CHILD WELFARE MEETING.

The speakers at the child welfare and anti-tuberculosis meeting Wednesday afternoon presented a number of facts deserving public attention and consideration. “ rs * fr Hopkins portrayed the hard conditions surrounding the children in England and France and explanied the overwhelming necessity felt by our government of preventing such evils in this country. Also the nation has been made to realize the importance of more intelligent mothers and fathers when it sees how many of our young men are i unfit for service because of neglected eyes and teeth or weakness due to preventable childhood diseases. Mrs. John Gwin, child welfare chairman, read a letter from headquarters urging the need of healthful amusements for the children. It is hoped that some of the extremely attractive suggestions made will be worked out as soon as possible. . A „ Miss Biebesheimer’s talk was crowded with thought-compelling facts of which we can give only the following: There are just now in Indiana 30,000 cases of tuberculosis. Last year there were 4,000 deaths from this dreaded disease and for i each death it has been estimated -’there are ten new infections. Five hundred Indiana boys wefte turned back from the army because they showed the symptoms of tuberculosis. This is bad enough for the state, but what about Jasper county?. We pride ourselves on being an enlightened and progressive community, but we have people coming ana going on our streets and in our stores and homes who are in the advanced stages of this awful malady. Some appalling discoveries have 'been made and we are facing the necessity of prompt i action in this direction. What can we do? We can, first of all, join the newly organized anti-tuiberculosis society in this county and pay the one dollar per year membership fee. Every cent of that dollar stays in Jasper county to help rid us of this and other preventable and curable diseases and if one thousand of .us join we shall have a community nurse who will give her entire time to seeing that we and our children have better health. Can one dollar do more than that?

Cause of Despondency. Despondency is often caused by indigestion and constipation, and quickly disappears when Chamberlain’s Tablets are taken. These tablets strengthen the digestion and move the bowels. C

LETTER FROM CECIL R. REES.

7th Company, ! Coast Artillery Corps, Ft. Caswell, N. C. Dear Father and Mother: Well, Man, I got your letter this morning, (July sth), and was very glad to hear from you aIL lam well and doirfg fine and hope you are the same. I like army life -fine. We have better quarters now and better eats. Don’t pay any attention to any body who says Uncle Sam’s fighting men are being starved and have cruel treatment and no clothes for it is absolutely untrue. I will venture to say that I get better treatment twofold than I expected when I enlisted. When I enlisted I expected h—l from start to finish, but as yet I cannot call it that, although I suppose if we ever get to the fighting line we will have it pretty hard, but it is for a very just cause and for the beloved ones at home. I don’t think any of us will ever have to do any fighting in France for the Germans are whipped right now if they were men enough to admit it. We are going to make them pay dear if they (Germans) don’t submit; you dan bank o nthat. If you could see some of the instruments of war that we are soon to use you could at once be assured of victory. Mam in your letter you’re worried for I can tell by the way you write. I do wish you could forget and quit that worry. Don’t think of me being gone forever for I am not and we will all be home sooner than any of you expect. Don’t worry about my welfare for I am taking case of myself and I have spending money left and in far better circumstances than some of my comrades. I have got two letters from you this week already. The mail is coming O. K. now and don’t worry about me not getting any mail for every spare moment I have I should answer a letter. I got one from Leatha and Clarence the other day and must answer it soon. I also got one from uncle Harry the other day. He wrote me an awful nice letter stating that any necessary article I needed to let him know and he would send it to me, but I don’t expect any such thing as that He thinks Harry is on his way to France now. I am serving in the coast artillery and will use principally big guns if I ever get to go to France, but we get the same training as any regular soldier gets so we can defend ourselves if the need be we can use the rifle, bayonet or revolver at close range you know and use the stand by at long range. Don’t worry about me going to France before coming home. . Earl Cox is at Camp Lee, Virginia leafing to be a baker and cook. Uncle Harry wants one of your pictures but I will not send him either of mine because they are mine and would not take anything for any you sent me. As soon as I can get mine taken I will send you some. Uncle Harry said he Would write to you soon. Send me Harry Beebe’s address and I will write to him. Do you know where Herman Knoerger is now. I would like to write to him. I must write to Ernest and Bailey soon. I have not heard from Bertha and Thelma and Edith and have not got any m'ail from 7— * but do not want to write to him you know. I got Glaydys Smith’s letter but have not found time to answer yet. How do the crops look now Pop? Say Pop, why don’t you write, I would like to hear from you too. How are you making it by this time? Is uncle Sol, Edith and Russel still with you? How are the onions and beats by this time and the gardens? Well as I must write one to Leatha and Clarence. Have not heard from Forest lately. Good bye. Write soon. Your Son, CECIL REES.

FROSTED CORN RECOVERING.

Judge George Gifford, of Tipton, is here for a few days to look after matters connected with the B. J. Gifford estate. The judge says while the corn was damaged, a great amount of the corn in his county is coming on in good shape and that the frost had possibly set what promised to be more than a normal crop back to normal. The judge also reports that Director McAdoo has ordered that the Erie and western railroad shops be moved from Lima Ohio to Tipton. If this is done it will add about five thousand workmen to the population of that city which will mean an increase of possibly ten thousand in population.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT LEAMING. Community Club Organized in Jordan. Enthusiasm and determination to make Jordan township the most progressive in the state were displayed at a mass meeting held in the Union school on the evening of July 3rd, for the purpose of organizing a community club. After a thorough discussion it was decided to merge the Literary organization with the new dub and combine the forces of the township for community betterment. The folowing officers were elected: President, Joseph Kolhoff. Vice President, Miss Esther Sage. Secretary, Mrs. Dunn. Treasurer, A. J. Fleming. After addresses by Mr. D. S. Myer and P. H. Hauter on team work the president called on all who would pledge themselves to give their entire support to the new organization and help make Jordan township take a front place to stand to their feet. Everyone present did so with great zest. The next meeting will be held at the Union school Friday evening, July 26th. ‘ Plant Pathologist Finds Disease. R. A. Gillispie, of the bureau of plant industry, Washington, spent some time in the county last week investigating the cereal diseases. In untreated fields he found on the average 6 per cent >of oat smut, 3 per cent of wheat scab and 1 per cent of the loose smut of wheat. He reports a few fields of wheat practically ruined by stinking smut. Strong For Rosen Rye. “The farmer who sows rye this fAll and does not sow Rosen rye is a slacker,” says J. D. Harper, of LaPorte county. “This variety has demonstrated its ability to increase yields fifty per cent and the farmer who dries not adopt it is not working to the best interests of himself or ■his county.” A party from this locality visited southern Michigan early in the week and secured 1,400 bushels of pure Rosen rye to be dirtributed for the Better- Farming Association. Every member of the party came home stating that they had never seen anything that could compare with this variety. Canning Problems.

In the home canning of fruits, vegetables and meats by the oneperiod cold pack'process method a higher grade of rubber rings is required than commonly used in the open kettle method of home canning. These grades of rings are unsuitable for modern methods of canning, as they will not withstand the long periods of boiling or heat required by the new method. The one period cold pack method requires a fubber ring that id tough, fits closely to the neck of the jar, and thick enough to take up the unevenness in the jar. Last year by this cold pack method, one jar out of a hundred was lost. Mort of the loss was due to poor rubbers, amounting to nearly 75 per cent of the out put. Carefully tert the rubber rings for use with the one period cold pack process. • ■ Practical tests for rubbers. Ist. When pinched it does not crease. 2nd. A good rubber will return to its original size when stretched. 3rd. It should fit the neck of the jar snugly ibut requires but little stretching to get it around the neck of the jar. 4th. It should be fairly wide and thick. It is much cheaper to discard a .doubtful rubber than to lose a jar of canned goods. Food Will Win. Food Will Win.

Thrashers Coming! Food administration card in your window. Any change in your plans for feeding these soldiers of the harvest field? There is a grave individual responsibility resting on every consumer to save not only food material, but time and energy as well, in order that as a people we may discharge our sacred duties in helping this country care for its 1,000,000 soldiers. Shall we in this community continue to use “the crowded table plan,” where fried chicken, roast beef, boiled or fried ham, corn, rice, milk gravy, baked beans, green beans, new peas, beets, boiled cabbage, cherry and peach preserves, raspberry jelly, strawberry marm'alade, honey, white flour, hot biscuit* or salt rising and yeast breads, apple pie and frosted cake in bold array contend for supremacy and afterwards make war in causing indigestion, headache and general discomfort, to say nothing of three hours of dish washing, putting away of left-overs for two or three days, and much study for variety on the part of the next hostess? -i

Why not revise this method to meet the regulations of the food administration and where it seems best to serve refreshments in this manner, plan a meal where one meat, some starchy vegetable, and one well cooked green vegetable, marmalade or fruit sweetened with corn syrup, 50-50 bread, pie .with wheatless crust, and some nutritious milk desert with hot or cold beverage would complete a nutritious and economical menu. This plan would eliminate unnecessary expenditure of energy and time, greatly conserve food materials, and more than all be a patriotic expression of our support to “the save food campaign.” If the above method does not seem the best manner of serving our threshing meals, why not adopt the “dinner paid plan,” used in many thresher ring*.

LETTER FROM A SIXTEEN YEAR OLD SOLDIER

Seventh Co., Fort Coswell, N. C., Dear Mother: I received your letter ; this morning and was gald to hear from you. It was the first letter I got from you since I have been here. I got some from Gladys and one from Fern, but I was insulted when I read “my dear little boy,” when I weight 150 pounds. ’ Why call me little when I weigh almost as much as my dad? lam assigned to the 7th company. Don’t put recruit detatchment, for I am a first class private now. I will soon be working on the big machine guns. It is sure something great. I want Fern to join the coast artillery. If he knew what it was, he would, too. How is my woman getting along? I haven’t heard from her for a week. You know I would naturally be worried. I hardly know what a girl is any more. I don’t care; there is nothing worries me at all as long as I hear from home. lam feeling fine all the time. t After a fellow is in the army he has no debts to worry him. Uncle Sam takes cate of them. Say, there *was just now a negro wash woman in here and you know about how a bunch of soldiers would act. Talk about a time, we surely had it. I was just up-stairs and Cecil was sound asleep. We are going to have a big time at the Y* M. C. A. tonight. I am going to jig Oh, I am not dead here. I have some fun. I used to think I couldn’t have fun without girls, but I have more fun than I ever had with girls. When Igo any place I don’t hear some girl crying all the way home like one girl done every time I went to a dance. Ask Fern if he remembers when he said I wouldn’t be away from home more than a month and it has been almost three months since I left Giffrird. It will be three months the first of July and it will probably be some time yet before I come home. You will know just as much about it as I do. I am going t oeat Xmas dinner in the Kaiser’s palace, and I am going to have him pinned to the ground with my bayonet. Say, I am jurt about as pretty as you ever saw, with my hair all cut off. Well I will have to close for this time and will write a longer letter next time. With love. EARL.

Are You One of Them? There are a great many people who would be very much benefited by taking Chamberlain’s Tablets for a weak or disordered stomach. Are you one of them? Mrs. M. R. 'Searl, Baldwinsville, N. Y., relates her experience in the use of these tablets: “I had a bad spell with my stomach about six' months ago, and was troubled for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamberlain’s Tablets. I took a bottle home and the first dose relieved me wonderfully, and I kept on taking them until I was cured.” These tablets do not relieve pain, but after the pain has been relieved may prevent its recurrence.

President Wilson has vetoed the bill fixing the price of wheat at $2.40 per bushel. It is possible that the new local price for wheat will be from $2.04 to $2.08 per bushel.
