Will Keep On Hoeing.

Farm work by women in the United
States not only will continue as widely
as during war times, but may increase,
according to the officers of the woman's
land army of America The New York
state branch of the organization has
been holding convention, and it was
decided that there should be no let-up in
the business of sending out units of
young women to help remedy the labor
shortage.
Mrs. Robert c. Hill, who probably
knows more than anyone else about en-
listing city girls for country work, is
authority for the statement that farm
ers all over the state have, become en-
thusiastic hackers of the land army At
first they were skeptical, insisting that
women could not do the heavy work of
men. The hundreds of girls who went
out with the units, however, have shown
that industry and skill could make up
for mere strength in most farming ac-
Invites, and there are some kinds Of
work in which on the average they even
excel men.
A farmer who owns several hundred
acres near Poughkeepsie was among the
speakers at the convention. He told in
detail how he had done his work through
the last season with the help of the
young women, after he had been unable
TO get men. The results were better
than in former years and he has notified
the land army that he will take the girls
as long as they want to come to his
place.

Begin Day with Smiling Face.

A smile in the morning is worth two

A breakfast dish that never fails is

is wise and the winner in the long run,
Milady is also quite human and just ar
likely to feel crosswise in the morning
as any other member of the family. The
capable woman is too busy setting a
harmonious, progressive keynote for the
day TO even think Of her own mental at

economics for Armour & Co. Happiness
is much matter of habit. If milady

morning, she viii soon take on that at

Cleanliness at Home.

The Housekeeper's Responsibility foI
tuberculosis" is the subject of an article
in a recent periodical and as houses and
housekeeping suggest much of the whole
sphere of woman's work, the title is ad-
visedly used. In one of the publications
of the National Society for the Proven
ton and Relief of tuberculosis is the
following statement: The friends Of tn.
berculosis. or consumption, are dirt
damp, darkness and drink; the enemies
of tuberculosis are sunlight, fresh air
good food, rest"
We quote to some extent from the
article as follows; "A while ago every
body thought that tuberculosis was
hereditary Now we know that it is a
house disease, thriving because we do
not live enough in the open air and sun
shine and because we have chosen to live
in cities SO crowded that air and sun
shine have a high price set on them.
water, light and air are nature S
great disnfectants. If the housekeeper
bears this in mind, she need not fear
tuberculosis or many other disease that
like dark or unsanitary surroundings.
First of all, remember that while no one
can live without air, anyone can get used
to bad, stale air, and living in it will so
lower the vitality that we are likely to
catch anything that is floating around.
"A properly ventilated house is essen
tal to good health. There should be a
window open in the bedroom summer
and winter Begin with a few inches at
time if you are not used to it, but
have pure air in the room at night. Sun
shine is the cheapest tonic in the world
and one of the best disinfcctants. No
disease germ can live long on exposure
to direct sunlight. When you add plen-
ty of clean water, good soap, elbow
grease and fresh air to the sunlight, you
have cleanliness that is hard to beat"
Heavy stuffed articles that are not
properly cleaned and aired are dirt and
dust breeders and they, in turn, harbor
germs. See that these articles are kept
as clean as your other furniture.
Plumbing is another thing that must
be closely looked after in order to pre-
serve the health of your family.
While tuberculosis is not apt to be
carried by water, it is known to be ear
ried by milk, and as the article referred
to goes on to say, milk is such a fuuda,
mental food in the household that great
deal of care should be taken to keep il
clean, cool and free from flies in the sum
mer. The housekeeper who has the well
fare of her family at heart does not begin
to watch for danger when the milk ar
rives at her doorstep. She should know
something of where the supply she uses
comes from and how it is handled"

ARISTOCR4CY OF LABOR
FORMING IN ENGLAND
And Race Suicide Will Be the Outcome
Of the Movement by Which Labor
Seeks to Destroy Capital, Says
Dean Tnge of st. Pauls
Cathedral, London.

London, March Is Correspondence of
the Associated Press Race suicide, as
the result Of the "aristocracy Of labor,
will be the outcome Of the movement
by which labor now seeks to destroy
capital. according to Dean Inge, of st.
Paul's cathedral, in an address recently
at meeting of the Eugenies Education
society. England's dense population, he
asserted, will then disappear and the
country will revert to the quiet, rural
England of 1850, with London, bereft of
her wealth. the spiritual capital of the
world"
Neither voluntary restriction of
births, which only lowers the death
rate" he said, nor famine, nor pesti-
lence, nor war has much effect in re-
ducing numbers. The late war cost l2,-
100000 lives from the separation Of
husbands and wives, in addition to about
100000 killed. But those losses, he
added, may be made good in few years.
But at home we must face the fact
that the upper and middle classes prob
ably will be destroyed by predatory tax
alton. We are witnessing the creation
of new privileged class, an aristocracy
Of labor, which will become exclusive and
conservative when ii has won the privi.
lege Of exploiting the public for it's own
profit. 1t probably will refuse to tax
itself for the benefit of the proletariat,
so that when the loot of the minority is
gone, we shall no longer support the
waste-products of civilization.
From the eugenic point Of view this
will be an advantage, but since the cheap
races must end by capturing our trade,
the privileged workers must themselves
decay. The trade unionist probably will
be allowed to place only one son in his
union and will take care not 10 have
more. The industrial employment of
women will also lower the birth rate.
Thus, in every class there will be ten.

GARDENING an ANTIDOTE
FOR BOLSHEVIK IDEAS
So Y. NJ. c. A. Is Planning a 1919 Cam
paign of "Americanism" and the
Speaking of the English
Language.

Washington, d. c.. March l4.--Ameri-
canism illustrated in growing victory
gardens is the best antidote for bolshe-
vik doctrine according to the Young
Mems Christian association, which is
planning a l9l9'campaign of American
ism and the speaking of English Ian
guage via the victory garden" Details
of the campaign were completed here to-
day by the national war garden COM
mission, cooperating with the immigra-
ton department of the Young Mems
Christian association in Chicago. Plans
also provide for the showing of the vic
tory garden work in moTing pictures
throughout the country.
TO start off the campaign, ten thou
sand garden and canning books have been
sent to Chicago in addition TO several
thousand posters. The Young Mems
Christian association had $50 acres of
industrial gardens last year and they
hope to better that record this year.
These gardens are 25Xl50 feet.
This is one of the most constructive
campaigns yet undertaken" said Charles
Lathrop Pack, president Of the national
war garden commission to-day, DO not
forget that the garden produces some
thing besides food. 1t produces thrift
so important to the nation at this time
Then too, it means contented workers
everywhere. The man with q victory
garden realizes the value of home and
he knows the value of making regular
trips to the bank. Then too, the incen-
tive to get out in the open and speak
the English language is of tremendous
value.
THE banks of the country know the
home food producer for a good custom
er and a good citizen. The time to begin
making that citizenship is when the citi
zen is new. The best antidote for boil
shevik doctrine is the production Of food
for the kitchen door"
P. s. Ridsdale, secretary Of the ma
tional war garden commission, has just
returned from Europe, where he spent
three months studying the home food
production plans. He points out that
everything possible must be done in the
United States to produce food close to
the point of consumption in order that
other foodstuirs that can be shipped long
distances can be sent abroad. There are
millions in Europe close to the point of
starvation, according to reports from
abroad.
Siberia, too, is to learn all about vic
tory gardening. Professor w. c. O'Kane
of the state agricultural college at Dur
ham, n. H.. has prepared a garden circu-
lar for distribution this summer in ST.
IBERIA by the agricultural educational ex-
petition under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian association. Pictures
from the national war garden commits

book which has been translated into Rus
