The BABY.
Baby's Drinking Water.

Babys Drinking Water.
The baby needs plenty of cool, un-
sweetened water to drink 1t is safe
to boil all the drinking water for a
baby, which should be given to a
young baby lukewarm, never ice cold.
Never put sugar or anything else in
it. Offer it to the baby between
feelings; in summer especially he
needs to drink frequently. A run
about" baby is constantly exer-
cising while awake and requires a
great deal of water. Fretful babies,
especially those who are cutting
teeth, are often quoted by cool
drink.

Herbert Hoover, United States
food administrator, has been chosen
to direct the new food distribution
for the sufferers of the countries over
seas. Perhaps no other man knows
the food needs of the world as does
Mr.. Hoover. He gave the first two
and one-half years Of the war to the
feeding or the outraged Belgians
and since that time has directed the
food conservation program for our
own country. That Europe shares
Americas confidence in his food lead
ership was shown during his visit of
the past summer to Europe, England,
France, and Belgium all sought to
show their appreciation of his efforts
by bestowing upon him their highest
decorations. Mr.. Hoover is the
most modest of men. To both the En-
glish and the French he made reply
that the food administration had been
able to help the starving people only
through the voluntary saving of all
Americans and that he was but one
of these American citizens. 1t was
most difficult to persuade Belgium to
set aside it's desire to decorate the
food administrator. Mr.. Hoover
closed the matter, as he supposed, by
saying to King Albert "All desire is
to be known as the friend of the Bel
gians." A short time later Mr..
Hoover went on to London on his re-
turn home. What was his surprise
before he sailed to receive from King
Albert, a document telling him that
by special act the Belgians had crea-
ted new order to be known as '"Ihe
Friend of the Belgians," the sole
owner of the decoration to be Her.
bert Hoover of the United States.

There will be no turkey raffles this

still in vogue in the state is not
known but 'the federal food admin
istration is objecting to any shooting
match, game of chance, or contest of
skill that might put into the hands of
persons any quantity of food stuffs
for which they have no actual need
says A. D. Wilson, federal food adj
ministrator for Minnesota. "Also
there is shortage of turkeys this
year and the war sufferers overseas
need meat"

Once he was a reckless blacksmith
Tall of statue, lean and strong,
Fearing neither God nor devils,
Caring not for right or wrong.
But the Master, who in Nazareth
Was a blacksmith in a shop,
Came to see old tough Jim Williams
And his, meanness had to stop.
When he left the changing anvil
Uncle Jim took up the Word.
Twas his hammer and he swung it
For the glory of his Lord.
Sinners fell in deep conviction;
Scoffers heard and knelt to pray;
Then he sang till Heavens sunshine
Broke upon their gloomy way.
Sometimes I can hear him singing,
81 am Going Over There;
OWSSCIy W HIS NOlC0 HOW ringing
In a tender stirring prayer,
where we go, Dear Lord, go with
US;
And stay with US where we stay"
Forty years he walked with Jesus
To that land of cloudess day.
Letters sweet he used to write me,
Awkward lines upon the page:
"Dere beloved, I'm still goin'
In upon the narrar gage"
Where the angels harps are sound.

&C. A. NEEDS men
IN SOUTHERN CAMPS
for Overseas Workers, 1000 Are
Wanted for Home Service

Atlanta, Ca, August 25.-Men en-
dowed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
Y. M. c.. A. to serve in the camps Of
the Southeast.
DR.. v w. Alexander, general re-
cruiting secretary for the War Per
sonnet Board Of the Y. M. G. A. War
Work Council, declares that there is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords a splendid opportun-
ity to the man of middle age who, is
not able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
"The Y. M. G. A. needs men for
overseas service, OF course, but the
home camps must not be forgotten"
explained DR., Alexander. From now
on until the first of the year the
Southeast must recruit 1000 men for
he home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur
nish % men per month per state to
erve the soldiers in camps such as
Gordon, Jackson, Wheeler and the
others. The constant growth of the
home environments and the growing

DON'T GIVE USELESS
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

The Council of National Defense
and Advisory Commission r seek
ino TO discourage the giving OF
Christmas gifts which have to be purs
chased. This is done for the sake OF
saving the labor and material which
usually go into the manufacture OF
Christmas gifts, 1or saving the
transportation facilities of the Ma
tion-railroads, express companies
and mails-and for saving the labor
that is required to handle so much
unnecessary Christmas stock in the
retail stores during the Christmas
season.
The Council of National Defense
is making known the Governments
attitude toward this Christmas fea-
ture at this time that merchants and
manufacturers may make their plans
and purchase accordingly. 1t is be-
lieved that if the people as we'll as
the merchants know the Govern
ment's desires regarding the promis-
cuous giving of Christmas gifts, par
ticularly those which have to be pur-
chased and which require labor and
material and service needed by the
| Government for war service, that
they will use their influence to cur
tail the promiscuous giving of gifts
this Christmas and save the labor
and material for the Government
use. The Council suggests that the
money that is usually spent by fam
lilies on Christmas presents be invest
ed in War-Savings Stamps.
