Vegetables For Winter Storing.

The gardener who has provided for
the immediate needs OF his family and
its canning and drying requirements
thereafter should devote attention to
fall crops of root vegetables such as
potatoes, bects, late turnips, carrots
and parsnips, which can he stored
easily for later use. 1t also would be
well to give attention To the produc-
tion OF mature Lima or other beans
which can be shelled and kept in bags.

than in 1917. Therefore the home

This is the message Of the United

There must be no backsliding among
experienced gardeners; they must re-.

sence of novelty must not deter those
who tried gardening for the first time
in 1917 from capitalizing their in
creased knowledge and skill Those
with experience must help thousands of
beginners to make every seed count
to get satisfactory returns from their
work with hoe. rake and watering eau.

caution.-In the United States there
are few laws which prohibit the laying
of poisons on lands owned or con-

all the more necessary to exercise ex-

several states notice of intention to lay

should never be placed in open or I'M
sheltered places. This applies partic-
ularly to- strychnine or arsenic on
meat Packages containing poisons
should always bear warning label

might reach them.
Barium carbonate.-One Of the
cheapest and most effective poisons for
rats and mice is barium carbonate.
This mineral has the advantage of be-
ing without taste or smell 1t has
corrosive action on the mucous lining

larger animals If taken in sufficient
quantity.
Barium carbonate may be fed In the
form Of dough composed Of four Parts

ordinary oatmeal with about one-eighth
of it's bulk of the mineral, mixed with
water into a stiff dough. A third plan
is to spread the barium carbonate upon

Phosphorus.-F'or poisoning rats and

Of phosphorus varies from one-fourth

FROM THE PEOPLE

A good audience greeted Mrs.
Wallace, the woman preacher, at the
Nazarene revival last evening. One
of the most interesting features in
connection with our service is the
music. Last night Rev. Anglin, leader
in song, was at his best.
The meeting was thrown open for
testimonies from people in the audi
ence and as both young and old told
of Gods power to save from sin, the
card-table theatre. dancing and other
things that are sapping the life of
many of the churches of today, every
body rejoiced.
The Savior in his Sermon on the
mountain, said. "Ye cannot serve God
and Mammon," Mat. 6-24. and when
preachers declare this truth, and there
people adhere to it, the world will be-
come Interested. Mrs. Wallace preach
ed with power and victory and as she
proceeded to tell of the old gospel as
the power of God unto salvation, the
interest was intense. At her invita-
tion about twenty knelt around the
altar and the service closed with
prayer.
Mrs. Wallace will be with us for a
few nights only and all should avail
themselves of the opportunity of
hearing her.
Miss. Gardner, one of our best
Deaconesses and Miss Dora Ferris

m HE War Trade Board as.
W. serts that Germany's wal
leaders are using the
submarine war weapon to pre-
vent fulfillment of American
agreement to feed and relieve
European neutrals. A mass of
cumulative evidence and indi-
cations in the possession of the
War Trade Bureau show that
Germany is employing the sub
marine menace to prevent nei-
ghbor neutrals receiving any
food or favors at the hands of
the United States and its asso-
ciates in the war and to coerce
these neutrals through starva-
ton into political and economic
dependence upon Germany
quite as much as to strike at
the communications of its op-
ponents = Germany's ostensi-
BILE aim in proclaiming the
ruthless submarine campaign.
Further indications tend to
show that the submarines are
being used, along similar dog
in-the-manger lines, to destroy
shipping without re-
gard to its employment in or
der to weaken prospective
competitors after the
war and to drag down neutral
tonnage as far as possible tow
ard a position of equality Cor
inferiority) with the German
mercantile marine, which has
lost between A and so per cent
Of its ocean tonnage, so that the
neutral trader may be equally
as badly off as his German rival
for tonnage in the after-the-
war race for commerce.
No other Interpretation can
be placed, for example, upon
the repeated instances of de-
of neutral Danish
ships on voyages between Ice
land and the Danish mother
country, entirely outside of the
war zone. nor upon the multi
tudious mistakes" whereby
Dutch and other neutral ships,
to the precarious mar
row way left open through the
prohibited zone are ,torpedoed
outside the zone by U-boat
commanders.
