HOTBED AIDS IN GROWING
FLOWERS AND VEGETABLES

With winter all around, It seems
hard to have thoughts of spring and
yet it is not too early to be laying
plans for the hotbed, according to
Walter r. Ballard, specialist in hor-
ticulture for the Extension Service.
He says that well-regulated hot
bed will be found of distinct advan-
tage in getting certain types of flow-
ers and vegetables off to an early
start in the spring.
While this may be carried out in a
small way by starting seeds in a
box in the house, it is usually diff
cult to maintain uniform tempera-
ture and moisture conditions and
too often the light is inadequate to
develop strong, vigorous kind of
plant from which best results are to
be secured in the garden. For these
reasons, a hotbed located where it
will be protected from the cold winds
and fully exposed to the warming
rays of the sun will be satisfactory.
Mr.. Ballard explains that artifl-
cial heat may be supplied to the hot
bed through the use of some fer
menting material, such as stable
manure, or by electrical heating
units. AS it requires from six to
eight weeks to produce a plant
strong enough for transplanting, in
most sections of the state hotbeds
should be ready for seeding some
time in March,
Another valuable adjunct in secur-
ing hardy, young plants is the cold
frame, which is a sash-covered frame
without artificial heat. After the
young plants have been in the hot
bed about a month they may be
transplanted to the cold-frame where
they will be given more room for
development and at the same time
be made more hardy for the final
transplanting in the garden.
The temperature of the cold-frame
and hotbeds may be regulated by
raising and lowering the sash by
hand.

FRUITS AND FRUIT DISHES ARE
GOOD THE YEAR AROUND

Throughout the year fruit and
fruit dishes are among the most pop
ular desserts and popularity is JUS
titled because Of their tempting flaw
or and appearance, according to Miss
Margaret McPheeters, specialist in
nutrition for the Extension Service.
But they also rate high nutrition
ally because Of the vitamins, MINER
ais, and bulk that fruit in any form
contributes to the diet. For this reas-
on, Miss McPheeters recommends
that every member of the family re-
ceive five or more servings Of fruits
and vegetables each day. One Of these
five servings may be a fruit for
breakfast and still another might
be a fruit dessert at lunch, dinner,
or supper.
From January to December, fruit
sauce is standard dish. To make
good fruit sauce one of the import
ant points is to be sparing with the
water, it is pointed out. In the case
of apples, most popular fruit for this
purpose at this time of year, add
only enough water to keep the fruit
from scorching. Do not forget to add
a bit of salt and add the sugar dur
ing the last few minutes of cooking.
For compete, the fruit should
be cooked from the very beginning
in sugar strip. The fruit must
hold its shape throughout the cook
ing. The sugar in the strip hardens
the fruit somewhat and in that way
helps it to hold its shape. Good COM
pote fruit available at this time of
the year is the pear.
Both pears and apples are excell-
ent baking fruits. Apples should be
baked with the skins ON In hot
oven, while pears should be peeled,
generally cut in half, and baked in
moderate oven.
Dried fruits, like fresh ones, are
served most often as sauce; aside
from the preliminary soaking, their
preparation is much the same. Wash
dried fruits in hot water before
soaking them and then use the soak
ing water to cook the fruit, In order
to get all the good flavor.
Most dried apricots need no soak
ing. Put them directly into boiling
water and simmer for 80 minutes.
Start figs in cold water, then simmer
them 20 to 80 minutes. Dried peach
es are best if soaked in cold water
for half an hour, then cooked Is to
20 minutes. And prunes generally
are best dropped in boiling water,
left there for an hour to become
plump, then simmered for half an
hour until they are tender. Raisins.
which go into any number Of things,
may be pumped by putting them in
a small amount of water, then bring
ing them just to the boiling point.

A Fifth Column!

THE liquor traffic was described
\ as 'the most dangerous Fifth
Column threatening the United
States" by Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith,
president of National W. c. r. u,
in her annual address to the 1910
convention of the White Ribboners.
"No man and no nation ever be-
came great or maintained its great
ness through self-indulgence," she
declared. "The only path to individ-
ual or to national achievement is the
path of self-discipline which
strengthens body, mind, and spirit.
She set forth the destructive re-
lationship Of the liquor traffic" to
three basic factors of the American
way Of life: Christian citizenship,
the Christian home, and the right of
every citizen to grow and to achieve.
'sThe liquor traffic is Fifth Col
umn in its effects, which are de-
stroying our civilization, our homes,
and putting our citizens in slavery
to a narcotic habit"
The convention called for ''prohi-
bition in defense" as the only way
the nation could conserve and
strengthen its economic and man.
power resources. Recognizing that
under post-repeal conditions the only
immediate step possible is local ac-
ton in local communities to dry
up" areas around military camps
and naval stations, the convention
called for such local option legisla-
ton and also promised every eff
fort to secure federal action toward
removing the accessibility of liquor.
The representatives of 100000
women in 10, 900 local unions through
out the nation also reaffirmed their
historic stand against the principle
Of war but recognized immediate
world conditions by calling for ire
armament for defense, not only
physically but spiritually" 1t again
called on the President and Con-
gress to keep us out of war and to
keep our troops at home.
The convention also decried the
''liquor propaganda in motion pic
lures through unduly long drinking
scenes and the implications that
drinking is part of average Amer
lean home life." 1t went on record
against block-booking of movies;
commended youths efforts to break
free of the liquor traffic by develop
ing iquorless social clubs, milk bars
and fruit juice stands; and called
upon Christian women to stand firm
on their beliefs about gambling and
not to take part in gambling no mat
ter where held or for what purpose
the proceeds are to be used.
But, most significant of its ac-
tons was its endorsement of its
presidents words:
mo nation, weakened at its heart
by self-indulgence, can long sur
vive."

Matthews, Managing Director Of the
Association, through a modern
program consisting of clinics, tuber-
culin testing, x-rays, medical re-
search and the Miracle House, pre-
ventorium.
Although we are, at the present
time, running ahead of last year, we

dous amount of work needs to be
done in this state, since 1t has the
third highest death rate from the
