STATE CONSERVATION MAKES CHANGES IN SCHOOL SELECTION Several important changes have been made in the method of selection of students for the junior conservation school conducted annually by the Ulinofs Department of Conservation, it was announced today by Director Glen D. Palmer. The modifications, which have been explained to school officials and sponsoring clubs, include selection by means of a merit system, restriction of enrollment to boys and girls of junior and senior status, and transfer of part of the sessions from Lake Villa to Springfield. Dates for the Lake Villa sessions are June 12-17, June 19-24 and June 26 through July 1. The Springfield session will be held at the State Fair Grounds July 17-22. Application for enrollment must be appioved by a county superintendent of schools or a high school principal, and each student must be recommended by one or the other of these two school officials. Each student is to be sponsored by a civic or sportsmen's club which will be asked to provide the $15 scholarship. In addition to many of the clubs which have been sponsoring Students for more than 10 years, several new organizations have expressed an interest in this year's classes. Students may choose between one of the three sessions at Lake Villa in June, and the one large session at the State Flair Grounds in July. As soon as the quota of 50 has been filled for any one Lake Villa session, or the 200 at Springfield, booking for that session will be closed. Deadline for applicants at Lake Villa is May 1; at Springfield it is May 15. James C. Helfrioh of Hammond, education supervisor, will be in charge of both schools, but Lewis Cox of Charleston will handle the Lake Villa sessions under Helfrich's supervision. HIGHWAY ACCIDENTS Motor vehicle accidents Illinois highways took the lives of 158 pea sons during January, according to a report by Edwin A. Rosenstone, director of Public Work and Buildings. This death toll was 4 per cent less than the 164 fatalities recorded during January, 1904. STUDY CANNED GOODS FOR BEST VALUE. SAYS EXPERT Know wihat's in a can, especially now when your grocer has bargains on his shelves to, tempt you. Canned green beans, sweet corn and peas are among the plentiful foods on the market now. Milton C. Geuther, marketing specialist at the University of Illinois, says the federal grades on cans are excellent guides fipr any homemaker because they represent definite standards. Grade A includes the best of the crop, qarefully selected on the basis of size, color and maturity. Grade B foods are not so perfect as Grade A, but ,ttiey also are chosen according to size, color and maturity. Grade C foods are good but not so select as Grade A and B. Tliey are wttiolesome and nutritious but may lack eye-appeal. If grades do not appear on the labels of canned foods, it is important to read the rest of the label carefully fof more information. There are certain . facts that have to be listed on the label, such as content of the can in ounces, cups or pieces; the ingredients (according to predominance if the can contains more than one food); and any preservatives, a'rtificial colorings or flavorings that may have been used. Style or form of pack must also be stated, such as whole, sliced or diced. Fruit must show whether it is canned in heavy, light or slightly sweetened syrup. Variety of some foods must also be given, such as freestone or cling peaches. Repeated buying of brands that you have found satisfactory is a good practice, Geuther says. With nearly 400 different foods and food combinations offered for sale in cans, it is impossible to know them all. And price is not always a reliable guide. Studies have shown that neither the highest nor the lowest priced brands of canned foods necessarily give tlhe best value. Classified Ads are Read by Everyone! NASH GIVES YOU MORE!

STATE NURSES' GROUP OBSERVES ANNUAL TAG WEfiK Bright yellow tags are being worn on many trim nursing uniforms wheft the Illinois' State Nurses' association . observes its second annual tag week, March 7 to 13. The ISNA has furnished tags for its 11,000 current members to wear while on duty during tlhe Week. The emblems worn by ISNA members signify that the wearer is a registered professional nurse and a current member of the American Nurses' association, and its affiliate,. the Illinois State Nurses' association. The statewide tag week is being observed for two reasons... to furnish an opportunity for the nurses to interpret the association and its various programs to the public, arid to stimulate the interest of the nurses in their professional association. "Visitors in 'a hospital, institution or industrial organization who see the bright yellow emblem on a uniformed person can identify that person as a professional nurse," said Miss Frances L. A. Powell, ISNA president. "The tag also serves to identify the nurse as one who is willing to work through the nursing organization to raise the standards of the profession and to improve nursing service." It was the need to establish high standards of nursing and to protect' toe public as consumers of nursing service that prompted the organisation of -the ISNA fifty-three years ago. it was founded to fight for the registration of nurses in order to guarantee tlhe best, nursing care by the best qualified nurses possible. Since the passage of the Registration Act in 1907, the ISNA has continued its efforts to improve nursing standards through its educational and legislative programs in recognition of its responsibility to the public.
