PENALTIES FOR THE
BOARDING OF FOODS

On interest to Annapolis house
wives were three outstanding features
in the government food cases before
The Maryland Food Administration IN
baltimore yesterday. One conferred
itself in a warning to all household
ers against sugar pledge-slacking,
4 case in which Mrs. r. Getzler, of
21O5 ST. Paul street, had signed
pledge by which she obtained hve
pounds of sugar for preserving ana
then used it for regular family con-
sumption was presented The admin
istration announced that it had a
thorough means of tracing such viola
lions and intended TO see that the law
is enforced. Her case was dismissed.
Another case centered in warning
to paperhangers against using any OF
the country's slack supply of flour IN
paste for wallpaper. The case was
referred to Washington for decision.

DO 1T FOR BABY; THE
EVER-GROWING BABY

(By Ruth Danehower Wilson of The
Vigilantes.)
81 have found perfect routine for
my baby" young mother said to me
last fall about her eleven-months-old
son. I've at last found just the food
that agrees with him. He weights ex-
actly the average for his age. I've
learned just the amount of food and
sleep and air and exercise he ought to
have. Now I'm going to stop thinking
about him, go along in the same rou-
tine and devote my energy to war
work"
Five months later her baby was very
i'll. The doctor who had last seen him
rosy and healthy at eleven months
found him underweight, white, f1abby
and anaemic All of which was lead
ing to ricketts,.
What had happened under the per-
feet regime? Simply that what was
perfect for eleven months was not
right for twelve, was still worse for
thirteen, and at sixteen months the
baby was in a serious condition of I'M
der-nourishment.
Almost as soon as we mothers feel
we have found the right routine it is
time to change it. Let us give all pos
sible time to war work, but never for
a moment relax our thought for baby's
care, for that is very important war
work
A baby under a year old that is not
nursed should have its food increased
slightly about every two weeks. After
year the diet may be gradually en-
larged and strengthened about every
month or six weeks according to the
individual baby's appetite and diges-
ton.
If our babies stood still in their de-
velopment we should be in a fair way
of losing them.
Remember that babies are like fly
ing aeroplanes. If they stop they fall.
Any mother who does not know
what to do" for her baby has only to
write to the Children's Bureau of the
Department of Labor at Washington,
and helpful pamphlets, written by spe-
cialists, will come to her at once.

INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP.

A French girl felt the beauty of the
friendship of two great countries for
each other She wrote about it, and
her words found their way into a Red
Cross bulletin. and finally a transla-
ton of them was posted in a con-
spicuous place in a public library.
This is the translation: There is
river in France so narrow that you
can talk across it. Birds can fly over
it with one sweep of their wings.
Great armies are on either bank. but
they are as far apart as the stars i'm
the sky, as far as right and wrong.
There is great ocean. 1t is so
wide that sea gulls cannot fly across
it without rest. Upon either shore
there are great nations They are so
close that their hearts touch"
The librarian. approaching the
words, put them up where all could
read and then watched TO see their
effect upon library patrons.
A good many people paused to read
idly. They went on with thoughtful
faces. Teachers copied the words to
take to their classrooms. A French
woman translated them back into her
own tongue. Pupils from the school

ALL VEHICLES MUST
CARRY LIGHTS
New Law Became Operative July Isl.
Applies TO iIOrse-Drawn
Vehicles

Maryland's new light law affecting
all vehicles, other than motor vehicles.
became operative on July LIST.
The Act, known as Chapter SO of
the Acts of 1918, is designed to compel
all horse-drawn vehicles to display
lights at night, so as to diminish what
has been a source of many accidents
resulting in serious injuries and
deaths.
Under the provisions OF Chapter 53
all vehicles in use or at rest on the
public highways Of the State or of
any city, county, town or village, dur
ing the period of from one-half hour
after sunset to one hour before sun
rise, shall display not less than one
bright light so placed as to be clearly
visible both from the front and rear
for distance of two hundred feet 1t
is also provided that vehicles may dis
play, at the option of the owner or
user, one white light visible from the
front and one red light visible from
the rear for the same distance of two
hundred feet.
Nothing in the new law applies to
motor vehicles, which are governed by
the provisions contained in the general
motor vehicle law.
Chapter SO is Statewide in its
scope, and its enforcement is in the
hands of the municipal and county
police authorities as well as the State
officials
The penalties for violating the law
apply to all those who cause or
knowingly permit a violation. The
minimum fine is $500 and the maxi
mum $1,000.
1t is hoped that the officers of the
law in every part of the State will CO.
operate in an effort to obtain a rigid
enforcement of the light law since its
proper observance will do much to-
ward making the roads safer for all
vehicles

GOOD PROPAGANDA.

An interesting bit of history con-
nected with the recent disastrous
Austrian offensive has just been re-
vealed by our government. 1t APP
pears that friendly propaganda had
almost as much to do with the gal
liant stand of the Italians on that oc-
casion as hostile propaganda had to
do with Italian Generalization when
Austria made her big gain last fall.
When it became apparent that a new
Austrian drive was impending, Ital
ians, Czechs, Slovenians and people of
other nationalities in this country who
were particularly eager for Italian
success were given the use of the
cables and the wireless stations to
send messages to Italian relatives and
friends. The result was that for days
every means of communication was
jammed with friendly, encouraging
messages Italy was fairly deluged
with good wishes and expressions of
confidence and admiration.
The fine effect of this campaign of
sentiment on the Italian army and ma
ton can easily be imagined. II was
undoubtedly a big factor in the mag
nificent defense made by the Italian
troops-a defense so spirited and sus-
tanned that no sooner had the enemy's
drive started than it seemed as if it
were an Italian rather than an Aus
trian offensive.
The plan which worked so well in
this case should be used freely here

preacher, shows the esteem that race
has for Mr.. Poitevent:
Vaudeville, Oct. 27, 1918.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:
Please allow me space in your good
paper to say few words concerning
Messrs. Poitevent & Favre, the great
est white leaders in the world.
During this influenza epidemic that
has fallen among our people. both
white and black, this company has
provided for the sick through the
order of Mr.. Poitevent, and his help
ers. He hired two special doctors
and about ten nurses to wait on the
people. He spent from 800 to 5000
a day on both white and black, in
this particular cause. They were all
served. l know that God will. ever
bless this good man. We have the
best white people in the State OF
Louisiana. He has always taken
care of his people. pray that God
will have a special place for this
good man in Heaven. May he live
long to take care Of our poor colored
race.
Thanking you for space for this
humble note of thanks,
am yours in Christ,
REV. H. G. RANDLE.
