Washington Woman's Idea of a "Simple Dinner" WASHINGTON. More than a score of prominent women of Washington have signed a pledge which binds them to serve no meal of more than three courses, to have one meatless day a week, and to simplicity in dress and

violating the spirit of the vow. After all, simplicity and economy never servo as synonyms each for the other, and every woman is aware that an "elegant simplicity" is invariably appallingly costly. A deeper meaning may well be read into the provisions of the pledge, and Economy made the handmaid of Simplicity. The intention of the women of the capital is most praiseworthy; women of other cities may emulate them, sure of the approbation of the nation. We cannot foretell the length of the struggle In which we have taken a hand ; we do know it will lay a heavy burden of taxation upon us and that there will be exceptional demands for self-restraint and sacrifice and labor. We should waste neither food nor money.

Boy Scout Gets Reptile as Trophy of Chase SCORE one for Young America ! The hands that once twisted the lion's tall, the hands that In '01 and 'OH twisted the Adam's apple of the Copperhead, have worthy successors in the small but capable hands that gripped with a

red-tummied water snake, fighting for its life. A khakl-clad youngster of twelve, bearing the name of Courtland Ogden and wearing the uniform of Boy Scout Troop seven did the trick. It was the best "get" of the day for the Iteptllo Study society. The encounter took place In the marshy meadows adjacent to the quiet waters of the Potomac river. With his senior partner in the craft of serpent sniping, Director Allen S. Wil liams of the Itopllle Study society, Ogden

'Stonewall" Jackson and other Southern generals will bo an object lesson worth while. The vtiur:iblc veterans of Dixie will be participants in the making of moving pictures of a past age on the nation's screen at Washington. Col. Robert N. Harper, chairman of the general committee of citizens in charge of the reunion, announces that plans for the great gathering are progressing notwithstanding the patriotic activities incident to the declaration of war against Germany. It has been definitely decided that the big parade shall take place Thursday, June 7, at 11 o'clock a. m. By direction of (Jen. George P. Harrison, commanding the United Confederate Veterans, the business sessions of that organization, including the annual election of officers, will be held June 5, G and T. Other events in the same week will be the conventions of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Confederated Southern Memorial association, besides regimental reunions, and the social functions which always are elaborate features of the reunions. The citizens of Washington are responding liberally to the call of H. F. Cary, chairman of the finance committee, for funds to entertain and care for their .guests from the Sunny Southland.

Commandant Elizabeth Poe and Lieut. Miriam Hubbard, oflicer of the day, made the rounds of the tents. The sirl soldiers stood at attention outside their canvas homes as the inspecting officers, faces stern and shoul

A week ago they were just beginning. At the end of the inspection tour the oflicers said they were pleased. The officer of the day, unofficially, of course, made the announcement that everything was perfectly lovely. Following inspection many of the girl soldiers obtained leave and visited relatives and friends back home in Washington. Discipline was relaxed and the girls roamed about the camp or received congratulating hosts of friends and relatives. Just outside the entrance to the cam? there is a confectionery shop, which sells Ice cream cones, candy, popcorn, cake, and picture postcards, but no cigarettes. It's amazing, the amount of ice cream a girl rookie, following a hard mar nli, can consume. When the drill hour Is over in the morning dusty rookies flock to the ice cream cone dispensary, and the cones which are bought would come near weighing, In the aggregate, as ranch as a six-inch shell.

EGG-PRESERVING PLAN

Spring Is Best Time of Year to Put Them in Storage. Eggs Can Be Carried Over Until Season of High Prices at Cost of About Two Cents Dozen Water Glass Is Favored. During the spring months market eggs usually retail at anywhere from 20 to 30 cents a dozen, whereas six months hence many will undoubtedly be selling at 50 and GO cents a dozen. The eggs that are laid in spring can be kept over until the season of high prices under proper management at a cost of about 2 cents a dozen. From all appearances it is a good investment to preserve eggs In the spring and consume them in October, thus enabling the owner to sell at high prices the eggs his pullets produced in the spring. For home preservation of eggs, water glass seems to be the best preparation, writes Prof. W. F. Kirkpatrlck Eggs In Water Glass. In Orange Judd and Farmer. It can be purchased at almost any drug store for about 25 cents a quart. One quart of water glass mixed with 12 quarts of water that has been boiled and then allowed to cool will make enough mixture to preserve about 15 dozen eggs. If the eggs are to be held six or eight montns, a stronger soiunon is ueuer. The water glass and the water are stirred until thoroughly mixed, then the liquid put Into a stone jar that has been thoroughly cleaned. Clean, wholesome eggs are dropped into this water glass solution as gathered each day. In filling the Jar, at least two Inches of tho liquid should cover the top layer of the eggs to allow for evaporation of some of tho solutlon. The eggs are placed small end

down In the water glass. The thin Little feed need ho given except durenuflmr of ruirnfiln ofTcetuallv excludes iiur had weather when they cannot

The jar Is stored in a cool cellar. to control potato blight Few Good Sprayings With Bordeaux Mixture Will Help Formula for Making Solution. A few good sprayings with bordeaux mixture will help In controlling potato blight. The first spraying should be made when the plants are about six Inches high, and should be repeated at intervals of ten days to two weeks as new leaves appear. To make the bordeaux mixture, dis solve six pounds of sulphate of copper in 25 gallons of water. In another ves sel slake six pounds of fresh stone lime and dilute to 25 gallons. Strain the lime solution and mix the two together when you are ready to spray. Do not attempt to keep from one spraying to another any of the unused mixture.

For ordinary poultry lice the best remedy is lice-killing powder, which is used to fill the plumage of each fowl to the skin twice or three times at Intervals of ten days. The little mites which cannot be seen except in large groups with the naked eye can be killed by painting the roosts and nearby woodwork with (quid llce-kilkir or with kerosene.

To this add one pint of zenoleum or a coal tar product and one pint of kerosene. Dilute until it can be applied with a brush or spray pump. The coal tar product kills disease germs, the kerosene destroys mites and the lime whitens the walls. 44 4-4-.j. j. .j " " 'X T 4 T "T T TI,y''T CORN IS BEST SILAGE CROP Provides Best Quality and Makes Greatest Yield Sorghum Good on Very Dry Soils. The first service of a silo is to provide a means of storing and utilizing coarse feeds or by-products that otherwise would be lost. The department of farm crops of the Missouri College of Agriculture recommends corn as the best crop In general for ensilage. It provides the best quality silage and in addition makes the greatest yield in tons per acre. Corn two parts and soy beans one part make an excellent combination for silage. On very thin soils or in excessively dry years the grain sorghums are commonly better than corn in that they return a larger tonnage per acre. In genoral, however, com is to be pre ferred. Crops which make a fair quality of forage when cured as hay should not be used in preference to corn for filling Silos. --no .n imcax cod camii Y tbbb AND MbAI hUK hAnfllLT Every Farmer Should Keep Enough Chickens to Supply His Own Table Need Little Feed.

TESTING SOIL FOR ACIDITY Most Common Method Is by Means of Blue Litmus Paper Pink Color Indicates Acid. The most common test for determin ing if soil is acid or sour is by means of blue litmus paper, which can be obtained at a very small cost from nearJy every druggist. A small quantity of moist soil from the field is compacted into a ball, the ball broken into halves, a strip of litmus paper laid across one part and the parts pressed firmly to gether again. After an hour or so the ball of soil should be again broken apart and the paper removed. If the paper shows a decided pint color tne sample of soil is acid, if a deeprooted crop such as alfalfa Is to be grown it will be well to test samples taken from both the surface soil and the subsoil. SUCKERINQ TOBACCO IS BEST Result of Experiment Recently Conducted by Pennsylvania Station Practice Favored. An experiment was made recently by the Pennsylvania station on two plats to demonstrate the value of suckerlng tobacco. A difference of 330 pounds of cured leaf per acre in favor of the suckered plants was secured with a difference in quality in favor of suckering even greater than the difference In yield.

Window-Box Gardens. Now that potatoes are scarce every bit of available space is being used in growing tliem. Already the women of the nation have worked out a scheme of growing seed potatoes in window boxes; thereby adding several dollars to the family income. When the housewife prepares her potatoes for the evening meal she cuts a piece from the "rose" end of the potato off before pedling and plants it in the sitting room window box, which contains either leaf mold, coconut fiber or sand. Each piece, says one potato planter, should weigh not less than

one and a half ounces, and the box should be kept in the window of a cool- but not too cool room until the sprouts are from one-nail to an men high. Thus the housewife has a supply of seed potatoes, which are daily Incerasing in value. I tiniti"i"..,"..,",..,....i..,,.,... YES! MAGICALLY! CORNS LIFT OUT WITH FINGERS i i You say to the drug store man, "Give me a small bottle of freezone." This will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn or callus, root and all, dries up and can be lifted off with the fingers.
