Hie best service a housewife can
give during the next few months is
to keep the baby and the family's
food protected from the flies.
Everybody is busy it is true, and
labor is difficult to get, but there
should be no diminution of the forces
for sanitation in the town that have
hitherto been employed. On the
contrary, efforts along this line should
be intensified, for never before has
the conservation of health seemed so
important.
SAVING THE POTATO
Announcement is made elsewhere
in this issue that an expert from the
State College will be in this county
on the 11th of this month for the
purpose of instructing sweet potato
growers in the methods of potato
preservation. The coming of this
special agent should enlist widespread
interest among the farmers. Practi
cally every farmer in the county is
a potato grower on a small acale at
least The majority of these have
had the misfortune at some time to
lose a part of their crops after they
had been harvested because of im
proper housing and any method that
promises a discontinuance of .‘this
loss will surely invite the interest of
all concerned.
The potato has excellent food value
' its principal virtue being the large
nmbunt of starch it contains. It is
deficient in proteids and is therefore
most desirable as a food when used in
conjunction with meats and nitrogen-
uous vegetables. Its growth is well
adapted to this climate, great yields
beiilg obtained with comparatively
little expenditure of time or money.
This is no time for anything of
value as a human food, that can be
produced so easily, to be wasted for
lack of proper storage. The small
initial expense necessary for preserv
ing this crop would be saved in
short time by the loss prevented.
exceptions, these victims of battle
can be restored to self-support. !
The staggering cost .of maintain
ing such a multitude at State expense
has forced society to consider ways
and'means of applying theif remain
ing efficiency to suitable tasks.
We repudiate the callous convic
tion of recent pasta, that amputa
tion cuts off opportunity; we dissent
from thee rod prejudice which hith
erto sequestered the blind in depress
ing asylums, or the communal un
economy which sentenced them to the
beggars’ hand-organ and tin cup.
All that is done with, and with it
must go unworthy, primitive abhor
rence and debasing pity.
We’re going to put these people
where they belong; where their
sound qnergies and sturdy intelli
gence can be turned to mutually prof
itable account.
A missing foot is not a drawback
for a desk responsibility. One hand
or two plays no part in the exercise
of superintendence. Imaginatioii
needs no eyes; it has a thousand.
There are few heights prohibited to
those who can find ideas in the dark.
The vital reconstruction is not for
the surgeons—they’ll do their bit,
never fear.
We, the stay-at-homes, the sons
and brothers of scarred and marred
men sacrificing ' heir persons, writhing
in agony for our sakes—mangled in
defense of our wealths and liberties
holding the gate against barbar
ian^—we must be reconstructed, too
must reconstruct our impulses—
must lose the Tarpeian Rock altitude
toward the crippled—must learn to
measure thew orth of a fellow by his
enterprise and capacity and give him
the preference at every post and in
every engagements—if he can deliver
the goods.
A civilization that won’t do its duty
by its defenders isn’t worth fighting
for—prepare to prove that this one

Tired Bli the time;

Back aches; head aches,
Your kidneys are probably weaken

You should help them at their work.
Let one who knows tell you how.
Mrs. Sarah Davis, R. F. D. No. 3,
Ashburn, Ga., says: “I had kidney
trouble and my back' ached so I could
hardly turn over in bed. Hornings
I felt tired and dull. I often had to
stop and rest my back and I couldn’t
get any relief day or night. I had
severe headaches and didn’t feel like
doing anything. I tried different
remedies but didn’t get relief. Doan’s
Kidney Pills were recommended to me
and I started, to use them according
to directions. Doan’s soon freed me
of the aches and pains and made me
feel better than I had for years.”

PREPAREDNESS—AFTER THE
WAR
America was slow to wake up to a
realization of the necessity of prepar
edness for war, in fact so dilatory
was she, the real preparation is even
now, after boing at war for more than
a year, just fairly under way. It is
true that she is making great strides
now, but even this can not atone for
the mistake of failing to get the na
tion in a state of preparedness while
there was yet time and before it be
came necessary to take a hand in the
great fight. But this is past and it does
not 'behoove anyone to waste time
recalling mistakes that cannot bo cor
rected, the more proper course in
this case being to apply themselves
more energetically to the splendid
work of preparation that is now in
progress. And now with apparently
every force marshaled and every en
ergy concentrated upon this prepara
tion for war it would seem that thero
is no time for anything else, but some
how the nation’s vision is broadening
and even now plnns arc in the form'
ing for post-war preparedness. This
war will not last always and the dif
ficulties that are going to come with
the reconstruction days will be quite
as serious, in many instances as
some of these of the present. It is
well that the embryonic work in the
rehabilitation program should begin
now and better still that the plan pri
marily provides for the reconstruction
of our human forces, more specially,
the preparation of the men who will
come out of the war with physical de
ficiencies, for lives of usefulness and
independence and consequently con
tentment.
In this connection the following ex
cerpt from an article appearing in
the first issue of Carry On,, a maga-
zine that it being sent out from the
office of the Surgeon General, U. S.
A, and devoted to this very worthy
cause—the rehabilitation of crippled
and disabled men, is of vital interest:
