SAYS COMMISSIONER PRICE BY
SENDING DELEGATIONS TO
THE HEARING. ,
Ai the time is rapidly approaching
for the hearing, this is perhaps the
last opportunity I will have to repeat
to you my warning heretofore given
through the daily and weekly press
of the state with reference to the
danger that confronts you in the pro-
posal to increase freight rates on
many products handled by the rail*
toads of Georgia, in which you are
directly interested.
The hearing before the State Rail*
road Commission will take place be-
ginnig Monday, June 26th. While I
have no doubt whatever that the mem-
here of the Georgia Railroad Commis.
sion will do everything within their
power to protect the agricultural in-
terests of this state, it is nevertheless
essential that they should be thorough-
ly informed upon conditions and
know exactly how these proposed
rates are going to effect you, your
products and the commodities which
you use on the farm.
Already some of the county and
district agricultural clubs' have op-'
TEETHING BABIES SHOULD
BE FED CAREFULLY
General misunderstanding prevails
as to the cause of sickness in teething
babies. Often we hear the expression
from a mother: “My baby isn’t well,
it is teething’’ just as if it w ere a
perfectly natural and normal condi
tion for a baby to be sick while cut-
ting a few teeth. . It must be admit
ted that babies are very often sick
during the process of teething, but
why is this? It is not because it is
,the natural thipg for it to be sick then,
but simply because it is the natural
thing for a proud mother to think,
when she sees the first tooth peep
through the gum, that the baby may
now be given solid food in order to
make use of his new possession.
Just because a baby has a few ivory
points showing above the gums is no
reason for a sudden change in its
V nourishment While this perceptible
change has taken place in its mouth,
there has been no material change in
its delicate disgestive organs. There
fore upon giving it solid food instead
. of liquids as heretofore its stomach
is taxed as never before, and in order
to perform the new task thrust upon
it the whole system becomes upset
It naturally follows that there will be
bowel troubles which the child has
never experienced before. Let me
repeat that this is caused by ambitious
mothers, and-hot as a matter of course
-since baby is teething. In cutting our
wisdom teeth we older people know
that the sensation caused by our
teething was only a little itching and
soreness of the gums, just so is the
sensation to a baby when its first set
arrives.
Now as to the proper feeding of
the baby a mother should be most
careful. Its delicate digestive organs
should be carfully watched and un
derstood, for every infant has a sep
arate and distinct anatomy: and, in
order to know just what constitutes
the proper nourishment for different
babies, we must know just how iquch
strength and digestive ability that
particular infant -possesses. What
would be too strong for the diges
tion of one might be too weak for
anther, and vice versa.
A mother should nurse her baby,
but When this cannot be done the best
and safest plan is to employ a healthy
wet-nurse, and if that cannot be done,
the next best thing is to have a repu
table physician—one who has studied
the constitutions of many different
babies—prescribe for her offspring.
Physicians have many formulas for
modifying cow’s milk and making it
suitable to babies of different ages
nnd of different strengths. The sub-
ject of artificial feeding at the teeth
ing age can not be studied too care
fully, for the mortality of infants at
this stage of life is too great to be
considered lightly. Many a little
child, who was unable to defend itself
has been sent to an untimely grave
simply because its mother through
pride and'ignorance has given it solid
food before its little organs were
strong onough to digest it.

ATLANTA’S POOR SLEEPING
OUTINTHEOPfeta
Atlanta, Ga. f June.—-Hot.weather
in! Atlanta has driven the people in
the poor districts of the city to sleep
on cots and pallets outdoors under the
stars, which is the only place they
can rest in comfort, i
New York’s outdoor sleepers are
famous the world over, in certain
quarters the people sleeping on the
sidewalks by the hundred, while sight
seers step on their toes in their rounds
through the slums.
Atlanta’s slum dwellers haven’t
quite reached the point where they
sleep on the sidewalks, but the negroes
along Decatur street and other fa
mous darktown thoroughfares have a
scheme that’s just as cool, if not a
little cooler.
They go into the alleys and court
yards in the rear of the tenements
be made thoroughly to acquaint the* w ^ ere they live, and there they stretch
themselves upon the naked ground,
fold their coats and put underneath
their heads for pillows. The man of
comfortable circumstances who goes
to bed on a sleeping porch is not one
whit cooler or more comfortable.

Water Work Stock Frequently
It would be a great misfortune for
instance, if the increased rates on
live stock should go into effect just
at a time when we are endeavoring
to encourage this industry as one of
our chief hopes on off-setting the
blighting effects of the boll weevil,
which has already become active in
the State. It is beyond my compre
hension as to what the railroads can
mean by demanding rates that will se
riously injure and cripple an indus

that to where he has the beat end of
the bargain. The city ban has too
long been able to buy your products
at hit. prices. It to through a well or

propose ultimately to overcome any
unfairness arising out of .this condi

to find where the market for a partic

e nd not to glut one market with more
of any crop than It can consume.
Germany and other foreign coun
tries have long since done this, and
they have done it very much upon the
plan which the commissioners of ag
riculture propose to follow. Their
plan begins with organized local units,
or just auch an organization as you
would have in your militia district
Next comes the county organization,
with its regular bureau and secretary
in charge. State organization follows
this, and all are finally affiliated in the
great national organization which,
