of men
who justly deserved parole because
OF the misdemeanors of a few. How
ever, the proposition has reached a
magnitude where it is not a matter
of personal views but one of pub
lie interest. Public interest is in
sympathy with the parole idea but
not in sympathy with the action of
the parole board in loading on a
single community the number of
paroled prisoners that have been
loaded on this one. They believe
it to be a mistake.

CRIME REPORTS
Net One Official Notification of
HOldup or Burglary in City
Last Night

Not a holdup or burglary report
ed to the police during the night is
a record that Rock Island has been
unable to boast Of for some time,
although there are persistent rum
ors afloat today that two parties
were robbed during the night.
Names of those held up and the
amounts taken cannot be obtained.
According to persistent rumors a
holdup took place on Seventeenth
street and another on Nineteenth
street. However, IL is hoped that
neither rumor is true and that at
last signs are apparent that will
give reason to believe that the
crime wave is on the wane.
Notwithstanding the above three
young men were placed under ar
rest today by Patrolman Dennis
Mccarthy, on suspicion Of being
implicated in several jobs. The
men state that they came TO this
city last night from Peoria and that
they intended to obtain employ
ment on the government housing
project in this city.
