The problem of the milk supply for
the babies is one that has to be solved
all the year round. The mortality from
gastro-intestinal diseases is heaviest
during the summer, but the babies
need pure milk quite as much In the
winter. The eventual wrecking OF
countless baby lives is Inevitable. The
city fathers who make no provision for
the supervision Of the sources Of the
milk supply are not only virtually
asleep. but recklessly extravagant. DR.
Goler's estimate is $500 a month Tor a
city the size Of Rochester. Put oppo.
site this amount the economic loss, due
to the appalling waste of baby life. 1t
is estimated that 875,000 babies under
one year old died in this country last
year. Economists put the financial
value Of each Of these babies at; $50, SO
that the total loss, expressed merely in
dollars and cents. amounted to $33,.
150, O00 And yet physicians say that
at least one-half Of this waste could
have been prevented by the adequate
supervision Of the sources Of the milk
supply.

Frances New Glory,

In this conquest Of the air France
has earned glory Of which nothing
can deprive her. After all the foolish
talk about French decadence IT is re-
freshing to see the aspiring germs Of
France soaring Triumphant into un.
travelled heights. Only America con-
tests her supremacy In a domain which
she has made her own. France may
be proud Of what is happening at
Betheny. The spectacle is one full Of
reproath to ourselves, but we do not
grudge France her glory. We rejoice
In her renaissance. She has resumed
her role as a pioneer Of humanity.

him standing on a reclining position

There are always some men and
women who are willing to sacrifice the
fragments of their self-respect In order
to gain what they imagine to be social
distinction, who will have social dis
tinction even at the cost Of moral ex-
tinction.- Rabbi Stephen s. Wise, He.

The little child that is familiar with
his catechism Is really more eplight-

The kingdom OF God waits because
1t seems to demand too much. To do
good to men and to build up society

gained at the point of pain.-Rev.

To be king in the absolute sense in
