WOMEN WITHOUT A NATION; British Take Not? of Peculiar Mar riage Entanglementa Growing Out of War. London.?"For Women Without a Nation" Is the title of a committee Just j organized by the American Woman's club under the direction of Lady Low ther. The club, In connection with its war work, has found that there are a large number of women in London who can not claim the rights and protection of any state; they are citizens of no country.' An Instance given by the club secre tary Is that of an Englishwoman who married a J^olglan and went with him to the United States, where he lived long enough to lose his nationality. Neither took out naturalization papers, and they returned to Europe so that the husband could enter the Belgian army, In which he Is now fighting. "We have record of more than a hun dred such cases," said the secretary. The club has a committee to help stranded Americans, to educate Ameri can children, to maintain work shops where hospitals are supplied to the allies, and to manage a knitting fac tory for the aged. "DON'T CAN YOUR BEANS" State of Ohio Is Requesting Oannera to Use Tin for Other Veg etables. Columbus. O.?Requests are being made to Ohio canning establishments not to put up hominy nnd beans this year but to use the limited quantity of tin available for other foods where cans are a necessity. Last year's pack of beajjs and hominy In Ohio amount* ed to 14^)00,000 pounds. Beans and hominy can be handled without canning. Tomatoes and oth er vegetables must be canned. Can ners will co-operate with state plans, their officials said. They asked the state to aid them In getting enough acreage to put out to keep their plants going In the canning season. The acreage of canning crops threatens to be reduced this year un less special work In helping It Is done at once.

Getting Supply From Air Not Only Big Factor In Nation's Dsfenae But In Enlarging Crop*. ; ?? The National Oeograph|c society discussing (he question of the nitrate 1 supply of the world points out that us a result of the scientific experi ment* that lmve heen going on for the pust two or three years, processes for Hecurlnx nitrogen from the ulr, as well iin others for securing It from our coal deposits, promise to give us an absolute Independence of any other nation In the world for nitrate supplied In the future. The bulletin say*: The much-discussed Issue of a future nltrogCn supply seems to have -been solved by scientists here and abroad Mince the outbreak of the war lu Eu rope. Heretofore the world has had to depend mainly upon the nitrate beds of Chile for the nitrogen. Many processes for extracting nitrogen from the air where It 1m to he found In superabund ant quantities, since It constitutes about three-fourths of all of our at mosphere, have been developed, but most of them have proved so expensive as to be prohibitive except In times of emergency. Recently, however, there has been discovered and put in use a new process that Is said to reduce the horsepower required to extract a given amount of nitrogen to one twelfth of the former proportion. The result of this will probably be that in the years to come tho world will find a cheaper source of nitrogen right' at hand In the air than has ever been found In the nitrate beds of Chile. It has also been found that through the cooking process big supplies of ni trogen can be extracted from coal. En gineers now estimate that if we were to coke twice as much coal ns we have In the past, which would still be less than 5 per cent of our total coal out put, the nitrogen thnt we could secure therefrom would be more than enough to meet all of our needs as a nation, either in peace or In war. In the cok ing of coal a substance is recovered which Is called by the chemist "ben zol." The expenses of recovery arc not excessively great, and just at the time when our government was an nouncing that there was no real ni trate deposit anywhere in sight in tho United States of really Important value, the descriptions of the Haber process of extraction from the air and of the processes for recovery from coal have been most timely. Not only will the new processes of extracting a bountiful supply of nitro gen from the air and from coal be an advantage to us In the matter of de fending our country, and In putting it upon an independent basis from a world standpoint, but It will be an im mense advantage to us In our agricul ture. The most expensive element that we have to put Into the soli to farm profitably is nitrogen. We ordi narily buy it In the shape of nitrate, green bone, or decomposed anlninl mat ter, and the farmer's fertilizer bill Is always heavy If he wants to produce large crops. A cheap source of nitro gen, such ns we might expect from a system of cheap filtration from the air, will enable the American farmer, large as his crops may have been In the past, to produce two bushels of grain where formerly he produced one, and to help feed a rapidly expanding world popu lation. Great Secret Lost. At Delhi, in India, stands an an cient iron monument which, though ex posed to nil weathers, never ru<rs or decays. Yet It has no protective cov i eeJng. Flere Is a secret which would j be simply Invalunble to the world, t which had been discovered by some ! Indian artificer of old and most unfor ? tunately lost. At a meeting of steel j and Iron men In London, the chairman I said that they could face the future with complacency if they could redis cover the secret.

The experiment lias boen tried. A dog cannot live longer than 13 days on a diet of white bread. Neither can a man. A dog or a man can live in ; definitely and fairly well on a diet of whole wheat bread alone. It is not tho best possible diet for continuous service; but it is better than a coi*1 i tlnuous diet of white bread. All you I folks who gorge yourselves on white bread and Imagine you are feeding yourselves are, as a matter of fact* starving yourselves.
