nurses training Ruth NTillett and sign up for duty with Q branch of the armed forces.
 Nurses are needed desperately and the girl who goes into nurses training now is bound to be of great value to her country in the next few years = whether she serves the civilian population or the armed forces.
 TRAINING WILL MAKE
 YOU INDEPENDENT
 And while you are doing some- thing to help your country win this war you are also learning a profession that will make you irl- dependent in the years to come.
 It is one of the ,handiest pro- fessions for women, for it offers a chance to do part time work to the girl who IS married and wants to contribute something to the family checking account. And, with little effort, nurse can keep her standing in her profession so that she can take job whenever she likes.
 Of course, your parents may try to talk you out of serving with the armed forces if you do get nurses training-for parents nat urally hate to see their daughters take risks and undergo hardships.
 But their sons have to fight this war, and as long as men do the fighting 1t is up to women to see that they ar cared for when they are sick or wounded.

c. We are planning to use honey for canning this summer? will you tell me just how much honey to use for the different kinds of fruits? Of course we will have some sugar to use. Can honey and sugar be used in combination for canning?
 A. For a thin sirup for sweet fruit use 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of sugar to six cups of water; for a medium sirup for medium sweet fruit use 2 cups of honey and cups of usgar to 8 cups of water. and for thick sirup for sour fruit use 4 cups of honey and 4 cups of sugar to 8 cups of water. If you want an allhoney sirup, replace the sugar with an equal amount of honey. Process according to a standard table for canning. Some added pointers are: always add the honey and sugar to the water; allow l pint of sirup to 1 quart of large fruit, and 1-2 pint of sirup to 1 quart of small fruit. Do not use too much sweetening - 1t masks the flavor of the fruit.

are faced with immediate unemployment
for lack of silver to fabriCate.
In sum, there is a war Shortage Of
silver in America, while the treasury de-
partment has more than one billion ounces
of silver buried uselessly at West Point
"Silver is the Stacker metal of the war"
comments the silver users emergency
committee.
And, as the committee suggests, why
have idle hands for lack of silver when the
government is loaded down with idle
silver?
TT is easy for Congress to correct the
l paradox, which has been caused by war
conditions under the Silver Purchase Act,
and to do SO without affecting monetary
relations.
Congress should pass the bill intro
duced- by Senator Theodore Green of
Rhode Island, which will release the idle
silver for industrial use at the discretion
Of the War Production Board.
Members of Congress from the silver
states are opposing the Green bill.
In doing this they are opposing the
war effort and they are inflicting injury,
perhaps destruction, upon the manufac-
turing industry which in the long past has
provided a large and regular commercial
market for silver mined in their states
The silver men will NEED that indus
try after the war. In their own enlight-
ened self-interest they should HELP TO
PRESERVE IT NOW.

IN buried gold is its hoard of idle silver.
These vast possessions Of the precious
metals were acquired, at abnormally high
prices, as a phase of the administration
monetary policies.
Even while we remained at peace, there
was controversial discussion of this policy,
and the controversy then brought forth
no answer TO the question, what is the
government going to do with its billions Of
dollars of gold and silver?
For the accumulated quantities Of both
metals vastly exceeded any possible re-
quirements as backing for currency issued.
It HE exigencies of war have presented
another question and provoked an
other kind of controversy.
Silver has suddenly become a strategic
war material due to shortages Of copper,
tin and other metals.
Right now the treasury department is
LENDING silver, in the form Of electrical
conductors, 10 government-controlled war
plants in order to keep the plants oper-

But the treasury cannot SELL the
silver-it has to be returned after the war.

ton of tanks airplanes and battleships.
In addition some $4,000 skilled art-
sans in the silver fabricating industries

TO THE EDITOR:
WHEN the war is over and
w the army is discharged, will
our many fine camps and camp
hospitals be razed?
viii the surplus medical sup
plies and equipment be dumped
on the salvage heap?
Will the trained personnel be
sent back into civilian life TO
seek employment i'm other lines
of endeavor and thus forget
their practical training as
nurses. X-ray experts, etc?
How can we avoid this great
waste of property and training?
What of the $4,000 people in
the United States who die
annually from tuberculosis?
What OF the 10000 who be-
come permanent invalids be-
cause of the ravages of this
white plague?
Early detection, hospitaliza-
ton and proper treatment
would reduce these numbers TO
the minimum.
A compulsory physical eX-
animation for all people between
the ages of IS and so would
give us a card index of all those
infected.
Then our army hospitals and
medical equipment would be
most useful in conquering one
