Most DemoraIizing Factor in

commissioner OF health, is something
more than his periodic REF essay on
some pertinent topic. 1t strongly re.
fleets the new epoch which has az

who wanted to gei sucn declaration
out of his system might as well have
banded in his resignation simultan-

views. Doctor Dixon says:
Mad Race.

oned unto the opening of the d:att
doors under the tire-box Of Il locomo-

everything go until the machine is on

Il blood vessel. bursts, or a valve
gives way and the locomotive or the
human body becomes a useless wreck
and burden in the way.
I'm the case of the locomotive, the
suffering is confined to the living be-
ing it runs down; but in man, not
only the beings he Injuries or destroys
but he himself suffers after he has IL
reparably injured his physical body
and mental powers. He may lose an
arm, cripple his stomach, blood YES
sells or mind. and become a charge
on his family or the community.
In the case of the locomotive, II
IS only a piece Of uncontrolled, inant-
mate machinery; but in man it often
means setting to run amuck piece
of the most inventive animal life ever
recorded in history. When drunk, he
may spend his last cent on foolish

Sets All Laws at Naught.

"a drunken man is the most dar-

beast, Is a menace to every one with
whom he comes in contact.

OF the matter is that these are usually
far easier than some of the simpler

have harmful germs in it, it does not

right temperature, and the elements
composing it are in the right proper

they are suited to the digestion of the
baby.
Bottle feeding cannot be avoided,
however, in some cases, and it may
give results if the material fed is pure
cows milk, modified in such a way
as to make it as nearly like human

Heat depresses the baby's strength
and makes him a ready prey to any

dirty milk. Heat also causes the germs
that get into the milk to multiply in
great numbers and to throw off toxins
which poison the milk.

the milk should be obtained from a
herd of tuberculin tested cows, it
should be clean as can be obtained,
and should be kept on ice from the
time it is MIXED until it is time to
give it to the infant The milk should
then be warmed and given at once.
The giving of solid foods to little
babies is especially to be avoided. Such
foods are too strong for the weak di-
gestive juices of the baby, and in

HARRIS OPPOSES HARDWICk
IN SENATORIAL RACE

Atlanta, Aug 15.-While visiting in
Atlanta from Washington last week,
Hon w. j. Harris a member of the
Federal Trade Commission announc-
ed to a number of his friends that he
would be a candidate for United
States Senator to succeed Thos. w.
Hardwick This is going to be the
next big political fight in Georgia.
The campaign will not start until some
time next year as Senator Hardwick's
term of office does not expire until
March, 1919.
Mr. Harris is understood to have
decided at this time to become a can
didate for the Senate because Sena-
tor Hardwick has proven something
of a hindrance to the National Dem
ocratic administration at Washington
He seems to be out of sympathy with
the administration in many ways.
Mr.. Harris talked to several people
while in Atlanta and when he left it
was with the general understanding
that at the proper time he will make
his formal announcement as a can
didate for the senate.
