"DIET KITCHEN" NAME
CHANGE ANNOUNCED

The Washington Diet Kitchen As
sociation desires to make public an
nouncement OF it's change of name TO
the Child Welfare Society of Wash
ington. The change has been deter
mined by the board of managers at
their regular monthly meeting held
on Thursday, the 1lth instant.
The term diet kitchen" has long
ago ceased to indicate the character
of the work Of the association. Early
in its career it dispensed a pure grade
of market milk to mothers for infant
feeding, either free or at a nominal
cost. 1t has thereby assured a large
number of infants of a supply of
good milk which otherwise may have
been denied to them. The danger OF
impure milk causing intestinal dis
turbances. il not death. in infants has
only been too we'll recognized.
The mere furnishing Of good milk
did not seem to solve the problems
connected with infant hygiene. Ac-
cordingly instruction to mothers in
keeping their babies well has been
added as another function of the as
sociation. This has been made possi-
BILE by the devoted services of a stan
of physicians and nurses. The need
for such instruction seemed an urgent
one; and in the course OF time the
number Of centers where infants were
kept under observation has been in
creased to eight. These centers are
located in different parts of the city.
Mothers have been taught ana have
learned the advantages Of close SUPER
vision of their babies until the third
wear of life.

|DISAyOWS NOTE
BY Won TROTHA
Noske Repudiates Letter Which
Shaped Allies Policy On
Scapa Flow Sinking.

Berlin. Dec. 12.-The German foreign
office does not acknowledge official
responsibility for the letter which Ad-
miral Won Trotha, chief Of the Ger
man admiralty. wrote to Admiral Won
Rueter. commander of the feet scut-
tied at Scapa Flow. 1t is upon this
letter that Britain and France largely
base their assertion that Germany is
officially responsible for the sinking
Of the fleet. y
Denial of this responsibility was
made today in behalf of the govern
ment by Minister OF Defense Noske.
THE letter from the chief of the
admiralty referred to what was q
purely military internal affair of the
German navy" said Noske. Com
munication of its contents to the for
eign ministry was all the more un'
necessary because it corresponded
TIN oughout with the policy which
with the approval of the gov
eminent. had been agreed upon be
tween the foreign ministry and the
admiralty regarding our attitude
pending the negotiations"

FLOODS RECEDE;
DAMAGE HEAVY
Property Loss Of Several
Millions Estimated In

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 12-After having
done damage estimated at several
million dollars the floods which start
ed this week in Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi were slowly receding
tonight Many cities. however. were
stin flooded and industries paralyzed.
This condition applied especially to
those places on rivers which did not
start to rise the first two or three
days.
Montgomery. Ala. probably was the
h&rdest hit Of any of the cities in the
hood area. Street car service Is at
an absolute standstill. the power sta
tions having been flooded. The pub
lie schools have been closed to save
heat and light. The river has over
flowed into the city's artesian well
system. and Mayor Gunter has
warned Of the menace that exists II
the water Is drunk unless II Is first
boiled. The crest of the flood has
been reached. and the river tonight
appeared to be slowly receding.
Many persons were marooned
around the city. but only five lives
were lost. according to latest re-
ports. The toll of human life was
generally small through the three
States.
Train service still was badly de-
moralized in lower Alabama. Mis-
sissippi and Georgia Railroads
suffered heavily from washouts
and Industries from their plants
being flooded. Farmers lost hun
dreds of head of livestock and the
southern portions suffered from
damage to growing crops.

BRIGHT coLoRs REST THE EYES
(From the Detroit NsMs>

rfoh Ine Detrolt NeWS)
 The constant use of the eyes on white paper will in time weaken them and make 1t necessary to seek other employment, or resort to some remedy. Bookkeepers, proofreaGers and those compelled to gaze for hours at a stretch on white surface, should have a number of bright coiors on their desk or near at hand on which the gaze should be allowed to rest at short per iods when the mind is busy with some mental struggle. The bright colors will give relief to the long. constant strain on the eye, and it will be astonishing to those who have never resorted to any such remedy to note the relief secured. Green should predominate Yellow and red with shades of pink should be used. Bright coiored blotters and bright tinted notices or picture cards with birds and flowers as we'll as scroll designs will produce the most relief to weary eyes. Even a bouquet with green foliage combined with the flowers will give satisfactory results. but this is not as permanent as bright colored prints that will not fade for a long time.
