Jovle The Relation of Horticulture to Good Health The question of human nutrition constitutes one of our most vital problems. It has long been recogniz ed that through proper or improper nourishment we may change the character, the function and the serv iceability of plapts and animals. Dur ing the war the Germans sent raid ers out to prey upon the commerce of the allies. One of these ships— the Kronprinz Wilhelm, kept the high seas for a period of nine and a half months. Because of her high speed she was never overtaken or brought to battle. She destroyed a large number of ships for the Allies, but was finally forced to take shelter in an American port because of the appearance of a peculiar malady amongst her crew; but for this she might have kept the high seas for a much longer period of time as she was able to secure all the coal, water and food she needed for her crew 7 from the ships she captured. In spite of the fact that the crew w’as abundantly supplied with w’hat we regard as the most varied, whole some and desirable dietary, they grad ually became incapacitated, and when the vessel made port at Newport News, one-fourth of her crew was prostrated and the balance in a very debilitated condition. The affliction from which they were suffering baf fled the skill of the physicians em ployed to treat the men. Finally, a dietician suggested that the trouble was due to acidocis, brought about by the continued consumption of a rich, abundant and presumably sat isfactory diet, although it did not contain fruits or fresh vegetables and some other food constituents re garded as essential to the welfare of human beings and which they obtain in larger or sfnaller quantity when on land. These materials could, of course, be carried on an ocean-going vessel but evidently -were not avail able in the stores of the captured vessel or were overlooked. As soon as an abundant .supply of vitamines and alkalis w'ere provided from fruits and vegetables an immediate im provement in the health of the crew took place, which is proof of the fact that the trouble arose from a deficien cy of these elements In a ration that would ordinarily be presumed to be cf the most healthful and desirable character. It appears, therefore, that a good many ills from which human beings suffer are traceable to dietary de fects. and hence a means of supply ing rations with plenty of vitamines, alkaline salts and mineral matter and fruit acids becomes a matter of the utmost importance to the human race. It is only since 1910 that wo have known much about vitamines, and unfortunately, we know compar atively little as yet. There appear to be three classes of vitamines; the first known as fat soluble A., and the second and third, as water soluble B and C respectively. Vitamines are most abundantly found In milk and butter, in green leaves and vege tables. It is a noteworthy fact that milk is not used as abundantly as it should be in the average home, and this is particularly true in the case of young children. There is an im pression abroad that milk is too cost ly, and that other forms of food will supply the nutrients needed in a cheaper or more desirable form. This is a mistake. There is more nutri tion in a quart, of milk than in a pound of beef steak which may cost even at present prices twice as much as a quart of milk. The consumption of the meat tends to produce an acid condition of the system. It Is much more difficult to digest and assimilate than the milk and it fails to supply the individual with the all-essential vitamines. We naturally do not eat as much butter as we might other wise because of its high price and relative scarcity. The welfare of the children of the nation and of the population as a whole is far more dependent on the development of the dairy industry than the beef indus try. In other words, If we concen trate our energy more on the pro duction of milk and butter we could supply the needs of our population and their dietary requirements more satisfactory and economically than ■-11 £fs Rat, Weevil, Fire, e= 3 Water and Thief Proat !

Os course, beef should not be excluded, but its use should be regulated; in other words, it should not constitute as it does in so many of our homes one of the chief articles of the menu. f Most of our homes are without a garden or orchard. Fruits and vege tables are considered expensive and non-essential in many instances; so we eat, taken as a nation, relatively small supplies of the green-leaved vegetables and fruits which provide vitamines, laxative qualities and the essential salts as well. In the city it may be difficult to have a garden, yet those living In towns may often enjoy a better dietary than those living in the country. A large proportion of the fruits and vegetables we produce are rushed to the towns and cities. A part of the urban population has the money to buy them, and in such families the chances are that the amount of meat consumed is minimized to a consid erable extent, and hence the health of the family is better safe-guarded than where meat constitutes one of the chief articles of the food con sumed. There is no excuse for every one in the country not having plenty of fruits and vegetables. It is a crime against the children thg.t we should neglect these matters on the great majority of our farms. It is for the purpose of encouraging an interest in orcharding and gardening that this article is written. We can not hope to have as vigorous and progressive a people as we should have unless we supply the growing boys and girls and the mature men and women of the nation with an abundance of vitamines and mineral salts. A deficiency of iron, for in stance, undoubtedly favors the de velopment of aenemia, a trouble which is altogether too prevalent; yet iron is chiefly taken into the human system through the consump tion of vegetables; only a very small amount is just as essential to the welfare of the human body as the larger quantities of other con stituents which we may think it nec essary to provide. As a nation we are disposed to suf fer from constipation and all the Ills that flow thereform. This is due in. large measure to the fact that we do not consume a balanced dietary in which the elements associated with a laxative condition of the bowels are provided in proper proportion. If we would eat more of the citrus fruits and apples and cut out some of the other things, we would all be advantaged thereby; the daily store of food required to feed and nourish the individual or the family could be reduced quite materially, and the health ration of the nation be main tained on an infinitely higher plane than it is today. Mineral salts of course are im portant because they are body reg ulators. They help to keep the famework or the skeleton in good working order; they favor a rapid and complete circulation and promote good digestion. Why spend so much effort and energy, therefore, on the purchase and use of meat when the raw products of the orchard and garden are so essential and' relatively easy to have on every farm? A good collard patch is literally worth its weight in gold during the winter sea son; yet, how comparatively few fam ilies cultivate greens of this charac ter in their gardens. Those who do not like collards can grow what some are pleased to term the more refined type of greens. Almost any one can have a little old frame in the back yard, which should provide a beauti ful head of lettuce for at least one meal a day during the winter sea son. The tomato, is one of the easi est and most desirable of vegetables to cultivate. A few plants will pro duce a large amount of fruit. There is far more truth than fiction in the saying "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." It is not necessary that a dietary should be costly in order to be health ful. The Italian peasant of southern Italy lives most economically from our point of view. His primary food is polento, which is made of corn and beans cooked together. In addition he consumes vast quantities of green leaved vegetables. Thus, though his dietary is simplicity itself, he and his children grow into vigorous manhood and womanhood, as is evidenced by the hard labor they have performed for years on public works when brought to this country. This very simple diet, on which a hardy and vigorous race has been developed, supplies, after all, the essential vitamines and mineral salts. The negroes of the south are credited with living on a relatively restricted diet,. but every one knows how fond they are of greens and what vast quantities of these they consume. Again, they are supplying themselves with the vitamines and the mineral salts which may be lacking in a much more costly ration. The medical records of our army show that one-third of the men draft ed were unfit for military service be cause of some physical defect, the majority of which could have been corrected by simple treatment in youth. A considerable part of the trouble seemed to be due to defects in the dietary. In some instances there has been a persistent over feeding with meat and the loading up of the system with undesirable acids. In other instances, there was an entire lack of vitamines in the diet. In some cases the mineral salts had been neglected, and in others, comparatively little fruit had been consumed. Very often cornbread not a well-balanced food at best, con stitutes the major portion of the bread ration. These figures are startling, to say the least, because they indicate that one-third of our manhood was unable to serve the country satisfactorily in its hour of need. The shameful loss and waste involved by such a condition should arouse us from our indifference and lethargy relative to health matters. People who are defective from any of the causes suggested above can not be normal nor can work or perform the services which they should be capable of rendering to themselves and the community in which they live. Aside and beyond all this, think of the incredible amount of sickness, lost motion and unhappiness which such a condition is bound to produce. The interests of the nation and of the individuals concerned demand that conditions such as these be corrected. It seems reasonable to suppose that if thirty-three and a third per cent of the men were found defective that an equal per cent of the women, if examined in the same manner, would also be found physically defii cient. When we consider that our country is blessed with the most fa vorable soil and climate, and that we can grow in superabundance, when ever we wish to do so, every variety of fruit, vegetable and foodstuff needed to give our people the most completely balanced and desirable dietary in the world, does not our apparent neglect of this matter be come of grave economic concern? It seems to me that it is far more important that the women of the na tion be taught the principles involv ed in the selection and preparation of food and the serving of whole some, properly balanced meals than to give them a smattering of French and music or some other sort of training which does not add to their efficiency, their charm or their abil ity to serve mankind acceptably. Let us have all the refinement and grace possible, but let us not longer neglect the fundamental and essen tial things. A new generation of children is being born each day that the sun rises and sets athwart the great plains and mountain ridges of America. Are we going to see in fu ture that they are nurtured and fed as they should be and given a fair chance to develop into normal men and women? Or are We still going to condemn one-third of them to be inefficient, unhealthy and unhappy and a menace rather than a blessing to . society. There is no crime so heinous as that against childhood. To deny to children the enjoyment of their birthright is unforgivable. Let us correct through the adequate use of the knowledge we already possess the injustice done the chil dren of past generations. To do this will call for the united effort and active and sympathetic support of all our people, but once they sense the issues involved and the gravity of the situation by which we are con fronted, I feel certain they will rally to the cause in no uncertain manner. Beggar Weed as a Potash Clover A. N., Baconton, Ga., writes: Does begger weed add potash to the soil and how? How does it compare with crimson clover or hairy vetch as a legume? Does it make a good pasture? Please give formula for inoculating clover and vetch seed. Begger weeds do not add potash to the soil. In fact, there is no plant which will do this. Some crops feed much deeper in the soil than others. Alfalfa, for instance, sends roots down into the ground to the depth of several feet under favorable condi tions. It can thus gather potash from larger areas of the land than some other crops. All legumes re quire considerable amounts of potash. This is one reason, no doubt, why nature gave them such an extenscive root system. Our expe rience and observation would lead us to select crimson clover, any of the winter growing cereals or hairy vetch as the most desirable legumes* to plant and use as winter cover crops in southwest Georgia. We would also prefer these crops as purveyors of humus to the soil. Rye, of course, is not a legume and gathers no nitrogen from the air on that account. Crim son clover and hairy vetch are both legumes and so will add something to the sum total of the nitrogen in the land on which they, are grown and turned under. You will always obtain a larger bulk of three pecks and crimson clover in the proportion of twelve pounds. You may, of course, use hairy vetch in place of the clover. Hairy vetch seed have recently been more expensive than that of the other crops mentioned. Bermuda grass on red lands will form a dense and virtually perma nent sod. Beggar weed would only supply at best a more or less tem porary pasture. There is no formula for inoculating clover and vetch seeds. Seeds of these crops as you know are relatively small. This is particularly true of clover seed. Hence, it has been found desirable to inoculate the smaller seeded sorts in particular for planting on soil areas where they have not been pre viously grown. There are many con cerns which now manufacture these cultures, and you can secure such quantities as you may desire at a reasonable cost therefrom. Full di rections accompany all cultures, and, if these are carefully and painstak ingly followed, good results should be obtained from their use under the circumstances I have portrayed. Winter liegnmes as Cover Crops C. L. J., Sandersville, Ga., writes: I want to seed several acres this fall to a winter legume as a cover crop and for hay. I have thought of bur clover and vetch. Any advice you can give me along this line will be appre ciated. You could seed either hairy vetch or bur clover this fall as a winter cover crop. The hairy vetch would in our judgment make you the best hay crop. We would prefer to seed it along with rye, os.is, or wheat for this purpose. Our preference is al ways for oats, as they make an ex cellent quality of hay if cut when just passing out of the dough stage. You might sow a bushel of oats and a peck of vetch, say, from October 15th to November Ist. The hairy vetch makes little growth or develop ment in the autumn months, but grows vigorously in the spring. Tne oats give it the support it needs. Be side being one of the most beautiful combination farm crops, you will se cure a good yield of hay of fine nu tritive value. We have cut from one and one-half to four tons per acre from this combination, and it has proved to be a most satisfactory hay for work stock and beef and dairy cattle. Bur clover is an annual, as you doubtless know, and we think more valuable for grazing in your section than for hay production. We would prefer to seed it early as it germi nates very slowly. In planting bur clover it is best to seed it in shallow rows about three feet apart. You will need to use about four bushels in the bur. When seeded in this manner, it does not need to be in oculated. We would use two hun dred pounds of acid phosphate and one hundred pounds of kainit for the purpose of stimulating its growth. You can graze it in the spring, but would have to keep stock off in April and May if you wish it to reseed itself.

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME I am coming to you for advice. Will you please tell me what will take dandruff off the head and what will make the hair grow? What will take sunburn off? What will take blackheads out of the face? Which is more suitable for a summer dress, voile or some kind of silk dress? This is" some questions to ask, but please pardon me. I hope to see this in print, as it is my second let ter to write. Thanking you for ad vice. Respectfully yours, E. M. Dandruff comes from a dry scalp. The hair should be kept perfectly clean, then it should get the sunlight and air. Wash the hair in fresh rainwater. This will make it grow, and just be fore doing so rub. the scalp well, say at least a half hour's mas sage, with a mixture of one tea spoonful of castor oil, a third of a spoonful of powdered quinine mixed with a little bayrum. This used everytime before shampoo ing the hair will help. But keep the hair aired. Here comes an Alabama girl to you for advice. I’m nineteen years old, and have finished school. I’m going with two boys now. One I love very dearly, but he doasn’t love me. The other boy loves me and has asked me to marry him, but I don t care for him. He says he will never be happy without me. He has a college education, and the boy I love hasn’t. Please tell me what to do. I might be happy with the boy I don t love, but I am sure I could never forget the one I love. Will appreciate any advice you may give BROWN EYES. Even if you love tbe young man devotedly who cares nothing for you, such devotion as you feel now will dwindle away after awhile, with nothing to feed upon. And if you feel sure he never love you, you would be wiser to forget him. And, another thing, if the other man loves you, and has a col lege education, at least you will not be ashamed of him, and everv woman likes to look up to the man she marries. a H«!, e » aS i e nie a little advice, not ha™ l * lOVe ki f ? r 1 am carried and h! ° children, a good hubby and am happy.

I have been going with a boy off and on for a year until just before Christmas he quit coming and did not answer my last letter. He did not get mad. He talks to others hoys and girls, about me, and I have talked to him a few times since, but ne doesn t seem to want to go with t Plaase answer and tel] me what to do about it. Thanking you for your advice, ajid hoping to see this in The Journal. WEEPING WILLOW. There is nothing left for you to do but let the boy go on the way he has chosen. He is sim ply tired of you, that is all. Lose no time weeping over him, but treat him with indifference. There are others, and it is up to you to find them. You may find someone later whom you can care for more than you do this boy. Mississippi Woman Believes Trunk Victim To Be Her Daughter CANTON, 0., July 31. —That the victim of the New York trunk mus der mystery was her daughter, Mrs. Laura Vanbecar, alias Leßoy, in stead of Mrs. Eugene Leßoy, of Sturgis, Miss., despite positive identi fication to the latter effect by a brother and former husband, is the belief of Mrs. August Strunk, of West Brookfield, near Massillon. TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1920 The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON What About Prohibition? Our tri-weekly readers will under stand that the eighteenth amendment of the federal constitution was not only passed through the congress oi the United States by a three-fourths majority, but forty-five of the forty- - eight states subsequently ratified the amendment and Georgia was among the early ones to ratify—by the gen-u eral assembly—in session as the law directs. That would seem to be quite' enough to silence opposition and to clear the United States of the mak ing and selling of intoxicants. Pre vious to the ratification of this pro hibition amendment, the internal rev enue system was hand-in-glove with the bonded United States warehouses where liquor could be stored for sev eral years, to mellow with age, and the United States government obtain ed a revenue from this bonded liquor when sold. When whisky could be. retailed at $2 per gallon, the federal authorities received something like DO cents for its share—as a partner. This alliance between the federal government and the liquor makers grew out of the devastation of the civil war of the 60’s. It was only tolerated because the Civil war brought the United States to thq, edge of bankruptcy. But it survived, the Civil war. The prohibition amendment was fought from start' to finish by the makers and of liquors. The congress of the United States voted out this lawful curse on the lives of mothers and their children.: The government was obliged to cut itself loose from this wicked part-. nership that debased the homes and the lives and the happiness of the children of our homes —inhabited by the men, women and children—num bering more than one hundred m!i->> lions of people in this American re public. It was a long contest. It was a very bitter one. The gains of the’ liquor sellers were immense. It made these men more rich in money and powerful in politics. They fought to the last ditch! After the prohi amendment became an integral part of the supreme law of the United states —a faction came forward to ratified by the aforesaid forty-five states, a faction came forward to make the United States as wet as the Atlantic ocean. New Jersey presented tlie wet. candidate to the national Democratic convention, assembled as Frisco, and the convention would not swallow such a candidate “in the raw.” Nev ertheless, there was a general upris-t. ing of the liquor forces —jto control the politics of this country. There is a united effort to elect, to congress, men of the “wet” va riety. Therefore, we find liquor can didates in many counties for such offices as sheriff and those who caA hinder the proper enforcement of, this prohi-amendment. We have all the law that anybody could ask for, to prevent the illicit making and vending of these dread ful intoxicants. The law-enforce ment is the place' where the con spiracy prevails, by reason of the failure of sworn officials to enforce the law. When I tell you that I have in formation from reliable sources that there are thousands of illicit stills where corn and corn meal are turn ed into sour mash (and corn sells now at $3 per bushel) that syrup is bought and sold to sweeten the 1 whisky mash: hundreds of persons are hauling in hundreds of gallons of this devil’s broth by night t,o be 1 sold and shipped at fabulous nrices. I ask the readers of the Tri-Weekly Journal to wake up—and look around and see “where we are at!” Value of Grading Proved It has been demonstrated many times that in the markets of the world the seller with the best graded products is the favorite, because graded goods are standard and the buyer knows what he will get when he buys. Standardization establishes a common language between the buy er in one country and the seller in another, which creates understanding and confidence and prevents disputes. A national grading system usually provides for authorized national in spectors to pass unon the goods and thus puts into effect a uniform standard application of the grades established, whatever they may be, that can not be maintained unless the system is nation wide in its scope. In fact, experience has shown that the decisive factor in the devel opment of foreign busines often hinges on the proper standardization and grading of the products to be sold.
