Vol. 51—No. 23 ECONOMIZE OIM VO UK 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.

[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. Newnan Branch W. C. T. U. 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. Changeable Weather Brings Sick ness. 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 safe and reliable family medicine that heals inflamed, congested air passages, stops coughs and eases breathing. J. F. Lee Drug Co. 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. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York
