Now that the vegetable In thU part of the state is at full, and thrifty owners of gardens are bavins; in many instances hard work to dispose of their products, prtlcu larly the perishable ones, a word suggestion may not be amiss.

It i that under no circumstances shouli a single edible garden vegetable wasted. It may not be possible market them all, and in many In the producer might not be situated to dispose of them at a price, even If he were so disposed. Bu person who has a surplus of any thins could with small dlfflculty find come one who nould be willing to ac cept It, cither for present consumption or for cunning for use later. This is real which is to bi considered In this carnpansn (o. Eat what you can; esoi all you can, sell or give away all you are no able to eat or can: and it really doe; not so greatly matter whether you sel the surplus or give It The Important thing is that it shall be used for food, thereby lessening; the demand for grain, meat and other which will be needed in the provisioning of the world.

Look over your garden today and day. See If there Is surplus Of anything which Is likely to be wasted. If there it, see that it gets somehow Into somebody's kitchen and upon table. Tou may not have much money if you give It away, but the end In view, which after all nation and wurid-wide, will be just certainly attained. Conserve a' Home.

The above refers in large part to article! which from their nature are perishable anU connot dried for winter use. canned or tides which be preserved should in some way )e put Into way of being used; but first of all, every housekeeper should to It that to the limit of her utmost and far beyond, fruits vegetables for latei "With in mind t. 'lousekecper Should take careful stock of her cans as well as of the which she has to can; and before 3 season ends receptacle will hold garden products and should be filled. Every empty can on the pantry or storeroom sholveti should be an accusing finger, and an admonition set busy. This is a form of charity which may very properly begin at home, though It should by no moans end there.

ItrpeatlHx a Admonition. Last week it was urged In this column that every owner of a garden bear In mind the probable Hhortage of seeds next year, and so far as possible gather and preserve them for himself. This may very well be repeated, since it Is a very Important thing, and one which insures seed at better germinating quality thun probably could bo secured from dealers or seedsmen. Also, If properly nttcnd- to. It will Insure seed from the best plants or stalks.

In tho way of corn nnd potatoes In particular it urged that the sight of an early nnd exceedingly hill should not be sufficient to tempt tho appetite to its Immediate use on tho table. Better wait a 'ittle. i bulk of the crop comes In, nnd save the particularly good hills for seed. Also after tho bulk of the string beans aie harvested, there is bound to be a more or less abundant supply of pods huvo been overlooked, and so have become too largo for use In canning. Let them ripen on tho vines, and lute In the a a dry pod is gathered and the beans shelled and piescrvcd.

Admiral Jellicoe cherishes no illusions on the submarine question and makes no attempt to sweeten the facts to please his public. "The Germans have not mastered us," he quietly declares, "but, on the other hand, we have not mastered the U-boats." The miracle by which the submarines were to be swept from the seas remains to be performed, but in the meantime they have utterly failed to make good Germany's confident York World.

Our Gain from the War. We are a wasteful and wickedly wasteful. We shall study in the school of economy. We must supply our allies with food dur- the ueriod of the war. That means that much land now unproductive will be made to yield crops.
