Acute indigestion is caused by
eating 'deconlposed canned goods or
tainted meats: food that is hard to
digest; eating too rapidly and Hot
chewing the food properly; or ex-
cessive Indulgence in spirituous liq-
uors. Swallowing liquids which are
either too hot or too cold may also
cause this trouble.
Persons most liable to acute in
digestion are those who live in bad
hygienic surroundings; those who
are in a rundown condition: those
who are subject to govt or rheuma-
tism: or those who have chronic in
digestion.
An attack of acute indigestion is
usually ushereL in by a feeling OF
uneasiness, or fullness and distress
In the stomach: a lump in the thoat
that disappears IN swallowing and
immediately returns again; and
there may also ge thirst, nausea,
vomiting, and the belching of gas
or LIQUID, and sometimes the vomit-
ing of u~ndigested food.
The tongue is usually coated, and
there may be headache, dizziness
dizziness, or extreme nervousness.
The bowels may be either loose or
constipated. and the patient may
have pain in the stomach and abb
domen. There may also be a cray-
ing for sour drinks.
The patient should be made to
yomit by giving large drafts of
warm water, either plain or mixed
with mustard "a teaspoonful of
m ustard to a glass of water). one

cup of water followed by others I'M
tial the desired result is obtained.
Warm salt water may also be found
useful for the same purpose.
After the stomach has been emp
tied and hot water can be retained
for half an hour, give a dose of BIZ
carbonate of soda. Hot poultices
over the region of the stomach and
abdomen will relieve the pain,
should any exist.
The patient should be kept in bed
and the stomach given an absolute
rest for about "a hours after which
boilel milk or liquid food only may
be administered for a couple of
days. A full diet should be resunl-
ed very slowly.
Swallowing a Penny
Q. My little girl swallowed n
penny. I gave her a large dose of
castor oil. and have been giving her
lots of milk to drink. Do you think
there will be any i'll effects from it?
She is just past three years of age.
A. 1 am glad to be able to tell
you that the penny your little girl
swallowed will probably do her no
harm. 1t is not necessary to give
her any cathartic. Instead. her
diet should be liberal. and should
include oatmeal. bread and vege-
tables. Food of this sort leaves
considerable residue which will be
useful in passing the penny along
the intestines. She may have a
little colicky pain. but in the ma
jority of cases there are no symp-
toms whatever. The object swal-
lowed 10 usually recovered from
the stool in from -four to ten days,
but it may require a considerably
longer time to pass through the
intestines.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW NJ SOULE

Some Data on Middle Georgia Soils
The soils of middle Georgia are
among the most valuable in the
state. For the most part they are
red in color. The Cecil clay and
clay loans predominant in this Sec
ton. That we should study our
soils carefully is evidenced py the
pitiable condition int. which many
Of them have fallen. We see eroded
fields and washed landscapes on ev-
cry hand. This sort of practice can
not continue indefinitely unless we
wish our state to become deCadent
agriculturally. The soil survey work
carried forward by the chemical di-
vision Of the Georgia State College
Of Agriculture shows that already
seventy soil series have been found
in Georgia, and that 270 soil phases
have been found and classified.
Surely nothing else is required to
demonstrate the complicated nature
of tho soil problems and the definite
relationship which a scientific knowl-
edge and investigation Of this sub
ject bears to profitable agricultural
production. I do not think that
any more valuable work has been
done in the interest Of the farmers
of Georgia than through the prose
cution of the soil survey, and am
sure that some of the findings in
connection with the survey recently
completed Of Wilkes county, Geor-
gia, will prove both helpful and in

The Disarmament Farley

AS the time of meeting draws near
the interest increases as to what
will come out of this matter of dis
armament, and especially the atti-
tude of the foreigners who are COM
ing to this conference towards stand
ing armies.
These matters are vital and they
will affect the welfare Of millions
upon millions of human beings, who
will have no opportunity to say a
word for or against in the confer
enCe.
In my humble sphere I can only
testify for the mothers Of this coun-
try of ours-in America.
Every man in these great stand
ing armies has had his mother.
Many of these mothers could speak
in trumpet tones as to their choice
if they were called upon to testify
on November 18th.
Mother love comes next to divine
love in it's intensity of affection, for
bearance and endurance. 1t goes
without saying that mothers do not
desire Wars-their utmost endeaVor,
from the birth of a son, is to insure
safety, protection, comfort, quiet eX-
istence, and Hbertyee to enjoy life,
liberty and happiness. No mother is
ever anxious to thrust her child in

! helpless German mothers. Their
boys were driven to the battle front
by the chief on the throne. They
had no opportunity to protest against
the sacrifice of their sons. There
was no regard shown to their wishes.
: They were like sheep, dumb before
the shearers." L shall hold the opin-
ion to the latest day of my life, that
American parents should have been
privileged to vote their wishes be-
fore the war declaration of 1917.
1t is a fact beyond dispute that
the election was controlled by the
woman vote on the Pacific slope in
1916.
"He kept us. out of war;" was the
Wilson slogan that carried his re-
election to the White House.
AS before said, the wishes of the
American mothers should have been
sufficiently consulted to make the
public understand whether they were
willing to have their own sons go
over to Europe to rescue the Allies
from the iron clutch of the kaiser
Perhaps nobody. but the mother could
understand the mothers point of
view. [ may mistake the temper of
American mothers, but 1 feel sure
they would speak and vote against
the forcib1e entry of their own flesh
and blood into foreign wars
