The article outlines home and farm guidance from the Farm Department, including plant lice control using tobacco decoctions and diazinon-like sprays, and poultry fumigation and dipping methods. It covers rat proofing storage, marking chicks, and the value of milk programs in schools to improve child health.
The program, run by a patient teacher club in Indianapolis, is largely self supporting with children paying 3 cents a day for milk and crackers or receiving milk free if unable to pay. Children are weighed and measured, with charts kept in each classroom to track normalcy. Teachers report improved school work and support continuing the effort, aided by Indiana home demonstration agents and county welfare committees. A separate note suggests hog shippers place three 100-pound ice cakes in each car during hot weather to cut shrinkage by about 40 percent, saving money per car.
Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana introduced a resolution urging France to repeal or modify a statute that prevents exhumation and removal of fallen American soldiers. The move argues it is an outrage to keep bodies on French soil and seeks Congress to take a stand aligning with grieving families.
Wood laments foreign burial of American war dead and urges repatriation to U S cemeteries for Memorial Day remembrance. The piece argues national sentiment and cost considerations against long overseas graves, urging authorities to honor fallen by bringing remains home. Also includes an unrelated advertisement for Ballard’s Snow Liniment with pricing details.
