"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
THE Ol'TLOOK
Speaking1 oi the uncertainty of
tie duration. oi the war and advis
ing tha* Americans can more quick
ly do their pari it" they appreciate,
a* 'he start, the tremendous gravity
of the task they have undertaken,
the Portland News says;
"We had best, North and South,
Kast and West, take this war with
tbe utmost serioiwiess. We had best
consider it as a struggle that will
demand tho utmost energy and the
utmos< sacrifice we can put into it
for a period of years. We should
not for on emoment indulge in. fear
concerning the ultimate result, but
we should realize that the attain
myn tof the ultimate, the achieve
ment of victory for free government
iu the world, will bo the soouer
realized if we go to the task before
us wi»h energy to match that which
i'russianiin:, in its dtsparatiou, now
displays.
"suppose Prussian diplomcay suc
ceeds in so muddling the Russian
situation as to eliminate Russia fro.
among its iavs! Suppose that we fail
to check Prussian U-boat piracy for
a year to come, until there are 1000
ins'ead of less than 400 of these de
signers at work sending the com
merce of the world to the bottom of
t!.c sea! Will that mean that France
\s II be beaten, or that Great Britain,
will quft? Will it mean that the
greater difficulty involved will ren
der homeless the consummation of
the purpose with which we entered
the war?
"1* is a pallid and an anemic A
merican patriotism that can even
conceive as much. Wo must real
ize, however, that the confidence
of patriotism rests «iot in boasting
but 'a power and the exercise there
of. With the determination to win
we must exert the strength to wia
— no; precipitately- nor hysteric
ally, nor unwisely, but with the
grim resolve that w© must strike
with all our might and be ready to
repeat- the blow yith greater force
as the occasion shall demand.
"We should consider it as quite
possible—indeed it would be better
if we regarded it as certain—that
vic'ory would be finally achieved by
*he predominant force o£ American
arms employed directly in crush
ing the Prussianism. 'Carthage must
be destroyed,' or there will be no
p^ace, saw we will record the death
of civilized progress."
A Big Program.
The recently organized Carlisle (Pa.)
chamber of commerce has been carry
ing forward Its work in a very practi
cal manner. For 1917-8 the chamber
has prepared a program of work which
It expects to undertake which covers
completely every branch of activities In
which a commercial organization in
that particular community can engage.
The program is along departmental
lines and provides for definite things
to be undertaken in each department
The members of tbe chamber are now
at work getting action on the program
they have outlined. .
SUNLIGHT IN GARDEN8.
No amount of fertilizer, water
ing and cultivation will make up
for tlie absence of sunlight in a
garden. Home gardeners before
attempting for the first time to
use a back yard or other space
should consider carefully how
many hours a day any part of the
yard is in shadow from build
ings, fences or trees. At least
five hours of sunlight a day are
necessary for a successful gar
den. The more sunlight they get
the better it la for most vege
tables. For this reason It la bad
practice to put plants of low
habit between tall growing
plants which will shade them
for the greater part of the day.
As a rule foliage crops such as
lettuce, spinach and kale do
fairly well In partial shade, but
even these must have sunshine
two or three hours a day. In
laying out the garden therefore
use shadier parts for such plants
and reserve the sunny spaces for
those which must have plenty of
sunlight to grow any fruit prop
erly.
THE FOOD CRISIS.
Plant a Million Mor* Garden*.
By CHARLES LATHROP PACK,
President National Emergency Food Gar
den Commission, Maryland building,
Washington.
CHARLES LATH BOP
PACK,
Affiliated with the
conservation depart
ment of the American
Forestry Association.
The work of toe
national emer
gency food gar
den commission
alms to assist in
making food more
plentiful In vil
lages, towns and
cities. There are
a great many as
sociations and
clubs throughout
the country Inter
ested In school
gardens, home
gardens, back
yard gardens, va
cant lot gardens,
flower gardens,
etc.
We believe that
this year all these
associations ana a great many otuer
people should plant food gardens to a
greater extent than ever before, and
flowers should in many oases make
way for vegetables.
The national emergency food garden
commission is undertaking to Inten
sify this sort of planting by using in a
large way the machinery that already
exists, by giving greater publicity and
efficiency to the movement and by co
ordinating the work.
The Americanization of our country
is proceeding at a swift rate and with
the utmost thoroughness. Patriotic
words are empty air. Patriotic acts
alone will help. Plant a food garden
and do your part toward the economic
victory.
We expect to induce more than
1,000.000 young people, women and
elderly men this year to plaut a food
garden who have not done so before.
This alone should add much more
than 1250,000.000 to the food value of
this season's crop. Those who have
made such gardens before should In
crease their efforts.
You are anxious to do something pa
triotic because you feel that way.
You want to help your country. Tou
can plant a vegetable food garden.
Are you doing so? Start now!
RADISHES AND LETTUCE.
Attractive Additions to the Table of
Any Household.
[Prepared by United States department of
agriculture]
Lettuce does not withstand heat
well and thrives therefore in the early
spring or late autumn. In order to
have the leaves crisp and tender it Is
necessary to force the growth of the
plant. The usual method of growing
the plant for home use is to sow the
seeds broadcast in the bed and to re
move the leaves as rapidly as they
become large enough for use. It Is
better, however, to sow the seeds in
tows fourteen to sixteen Inches apart,
and when the plants come up to thin
them to the desired distance. With
the heading type this should be about
twelve Inches apart. This will result
in the formation of rather compact
heads, and the entire plant may then
be cut for use.
Radishes are so hardy that they may
be grown through the winter In cold
frames in the latitude of Washington
and farther south in the open ground.
In the north they require hotbeds, but
can be sown in the open ground as
soon as the soil is moderately warm.
They should be planted In drills twelve
to eighteen inches apart and thinned
slightly as soon as the plants are up.
On a quick, rich soil some of the ear
lier varieties can be matured in from
three to four weeks after planting. If
the plants are allowed to remain long
in the open ground the roots loose their
crispness and delicate flavor, and In
order to secure a constant supply suc
cessive plantings should be made ev
ery two weeks. One ounce of radish
seed is sufficient to plant 100 feet of
row. A large percentage of the seed
germinates, and If the sowing is done
carefully later thinning may be un
necessary. The first radishei to ap
pear may be pullet} as soon as they are
of sufficient size, and this will leave
enough room for those that are a little
later. The plant is not suited to hot
weather, but should be planted in the
early spring and late autumn.

A Xew Back for a^n Old One
The back aches at times with a
dull, Indescribable feieling, making
you weary and restless; piercing
pains shoot across the region of the
kidneys, and again the loins are
sc lame that to stoop, is agony.
No i;se to rub or apply a plaster
to the back if the kidneys are
weak. You cannot neach the cause
Alaskan residents would do well to
p:ofit by the following example.
Mrs. G. G. Fosdisk, 6015 S. Law
rente St., Tacema, Wash., says: My
back was so sore and painful that
if I wanted to take up anything
frorn the floor, I had to get down
on ffiv knees. There yas a lump
aDOui. tie size of a dollar over each
of my kidneys and this made my
back so tender and sore that I could
hardly bear to have my clothes
truch me. At night I could scarce
ly turn in bed and mornings was
s' lame and sore that I could hard
ly get around. These troubles were
brought on by a cold settling In my
kidneys., .Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ed me."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
