MUST QUIT EATING CROP BEFORE MADE South Must Stop Time-Honored Sys tem Of Economio Suicide, Says H. G. Hastings Atlanta., Ga.-(Specia)-"The peo ple, of the south must quit eating their cotton or other so-called 'cash crop' before it is made if they ever expect to accumulate wealth and have the comforts and luxuries of life due thMnt," says H. G. Hastings, agricul tural vice president 'of the Atlanta Chamber: of Comme're, and a fore most authority on farm conditions in the southeast. "The south must' stop forever its tintfionored -system -Qf- economic sui cide," says Mr. Hastings. "Advance steps were made last year toward a condition of farm independence in the Cotton Belt. They were forced steps, it is true, but they marked an advance Just the same, and more bread and moat, more grain, forage and other food and feed stuffs were made in 1915 than ever before, with the result ,there are tens of thousands of farm ers better off than in past years, despite short crops and business de pression. "With higher coiton prices, it is going to ho a great temptation to drop back into the old habit of put ting cotton, or whatever other cash crop one mray be growing, in pawn for bread and meat. We are suffer ing today from the old system forc ed on us by conditions following the Civil war, necessary then, but unnec essary now. "Year after year we have stayed in the same old rut as a matter of habit, eating our crops, se to speak, before they wero made, a 3nancially suicidal policy for the farmer, each year put ting his nose a little closer to the credit grindstone. "If the south had not been so rich in natural resources, this system would have bankrupted us long ago. What's the answer? It is home pro duction by each farmer of every dol lar's worth of food and grain supplies needed on his farm that it is possi ble to grow on his own acres. This means good big home gardens; hogs, chickona, cows and something to food them on through the year." TO CURE CHIL1DREN'S COLDS.

No phase of human activity and progress has been further developed, perhaps, than the work of medicine and surgery during this great war. Doctor Beaumont of the White Star line, tells the New York Times that af ter a three months' tour of base hos. pitals in Great Britain he finds that surgery has become more conserva tive through the use of the X-ray. So efficient has the whole hospital serv ice become that men wounded at Ypres were in London hospitals in 12 hours afterward, From the colleges 4,600 surgeons have joined the serv ice, and yet there is need for more. There 'h'as been a great' decrease- in the number of gangrene cases in Flan ders and ldckjaw in France, where the soil is fertile in nourishing the te tanus germs. Antitetanus serum in jected immediately has prevented in numerable cases. Inoculation against typhoid fever is al'so practiced. There have not been three dozon cases of enteric among the British in thin war, while in the Doer war there were thousands. The greater number of the dangerous wounds are caused by shrapnel and high explosive) and not by rifle bullets, which pass clean through and do little harm unless they strike a vital part. Doctor Carrel and Doctor Dakin together have discovered a new antiseptic which seems little short of marvelous in its action. One of the most valuable lessons of the war was the discovery of the wonder ful usefulness of iodine as an antisep tio dressing. Tlfe new discovery re lates to the addition of carbonate of lime and boric acid to hypochlorite of lime, overcoming the objections to the latter. Only a few months ago two French physicians discovered a "poly valent" serum roughly described as "a combination of several serums against different varieties of bacteria." Recent news is that most gratifying I results have followed the use of this serum. The British Medical Journal nays that Americans show faint appre ciation of their medical discoverers. It cites our hall of fame, where poll ticians head the roll, with authors next I and fiction writers at the head of them. This fact is emphasized, the Now York Sun thinks, by the reflection that the name of Morton, the American discov erer of anesthesia, is probably not so well known as the names of a thousand mediocrities.

Please note that if you have a back yard I would make bricks in my spare time." Science and Nature. One great feature of the nineteenti century, from 1850 onwards, was tht extraordinary progress of science and the interpretation of nature. Everywhere it was discovered that by keeping close to the sphere of ro ality, by seeking to understana nature we were able to make large progress not only in knowledge, but also In tiE practical conveniences and utilities of life. If acience won successes in the in tellectual sphere, they were rapidl3 l adapted to the uses of mankind, and the conquest over nature meant not only definite mental acquisition but e larger material comfort. Thus the keynote of the time wat naturalism in thought and utilitarian Iam in morals and social life. Call and see the latest in Baby Car riages and Go-Carto. S. M. & E. H. WILI(ES & CO.
