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. ‘ B. M. Drake, County Agont. 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. Lorine Collins, Homo Demonstration Agent. 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. Mrs. .1. R. Gable, Vice-Chnirmnn County Farm Bureau. > 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.

Public Health Service MISS ANNIE TRABER, Red Cross Publie Health Nurse- Chamber, of Commerce- ’Phone 45- 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.

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.

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.
