Returned Soldier Approves Bar
barous Treatment Accorded
to Filipinos.

'If the United States Government
had had general on every island of
the Philippine Archipelago of the type
of Smith and Bell, the Filipinos would
have been reduced to subsection long
ago. The water cure and the other
strenuous methods sanctioned by these
officers are not half severe enough to
bring the instructors to realization
of the sovereignty of the United
States Government in the Philippine
Islands.
''If the Filipinos are to be whipped
into line, these tactics must be en-
ployed."
So said @. N. Beck of 1915 Seminary
place, late private In Company Q.
Twelfth Infantry, U. S. A., who has
just returned to this country after
three years. honorable service with
the Philippine field force.
With considerable naivete Beck
acknowledged that he had been wit
ness of or participant in fifteen "water
cures" most of which resulted fatally.
SIT is absolutely the only way to
handle,the Observation-Disclosures who
is the moststub creature on earth, "
said the soldier, land it is the most
effective manner Of spreading among
the savages wholesome dread of con-
fict with United States authorities.
''Our method of treatment was to
throw the subject to the ground, jab
bamboo tube down his gullet and pour
away, sometimes alternating with
wet sand. We could tell when the pa
tient was full when we could beat on
his abdomen as on drum.
"If he still showed an inclination to
be communicative we would then
proceed to eliminate the water from
his system by jumping on his disten-
ded stomach. By this time the Fill
Pine was usually dead.
SAT Pillar, in the general advance
in Samar last Fall, we captured 300
pound Visayan. He was sullen fel
fellow and refused to give us any III
formation of Lucbon, whom we were
seeking.
Sergeant Dean of my company or
dered him strung up. After a while
he was let down, Topping about like g
chicken with it's head off. Still the
fellow refused to tell anything and he
was strung up repeatedly, Dean prod
ding him with bayonet the while.
"This brought the niger to his mil
and he told us what he knew. We lie
up on him for that night and the mex
day orders were given to turn hin
loose.
"But the commanding officer lef
the camp early and the hospital stew
ard determined to experiment on hi
own account. He mixed thirty-si
grains of phenacetine in milk an
forced the Filipino to drink it, but
never faxed him. Then the stewar
tried twelve grains of strychnine, bu
it had no more effect on the nigge
than it would have had on an ell
plant.
"After that the steward gave tt
Job up in disgust and gave the fello
his liberty"

The Americans who are removing

than the 300 land of Iowa, having the
privileges of buying American made

at home and free access to the mark

United States is, by it's protection
laws, expelling it's own citizens and

A sprightly article in the Atlantic
Monthly ventures point of view in re-
Too Much Par. gard to the bring
ing up Of children
that is bold, novel
and refreshing. It is that in many in
stances the modern child is afflicted
with "to much parent" Says the
wriver: "1n these days Of strenuous
parentage it may not be amiss to sug-
gest mildly that there mey be, in the
constitution of q family, such thing
as too much parent. Time was when
being parent was incidental to other
business in life. Our grandfathers
brought up children, a dozen at time,
with a careless familiarity that takes
away the modern breath. Each of the
dozen was disciplined and duly chas>
tened. They were whipped when they
told lies, and occasionally when they
did not. They learned to read at four.
were put to work at five. as a matter Of
course, and developed in due time the
stuff that men are made Of" There IL
much truth in this. Allowing for the
tendency of modern pessimists to ex-
| aggerate the goodness of the good
old times" and admitting that there
are hundreds of children that never get
enough parent, it is still true that in
the homes of the rich and Of the we'll

slant attention. The young idea IS the
object Of so much consideration, is

is summed, watered and dug at by so
many people, that st shoots up most
refined plant, it is true, but not al
ways a very sturdy one. The writer in
the Atlantic Monthly humorously con-
fines his plea to the ills suffered by the
sedulous parent himself. 1--WE pro-
test that he never had chance in life.
Ten to one his parents belonged to the
old school and disciplined him within
an inch of his life. And now his chill
dren belong to the new. He is ground
between the upper and the neither
stone. Only in scattered, precious mo-
i ments does he dare call himself his
own. Late in the evening, perhaps,
when the allimportant child has been
adequately played with and enoour-
aged and developed and put to bed on
his hygienic pillow, there comes mo-
ment when the exhausted parent may
sit down before the fire and draw q
comfortable grown-up breath and
, gather strength and wisdom for the
morrow" But the more serious side
of the case, according to the milwaukee,
Sentinel, is that of the children. The
approved modern and elaborate
method of bringing them up result:
. often in making them self-conscious

Babies Must Not Be Rocked TO Sleep

But doctors are not as a general
rule greatly Influenced by purely senti-
mental considerations, and they have
issued the mandate, Babies should
not be rocked to sleep" This would
at first seem cruel and arbitrary, but
it is not as unreasonable as would ap-
pear 1t is vastly better for the baby
to be undressed and laid down in the
crib. with cool, fresh pillow under
the little head, to drop into quiet
sleep, than to be held in mothers
warm arms, close against her breast,
and rocked for half an hour or more.
With most babies a very little training
will be sufficient to induce them to
sleep when laid down if they have
never become accustomed to the rock
ing. If you are not Spartan enough to
leave the baby while he is vigorously
protesting against this procedure, sit
by the crib and gently pat HIM to
sleep. After awhile even this will not
be necessary. 1t is not only better
for the child, but also for the mother,
as the rocking habit If persisted in,
soon becomes a tax rather than a
pleasure. Arthur w. Yale, MD in
