DELAWARE WOMEN JURORS
FAIL TO SEE SERVICE

The two women drawn for the first
time on a jury in Sussex county since
Delaware ratified the constitution
and became the first state on De
cember 7, 1887, failed to see service
at the Court of Oyer and Terminer in
Georgetown on Monday.
Mrs. Elsie MCGEE Bryan, wife Of
Granville w. Bryan and daughter of
the late Levy Court Commissioner
Alfred H. MCGEE, was excused for
business reasons. The other, Mrs.
Ida j. Fox, of Milton, was present to
answer the roll call. She was some
what disappointed when % names
were drawn from the jury box in the
murder case of Howard Ernest Nor

was not among them. She sat at

that she would have decided the same,

ness, refusal of food and possibly
vomiting Then the stools begin to
be watery and more frequent.
What to do? Try to keep your
baby in excellent health by taking him
to a child health conference, baby
clinic, or your private doctor Feed
him according to the doctors orders
and do not neglect to give him his
orange juice and cod liver oil daily.
Feed the baby at regular times. Boil
his milk for 5 minutes, or you can
use canned evaporated milk with an
equal amount of boiled water Wash
his bottles and nipples with soap and
water and boil them before using.
Screen your house from flies
Wash your hands before handling the
baby. Keep him away from sick peo-
pie.
When the weather is warm and the
baby shows any tendency toward a
digestive upset reduce the amount OF
his food and give him plenty of boiled
water Do not make the mistake made

ADVICE IS GIVEN
AS TO HEALTH OF
BABIES In SUMMER

DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the
State Health Department calls at
tention TO this advice from the Blu
reau of Child Hygiene on keeping the
baby we'll in the summer:
During the hot summer months by
far the most outstanding peril to the
health of infants less than 2 years
of age is diarrhea. A wise mother,
therefore, is one who takes the trouble
to learn a bit about the causes and
dangers of this disease and takes
steps to prevent its occurrence.
"The four chief causes which lead
to diarrhea should be remembered by
the mother.
1. Poor state of nutrition, due to
irregular and improper feeding; OF
to lack of vitamins, especially coo
liver oil and orange or tomato juice
2. The summer heat which lowers
digestive capacity.
3. Lack of cleanliness such as un-
boiled milk, dirty or soiled hands anc
feeding utensils, and flies.
A. A "cold", sore throat or some
other infection.
EARLY danger signs are listless

alone and blue, and had walked the
streets for hours, one block after

and a small monkey. Life all around

she turned to them again, sitting all

that his own pockets had been neatly

He went down to his breakfast in
fury of indignation. But Lily Wal

I'D to the very end she was to defeat

"Well, he did. He said"
But Chris was laughing. The inn

and parcel of the whole domestic sit

became suspicious.

"Tm sorry. I'm not laughing about
Dick. Heaven forbid that l should
laugh about Dick. He's been no
laughing matter"
He sobered, but she was still puz-
zled when she left the room. And
Chris knew then that he could never
tell her the truth. She had too little
to take away what was left. Yet
later on he was to wonder whether he
should not have done so after all; If
he might not have saved her her final
humiliation by so doing, perhaps even
her life.
For all its apparent gaiety, the
spring opened rather cheerlessly in
the house on the hill. Beverly watch
ing her mother, found her languid and
rather withdrawn and suspected that
she was sleeping badly.
Annie Lewis would get up, battle
slowly, dress meticulously. She ha6

hands and then examining herself in

Staunton, but she was afraid of Bev-

How long she could keep up the
masquerade she did not know. She
had made her decision carefully.
There had been a time when some
thing might have been done, but it
meant mutilation, and there was no
guaranty of cure; so she had sat in
her chair in New York surgeons
office and calmly shaken her head.

MOSCOW.-LetterS or diaries are
generally found on German soldiers
and officers killed at the Soviet
German front. The Germans are
fond Of writing, and there are many
such letters and diaries. In many
cases the letters received by German
soldiers have been brought to them
by men returning from leave, and
therefore they are not censored.
The informatin contained IN Such
letters. accordingly, is most accurate.
An interesting feature of recent
letters is that, although the British
cir force has not yet employed Its
entire offensive strength, the Ger
mans are beginning to become sensl-
tive to RAF attacks. They write
sbout their anxiety quite frankly
in letters sent TO soldiers at the
front.
Here are extracts from letter
written by German named Pausch,
owner of an estate near Naumburg-
n-Salle:
Yesterday Hermann Keller visit
eed us, accompanied by an adJutant
of the ARP League. They nave
rented quarters in the Eur Some
Hotel where they will have branch

more than 400 morgens 'about 8oO
scres) is regarded as So-calleo
undertaking of extended self-de-
tense We estate owners are ARP
chiefs for our own property. A few
days ago we attended lecture at
Weisenfelde in the headquarters of
the district branch of the Reich
ARP. 1t was very interesting
Judging by what I have heard. we

but the French, who will never

going to occupy the whole OF
France"
Another interesting letter was re-
ceived by Hans, soldier at the
front, from girl named Ami al
Essen. Here are some extracts:

the last four days we have expert
enced here something terrible.
Those accursed Tommies have been
giving us no rest Karl Is on duty

Whole Sky One Flare.
And here is what Elfrida Plebuch
of Essen wrote TO her husband,
Hans Plebuch, at Field Post 17677:
UNFORTUNATELY there are air raids
every night now. The biggest raid
of all we have ever had was the
night of Sunday, going on Monday.
The whole sky was one fare. In
the entire section around BOrdeck
Station not a single window pane
was left. There were at least 100
American flyers. AS you know, we
have never gone to a shelter. This
time. however, we all went. Many
houses we're razed by fire"
Another letter from a certain
Gerhard said:
The other night we were coming
home from the evening shift Be
fore we got on the streetcar we had
to get out. We tried to walk home,
but such hell broke loose
Tommies roared overhead. From
half past 10 until half past l we
stayed in shelter. Last night was
the same. Flares, candle bombs,
incendiary and demolition bombs,

has yet hit our building, it looks
so much like barracks. I hope
the Tommies won't come tonight"
