more no. children who were examined Mon
DAY. A few cases of enlarged tonsils
We're found but only one that would re-
qulre removal. There was one case of
a very slight curvature Of the spine and
one case of malnutrition. In the latter
instance the child was perfectly healthy
put underfed and under weight and the
mother was instructed as to the proper.
proportions to feed the child and no doubt
the Il little one will gain rapidly in weight
from now on. There were no other
diseases or defects Of any kind prevalent
among the children and if the percentage
should keep up thruout the examination
period which will last another week, New
Vim Will have made record as the home
OF very healthy children.
There are some 700 or 800 children
to be examined in the city and the ladies
in charge have divided the territory
into districts and are canvassing the
homes in order that the parents may
know about the plan to examine all the
children and the mothers are coming
out promptly so that the work is going
rapidly. Mrs. O. j. Seifert is in charge
as nurse and there are two young ladies
who repister the babies as they are enter
ed: Other ladies also are in attendance
to help amuse the children and help dress
and undress them. The work is being
done at the Armory and it is expected
that it will lead to some permanent are
engagements for the protection of the
health of the children of the city. Pos
slbly resident nurse may be later pro-
vided.

4th of July.
Saturday evening a dance took place
at John Guggisberg's. Wilfart Bros.
furnished the music. Everybody en-
joyed a good time.
Haying is IN full swing. Stacks are
springing up, right along. and the mowers

doings on the Glorious 4th, plenty of

Most of our pleasure vehicles are gas
driven, but once in while man power
is used, as was the case the other day at

COUNTY FARM ORGANIZATIONS
IMPORTANT

Washington, d. c., March 19-In the
campaign to make the 1912 food pro-
duction in the southern States suf-
ficient to feed the South, the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
commends that cooperation among
farmers and among farmers organi-
cations and business men be stimu-
lated. -
In every county where there Is no
organization, the department says, the
people should be urged to perfect a
representative county body for agri-
cultural purposes. This county or
ganization should consist, II possible,
of representatives from community
organizations and should meet reyu-
larry with the county agent, and de-
hnitely work with him In the interest

KAISER'S WAR DEBT
Chicago JournaD

(ChlcagO J0urnaD
When the new German war loan is
floated the war debts of Germany will
total the tidy sum of $1,000. 200, 900
thirty-one thousand million dollars
The population of Germany at the be-
ginning of the war was about 6S,O0O,-
900. Her war debt, therefore, amounts
to $456 for each man, woman and
child who lived in the German En-
pire when the aKiser first made his
bid for world power
The population of the United States
is about 110,00000O. Before this cOun-
try, therefore, could be under the f.
nancial burden now resting on Ger
many, our war debt would have to
reach the sum of $50,16O, 900, 900. At
present, 1t is less than one-eighth Of
that sum-about $6,OO0,OO0,0 5000.
Even this does not tell the story.
Our wealth per capita is greater than
that of Germany ever was. Our ma
tional income is far larger than hers,
evne in proportion to our population.
But there is yet more important diff
ference than these.
Germany's war debt is burden
resting on a country which has lost
100000 men killed in battle or dy-
ing of wounds, and 100000 more
who are disabled by wounds or dis
ease or have been taken prisoners.
The 100000 thus lost are, broadly
speaking, her best workers and pro-
ducers
The Kaiser's Empire keeps going by
means of the labor of the enslaved
populations subject to its rule Com
pei 1t to ,,,ye up its slaves and 1t goes
into bankruptcy overnight. And the
United States makes no peace with

DESPONDENT WOMEN

Nature intends every woman to be
cheerful, light-hearted and happy, but
when dragged down with pain and
suffering from female ills, will power
alone cannot overcome a nervous,
Respondent condition. Multitudes of
American women, however, have
found that there is one tried and true
remedy to restore health under such
circumstances, and that Is Lydia E.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound,
made from herbssand roots. This old
fashioned medicines is now consider
ed the standard American remedy for
such conditions.

the early crops are removed, thus
gaining two or three weeks time
Late potatoes may be planted on
ground from which early peas or
string beans have been removed.
Late cabbage may be planted be-
tween the rows of early potatoes be-
fore this crop is mature. Turnips may
be sown between the rows of late corn
and late bush beans. Late beets may
be planted between the rows of late
beans and will grow long after frost
has killed the beans.
Storage in the Home
By utilizing every square foot of
space in the garden a considerable
quantity of vegetables may be grown
for storage for winter use. If no
storage facilities exist in the home all
tn crops suitable for keeping may be
stored in outdoor banks or pits How
ever, it is not at all difficult to pro-
vide storage facilities in most homes,

A half-acre garden If cared for
properly, will produce far more vege-
tables than the average family can
consume during the maturing period
of the crops. Only semall portion of
a garden of this size should be de-
voted to those vegetables that must be
used as soon as they reach maturity.
1t is advisable to devote the major
portion of the space to those crops
which if not needed at once may be
kept for winter use. In fact, If the
space is available the garden should
be planned with the definite purpose
of growing crops for storage for win
ter use.
Late beets, late cabbage, carrots,
celery, onions, parsnips, late potatoes,
sweet potatoes, satisfy, and late tur-
nips may be stored in their natural
condition and If possible should be
rgown to the extent of the family
needs for storage for winter use

1t is possible in nearly all sections
OF the country to grow late beets, late
cabbage, late potatoes and turnips on
ground that has already produced a
crop at lettuce. radishes, beans, early
peas, early potatoes, or some crop re-
quiring q relatively short period for
