Disease Redps It's
Harvest In Sprinq
Means Are Suggested to
Mothers For Saving Chill
dren From Contagion.

The Better Babies movement which
was started by the WOman's Home
Companion is now two years old. In
the following paragraph taken from
the March WOman's Home Companion
appears a brief statement Of what has
been done:
In the past two years 100000
babies have been examined by the
Better Babies Standard Score Card
alone, and fully twice as many moth
crs and mothers have heard lectures on
the care of their children because of
the contests at which these babies
were examined Womens clubs are
giving over more and more time to
child hygiene programs Boards of
health are holding large and enthusi-
astic meetings Churches are organic
ing mother clubs and cradle rolls with
interesting practical talks to mothers
on child culture. In short education
in the care OF the child. and in prac-
teal parenthOod, has become a ma
tion-wide interest"
In the March -etter Babies depart
ment, appears a special page for
mothers in which special emphasis is
laid on the fact that this is the season
when contagious diseases reap their
harvests among infants and children.
The most common acute contagious
diseases are diphtheria, wf1Ooping
cough, scarlet FEVER ana measles, all
of which are preventable. In the fol-
lowing extract taken from tn page,
suggestions are given as to how TO
prevent your children from cOntagion:
Keep your home well ventilated
and free from dust germs.
Keep your garbage container COW
cred and free from leaks.
Keep your back yard clean. Never
throw out dishwater to freeze, melt
and breed germs.
Teach your children to avoid other
children who have bad colds, espe-
tally WI COPY coughs; who have
shes, or whose skin is peeling off, or
whose Threats are tied up.
Train your children to wash their
hands before eating, to avoid public
drinking cups and towels. and to buy
no food from stands, carts or baskets
unprotected from dust.
Send for your doctor if your usual
~ active child turns dull, istless and
complaining, or if your baby who
cannot complain, shows any of these
symptoms: Dry hot skin; persistent
vomiting; fretfulness and wakeful-
ness; sneezing and coughing; lack of
appetite, refusing breast or bottle at
the usual time"

Mysterious Chimney-Swift.

Much has been learned about
bird migration but much yet re-
mains to be learned, and the fol-
lowing is one of the most curious
and interesting of the unsolved
problems. The chimney-swift is
one of the most abundant and
best-known birds of eastern
United States. With troops of
fiedglings catching their winged
prey as they go, and lodging by
night in tall chimneys, the flocks
drift slowly south joining with
other bands, until on the north
ern coast of the Gulf of Mexico
they become an innumerable host.
Then they disappear. Did they
drop in the water or hibernate in
the mud, as was believed of old,
their obliteration could not be
more complete. In the last week
in March a joyful twittering fan
overhead announces their return
to the Gulf coast, but their hid
ing place during the intervening
five months is still the swift's
secret.

To The Editor
Will you please publish the
following for the benefit of the
poultry raisers in your county:
AS a representative of the
Poultry Investigational Division
of the United States Department
of Agriculture, l travel over miles
and miles of territory in this
state, and from the car windows
| see many new poultry houses
Just completed or in the course
of construction. A great major
ity of these are totally unfit for
the housing of poultry.
There is little excuse for this
state of affairs as the Poultry
Department at Washington, and
that department of your State
Agricultural College, are prepar-
ed to furnish information regard
ing the construction of simple,
practical and up to date poultry
houses.
If there is any farmer in this
county who is thinking of build
ing a new poultry house or re-
modelling an old one and desires
such information, write to me in
care of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station, Lexington. Ken

Yours very truly,

Fire-Blight.

Fire-Blight is undoubtedly the
most serious disease that con-
fronts the Kentucky fruit grower
to-day. San Jose Scale is no
longer dangerous when trees are
properly sprayed. The aphis is
easily controlled as are all the
other greatly feared troubles OF
the past. After all the other
orchard troubles have been sue
cessfully met and conquered, it
is very discouraging to see a
promising crop of fruit ruined in
a short time. In fact blight has
been termed the Great Black
Plague of the fruit industry. 1t
has been estimated that it carries
an annual loss of $25, 900, 900 to
the country.
Blight is a preventable disease,
and in view of the tremendous
losses occasioned by it, a syste-
matte effort should be made to
check it.
Pears and apples are more sub
to attack than are any of the
.er fruits. In fact the writer
'uld not urge the planting of
lmercial pear orchards in Ken
~ for the time being, until
IRE definite means of control
'e beer prked out. Certain
ties = .pples are more sus-
lethal -hers and is well
"onsitsr this

point in making an extensive
planting.
Blight is caused by a minute
germ or organism that lives dur
ing the dormant season. These
cankers are formed at the base
of the fruit spurs, on the branches
and in extreme cases on,the larg-
err limbs and trunk of the tree.
Every fruit grower should ac-
quaint himself with the appear
ance of the canker and destroy it
as soon as noticed. If every can
ker could be disposed of, blight
could be held in control.
Blight usually appears shortly
after the blossoming period and
is first noticed when the blossoms
and tips begin to wiltand blacken.
Often the tips of the branches
only are affected. In other in
stances it may extend down the
twig or branch, killing it as it
progresses. The twigs and
leaves appear as if they had been
scorched by fire, hence the term
fire. blight.
1t is almost impossible to cut
out all the diseased twigs on a
badly blighted tree during the
growing season. Fire-Blight is
a problem involving the commun-
ity, hence, an organized endeavor
should be made to check it.
Learn to recognize the disease in
its various stages, clean up the
orchard and encourage your
neighbor to do the same thing.
Do not be misled regarding the
so. called blight cures. There
is no patent cure and no one
should ever attempt to cure blight
by spraying, incubation, or soil
doctoring. Insects, particularly
aphis and ants, spread blight.
Use the sprays against these if
necessary.

Anew Suggestions for Boosting
West Liberty.

80 -" SSS"SSAS AVA AS~S'AAsS
west Liberty.
Don't be the man who put sit
in city.
Building good houses builds a
good town.
Save a little money and save a
lot of worry.
Good roads lead not only to
town, but to money.
Be a live one and the town will
never be a dead one.
A nice front porch has prevent
ed many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle
dogs and not muzzle knockers?
When someone plans to help
the town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans man can have
to the future are house plans.
A good way to make the world
better is to begin on the home
town.
A good town will do more to
keep the boys at home than good
advice.
A town is like a perambulator;
it isn't much good unless it is
pushed.
Be like a ball player. The
thing he is always working for
is home.
If you think a cow can't laugh
for joy, let somebody sell you a
good silo.
A town is like a girl. It's Won
derful what a little fixing up will
do for her.
Don't spend all your time tell
ing what you could do if you had
some time.
1t improves the soup to throw
a little pepper in it. Same way
with a town.
If you spend all the money you
earn, some other fellow is bank
ing your money.
Let's not be trying to stop
something all the time. Let's
start something.
Don't look for soft snaps, the
hard snaps are the ones that have
the ginger in them.
Don't be a crouch. Every.
body in this town wishes you
well, even the doctors.
If you would like to have some
body working for you, put a lit.
tie money in the bank.
The world owes every man a
living, but the street corner is q
poor collection agency.
Opportunity knocks once at
every mans door; better be al
home when the lady calls.
Many a young man goes away
to seek his fortune when Fortune
is seeking for him at home.
Plaster your house and every
body will follow your example.
Lath and the world laths with
you.
You've got to be a citizen ir
order to vote; but you've got t
do a good deal more than vote tt

If you will consider the men Of
this town who are we'll off you
will find that most of them made
their money here.
The big things are not all done

The Carlisle independent., 1915-09-16

For little lads and lassies of six years, or under, suits and dresses for ordinary wear, are made of cotton or linen materials, the year round. This is in accordance with the increasing favor for wash fabrics in all apparel, which grows, along with the advance in cleanliness and knowledge of sani- tation. throughout the country. In the spring the young people are pro vided with lightweight cotton or linen clothing, and in the fall the heavy weaves are relied upon to furnish suits and dresses.
 This adoption of wash dresses has caused the numerous aprons formerly needed to disappear from the little girls wardrobe and has eliminated a lot of extra work. Very thick and heavy coats, leggings and other outer garments are provided for the little ones outdoor wear. but for indoors the mother guards against having her children too heavily clothed for com fort in the schoolroom or home kept sufficiently warm.
 Designs for wash dresses are only successful when they allow easy laun- dering. Two new and pretty models are shown here made of heavy linen or cotton rep, which comes in many attractive and stable colors. At the right, dress is shown in dark blue linen with plain collar and cuffs in white. A full-front panel is smocked (with white thread) at each side of the front opening. It fastens with small. fiat pearl buttons and loops of fine cord
 The dress hangs straight from the shoulders and is finished with three. inch hem. The sleeves are straight and gathered into the cuffs which turn back. They are cut three-quarter length.
 At the left a dress in brown rep is shown with collar. cuffs and pockets in white linen. There is a belt which can be detached when the dress is

It is the part of wisdom to make the most of the many passing fads in little accessories of dress that come and go every few weeks. They vary the monotony of the day in and day out" tailored suits which it is cenven- tent for the busy woman of the day to live in.
 Given one good tailored gown. plain, and in dark color, the resourceful maid or matron manages to ring all sorts of changes in her appearance by means of different blouses and dress accessories. Neckwear, millinery and girdles are the means by which she makes simply background of her un- obtrusive suit.
 These are especially important to the business girl or woman who may not give much time to dress. By means of them she manages toilette suitable to the cafe dinner or the theater or aft ernoon tea or any of the pleasures for which a little gayety in attire is needed.

Washing Channels Gloves.

It is remarkable how nicely chamois gloves come out if they are washed properly with tepid water on the hands Use white soap and rub it on plentifully, squeeze carefully and be sure you rinse them so as to get out all the dirt. Have the last water soapy. Take off the hands and put gently in dry towel Then place on the hands again and, as it is difficult to get them on wet, take a piece of clean white cloth and rub each finger on and they will go on with surprising ease.
 Mold them to the hands and arms, remove carefully and hang them over the fire by safety pins. rubbing them gently as they dry so they will not get stiff. If washed in this way they will be soft and pliable and as good as new. Be sure and mend before wash ing
