GERMANY SUFFERING FOR

Amsterdam, Oct S.-Germany's

and fats is not being alleviated by

deeply into our daily life as the lack

materials, One dovetails into the
other, for no fat means no soap-no
soap means chemical substitutes

and clothes we cannot replace with.

The rich territory of Central and
West Africa appeals to the German
economic expert as the possible site
OF a Teutonic colonial empire that
would overshadow even Emperor

There are enemy aliens and there

who does not do his part toward
winning the war, who neither fights
nor works nor lends for victory is as
much an alien to Americas purposes

This is war of peoples as well as
of nations, and each individual has

DO IT FOR BABY
The Dangerous Age
(By Ruth Danenhower Wilson Of The
Vigilantes)


Vigilantes)
When baby Is from twelve to
eighteen months old it seems like an
intelligent human being compared to
the less active, more vegetable state
of the earlier months. For this very
reason from twelve to eighteen
months is very dangerous age.
It is then that mothers are apt to
relax their vigilance a little, let
baby's cooking and eating utensils 20
un-sterilized, neglect to screen the
baby from flies and mosquitoes, and
carelessly expand the diet by giving
tastes of this or that from the grown
ups table.
AS result dysentery often follows
and kills many baby that has been
in good health up to year of age
The strict following of four simple
rules will avoid much of the danger
of this age.
First, every utensil that touches
babys food or goes into Its mouth
should be sterilized In boiling water
till the child is year and ahalf or
two years old, and all drinking water
should be boiled.
Second, in the expansion of diet
from liquids to some solid food the
advice of an experienced physician
should fe followed. Such new arti.
cles as he prescribes should be given
one at time and in very small guam
titles at first. The child should not
be expected to digest a grown.ups
diet any more than 1t is expected TO
walk as far as a grown-up.
Third, any tendency to diorrhea
should be combatted with the omis-
sion from the diet of all solids, fruit
juices, eggs, purees, sugar and
cream or top milk. Lime water
should be added to the child's milk.
and the usual quantity weakened one
half with boiled water. If there is
fever or nausea, or if the diarrhea
continues several days, barley Cruel
should be substituted for milk, and
a physicians advice should be sought.
Fourth, the protection of the baby
from flies and mosquitoes must be
Just as careful at this age as at
week old. Dysentery and many 9TH
err diseases can be carried to the baby
by these unwelcome winged visitors.

. GEORGIA COAST
CITY IS JUBILANT
GOVERNMENT TO BUILD GREAT
ACID PLANT AT BRUNSWICK.
WILL DOUBLE POPULATION.

The quaint Southern town of
Brunswick, Ca, will become a thriv-
ing city with population of at least
$1,000 when the mammoth picric
acid plant, to be built by the govern
ment, is in full operation. The entire
community is gratifed over the de-
cision to locate the plant in that vi
cinity. The Butterworth-Judson cor
poration, probably the largest manu-
facturers of picric acid in the world,
having supplied both the French and
Russians with this material, has been
awarded the contract for the con-
struction and operation of the i'm
mense plant.
The plant, when constructed, will
cover about 500 acres of land in
buildings necessary for operating
Five thousand men will be necessary
in the construction, and the opera
ton force will consist of about 5000
men. About 1,400 acres of land are
to be acquired for the plant.
Plan Comforts For Many Employees.
The corporation have adopted the
modern methods of looking after the
welfare and comforts of the thous-
ands of employees. Additional land
has been acquired which will be used
for the erection of houses for the
working men. 1t is also planned to
build club rooms, churches, restau-
rants, and to provide other facilities
for the welfare of the employees.
Picric acid first came into promi-
hence during the Boer war when Gen.
Roberts used it in a composition
known as lydite. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that it is now the basis of
all explosives used in shells, especial
ly those of the high explosive varie-
ty. The acid, as shipped from this
country, contains a fairly large per-
centage of moisture and in this con-
dition it is not explosive.

NO MORE DRYNESS FOR
UNITED STATES, SAYS WILSON
The President Will Not Use Power
Given Him by Congress TO Stop
Manufacture of Wine and Beer.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Adminis-
tratiOn opposition to any attempt to
stop the manufacture of beer and
wine SO long as the sale of whisky
is permitted was made certain today
with the announcement, that Food
Administrator Hoover opposed such a
step because he believed the evils at
tendant upon putting the nation on a
whisky, brandy and gin" basis would
outweigh the small food savings
that would result.
President Wilson already had stat
ed in a letter to Senator Sheppard,
of Texas, prohibition champion and
democratic member of the agricul-
ture committee, that he would not
use his power to prohibit the use of
foodstuffs in beer and wine unless
Mr.. Hoover regarded such a step as
necessary to the feeding of this
country and the allies.

BIG INCREASE IN NUMBER
KILLED BY THE RAILROADS
In Georgia Has Increased to 1852
in Just One Year.

There was small increase in the
railroad mileage in Georgia last year
over the year before. The report of
the state railroad commission for the
year, which has just been issued,
shows only seventy miles of new rail-
road. Main line second track was in
creased thirty-five miles, this Icing
principally on the Southern road be-
tween Atlanta and Charlotte. The
total increase in railroad mileage of
all classes for the year was 178 miles
over 1917.
One of the principal and particu-
larly interesting features of the re-
port of the commission is the tabula-
ton showing an enormous increase
in the number of people killed, the
jump being from 1903 in 1915 to
1852 last year on steam railroads;
on street railroads a jump from l.
1873 in 1915 to 1923 last year.
