This Ia the first season In the history
physicians have had the opportunity OF
preparing their little patients for the hot
weather and getting them In condition
as the athletes say-to resist the various
Summer complaints hat harass and
plague child life. II is always n salts
faction to ave trouble and prevent suf-
fering. and the staff doctors consider II
a privilege TO be able to treat the babies
before the alarming second Summer.
Instead OF having TO wait for disease
to develop. children who are cross. who
feel bad and look Ill are taken In hand
and put in repair. Warm, s~leep-inducinR

foods, regular outings n innnitesimal

Numbered. and in a surprisingly shor
space of time the pale. restless. crying
child sleeps half the time and laughs and
grows fat the other half.
At this season of the year some fear
full blunders are made by t~houghtless
nurses. An odd day or two OF sunshine
are allowed to run barefoot; flannel gar
ments are cast aside; housekeeping,
with It's attendant draughts, dampness nd
irregular meals, is undertaken. and when

delicate little ones fevers.
Teach mothers intelligence In the care
OF their families one of the health
officers says. 'and there will be less sick

That Is exactly what THE Evening

their efforts will count In the noble en-
deavor of the sanitary service to keep
down the death rate OF infants and young
children. Babies who would otherwise
get a dose of soothing syrup are put In

ties of sterilized milk are prescribed
mothers are given instruction in prepar-

and by these rational methods ever so

The Single-TnN Theory.

To the Editor:
Thomas J. Sanford disagrees with IS. D. D."
in his definition OF wealth. The important point
is not a correct definition OF wealth, but how can
we obtain III With good health and FREQ access
to all natural opportunities, wealth would soon
define itself. He also states one of a dozen fall
lacies with which he is familiar that exist In the
G nglc Tax system. He speaks of a farm on which
oil had been discovered. and says that under a
Single Tax system the farm would increase in
value and the tax also would be increased.
Would not the sama thing occur to-day under the
present SYSTEM When the supply of oil failed
the farm would revert to the original value; so
would the tax. No one would be compelled to
pay more than the rental value Of the opportunity
used by him. This value might decrease as we'll
Gr increase, Us in the case OF a used up oil we'll.
I would advise Mr.. Sanford to read Henry George
on the subject. He will then be in a position to
see the weak points in this question and to clearly
poln them out. When an attack is to be made,
always be thoroughly loaded with the subject.
Henry George will furnish thoughts for both
sides, and is. as well. a model in concise. logical
reasoning. Y. X. Yonkers. N. Y.

Everywhere is life expanding. growing. BURST

The whole universe. from the largest boundary to

From the globules Of mist up to the spheroidal
earth and to the distant and still larger
spheroids. all Is as an egs-on egg within an egg

germs. We were once but little germs. lying
dormant In Gods secret storehouse. He touched
us by his own laws OF love. and In an instant
we sprang into lifo. endowed with every attribute
that would be ours through our existence. Those
attributes we can never tear wholly from our
selves. though we may curb and guide and
govern ourselves by the laws Of reason. thus
directing our growth to forms of beauty and holy

A Loaf of Bread Weighed.

To the Editor:
After reading the letter Of "a. E. L. who
signs himself lone who knows the bakers trade
I dropped In a large store where they keep all
kinds of bread. l asked the proprietor II he
would weigh n hve-cent loaf Of bread. He did 30.
and 1t weighed 10 ounces. He also told me that
he had often weighed bread. and he told me It
was nearly always a little short Of a pound.
Now, the readers Of THE Evening World can
easily see who knows most about the weight OF
a nve-cent loaf nv weighing a few. The people
are charged nve cents a pound for bread simply
because they have got used to that figure. 1t is
not right that the public does not have the ben
eft of the low Wholesale price Of -four. And even
at the extravasant prices the bakers do not make
their bread to weigh full weight. There can be
no argument about this. All any one has TO do
