RATION 'RITHMETIC IN
GARDENS

One reason-of the many-why
Victory Garden headquarters of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture is
anticipating a season of more, and
better, and bigger victory gardens
in 1914 was the easy sums in mental
arithmetic by which surplus gardens
crops of last season could be COM
pared with the ration points allowed
for processed foods. An excerpt from
a letter applying for the gardening
guide, Growing Vegetables in Town
and City, is typical of many:
Last year our little garden includ-
ed two dozen tomato plants. We
gathered more tomatoes than we
could use fresh, so we started can
ming tomatoes for the first time in
our household. The three of us found
that we could wash, scald, peelfi boil,
can and process IA pins of tomatoes
in not much more than an hour. Four
teen ints was the limit for the COW
cred tub we used for processing.
When we counted up after the first
batch we figured IA multiplied by 8
equaled 112. Then it dawned on us
that this was about equal to three
quarters of the monthly ration points
for the three of us.
1.-THE week at the top of the sea-
son when we canned on Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday evenings.
we ended UP with the pleased feel
ing that we had gained two full
months on our blue stamp supply.
For the season Ca pretty dry one at
that those two dozen tomato plants
supplied us with Is dozen pints of
tomatoes-all that the three of US
have wanted for the winter, and
Christmas gifts of four dozen jars.
The whole pack figured up as just
about equal to our total of points
for processed foods for year. That
proved mighty persuasive as one good
reason for wanting to grow better
garden this year and to can more
food"

ANDRUs URGES JOINT DEBATE

L. A. Andrus, Centreville publish
er and candidate for the Democratic
nomination for representative from
the First District, has suggested, in
the interest of the war effort econo-
my in automobile tires, gasoline and
oil, that the four aspirants for Rep.
David j. Wards seat join in public
debate instead of conducting individ-
ual rallies.
In an open letter to Representa-
tive Ward, copies of which were sent
to former State Senator Dudley G..
Roe, of Sudlersville and Delegate
Calvert c. Merrigen of fredericksburg,
Andrus suggests revival of the
good old American custom" made
famous "by such men as Lincoln and
Douglas"
Mr.. Andrus' letter is as follows:
My Dear Congressman Ward:
Our great American forefathers
were not blessed with all the conven-
fences of transport and communica-
lions that add to the comfort of our
living. DUE to the emergencies of
war however, it is only right and
proper that we return to some of the
ways of our embattled political an
cestors. In the interest of saving
gasoline, oil and tires, not only for
candidates, but also for those who
may wish to hear them, suggest
that candidates this year revive a
good old American custom, that OF
public debate, made famous f
course, by such men as Lincoln and
Douglas, but practiced as we'll by
many other candidates up to the time
of our own fathers.
l am writing to you and the other
aspirants for the Congressional nom
ination suggesting that in the nation
al interest, we four hold a series OF
public debates so that we can cut by
rs per cent the use of our cars and
those of the public. suggest that We
mutually agree upon the centers OF
population at which all four of us
shall appear. and upon the dates OF
those appearances, and that we four
issue a joint statement to the press,
so that we may count upon large au-
diences at these centers at the time
appointed.
Very sincerely yours.

QUALITY VIEs WITH QUANTITY

1.-THE significant nutritional factor
in this war is that we are paying
much attention to the quality as well
as to the quantity of the food we
eat" says Dr.. r. C.. Sherwood of the
Civilian Food Requirements Branch
of the War Food Administration.
'In determining the food require
ments for civilian poulation, calcula-
tions are made of the content of the
more significant nutritive factors, in
Guiding proteins, fats, minerals and
vitamins. A specific example of an
important nutritional program of ma
tional scope is the enrichment of
-four and bread, as a most economical
and equitable way of distributing
these added nutrients. Stress should
be increased in nutritional educa-
ton programs upon the use of en-
riched -four and bread for home and
institutional use."

 This needlessly confuses the story until one is told that love is Zeus by any other name.
 Athena was such 8 charming girl that Zeus got to like her, and grew quite proud of her talents as god dess of counsel and bringer of vic tory. The latter trait is probably why members of the Women's Army Corps top off their uniforms with her image. That is, when she is in uniform.
 Recently the War Department is- sued orders which call for occasion al frills in WAC lives. A girl may wear appropriate clothes for active sports, wear evening clothes for unofficial social functions after re- treat, or "civvies" on specified oc- casionS.
