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 sugar in 25 pound loia the Govern ment has your written promise that you will not use any of such sugar for other than canning or preserving purposes. Do not break your prom ise. Buy your table and cooking su gar in two pound lots, according to the regulations, and make your pur chases lust as few and far between as possible. Because of the lack of ■hips and recent submarine sinkings, sugar Is coming into this country slow ly, and It must be distributed accord ingly If the general supply Is to hold out and meet the needs of all house wives for their canning and preserv ing. That is why you canot secure your whole season's canning supply of sugar at one time.” "It Isn’t whether you can afford to waste that teaspoonful of sugar ev ery, morning, but rather whether your country can afford to have you do it One teaspoonful multiplied by some thing less than 100,000,000 (our popu lation), multiplied by 356 (days In the year) means something In helping to Win this war.

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 els. This Is an Increase of 16% over 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 tivities. 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 equal to It, It we keep to our conserva tion program, and redouble our efforts so that a goodly portion of our lilt supplies of food may be stored as a X reserve against emergencies. It Is easier to save the staple foods now than at any other time of the year, for the produce of the war-gar den can be substituted tn a great meaa- 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.

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 and to help fsed the Allies If only It I assigned first, and all "possible consu ls made to go as for as possible and Is not wasted. 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. * STANDARDIZATION FOR THE WOMEN’S DRESS Standardization of women's gar ments is discussed as a measure of war cconcmy by the Woman’s Cen tury official organ of the National “Every intelligent woman longs to be released from the slavery of -slothes—men have had a standard since the american revolution, dif fering in detail but not In form—why ean not women be equally freeT asks the Women’s Century. “Women area laves to fashion, which has been the leader and dictator in the past, of good taste.

The Deferred class is composed of those who limit their pledge of service—that? is, who will not engage to go to certain hospitals. This class is intended largely for those, who, for family reasons, can not accept training at a distanco from their homes. Those who register in the Deferred class will be assigned only after the Preferred class is ex- hausted. The Government relis on th patriot ism of those who enroll to fill out Preferred cards if they possibly can, thus volunteering to go where they are most needed. Nobody will be assigned to any schools whose conditions of training are not approved by the State Board of Nurse Examiners.
