Newspaper Page TextPAGE FOUR FRANCE ENACTING PEACE MIRACLE Facts Belie Report Her People are Not Working NEW YORK, August 30 —France’s “victory of peace” in her reconstruc-; tion “nails the lie that her people j are not working,” Herbert S. Hous-[ ton, New York publisher, declares after a period of research at Paris whence he recently returned. Offering statistics showing remark able rehabilitation in former devas tated regions, where Gerarnn divis ions wrought havoc in industrial, farming and mining sections, Mr Houston characterizes the recovery of the French people as another “mir acle of the Marne.” In an article in the current issue of World’s Work he says: With government support, includ ing loans totalling 9,609,082,916 francs for agricultural and industrial reconstruction in “devastated depart ment,” the French people have re opened 5,345 out of 6,445 schools existant before the war; built or re built 28,200 temporary wooden and 16,800 permanent dwellings, and erected 28,500 wooden barracks to replace houses destroyed; cleared 3,- 339000 hectares (a hectare is about 2 1-2 acres) out of 3,950,000 of barb ed wire and trenches; employed 1,500 men pumping out and cleaning up flooded mines; rebuilt 475 out of 600 railroad bridges, with 80 more in course of construction; reopened vir tually all of the 1,100 kilometers of canals destroyed and rebuilt 136 wharves and built 28 new ones. “Today, less than two years from the Armistice, the population of the invaded regions has grown from less than 2,000,000 to more than 4,000,- 000 approximately three-quarters of the pre-war population,” Mr. Houston says, adding that the return was “not that of the prodigal son.” American committees have done much to help France rebuild, Mr. Houston declares, adding that intro duction of farming machienry to the French peasant probably was Ameri ca’s best contribution. “As a result to a considerable de gree of this mechanical assistance, greatly increasing producing power of the fewer workers, the devastated regions in 1920 will raise enough crops for food,” he predicts. On the industrial reconstruction of France, Mr. Houston asserts that 300,000 workers now are employed in French mills and 2,627 of the 3,- 508 factories destroyed in the war have resumed production. During the war the destruction in mill cen ters was very great, 80 per. cent of the textile mills in Lille having been destroyed; all 40 mills in Armentie- Tes wiped out; in Fourmies only 50,- 000 bobbins remained out of 700,- 000 and Roubaix and Turcoing “had the same degree of destruction.” 1 So it was throughout the whole industrial region of the north, the great workshop of France,” Mr. Houston says. “The tale of rebuild ing, now to be added to Franchmen’s’ annals, will always be a chapter ofj achievement, almost as important and vital as the defense against the German invasion.” By 1922, Mr. Houston asserts, France hopes to have her mines pro ducing again, with about 8,000 min ers working where 17,0000 labored before the war. Within five or six years after that she expects to be working up to three-quarters of be fore-the-war production. “The lie that France is not at work should be seared on the lips of everyone who utters it” writes! Mr. Houston. “If she is not at work,! how can she be reclaiming her fields, rebuilding her roads and houses and factories and town, and re-establish ing the shattered life over one-fifth of her territory? That she is doing that, anyone can see who visits France or who takes the small trouble to look up the facts. And she is do ing it before she has received the indemnity pledged to her by the peace treaty and re-pledged again and again by everyone of her allies.” Baby’s Food. The high mortality of infants (one out of three) is due very largely to the fact that the baby cannot select its own food, as does the adult, but must take what is given it. Often the food is inferior in quality, or even positively poisonius. How can the mother tell whether the baby’s food is right? One way is to watch the actions. If they are regular and natural and the baby is gaining in weight, the food is all right. Constipation and diarrhoea both indicate indigestion and should have immediate atten tion. To correct indigestion and regu late the stomach and bowels the baby specialists have perfected a gentle laxative and regulator called “Baby Ease” laxative, which the mother may obtain, with full directions, at any drug store. “Baby Ease” is an invaluable aid to the baby’s health, and no mother should be without it for emergencies. Do not use the strong and irritat ing laxatives such as are commonly used, nor anything containing opiates or powerful drugs. They irritate the delicate organs and lead to chronic indigestion and constipation. “Baby Ease” laxative is a corrective and regulator as well as a gentle laxa tive, and will promptly and perma nently correct indigestion, colic, diarrhoea and constipation. The mother should then look carefully to the purity, freshness and whole someness of the baby’s food, the cleanliness of the bottles, etc., and ehould consult the physician if the child does not steadily gain in weight adv Department Conducted by Mrs. R. C. Moran, residence 112 East Church Street; Phone 620. NASSAR-ATTYAH Os cordial interest to a number of friends in Americus, was the mar riage. yesterday at 1:00 o’clock at the home of the groom’s mother on Prince street Miss Rosa Nassar and Mitchell Attyah. Dr. Carl W. Minor, pastor of First Baptist church, read the simple service which united them, and immediately following a reception was held, which was unique in every detail, being served in the true Syrian manner and custom. The refreshments consisted of sev en courses, all being ordered from New York especially for the mar riage feast, and some of them com ing direct from Syria, the land of the bride’s birth. One course was par ticularly beautiful and delicious—a rose nunch, which was so delicately flavored with the fragrance of roses as to be revealed in the sipping of it. The more substantial courses were all beautifully prepared and served. The bride wore a handsome white georgette dress, heavily beaded and was a charming picture of bru nette loveliness in her bridal cos tume. Immediately following the re ception Mr. and Mrs. Attyah left for Macon and Atlanta to spend several days visiting friends and relatives, after which they will be at home with his mother on Prince street. Mrs. Attyah has been in Americus only about a month, having been en gaged to Mr. Attyah before her ar rival, the wedding of "esterday con summating a pretty romance begun in their native land. Mr. Attyah is one of the substantial Syrian mer chants of Americus and is well known for his benevolence and church activities. He is a young man of splendid oualities, and his friends will welcome his bride into their cir cles. , * •' * ATTEND GOLDEN RECEPTION. Mr. and Mrs. J. E.

Freezing New Method Os Preserving Fruit WASHINGTON. Aug. 30—Fresh berries and cherries in midwinter are possible, the experts of the Depart ment of Agriculture announce after extensive experiments. Successful methods of storing fruits and berries in frozen condition have been dem onstrated and, the government ex perts say, these should be more fully utilized in relieving the market of surplus receipts of highly perishable fruits, while in sound, edible condi tion. Thev declare that preservation by freezing is cheaper than canning, especially, when tin containers are costly, as at present, and an import ant industry of steady development is looked for in this line. Fruit held at proper temperature, the experts say, has a more natural flavor than when canned or dried and is fullv as satisfactory as fresh fruit is superior to canned and dried fruit in making ice creams and sherbets, and for cooking in the form of pies, preserves, tellies, and other desserts and confections. Strawberries, red and black rasp berries. blackberries, loganberries, blueberries, gooseberries, currants, and sour cherries have been found to keep successfully after being fro zen. Berries can be frozen in the crates in, which marketed in temper atures from 10 degrees Fahrenheidt to zero and withdrawn from cold storage when wanted. The fruits be- I come waterlogged when taken out adn collapse, therefore must be used ; immediately. Government experts • say, however, that they retain their natural flavor and in every way are comparable to the best fresh prod ucts.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER LIVED PRIMITIVE LIFE IN FLORIDA Americus Family Back From Interesting, Enjoyable Trip Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Tyson and children who have been spending the past three weeks in Flordia on a camping trip, returned to Americus Saturday evening. An entire camping outfit was attached to the automo bile in which they traveled, and near ly the entire time was spent out in the open. At Newport Springs, where I they remained a week, unusual con ditions were found. Not a store was to be seen, the nearest commissary being four miles, and the next near est store six miles. Not a soft drink was to be had for love or money, the reason advanced for this being that I people who go to the springs do so for the benefit to be derived, and if [ soft drinks are obtainable, the med icinal water will be left alone. Bread, the staff of life, could not even be procured, and the primitive way of cooking hoe-cake on the camp fire was the only means of securing something to go with the abundance of fish. What Newport lacks in bread fa cilities it makes up in pool enjoy ment, the concrete basin being fifty feet wide by three hundred feet long i giving ample space to accommodate 1 any number of bathers at once. The water in-the pool is always ! fresh, as a sulphur spring runs in at the upper end of the pool and ' out at the lower end, thusf urnish ' ing a fresh stream of water con stantly in the pool. The owner of Newport has 7,000 acres of timber land around Newport which is filled with magnificent tur , pentine woods. The land about the gulf coast is very thinly populated. The farm I houses are often ten to fifteen miles i apart, and the land very poorly till ed. Fish being abundant, this is the principal source of food. Eggs, veg etables and fresh meat are not to be had after leaving Tallahassee, the Tysons said, and notwithstanding the miles and miles of acres filled with cattle for marketing purposes, these are not killed for the local markets. One week was spent at Panacea Springs, which was a most delightful outing, while three days were en joyed at Lake Jackson. Georgia is to be doubly apprecia ted they said, after having visited the west coast of Florida. Here are abundant crops, the verdant pastures are filled with cattle and hogs, the For Re-Electron - as’" -- ■ Judge of the Court of Appeals CHARLES W.
