SHOWS DANGER OF
INFECTED MILK
Health Expert Says Infant Nor
tality May be Reduced One
third Through Care.

A warning to mothers to be careful
of the kind and cleanliness OF tho milk
they feed th0ir babies, is made by DIR.
G.. II. Wells. the health expert, who
under the auspices of the State Council
OF Defense and cooperating with the Della
ware State Board of Health, is conducting
a survey of the State along health lines
Every community, where an I'M
provement of the milk supply has been
noted" said DIR. Wells, has resulted IN
a reduction of the infant mortality. The
milk supply, especially at this time of
the year, has more influence than any
other factor Aside from spreading the
of communicable diseases, through in
fected milk, impure milk causes greater
number of eases of infantie summer
complaint, resulting In moro deaths,
than any other cause. The next largest
number of infantic deaths Is due to
tubcrcular COWS ,
Mothers should feed their baby
omit the best grade of milk. Its really
criminal negligence for a mother to feed
her child, milk that has not been pro pcrly
handled Delaware expects soon, 10 bc

Of milk. from tests that will be made
After procuring the best grade OF
milk, the first and most important duty,
is for the mother to keep the milk cool
and well covered. IN n clean receptacle.
Milk can dcteriorate greatly, IN uncovered
bowls or rcceptaclcs, and work harm to
the baby
Milk. IN order to bc of proper nourish-
ment value to n babe. should not ot

The most essential thing IS to kccr the
milk covered and under clean surroundings
But the milk should not bc adultcrated.
Milk about which there IS any question,
should be pastcurizcd IN the home. In

Continued Knitting Encouraged by War Department. but All
Such Articles Should Be Distributed by American Red Cross

(By international News Service.)
Washington, May 24.-American
women, the American Red Cross will
take care of your knitting.
Although there has been a ruling
by the War Department that no more
comfort packages" may be-Mnt to
France by parcels post, the Red
Cross is still allowed to send what
ever is needed for the comfort of the
boys in the trenches. Moreover, the
Red Cross will see to it that the COM
forts go where they are needed
You may feel certain that when
your knitted efforts are turned over
to the Red Cross, they will be placed
in the hands of some soldier who
needs them. Before the recent order
of the War Department went into
effect some of the boys over there
were flooded with more comforts than
they really needed by their friends.
Bill Smiths mother knitted him a
muffler and sent it to him from the
home town, Kankakee. Bills sister,
who was in Vassar, at Poughkeepsiie

also sent him a muffler, and his girl
who was at Smith in Northampton
likewise knit muffler and sent it to
Bill. AS the result of all of this kind
illness, Bill was pretty nearly muff1ed
to death in the trenches. This con-
dition of affairs is not so when your
knitting is distributed through the
Fed Cross.
Be sure to knit what the Red Cross
wants. Their representatives are in
close touch with the boys at the front
and know what they need. II the
boys need socks most the Red Cross
will tell you so.
Secretary of War Baker, in making
statement endorsing knitting as a
war occupation for American women,
said: "An apparent misunderstanding
has arisen in some quarters regarding
the attitude of the War Department
toward the knitting of sweaters and
comforts for our soldiers. The de-
partment has in no sense discouraged
the furnishing of such garments
through the American Red Cross,
and is appreciative of the spirit which
The Leader, enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1915-1921, 1918-05-24

prompts American women in their
knitting for the troops. 1t is true that
a sweater is not included in the regu-
lar equipment of the army, and it is
not regarded as an absolutely essen
tial garment. However, a knitted
sweater is garment of great serv-
iceability and constitutes welcome
addition to soldiers equipment, par
ticularly when the soldier is on duty
in the rigorous Winter climate Of
France. While the department itself
has not officially called upon any or
ganization to supply sweaters, certain
divisions of the army have made such
acquisitions and have been grati6ed
that the supply was available. The
work of American women who desire
to add this comfortable article to the
clothing supplied the soldier by the
War Department is worthy of en-
enlargement"
So, knitting may continue the chief
summer sport for women and the
American Red Cross will see that the
knitted comforts reach the right
place.

Miss Annie Martin, Suffragist Prepared
To Make Senatorial Race Back In Nevada

lege to come to Washington to fight
for suffrage. She hadn't been here
long before the suffrage leaders dis
covered that Miss Anne had a convin-
cling way with her and they sent her
up on the hilp to lobby for suffrage
with the Senators and congressman
She made Roadway, too, and she is
thoroughly known "up on the hill" If
Miss Margaret is sent to the Senate
by the people of Nevada she will have
speaking acquaintance with every
Senator on the floor when she takes
her seat.
One would hardly pick Miss Anne
for a belligerent suffragist She has
those beautiful Irish blue eyes that
John Mccormick sings about, and her
smiles are just as fine as those of
Mother Machree. Her voice is soft
and soothing, and altogether she ap-
pears at first glance to be sort of a
little gray mouse of woman But
she isn't. She is fighting $50 get
ter" as the soldier boys say.
Just listen to this from the mouth
Ct Miss Anne. Isn't this real CAM
paign oratory: "The peace that fol-
lows this war cannot be lasting with

be just without being democratic, and
it cannot be democratic without the
direct participation of women in help

total number of calories in an ounce,
for instance, of wheat -four as ordi-
narily used, is 1902; in the case of corn
meal, 1887. The number of calories
of carbohydrates in wheat flour is
equivalent to that in corn meal, and
vice versa.
In other words, it makes no differ
ence from what source the particular
element needed in the nutrition of
the body is derived provided the di-
ge3tion and assimilation of these ele-
ments be accomplished with equal IA
cility. These facts make 1T clear,
therefore, that corn meal can be used
as a substitute for wheat flour with
out injury to the population consum-
ing the same. They would, in no
sense, be less well nourished or fed
by eating corn meal in place of wheat
-four.
AS for rye flour, it contains 1927
calories per ounce and is practically
equivalent to wheat -four 1t does not
make the white bread to which we
are accustomed, and because of it's
color and flavor is not regarded with
favor by our people who through the
relative abundance of wheat in this
country and the cheapness of white
flour have become fastidious as to the
use of bread. Rye -four has been ex-
tensively used in Europe for many
years, and it is certainly a wholesome
and desirable food product. Dat meal,
on the other hand, contains a much
larger number of calories Of protein
and fat per ounce than wheat flour,
corn meal or rye. There are 1853
calories in an ounce Of oat meal, and
it is, therefore, the most nourishing
and desirable of all the cereals avail
and desirable of all the cereals avail
able for use as bread substitutes we
have in this country. AS matter Of
fact, our people would be better off
and more economically fed If we con.
sumed much larger quantities Of oat
meal or oat products.
These facts are presented for the
information and advice Of our readers
in order that they may be intelligently
informed of the relative merits Of
wheat flour and other substitutes
which may be used therefor. This in
formation should convey to them the
fact that corn meal, rye -four, oat
meal and other cereal substitutes ad-
vised for use under present conditions
can be used with safety and in large
quantities for indefinite periods Of
time without injurious results, and
that the human body can be as we'll
nourished and maintained through
their consumption as by combining our
dietary, as has been our custom so
generally in the past, to the use of
bread made exclusively from wheat
-four.
