ing it become nauseated and lose
any trace of an appetite he may
have" the protest read.
Serving Method Hit.
"One Of the prerequisites Of ac-
quiring cure of tuberculosis is good,

were that remnants of food from q
previous meal are sometimes served
and that Clipped glasses are used.
There is an abnormal amount Of
cases of diarrhea and dysentery as

ton is duly recorded on the COM
plainant's chart"
Mr.. Camalier plans to make per-
sonal inspection of the hospital and
report his findings to Senator Nc
Carran within few days.

HOW ABOUT THE FARMERS
VACATI0N?
BY J. E. JONES


The United States was young
when the new National Capital City
became clearing house for plans,
ideas, ideals and programs. The
Columbian Agricultural Society
for the Promotion of Domestic and
Rural Economy" was organized. It
offered premiums to farmers, and
the Fair" it held in 1910 stirred up
lot of interest. An Agricultural
Fair and Cattle Show" was held at
Pittsfield, Massachusetts, the fol-
lowing year. 1t was not many years
later when every State and Terri
tory in the Union had county fairs.
The State Fairs became keystones
to the arch. 4
Fairs were daddies and mothers
to Farm Institutes and to County
Agents. And Fairs are granddads
and grandmas to thousands of All
Clubs all over the nation.
Next to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence the Fair is symbol of
liberty, all because most people
were farmers in early times.
George A. Hamid, editor of Fair
Times and President of the State
Fair of New Jersey, has been offer
ing strong defense for our an
cient heritage: The Fair!
1t is mistake to assume that
the references made in June by the
Director of Defense Transporta-
ton were intended as blackouts for
Fairs. Mr.. Eastman suggested post
ponement under certain conditions,
and he used the familiar text that
"ah unnecessary use of rubber
borne farm vehicles must be avoid
ed for the good of the country" He
