PATENT MEDICINES DANGEROUS
FOR CHILDREN.


T CANNOT too strongly condemn
the giving of patent medicines to
babies and children. No medi-
cines should be given babies save
under competent medical advice.
Numerous widely ADVERTISED nos
trums. frequently sold as soothing"
sirups. and preparations claiming to
cure the ills of teething, diarrhOea,
coughs, colds and the like, often
contain dangerous drugs, and many
children have lost their lives by be-
ing given such medicines. There Is
evidence to show that children who
are repeatedly dosed, but who sur
vive the dosing. sometimes learn to
crave these quieting drugs. They
are restless and after the effect of
the drug wears off and remain so
until it is repeated, the drug habit
being thus formed in the same way
as with grown people. If urged to
use a patent medicine, the mother
should always examine the label
very carefully, for the Federal food
and drugs act requires the manufac-
turers of patent medicines to print
on the label of the bottle the amount
or proportion of certain dangerous
drugs that may be present in the
so-called remedy" Mothers should
certainly be on guard against any
remedy that contains laudanum,
paregoric. Dover's powder, codein,
chlorodyne, antikamnia and the
like. Sweet syrups often upset the
baby's digestion. | know of one
little fellow who was doped literally
to death for collie when | am sure
the child had appendicitis.
Have your physician examiue the
child and order what medicine he
needs and don't ask your druggist
who knows nothing of physical dia-
gnosis or symptomatOlOgy to pre-
scribe some patent medicine over
the counter for it is not treating the
child or the druggist right. The
business of the good druggist is to
compound medicines, not to pre-
scribe them The druggist should
not be asked to price medicine and

Senator Vardaman's remarks were

were taken away from their home:

Mr.. Harrison urged the passag,
of the relief bill partly on the ground
that Congress should stand by tn,
American delegates to the peace ne

This led a member to ask Mr.
Harrison why he did not stand b,

WHY BUILD A SILoY

In these days of high land value and
increasing cost of all farming oper-
ations. it IS important that the farmer
obtain from his crops the greatest
possible feeding value per acre. He
must grow forage crops that contain
the highest proportion of materials
which actually go to make bone. flesh
and fat.
About 40 per cent of the entire feed:
ing value of corn is in the stalks and
leaves. As the corn crop is harvest I'd
on many farms. this portion of its
value is lost. Is it good business to
go to the expense of producing this
crop. robbing the land of its valuable

elements, and then~losing this 40 per
cent of food value by letting the stalks
and leaves go to waste?
With the rising costs of all kinds
of food stuffs and the threatened short
age which the country faces owing to
worldwide conditions, it is the duty
of every one to do all in his power
to avoid waste and to increase pro-
duction. This country cannot afford
citizens who throw away 40 per cent
of their corn crop. In the present ma
tional crisis, every acre of land should
be made to yield its full capacity and
every human endeavor should be dir
ected toward conservation.

blades of grass grow where one grew

grow two bushels of corn where form

LICENSE FOR MOVING 8 jE@

At the meeting Of the City Council
December 9th, 1918, delegations from
five Of our church congregations APP
peared before our City Fathers for sthe
purpose Of protesting against the grant
ing of license to Mr.. Enrich to show

the Committees presented petitions
signed by a majority of their respective
Congregations begging the Council to
refuse such license. Mr.. Enrich also
appeared with petition signed by
n5inety-four Of the people Of our city
asking that such license be granted
In view Of the action taken by the
Council, we. as members Of said
churches who protested against such
license being granted, feel that com

should be given to the citizens Of War

From a letter written shortly before
Christmas from Jacksonville, Florida,
BY Mr. e. Dagoberg, to Mr.. and Mrs.
Hans Mitgard, Of this city, we Gull the
following extracts:
s. About his trip he says: "All the
country I saw during the days journey,
on the Dixie Flyer, was when we went
over the states Of Kentucky, Tennessee
and Georgia. Looks to me to be very
poor land and all the farm buildings
are terribly poor too, and have never
been painted. I guess the farming must
be over fifty years behind the North
western states

Justine is the most ancient of cities in
the United States, the Newport Of the
south It's site was discovered in 1913
by Ponce de Leon. The city was found
led in 1865 by, Pedro Menendez de
Aviles with a colony from Spain. Fort
Marion was begun in 1865 and finished
in 1856. The fort and all the old
buildings and also the city gates and
sea wall are built of 'Coquinas'' a stone
formed Of some collection of & shells,
sand, and shell fragments of variegated
colors, firmly cemented together by ac-
ton of rain water" *:Certain
quaint and narrow streets with over
hanging balconies make typical old
world settings" But the city besides
is also modern, progressive and beauti-
full. The Flagler hotels, the Alcazar
and the Ponce de Leon, are grand, the
latter being Of Moorish design, with
beautiful gardens, great towers and
huge iron gates. Beautiful palms,
live oak, elms, magnolias, cedars, clean
ders, camphor trees and roses and flow
ers grow abundantly in the productive,
but sandy, soil. Vegetable gardens are
looking fine now and just as far ahead
as they used to be in Minnesota in
July and Auxust.'' II can't
get into it my head that it, is soon

like summer, nearly all the trees and
lawns being just as green and nice look
