Children Are Suffering
Because Price of Milk
Puts 1t Beyond Them

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Increased
reports of suffering among young chill
dren because eXhobitant prices have
eliminated milk from the diet of many
families evoked warning today from the
children's bureau of the labor depart
ment that aside from humanitarian con-
siderations it would be a great economic
loss to the country if lack of milk was
allowed to impair the health of future
citizens
There is no substitute for milk in
the diet of babies and young children
DIR. Grace L. Meigs said. yet the
increase in price is so startling that, as
the bureau reports show, many mothers
are economizing on milk. Young chill
dren cannot get the nourishment they
require from the would-be milk substi-
tutes given them and we can expect
them to be weakly and ailing."
Cities in Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware have found their milk supply
problems so serious that the governors
tri-state milk commission has recon-
mended that the distribution of milk be
regarded as a public utility and fair
prices be assured. Conditions in New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia have
not improved greatly as the cold wealth
err has curtailed the milk supply.

WE CAN BREAK
HUN LINE AND
WILL PERSHING

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-The Ameri-
can army in France has no misgiv-
ings regarding the ultimate victory
of the entente allies. was the mes
sage sent by General Pershing to
the people at home, through Charles
w. Whitehair, secretary of the Cor
nell Y. NJ. c. A, who has just re-
turned from the French and other
European battle fronts.
Mr.. Whitehair, who was the prin-
cipal speaker today at a luncheon
of the Life Underwriters associa-
ton, of New York, said that just be-
fore leaving France, General Pershing
asked him to preach one doctrine
when he got back to America That
was that the entente allies, includ-
ing the American soldiers. were a
unit in the belief that they would
eventually break through" the Ger
man lines in France. Here is the
massage General Pershing asked Mt.
Whitehair to deliver:
You must go back home and dis
pose Of that doctrine that we can't
break through the German lines. We
can break through them with a hu-
man wedge. and we will Tell every
body you meet of our determination
to win"

Warning Issued Against
Stories About Lonesome
Boys in Training Camps

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-As a warn
ing to the public to beware of published
stories that men at the army training
camps are unhappy. lonesome, without
food, and detected, the war department
today made public a letter from Post
master Wolfe. at Chillicothe, Ohio, deal
ing with specific case.
Last week." wrote Postmaster Wolfe
"a syndicate set of newspapers publish
ed the story about (soldier's name de-
leted). He was lonesome and had never
received a piece Of mail since being In
camp. His picture went with the article
and it made good reading.
I'm Yesterdays mail alone he received
200 letters, 10 special delivery letters
and parcels, and 81 ordinary parcels. IT
happened he can neither read nor write.
Mr.. Gregg made an examination and he
found nineteen soldiers sitting about
him helping him read the mail and they
had lots of fun at the expense of senti-
mental women, but got all the money
and stamps enclosed.
IAN interesting feature is that he was
not accepted by the army, but he refused
to leave other newspaper articles along
the same lines will simply swamp the
camp Offices"

Congressman Gordon Lee
Regrets Georgia Law
Barring Land Purchase

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Icon
gresham Gordon Lee issued state
ment here today In which he said he
much regretted the action of the last
session of the Georgia legislature in
making the law regarding the purchase
of land by the national forestry COM
mission, of which he is a member. so
complex that the commission has de-
cided not to make further purchases in
Georgia until the act is repealed. Ac-
cording to this law 1t would be neceS
sary for the owner Of land intended for
this purpose to consent before it could
be condemned and purchased by the
government. This of course, made it
impossible for the commission to do any
thing but decline to make further pur-
chases there.
The counties affected are Union, Fan
min, Lumpkin, NAHUM, and Habersham,
which have in all, about $500 acres and
these counties would have received IS
per cent gross for their roads and
schools, the loss will be considerable.

THREE MEMBERS OF.
EXEMPTION BOARD ARE.
.SUMMAR|LY REMOVED
R. F. Thompson, S, ], Mitchell
and DR., C, M, Curtis Re-
lieved of Duties by Order of
the President

At the direction of the president the
three members of the local board of
exemption for Fulton county-R. f.
Thompson, S. J. Mitchell and DR.. c. NJ.
Curtis-were summarily removed Satur-
day by Provost Marshall General Crow
der. Notice of their dismissal was sent
the board by officer in Charge of the
Selective Service Law joel b. Mallet.
DR.. w. c. Bryant, assistant medical ex-
aminer, was not removed. Whether he
will be retained has not been announced
and probably will not be known until
after the new board meets Monday
morning at 10 o'clock.
In their places were appointed Z.
Rivers, the ,weIl-known real estate man
of Buckhead; l. G. Whitney, of Hape-
vile, and DR.. George C. Trimble, of
East Point, who Immediately assumed
their duties.
The dismissal of the board followed
a sweeping investigation which dis
closed the fact that out of 526 men
exempted or discharged by the board,
$50 were white men and six were ne
groes. The vast majority of the ex-
emptions were on physical grounds, the
percentage on this ground being so
great as to indicate there are far more
physically disabled young white men
in the county than there are sound
ones.
All three of the dismissed board
members gave statements to The Jour
nal Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Thompson.
who is the mayor of East Point, and
Mr.. Mitchell, who is a farmer in the
Buckhead district, stated that all ex-
emptions on physical grounds were
made after at least two of the three
physicians-Dr. Curtis. head examiner,
Dr. w. c. Bryant and DR.. T. E. Fos-
ter Assistant examiners-had recon-
mended such action.
The medical examinations were en-
tirely in the hands of the doctors. they
said, and the other members acted on
their recommendations.
DR. Curtis asserted that the percent
age of reflections for physical deficien-
c:es was no greater, according to the
number of men examined, than in any
other district, and that a number of
men he had passed up as physically
sound had been rejected by Camp Cor
don medical examiners.
Major MaIlet declined to comment on
the reason for the dismissal, stating
merely that the action was taken at the
direction of the president and the pro-
vost marshal general. Figures on the
exemptions, compiled and submitted by
the department of justice were avail
able, however. indicating plainly that
the investigation revealed a situation
that did not by any means meet the ap-
prevail of the government.
At the same time the Fulton county
board was removed, J. H. Cas-
kins, clerk of the local board Of Ber-
rien county, with headquarters at
Nashville, was dismissed Il. ]. Griffin,
a well-known farmer, being appointed as
his successor.

One of the most pernicious of all
practices in the treatment of dys-
pepsia is the prOmiscuous taking of
so many of the so-called proprietary
medicines which are so blantly ad-
vertised in the daily press, many of
them being nothing more than al
coholic beverages, and there use is
not unattended with a great deal Of
danger. The treatment of consti-
patton, that is so frequently an ac-
compartment of dyspepsia, by
means of patent pills, calomel, pow
derS and pureatives, is positively
harmful.

Cooper, that the stomach regulates
the condition of the blood, and is

the regulation of the stomach and
the correction of catarrhal inham-
