appalling proclamation has been
founded. How many near-girls of the

If there were any good reason for

evidence in that direction has been
supplied.
For young women to assert their

uncommon, but it usually happens that
sooner or later, for one reason or an

New York Packer


Washington, Dec. 27.-The work
accomplished by the cooperative eff
forts of the officials charged with the
enforcement of the federal food and
drugs act and the officials who en-
force State laws regulating COM
merce in similar products is outlined
in the annual report of the chief of
the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, which has
just been published. The report
states that such cooperation has
been more effective than ever before
owing to the manner in which the
office of State Cooperative Food and
Drug control has conducted it's work.
This Office was established in 1914
for the purpose of making food and
idrug law enforcement more effective
by facilitating the systematic ex-
change of information regarding law
violations and methods of detecting
them between federal and state Of
ficials and among officials of the va
rious states. In the absence of some
lquick method of distributing such
information it might be possible fol

GoRIZIA FALLS AFTER
VIOLENT FIGHTING

Paris, Aug. 10.-"The city of Corr
zia was virtually in our possession at
ter the evening of Aug. when the for
tifications west Of the city were taken
by assault by the third army and oul
forces crossed the Isonzo, notwith
standing the destruction of bridges by
the enemy" says a semi-official state
ment forwarded from Rome by the Ha
vas agency.
"Our advance attack on the mair
bridge began Aug. 6, so that in a
battle of three days the most impor
tant fortified position on the Isonzc
front fell into our hands. 1t was car
ried as the result of one of the mos
violent attacked on fortified position
that has taken place in the European
war. 1t should be remembered thai
Austria had given particular attention
to the Notifications of Gorilla which
owing to the difficult nature of the
ground and the manner in which the
heights Had been fortified, were re
garded as impregnable."

Was Badly Mashed And Died Two

Vienna, Aug. Hilary Royal, a
negro employed in the engine room
of the Empire Cotton Oil Co., at this

Clean Hands

Disease germs lead a hand to mouth
existence. sIf the human race would
learn to keep theh unwashed hand
away from the mouth many human
diseases would be greatly diminished.
We handle infectious matter more or
less constantly and we continually
carry the hands to the mouth. If the
hand has recently been in contact
with infectious matter the germs of
disease may in this way be introduced
into the body. Many persons wet their
fingers with saliva before counting
money. turning the pages of book,
or performing similar acts. In this
case the process is reversed, the in
lection being carried to the object han
died, there to await carriage to the
mouth OF some other careless person.
In view of these facts the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service has formulated the
following simple rules of personal gy-
giene and recommends their adoption
by every person in the United States.
Wash the hands Immediately before
eating. before handling, preparing or
serving food, after using the toilet, af-
ter attending the sick, and after hand
ling anything dirty.

Washington, Aug 12.-To help ne
gro boys become practical farmers,
and to assist negro girls in becoming
competent housewives, the u. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture, in coopera-
tion with the state colleges, is organ
izing throughout the south, Farm Ma
kers' Clubs for rural negro children
This activity, begun experimentally
last year by the Office of Extension
work, south, has grown rapidly, and
already is thoroughly organized in
Virginia. North Carolina, Florida, Mis-
sissippi. The work also is being car
ried on to some extent in each of the
other southern states.
The chief object of these clubs is
to encourage negro farmers, particul-
arly in the cotton sections, to raise
some food instead of devoting their
entire attention to a single crop
In the clubs for boys, the typical
plan is to encourage and help the mem
bers to use an acre, one-half of which
is devoted to corn, one-fourth to pota-
toes, and one-fourth to peanuts. This
teaches desirable rotation, and at
the same time furnishes three food
products for human consumption, and
two that are useful for cattle or hogs.
The girl members of these clubs re
ceive instruction in gardening, can
ming, cooking, and housekeeping.
According to reports, the county
superintendent of schools and teach
ers of negro elementary schools are
supporting the work actively, and
state agricultural colleges and the
technical schools established for the
race are active cooperators in the lar
ger phases of the work.
