Care of the Baby In Summer

, from insects.
In going to a new place with a baby
all the drinking water, and the milk
also, should be boiled, if from
strange supply about the cleanliness
Of which the mother knows nothing.
To travel comfortably with a baby,
the first thing to be considered is his
food. If the baby is breast fed no
trouble will be experienced For a
bottle baby enough feelings must be
prepared at home to last throughout
the entire journey, unless the trip
takes longer than twenty-four hours.
1t is best to sterilize the milk for this
purpose as follows:
Stand the filled bottles in a kettle
over the fire and let the water boil
about them for an hour and a half.
After boiling the bottle should be
gradually cooled, and then made as
cold as possible by standing them in
a pail of cracked ice. They may be
packed in a small portable refrigera-
tor. Many types of these have been
devised, and may be purchased. A
portable ice-box may be made at home
as follows:
Use two covered tin pals. one an
inch or two smaller than the other, so
that it may stand inside the larger
pail. Fill the space between the two
with sawdust; put the bottle with
cracked ice in the inner pei and cover
Doth tightly land make a canvas or
flannel cover for the whole.
To warm the bottle for the baby. the |
mother should provide herself with an |
enameiled wac pitcher holding a pint,
which the porter will fill with warm
water from the dining car. Set the
bottle in it, after the water has cooled
little so that the sudden heat will
not be sufficient to break the bottle.
The next most troublesome question
IN long journey with a baby is how
o take care of the diapers. A sepa-
ate bag or basket with rubber sheet
ng should be provided for them, and
With them may be packed a small
namelled ware chamber.
For young baby a number of inner
ads of soft paper or old cloth which
an be destroyed should be provided. |
When one of these is soiled, wrap it
p tightly in newspaper and throw it !
way. Wet diapers may be tightly
1lled and kept in the rubber bag. =
The two most common mistakes
ade in travelling with children are
it'll respect to their clothes and their a
cd. In the hot summer weather, for /.
long journey, the little child should q

irt and diaper, with one thin outer h

Retrenchment Rampant.

I Senatobia, Miss Aug. I4.-That
economy and retrenchment has
been the successful political slo-
gan in the recent primaries IN
Mississippi is we'll known, but
Tate County has a candidate for
county office, who is going some
with the retrenchment id a.
Some few Of the planks >. his
platform are these: If elected he
will vote to abolish the office of
county farm demonstrator. COun-
ty canning club agent, county
prosecuting attorney He will
reduce the salary of the county
superintendent OF education from
SI25 per month to $50. Require
all county officers to buy their
coal for the office, also all stamps
and stationery and pay Office rent.
He will remove all telephones
and electric lights from the Off
ces at the courthouse; also tear
down the newly erected county
agricultural school building and
sell the brick for soc per thous-
and; abolish the contract system
of working the roads and make it
a felony, with the death penalty
attached, for any person to drive
an automobile over the public
roads of the county or Within
sight or in hearing of the county
line. And while there is nothing
in his platform preventing the
women from using cooking stove
or the men from wearing bought
galluses" some apprehension IS
felt for these modern convenien-
ccs. Exchange.

HOW TO RAISE THE
PRICE OF COTTON.
BY PHILIP GOODMAN.

huoW bud1 O1c pTeVdliluS pIiCC
of cotton is seldom above the
cost of prodnction The ques-
ton is. how does this come a6oute
One of the main issues involved
is the by product of the cotton
seed called LINlERS. It comes
into direct competition with reg
ular cotton, and consequently
the cotton trade suffers year
after year from oyer production.
Frem the fall of 1914 up to the
July report of this year approx
mately three-fourths Of a million
bales OF these inters we're man.
ufactured from cotton seed OF
last years crop, and during the
past five years the total stock Of
llnters produced by the Southern
OIL Mills did reacn a grand total
of about 81 million bales.
Linters are used largely in the
manufacture of gun cotton,
smokeless powder and other ex.
plosives, and being cheaper than
cotton is used in preference to
the regular staple, right here
coming into direct competition
with cotton. An expert of the
largest powder plant IN America
Is authority for the statement
that from Is to 90 percent of the
weight of all explosives used in
Europe at this time Is derived
from cotton Secretary Hester
10 his July report under date Of
August 7th. 1915, gives the
amount of linters consumed IN
this country during this season
as 3950O0 bales, an increase over
last year of $4,000 bales. The
warning nations of Europe have
used thus far this season approx.
imately 3 million bales of linters.
Therefore the price OF linters
has almost doubled in value,
while our regular cotton has
declined to a price almost below
the cost of production. Itis
suicidal policy TO the whole
South TO continue manufacture
ing linters for the express pur-
pose only to lower the price of
our cotton. and to keep 1T at Z.
low ebb year after year. 1t was
a very difficult proposition to
sell any cotton shorter than three
fourth inch staple during the
fall of 1914. and all on account
of the Ilnters competition. Ii
the world is deprived OF linters
they will gladly buy any kind of
cotton they can get, and cotton
will be King once more.
Statistics show approximately 4
and three fourths million bales OF
the 1914 cotton crop yet on
hand. This cotton will come
forward on the market In addi-
ton to this years 1915 crop. IL
the OIL Mills of the South had
not manufactured any linters
these past 5 years, the surplus
OF cotton now would be very
small. and consequently the price
Of cotton now would be about
$1,000 per bale higher than it
really is.
We have the remedy in hand
if we will but use it, by stopping
the manufacture of linters In all
cotton producing states. This
will not affect the price of cot
ton seed in the least and We
should have the cooperation and
good will of every gin and oil
mill owner in the South in it's
behalf. By not manufacturing
lInters' the crushers will derive
