sicians directly to carelessness on the
part of the mother.
Preparations for keeping the baby
clean start before he is born. In a
drawer or basket covered from dust,
should be placed a number of old, soft,
clean towels, thoroughly washed and
dried piece of soft wooden blanket
or outing flannel, a roll of sterilized
cause, at least half pound in quantity
and the same of sterilized absorbent
cotton, bottle of olive or cotton
seed or sweet oil, small package of
boric acid, some pure white soap or
the best CASTLE and a box of talcum
powder
A trained nurse of long experience
in maternity cases tells me that the
modern doctor looks first to the new
born baby's eyes. Science has proven
that large portion of men and women
who are blind owe the afiiiction to
lack of care at birth. The eyes are
easily infected at that time, and blind
ness is the inevitable result.
This nurse starts babys career by
washing out his eyes very gently with
piece of gauze, dipped in weak so
luton of boric acid, directly she has
applied the sterilized dressing to the
cord. Then she rubs baby from hea6
to foot with the oil mentioned above
rolls it up in the soft, warm blanket
lays it on its right side and turns hel
attention to the mother, feeling sure
that baby's eyes are safe from infec
ton.
Later she gives the baby its frs
sponge bath of warm water and pur'
soap, taking infinite care not to dis
turb the dressing of the cord. Afte
the bath she washes out baby's moutl
with gauze and a weak solution o
boric acid, and throws this piece O
gauze away. With second piece O
gauze and more of the acid solution
she then gives baby's eyes a secon
washing, dresses him, feeds him an
tucks him away for his first sleep i
, perfect cleanliness and perfect con
fort At first she uses sterilized gauz
for all wash purposes, with old, sol
linen or toweling for drying. TIL
, gauze is then burned, each towt
washed and dried before it is use
again. Later baby, when year oil
, has a soft wash rag and towels of hi
own, which no one else is permitte
) to use, and there are washed an
dried as scrupulously as his clothing

that will weigh heavily upon other Fed
eral improvements such as the naviga-
bility OF streams. The Roads Committee
appears to have in mind three methods
by which it can obtain National funds for
public roads: First TO construct military
roads; second. to construct postal roads,
which means every road over which the
postal or free rural delivery service sends
a horse or wagon; third, interstate com
merce roads. which of course. means
roads Of Almost every possible descrip-
ton.
In the last Congress the Rivers and
Harbors Bill was criticized very largely
by the advocates of public buildings. who
wanted to secure appropriations for their
respective localities throughout the
United States; and it is TO be expected
that contrasts will now be made by the
good roads people to show that rivers
and harbOrs ought TO wait until the roads
of the interior of the country are fiuan-
cially cared for. 1t is only another evi-
dence Of the necessity for activity along
the Eastern seaboard. Almost everv
new proposition demanding Government
support has arisen and been taken care
Of since the Delaware and Raritan Canal
was built IN 1884, and YET We are stlll
doing business upon that inadequate
stream. Mississippi River apprOpria-
tons for fOed purposes have grown
into the hundreds of millions without
any marked advance in commerce since
tas completion Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal in 1925, and yet We are
still begging Congress to open up the
latter for the free use Of the people.
Every food on the Ohio or Mississippi
takes out of the public treasury more

lease from their commercial bondage

yzIuzzt Of common diseases, with a full
and setailed description of the important
diseases affecting fowls and the rene
dies which have been found effective.
C0ztagiOus diseases and the larger
yEauasites are the most important Obsta:
>-tes which the pOultryman has to over
's=cne to keep his birds in a healthy CON
',1fIn3u- Preventive measures are the
11sst and also the cheapest, because, no
matter how large the first cost, the
great loss inflicted by an epidemic in
sEhich a number Of birds NAV die. is
saved. and also the indirect but even
greater loss. which the weakened con-
-iidoa and loss Of product cause, is elm
mated.
There are, of course, cases in which
medicines may be advantageously given
or applied TO sick fowls. but generally
speaking, it better to kill all sick birds
'aHd thus avoid the spread of disease to
many other birds in the flock. Then. a
sick bird is an indication that it is more
susceptible TO disease than the other
birds Of the flock, which, to be strong and
neal thy, must be relieved of the menace
Of delicate and susceptible members.
Even with focks practically free from
disease germs and parasites. it requires
eiIe utmost watchfulness and care to
maintain them in that condition. There
are a number of reasons given for this,
and nature and experience bought ad-
Vlca is given as to preparation and main
lEsRance Of poultry houses and yards free
from the germs and parasites which so
0ften turn a prosperous business into
another Of the many failures at poultry

WATERWAYS and ROADS.

In the June issue of the Bulletin of
the Atlantic Deeper Waterways AssO-
citation, President J. Hampton Moore
makes the following comment relative
to federal appropriations for public i'm
provement:
The waterways movement in the East
ern States, winch mas suffered more or
less in the matter Of Federal apprOpria-
tons because Of the prepOnderatng
claims of the Middle West, has an ad-
ditional reason for demanding continued
popular support by reason of the crea-
ton by Congress of q Committee on
Roads. The ease with which the Com
mittee on Roads was authorized and
created and the vigOr already put into
the good roads movement raises a very
important question with regard to Fed
eral appropriations which may give con-
Germ to delayed waterway projects along
the Atlantic seabOard. The good roads
movement is popular because it appeals
TO the rural districts of the country. and
to a certain extent is backed by the auto
mobiists, who give promise of ample
demands upon the public treasury TO
keep the public roads in repair. When
it was suggested that Federal appro-
priations for country roads was not alto
gether the function of the Government
as evidence by the teachings of the JEFF
fersOnians. the answer Of the good roads
advocates was that Federal money was
appropriated for rivers and harbors and
that no good reason existed why roads
should not be similarly treated. While
there Is some logic in this reply, it is.
nevertheless, true that waterways ap-
preparations have been made upon the
theory that they would promote com
merce and navigation, and it is very diff
ficult to determine how one State, which
might very properly look after the roads
of its own counties. could be made TO pay
for the improvement of the Mississippi
River, which trayerses many States. or
Of the port of New York, for instance,
which does international business. The
Government refused 90 build the Erie
Canal. and New York built itat the ex-
pense of the people of New York, and
vet under the new road proposition, al
though New York has paid enormously
for its county roads. it will be expected
to bear its proportion of the expense Of
building roads 10 every section of the
country, and perhaps under local rather
than Federal superin ntendence. There is
no disposition anywhere to delay the i'm
provement Of roads. Everybody ac-
knowledges the public necessity that
exists for them; but it is patent to every
one that, if county roads are to be i'm
proved at the expense of the FederalGOv-
ernment, and the States and counties are
to be relieved Of this responsibility, then
q new financial burden must be assumed

GOOD ROADS.

A very interesting discussion of the
present road system of this Peninsula
is contained in the address Of Logan ".
Page. at the meeting of the Horticult-
ural Society in Wilmington, last Jan
uary Mr. Page first calls attention TO the
fact that within 200 miles Of this PENN
sula are fourteen cities Of more than
80, 900 population each, ard SIX cities Of
more than 800. 600 each that the ag-
gregate population of the twenty cities is
more than 9, 00O, 900, This garden spot
Of ours, therefore. lies within easy
access of one tenth Of the population Of
the entire country. and at the very gate
of the greatest market center OF the
world. The facilities for reaching these
markets are excellent Our soil and eli
mate are eminently adapted to trucking
and fruit growing. and, Mr.. Page says,
ARE hardly surpassed IN this respect by
any other section of our country.
Mr.. Page proceeds to say that not with
standing these favorable circum-
stances. the progress Of this Peninsula
is not at all that might be expected.
Gratifying progress has been made, but
Il has been somewhat restricted and its
centimity broken. On this Peninsula
are 1871, ,677 acres of improved land.

age distance Of 3. Is mites. If We as
sumo that 30 per cert Of this tonnage
passes over % per cent of the roads, by
improving this % per cent of roads we
would effect a saving of five cents per
ton mile, an annual saving of Sl55. 752.
Why should not this saving be capi-
talized 50 as to help pay for improv-
ing the % per cent of roads? In your
territory there are g. 742 miles of public
roads. Of which about five per cent have
already been improved, %: per cent of
this mileage would be l. 94S miles, and
if from this We deduct the 5 per cent
already improved. We find remaining for
Improvement only !, ,46l miles. To capi-
talize the annual saving shown above, we
find thatit will pay FIVE per cent inter
