AMERICAN SOLDIERS AT
FRONT NOW PRINT A PAPER
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Septem
ber 19. —So far as is known it has re
i mained for the Sixty-Third Ambulance
Section of the Ameriican Red Cross
|to be the first to distinguish itself by
issuing a genuine, regular newspaper.
The paper has considerably less than
a million-a-day ciruclation but it is
a God-send to the members of “Soix
ante Trois.” which it calls itself.
| The first issue of "Soixante Trois” is
.strictly handmade and is produced by
(a manifolding process. Nearly all the
section comprises the editorial staff,
[and about ninety per cent of this staff
'has devoted itself to humorous efforts.
I The "Own-Lee” Laundry company is
I the most liberaj advertiser with a lur
'iJ page invoking everyone to "fall in
’line” and “follow the example of the
[cook who washed her face in the dish
ipan.”
Then there is a "tonsorial parlor”
that invites the readers to “ come in
and enjoy the show” —which the ad
[vertisement continues includes “ mi
croscopic animals contributed'by our
patrons.”
[ There is a bit of "poetry” or two,
also a couple of rough sketches, and
I four pages of reading matter, includ
ing “Personalities” and a “Dairy of our
Own Samuel Pepys.” News as it or
dinarily conceived is conspicuous by
[its absence, but theSoixante Trois is
chock full of fun whch is, perhaps,
just as welcome as news to the mem
bers of the section.
HEALTH FAITS.
More than 1,400,0000 death occur in
the United States annually.
It is pretty accurately determined'
;that at least 400,000 of these deaths
are preventable. [■
Hundreds of thousands of people!
become physical and mental bank-1
irepts and die prematurely because of,
dissipation in many forms, vicious j
habits, unsanitary surroundings and
the many incorrect methods of living, 1
due to ignorance and willfulness.
Doctors, health workers, and statis-i
ticans are aimed at the increasing j
death rate from chronic degenrative
'diseases in this country.
Since 1890 the death rate from these
diseases has increased’" 45 per cent, j
Dver4oo,ooo Americans die annually |
from disaeses of the heart, arteries
and kidneys, which is more than three
times as many deaths as from tuber
culosos, as great as that toll —over
130,000 deaths a year.
Periodical physical examinations are
ow considered the most effective
means of detecting and preventing
■ these insidious diseases.
[ Diabetes is not considered a disease, 1
j xactly, but in a certain sense, a,
I symptom It runs in some families
and, in some cases, possibly, is inher-,
ted. Fat people are very prone to it. I
They, as well as others who inherit
tendency to diabetes, should have
their urine examined as often as twice j
a year.
Bright’s disease is a chronic affair
and may become such a serious hand-j
icap that it may. like diabetes, lead to
physical bankruptcy.
Probably the best way to prevent
diabetes or Bright’s disease is to keep
physically fit. This observation, how.
ever, applies equally to the necessity
of physical fitness to ward off and
contend with any disease, acute or
chronic, with which we may be threat
ened.
Regulated exercise, with freedom
from worry, mental excitement,
■ mental overwork are important fac
[tors in the prevention of diabetes and,
II > a lesser degree, perhaps, in the pfe
! ventton of Bright's disease.
I Periodical physical and urinary ex
aminations are the best means to de
fect these diseases and are needed as
well to get a line on other diseases,

How to Cure Sweet Potatoes
WASHINGTON, D C., Sept ilß.—,t
There is no mystery about building .!
a satisfactory storage house for sweet ( 1
potatoes. Southern farmers who are i
paying large prices for patented plans ;
and equipment alleged to provide the <
i only successful way of storing sweet [ <
' potatoes, are being defrauded. Special- i
lists of the United States Department I <
[of Agriculture whose attention recent-[>
Ily has been called to instances in J
j which farmers have paid as high as ’
$750 for sets of plans, do not
to brand such activities as pain hum-|
Ibu-gery. Plans c<! the houses that 1
I incorporate simple principles of stor
.age and common sense methods of con
.struction. and which have proved suc-
Ltssful by years of careful trial, are i
[furnished free by the Department of,*
Agriculture to any farmer who will ask t
O! them. 5
Because reports have been circu-1 <
lated in the South that storage housse I
recommended by the Department of 1
Agriculture are not satisfactory, it is i
believed necessary, now that the time
o provide adequate storage for the 1
coming harvest is at hand, to correct 1
.such statements. One man with plans ’
o sell has said that the shrinkage
o’ sweet potatoes stored in houses
designed the government specialists is >
from 16 to 20 per cent, while in houses
oi his is practically no
shrinkage. The fallacy of such claim.
, Department specialists point out, lies i
iu the fact that shrinkage is essen-1
efficiency. 1
Examination for military service
makes a startling and most shocking
showing of the physical unfitness for
the arduous duties of the soldier,
among the defects being narrow’
chests, flat feet, poor teeth, hammer
tees, heart impairments, defective
eyes, and impaired hearing, crippled
kidneys and stomachs not able to take
care of and master the regulation ,
army fare. ;
tial to good keeping of the potatoes.
Sweet potatoes stored in the type of
house recommended by the Depart
ment shrink from 8 to 10 per cent —
n weight, not bulk—by reason of
evaporation of surplus moisture. Prop
er curing of sweet potatoes means
getting rid of surplus moisture, and
the type of house which the special
ist suggest accomplishes this by corn-:
bmig the ordinary principles of good ;
ventilation with common sense meth-[
ods of construction.
Storage houses built according to!
plans suggested by the epartment of
Agriculture have been in use in every (
tate of the south for five or six years. 1
The Department has no knowledge of
failure in any house built an operated
strictly according to recommenda
t ons. Four years of investigation [
with one hundred houses under ob-!
cervatin showed that the average loss
by decay, after an average storage'
period of 124 days, was less than two I
and one-half per cent. In determin
ng this loss representatives of the
Department personally praded the po
tatoes in each house—a total of 228,-
000 bushels. In each case the potatoes
were harvested, stored and cared for
>y farmers. In the Department’s
own storage house at Arlington, Vir
ginia, sweet potatoes were stored in
October last year and removed the
latter part of june showed a loss of
less than one per cent.
[ Farmers intending to buhd storage

houses should write to the Depart
ment of Agriculture for Farmers’
’Bulletin 548, “'Storing and
ing Sweet Potatoes.” This bulletin
gives plans and lists of materials need
ed and also tells how to convert
buildings such as abandoned tenant
houses into storage quarters.
County agent W. J. Boyett has a sup
ply of these bulletins on hand at the
chamber of commerce. Call by and
get one.
