TYPHOID SERUM CUTS

So Far Only 769 Cases Have Been

Reported in Georgia his Year.
10000 Doses Already Sent Out.
Typhoid apparently decreased rs
per cent. in Georgia this year, and
general use in September of the free
serum distributed by the state board
of health will help greatly in main
tanning this desirable record through
the month when the fever is most
prevalent, a report issued by DR.. M.
F. Haygood, chief of the contagious
diseases division of the state board
sets out.
Better sanitation and more vacci-
nations brought the improvement,
the report states. So far this year
only 1859 typhoid cases have been re-
ported to the board, as against four
time that number on an average for
twelve-month period heretofore. A
total of 100000 doses of typhus vac
cine have been sent out already this
year, an excess of 10000 doses above
the record-breaking year of 1918.
DR.. Haygood urged unvaccinated
Georgians to apply for vaccine at the
state board office. This may be ad-
ministered by family physicians or
local health officers.

Foreign Relations Committee
Finishes Work on Treaty.
Reservations Deal With the
Monroe Doctrine, Withdraw
al From League of Nations
and Domestic Questions.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SEN
ate foreign relations committee on
Thursday finished it's work on the
peace treaty with Germany and af-
ter adopting four reservations to the
league of nations covenant ordered
the treaty reported to the senate
with about two score amendments
previously incorporated.
The treaty, signed at Versailles
June %, and submitted by President
Wilson to the senate and referred to
so far as the United States is concern
far as the United States is concern
ed, into the final stage-that of open
consideration by the senate for rati-
fication or rejection. Committee ac-
ton was deferred on the special trea-
ty to protect France and on other
treaties submitted
Chairman Lodge will return the
treaty to the senate with a formal
majority report late this week. A mi
nority report by the democrats OPP
posing both amendments and reser-
vations is to be filed within three
days thereafter and it is expected
that actual consideration of the trea-
ty will begin about September Is.
Weeks of debate before the final vote
is expected. The first contest will be
over the committees amendments
with the final and decisive struggle
over the reservations which the reso-
luton provides must be specifically
accepted by the four great powers
France, Japan, Italy and Great Brit
ain.
A Stormy Debate.
Conclusion of the committees
work-which has taken nearly two
months-came somewhat unexpected
ly at a special executive session of
three hours stormy debate which d.
vided both republican and democratic
membership.
The four reservations which were
sponsored by Chairman Lodge and
written into a resolution providing
for conditional ratification of the
treaty provide:
First, for unconditional" with
drawal of the United States from the
league.
Second, refusal of this nation to
assume any foreign territorial guar
antees under article 10 of the league
or mandates without action by con-
gress.
Third, exclusive action by the
United States on domestic or polltl-
cal affairs.
Fourth, Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine solely by this nation.
Party Lineup Shattered.
On all four reservations the party
lineup of the committee was shat
tered. Senator McCumber, republi-
can, of North Dakota, voted with
the democrats in opposition to those
dealing with article 10 and the with
drawal provision but joined his cell
leagues in supporting those provis-
ions affecting the Monroe doctrine
and domestic affairs. Senator Shields,
democrat, of Tennessee, joined the
republicans in supporting all of the
reservations except that concerning
territorial guarantees, on which he
withheld his vote The other six dem

SIOUX CITY LEARNS
OF SWEET POTATO
Large Quantities of Georgia Vans
Will Be Shipped to the Iowa City.
HELPS Soldiers Business, Too.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Sir Walter Raj
eigh came to America and learned
from the Indians to smoke tobacco
and took it back to England and in
troduced it to the lords and ladies of
the court. Whether the ladies took
it with any special or stentorian fond
ness is not recorded, and probably is
doubtful in view of the fact that
finely blended cigarettes were not
then made, although some chroniclers
do assert that Queen Elizabeth was
not averse to hitting the pipe. Ger
tain it is, however, that the lords
liked it fine, and ever afterwards to-
bacco has been used throughout Eng
land and the world.
Finds" Yam.
Arthur D. Lowe, soldier in the
service of the United States, came to
Camp Gordon to undergo training in
the recent world war, and while in
the camp he was introduced to the
succulent sweet potato grown in the
sandy loan soil of the South Georgia
coastal plain. Now he has returned
to his home in Sioux City, Iowa, and
introduced the sweet potato not only
to his friends and acquaintance, but
also to his trade as a commission
merchant, and has built up already a
| demand which he believes it will take
fifty carloads to satisfy this winter.

The Propaganda for Federal
Control Of the Schools

whether they are all in favor of or
opposed to a Federal monopoly OF
schools, while, as a matter of fact, at
least two magazines published in Mich
igan, viz: American Schoolmaster
and Moderator Topics" express their
doubts and great apprehension con-
corning the entire proposition.
{ How insistent the propaganda is,
may be seen from the policy advocat-
ed by the N. E. A. that each State
adopt a program along the lines of
that of the Federal Government and
press all the force that can be put be-
hind it upon the legislature" 1t re-
quires no great stretch of the imagina-
ton to associate with this policy the
belief that the bigotry evidenced in
Michigan and Nebraska are in line
with this Federal plan.
Results of such pressure were prob
ably the memorial sent by the Oregon
Legislature to Senator Chamberlain;
also the action in Iowa where the
House endorsed the Smith bill while
the Senate rejected it. All this indi-
Gates spirit of propaganda similar to
that resorted to in securing the adop-
ton of the Prohibition amendment. It
is reported that at least in four Legis-
latures the vote in favor of Prohibition
was directly against the desire and
will of their constituents.
1t is imperative that the freedom of
education, endangered by these at
tempts at federal control, be safe
guarded. 1t will therefore be neces.
sary to watch the propaganda and
to keep vigilant eye on the State
Legislatures, a number of which may
declare for federal control of the en-
tire school system of the country. Leg
islators should be advised of the senti-
ments of their constituents in this vi
tai question.
