GET A FTRELESS COOKER
BEFORE SUMMER COMES S

One convenience that ought to be
in every farm kitchen in the whole
South is the fireless cooker. House
wives all over the country ought to
have them, but they are especially
useful in the South where the wealth
er is hotter. They save time, health,
temper, and fuel 'I left home one
day last summer and went to town
eight miles away" said a woman
whose experience just came to US to-
day, "and before leaving put on din
ner in the fireless cooker When /
got back at night, the men had come
to dinner as usual, had taken part of
the food out of the cooker nice and
warm for their dinner, and there was
still a good, warm supper ready for
all of u.s." Sooner or later kitchen
without a fireless cooker will be as
rare as a kitchen without a stove
used to be.-The Progressive Farmer.

PLANS OF THE CHILD
WELFARE COMMITTEE

Georgia must save her quota OF the
3.543 children under five years OF
age this year Every mother in Cobb
county is urged to join the patriotic
baby saving campaign by having her
baby weighed, measured, and having
it's name recorded in the U, 5. Childs
Bureau of Washington, ID. e. why
sbould we fuss about babies now
when when women are so busy with
surgical dressings and knitting for
the soldiers? Because many OF the
some slight trouble neglected in early
childhood. And Uncle Sam is deter
physical defects which caused the re-
lection Of one third the men in the
first draft, are believed to date from
early childhood and Uncle Sam is de-
termined to take better care of his
babies in the future than in the past.
The Bureau begs the men and wom-
en- who are working to win the war,
not to forget the war time needs or
all Americas children, whether their
fathers are fighting for their country
in the trenches of France, or here
behind the lines
Remember "The health of the
child is the power of the nation"
One hundred thousand children un-
der five years of age die in the Unit
ed States every year. Authorities all
agree that at least half these deaths
could be prevented by modern skill
and science. The children who sur
vive to manhood and womanhood
with defects, bear the scars of dis
eases, injuries, and general conditions
which have proved fatal to others.
More than two million babies, in
town and country, rich and poor, well
and sickly, are tipping tn scales and
and standing up to the yard stick in
answer to the request of the Womans
Committee of the Council of National
Defense that parents enter their chill
dren in the nationwide test as the
first step in the Childrens Year Cam
paign to save 100000 babies.
The weighing and measuring test
is giving thousands of communities in
the U. S. opportunity to find out
whether their children are well-born
and well cared for. All of Georgia
has entered enthusiastically into this,
and Atlanta is already in the thick
of her baby saving campaign. Mrs,
S. R. Hewitt has been appointed as
Chairman of the Childrens Welfare
Committee of the Cobb county Unit
of the Womans Committee of the
Council of National Defense, Georgia
Division. She has named Saturday,
June 22nd, as Mothers Day, when
all the mothers in Cobb county are
urged to come to Marietta for full
information on all points of the cam
paign. Mrs. Hewitt, with her COM
mittee will be at the soldiers club to
answer all questions.
Then June 25th, 26th, and 9th,
are to be registration days. In Ma
rietta, the registration booth will be
in the soldiers club and the committee
in attendance will include a trained
nurse. There will be the sub-com-
mittees all over the county, and moth
ers can register in their own districts,
or bring their children to Marietta if
they prefer.
Watch next weeks papers for fur
ther information and details.

CoMMENDABLE WORK OF THE

ports covering the mining activity ot
most of the mining states for the wear

the efficient work of the United States
geological survey, branch of the pub
lie service which deserves the highest
commentator. To collect. compile
ana transmit to the public reliable
statistics of the production and yalue
OF mineral output of the various states
within few days after the close of
the year is no small achievement, and
one that is of real value to the min
ing industry. The figures given out
by the survey are of course subject
TO revision, as it would be impossible
for individual companies to supply alb
solutely accurate information concern
ing their operations within such a
prief time after the close of the wear
But for general purposes the figures
given in these advance reports are re-
liable and will serve useful pur-
pose Later they will be revised and
corrected for publication by the min /
ing bureau in its comprehensive an
nual reports on the mining industry

atoms during the first six months of

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE FOR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

To the man who has gone to the
colors the United States government
offers the safest, the most liberal, and
the cheapest insurance on the face OF
the earch. Approximately 100000 men
have already accepted the govern
ments Offer applying for insurance of
about two and three quarter billions of
dollars. The average amount applied
for per man is more than $4,000, which
Is very close to the $4,000 maximum
provided for by the law.
This insurance total, great as it is,
should be only beginning. Every
person in the military and naval forces
of the nation owes to himself and to
those he loves to avail himself of the
full insurance protection. But the
time in which he can do so is limited.
Prompt action is imperative.
Those who joined the service before
October Is, 1917, must apply for the
insurance on or before February IL,
1918. After. that, it will be too late.
The automatic insurance which is pro-
vided until February II, 1918. is only
partial protection.
Parents, brothers, and sisters. who
nave representative of their family
n the army or navy should, for their
'Wn sake, and for his, write to him at

nee They should urge him to buy
