Proper food and cleanliness are a, child's outstanding needs, according to Carolyn Conant Van Blarcom, formerly instructor in the John flopkins Hospital School for Nurses, and author of "Building the B<l)>y" and , other books for mothers. "Most of the illness and death among infants is due to errors in .feeding, to infection or to both," she says. "A properly fed baby will resist infection much better than a b_aby_ who is not properly fed. Suitable food is the most important factor in the care of babies." "There are three factors to be observed," asserts. Miss Van Blarcom. "The milk must be made up according to a carefully drawn formula. It must be fresh and clean. It must be kept cold. The necessity of keeping milk at a temperature that is constantly and evenly cold cannot be over emphasized. "No matter how good the milk is, when it is delivered to you, if it warms up to a temperature above 50 degrees Fahrenheit for even a short time, the spoiling process begins. "The baby's milk must be kept cold all the time and the most satisfactory way of doing this is to keep it in a modern electric refrigerator. "Baby's feeding is too important to be guesswork," states Miss Van Blarcom. "It should Ik* adjusted to the needs of each baby according to its weight, age and general vigor. The doctor should be consulted as to the formula to be used. "Certified milk should be used so' as to be sure that the milk is fresh, wholo and not skimmed. It should! he free from disease germs, contain' no preservatives and should be about. the same composition every day. As soon as the milk is received, it should be placed in an elertric refrig-! orator." The government has issued a num-1 her of booklets on the projn-r preset- j vation of milk. Mr. Arthur Smith. I manager of the Camden Furniture1 company, distributors of General Fleetric Refrigerators, declared that in booklets on the preservation of milk ami other foods issued by either the I'. S. Department of Agriculture or the Health Bureaus of large cities, the correct temperature at which they should be kept is an important item." "Bulletin No. 'J8, issued by the L'. S. Department of Agriculture," reports Mr. Smith, "states that at a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, bacteria multiply less rapidly, but between 50 degrees and 100 degrees Fahrenheit the increase is very fast; hence the necessity for thorough cooling and the maintenance of low temperatures until used." "The Tublic Health Leaflet No. 1, published by the Now York City Department of Health, quotes, "To prevent decomposition of milk, even though sterilized, it must be kept cool at or below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.' "Mothers are learning the necessity of keeping baby's milk and the family's food as well, at a constant low temperature to keep it fresh and wholesome. The Government and city dispensaries have done much to make known the vital importance of correct food, well kept to maintain good health." ?

Joslyn, of Omaha, known as "the richest citizen of Nebraska. She has given up control of the estern Newspaper Union, an $11,000,000 organization, retaining for herself a $5,000,000 interest. The company which veteran employes no ,v control operates plants in* 26 cities in the United States and supplies material for more than 7,500 small weekly newspapers in the rural sections of the country. In 1928 the company earned profits of more than $750,000. Besides, the company conducts one of the largest advertising agencies in the country and, through a subsidiary, is one of the nation's biggest dealers in paper. There are other millions invested in miscellaneous business or! ganizations. Mrs. Joslyn has a personal fortune estimated at $15,000,000 or $20,000,000, but she lives modestly in Omaha, i She came into control of the huge fortune following the death of her husband. Today she is building a $2,000,000 arts building in Omaha as :? memorial to her husband. Mrs. Joslyn is not interested in society but she does take a prominent part in all civic affairs. Last year she was honored as the most prominent citizen of Omaha, and in the chamber of commerce she was presented an engraved parchment telling of the things she has done for the city. Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn arrived in Omaha years ago from Vermont. Seven, dollars was all the money they possessed, and Mr. Joslyn obtained a job as a laborer at a wage of $7.50 a week. In a month br became a watchman and his pay was increased two dollars a month. There were other promotions for this hard-working Yankee, however, and interest in the company which employed him. He became manager of a branch in another city. As soon as the branch office was operating smoothly, Mr. Joslyn rentled a hotel and became its manager. Finally he entered the printing business whah was destined to make him wealthy. But even the printing business was not enough to consume all of Mr. Joslyn's energy. He U-gan manufacturing starch and eventually became the biggest maker of this commodity in the West. Other business interests were added until his fortune became the largest in Nebraska. Despite all his business interests, Mr. Joslyn never forgot employes who had remained with him through many years of hardships and whi>m he credited with doing much to bring about what success he attained. That his widow should share his business with these men and women was *. wish he often expresed "before his death. T6 Use Iodine Design.

Clermon College, Aug. 19.?Two bushels per acre, not ten, is reconiI 9' mended for sowing barley, a very obvious typographical' error in a recent story on this subject having given the wrong amount in quoting 8. Mi'liyare, Anderson county farm agpnt, in a Farmers' Week talk. Mr./;JByarh' ( suggestion*, correct in all details, are repeated below; "Most farmers do not fully appreciate the value of oats as a feed crop. I More f<-ed can be produced With nti acre of oats than on an acre of corn J and it can be produced more economically. Another thing about growing ^oats?it does not compete f<frr labor that is needed in the cotton Aeld*. Planting oats in .the fall enables a person to produce a crop without [competition with the cotton crop exjcept at harvest time and this is soon over. j "Mr. Sam Bowen is one of the most successful oat growers in Anderson county. He plants in early October, seeding at the rate of two bushels per {acre, two rows to the cotton middle. The oats are put in an open furrow with an ordinary fertilizer distributor and subsoil plow. At planting time about 800 pounds of high grade fertilizer are used, and in late February or early March the oats are top-dressed with nitrate of soda, 100 to 100 pounds per acre, and the oats thoroughly harrowed. The eott^p stalks are cut any time during the winter when weather conditions permit, Mr. Bowen used the Appier variety. His yield has la-en more than 50 bushels per acre for the past ten years. "Winter beardless barley is extensively grown in Anderson county for seed and for feed. It is planted in October at the rate of two bushels per acre. Seeding is similar to seed ing of oats. Land that will product20 to 25 bushels of corn per acre will produce more than that much barley. For bay barley is cut a little beyond the bloom stage. It makes a heavyyield of hay of excellent quality. "Fiatn. the T*te or^-haL bushel per acre for seed purposes, or one bushel per acre for cover crop. For seed purposes dont plant too early. We plant November 15."
