MOTOR CARS FOR THE SOUTHERN TO BE PUT ON THIS DIVISION Reliably Reported That Order Has Been Given For Three Gasoline Mo tor Cars, One to Be Used Between Atlanta And Jackson It is given out from what ap pears to be reliable sources that the Southern Railway Company has placed an order for three gasoline motor cars, one of which will be used between Atlanta and Jackson. The Southern is now using mo tor cars between Spartanburg and Charlotte and it is said this service will be tried out in this territory. According to the tip received here the company will use two of the motor cars be tween Atlanta and Gainesville and one of the cars between Atlanta and Jackson, the service probably extending as far as Juliette. The information received here is to the effect that the order for the cars has already been placed. If this report is true, and it is believed it is, it means that this division of the Southern will have the most modern and up to date service to be had. COL. WISE ENTERS CONGRESS RACE FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE Brilliant Young Prosecu ting Attorney of Flint Circuit Enters Political Ring And Will Make A Hard Fight For Congres sional Honors The announcement of Hon. J. W. Wise, of Fayetteville, solici tor general of the Flint circuit, for congress from the Sixth dis trict is found in this issue. It has been reported for some time that Mr. Wise would be a candidate, and his formal an nouncement does not come as a surprise, though it does occasion wide interest. Mr. Wise is one of the most prominent public men in the State and as solicitor general of this circuit is well and favorablv known to the people of this district He formerly served in the legislature from Fayette county and made a most enviable record. He has thous ands of friends throughout the twelve counties of the district and is sure to make a hard fight for the place he seeks at the hands of the voters. ► Hon. C. L. Bartlett incumbent and Hon. J. R. Cooper, both of Macon, have already for congress from the Sixth. The entry of Colonel Wise into the race insures a hard fight rendered so from the fact that all of the candidates are able and popular men and strong with the people of the district FEEDING CHILDREN SIOULDJE TAUGHT Georgia State Board of Health Stress es Importance of Proper Food In Prevention of Disease. Atlanta, Ga., June 25. — (Special.)— The subject of the proper feeding of young children should b© an Impera tive part of the curriculum of every college and training school where young women are taught, says the Georgia State Board of Health. There Is no knowledge more essential to the proper preservation of the race, the board points out, because proper feed ing not only prevents diseases that are often fatal, but puts the child in a healthy condition, enabling it the better to withstand disease attacks. It Is In summer that the greatest amount of care must be exercised in feeding the child, because it is in hot weather that the greater number of children die as the result of some form of bowel trouble due to improper feeding which may be of several kinds. The child may have the wrong food; the quality may b too strong for its age, or it may b© given too much food. Mothers should always nurse their children where they possibly can, for the mother's milk Is a perfect food for the child up to nine or ten months. Unfortunately, however, more moth ers than formerly are unable to nurse their children, and sometimes the mother’s milk does not agree with the child; so that more frequent re sort must be had to artificial feeding for which the best thing obtainable is modified cow’s milk given from a bot tle. Artificial foods offered in the market may seem to do well for a time, but often lead to troubles indi cated in the beginning by peevishness and fretfulness of the child. In artificial feeding select the milk from a good, healthy cow, preferably one of the ordinary mixed breeds, as that of the blooded Jerseys and Al derneys is generally too rich in fats. Still the use of the whole milk would give a much less percentage of fats than is needed, and for this reason modified for feeding infants should be made from the upper third of the milk after it has been allowed to Btand in the refrigerator not less than four hours. Thus there is used a larger proportion of the cream with a less amount of the other constituents. This then must be diluted with boiled water in order to make the amount of albuminous material given the child more nearly approximate that of mother’s milk, and a small amount of lime water should be added in or der to neutralize the excessive acid- ity. Tables have been prepared showing just what proportions of this upper third of the milk, containing ten per cent, of fat, boiled water and lime water should be used in making the modified milk suitable for children’s food. It is better that these propor tions be secured from a physician, preferably one who has made a spe cial study of the treatment of chil dren. The utmost care should always be used in handling the milk from which this food is to be prepared, and when prepared it should be sealed and re turned to the refrigerator where it should be kept until required for feed ing. It Is best not to use milk which has been in the refrigerator more than twenty-four hours, or at most forty-eight hours, and then only if kept at proper temperature. The mod ified milk should be poured direct from the receptacle in which it is kept into the feeding bottle, and the latter should be placed in warm wa ter until the milk is “milk-warm” when it is ready to be given to the child. Cleanliness in everything connect ed with the feeding of the child is of the utmost importance. Bottles and nipples should be bbiled after using and then kept in a saturated solution of boracic acid. The nipple, after be ing cleansed should come into con tact with nothing but the infant’s mouth. Bottles with no neck are pre ferable because they can be more easily cleansed. During very warm weather modi fied milk made from the upper third of the milk may be found too strong, and it is well to reduce the amount of fat by using the whole milk in stead of the richer portion, r 'nis pre caution should always be taken in cases where children have acute dis eases, and the total quantity taken should be less than under ordinary circumstances. The amount of food given should always be reduced in very hot weath er, even in the case of very healthy children. Often when a child is fret ful In hot weather, it Is only thirsty, and mothers often make the mistake of thinking it hungry and giving more food, whereas the quantity of food should be diminished and more water given. Pasteurized milk is often given dur ing epidemics of bowel troubles and fever, and peptonized mflk is some times given children who fail to thrive where all other precautions have been taken. These should be prepared and given only by the di recUon of a physician. After the first year as the child is weaned other food should be gradu ally added. It should still consist tersely of milk to which sometime la- BUTTS COUNTY PROGRESS.

The rains of last week appear to have been general over the en tire state and much complaint has been heard. The rains gave grass anew lease on life and far mers have to work overtime to hold down the pesky and fast growing General Green. The cold winds also damaged eotton materially and gave the young staple a serious set back. But with fair and hot weather for a few days the outlook will be brighter than it has been this season.
