THE PARENTS PART

You were shocked to hear that the
number OF deaths resulting from the
influenza epidemic In 1918 was great
err than the total losses among the
American troops during the war. Is
1t any less shock to know that the
Army lost more days of service on
account of venereal diseases than
from any other disease? One hundred
and ninety-seven thousand such cases
were reported in the army camps dur
ing the Is months ending November
1918. This meant loss of approx
mately two and one-half million train
ing days. Is 1t any wonder that the
Surgeon General of the Army stated
that If It were possible to rid his
men either Of all wounds or OF all
venereal diseases he would rather rid
them Of the venereal casesf
But venereal disease is not, pri-
marily, military problem or a war
time epidemic. Estimates show that
one man contracted the disease after
entering the service to every five be-
fore entering It, This means that the
source of disease is In civilian COM
munities-your communities. The
draft, with its examination OF the ma
tons men, resulted in digging un'
derneath the sod of everyday life and
showing that out of sight in your
town, in your State, there is going on
yearly an untold waste of manhood,
womanhood and childhood by the raw
ages of these diseases.
Being highly contagious, they nave
entered homes and marriage relations
Women and children, not knowing the
cause, have suffered from them LOT
generations. Innocent young wives,
previously healthy, have been mutlat'
ed by necessary surgical operations,
some have been made invalids, many
have remained childless, and others
have lost Life itself. Babies have pesn
born dead or defective, others have
become blind few hours after birth
This Is in addition to the thousands
of men who, thinking they were cured
by patent remedies, have been visit
ed years later by steriltty, paralysis
and insanity.
PreventabIe Diseases
Nor Is this terrible waste OF health
and life inevitable. Syphilis ana
gonorrhoea must be classed as pre-
ventable contagious diseases we
know and can identify through the
microscope the germs which cause
them. We know and can locate many
of the personal carriers. Exposure
to them can be practically mintm1zed
to the vanishing point if we elimt-
nate the entirely unnecessary and
harmful contacts of irregular sexuaE
intercourse. After the success OF the
army camps in prevention by suppress
sion Of prostitution, education, recre-
alton and early treatment, we have
an exact method of attack upon them

MANY boys and girls when they
leave school find work that offers a
high wage for beginners. But these
wages seldom grow because the work
requires no training.
"a position with a future and
steadily increasing wages requires
school training.
"Does it pay to continue your stu
dies? Education means successful
and useful life; it pays the Individual.
Education means efficient workers; it
pays the nation. how this to your
parents and ask them what they think
about it. Stay in school"

HOW TO USE RAW

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
AS cheap and satisfactory source
of phosphoric acid, raw rock phos-
plate merits extensive use on farms
In localities where the material Is
available. Nowadays when all COM
nerclal fertilizers are abnormally ex-
pensive is the time to make liberal use
of raw rock as a reinforcement of
stable manure, as a material to be dis
tributed and plowed under with green
cover crops and as profitable plant
food for direct application to soils
that are rich in organic matter.
The relative unpopularity Of raw
rock phosphate in the past has result
ed from incomplete and unsatisfactory
experimental work. Recently the farm
use Of raw rock has expanded to o.
600 tons annually, worth approximate
ly $75O,OO0.
OF course when immediate results
are desired, the more costly acid phOs-
phate is preferable as its plant food
is readily soluble and suitable for rush
order use. Raw rock phosphate, al
though it contains twice as much phos-
phorlc acid as the average acid phos-
plate, slowly releases its stores of
food for crop use. 1t costs about $3.50

Some War Economies.

There is probably nothing that
seems so useless In the eyes of the
average person as an Irish potato
which has begun to rot, but the de-
partment of agriculture in its wartime
experiments has discovered that starch
can be. made from decayed potato
just as well, If not better, than from
good one, and so the surplus stock
of the farmer or dealer need no longer
be thrown away or wasted.
In like fashion chemists seeking
methods to avoid worldwide food
shortages have found that sugar can
not only be made from beets, but
from sweet potatoes as well. The
farmer himself can make good strip
from his sweet potatoes by boiling
them until they can be mashed In the
water to thick. mushy liquid, To this
ground malt is added and the result,
after properly cooking for about an
hour, is a thick strip. which is strained
through a cloth and used for any sort
of sweetening.

There are several styles in suits that
have almost equal chances for popu-
larity this spring and the only way to
determine which Is the best choice is
to try them on. Straight short coats,
opening over vestees, with narrow
plain skirts, are universally admired,
but they are not universally becoming.
II they were there is no doubt but that
this type of suit would soon lead all
the rest, THE test of becomingness
must settle the question of choice; no
other consideration is so important.
But there is quite wide range In
styles to choose from, so that every
woman may be confident of finding the
particular one that suits her best.
One Of the Observation-Disclosures
skirt models is shown in the picture
and 1t is an extreme example of this
mode, with skirt rather too narrow
to be practical. But to the woman
who aspires to look slender 1t will GER
tainly make strong appeal, for the
skirt is long as well as narrow. The
very thin woman cannot consider it.

Advance showing of pretty after
loon frocks for summer, reveal many
ovely models made of sheer, plain

high priced. In fact considerably more
expensive than plain georgette. They
appear In patterns and color combina-

even so, the dress Of plain wolfe or

with a rival made Of the figured pat

Flr>Retardlnc PaInts

From tests made at the federal bu
reau of standards II appears that,
while practically oil paint coatingz
have some fre-retarding action, none
of those 50 far tested afford very great
protection. All the samples In question
were materially damaged By appllca-
ton Of fame for q few seconds. Both
sodium sllicate and whitewash rank
comparatively high. These have the
advantage Of cheapness and can both
be used on the same surface. However,
