* Clean Hands
~Di%ease germs lead a hand to mouth
existence. olf the human race would
learn to keep theh unwashed hand
away from the mouth many human
diseases: wonld-be greatly diminished.
We handle infectious matter more or
less . constantly .and we continually
carry the hands to the mouth. If the
hand has recently been in contact
with infectious matter the germs of
disease may) in this way be introduced
into the body. Many persons wet their
fingers with saliva before counting
money, turning the pages of a book,
of performing similar acts. In this
case the process is reversed, the in
féction being carried to the object han
dled, there to await carriage to the
mflffiz‘ol some other careless pérsdon.
In view of these facts the U. S. Pub
lic Health Service has formulated the
foggv’;’ffig simple rules of personal gy
gien® ‘and recommends their adoption
by§W person in the United States.
Wash the hands immediately before
eating, before handling, preparing or
serving food, after using the toilet, af
ter attending the sick, and after hand-
Hng anything dirty.

HOUSE APPROPRIATES
$§200,000 FOR ASYLUM
Atlanta, Aug. 10.—The House of Rep
resentatives yesterday afternoon pass
ed a bill appropriating $200,000 {for
new buildings at the state insane
wsylum’ at Milledgeville. The asylum
trustees asked for $300,000, but the
appropriations committee of the house
cut the amount to $200,000.
In the course of the discussion of
the bill Representative Shuptrine, of
Chatham county, opposed the hill on
the ground that the asylum is over
loaded with patients who are not en
titled to treatment because they are
not insane. He said the legislature
should investigate the sanitarium in
stead of appropriating large sums of
money for new buildings.
Speaker W. H. Burwell, who has
taken the floor only a few times dur

bill.

| Clubs for Negroes '
Washington, Aug. 12.—T0 help ne
gro boys become practical farmers,
and to assist negro girls in becoming
competent housewivas, the 1. S. De
partment of Agriculture, in coopera
tion with the state colleges, is organ
izing throughout the south, Farm Ma
kers' Clubs for rural negro children.
This activity, begun experimentally
last year by the office of Extension
work, south, has grown rapidly, and
already is thoroughly organized lin
virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Mis
sissippi. The work also is being car
ried on to some extent in each of the
other southern states. ;
The chicf object of these clubs is
to encourage negro farmers, particul
arly in the cotton sections, to raise
some food instead of devoting their
entire attention to a single crop.
In the clubs for boys, the typical
plan is to encourage and help the mem
bers to use an acre, one-half of which
is devoted to corn, one-fourth to pota
toes, and one-fourth to peanuts. This
teaches a desirable rotation, and at
the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption, and
two that are useful for cattle or hogs.
The girl members of these clubs re
ceive instruction in gardening, can
ning, cooking, and housekeeping.
According to reports, the county
superintendents of schools and teach
ers of negro elementary schools are
supporting the work actively, and
state agricultural colleges and the
technical schools established for the
race are active cooperators in the lar
ger phases of the work.
GORIZIA FALLS AFTER
VIOLENT FIGHTING
Paris, Aug. 10.—"“The city of Gor‘-
zia was virtually in our possession af
ter the evening of Aug. 8 when the for
tifications west of the city were taken
by assault. by the third army and our
forces crossed the Isonzo, mnotwith
standing the destruction of bridges by
the enemy,” says a semi-official state
ment forwarded from Rome by the Ha
vas agency.
“Our advance attack on the main
bridge began Aug. 6, so that in a
battle of three days the most impor
tant fortified position on the Isonzo
front fell into our hands. It was car
ried as the result of one of the most
violent attacked on a fortified postion
that has taken place in the European
war. It should be remembered that
Austria had given particular attention
to the fortifications of Gorizia which
owingi to the difficult nature of the
ground and.the manner in which the
‘Height§™fidd been” fortified, were Te
garded as impregnable.”
MERCHANT SUBMARINE
REPORTED OFF CAPES
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 11.—Reports that
the German submarine Bremen, sis
ter ship of the Deutschland, is off the
Virginia capes and will pass into
Hampton Roads within the next
twenty-four hours, were current here

Eastern Forwarding Company, agents
of the submarine line.
Qne rumor that gained wide circu
lations and credence was that the

threatening and offers an excellent op
‘portunit,y, it was pointed out, for the
isubmarine to elude the allied cruisers
off the capes. \
