places the writer ever visited in

An Open Letter to Congressman
Thn M B*H-
Department of Agriculture.
Washington, July 7, 11)22..
Hon. Thomas M, Bell,
House of Representatives,
Dear Mr. Bell:
1 .consider your letter of June
28 as an invitation to furnish
further information as to the a
vailability of the National For
ests to health and pleasure seek
ers, and|an opportunity to give
you an idea as to how free from
restraint is such use.
I hope you will help in passing
the good word that the National
Forests are a public playground,
and it is desired that the public
use the forests to the fullest ex
tent. There Is absolutely no for
mality in the use of these lands.
The only restrictions imposed
are those designed to prevent
waste, defacement and monopo
ly. Forest fires waste the tim
ber, and the young growth is es
pecially hard hit, Forest fires
injure the watersheds, create an
unsightly landscape, deplete the
I forage, drive oat the game, and
strange as it may seem, are of
ten detrimental to fishing. Loss
of money and sometimes human
life results from fire. For these
•easons every one is asked to co
ope. at: in preventing tires.
The unwelcome guest of the
National Forest is the one who
defaces the trees, who leaves his
camp cluttered, and who does
not consider the health and feel
ings of the next occupant of the
place. Campers and others are
asked to observe the golden rule.
The monopoly of game or of a
desirable campground for priv
ate use would be distasteful to
every one except the person di
rectly benefitied. For the bone
lit of the general public, there
fore, the exclusive private use of
lanus for summer home sites
which are easily accessible to and
used by the public is of course
not allowed, and State game laws
are enforced,
A-- ti" u: o of the forests in-
reuses, 1 am free to predict that
there will be a sense of pride of
ownership or partnership in these
National Forests as they are pub
lic property and dedicated to
public use This knowledge of
partnership will no doubt in
crese Jthe popularity of the for
ests as playgrounds.
It should not be inferred from
the foregeing, that National For
ests in Georgia are highly devel
oped for playgrounds, It must
be remembered that only about
twenty five per cent of the so
called Purchase Unit has been
acquired, and until this condition
has been changed the land avail
able for public use will be limit
ed. This acquisition of lands,
together with the physical im
provements is going forward as
rapidly as appropriations permit.
Very sincerely yours,
Henry C. Wallace,
Secretary.
Summer Complaint.
Last yftir 7554 babies died dur
ing their first year; a large num
ber of these children died of gas
trointestinal conditions. Gastro
intestinal conditions are usually
called “stomach upsets” or ‘sum
„Tier complaint” generally mean
ing that the baby has diarrhoea
or dysentery. Ti e baby may die
of this or his strength may be so
undermined that he will die later
from even the mildest attack of
whooping cough, measlos, etc.
Mothers very frequently think
that all babies must have “sum
mer complaint,” that a is
hardly normal if he does not
havo at least one attack during
the summer. “Summer com*
plaint” is not abnormal condition
—it should not be lightly set a
side, It may result in a severe
illness and very frequently, as
thousands of death certificates
show every yecr, it may prove
fatal.
If the baby becomes'nauseous,
vomits, gets feverish and has
diarrhoea, do not think he is
teething, nor that his condition
may be neglected. A baby w'ith
Ulanliooa, especially diarrhoea
accompanied by nausea, vomit
ing and fever, is a sick baby and
needs the doctor. Stop all food
for 24 hours, or even longer. Give
him in place of food, water that
has been boiled |and cooled, a lit
tle at a time but very often. If
you can get it, give the baby
crushed ice in small amounts by
mouth. A twenty minute tub
bath with gentle rubbing given
one or more times a day will be
very comforting and will proba
bly save the baby from having
convulsions. Put an ice cap, iced
cloths or cloths wrung out in cold
water on his head, and if his feet
are cold put a hot water bottle
or hot cloths to his feet,
Remember that it is much more
important for you to take care of
your little sick brby than it is to
take care of a sick cow or a sick
mule. The baby is worth a great
deal more than your farm ani
mals; it takes a great deal more
intelligence and care to keep him
in good condition. Anything
that help you in the job of rais
ing a strong, healthy child,should
be worth more to you than any
thing that helps you with your
farm, your roads or anything
else in the world.
Cotton crepe bought by the
bolt and cut into yard lengths
will make economical and inex
pensive towels. They require no
ironing, leave no lint, besides
giving an extra pylish to glass
ware.
Sew a button on the'neckband
of the bov’s waist instead of
making a buttonhole. It will
always be there and there is no
stud to press on the back of the
neck.
When baking apples, prick the
skin with a fork and they will
cook without bursting.

FOR CONGRESS.
To the voters of the 9th Dist.
I respectfully announce as a
candidate for the democratic
nomination to the 68th Con
gress, subject to the rules and
regulations governing the Pri
mary September 13th.
I hope I may get the unani
mous vote of- the people and
will appreciate any interest
manifested in my election. ,
If my duties in behalf of the
people will permit, I shall per
sonally visit each county in the
district.
Sincerely yours.
THOMAS M. BELL.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
To the voters of Forsyth Coun
ty :
I am a candidate for Repre
sentative of Forsyth County,
Ga., subject to the action of the
Democratic Primary to be held
September 13th.
I have been a citizen of this
county for a long time and I
have never asked for an office
before. I feel a deep interest in
the entire county as well as its
people, and if elected to this
office I will use my best efforts
towards securing for the peo
ple measures which will be of
interest to us, and will at the
sametime oppose any new laws
as well as some we already
have which are a disadvantage
and expense rather than a bene
fit. I will appreciate the vote
and influence of all the people.
Very respectfully,
J. L. JOHNSON.
FOR STATE SENATOR.
To the voters of Forsyth Cos. :-
Believing that I can be of ser
vice to the people of this sec
tion, and desiring to make an
honest effort to do so, I hereby
announce myself a candidate
for the Georgia Senate subject
to the Democratic Primary, Sep
tember 13th.
I was raised on a farm in this
county and except for the time
I served in the military service
during the late war, the most
of my life has been spent a
mong the people here. It has al
ways been my desire to be of
service and treat my fellow
man fairly.
Here is my platfofm:—
30 day sessions for the leg
islature instead of 50.
The reduction of burdensome
taxes wherever possible.
The abolishment of foolish
laws now on the statute books,
put an end to grinding out so
many new laws and the better
enforcement of all law.
However, I would be in favor
of a bill to amend the present
automobile law by giving the
Sheriff of each county the pow
er to sell automobile tags, and
the Ordinary the power to
spend the money in each militia
district that is collected from
that district. I would also be in
favor of reducing the price ot
tags one-half if possible.
Your vote and influence will
be greatly appreciated. If elect
ed I will endeavor to conduct
myself in such a way that you
will never regret having voted
for me.
J. HOMER HARRIS.
When washing light colored
stockings add a tablespoon of
borax to the water. This re
moves stains made by shoes.
When ironing circular center
pieces or table cloths the iron
should follow the straight grain
of the cloth or the edges will not
be perfectly flat.
7- ''
When frying anything to be
rolled in meal, use half flour and
it will be found to brown better.
Rub butter over the top of
bread after taking from the oven
and wrap in a towel fb make a
rich and soft crust.
