THEY DESERVE PROTECTION

"All children should be protected
against diphtheria at an early age,"
according to a statement just made
by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Health Department "Toxoid,
which can be administered easily and
without danger, can safeguard them
against this serious disease of child
hood.
Parents are urged to have their
children immunized now. A dose of
toxoid can save ckild from serious
illness or even from DEATH Those
who have not been safeguarded
against this danger should be taken
to the clinic or to their physician for
immediate incubation.
Babies eight or nine months old
who have not yet been protected
SHOULD be given toxoid now" DR.. Ril-
ey continued ga first dose of toxoid
is recommended by authorities on the
care of infants at the age of eight or
nine months, or even as early as six
months. A second dose is usually
given later. OF course, protection is
even more strongly urged for child
rem who have passed the ages men,
toned without the protection of tox-
old
ITO keep immunity at high level
a reinforcing dose of toxoid is advised
before children enter school. Those
who went to school or kindergarten
this year without this additional safe
guard, or without ever having been
protected, SHOULD also be taken to
the doctor or to the nearest clinic
for immunization.
Although it is much better to give
the children toxoid late than never,
it is decidedly better to give it to
them at the early ages" DR.. Riley
concluded "This disease usually at
tacks the very young children, and
affects them more seriously than
their older brothers and sisters. 1t is,
therefore, unwise to postpone immun-
ization, because diphtheria is a con-
slant threat to the health of unpro-
tected babies and children"

dog owners feel their dogs mean
more today than they did in peace
time, in addition to SO per cent who
said they had not changed their high
opinion of their dogs. The same sur
vey also sought to find out what
owners would do if the production of
dog foods were cut down. Fifty Eight
per cent of the dog owners questioned
said they would share the family ra-
tons with their dog, and an addi-
tional SO per cent said they would
keep their dog and make the best of
it. Only an infinitesimal -tenths of
one per cent of dog owners said they
would dispose of their dog.
Americas experience with dogs as
a morale factor closely parallels that
of wartime England. After the war
broke out in 1889, the British dis
couraged the keeping of canine pets.
The undesirable effect this action had
on the nations morale-the British,
like the Americans, are a great dog
loving people-soon led to reversal
of policy, and today the keeping Of
dogs in the British Isles is not only
encouraged but their required food is
specially provided for.

TOYS MADE OF ZINC

You can tell Dad and Nom that
you got it from the WPB that there
will be few toy soldiers and minia-
ture automobiles and trucks made
out of zinc on the market this year.
The folks may not be able to buy new
electric lights for the Christmsa tree,
but they can get tinsel and those gor-
geous, colored blown glass orna-
ments. Tell the folks that while toys
will be little higher they will also
be a little better-less paperboard
and more wood and metal. And if you
are looking for ideas to put into a
letter to Santa Claus, here's some in
formation to keep in mind-rubber
for toys, still prohibited; tricycles,
scooters, and other heavy toys, not
being made; electric trains, none but
some new track for electric railroad
maintenance is on the market; toys
with gears, not to be had; some toy
wagons with wooden wheels and
some with metal wheels; fewer sleds
than before the war and some of
them with wooden runners; some
doll carriages with metal chassis,
others with wood; doll carriage tires
to be made of mud" the residue by
product of reclaimed rubber; dolls in
pre-war quantities, with curls, NOV
ing eyes and even voices; plenty of
Teddy bears and stuffed toys; more
of those new plastic doll dishes and
a few modern, steel unbreakable
dishes; both metal and wood con-
struction sets, 10000 of the metal
ones with electric motors; flair"
supply of chemistry sets; limited"
supply of checkers, dominoes, dart
boards and other games this year be-
cause your &c. l." brother is getting

Dog $ Prestige
At a New High
CANNES Win Added Respect For
Contribution On War Front
And Home Front

After 80 months of war the pres
tige of the dog in America is at
new high, states a report of the
Gaines Dog Research Center, New
York City.
Principal reason for this, OF course,
is the outstanding contribution made
by dogs on every front where Amer
leans are fighting They serve in many
branches of the armed services-as
sentry and attack dogs, messenger
dogs, scout dogs, Red Cross dogs,
sledge dogs and pack dogs. Already
many of the dogs have given their
lives in the performance of their du-
ties and in order to save the lives of
the men to whom they were assigned.
But Americas dogs are serving
their country equally well on the
home front. Their companionship is
a stimulus to morale in the home.
They are helping fill that empty
place in the family circle, and they
are protecting homes from which
men have gone to war. An estimated
Is million dogs are in Americas
homes today.
Just how integral part Of the
home the dog has become is indi-
Gated in recent survey which
showed that AZ per cent of Americas

MORE FERTILIZER FOR
FARMERS

An additional ALLEGATION of 1900
tons of Superphosphate has been
made available to Maryland farmers
by the War Food Administration for
use under the 1914 AAA Program,
Joseph H. Blandford, Chairman of
tke Maryland AAA Committee, an
nounced. Approximately 5000 tons
of 20 per cent Superphosphate and
200 tons of IS per cent have been
ordered and received to date.
Farmers wishing to obtain this ma
terial and who have not completely
earned their full 1914 Practice AL
lowance should place their order with
their County AAA Committee imme-
diately. Blandford advised farmers
to place their orders early to insure
prompt delivery. Orders for the 1914
Program may not be taken after No
vember 18th.
Credit for the use of the material
is given under the 1914 AAA Pro-
gram when applied by December 81,
1914, to hay crops, pastures, new
seedlings of legumes and grasses, rye
following vegetables, or winter le-
gume cover crops such as crimson
clover or vetch. 1t was stated that the
purpose of this practice is to improve
the yield of forage needed to feed
increased volume of livestock and to

TIPS ON STORING SUMMER
CLOTHES SAFELY

With changeable fall weather here
and winter weather in the ofing, Miss
Helen Shelby, Extension clothing
specialist of the University of Mary
land, offers homemakers some sug-
gestions about storing the family
wardrobe so that summer clothes will
be in good condition to wear or make
over next season.
Before storing, the clothes should
be washed or cleaned. as spots or
stains are likely to become set on
long standing and then be difficult
or impossible to remove. Perspiration
stains damage fabrics. A wise precau-
ton, she says, is to remove all pins,
buckles, and other metal attachments
that might stain clothes stored with
the slightest trace of dampness in the
fabric. Especially since the war, she
adds, many of these articles made of
metals have not been PROCEED against
rust or corrosion.
Cotton wash clothes should be
washed and stored without starching.
Tests of stored cotton fabrics show
that those with starch or other sizing
tend to deteriorate sooner than those
without. Also, moths, and other in
sects attack starched fabric.
Wash clothes may be put away
rough dried and carefully folded, or
may be given quick press to make
them fold more smoothly, hold. their
shape better and require less space.
Miss Shelby states that garments
may be packed in covered boxes,
trunks, or chests, or may be hung on
hangers in dustproof clothes bags.
Winter cold does not harm fabrics,
but heat, light, dust and moisture
may 1t is best to choose clean dry
place away from the furnace or heat
ing pipes.

CHINA RELIEF WORK

The renewal of fighting and thrusts
of the Japanese into western China
has very much upset the program and
plans of relief which have been car
ried on by American churches, &C
cording to word which has come from
DR.. Robert T. Henry, Methodist mis-
sionary serving as head of the China
Relief Committee in Chungkin 6
"The dislocations of the work and
the evacuation of the faithful work
ers has been heart-breaking," he
writes. "In the major fields of opera
ton, Kwantung and Honan, we were
reaching the point where tkis years
good crop would help the people to
have again a full bowl of rice. But
now these sections are about overrun.
This means the loss of tools, cows,
pgs, chickens, grain. Thus the refu-
gees are again on the road. Travel is
so difficult that those leaving with
funds soon become refugees and in
need of help. Seven years of uncer-
tainty brought about by war, famine,
and floods do leave their marks on
the spirits of men and women. We
are having now to open up more re-
lief centers and emergency hospitals.
The church work is also seriously af-
fected. We are encouraged, however,
by the resourcefulness and courage
of our Chinse co-workers as the mis-
sionary has had to withdraw from
Fukien, Kiangsi, Hanon, part of
Kwangsi, and Kwantung provinces
Officials and military personnel have
been most helpful in this evacuation.
These missionaries on a thin line
across and along the borders of Free
China have been Christ's representa-
tives in working for understanding
and friendship"

SOYBEANS VERSATILE, EAST
AND WEST

Contrasting the use of soybeans for
food in the Orient and in the Western
World, W. ]. Morse, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture specialist on the
crop, says that " more versatile
plant than the soybean has never
been known to science
In the Orient, he says, the most
commonly used soybean food pro-
ducts are bean curd or tfu (fresh,
fermented, dried and frozen), bean
milk, various forms of fermented
paste, bean flour whole BEAM,
roasted bean CONNECTIONS (cake and
candies), green vegetable beans, soy
sprouts, coffee substitutes, numerous
health drinks (roasted beans and
bean flour), boiled beans with rice,
millet, and kaoliang), soy sauce, and
bean oil in cooking The Orientals
prepare the soybean in hundreds of
ways and can produce almost any
flavor of meat, fish or fowl with the
various soybean products.
In the Western World the soybean
and its products have attracted at
tention as food at various times, but
only within the last three or four
years have there been general inves-
LEGATIONS by commercial interests.
Many food concerns are now manu-
featuring products wholly or in part
from the soybean; such as baked
beans, canned green beans, roasted
beans, breakfast foods, soy butter,
candies, chips or meats, chocolate,
and other beverages, coffee substi-
tutes, crackers, curd or cheese, dia-
bette foods, flakes, favoring, fiours
and -four mixes, grits, health foods,
ice cream powder and cones, infant
foods, lecithin, macaroni products,
matted products, meat like products,
milk substitutes, puffs, soy sauce,
sandwich spreads and toast.
In the United States, the products
receiving the most attention are -four
grits, flakes and soy meats, of which
soy -four is the most widely used.
There are three general types of soy

fat

. NAZIS ARE USING ARGENTINE
AS BASE FOR NEXT WORLD WAR

With defeat certain in Europe,
Nazi militarists are firmly entrenched
in the Argentine, perfecting plans
which have been maturing for more
than thirty years for another attempt
at world conquest.
World War Three is shaping up
right in our own backyard and we
have already lost the first battle, in
the opinion of Ray Josephs, who re-
Gently returned to the United States
after five years covering the Latin
American front.
II saw how the German Junkers
and militarists established the New
World footkold which now holds the
threatening promise of destroying
the peace before it is written, and
plunging us into another war tomor-
row, here in the Americas" Josephs
writes in the October issue of Cosmo-
politan magazine.
With an Argentine model of a
made-in-Berlin juggernaut built to
outlast Hitler, the Nazis hope it will
give them chance to go under
ground on tkis continent to plan an
other try at world domination, in the
opinion of competent authorities con-
tacted by the writer.
