In the last international sanitary con-
vention held in Paris in 1925. 1t was
agreed by the sanitary representatives
from every country Of the civilized
world that in case of an epidemic OF
smallpox typhuS, cholera or plague, let
i ters. printed matter books, newspapers,
business documents, etc, shall not be
subject to any sanitary measure. Only
post parcels may be restricted II their
contents include certain things not 9TH
erwise provided for in the articles OF
this international convention.
A very good idea of the present con-
sensus of opinion of the worlds sanitary
authorities may be gained from the pro-
visions Of article 13 Of the convention.
Section III Measures at the ports
and on the departure of vessels.
Article 10.
The competent authority shall be OBJ

sons showing symptoms OF plague, chol-
era, yellow fever eXanthematou5 typnus

lations with the sick as to render them
selves liable to transmit the infection OF
these diseases.
2. In the case of plague. to prevent
rats gaining access to ships.

Not so long ago this writer had the
ternerity to suggest that city life was
more dangerous than farm life, and that
in the struggle with dangers the city
child developed. The farmer and his
wife Immediately few to the defense
of their environment and pointed out
its numerous dangers in such detail
that henceforth 1 shall be quite con-
tent to stay quietly in the safe city.
The article grew out of an interesting
discussion of teachers from all over the
country in a class on "Heredity and
Environment" The subject dealt with

cepted that the farm was protected"

ions can only be just that. however
one may judge by appearances. My life
has been spent in an agricultural COM
munity, but in a city, not on a farm,
though I have visited on farms enough
to at least have an opinion about them
It is interesting to hear the other side,
and the letter published is typical of
those received. All tremendously re-
sented the imputation that farm life
was safe.
Mrs. e. B. writes II think you know

these roads, not on sidewalks and

How many times have you read of
children drowning in watering troughs
or having limbs broken In falls from
loads OF hay, or on concrete floors from

even killed, by pigs kicked by horses,
dragged in runaways. And these ac-

Milk for Growth.


God could not be everywhere therefore
He made mothers.
Jewish Proverb.
Would you advise the use Of nut
butter for a 2l-month-old baby2 My
baby seldom drinks more than glass
of milk daily, and never more than one
pint He is very fond of the nut butter
so feed him plenty of it, hoping it
will make up somewhat. Have tried
chocolate and matted milk. Can you
suggest anything to invcigle him into
drinking more MILK" MRS. 3.
There are three reasons why milk is
such a good food and these are: /. It's
complete protein building and repair
food. 2. It's lime (calcium) (neces-
sary for proper chemistry of the body
and bones and teeth. g. Its growth
vitamin. In order to evaluate nut
butter as a substitute for milk we would
have to think Of these qualities for any
dict, but naturally they are more i'm
portant during growth.
The chief nut buffers are peanut
and almond. Both of them have very
high-grade protein. Animal expert
monts show it is good building pro-
tein. so on the first count they are
alright.

Last Autumn a number of women I
know took their coats of the previous
season to the tailors and had the fur
carefully removed from the hem. md
some Of them had the flares removed
to conform to the straighter lines. And
this season-if the old coat is sill on
hand-they may wish that they hadn't,
because fur borders are decidedly smart
and fashion again turns with approval

new use of fur on cloth coats. Jane
Pegny has a fiare-from shoulder
coat with a band of fox fur over foot
wide all around the hem and cuffs as
bis as muffs. This coat is of velvet or
velveteen and is made just short enough
to show two or three inches of the vel
vet frock beneath. Often the fur border
is, as it we're. broken. marking merely
the edge of the circular godet at the
sides of the coat. Often there are what
appear to be f1ounc>s with circular
edge which is outlined lavishly with
fur. Various sorts CT fox furs are used
for these wide bant,ings and sometimes
fatter furs such as Persian lamb, beaver
or squirrel.
With these new fur-trimmed cloth
coats there is no association of econ
omy. That is, one would hardly choose
a coat so lavishly trimmed with fur in
stead of an all-fur merely because it
was less expensive, because as matter
of fact such coats are anything but in
expensive. With the new wide cuffs
each as big as a muff-enormous
shawl collars and wide flaring fur border
almost as much fur is used as would be
needed for an all-fur coat.

coats a season or so ago was, I think,

enemy Of GeorRia's apple industry.
In seeking n method TO combat
the meth, Z. Lee Worsham, state en-
tomologist, learned that California
produces a tiny parasite known as
the calchis fly, which attacks and de-
stroys the eggs Of other insects. He
found, however, that the tempera-
mental insects cannot survive more
than five days Of railroad travel, and
ii was therefore impossible TO get
them TO Georgia by train.
So when the air mail service be-

The initial link of the cross-country
hop will be made via the present
