Atlanta, Ga., July 17.—"Yob are en
titled to an extra amount of sugar
these days for homo canning. Do not
let this privilege tempt you to do a
wrong to your neighbor and your
country.” This is a message from the
Stood Administration to Georgia house
wives, received at the headquarters of
tho Food Administration here.
"Don’t hoard sugar,” the message
continues, “buy It as you need It and
keep your canning supply separate from
your table and cooking sugar, keeping
the latter strictly within the three
pounds per month per person limit, or
cutting this allowance down even more
If you can. In buying your conning

you will not use any of such sugar
for other than canning or preserving
purposes. Do not break your prom

the regulations, and make your pur

Saving The Reserves
The total wheat crop for 1P18 Is es
timated to be near tho billion mark,
or In round figures, >31,000,000 bush

the average crop for the years 1012
to 1)16 and a Jump of 43% over last
year’s yield.
This is all true, but It does not at all
mean that with this bumper crop com
ing In soon we can begin to eat wheat
at our normal rate of consumption. To
do so would be almost the same as
to manufacture a great number of aer
oplanes and then use them all for
pleasure purposes Instead of war ac

America this year has probably
reached the high water mark of her
agricultural production for the period
of the war.
A tremendous task? But we

YOUNG WOMEN
WANTEDAS NURSES
CALL TO YOUNG WOMEN TO EN
ROLL FOR SERVICE. SOME OF
THE REQUIREMENTS.
Tho Government is calling for 26,-
000 young women to join the United
States Student Nurse Reserve and
hold themselves in readiness to train
for services as nurses.
The war is creating an unprece
dented demand for trained nurses.
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for serv
ice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses en-
rolling for the fall training course
of from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the Unit
ed States Student Nurse Reserve is
releasing a nurse for service at the
front and swelling the home army
which we must rely on to act as our
second line of hospital defense. Upon
the health of the American. people
will depend the spirit of their fight-
forces.
....Age—The call is for women be
tween the age of nineteen and thirty-
five.
Qualifications—Intelligent, respon
sible women of good education and
sound health are wanted—the pick
of the country. A college education
.is a valuable asset, and many hospit
als will give credit for it. Credit will
also be given for special scientific
nurse is not only learning to serve
but serving her country from tho out
set
Finances—The student nurso gets
her board, lodging, and tuition free,
at practically .Very training school,
and in most cases receives asmall re
muneration to cover the cost of books
and uniforms. After graduation she
has an earning capacity of from $100
to $300 a month. Private-duty
nurses now receive an average of
fr im $100 to $120 a month together
with board while on duty: institution
n ises from $50 to $250 a month to
gether with board, lodging and laun
dry: and public health nurses from
$100 to $260 a month without main
tenance. There is no danger of tho
earning capacity of nurses being low
ered after the war ends on account
of the great number who will then bo
qualified for the profession; the coun
try will need all the nurses that can
be trained, not only during the war
but after it, especially for reconstruc
tion work. Even if the war ends with
in three years, every student nurse
will be able to complete her training
and will be needed.
An Honorable Service—Ever since
the days of Florence Nightingale the
nursing profession has been one of
especial honor. It was never so hon
orable as it is today. The Army needs
every nurse it can get to “keej up
with the drfat.” The United States
Student Nurse Reserve is tho equiv
alent for women of the grent National
Army training camps for soldiers.
Tho Government will rely upon tho
student nurses to fight disease at
home, to care for those injured and
equipment or for preliminary train-l dl f nl>le<1 > n our hazardous war indus-
ing in nursing, such as that given in | tries, and to make themselves ready
to serve when the time comes as fully
trained nurses, either abroad or at
home. Let us show that we know how
to answer tho Government’s call to
the women of the country.

Florida Baker Expects to Market It
at Price Below That of
Wheat Flour.
■Washington.—Peanut flour bread
has been put on the market In wide
distribution by a baking company In
Gainesville, Fla., working In co-opera
tion with B. F. Williamson, a chemist
of that city, the food administration
reports.
The peanut flour used Is made from
peanut cake left after oil extraction,
it is said to contain a satisfactory
percentage of fat and to have almost
twice the nitrogenous food value of
dried beef, In the ratio of 44 to 26.
The loaf Is made of one-fifth peanut
floor to four-fifths wheat flour, which
produces a balanced ration, supplying
both bread and meat Ingredients.
Peanut flour Is said to be readily
r tlble, wholesome and palatable,
the Florida company expects to
be able'to market It at a price below
that of wheat flour.
There are 1,697 nurses’ training
schools in this country. Their need
is as great and imperative as that of
the Army School of Nursing. Those
who enroll for these schools will be
assigned in vacancies occur.
The enrollment card will indicate
two classes of registrants—Preferred
and Deferred. The Preferred class
will be those who aro ready to accept
assignment to whatever hospital the
Government directs them, although
they may state what training school
they prefer to be sent to. Those who
» vuuusu register in the Preferred class will be

The greatest need for the next few
months Is for wheat. Because Amer
ica has plenty of other foods to substi
tute far wheat she la being asksd either
to give up her share of the wheat en-1
tlrely until the coming harvest, or to
use a minimum amount.
Children and Invalids must have
some wheat. There are some who
have few wheat substitutes available
and who cannot use non-wheat cereals.
In order to Insure these their neces
sary fraction of the wheat supply,
many others over the country are ab
staining from wheat entirely. *
