Chinese Doctors.

There is a Chinese prOverb
"Soldiers may not be needed for
a hundred years, but cannot be
dispensed with for single day
This same theory is carried out
in China in regard to health. To
cure disease is difficult, and so
the effort is made to avoid or pre-
vent illness. In China the doctors
are engag ed by the year. They
are paid, not to give treatment
in sickness, but to keep their
patients in health. If they fail,
their pay is reduced according to
the number of visits they have to
make to sick patients.
We are capable of being Chi
nese doctors unto ourselves. We
now realize that the Chinese
have the correct idea Of the doe
tor, and we study to-day, not only
how to cure our ills, but how to
prevent them. We must not wait
until the disease comes, but antic-
ipate it and strike before. When
we do not observe the rules of
health, or Overtax our strength,
and sickness comes upon us, we
have failed, and like the Chinese
doctor We must pay for it, not
alone in money, but in suffering,
and some of us in want.
How are we to become good Chi
nese doctors? If we are to be
good ones We must learn the sim
pie fundamental laws of health
and hygiene. Foremost, we must
breathe clean air! Eat clean
food! Drink clean water! Have
clean homes! Have clean bodies!
Live clean lives! This sounds like
the simple and natural thing to
do, but how many Of us really do
ltY Did you ever stop to think |
about the air you We're breathing
INTO your lungs or the water you
were drinking? If we should |
look We'll into these simple, every
day things, we would soon become
good Chinese doctors. Let us
learn how to prevent sickness
from coming upon us as the doe
'ors across the waters do-let us
earn to avert illness in order to
ave our families from suffering.

BOttle-fed babies are the mos

diarrhea, and this fact furnishes
another strong argument in favor
Of breast feeding. .Diarrhea in a
bottle-fed baby is also best treat
ed by reducing the amount of
food. The bottle should be
omitted for s, II or "a hours, ac-
cording to the severity Of the at

should be given as much boiled
and cooled water as the baby will
take.
Food should not be withheld
for more than "a hours. without
the advice of doctor. When the
bottle is resumed, the food should
be much weaker than before :;
water should be substituted for
at least half the milk previously
given. The milk should be
SKINNED. and the sugar omitted.
The return to the former feed
ing should be made gradually by
adding a little more milk each
day and beginning to add sugar.
The more severe the attack has
been. the more slowly should

If the baby is on mixed"

PEACE DISCUSSION.

Rotterdam, Via London, Aug

A GOOD ROADS LESSON.

Says the Neshoba Democrat
We had one of the best lessons
thrown up to us a few days ago
of the value of good roads we
have ever had. There was a gen
tleman here from Indianapolis
looking at a tract of $40 acres OF
land about 6 miles from here, on
which he wanted to establish a
hog farm. He admitted the land
was what he wanted and even
surpassed what it had been rep
resented to him as to quality. He
also said the price was ridiculous
ly low. He never closed the trade
for the land while here, but said
it was what he wanted and told
the owner if he did not take it he
could attribute it to one cause
alone, that was, using his own
words. these d roads we had
III this country" Now, this is a
true story. yet we have some peo-
pie who are content with the
present system and We actually
know one man who stopped his
paper because we have been untir
ing in our efforts for better roads.

WARSAW HOSTAGES TAKEN

Poland, according to the Amster-

follows:

Your city is in German hands but
We wage war against only hostile
troops, not against peaceful citi-
Gems. Peace and order shall be
preserved and rights protected.
81 expect the citizens of War
saw to undertake no hostile ac-
ton, to trust German sense and
justice and obey the instructions
Of German commanders. 1t has
however, come to the knowledge
of the German military COM
anders that the enemy has
prepared attacks AGAINST the
safety of our troops in Warsaw.
Therefore, | am compelled to
take as hostages leaders and
most prominent citizens of the
town who will be pledged for the
security Of our troops.
With you rests the lives of
these fellow citizens of yours. It
is the duty therefore of any one
who has any knowledge of a de-
sign to make attacks of any kind
promptly to notify the German
authorities in the interests of his
fellow citizens as well as the
peace and safety of Warsaw. Who
ever is guilty of negligence in
this respect or gives assistance to
attacks must expect to pay the
death penalty"

Rules for Correspondents

Here are ten rules for newspa-
per correspondents, which were
prepared by an experienced news
paper man. Persons writing mat
ter for publication in THE HER
AID will confer a favor by con-
forming with these rules.
l. Do not abbreviate. Do not
write Mr.. & Mrs, but Mr.. and
Mrs. not Mon. or Sat, but Mon
day or Saturday.
2. Leave space between items
for corrections or additions.
3. Give both initials. Write
C. H. Brown instead of'Mr. Brown
or Mr.. C. Brown.
4. Write important subjects
fully. Do not dismiss the death of a
well known pioneer in half doz-
en- words, but write something OF
interest concerning him. If sui
eide or murder give all the details
you can get.
S. Have verbs agree with sub
ject. Don't say Mr.. and Mrs. b.
was, but Mr.. and Mrs. B. were.
Mr.. and Mrs. B. may be one script
urally. But they are two gram
matically.
6. Don't use nicknames. Use
James Brown instead OF jim
Brown, Edward instead of Ed.
7. Give the time in an item.

house burned down, are incom-

10. Write your name and town

that the newspaper know from

called the Observation-Disclosures or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering of rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that CAPT
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. II all
the leading farmers of a neighbor-
hood would lay their heads together

the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than If they work secretly,

RURAL SCHOOL Term
SHOULD Be EXTENDED
BY p. p. Ciaxton,
Y. s. Commissioner of Education.


In most States school days for
country children are fewer than for
city children. The average length OF
school term in cities of the United
States is one hundred and eighty
Ave days; In rural communities one
hundred and thirty-eight days, diff
ference of forty-seven days. In some
States the difference is much greater
than this average. In many counties
the average length of the rural
school term is less than one hum
bred days, and In some districts 1t Is
less. On the other hand, In the
States of California, New York and
Connecticut, the country schools are
In session one hundred and eighty
days in a year, and in several other
States almost as long The country

dren at least as many days as are
now given to city children. One
hundred and eighty-five days OF
schooling a year for all children will
not be too much. There are coun-
tries in which the schools, both for
city and country, are in session from
two hundred and twenty to two hun
dred and fifty days or more in the
year. American children need as
much education as those Of any 9TH
er country, and this applies to the
rural as we'll as urban districts.
