T. B. SANDERS' PASTURE—
On Saturday morning, according to
the announcement made loot week In
The Herald, n mooting was held nt Mr.
T. B. Sanders’ pasture. About 76 of
♦he best farmers In tho county wore on
hand to meet Mr. Tnbor, of the Exten
sion Service, and Mr. Biifcinore, of tho
agricultural staff of tho Central of Geor
gia railway. Mr. Jackson, of tho Con-
trnl railway, who wns expected, was pre
vented nt tho Inat moment from coming.
At 10 o’clock tho bunch of men who
had arrived Htnrted through tho pas
ture, examining and discussing tho vari
ous grasses. Tho showing of Dallis
grass and Icspedesa was vory good In
deed, and many of the visitors found
it hard to bcliovo that this pasture lind
boon In brush a few months ago, Hint
tho grasses now making such n good
showing hnd been sown barely- four
months, and that cattle had beau run
ning on tho pasture continuously slnco
It wns -planted. Tho carpet graBs does
not yet mako such h show us tho others,
but it can bo found scattered all over
the pasture and will certainly make It
self seen boforo tho season is over. Mr,
Tnbor and Mr. Bar-moro expressed groat
satisfaction nt tho good showing, nnd
pronounced It tho best of the pastures
yet inspected.
At a suitnblo plnco in tho pasture the
County Agont asked tho crowd to gather
nbout one spot, wlioro ho asked Mr.
Banders, Mr. Bnr.einoro nnd Mr. Tabor
to present various phases of tho pnsturo
demonstration. .Everybody took part In
tho discussion, nnd no doubt everybody
got valuable information from it.
Ndtnblo points that woro brought out,
woro tlie importanco of bottom lands in
making our pnsturo bnsls, nnd tha spe
dal fitness of tho grasses used here—
Dallis grass, oarpet grass and lespodc/.a
for gazing purposes, while liorinudn
grass and lespeilezn form tho basis of
tho uplnmh pnsturo, to be supplemented
by bur eiovor. A vory practical sugges
tion by Mr. Biizomoro for securing bur
• eiovor seed wns the formation of a seed
patch at once, from which tho bur clover
area could bo extended at small expense.
Mi 1 . Tnbor left a gigid many copies of
a Into bulletin on pasture soils with tho
Bounty Agent, and anyone interested enh
secure one upon request.
Mr. Sanders la already known through
out the county ns n practical, progressive
nnd successful fnrmcr, nnd the county is
to lio congratulated that lie 1ms under
taken this ligature demonstration, which
ought to be of grent benefit, to us nil.
And tho appropriation nnd work given
to those demonstrations by tho Central
of Georgia people indientes an intelli
gent. interest in the agricultural devel
opment of their .territory which wo can
not but npprSiviato.

LETTER TO CLUB GIRLS—
Dear Club Member: Following out
our plnn, we herein give you Borne points
on selecting Leghorns, (white,) as they
nrc the most common variety.
Tho Leghorn, you know, is a type of
egg breed, so no attention is paid to
producing a gooil qunlity of meat. They
nro small, compact, with little flesh, and
usually tongh-incntod,
Tho following points disqualify a Leg
horn from competition: Red covering
more thnn one-third the mirfneo of car
lobes in cockerels' nnd pullets, (young
birds); a fouthor other tlmn white in
part of the plumage; shanks or IcgB
other tlinn yellow; feathors on the legs.
As to type, -the host way to describe
“typo” in Leghorns is to say that tho
Binulll, dainty fowls (small in all parts)
arc of the preferred type. Two of tho
main fentures in Leghorns nro tho comb
or head parts and tho tail. A small,
dainty, Cvonly serrated comb nnd n
largo, well-spread tuil carried at an an
gle slightly above 45 degrees, (nearer
straight up tlmn on a level with tho
back). Watch tnllB thnt aro onrriod too
straight. Many Loghorns havo n ten
dency to carry tho tnll nearer the bond
than vortical, squirrel tnll.)
Both the surfnee and under-color
should be pure white, free from any
brassy or cronmy tlngo, nnd tho claancr
and whltor tho better.
This concludes our series of “judging
letters, ” nnd wo hope thnt you have
gained a good idea of how to judge tho
three nuiln breeds—Rhode Island Reds,
Burred Rocks nnd White Leghorns.

OPEN LETTER TO COMMUNITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS—
Dear Community Council Monbers:
Tho call to community service is very
urgent, and tho possibilities for develop
ing nnd broadoning our homo life by
this united, co-opornting offort is tho
greatest nnd moHt far-reaching in the
history of our nation. It seonis to have
become us much a duty ns tho routine
of \v#fk within the individual home.
When wo stop nnd give tho subject
propor thought we realize thnt the high
er tho standard of living in our com
munity tho easier it is to raise men nnd
women of strong character, which means
a continuous ripple of increasing good.
Tho responsibility is grent, balanced by
wonderful ‘ opportunities and privileges.
I, nh chairman of tho woman’s division
of tho County Farm "Bureau, ask that
every woman in'the county givo it her
hearty support, -You want to bo proud
of tlic community In which you live, ami
wo all want, to fool that our county
is in tlio front, rank of tho. forward
march. Our children doHorve the vory
best iniluence.. No woman of city or
country can afford to be a slacker, or
excuse themselves from their duty
ns true citizens of Americn. Making,
bettor American citizens Is our business.
Do not “let up” On your job. Attend
your meetings regularly. Each member
'should keep on the watch for any nnd all
things thnt will meet your individual
community needs, and together you can
discuss plans nnd means to accomplish
them. We hope to all get together in n
good county meeting soon.

A GOOD BREAKFAST MENU—
One fresh tomato, one glass of milk,
two slices of bread, one small dish of
syrup, ono medium piece of butter, one
egg. Every breakfnst should give the
body tlie .five food elements, namely:
Mineral salts, protein, starch, sugar and
fat. And for thin reason I selected
the above menu.
The tomato contains the mineral Balts,
which is the most important of the five
food elements. The milk nnd the ogg
furnish the protein. The milk also cpn-
tuins some of the other elements. The
broad furnishes the body stareli, syrup
the sugnr, the butter the fat. This
breakfast need not be a “store bought”
ono, because it can bo gotten at home
oasily, especially in tlie summer. When
winter comes oat an apple instead of the
tomnto,
Wo may compare our body to an au
tomobile. If the water dries out of .the
radiator, or- tho nlr leaks out of the tiro,'
or the gas, oil, or grease Igivo out ami
wo try to drive tho car without ono of
these substances, we are sure to have
trouble. This is true with our bodies.
If wo go oh nnd do not eat enough of
oach of tho five food elements named we
Bhali bo like tho car—we cannot go. Wo
may not break down ns quickly as tho
car, for there are some fools that sup
ply a small amount of those elements;
but somo - of them are in such Btnall
amounts that we do not get. enoagh to
Bupply our bodies,’ demands, and wo
slowly becomo sickly and weak. Some
times people have soriouB sickness, or
ovon die, 'because they do not eat a
proper amount of tho important food
elements tho body needs so badly. A
good cook not only tries to fix a good
meal for the eye and taste, but also
for the boily’s needs. Supplying tne
body witli proper food is the most im
portant tiling a cook can do.

THE BABY CLINIC
SAVE INFANT LIVES^-
A bnby clinic in a town is a lionltli
mensuro which should appeal to every
citizen, and especially to every mother,
for it, is a definite step in the direction
of saving tlie lives of babes—not so
much by helping sick babies got well as
by keoping well bnbies from getting
sick. When Isucl: clinics were estab
lished in Now York City it reduced tho
infant death rate by two-thirds of tho
uBiini number, which meant a saving of
4,126 infant lives.
The principal requirements for such
n clinic nro the services of a good doc
tor, a nurse to help him make examina
tions, and n centrally located place
where mothers may bring their babies
for n thorough examination. Tlie equip
ment for a baby clinic need not be elab
orate or expensive—a pair of baby
scales, an extra blanket or two to throw
over tlie babies when they are being
examined, a warm, bright room, and
such implements for examining throats
or' eyes as tho doctor may enrry with
him.
In examining the babies brought tb
the clinic the nurse standB at the right
hand of the doctor; she interviews the
mother, weighs the bnby, and gets it
ready for the doctor to oxnmine. Then
she keeps a record of wlint tho doctor
finds, and explains in careful detail to
the mother juBt how the doctor’s orders
should be carried out; how the baby
should be dressed; bow cow’s milk
should be prepared to make it snfe, if
breast feeding is impossible; nnd after
the bnby leaves the. clinic the nurse
visits the mother in her home and shows
her the best ways of caring for the bnby
with thd appliances she hag at hand.
One hundred thousand babies can be
saved every year if they are properly
cared for, is the belief of the scientists
who umloretaml tho care of babies, and
a baby clinic is the chief method by
which this great work can be done.
During the summer months the largest
number of babies die, due to improper
feeding, because in food not kept per
fectly clean germs multiply much more
rapidly in warm weather thnn in cold,
nnd this poisons thousands of bnbies
every year. Then, too, many mothers
give babies food which is impossible for
them to digest, and this lack of under
standing of a baby’s food needs is one
of tlie principal causes of the infant
death .rate.
Every baby Bhoultl gain a fixed
weight each week. Loss of n pound or
two of weight makes vory little differ
ence to nn adult, but it means much to
a baby, for it is an indication of arrest
ed development. In fact, a pound or
two lost by a baby means aB much as
ten or fifteen pounds lost by an adult.
When a baby fails to gain the re
quired number of ounces each week it
means that there is something wrong
with its food or its health. All babies
should be watched, and this watching
is one of the main functions of a baby
clinic.
It is a comparatively simple matter
to keep a well baby well; it is a dif
ficult and often an impossible task to
help a sick baby get well. The l-nby
clinic helps tho mother to accomplish
both objects, but its most important
work is keoping the well baby from fit
ting sick.
The .organizing of a baby clinic is n
valuable asset to a town. It should com
mand tlie interest of all the people, and
once attention is called to the good work
accomplished it is safe to predict that
health officers, doctors, mothers, mul in
fluential citizons will all combine to es
tablish and support a permanent baby
clinic. Annie Traber,

HOW THE GERMAN DEBT IS TO
BE PAID.
Youth’s Companion.
Now that the Germans havo sensibly
decided to accept without further ob
struction the reparations assessed against
them under the Trenty of Versailles,- it
boconieB interesting to know the finan
cial arrangements that the nllies havo
mndc for collecting the money.
The total sum of the allied bill is 152,-
000,000,000 marks on a gold basis, or
about $33,000,000,000. Germany, of
course, cannot pay that amount, or in
deed any grent part of it, at once. It is
therefore called on to issue bonds, on
which it must pay five per cent., interest
until they nre extinguished. Bonds
amounting to some 12,000,000,000 marks
are to be issued at once, and another is-
buo of 38,000,000,000 marks is to be put
out in tfie fall. The balance, about
82,000,000,000 mnrks, will be bonded as
Germany demonstrates' its cupnclty to
pay the interest on the first two issues.
From the beginning Germany must pay
2,000,000,000 marks a yenr,. besides a
tax of 26 per bent, -on the value of its
exports. That sum is expected to pay
the interest on. the bonds thnt are to
be issued this year,, nnd to create a sink
ing fund for retiring some of the bonds
annually. As the amount of the bond
ibsuos increases the annual payments will
of course increase. The export tax is
defended as a means of preventing Ger
many with its cheap labor cost—the re
sult of its depreciated currency—from
swamping the markets of the world with
low-priced goods.
The bonds that we have described nre
not to bo- delivered'direct to-the nntions
entitled to reparation, but to the Repar
ation Commission, which will distribute
them proportionally.
Besides the money payments, Germany
is bound to supply labor and materials,
if required, for restoring devastated
areas in any of the allied countries. The
value of such contribution will of course
be deducted from the total bill, just as
if it wore a payment in cash.
It is evident that the plan will not
give Prance or Belgium the immediate
use of the money it needs to carry on the
work of restoration, or Ao pay the sums
it has borrowed in England and Ameri
ca. Consequently, we may expect that a
considerable part of the first bond issue
will be put on the market, or slse that
France will borrow still more largely in
America and offer the German bonds as
credit collateral. Obviously, the settle
ment of the reparation question on the
allies’ terms will greatly strengthen
French credit in the United States.
Bankers do not believe that- the German
bonds will find a ready market in this
country for a year or two; but eventual
ly, if the plan works Out successfully, a
very great .part of the German debt is
likely to be held in this country. No
other nation has the free capital availa
ble for discounting the reparation pay
ments to the countries that need them;
and it is to the interest of the allies to
have the United States vitally concerned'
in seeing to it that Germany pays its
bills in full. ' -
More and more it is coming to be the
opinion of economists that the plan does
not put any intolerable burden on Ger
many. It makes inevitable n long period
of heavy taxation; but Germany has not
yet begun to tax itself ns other countries
have. The Englishman of substance m
day pays a tax of five or six times
large ns that of the Germnn of simitar
means. The German lenders deliberate
ly kept taxation low because they cx
pected to collect tho cost of tho war
from the enemy.
' How long will it take to pay off tho e„.
tire debt no ono can predict. The first
bond issues can hardly be retired in i P „
than thirty-seven years and then other
billions must still bo fotmd. We cannot
even guess how soon the bonds fur thn«»
other billions will be issued.
The prospect « not a cheery 0 nc for a
people who had hoped by this time to lie
in command of tlie resources of tlie
world; but if the Germans go sincerely
and patiently to work to clear off vi-oir--
Inirden, they may do it much more quick-
ly than now soems possible,
THE -WOMANLY WOMAN.
After nil, there is. no being thnt is
more truly lovable and admirable than
the .woman w)io is genuinely womanly.
There is a charm in her femininity
that no acquired grace can lend, and by
-the possession of - domestic virtues she
frequently wins' in the matrimonial race-
when, the strong, athletic creature who
rows, swimB, bowls, nnd walks ns well ns
her big brother, utterly fails.
Some men may profess to admire tlie
Juno type, and many of them really do
.but tho large majority prefor the 'more
essentially feminine girl.
Home life has not become so far ex
tinct that a husband does not desire in
his wife those little Virtues and graces
he had been wont to dream of in the sol
itude of his bachelor apartments, when-
a pretty, Bmiling face to greet him on
his return homo seemed a most desirable
object to attain.
A man appreciates far more the wo
man who openly avows that she likes fine
alothes and is given over to the little
feminine vanities than the one who takes,
an interest in conventions and dresses as
nearly like men as is possible, though she
may be able to -discuss subjects witli an
air of confident knowledge that he him
self cannot boast.
It does not follow, however, because a
woman is womanly thnt she need adopt
wholly the fads and follies of her sex.
The woman who can make home most at
tractive, be the modest hostess as weir
as wife and mother,' is well informed
and able to talk intelligently, is the wo
man who will hfive her -husband wooing
her when others will have to fight for
respect.

I take this method of thanking my friends and patrons for the assistance
given me and the science of Chiropractic in securing the passage of the Chiro
practic Bill. The House passed the bill by a vote of 129 to 18, while the Senate
vote was 37 to 2. The bill has been signed by the Governor, aqd is now the
law.
I regret very much that both of. Coweta’s representatives in the House
voted against the bill.
Under the law just enacted all Chiropractors must stand an examination
before a board of five qualified Chiropractic practitioners, appointed by the Gov
ernor. Only those qualified by training and ability may be admitted to practice
the profession in Georgia. ’
My office is open to the public, and all are invited to come and investigate
what Chiropractic means to the public health.
In my office is one of the best X-Ray equipments in Georgia, and all pa
tients are photographed by the X-Ray before adjustments are given, thus-elimi
nating error, and giving the patient the best in Chiropractic.
