MISS HARGIS
SUCCEEDS MRS.
S. R. M. KENNEDY
YOUNG BUSINESS WOMAN VICE
CHAIRMAN PENSACOLA CHAP
TER AMERICAN RED CROSS
MRS. FERRISS HEAD OF DEPT.

The resignation of Mrs. S. r. Nal
lory Kennedy as vice-chairman of the
Pensacola chapter of the American Red
Cross is sincerely regretted, not only
by the official board, but by all with
whom Mrs. Kennedy has been asso-
ciated in Red Cross work.
Sorrow at posing this able leader has
been modified by the fact that She is
succeeded by Miss Mooeste Hargis,
whose business training and long asSo-
citation with Mrs. Kennedy makes her
choice as vice-chairman most fortu-
nate one. Mrs. Kennedy is succeeded
as director of the woman's department
of the Red Cross, by Mrs. w. B. Fer
riss, who has been associated with
the work since its inception here, and
who is specially fitted for this branch
of Red Cross activity.
Mrs. G. NJ. Sweeney, Supervisor of
the surgical dressing department of the
was also accepted at the last execu-
tive meeting, is succeeded by Mrs. Sam
Pasco who has been close1y associated
with this department, and will bring
to the work a training and ability
which will make her a valuable addi-
ton to the official board
Mrs. Kennedy leaves shortly to join
her husband, Captain s. r. Mallory
Kennedy, who is attached to the staff
of Col. Joseph Y. Porter, at Camp
Johnston, Jacksonville.
Mrs. Sweeneys resignation was nee
essary owing to her state of health,
her physicians considering it inadvis-
able for her to continue in active work
at this time.
The work of the local Red Cross
chapter during the incumbency of Mrs.
Kennedy and Mrs. Sweeney has given
Pensacola more than a local fame The
work has been conducted with such
dispatch, efficiency and ardor as to
have made the local chapter noted
throughout Florida for the personnel
of its officers and the work accomplish
ed, and while Pensacola is to be con-
graduated that two such able women
are to succeed the retiring officers, the
keenest regret follows their resignation.

CLUB NOTES.

A member of the Home Health Club from one of the iron mines came in to see me early this week. During our visit he told me of frequent at- tacks of asthma and of pains in the joints. Of the pains. however he said he supposed it was caused by rheuna- tism contracted through his work in the mines and seemed to think that was a perfectly natural condition and must be endured. By simply look ing at the condition of the mans mouth as he talked; knew different ly and I explained to him the cause of rheumatism, coming always from some source of infection within his own body.
 then had x-Ray pictures taken of all of his teeth and he could readily see for himself the pockets of puss at the root of every tooth. He was dumbfounded to find that he could easily squeeze the pus out with his fingers pressed against 8 tooth.
 Every tooth had to come out. They came out so easily that all were pull ed at one sitting without gas or local anesthetic. He will be obliged to live on liquid diet for a. couple of months then a temporary set of teeth can be fitted and worn for eight or ten months, after which a permanent set can be made that will last the balance of his life.
 I believe the man would not have lived a year without the removal of this source of poison but with 1t re- moved and the limited diet he will be obliged to use for many weeks, the poison will be eliminated and he should have excellent health for many years

Insomnia: I venture the opinion that in spite of the worry of war news, there are not nearly so many people troubled with insomnia as there were three years ago. l do not get nearly so many complaints about the trouble, and as the cause has been removed naturally relief follows.
 An excess of coffee, meats, bread and pastry causes indigestion and that in turn causes insomnia in many cases, though not all.
 Many people do not require the full eight hours sleep that is, as a rule, allotted for that purpose, while there are many that require more. As general proposition, people that are troubled with insomnia are thin and nervous. They do, as rule, eat enough but digestion and assimila- ton are poor.
 A special course of dietetic treat ment is about the only real cure for such cases, but vast amount of help will be found by practicing the various exercises given in the Home Health Club book, Vol. 2, and then each night just before going to bed, sip slowly a tumberful of hot milk.
 Some will find that if they exercise at night until they get physically tired, they will sleep well. Of course this does not apply to those engaged in manual labor.
 Those that are physically tired nervous and worried, will often find rest and relief by placing a hot water bottle at the back, just at the base of the spine and if the feet are cold, another hot water bottle or hot bricks should be placed to them also.
 As a perfectly harmless remedy make a syrup by stewing spring on- ions in brown sugar; very little water need be added merely enough to dis solve or we'll moisten the sugar. If the onions are cut in small pieces it will be better. Take a teaspoonful of this syrup at night. It is not only a. producer of sleep, but is also very beneficial to the general health.
 A portion of the daily diet that should be insisted upon is a fresh or raw salad of any of the following: Let tuce, celery. cabbage, parsley, water

NEW TROUBLE
 IS FOUND, FOR POTATO RAISERS

Dr. G. P. Clinton, Botanist for the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. was in Dan- bury yesterday to look at the Mallory War Gardens to determine the cause of their wilt.
 This wilt has been reported preva- lent in Stamford, Westport, and Dan- bury in Fairfield county and in sev- eral places in New Haven County and as far east as New London.
 pr. Clinton stated that early pota- toes as we'll as late are affected by tris wilt. It comes on the potatoes at a certain stage of their growth. when they are about one-half to- two thirds grown. It does not spread like a disease, but seems to be related to soil and moisture conditions. A bac- teriaI and fungous infection IS noticed in the plants, but this is not directly traceable. It may possibly be due to lack of potash in the soil.
 The trouble shows first on sandy or graveEy kno1ls, while in shady places under trees and in damp spots it is not seen so quickly. The plants seem to be affected by not being able to get enough moisture. Farmers planting with manure have not yet been report ed to have the same trouble. This wilt may be similar to what is called potash hunger, experienced in Maine on the potato crop of 1918. It has not before been seen around this part of the country. It is trouble that has been experienced on fields that have had the best of care and which have been thoroughly sprayed. As far as known now no treatment is of any avail.
 It is not expected that the crop where the wilt has appeared will be a failure, but will probably be cut down about one-half. As long as the plants remain green the potatoes will grow. Evidence points to the fact that some ant than others.
 Potato growers having plants which show signs of trouble they do not recognize should notify the Farm Blu reau office.
 Second Warning on AIhfs. G. M. Codding, Special Field Agent in Entomology, has sent out a second warning in regard to Potato Aphis (Plant Lice), which is increasing rap idly in all parts of the State, and has been found not only on potato and to- mato vines but on peas squash, kale, beets, etc, as well. This is the cru cial time in regard to aphis. Potatoes should be examined every few days. Examine the under side
 of the leaves and tops of the stems | near the terminal buds. Both pink and green aphis will be found togeth- CT on the same leaf
 When plant lice are found, spray immediately using 1 1-2 tea-spoonfuls

ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH OF FATHER
 OF MUNICIPAL POLICE

The father of the municipal police detective force was Eugene Francois Vidocq, who was born at Arras, now @ famous battle ground, in France, 14S years ago today, July 23, 1775. He organized the first force of this kind in Paris in 1872. Vidocq was the son of a baker, and as a boy he was sent to the house of correction for robbing his fathers till. Thus he began his acquaintance with crim- 'inals. On his release he secured S400 by questionable methods, but was robbed by a cleverer rogue. Af- ter that he was an acrobat with a travelling circus, and later became a soldier. At the age of twenty-one he was convicted of forgery and sent to the galleys for eight years, but es- caped and joined a gang of highway robbers. He delivered his compan- ions to the authorities, and in 1909 became police spy. The first detec- tive bureau in Paris was organized by vidocq three years later. and he be-
