From time to time recently The Journal has
published letters from citizens interested in the
Woman's Home, urging that some steps be taken
towards building a home which would more ade-
quately house the wards who make it their ha-
ven 1t has been pointed out again and again
that the home is badly situated, that it is not
nearly large enough for the present inmates, and
that there are constant calls which those who
are in charge of the home unable to meet.
More than year ago fund of about eighteen
hundred dollars was raised through the efforts
of few public spirited women, for the home, and
that fund is now in the savings bank, and would
GO far towards the erection of new building or
the purchase of some suitable residence which
might be renovated to fit the needs of those who
deserve every protection and care. The present
home is roughly estimated to be worth between
two and three thousand dollars, making the build
ing fund between four and five thousand. For
such a sum suitable building could be erected
AS it is now, the fund is lying idle in the bank,
the home is no nearer realization than it was a
wear ago. and the inmates of the home need re-
lief.
The work that lies before us for the Woman's
Home is not charity. 1t is an obligation which
rests upon each and every one of US to do our

THE RoCKEFELLER FUND.

In view of the apparent reluctance of the coun-
ty commissioners to cooperate with the state
board of health and the Rockefeller foundation
In the health program for Escambia county, 1t
may be well to call attention to the fact that
other states and communities are not so blind to
their own interests.
Significant progress in such undertakings IS
reported from North Carolina. In nine counties
three-year programs have been inaugurated
which make definite attacks upon the more inn
portant health problems such soil pollution and
its attendant diseases, typhoid fever, infant dl-
arrhea, dysentery and hookworm. The medical
inspection and treatment of school children, the
quarantine of infectious diseases, the prevention
of tuberculosis and work for infant welfare are
also included in the plan which is supported by
the combined contributions Of the state, the coun-
ties and the Rockefeller fund.- The administra-
ton of these special campaigns is unified under
the leadership of the state board OF health
By far the most extensive work of the board
has TO do with this intestinal infection which pre-
walls in southern states The policy of the board is
to work only in cooperation with states and
foreign governments, and so soon as may be after
successful demonstrations have been made to
turn the undertaking over to public control The
usual program of procedure includes: ~ an IN
lection survey to determine the prevalence OF
the disease; (2) intensive demonstration OF
treatment to cure the victims of the malady, to-
gether with (3) campaign of popular educa
ton as to the nature, control, and prevention OF
hookworm disease, and (4) persistent effort tc
secure the provision of proper sanitary facilities
and regulations by which alone the pollution o.
the soil and the renfection of the population car
be avoided.

disease was, during 1918, conducted in coopera
ton with twelve states in the United States ane
with twenty-one foreign states and countries
Infection surveys were completed in the state OF
Sac Paulo Brazil in Jamaica, and in Guam
New work was undertaken in Queensland, Aus
tralia, and Minas Geraes, Brazil. As q result o.
the demonstrations of the board, number o.
governments, quite on their own account, have
inaugurated hookworm control measures.

ARMY WORM is
BUSY IN tender
COTTON PLANTS
Prompt Action in Use of Cal
cium Arsenate is Urged as
Remedy.

| The cotton army worm is active in
the tender young cotton in the coun-
ty, as result of the past three days
of wet weather; according to reports
reaching The Graphic last night.
Prompt action, however, in the use
Of calcium arsenate, will destroy the
pest and permit of young cotton
fruiting, unless the plant is entirely
stripped before the worm is annihi-
lated.
j. Yves. Baldwin, deputy sheriff
and planter, visited his Grassy Lake
place in the northern section of the
county yesterday and found the army
worm at work, doing heavy damage
IN the grassy, tender cotton. Other
fields in the vicinity of the Baldwin
place were similarly affected. Re-
ports from the Noble Lake section
also tell of the presence of the army
worm, which seems to be restricted
almost entirely to the bottom lands,
with the worst damage in new and
grassy fields, where cotton is tender.
With the period wherein the boil
weevil can do extensive injury almost
past, it is believe dthat the amry
worm damage can be held down by
the prompt use Of calcium arsenate.
One application of this is sufficient to
destroy the army worm, and unless
the plant has been stripped of foil
age, they will produce cotton, for the
calcium arsenate does not burn or
injure the young plant. Calcium ar
senate is preferred to Paris green by
the experts because of this advan-
tage. Applied with the dusing ma
chimes, the poison is distributed over
the entire plant, and not just upon
the top leaves as when the old me-
thods of a mule and bays is used.
Jefferson has an ample supply of
tested calcium arsenate, and a num-
Der OF dusing machines, as result of
the initiative of County Judge R. H.
Williams and the far-sightedness of
planters he interested in "prephr-
edness" against the weevil and worm.
Calcium arsenate and busters are
available to any cotton grower in the
county, upon application to C. H.
THOMAS and Joel. Lambert, county
farm demonstration agents, who will
be glad to give any assistance they
can.
1"'The calcium arsenate, distributed
with the buster, is more thoro, effec-
tive and more economical than the
old method" said Mr.. Thomas last
NIGHT. eve have quantity of this
poison. which has been tested and
will not burn. and we know the own
ers OF busters. Mr.. Lambert and
will willingly render any assistance
we can in destroying the weevil and
worm. All the farmers have to do is
to call upon u.s."

HAUBER THEATRE.

In "The New Moon," Norma Tai
madge is given an excellent oppor-
tunity to display that remarkable
versatility for which she is famous.
She is first presented to us as a
Russian princess in the exquisite
gowns and jewels of a person of such
wealth and position Young, beauti-
full ard proud, she gives the charac-
ter of Princess Marie Pavlovna life
and all the small necessary touches
that one would never look for. but
nevertheless miss if they were lack
imp.
Later, we see her in a role directly
opposite to that Of tho princess. As
a neasant. in tho rough. badly made
clothes of the Russian girls, she is
happv. carefroe-no longer proud
hut meek as becomes one of such
standing. Rut her Unborn power to
rule comes to the fore, even in this
low'v position.
Having disguised herself as a
peasant p'rl so as TO be safe from the
pent-up furv Of the anarchistic mob
who had attacked the palace, the
nrincess goes to neighboring prov
ince and takes refuge in small
store. When the derree ordering the
Matchmaking of all the women comes
TO the village tho princess refuses
| to register and irrites the rest of the
women to follow her example.
Miss Talmadge studies her roles
before she enarts them. She puts her
heart and soul INTO the character she
| is assuring. She is true actress.
| She makes these two Russian chor
acters live as one would believe It
was impossible for anyone else but
a Russian oirl to do. She is superb
and tho picture is remarkable. full
of thrills. heart-throbs and smiles
"The New Moon can be seen TODAY
and tomorrow at the Hauber theatre.
