 BABIES WAN TED
To Make Important Test-Color and Sex Not Material Must Be
 Under Five Years Old.

The most alarming condition con- fronting the American people today IS our infantile death race. Statistics com piled from reports of the U $. Govern ment and the State Board of Health ot our largest populated states, show that about 37 per cent of our deaths are among children under years of age and 30 per cent under years of age. Of this 30 percent two-t thirds or 67 per cent die from Diarrhoae and Enterltls. This means that in state like Arkan- sas with an annual death rate of 35, OOO, 10, 800 are children under 2 years and 1000 of these die every year with Bac- terial Infection of the Stomach ana Bowels, ordinarily termed BoWell Trouble, Diarrhoae, Cholera-lnfantum, Summer Complaint, Teething Troubles, etc. Statistics also show that no other disease produces half as many deaths among people of all ages as does this one disease of "Bowell Trouble among children under ? years.
 Appalling as these figures are,. how little concern is generally shown Tn the preparation of Foods and Remedies Tn an effort to avoid this greatest of all death dealing monsters.
 To lessen this great mortality among children should be the aim of both our national and state government and the effort of every citizen. With this object in view, arrangements have been per fected whereby %, 900 Arkansas babies, regardless of sex and color, are wanted during the present summer. 1909 to make a personal test of a Baby Bowel Germicide that is claimed by the discov- erers and manufacturers to produce cures in 90 per cent of the cases indl- eating it's use. The name of this Germi- eide is Brooks Baby Bowel Balm, v the constituents of which are given as Laxative, Sedative, Digestive, Neutra- lizing, Aromatic and highly Antiseptic.
 In order that 5000 babies through out the state may each have access to at least one bottle, every Drug Dealer in the state has been notified to lay in an amount to supply the demand, and

THE SUPREME COURT AND THE LIQUOR
 QUESTION

It may be of interest to many to know what attitude the Su- preme Court of the United States has taken in regard to liquor traffic. The following de- cisions, rendered at various times are pertinent to the question:
 There is no inherent right in a citizen to sell intoxicating liquor. v
 No one possesses a contitu- tional right to keep saloon for the sale of intoxicating liquors. y
 "A lawful occupation of yester- day may become a criminal occu- patton of today by reason of the progress of government to a higher standard of public moral ity and virtue. "
 If loss of revenue should accrue to the United States from a diminishing consumption of ardent spirits, she will be a gain CT a thousand-fold in health, wealth and happiness of the peo- pie. '"
 'The legislature, and not the individual, is the proper judge to determine whether society will be injuriously affected by the manufacture of particular articles of drink for the makers use.
 After the adoption of the four teenth amendment to the consti- tuition, the claim was set up that the amendment secured the right to sell intoxicating liquors. But the Supreme Court said that "so far as such a right exists, it is not one of the rights growing out of citizenship of the United States. "-The Crusader Monthly
