Safeguard the American Soldier
From Liquor, Says DR..
WiIfred T. Grenfell.

DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell of La
brador, writing in the London
Times not long ago, said, L am an
Englishman. Recently | have been
speaking good deal in America,
and especially at one or two of the
very large camps for soldiers, where
l have met many of the officers, and
also at Washington, D. G. You are
aware of the response here to the
soldiers Y. NJ. G. A. work, indica-
ting the very strong feeling in
America Of the need of helping to
send clean army to fight for high
ideals. Several times the converse
tion in my presence has turned on
the subject Of the remarkable, IN
deed. almost absolute freedom from
drunkenness and the small amount
of immortality among the soldiers
here, and then comes always the
turn TO it which brings a flush of
shame, confess, to my checks, as
an Englishman, when a clean Amer
can officer turns round and says,
'Ah, but they will get all the alco-
:nol they want and the danger that
comes with it as soon as they get
to England and to France" The
question to-day is one Of deeds not
words; of facts, not opinions.
When is our beloved motherland
going to believe the fact-that rul-
ing out the temptation to drink by
closing down on the sale of liquors
of an intoxicating nature as bever-
ages is of vital Importance?
For over thirty years I have
lived among seafaring men in fish

lanlic, and in many winters in the
bitter cold of the northeastern coast
of America, and as medical man,
capable of observing facts. | know
the individual is far better able to
withstand hardship and is far-ftter
without any of it, aud also that pro-
hibition of its sale has been of i'm

who loves England as his life,

The French Orphan.

A little one, and cute as she can be-

She lives in France, away across the

And now, I'm going to give her all my
pennies;
For, mama, she doesn't get enough to

And when it's cold, and wear shoes
and stockings,
She just has rags to tie about her feet.
May send some of mine? Say yes,
dear mother;
And one or two of everything l wear?

In her own language; but it means the

And I shall know her really truly

Training Little Children.
(By Mrs. Lenore r. RanuS.) :

Everyone knows that normal
child has an active mind, but many
parents do nothing to strengthen or
train this vital part of their child's
life, leaving all mental development
to the teachers in the schools. Those
parents are indeed fortunate who
have kindergartens in their town or
city, for the kindergarten gives sys-
tematic mental training to children
as early as the fourth year.
The easiest way to leach a child
TO think is through play. The moth
.er can begin to sing Mother Goose
rhymes to the mere infant-in-al ms.
As the child grows, he recognizes
the words and often the tunes. La
ter, he will ask for his favorite
songs or rhymes, and then begin to
sing and recite himself. Up to this
point the mother has accomplished
three things: Strengthened the
memory, cultivated an ear for music
and the ability to carry simple
tune aid enlarged the child's vo-
cabulary.
Be sure to use only the best gram
mar when talking with child. Ba-
by talk is funny for the grown-ups
for while, but the difficulty the
child faces in overcoming this is
tremendous.
AS the child grows older, story
hour should become a part of each
day. This is really lesson in Ian
guage. The mother should begin
with tie finger plays when the child
lie eight or nine months old, such as
This is the church and this is the
steeple," "Pat-a-cake," the count
ing lesson, The thumb is one; the
pointer two, the middle finger three,
ring finger four, little finger five,
and that is all you see." What the
child initiates he begins to under
stand. That is The great purpose of
the finger plays.
As the child grows, other stories
: can be added to the story hour. A
normal child from about two years
of age on, loves the stories of The
three BEARS" The three pigs"
Little half chick" Little red
hem and other simple tales.
In telling stories to children, es-
pecially to very young children,
avoid the element of fear.
Children love best the stories
they have heard before. A good
rule is to let the child choose his
own story. Mother can introduce
new story when she deems best. An
other good plan is to have the child
tell mother story sometimes, as
this will aid self-expression and be
a lesson in language.
To teach counting, make use of
the play spirit again. In bouncing
ball, repeat the old-time jingle
"One, two, buckle my shoe" You
will be surprised at how quickly the
little ones will begin to count.
Again, in building blocks, make
game of counting by saying, Give

The most important question before America to-day
is the PRODUCTION OF FOOD AND FEED necessary
to carrying the war, the feeding of armies and
the feeding of the armies Of the Allies.
We have proudly boasted that Imperial Georgia and
South Carolina might be cut Off from all the rest Of
the world and they could still supply their needs.
But we have not been feeding ourselves-by half.
Now, the United States Government calls on us to
make good; raise enough food for ourselves to
sist in feeding the armies of Allies and the wives
and children of allied troops who are holding the
trenches waiting for American re-inoreements, who
have been facing death for three years and saerie-
ing their all that they as we'll as AMERICANS, MAY
CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY
OF THOUGHT, WORD AND ACTION.
The Allies entered 1918 with food supply smaller
than at any time since the war began. The crops OF
Europe will be short this year than ever 1t up to
America, and it is up to the SOUTH
The Food Administration may draw an iron ring
around the South another year. Do you want to face
starvation like Europe is faciug it, and go hungry
while your pockets jingle with goa; or do you want
to share gloriously in this for Liberty?
History records no instance in which the South has
failed to do her share. For Gods sake let history
repeat itself now You farmers Of the South forget
yourself and put your heart and soul in winning this
war; No one has greater opportunity than you.
Plant food, food, food!
Let your slogan be: ''Food and feed
stuff, full and running over.'

There is no question but that many
ptomaine poisoning, These are big words
which are easily explained. Through the
failure of the liver to properly perform
its work, the twenty seven feet of mites
TUNES become clogged. This stagnation
throws poisons into the blood and the
circulation, and one suffers from bad
breath, foul taste in the mouth, and even
yellow coated tongue, headache, nausea
or fullness. Gas often presses the dia
phragm against the heart and causes
pain there, or acid dyspepsia follows;
often the inactive liver causes yellow
skin and eyes, and one feels languid
tired and debiltated. AT such times some
people are advised by their doctors to
take a mineral oil, often called Russian
oil, but experiments bv r. +. Mcdonald
have shown, as lately reported in gov
eminent publication of the L. S. public
health service, that mineral oil may act
as an irritant that produces gastro-in-
festival disturbances and that it may
cause tissue proliferation, Stimulating
cancer.
A better method which | always ad
wise, is to take as much outdoor exercise
as possible, drink half pint of hot wa
ter morning and night and plenty of wa
ter between meals, and take pleasant
laxative pill occasionally. Such one is
made up of the Mayapple. of vegetable
ralomel, and other concentrated herb ex-
tracts that give tone to the bowels. This
was first made and sold by almost all
druggists nearly so years ago as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Such simple
means will remove that bugbear. auto

MILLIONS IN SEWAGE.
Moon Island Plant May Be Taken by

Washington. Jan. 9.-Boston's sewage
plant at Moon island may be taken over
hy the government for experimental pur-
poses. Washington officials, impressed
by reports made by Boston engineers
that grease, fertilizer, ammonia and gly-
cerine valued at millions of dollars can be
saved by the adoption of the Miles sys-
tenn of treating sewage, are considering
the advisability of making a practical
test of the system at the Moon island
plant. Representatives of the war de-
partment. the United States food admin
istration and the council of national de-
tense are studying existing acts TO de
termine whether money already appro-
pri ed for war purposes can be used TO
cond>-t the investigation. II money is
not available il is probable that Con-
gress will be asked TO appropriate from
81 600 200 to s2.000000 to operate the
Moon island plant.

ment is using all of the ammonia pro-
duced in this country for war purposes

SORRY CLIP SHEET
VAS RESURRECTED
Deets Pickett Regrets Digging Up OF
Rum Charges Re-
Gently.

Washington, Jan. o.-Deets Pickett. re
search secretary for the Methodist Epis
copal board of temperance, yesterday de
clared he was sorry the clip sheet lac is
sued recently on charges of drunkenness
in the army in France had been resur-
rected at this time, as conditions are
now improved.
Publication OF the clip sheet, which
charged wholesale drunkenness, was deep
" resented by army and navy officers.
The church prohibition branch, headed
by Pickett, alleged that drink was filling
the guardhouses and that the brewers
had so influenced the war department as
to remove the protection from soldiers
abroad which is provided for them.
Conditions are really quite little
better" said Pickett yesterday, "and I'm
sorry the matter has been dug up. We
had advices from number of people
saying the question of drunkenness was
pretty bad.
THE men would get off transports and
get their wine, and when payday came
they got lots of champagne. 1t was pref
ty bad, but it has improved the past
month. and as Gen. Pershing is working
toward prohibition, that's all we want"

POOLING GERMAN PEOPLE.
German Government Laying Down Rules
for Newspapers.

Washington D. c., Jan. s-Evidenc'
of the care the German government /:
taking to direct public opinion and (
deceive not only its enemies but its owr
neople ia contained in series of secret
instructions issued to the German press
by the censorship which have fallen into
the hands of the state department. These
| instructions cover period of less than
three months of last year, but they tell
very complete story of how the leu
tonic war lords control public opinion.
| Owners of newspapers and publishers
generally not only are limited a. to the
character of the articles printed, but III
many cases. are told what they should
publish, and in what terms. Labor dis
turbances, food shortage, and difficulties
in securing and distributing coal are
placed under the ban, but newspapers
are urged to give prominence to enemy
losses and to certain prescribed interpre-
tations of international situations.
A hint of the relentlessness of the au
thorities in Furnishing infractions of or
ders is contained in one notice in which
attention is called to the fact that the
police have again been notified to seek
out and bring to ruthless punishment
originators and communications of I'M
true military, political, financial and eco
monte reports In another notice sim
liar warning is given that the police
will proceed theoretically against those
who repeated untrue reports
Interesting light is thrown upon the
Berlin view of the preparation for war
in the United States by a paragraph of
an order dated june 6, last. 1t says:
"While the news about the organiza
ton and Quitting of an army one mil
lion strong to reinforce the French Eng
lish front, is looked upon, in that form,
as bluff the spreading of which may
unfavorably affect the opinion of the
German people, yet the fact must not
be overlooked, on the other hand, that
the United States, with the support of
its capacity for material and industrial
is arming itself for war
with great energy and tenacity. The
war preparations in America are, there
fore. as was intimated in the Reiehstag
at the time. not at all to be made little !
of. but must be taken seriously without /
on that account being a source OF wor-
ry.'
