THE SCHOOL LUNCH.

The essentials of the diet of all
normal children are, of course, the
same-namely, an abundance of sim
pie foods carefully prepared and of
sufficient variety to provide activity,
which in healthy children is almost
ceaseless during working hours, and
for Development into healthy men
and women.
There is no reason why the ordi-
nary family dinner should not be
suitable for the school children when
their school hours are such that they
may have lunch with the family, but
the basket lunch is harder to plan
and also to prepare than the lunch at
home. To begin with there are many
foods which can not be included in
it, either because they are not good
cold or because they can not be con-
veniently packed or easily carried.
The container which can be more
easily and thoroughly cleaned is the
most desirable. Paper napkins and
pariffin paper should be used in pack
ing the lunch. A napkin made of cot
ton crepe and fringed is also con-
venient and easily Numbered. Paper
cups, jars with screw tops and large
mouths bottles add to the possibili.

5O9 AUTOMOBILES
PASSED In IL HOURS
ONLY ELEVEN STOPPED BEFORE
CROSSING CENTRAL RAILWAY
TRACKS IN DAWSON.

Tests have been made at crossings
on the Central of Georgia railroad to
ascertain what percentage of auto
mobile drivers are exercising proper
care in passing over them.
The tests, which are not yet COM
pleted for the system, show the re-
suits for 20 crossings on the Sa-
vannah and Southwestern divisions
and at Macon, Ga.
In order to make these tests re-
sponsible representative of the road
was placed where he could observe
automobiles crossing the tracks for
a full 12-hour day and make record
of each crossing, the record to show
how many drivers stopped, how many
looked both or one way, or passed
without any apparent regard for the
danger of moving trains.
One of the 20 tests reported was
at the Main street crossing of the
Central at Dawson. At this cross
ing 500 automobiles passed in twelve
hours, and the drivers of only eleven
stopped, 81 looked only one way, As
looked both ways, and 372 passed
over without looking either way.
If the drivers of automobiles would
stop, look and listen it would doubt
less be possible to entirely eliminate
the distressing accidents, too many of
which have occurred in the past few
years.

gao POUND PIGS.

With corn above so cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three months
to get on full feed never brings you
a profit.

shOats on feed, begin with the B. A,
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regular
ly and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 240 pounds. Figure the av-

investment Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased we will refund

lean Expeditionary Forces, France,
October 10th, 1918.-Mr. John J.
Daniel, Dawson, Ga.
Dear Mr.. Daniel 1t is my painful
duty to write and tell you that your
son, Private John w. Daniel, died on
October 18th, 1918. He was buried
with military honors. Everything
possible was done for his welfare, so
that under no circumstances could
he have received better medical at
tention.
Chaplain Joseph L. Wesley, Pres
byterian, another chaplain of this di-
vision, oficiated at the funeral, which
was a very beautiful one. The body
was conveyed from the hospital on a
caisson drawn by two horses. On
the near horse a postillion rode. On
either side of the caisson were French
soldiers and in the rear American SOL
diers with the pallbearers. The band
preceded and played very appropriate
music. The coffin was covered with
the Stars and Stripes. When we ar
rived at the grave there was a large
assembiage of people, not only our
own soldiers but French civilians.
After the body had been lowered into
the grave a volley was fired and
sounded. Nearly everyone present
either threw in a flower or hand
full of earth, in recognition of not
only his services in France but our
own country. He did not die in vain.
If there is any thing l can do for you
please let me know. With much SYM
pathy for you and yours. Sincerely
yours, ALLEYNE c. HOWELL.
Captain, Senior Chaplain.

AMERICUS is AROUSED
OVER DANCE INVITATIONS

Were Sent Out From Aviation Camp,
and Stirred Up Hornets Nest.
Over in Americas, where the Span
ish influenza has been raging for sew
eral weeks, the people have been
aroused by the announcement that in
vitations have been issued to dance
at Souther field, the aviation training
grounds. The chairman of the board
of education, the venerable DIR. Lam
sing Burrows, protests vigorously
against the holding of the dance, and
SO does DIR. Bond, the public health
officer for the extra-cantonment zone.
The point these gentlemen make
is that as the churches and the schools
in Americas have been compelled to
close because of the influenza no
gatherings of any character should be
permitted that would tend to delay
the putting down of the epidemic.

most of it getting into the waste piles

scribing when he says that from to
40 per cent of a given timber stand
is the best that spruce shows, It
likes the sea-fog from the Pacific
ocean, and grows to valuable size only
in scattered belts where the fog comes
regularly.
Lastly only about 35 or 30 per cent
of the wood in the trunk has the
strength, toughness, and resiliency
that airplane struts and spare require.
It takes special machinery and special
handling in hundreds of mills, small
and large, to get out this IS per cent.

NEGRO PUTTING ONE OVER ON GERMANS
 IN BRUSSELS CITY

PARIS, May 9.-A coal-black ne gro, a citizen of the Belgian Congo dressed completely ill red, propell- ing push cart painted yellow, may be seen on the boulevards of Brus- sells, says Libre Belique, the Bel gian newspapers which the Germans have been unable to suppress. The negro is selling shoe polish. Bel gians who still possess shoes take great pleasure in buying>Trom the negro.
 He is doing rushing business and will probably continue to dc so until it filters through the Ger mans thick cranium that the qual- ity of the shoe polish is not the reason for the negro's popularity with purchasers but because as he perambulates down the boulevards his black visage, red costume and yellow cart represent a living Bel gian flag.
 Then it will be the "Komman- dantur" and the cool shade of St. Giles prison for the black, red and yellow man.
