110 counties of the state, unless
thing is done to harness and
throughout Georgia the more

Insufficient power has been
ed in Georgia’s water-powers to
ate the factories and mills already
tablished in the state, according to
ures published by the United
government. In mentioning this
the League recalls that Department
Commerce reports show that:
Georgia suffered an actual loss <

plants, a net gain in 10 years of 11
new industries. During the same

California 4,083.
I® Georgia doomed to lose the

she to suffer another loss in

NO MOSQUITOES,
NO MALARIA
Now is the time to begin our fight
against chills and fever. There are
three methods of fighting malaria;
one is to get rid of the mosquitoes on
the farm, another to keep them screen¬
ed out of the house and the third is
to get rid of the malaria germs in the
blood.
• To get rid of mosquitoes one must
realize that mosquitoes breed only in
quiet water or damp ground. To have
none—
1. Clean up all damp spots.
2. Drain or oil all ditches where
pools of standing water may be.
3. Punch holes in discarded tin cans.
4. Allow no old crocks or dishes to
sit around the yard.
5. Cover rain barrels with two or
three tahlespoonfuls of kerosene o’
It smothers the wigglers and thus
prevents their becoming mosquitoes.
It does not injure the water for laun¬
dry purposes.
To keep mosquitoes out of the house
is important because the mosquito
that carries malaria does its work
mostly at night. It is a frail, silent
mosquito and likes to bite best in the
quiet of the night or under the table.
L Screen every window completely.
2. Screen every porch and door.
3. Screen every fireplace or Hue.
4. Have strong springs on the doors.
5. Use no mesh screen larger than
number 20.
6. Screens are cheaper than sick¬
ness.
7. Screens are cheaper than medi¬
cine.
To get rid of malaria germs in the
Hood different state boards of health
■.commend different amounts of qui¬
nine.
Oklahoma suggests the smallest
• mounts—5 grains twice daily for two
•onserutive days each week from
May 1 to December 1. The daily dose
for a child is one grain for every
three years of age.
North Carolina suggests five grains
t day. Where one has chills the fol¬
lowing is suggested:
Twenty grains for first four days
after chill; fifteen grains a day for the
next week, that is, through the elev¬
enth day; ten grains for the next two
weeks, that is, through the twenty
fifth day; and five grains a day until
frost. The disagreeable symptoms re¬
sulting from the use of the drug will
not be present after the fourth day,
except in very rare cases.—The Pro¬
gressive Parmer.
BILL TO PREVENT
CROSSING ACCIDENTS
Atlanta, Ga., June 21.—Plans for the
introduction of a bill in congress re¬
quiring all motor vehicles to come to
a full stop before crossing rialroad
tracks at public crossings have been
discussed by train service men and of¬
ficials of various roads, insurance
companies and prominent citizens of
Atlanta with Congressman W. D. Up¬
shaw at a meeting here.
“Such a bill, with the purpose of re¬
ducing the loss of lives and personal
injuries as the result of the failure of
drivers to be careful in crossing rail¬
road tracks would be a great help In
fighting our accident toll,” said Con¬
gressman Upshaw. “The recklessness
of automobile drivers is increasing as
is shown by the accident records of
1922. in which it is stated that approx¬
imately 1.800 people were killed an
5,000 were injured in the United States
at railroad crossings, which was a sub
stantlal increase over the accidents of
1921.”
MILK AS A FOOD
FOR THE BABY
Cow's milk is the best substitute tor
mother’s milk, hut it is far from h* 1
ng “just as gicod.” In fact, it is not
safe to give cow's milk to very y oung
babies. When milk is given to habit s
of any age. care is the price of health.
Many hundreds of babies die every
summer from “bowel complaints."
which are caused by feeding babies
dirty food—most often with food
which has been polluted with human
bowel material. Milk containing germs
will make the baby sick every time.
Another important point is that cow's
milk must be modified before it >s
given to babies; if it is given just as
it comes from the cow. the baby will
not be able to digest it before it is two
or more years of age.
It is important that a baby be fed
in the right way. The feedings should
be at regular intervals, by the clock,
and not every time the baby cries.
Again, you should consult your doctor,
in order to learn how often the baby
should be fed. Babies also get thirsty
—just as adults do—and should be
given plenty of cool, boiled water; a
baby will cry when it is thirsty as well
as when it's hungry.—The Progressive
Farmer.

A GOOD FAIR WILL
HELP YOUR COMMUNITY
The writer acted in the capacity of
judge at three community, two coun¬
ty and one state fair in 1922. At eath
of these fairs people were heard criti¬
cising many exhibits and saying that
they had better stuff at home. Of
course some of these good people yvere
merely exercising their privilege of
bragging. But some of them really did
have something better at home Ilian
the entries they saw at the fairs. At
one of these community fairs two peo¬
ple after looking over the exhibits did
go home and bring entries that were
better than anything previously en¬
tered.
Fairs are for everybody' and we
should each and everyone contribute to
their success. We should look upon
them as our fairs. They are just as
good and us big as we make them.
When we go to our fairs and say', “I
can beat, that." wm indict ourselves j
for neglect of a duty. Don’t let’s 1
stand off and scoff. Fairs are a "nod!
thing. Let's help them along. If we j
contribute to our church, patronize; I
our school, or deposit in our bank, we j
lake more interest and pride in these!
institutions, and yve become better cit- j
r/.ens by doing so. It is the same with j
lairs when we exhibit at them and j
thus contribute to their success.
If no plans have been made for a '
fair in your section, why not see your ;
neighbors, your school committee, I
vour county agent, and your local mer-1
chants one? Then and bankers, call everybody and arrange in the for j
on j
neighborhood to send at least one ex- j
hiliir.—The Progressive Farmer.

WE NEVER KNOW.
1 spoke a word,
And no one heard:
I wrote a word.
And no one cared
Or seemed to heed;
But after half a score of years
It blossomed in a fragrant deed,
Preachers and teachers all are we
Sowers of seeds unconsciously.
Our hearts are beyond our ken.
Vet all we give may come again
With usury of joy or pain.
We never know
To what one litle word may grow,
See to it, then, that all your seeds
Be such as bring forth noble deeds.
“I have taken Cardui for run¬
m down, worn-out condition,
nervousness and sleeplessness,
a and l was weak, too,” says
ll Mrs. Silvie Estes, of Jennings,

of good—so much that 1 gave It
to my daughter. She com¬
plained of a soreness in her sides
and back. She took three
bottles erf
The Woman’s Tonic
and her condition was much
better.
“We have lived here, near
Jennings, for 26 years, and now
we have our own home in town.
1 have had to work pretty hard,
as this country wasn’t built up,
and it made it hard for us.
“I WISH 1 could tell weak
women of Cardui—the medicine
that helped give me the strength
to go on and do my work.”
