Health Aide, Alarmed
By Ringworm Spread
Asks Special Clinic

Alarmed by the spread Of scalp
ringworm among the Districts 100,-
900 public and private school chill
dren, DR.. Joseph Murphy of the
Health Department has requested
establishment Of public derma-
tological clinic and more barber
shop inspectors in the Bureau of
Sanitation.
DR.. Murphy, in charge of school
services, yesterday submitted to DIR.
George G. Ruhland, health chief,
a lengthy report on the incidence
of ringworm. He asked also that
special lamps to detect ringworm
be placed at strategic schools
throughout the city.
Meanwhile, the Executive Board
of the District Medical Society has
issued advice to parents of all chill
dren under 16 years to refuse to
let BARRIERS use electric or any
other type of clipper on the chill
dren's heads. DR.. r. Lomax Wells,
chairman of the Public Health Com
mittee of the society, pointed out
that the meshed teeth of clippers
are hard to clean of the tiny hairs
that cause the disease.
DR.. Murphy said that ringworm
has affected as high as 10 per cent
of the students in some schools and
has not affected any students in
others.
The same uneven distribution"
is also seen in the 1000 children ex-
amined by the Health Department
in public clinics, he said. OF these,
352 lived in Northeast Washington,
242 in Southwest Washington, 228 in
Northwest Washington and 1876 in
Southeast Washington.
DR.. Murphy has asked his supe-
riors to arrange for the loan of a

Grease vitoIIy Needed

The people on the home front in Holmes County
certainly can not be accused of not doing their part in the
war effort. We have furnished our boys and we have
produced war necessities in bountiful quantities; most OF
our pine forests have been denuded in supplying lumber
and pulpwood; most of the communities have saved fats
and paper; so all in all, the people of Holmes County have
doing a big job in an excellent manner.
We are now being asked to strain our efforts some
more in collecting fats for the war effort. In 1914 there
was a shortage of $50 million pounds of fat and it will be
to fill the 1915 quota of tallow and grease. Getting this
amount of kitchen fat is going to require close coopera-
ton on the part of everybody. Someone has estimated
that if every family in the United States would turn in
one pound Of grease every month, the quota would be
easily met.
You will be paid four cents pr pound for the grease
you turn in at your community concentration point and
two red points which entitle you to purchase more needed
meat.
. 1t is surprising how many urgent needs we have for
this fat-munitions, medicines, military and civilian
soaps, coatings to protect ships, tanks, fabrics and other
instruments of war, synthetic rubber manufacture and
processing-to keep the army rolling requires one hun
dred seventy million pounds of inedible fats, hydraulic
fluids, including those big bull dozers, lifting mechan-
isms, printing ink and numerous other things.
In Holmes County at the present time, we have the
following business concerns cooperating in this program
and will pay you for your kitchen grease: I. G. A, Lex
ington; Piggy Wiggly, Lexington; A. L. jenkins Market,
Lexington; Jack Williams, Lexington, and Piggy Wiggly
Durant, and Jitney Jungle, at Tchula.
1t is needless to say that it is an urgent necessity to
turn IN your waste fat. Even a teaspoonful is not too
mail to turn in, the requirements are so urgent.

Ceiling Price Raised for Potato Ship
ments to Dehydrating fisnts
Country shippers of white potatoes
and onions who max carlot deliveries
to dehydrating plants may add IA cents
a hundred pounds to their ceiling price
for services required in carlot distribu-
ton, says oPA. Country shippers have
always been permitted to add ID cents
a hundred pounds to the ceiling price
of potatoes for carlot sales delivered at
a terminal market or other wholesale
receiving point. However, manv deny
drafting plants are located in uotato
producing areas and are not In terminal
markets or at other wholesale reeeiv-
ing points. The OPA provision Is ex-
pected to make 1T easier for dehydrat-
ing plants to obtain supplies of white
potatoes from nearby country shippers.
1t is also expected to free freight facili-
ties for other important uses.
Dairy Herd improvements Associations
Show Results
Dairy Improvement Associations, begun
in a small way 40 years ago, is each
Tyear now showing wider results, SAYS
Secretary of Agriculture, Claude r.
Wickard. Effects of the use Of proved
sires are especially significant, result
ing as they do in a healthy rise of the
average milk production Of all the
daughters of proved bulls instead of
outstanding milk production records, of
just a few individuals. Last year the
average production for all of the ma
tons 26 million dairy cows was less
than 1900 pounds of milk; for the half
million COWS Of the Improvement AS
ISOLATION herds it was $500 pounds.
With the increased interest in record
keeping and the rapid development of
Artificial dissemination, we can look for
ward to continuing increases in dairy
COW efficiency. At Beltsvi1le. for ex-
ample, the u. S. D. A. has some proved
Holstein bulls all of whose daughters
average over 10000 pounds Of milk and
over 500 pounds of butterfat a year.
