ARE CUTTING Off
LIQUOR LAUNCHES
GOVERNMENT is AFTER THE
BLOCKADE RUNNERS AROUND
SAVANNAH.

Savannah, Aug. 2S.-Blockadc run
ming CT liquor launches between
Jacksonville and Savannah is being
stepped with a vengeance by Federal
craft named by members of the Nav
al Reserve and operating under war
orders with the authority of the re-
cent laws prohibiting shipments of
liquor into dry" state from wet
state.
Until the Federal government get
behind them, the liquor men were do
ing a thriving business up from
Jacksonville in fast launches loaded
with booze. Much OF this, it is said,
was disposed of at Tybee. This led
to cases Of drunkenness among the
many recruits stationed at Fort
Screven, and Colonel Archibald
Campbell in command of the fort,
determined to put stop to it, is said
to have called in the aid of Naval Re-
serve coast patrol to nab the liquor
boats as they arrived in Savannah
waters.
The result is that three patrol
bpats are constantly on guard
day and night; that every launch is
searched for federal licenses, life pre-
servers, correct number of lights, etc
and, if incidentally, any liquor is
found during the search the launch
ard its crew are taken into custody.
The government is getting thou
sands of dollars worth OF liquor in
this manner. Last Saturday federal
officers found 1000 gallons, valued al
$6,00G hidden in a barn on an old
rice field on the South Carolina side
Of the Savannah river. This was
brought there by liquor launches.
Several of these launches have been
captured. and it is stated that the
government will confiscate these yes
sells in addition to prosecuting the |
men who operated them.

Care of Baby in Hot Weather

MANY mothers are at a loss to know
lNl what to do to render babies comfort
able in hot weather The following sugges-
tons will be found of benefit In this con-
nection:
Give him plenty Of fresh air night and
day. However. don't compel him to lie all
the time tightly bundled up in his cab
among fluffy feather pillows. Provide him
a comfortable mattress in some cool place
where he can lie straight and stretch and
kick at will.
Protect him at all times from files mos
quitoes and other tormenting insects and
from floor dust and dirt.
Give him every hour a drink of cool
water from a source known to be pure or
OF water which has been freshly boiled
cooled and kept in a bottle.
Have stated times for feeding. and feed
regularly and at intervals Of not less than
three hours. Avoid overfeedlng, as this is
especially harmful In hot weather.
II not breast-fed feed by schedule or
quantity according to age, as directed by a
competent physician OF a reliable nurse.
Use only certified or pasteurized milk
and exercise the greatest care as to clean
liness in every particular and especially
screen the food from dust and flies. Give
the juice of an orange daily
Give him cool sponge baths or neutral
baths The child year or more old may
be allowed short periods of play in the
bathtub in water at a temperature of "a
degrees Fahrenheit. Playthings that float.
basins with which he can dip water, etc,
will make the time pass rapidly.
Vary the amount and kind OF his clothing
to suit the temperature On hot days all
clothing may be removed. No clothing Is
needed when the temperature is above Sc
degrees Fahrenheit.
Discard paciiers, they are always a
source of injury to the little one.
Don't use soothing syrups or any patent
nostrums.

Unless there is n decided tendency toward

that It would have any influence upon its
growth. Cold applications to the chin and
