ALL|EDCOURSE
OF ACTION IN
RUSSIA NOW
DETERMINED

while the general negotiations
with Japan in regard to the Siberian
issue continue. it was made very
plain in official quarters that they
are OF a most amicable character, and
that a complete agreement is GER
tain Only minor points are at issue
anyhow. On the broad general
scheme there is complete agreement.
Just when an official statement
will be forthcoming is hard to say.
1t is promised as soon as IT can be
made public without causing en-
barassment to the various nations
concerned. The announcement is
complete on the desk of President
Wilson, and when issued IL will make
1t clear to the people Of the world
that there will be no gobbling up of
any Russian territory.
General Plan.
The general plan for economic as
sistance already has been announced
It provides for assistance Of every
sort to the Russian people in order
that they may again become self
supporting. The military feature,
broadly speaking, will provide for
the utilization OF a small interna-
tional force in such a manner that IT
VIII not give offense to anyone This
force is expected to number in its
ranks representatives OF all of the
Allied Powers with Japan and China,
by reason OF territorial proximity,
dominating SO far as Siberia is con-
cerned
The great Czecho-Slovak forces,
however, will be the big broad
medium on which the allies will de-
pend for protection These armies
are growing hourly as the anti-Bol-
sheviki element flocks to the ranks.
The Czecho-Slovaks now dominate
Siberia and control the Trans-Siber-
ian railway while another strong
force is on the Murman coast cooper
attng with the allied forces that are
there.
No Speculation.
In the absence of official announce
ments Administration officials have
asked that specific speculation as to
plans be refrained from. Naturally It
would be extremely unwise to discuss
the military preparations at this time
However. It sis-permitted to state
that there Is no anxiety here concern
ing the Murman coast situation. Even
though the German-Finnish armies
there should unite against the allied
bluejackets and troops there they
would not seriously imperil them

one night before l went to bed
twas at the governments request
and l obeyed the mild behest. A
greater sacrifice than that I'd

And so, as I've already said, | set

the dawn with fervent words; 1

climb the well known eastern
skies. 1t is a wondrous thing, l
say, this breaking of another day.
Like countless jays. l always slept
while rosy faced Aurora swept
nights clouds and cobwebs from
the sky, and let the best of life go
by. While mornings miracles
took place l snored deep sepul-
chral bass; in my soft couch l lay
asleep, and snored 'The Cradle OF
the Deep" While morning spread
its gorgeous hues, its puppies, vio-
lets and blues, l snored, with
rhythm deep and slow, "The
Heart Bowed Down by Weight of
Woe" By wisdom's admonition
led, l set the clock an hour ahead !;
at 9 o'clock l made it 10, and now
l get up with the hen, and see the
greatest show on earth, and caper
with exceeding mirth. The hour
gain at dawn of day is worth a

WASHINGTON D. c.. July SO-Infection is the
wv invasion of the body by pathogenic organ
v ism BY pathogenic organism we mean one
which is capable of multiplying inside the body,
and producing bodily reaction which may take
the form of a chill, fever, headache, an In
fammation or other undesirable condition.
All of us at all times invaded by bacteria.
Some of them pathogenic Most of them are
non-pathogenic, and simply parasites living on
human beings
A focal infection is an infection confined some
where within An infection about the root of
the tooth, causing toothache, is one example
Tonsilitis is another example, the tonsi being In
that focus of infection. Catarrh is usually
due to focal infection, while ingrowing toenail
may produce focal infection under the nail.
The important thing to remember about these
focal infections is that they capable of poison
ing the blood stream and thereby doing great
harm. 1t is true that you may have toothache
which results in the ache and nothing more, or
catarrh which passes away without doing serious
harm In this case, the bacteria may not have got
ten into the blood, they may not have entered
it in sufficient force to do harm, the resistant
powers of your body may have been great enough
to neutralize the attack-that is your natural i'm
munity may have saved you But if focal in
lection exists in your body, you harboring
traitor: for it is apt to do you serious harm at
time when illness, cold fatigue has lowered your
natural immunity 1t is, therefore important not to
neglect focal infections, but to remove them as
soon as possible and to keep your naturally immun-
ty at the highest possible point by attention to your
general health
This is one of the most important lessons of
modern medicine--that nearly always ex-
posed to infections, but that natural immunity
will protect if we tend to our general health
Babies and old people are especially liable to IN
fictitious diseases because they are weak-the1r
natural immunity is low. For the same reason
adults invaded by infections when they do not
get enough exercise, when they sleep in poor air;
when they overwork, when they go without proper
clothing or food when they worry, when they eat
too much drink too much.
Rheumatism, heart disease, tuberculosis,
pneumonia may all be caused by focal infections,
which get hold upon the diseased organ when the
natural immunity is low. That is one reason why
so many diseases originate in a bad cold; the colo
weakens the defensive powers of the body.
The mouth especially liable to focal lntec-
tons The roots of the teeth subject to lnfec-
ton through the gums 1t is not necessary Tor the
teeth to be decayed for these organisms to gain

terra in the cleanest mouth and there is often in

The State Market Bnrea

In its passage of the bill granting moderate
appropriation for the maintenance of State Mar
ket Bureau, the House showed thoughtful insight
into Georgia's material interests. The permanency
and expansion of the system of diversified food
production which happily has suppanted the ole
cotton tyranny depends on the development of
diversified markets.
1t the lack of convenient and regular mar
kets for products other than cotton that gave the
one-crop plan SO strong hold on this and other
Southern States. Cotton was intrinsically
more profitable than food crops, but the facilities
for converting it readily into cash using it as
collateral were ever ready and abundant. The
farmer could bring load of the staple to town,
put in warehouse, and with his warehouse re-
ceipt get money or credit without further ado
But not until recent years have there been such
facilities for disposfng of food crops. Great quant
ties of potatoes, beans and similar staples have
spoiled on the growers hands simply for lack of
some established means whereby he and the thou
sands of consumers ready to buy his products could
be brought into touch.
Conditions in this respect much improved,
and the extraordinary demand now existing for all
kinds of foodstuffs makes it comparatively easy for
the farmer to dispose of such crops. But there
must be permanent and adequate markets for Geor
gia-raised food if the diversified agriculture
which the States prosperity so largely depends, is
to go steadily forward after the special stimulus of
war demands has ceased. 1t is important, there
fore, that the market problem be studied in all
its aspects and brought nearly possible to
solution before normal conditions return. To that
end State Market Bureau can contribute valuable
results and be of much benefit to our common
interests.
