By Paul Stevenson
Dedication of a new concrete
bridge near Cleveland on the
Cleveland-Blairsville Highway to
the memory of White County sol¬
diers who lost their lives in the
World War has been approved by
the State Highway Department and
elaborate ceremonies will be held
1 at the dedication when the bridge
is finished, it was learned Tuesday
from John N. Holder, chairman of
the State Highway Commission.
The suggestion that this bridge
be dedicated to the boys who died
in the World War was made by
Jas. P. Davidson, Cleveland news¬
paper editor," Chairman Holder
said. “We are glad to have the
opportunity of co-operating in this
movement and believe that lasting
memorials which will be of service
to the community will prove a satis¬
factory to honor our heroes. » t
way
In a letter to Chairman Holder
the Clevelond editor declared that
the network of good roads leading
into the North Georgia recreation
center is gradually being completed 4
The new bridge is located on
route No. 11 of the State Hignway
Department. This route runs from
Gainesville to Cleveland thence to
Blairsville and is one of the main
trunk highways leading into the
mountains.
Efforts are now being made to
obtain appropriations from the gov¬
ernment for the construction of a
system of highwgys through the
Nantaliala and Cherokee national
forests. The government system
would be constructed so as to con¬
nect with the main trunk lines lead¬
ing to Atlanta.—Atlahta Georgian.

FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS
WITHDRAWN
Appropriations made by the federal
government for fighting the venereal
diseases have been gradually yeduced
since the war closed, and quite like
i ty will soon be entirely withdrawn,
the government taking the position
that man pow%r Is not now a need of
our army, but is a local problem,
therefore, the state, county and city
should do the work. In withdrawing
federal aid the government urges the
necessity of continuing the fight.
Many thousands of dollars have been
spent in our state along this line;
much good has been accomplished;
thousands of cases have been success¬
fully treated and thousands of exam¬
inations and diagnoses have been
made. The work should continue and
the cities, counties and state should
put up the necessary funds.

.Dear Sir :
I am intensely interested
in helping to establish a Poultry,
Dairy a^id Cheese producing com¬
munity that will take care of the
local demand for farm products
Jjsere in Georgia, and cater to the
extensive tourist trade that will
come your way in another year or
two. If the folks, as a whole, gel
together and do something, 1 will
pay your county a visit at my first
opportunity and explain my idea
of 1 “Swiss Colony Idea" with a
community house where the home
folks can make their own working
clothes and toy Swiss dolls and
other saleable articles that will help
put ; your county on the map.
There h only one sure way of de¬
veloping a community, and that is
by clftiug something and getting
result*.
J* have talked this matter over
-wiil] Mr. James A. Holloman, and
He will write you what’s what,
about my idea. Mr. J. A. Ilollo
. man stated that you were one of
i the most progressive boosters for
better roads and farming co'11
tjions in your county, and Union
and Towns as well. Here is hop¬
ing I will be able to get in with
you and help you make The
Cleveland Courier, the origonal
“Go Getter" newspaper published

man, if llie present plans do not
miscarry.
I am desirous of obtaining the
following information as it will
give me a better chance to explain
my idea, if 1 know just what kind
of folks farm the Nacoocliee valley
and where would be the logical
point or place to establish a Swiss
Community Idea : wb re the motto
will be work part: of the day at
the community plant. This will
give eacli worker a weekly pay and
at the same time he or she can
attend to improving the home
grounds or else make saleable toys
or other wares that will help ad¬
vertise the county to the folks at
large.

eastern Fair is /over and 1 can
transfer my (lock of high grade
poulty to a convenient farm in

What folks need is some recreation

casted to the pleasure seekers.
Well lime is hoping- you write

THE HUMAN DAIRY t f
New Life Saving Enterprise
Everyone vitb a grain of sense
knows that the natural and best food
for the human baby is human milk.
Everybody, even the most foolish,
knows that the mother should nurse
her offspring, yet some mothers do
not have milk enough find others are
so stingy and selfish that they won't
nurse their babies. All doctors and
statistici us know that artificially fed
babies 1 nmlly are sickly and often
die, so a new industry, we can so
call it, iir.d come into existence In
New York and Chicago, the collecting
and sale of human milk. This life
saving food is worth its weight In
gold t > a starving infant, and all of
the n i!k offered finds a ready sale.
Mothers with babies who have more
milk than their own baby can con¬
sume, go twice a day to the dairy to
be milked or to milk, themselves.
They are paid 10c per ounce for their
mib. and some mothers can spare as
arch as ten or twelve ounces. One
Italian .mother took her sick baby to
i dinlc for treatment; it was having
' ioinach trouble and bowel dlstub
ince. The physicians found that It
ivas being overfed and advised the
mother to let it nurse less often and
jot so much. She went by their ad
rice; the baby improved. These clr
rmpjrtances came to the notice of a
risking niifse, and she persuaded the
mother to go to the Dairy. She did
10 , and In one year sold $968 worth
Jf food. No telling how many lives
ihe savod and how many parents were
made happy by seeing their starving
tables made round and plump.
Milk from nM klnde of mothers is
laken; it is made safe by pasteuriza¬
tion. It has been found th- . by add¬
ing a little human milk to cows, goat
sr other milk, some unknown element
Is given It that causes it to agree with
the babies. We will watch the prog¬
ress of the Human Dairy with a great
leal of ^-“pfpst
Every burn Into this wo*-ld has
the.ngji. torn healthy and well,
You that you are physi
cal’ 3 a parent.
Do orget to swat the fly; make
it your dally business to kill every
one that gets into the house.
