WHAT IS MALNUTRITION?
SIGN’S AND SYMPTOMS
OF MALNUTRITION
What i- malnutrition? It is, in fact,
not a disease at all, bbt, as Dr. George
Newman, chief medical officer of the
board of education (England and
ales), ( 1 ) well expresses it, “a low
condition of health and body substance,
it is measureable not only by height,
"eight and robustness, but by many
other signs and symptoms.” A descrip¬
tion of these “signs and symptoms ’
found in the undernourished child will
furnish a better idea of the meaning of
‘he term than can any attempt at for
mal definition.

THE COVI
ARGUES THAT BUSINESS
MUST START ON LOW GEAR
AND PICK UP GRADUALLY
Business, like an automobile, has
been running on high gear for the past
thiee years; and now, all of a sudden,
the automobile has stopped for lack of
gasoline. During the past few months
,we have been cleaning out the tank
and refilling it with gasoline. Now we
are about ready to start up again.
But when the car stopped we were in
high gear and we have not yet shifted,
says Roger W. Babson in Forbes’s
Magazine, New York. In starting the
car again, is it advisable to attempt to
start on high gear, or is it better to
put the car first into low gear? Surely
the sensible way is to start low, move
to second and then into high. At¬
tempting to start on high will inevita
bly stall the engine.
Yet we are trying to start business
on high, just where it stopped. The
railroads want to get business back at
the old high rates, or have no business
at all; labor prefers to be idle for
months rather than have wages cut.
GOV. HARDWICK AND
THE INCOME TAX
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4—Goveronr Hard¬
wick's sincere tilrpose to solve the fi¬
nancial problems of the state has been
and in other sections of the state and
widely praised by business men here
they have in many instances indicated
a willingness to assist him, although
strong opposition has been shown to the
income tax bill in its present form.
There has been warm commendation of
the governor for his determination to
hold appropriations within the limit of
the state’s revenue.
The opposition to the income tax bill
took definite shape when the senate
adopted a resolution to refer it to a
committee of fifteen from the senate ami
house to be reported upon at the 1922
session. The constitutional amendment
provided in the bill cannot be voted up¬
on anyway until September, 1922, and
the same legislature will meet again be¬
fore that time.
Governor Hardwick is undoubtedly a
strong advocate of the income tax, and
“The fairest, most reasonable and just
in a statement to this newspaper cor¬
respondent he said:
method of taxation is the income tax.
,
Its most important advantage is that it
taxes invisible property and removes
the burden which visible property, real
estate and other things has carried for
so many years.”

THE CRIME OF WAR
The crime of war is brought forcibly to our attention by the
recent revised compilation of Germany’s losses during the great
world war. Germany lost 1,792,308 killed, and 4,240,874 wounded, not i i
cluding 200,000 men reported missing. This by no means represents the
great total of Germany's casualties. It does not include the women
and children, or the old men. non-combattants, yho died- from under¬
nourishment and its consequent efis.-as. s. It does not include the losses
in the lowering birth-rate-or the much greater loss that Germany will
suffer during future ages, as the result of the reduced vitality of her
people. Her strong men have been killed. Those who should have
been fathers of robust sons and daughters have been sacrificed, and a
weaker element left to real nisti the losses of war, and Germany an 1
every other nation that parti ipated in that great international crime
will suffer for many genet.- : -ms because of the loss of vitality.
The war-lord who brought this great catastrophe upon the world
are yet alive; but the innocent victims of their great crime have passed
out forever.
“War is hell,” but its :-. i rmath is a desolation that does not dis¬
appear with the rebuilding cities, the restoration of farms and vil¬
lages, or the leveling of fortifications. The life-blood of the nation has
been impoverished; its percentage of diseased units has been increased,
and the nation is menaced with decadence. Neither the shouts of vic¬
tory or the wailings of defeat can wipe away the stain of this a'.vful;
crime, and for generations men and women yet unborn must suffer
tlie consequences of the foiley of war, that takes the strongest, the
brightest and the best of a nation’s human energy for cannon fodder.

(OTTON ACREAGE
CUT 28 PER CENT
Washington — An unprecidented
change in the ratio of acreage devoted
to the leading crops in the cotton belt
has been shown this year according
to the department of agriculture
which declares that almost .eleven mil¬
lion acres has been cut from cotton,
rice and tobacco acreages and that
slightly less than two-thirds of this
has been put in wheat, corn, oats, hav,
potatoes and other crops. A large part
of the remainder has gone to pasture
O! lying idle.
The net reduction still leaves a largo
acreage in cultivation, however, than
before the war. The cotton acreage has
been reduced twenty-eight percent,
the department says, the rice acreage,
32 percent. The situation is due to un¬
satisfactory prices received for the
crops last year the department ex¬
plained.
SUNDAY’ WAS HOTTEST DAY
At 4 p. m. Sunday the official ther¬

The mercury climbed from 90 degrees
ut noon to 96 between 3 and 4 o’clock,
and descended again to 92 degrees at
7 p. m.
Monday began with the promise of
more heat. The thermometer at 7 a. m.
registered 80 degrees, an unusually
high mark for that hour.
The entire city strove Sunday to find
a breath of cool air. The parks were
crowded all day and the swimming
pools were thronged. Those lucky per¬
sons with automobiles drove all day¬
long and the golfers were fewer than

The Salem Woman's Club yvas happi¬
ly inspired to hold its regular, meeting
of Wednesdays, July 27, in the guise of
a picnic at Salem Camp Ground, and
a most enjoyable occasion yvas the re¬
sult.
Nearly a hundred persons were pres¬

ment of the occasion.
The dinner yvas delicious, beautiful
and bountiful, and served as it yvas
with the graceful hospitality- of these
fine, yvhole-souled people made an ex¬
perience to be remembered.
After dinner the lively talk and
merry stqnts were suggestive of high
class vaudeville. Mr. W. M. Boyd de¬
lighted everyone yvith his diverting
description of “The Milking Machine”
and “The Early Riser.” Mrs. Hard¬
wick and Mrs. Jeff Ramsey rendered
effectively some ever delightful juven¬
ile classics. A visitor gave a little
knock-kneed, pigeon-toed darky’s in¬
terpretation of “Twinkle Little Star."
gome original verses were presented,
and merry anecdotes galore.
Jolly hours spent in this yvay were
followed by a feast of melons, after
which tile club went into executive

of business transacted were the decis¬
ion to join the County Federation and
the election of Mrs. Jeff Ramsey as

BIG DECLINE IN
CROP CONDITION
IN PAST MONTH
Damage From Boll Weevil is Blamed
by the Government’s Report. Loss
in Newly Invaded Section of Cotton
Belt YVas Particularly Heavy.
Washington, Aug. 1—Decline of the
cotton crop during July resulted in a
reduction of 230,000 bales in the pro¬
duction forecast issued today by the
department of agriculture, a to-tal of
8,203,000 bales being estimated. The
condition of file crop declined 4.5
points.
•Summarizing conditions the depart¬
ment said: “Cotton suffered more than
usual decline duringJuly, being dam¬
aged particularly by boll weevils, es¬
pecially in newly invaded regions of
South Carolina, eastern Georgia, south¬
ern eastern Oklahoma and southern
Arkansas. Damage, throughout the
belt has been heavy. In many sections
it promises to take all new growth.”
Price Goes Up.
New Orleans, Aug. 1—The lowest
conditions report on growing cotton
crop ever made for July 25, which was
64.7 per cent and forecast of smallest
crop in quarter of a century, resulted
in bulge in the price of cotton of $3
per hale and more here today.
BUY FROM YOUR
HOME MERCHANT
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 4—Notwithstanding
an inevitable mid summer lull, business
is considered fundamentally sounder
now than for many seasons past, and
hence more truly promising, according
to reports of business agencies here.
“We have far to go, be it admitted,
ere conditions become duly prosperous;
and at this phase of a season which in
the best of years is inactive, it may
take a bit of yvhistling to keep one’s
courage up,” says one Atlanta newspa¬
per. “But after all, it is not a qormal
state, even though lethargic for the
nonce, preferably- to one of extreme-’and
artificial tension. From such tension and
uncertainty we have passed to ways
that are steady and firm and that lead,
albeit it slowly, to good times."
According to local and out-of-town
merchants who are constantly- flocking
to the city on business, right no v
would be a good time for starting a
campaign of “Buying at Home." The
matter, it is pointed out, is one which
affects in a vital way the business
progress of any city. It is a subject in
yvhich every town and city) in Georgia
and throughout the South is Interested,
because, it is argued, it is “home buy¬
ing” that helps to build up the commu¬
nity- in which the buying.
Home buying also, it is pointed out,
is the personal business of every person
in the town in which he lives. The home
merchant, say business men here, is en¬
titled to first consideration for he is a
part of a city’s business life, owns prop¬
erty and pays rent there, pays taxis
that help to keep his town going, helps
to suport its schools and churches, and,
as one merchant puts it, “is your neigh¬
bor and friend.”
When any movement is inaugurated
yvhich requires the financial support of
the citizens of any town, the home mer¬
chant is one of the first called upon to
help, and he never fails to respond to
the call. When a time comes that credit
accommodations are needed, the people
of a town do not come to Atlanta or
other large cities of the state, or to
mail order houses in New York or Chi¬
cago, for credit, but to the home mer
’chant, yvho, if he does a credit business
at all, extends the coursety.
‘The safe and sane and the patriotic
way to buy is to buy of the home mer¬
chant, thus helping your home town
and geting in the long run better satis¬
faction,” said an out-of toyvn merchant
in discussing the subject here today.
