RURAL MARKETING BY
PARCEL POST IS TOLD
By DEPART MENT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-The
farmer who wishes to sell his products
by parcel post, and the housewife who
wishes to use this method of securing
country produce for her table, will
find many useful points in Farmers
Bulletin 703, Suggestions for Parcel
Post Marketing" This bulletin, in
addition to explaining the postal rates
and measurement limits for parcel
post matter, discusses in some detail
the types of containers which are
most successful and the methods of
grading and packing produce, so that
it will reach the consumed in good
condition, and be attractive in quality
and appearance. In treating stand
ards for parcel post shipments, the
bulletin tells no VITO select, handle
and pack poultry, and how to grade
and pack the various fruits and vege-
tables which the average farmer is
likely to market through the post
office.
The bulletin points out that one of
the common obstacles to establishing

control the bread or food supply Of
their prisoners in Germany. There
fore we must organize lie without di-
rect government support, but with the
that the Allied Govern
ments will give it semi-official recog-
milton without excroaching on the
Hague agreement.
Taking about 100000 French pris-
oners as basis. perhaps half of them
can be reached after by the efforts OF
families and friends in sending indi-
vidual packages. That leaves 10000
to be looked after daily. 1t takes 3
kilos of bread to supply one man ade-
Cuately for a month, or 100000 kilos

which l am trying to work out-all
resulting from this order. cutting off

supply is stopped.

see the serious effect of short bread
rations to prisoners" added Mr.. DOLL

France have been conveyed by Lyons
and other points in central France
and | have personally witnessed their
condition and heard their reports. For
example, in one party of 400 prison

ed tuberculosis from being in a fam
ished condition from lack of bread
they were literally emaciated skele-
tons striker with fatal disease. And
this was typical of the result of short
bread rations.
THE German ration to prisoners"
Mr.. Dollfus went on, us one small
loaf, about four inches in diameter, in
the morning. This is intended for
the day, but the famished men eat it
at once, and that ends their bread
supply for the day, only a soup being
given at noon. That is the reason we
have been pouring in this bread sup
ply, largely in bulk, but to individuals
SC far as they could be traced. 1t has
proved life-saver to thousands. And
yet by this order, this bread supply in
bulk is cut off.
"This can mean only another great
tragedy" said Mr.. DolIfus, and 1 am
convinced there must be a purpose
behind such a move-a purpose to
force the Allies to consider terms of
peace, rather than see their see their
own people dying Of starvation. And
we expect also that if the bulk supply
Is cut off this will soon be followed
by cutting off the individual packages,
en- the ground that it is too great an
undertaking to distribute these in
dividual daily supplies. And so we are
faced with the present stoppage of
the bulk supply and the probable stop
page of the remaining invidual supply,
I am seeking as best as possible to
meet this condition, by organizing a
complete service of individual pack
ages, but it will be a work recurring

winch hope America will help as it
ported by the Allied governments as
iar as possible. But it is a strange
fact that the Hague Convention des-
lgned for the betterment of the world,
stands in the way of a government
helping its own prisoners. One pro-
vision of the Hague agreement is that
the country holding prisoners come
shall have no control of the matter.
That provision, made in peace times,
has had an unfortunate effect in act
ual war times and Frances and Eng

agreement from officially seeking to

CBY EMORY R. PARK, NJ. d.


Georgia's public health baby was
born in Atlanta in the summer OF
1903. 1t was sired by the legislature
and mothered by the general public.
Some facetious person wh0 just must
have his little joke" might say it was
sired by the legislature and damned
nv everybody, but then if brought right
down to the question, lit is we'll for
the public to have some organization
whose business it is to protect the
people against epidemic diseases" this
jcvial party would unhesitatingly an
swer in the affirmative. 1t may be
tue in exceptional cases that crit1-
cism of the state board of health, for
such was the name given the new
baby, has arisen here and there, but
this has come from some one who has
had a request denied instead of real
ling his request in it's very nature
did not come under the jurisdiction OF
the board, or had to be refused by the
board as a result of lack of authority,
lack of funds; or else the criticism
has come from some self-seeking par
ty who had had an axe to grind and
has found the State Board of Health
unwilling to turn the wheel.
To return to the infant board 1T had
its troubles right from the beginning,
as many babies do, and has only been
kept alive and brought to childhood
bv it's inherent worth, and large
amount of nursing on the part of those
to whom the rearing was intrusted. 1t
cannot be truthfully stated that this
baby was born with a silver spoon in
its mouth, or that it has been raised
in the lap of luxury. Georgia, like the
old woman who lived In shoe, hav
ing so many children she didn't know

When the State Board of Health was
born, it was very decided runt, and

other state children still remains d

is when this new child made it's ap-
pearance, the public teats were being

children, and as a result there has
never been very much pap left for
the newborn. However, what has
been given it it has thoroughly assim-
Hated, with the result that in the
short space of twelve years the erst

childhood's estate, and Georgia has
in the State Board of Health a young
son she has reason to feel proud of to
fight some of her most important bat
ties for her.
1t was predestined that this child
life work should be that of disease
prevention, and even in its infancy It
began it's fore-ordained task. Each
passing year has seen the child more
active than the last 1t has passed

ing on to its mothers hand can stand

Increased strength developed, more
work has been undertaken. At first,

chief nurse, the present secretary. AS
time has gone on increased activities
activities have brought on growth.
More rooms have been provided and
more work has been undertaken. To-
day, including its clerical force and
hired help, the State Board of Health
employs twelve people, and has lab
oratory equipment far superior to any
in the South. All of it's activities, so
far as they go, we justly feel proud
of and believe are we'll directed, but
there is yet long way to go and
many hard battles to be fought before
Georgia con boast she has done, and
is doing, her duty in the matter of
Kidding the state of unnecessary dis
ease and death. The time will soon
come, however, when Georgia will
realize that health matters are as
important as legal affairs, and that it
is as necessary to stop murders by
germs as it is to stop murders by vio-
lence, that health is as important as
free education, that human beings are
as important as hogs, cabbages and
catfish, that many of the inmates OF
her deaf, dumb and blind academies
are there as the result of diseases
which could have been prevented, that
her insane asylum is chuck full of
poor unfortunates, many of whom
could have been saved from their sad
fate, and that there should be no nee
eSsity for homes for incurables or
sanatoriums for consumptives. When
the people fully realize these things
they will demand of the legislature
that the State Board of Health be fur
nished with every facility and all the
means necessary to prevent the con-
tinuance of the slaughter of the limo
cents and the destruction of the states
most valuable possessions-the life
and health of its people.
