NOTES

Perhaps the splendid help now fur
nished~ by nearly all states to poultry
men is the reason for greater Interest
in the production Of eggs and hen meat;
Increased production has forced ali
organizations having to do with poul-
try to make propaganda on health
advantages of eggs and poultry meat In
the human dietary system.
There has not come so far this year
any reports that there was an over
supply Of chicl1s-the enormous in
creased capacity Of the hatcheries
seems to have been completely absorbed
by public whose buying has no appar-
ent limits where chicken flesh and eggs
are concerned.
Coccidiosis, that pern'ciously Insidf-
GUS disease in poultry commonly called
sleeping sickness and which for years
has exacted fearful toll of the poultry
men can be prevented and often checked
and confined to such an extent that but
few losses will occur It is commonly
accepted as a fact that this disease is
spread by older birds, which older birds
are not seriously affected Decided sue
cess has attended the efforts of the
editor of this department in stopping
the raVages of this disease with lime
and a coal tar germicide Of at least
three to one coefiicient of carboiic acid.
The method used is as follows: Com
pletely cover to depth of at least one
sixteenth of an inch all runs used by
an infected flock of youngsters; spray
this lime covering with a 35 to 1 solu-
ton of the germicde indicated, plow
under and again cover soil with Nme
and germicide as was first done; allow
second application to remain until after
first good rain and then harrow lightly.
Corners and other places where plow
cannot reach must be turned over by
hand. Living quarters must be first
sprayed with 35 to / solution of germi-
eide every other day until six applica-
tions are made.
All young birds showing symptoms OF
the disease should be destroyed by e
burning and the well birds should be
moved to new quarters and range.
Cost Of lime and germicide is around
s. per acre, plowing and labor extra.

SCHOOL TAX INCREASED

CONTINUED from first page)
and a poll tax Of $500 for each tax
able.
The State tax laws have not been
changed and all rumors to that eff
feet are false. 1t is through no fault
of the present Board Of Education
that the special levy had to be made.
The trouble lays with Boards of Ed
ucation who functioned years ago
who made no provision to take up
their bonds at maturity, and the
Democratic majority in the last leg
islature whose action in changing
the provisions of the school laws
threw back the Indebtedness on Mil
ford. The tax will have to be paid
this year and next year unless the
next legislature again changes the
school laws. The increased tax is a
hardship to many, but it is unavoid-
able, as it was a legacy of debt left
from the old school system that
should have been paid long ago in
small amounts each year. Now, 1t IS
either pay or have your bills pro-
tested and heavy legal costs be add
ed to the original sum. Our Demo-
cratic legislature and the people of
Delaware who wanted to cripple
public school work are responsible
for the present school tax for the
Special School District in Milford.
The people are now compelled to
meet old bonds of 20 years stand
ing. It can't be helped and the debt
must be paid.

TYPHOID VACCINATION
STATE HEALTH MEASURE
Commission Also EndeayOring 10
Have Corporate Towns Pass
Ordinances

In order to reduce the number of
typhoid fever cases in this State this
year, through eliminating as far as
possible the fly pest and menace, the
State Health and Welfare Commits
sion has had prepared an ordinance
which has been Forwarded the past
week to fifty corporate towns and
cities throughout the state, with the
request to the Mayor or president of
council, that the ordinance be enact
ed.
This ordinance and letter of ap-
peal will be followed up by person
al visits by either DR.. A. T. Davis,
executive secretary of the Commits
sion, or one of his aides, who will
endeaver to explain to the residents
of each town how important it is
that sanitary conditions should be
improved through the proper prOtec-
tion of garbage and other waste ma
terial that has been discarded.
In response to the appeal, the town
of Greenwood has already enacted
such an ordinance as suggested by
the commission. When all other
towns shall have taken similar ac-
ton, DR.. Davis is confident that the
number of cases of typhoid fever will
be greatly reduced.
In addition to these community
measures, DR.. Davis urges all per-
sons to be vaccinated from typhoid.
In discussing this he said, "the time
is now approaching, when many res
idents will leave this state for var
ious resorts for a vacation. We de-
sire to urge upon them before such
departure, that they be vaccinated by
their family physician against ty-
phOid fever. The necessary vaccine
for this purpose may be secured by
their physician free of charge from
this department"
DR.. Davis has just returned from a
trip to Lansing, Michigan, where he
attended a conference of health Off
cials from every state. One of the
details of this conference was the
vaccinating of all delegates and Off
cials with typhoid fever vaccine. DR..
Davis took "shot" along with the
others.
One of the big features of the con-
ference was the discussion of the
success attending the activities of
county health boards. In this con-
nection DIR. Davis has requested the
Levy Court of all three counties in
the state to appropriate $2.500 which
sum will be matched with another
$1,000 by the International Health
Board of New York city and the 3d.
900 thus raised be used to defray the
expense of a county health officer
working in cooperation with and
under the direction of the State
Health and Welfare Commission to
eliminate disease and establish pre-
ventive measures as far as possible.

BABY TALK
BY Florence BascOm-Phillips

THE half Ineligible "baby talk
little Buddy learned sounded
cute to his mother. She taught it to
him, herself, with such speeches as
the following:
"Does muzzer's little snooky-ook-
ums want a d'ink of wawa?" "Does
him love him's muzzy? Sure him do.
B'ess his little heart" "Baby see re
titty tai" "Him wants a nice eggie
to eat, don't him? Yes him do?"
When he began to talk he cOmbin-
ed a little lisp of his own with the
erroneous pronunciation and con-
struction which he had been taught,
and it sounded so irresistibly cute
that no effort was made at home to
correct it. Later, however, when he
entered school, it ceased to be cute
and became a problem. When he was
seven or eight years old I taught
him. He could read as rapidly as the
usual beginner, but there was scar
cely an ineligible word to be heard.
I tried in vain to teach him to speak
plainly, and when 1 left the school
he still habitually lapsed into his
baby lisp and pronounced his words
and chose his constructions irrespec-
tive of any rules ever written.
How unnecessary for child to
start his school life so handicapped!
It was Buddy's sister Edith, a bright
little thing with a clear voice and
distinct enunciation, who had eX-
planned the matter to me. The MEM
bers of the family were then begin
ming to realize the harm that had
been done but were too indolent to
make more than spasmOdic efforts
to correct it. Edith was less than a
year old when Buddy was born, and
since then had spent most of her
time with her grandmother so she
had escaped her brothers predica-
ment.
All parents are not educated, and
fe ware capable of using the best
English, but all can and should use
the most correct English they know
especially in speaking to their chill
dren. The truthfulness of the old ad-
age, "First impressions are lasting"
is proven in nothing more than in
speech.
I remember a classmate of mine
who could not overcome the Occa-
sional use of such colloquialisms as
"yourn" and "hisin," even after fin
ishing her normal course. Her par
ents were very ignorant. I even
catch myself saying "aint" from
home usage, though my parents
knew better. Let us have "good
English homes" instead Of good
weeks"

FIGURE 1T
OUT YOURSELF
What Do the Bankers Mean, "Eigh-
teen Billion Dollars in the Savings
Bank?"
By JOHN OAKWOOD

The bankers keep telling us that
the savings accounts Of the Ameri-
can people total eighteen billion dol
lars. 1 asked a dozen people what
that meant to them. Most of them
seemed to see visions Of endless
stacks of coins and bales of curren-
cy slowed away in the vaults of fine
looking granite bank buildings.
80
Now, as a matter of fact, there is
less than nine billion dollars worth
of money in the country all told, in
cluding gold, silver, nickel and paper
money of all kinds. That is less than
half the eighteen billion. Therefore
there must be something wrong
with the vision of eighteen billion
dollars in stacks and bales in the
bank vaults. More than that, there
probably is not more than one dol
lar for every twenty of that eighteen
billion actually in the savings bank.
90
But the eighteen billion in savings
bank is no myth just the same. Sup
pose all the savings depOsitors could
demand all their money all at once,
and that they insisted on immediate
settlement one way or another when
they found they could not get it all
in cash. What would happen would
be that they would come into pos
session chiefly of bonds-Govern-
ment, state and municipal bonds and
the best railroad, equipment, public
anTsrnTofin7a hnnnc
The savings depositors are really
the owners of all this vast real
wealth. 90
What the bankers really mean,
therefore, is that the savings depos-
itors, so far as money is concerned,
have deposited eighteen billion dol
lars more than they have drawn out
and therefore have credit for that
much in their savings accounts. The
dollars, themselves, that they handed
in, have flowed right on through the
banks-have been sent out to buy
the bonds. That is, the money depOs-
it's have been used in behalf of the
depositors to buy the safest forms of
investments. When man buys a
bond, he really rents his money out
puts it to work to earn him more
money. The savings banks have
done this for their depositOrs.
-
So the picture of idle piles of mon
ey is all wrong. Even a picture of
piles of bonds is wrong if it stops
at that. The bonds represent two
things. First, since they are readily
saleable for cash, they mean that
any individual can get his savings
out again in the form of money with
in a reasonable time. Secondly, and
more important, behind those bonds
loom up the railroads, factories, bus
inesses and public works that the
money invested in them set going
for the benefit of everyone, including
the depositors themselves. Saving,
therefore, is not merely accumulat-
ing money-it is accommodating real
wealth. The money flows on like
water to turn other wheels - the
real wealth and savings of the coun-
try are the accumulated factories
and other enterprises evidenced by
the bonds.
Therefore the true picture of what
the bankers mean when they say the
savings accounts of the American
people total eighteen billion dollars,
instead of piles of money in vaults,
would be factories, railroads and
public works in action.
