FEED
When you buy a ton of hulls you pay for 500 lbs. of lint (which positively has no food value)
and is money wasted. Basing hulls at $16 per ton this feed is costing you $21.33 per ton. When
you add to this one-fifth meal at $35 per ton, your feed is costing $24.06 per ton.
We are selling delinted hulls (100 per cent, available) at $14 per ton, and meal at $30 per ton.
On above basis your feed will cost you $17.20 per ton. In addition to this we will allow you 80c
a ton for bags returned in good order. This will make a saving of $7.66 per ton from what it is
now costing you. Won’t this saving interest you enough to give it a trial?
If you have corn in shuck, oats in sheath, hay or stover, bring it in and have it ground. Grind
ing feedstuff adds 20 to 25 per cent, to its value. Give us a trial and convince yourself that our
claims are justified.
THE SOUTH’S AVAILABLE POTASH
You are to-day facing the problem of not only poor-grade but high-priced fertilizers. There is
practically no Potash for sale except at prohibitive prices.
We have for sale Buco Feed Meal which contains 11-2 per cent. Potash. If you will use 1,000
lbs. of 16 per cent. Acid and 1,000 lbs. of Buco Meal you will have a fertilizer that will run 8.2.3-4
which will cost you about $22 per ton. At this price you can afford to use your regular amount
of fertilizer and get good results. Would be pleased to have you take this up with us, as we feel it
will be money saved you. Yours truly,

Care of the Baby in Winter.
[Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. 8. De-
partment of Labor.]
So much emphasis is constantly placed
upon the necessity for special care of
the baby in summer, when the heat is
excessive and diarrheal diseases at their
worst, that the fact that winter, too,
has its special dangers for the baby, is
sometimes overlooked.
It has been demonstrated quite con
clusively that a large part of the deaths
from summer diarrhea are needless, be
cause this disease may be cured in
many cases, and prevented entirely in
many more by the proper care and feed
ing of the baby during the heated
months. The same doctrine is now be
ing applied to the group of what are
commonly called “winter diseases" of
babies and children, namely, bronchi
tis, pneumonia, “colds,” and the like,
which are, to a large extent, prevent
able by the intelligent care of the baby,
and by surrounding him with proper
living conditions.
These proper living conditions con
sist both in winter and summer of suit
able food, in the right amounts, at the
right times, cleanliness, sufficient sleep,
plenty of fresh, clean air to breathe,
and protection from exposure to infec
tious diseases. It is chiefly the lack df
these two latter requirements that
causes the winter illnesses among
babies.
It is .not the cold of winter which
makes people sick, ordinarily, but
rather the stale, over-heated air inside
our houses and public buildings, which
we breathe and re-breathe, thus pass
ing disease germB about from one to
another. Babies are particularly liable
to be infected in this w ay, because they
spend a large part of their time indoors,
and because mothers are apt to feel
that to keep the baby warm the rooms
must be kept shut tight.
A mother should use every means in
her power to protect her baby from
"taking cold,” as it is commonly de
scribed, Colds.are due to a germ and
are very contagious, being easily passed
from one person to another inlcougbing
or sneezing. A nursing mother with a
cold should tie a thin cloth or veil over
her month and nose while nursing the
baby, and should be careful never to
cough or sneeze in his face, nor kiss
him on the mouth. She should be par
ticularly careful not to use her own
handkerchief for the baby, nor sleef
with him, while the disease lasts
Many babies contract these colds by bel
ing taken up and kissed by visitors,
and it is a wise rule to keep the baby
away from the presence of people who
are coughing and sneezing. The rea
son for this great care as regards a
baby is that a contagious cold is very
often the forerunner of bronchitis and
pneumonia, which diseases cause the
death of many thousands of young
babies every year, and which are in
finitely easier to prevent than to cure.
Fresh air is the most effective weapon
with which to fight the diseases of the
respiratory tract. This does not neces
sarily mean cold air, for cold air may
be stale, and warm air may be pure.
The ventilation of most bouses iB faulty,
since in order to keep them warm
enough to suit us we shut them so
tightly as to make the air unfit to
breathe, after a few hours. To coun
teract this tendency mothers Bhouid see
to it that all the occupied rooms of the
house are thoroughly aired at least
twice a day in the coldest weather,
while in moderate weather there should
be as nearly as constant a supply of
fresh air throughout the house, night
and day, as can be managed.
When the temperature outside iB very
low, the baby should be taken into a
warm room while his nursery is being
aired, and at night his bed should be
shielded from a direct draft. If there
is a communicating room, the window
in that room may be opened, if there is
danger of chillinglthe air of his Bleep
ing room.
If the cold is excessive, or if there is
a raw, damp wind blowing or rain or
snow falling, the baby should be
given his daily airing in a room with
the windows open or, on a protected
porch, dressing bin} warmly in outdoor
clothing. He should be taken out dur
ing the middle of the day for a little
while, never long enough to run the
risk of chilling him. This applies
especially to young and delicate babies.
As a child gets "old enough to walk
about and thus exercise himself, he can
be allowed to play for some time in an
open room or where he is sheltered
from the wind.
But an airing every day does not take
the place of fresh air in the house, day
and night, and to secure sufficient ven
tilation for health the mother must be
on the watch to see that the roomB are
opened and the air changed at frequent
intervals.

Our last meeting, on Feb. 14, was
held in the home of Mrs. E. O. Reese,
who entertained two organizations, and
attended a wedding on that afternoon,
proving that Hewnan women can do
things.
MrB. R. J. Barnett presided, giving
a most helpful talk on the neceBBity of
unselfish service ,and generous giving,
if we ever accomplish anything worth
while.
The union telegraphed a request to
Washington for support of the prohibi
tion bill for the District of Columbia,
which is expected to be acted on soon.
Its passage will give a mighty impetus
to national prohibition.
Mrs. Stanford read a request from
the State Superintendent of Medical
Temperance for the names of Coweta’B
physicians, qualified with the statement
as to whether they do or do not pre
scribe alcoholic liquors In their practice.
A committee reported that charts, in
connection with scientific temperance
instruction, had been placed in the
Newnan schools.
The good results from the visit of
The world's richest tin mine is one
in Tasmania.
Mrs, Atkins, Mrs. Middleton and Mrs.
Patterson in holding the recent W. C.
T. U. Institue was discussed, and their
addresses highly commended.
Temperance sentiment is gaining
ground by leaps and bounds, and the
wonder is that more women do not
covet the high honor of bringing about
a better day by taking an active part
now, while their help will mean so
much to the cause. N. L. C.

The changeable weather of March
causes coughs, colds, croup and grippe.
There is no such thing as a "light
cold"—none that a person can safely
neglect. Foley’s Honey and Tar is

A band had been formed at a West
ern Normal School, and, as is frequent
in such cases, there was not enough
money at first for complete uniforms.
However, the following notice' in the
school paper created quite a sensation:
“The Normal School band uniforms
will consist of a cap and coat at first,
with the probable addition of trouBers
at a lat r date.”
Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate ?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream of tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Nevei sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.
