CHILDREN AND WAR ''Adults are llrat and children the last line of defense," says a bulletin of the State Board of Health. The bulletin further says, “Children are jthe citizens of tomorrow. Shall they ibe healthy and strong or sickly and weak? Would it be economy to hoard our money and only partially equip the first line of defense? Would It be economy to treat the lust line the same way? “In Europe, under the pressure of sudden warfare, the children were lor the moment, forgotten. In Great Britain, some of the first war economies were in the educational system. The erection of new school buildings ceased. Repairs and improvements wee not made. In Germany the same socalled economy was practised and in Berlin In 1915 there were twice as many crimes committed by children as in 1914. It surely is not economy or good business in war time or any time to keep health training, and moral and mental training from our children even in slight degree. In England, over 200,000 children in the age period of 11 to 13 left school to engage in work, and now the mistake Is <cknowledged and repair is going on. Sidney Webb says—"ln our frenzy for preparedness we actually began to tear down the social structure by closing and neglecting our schools. In Germany and France the same error was made and now reconstruction is the cry.” The child is worth the saving. and our second line of defense must be made stronger than ever. The high cost of materials and of labor must not stand in the way of making school houses sanitary. Let us strongly oppose all attempts to break down the school system either by relaxing enforcement of compulsory education or by so-called economy. Oppose all attempts to break down labor laws by giving children special permits to work as by exempting certain establishments from laws limiting hours of labor. Support as usual local and social agencies. Do not allow the holding back of education, juvenile protective associations, child welfare, realth .<<■• tivities. or better babies work. And above all. dont neglect spiritual a.id religious affairs. Economy docs not consist in simply not spending money.' CANNING GOOSEBERRIES.

In the canning of gooseberries it is essentia) that care be taken to grade the fruit to get a uniform product, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission, which is co-opcrating with this, newspaper in its campaign for thrift and for the prevention of waste in food products. The gooseberries should be picked over, stewed, and washed in a colander by pouring water over them, and then blanched for a minute in boiling water. Remove and plunge immediately into cold water for an instant and pack tightly into jars, filling jars with hot water, or syrup made of a cup of sugar dissolved in three cups of water. Adjust tops and partially tighten them, and then sterilize for sixteen minutes. After sterilization, remove jars from boiling water, tighten tops and invert to cool in place free from draughts. Wrap in paper to prevent bleaching. Jelly—Place clean fruit in an enamel lined preserving kettle with a few crushed berries at the bottom to prevent scorching and heat slowly with frequent stirring. After the fruit is hot. crush and strain through double square of cheesecloth placed on sieve, allowing juice to drip through cloth. Do not squeeze out juice but gently lift the opposite corners of the cloth and roll back and forth occasionally. Strain juice through a flannel bag to get a more transparent jelly. Measure juice and put it into a clean preserving kettle, bring to a boil again. Boil four minutes after addition of sugar. Have clean glasses ready in hot water and as soon as juice has come to a boil skim and pour liquid into glasses. Place the glasses one a board in a cool sunny window, where the air is free from dust. After the jelly has set, cover glasses in the following manner. Cut out pieces of paper to fit glasses, put a few drops of 95 per cent grain alcohol on the top of the jelly, dip the paper in the alcohol and place on the jelly. Pour melted paraffin on top of the paper to the depth of a quarter of an inch. It' tin covers [are available, put them on glasses, if there are no covers, cut discs of writing paper half inch larger than glasses, dip in mixture of the white of an egg and a teaspoonful of water and seal over top of glasses. —o GOODRICH FOR VICE PRESIDENT ■ (United T*res» Service) Indianapolis, July 23—(Special '<> Daily Democrat) — Capitol politicians discussed with interest today a rumor from Washington that national republican forces were backing a boom for Governor James P.

Still Time to Plant Certain Vegetables in This Section. ++*++++ + + + + + + + It is Not too Late to Plant + + — ♦ ♦ Sweet I’otato Slips. Late Irish + + Potatoes, Celery, Late Cabbage. + + Beans. Beets, Carrots. + +++++++ ♦ + + + + + + Washington, D. C„ July 18 —Garden space uo longer occupied by early maturing crops should be utilized, says the United States department of agriculture, by the planting of sweet potatoes, late Irish potatoes, celery, late cabbage, snap beans, beets or carrots. By planting these crops the home gardener should produce food products which may be stored for winter use. There is still time for any of these crops to mature. They should, however, be planted promptly. At this season many gardeners are inclined to allow the weeds to get a start in the garden. The crops need an abundance of moisture and the weeds should not be allowed to rob them. Where it is possible to practice irrigation either by running water in trenches with a hose, or by a sprinkler system, the crops may be carried through drought without loss. The water should be applied in the evening so that it will soak in before the sun rises. Cultivation

should follow the watering in about twenty-four hours so that the soil will not bake. It is an excellent plant to water eggplants, peppers, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, celery, and other crops needing highly fertilized soil, with manure water. Have a barrel covered with a fly screen in which to prepare and store the manure water. An occasional application of the manure water will hasten and increase the growth of the plants. The following cultural suggestions are made for the crops which may yet b" planted with fair chances of success throughout most of this region : Beans Plant in rows 2% feet apart for either horse or hand cultivation. and 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. A pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Sweet Potatoes. —Set the plants in ridges 3 to 4 feet apart. Space the plants 14 to IS inches apart. About 75 plants will be required for a hun-dred-foot row. Beets —Sow in rows 15 to 18 inches apart for hand cultivation or 2 to 2% feet apart for horse cultivation. The plants should be thinned to 4 or 5 inches apart in the rows. Cabtage— Set the plants in rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 14 to 18 incites apart in the rows. Sixty-five to ninety plants are required for a hundredfoot row. Carrots—Sow the seed in rows 15 to 18 inches apart for hand cultivation or 2 to 2% feet apart for horse cultivation. The plants should be thinned to 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. One ounce of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row.
