JEWISH BOARD OF
WELFARE WORK

On Sunday, April 14th, at the Hall
of the Welfare Board, Rabbi David
Hirsch, of Atlanta, Ga, delivered an
eloquent talk on Patriotism" before
large audience of civilians and SOL
oilers. In addition to the address,
which was thoroughly enjoyed by ev-
erybody present, there was a pleasing
musical program rendered by talent of
the people of Augusta and soldiers.
This was the first of a series of such
programs which will be given regu-
larry at the hall.
Programs as successful as those of
last Wednesday and Sunday have
caused tn entertainment committee Of
the board to decide that there will be
more activity in the hall hereafter.
Every night in the week either Mr.
Landman or Mr.. Luchs will be present
n the hail. and also on Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons. Plans are being
made for additional furnishings for
the hall, both as decorations and for
practical use. We hope to make the
hall more of center for the men
while they are in town, and extend the
invitation to them again to make it
their headquarters. Those convent
ences already there will be improved,

Here Is little story that was told
at social session by Representative
Hubert d. Stephens Of Mississippi, as
an Illustration that the best industrial
results cannot always be obtained
through team work:
Some time since, the teacher of a
public school in a country town was
instructing a juvenile class In mathe-
matics when she turned to small boy
named Tommy.
Tommy" said she, III your father
can do a piece of work In six days and
your uncle Jim can do it In seven days,
how long would it take them to do 1t
together?"
about ten thousand years" was the
rather startling rejoinder Of Tommy.
''Ten thousand yearsr exclaimed
the teacher. "Why, Tommy, what do
you mean?"
81 mean," was the prompt response
of Tommy, "thnt II you put them to
work together they would sit on the
fence, smoke ana swap fish stories" -

The nutritive value Of an ar.

is not necessarily any more sus-

cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at

lea efficient.
The best time to swat the fly, of
course, is early in the breeding season,
before the young ones have become
grandparents. Flies killed In the
spring prevent hordes later on. But
1t is a never-ending battle, and In
late July and early August vigilance
becomes more than ever necessary.
Work to kill flies even at this time
may prevent abundant reproduction
before cold weather. In fact, there is
no closed season in hunting flies. A
swat in any day Of the year Is q
peritorious swat, and even q fly buzz
ing around window-pane In midwin-
ter should be regarded as legitimate
prey.
Controlling the Fly.
Careful screening of windows and
doors during the summer months does
not decrease the number of flies, but
Mt least it lessons the danger Of con-
tamination Of food. This applies not
only to homes, but with equal force
to stores, restaurants, bakeries, dali

fy-poison preparations are common.
Many Of the commercial fly poisons
contain arsenic. and their use In the
household is attended by considerable
danger, especially to children. This
danger, according to specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, Is lessened by the use Of weak
solution Of formalin. An effective fly
poison Is made by adding three tea
spOonfuls Of the commercial formalin
to a pint of milk or water sweetened
