HOW THE BABY DIES
BY DIR. JOHN S. FULTON.
Secretary General of the Interna-
tional Congress on Hygiene and
Demography.

A total of 136,432 babies I'M
der the age of one year died in
1908 in the registration area re-
ported upon by the United States
census bureau.
The causes of earliest death are
prematurity, malformation, in
juries sustained at birth and sy-
phi!is. These agents destroyed
47,271 infants. Living births in
such cases are deplorable and
speedy deaths are not to be re-
GREETED. These 47,271 deaths are
separated from the others under
the title of the '',unfit.
Next in order of deadliness TO
the new born comes commissions,
charged with 5,295 deaths under
one year. The term "convulsi'ons"
signifies want of knowledge of the
true cause of death. Combining
commissions with other ill-defined
and unknown causes, another
group is separated, under the IT,
tie unexplained" These number
ed in 1908 in the registration area
12,25S.
After these are left 76,9O3

The shadows rest painfully upon
the former wife of Howard Gould,
after all her spotlight and calcium.
She rushed into Lynchburg, Va,
the other day from her country
home, Blue Gap Farm, hystericaf
over three alleged attempts to
poison her. Physicians found no
evidence of poison. Mrs. Gould
has been rather quiet since the
sensational divorce in which
charges and counter charges flew
thick and fast. She was awarded
q paltry $4,000 a year alimony,
and with tears in her eyes said
she couldn't possibly live on it.
The divorce cost, for both sides, a
total of over 100000, including
detectives bills of $4,000, fees
of $350.000 for lawyers, and $751;
600 for witness fees and extra pay.

The signal rebuke which Former
President Roosevelt received all over
the country yesterday, the most posi-
tive expression against republican can
didates being shown where he center
ed his greatest energies, and appeared
in personal appeal, does not mean
that the American people have thrown
him overheard or forgotten him. 1t
indicates, rather, that the American
people having bestowed upon Colonel
Roosevelt all that was within their
power, having trusted and respected
him as few men have been trusted and
respected before, are not willing that
he should repay that bestowal OF the
best that mankind offers by assuming
the role as dictator. In word, the
American people have said, 'you are
all right, Teddy, but we were capable
of doing our own thinking before you
were born and are capable still"

do its duty as a part of every move
ment for the moral betterment of the
city. 1t remains in that same posi-
ton.
Now that Mr. Bruner has been elect
ed, The Argus does not hesitate to say
that nothing would please it more than
to have him demonstrate that he has
been misjudged and none will be
quicker than The Argus to recognize
that fact If the occasion arises. That
he has an opportunity such as does not
fall to every man is generally admit
ted. The Argus hopes he will make
good. It hopes he will prove that his
office will be dominated only by those
influences that speak for the highest
moral betterment and the proper re-
spect for the law.
The wish of The Argus is that Sher-
iff Bruner may make a creditable rec
ord and if he does this he will have
no stronger supporter than The Ar
gus, for 1t is a much easier and much
more pleasant task for any newspaper
| to commend than to criticise.

How To Treat the Feet

Many men and women. and espe-
cially clerks. suffer with aching.
swollen and sweaty feet. Others suf-
fer much from cold feet, or corns
and callouses. This form of misery
can be readily banished by the
simple daily use of antiseptic vilane
powder, a specific of extraordinary
virtues.
Obtain two ounces of vilane' pow
der from any leading druggist and
to a gallon of steaming water add
teaspoonful. Immerse the feet
in this every night for a few weeks,
ten to twenty minutes, and 1t will
soothe, heal and remove all poisons
and soreness. Corns and calIouses
disappear and cold feet soon become
unknown. Any one suffering with
their feet should have this know
ledge.

Where the Buffalo May Still Be

would not gladly give a year of his
life to roll backward the scroll of
time for decades, and live that year
in the romantic by-gOne days of the
wild west; to see the great Missouri
while the buffalo pastured on it's
banks, while big game teemed in
sight and the red man roamed and
hunted, unchecked by fence or mint
of white mans rule; or, when that
rule was representa- only by scat
tered trading posts hundreds of miles
apart, and at the best the traders
could exchange the news by horse
or canoe, and months of lonely
travel?

o. L. Bruner, the New Sheriff.

After a hard fight, in which he was
seriously handicapped, o. L. Bruner
has won out for sheriff of Rock Island
county. That he has been successful
must be attributed in a very large de-
gree to the sheer force Of personal en-
ergy on his part. Notwithstanding
that the campaign of public discus
sion. so to speak, was short, Mr..
Bruner has been campaigning for
years for the goal he has now reached.
1t was this advantage that stood him
well in the face of great odds in the
closing days. Briefly said, Os Bruner
has won the victory.
AS to The Argus attitude in the
campaign as it pertained particularly
to the office of sheriff. it is not neces-
sary to speak extensively now. 1t took
conscientious stand for a principle,
and for that it stuck until the last mo-
ment before the balloting commenced.
It bore Mr.. Bruner no i'll will, as was
repeatedly stated. It's position was
not personal, nor yet altogether polit-
ical. Having already declared it's
place in the face of conditions that
existed, it remained steadfast and con-
sistent. Just as cheerfully as 1t &C
cepted an obligation to the people
when a crisis arose in the moral well
fare of the community, it accepts the
verdict of the people on what was an
that had developed. The Argus has

The Landslide and the Cause.

The statements from men prominent
on both sides of the controversy sent
out last night to The Argus by the AS
ISOLATED Press, in summing up
the landslide which swept almost
every great state where national
or state issues were involved,
and the causes of the same, afford as
clear an explanation as could be of
fered. Chairman Lloyd OF the demo
cratic national congressional commit
tee pronounced the victory "a rebuke
to the republicans for their failure to
reduce the tariff" and said the high
cost Of living had much to do with the
result of the election.
Stimson, the defeated republican
candidate for governor of New York.
in an interview attributed his defeat
to causes of nationwide and general
movement of the republican party to-
ward progressive 'isms. I'VE are be-
ginning to have a realignment of polit-
ical parties" he said, and the republi-
can party is going through the agony
Of becoming progressive"
The republican party, on the con-
trary, seems to be going through the
agony of having failed to become pro
gressive before it was too late. The
people from one end of the land to the
other have become weary Of false
promises and false pretenses. They
have arisen In their might to rebuke
the party that has repeatedly prom
ised and repeatedly betrayed. They
are tired of Cannonism and the domin-
alton by the interests as represented
IN the Payne-Aldrich bill, which as a
measure of relief to the American peo-
pie, was an insult to long suffering
people rather than a panacea for their
ills and Affections. They are sick Of the
Taft administration; they are sick of
Roosevelt. They are weary of the po-
lit:caI confidence game and they re-
sent the dictator. Having thought it
out for themselves. they have struck.
They will submit to no more make
shifts on the one hand than they will
to make-believes on the other.
Briefly summed up the people have
been heard from good and strong.

MIR. Tavenner and His Candidacy for
Congress.

congress.
Clyde H. Tavenner, the young news
paper correspondent who made the
race for congress in this district
against Congressman Mckinney,
comes out of the ARRAY as one who
has lost and won. He has cut McKin.
ney's plurality in the district of two
years ago in two. He made a gallant,
impersonal and dignified campaign.
Into the contest he put the same en-
ergy that has always characterized his
work as a newsgatherer and cores
pondent at the national capital.
He has won even in the face OF pol
itical defeat, in that he has had new
personal experience and has widened
the scope of his personal acquaintance
as well as attracted attention where
he was not known before. He has
demonstrated conclusively his famil
iarity with the questions Of vital con-
Germ to the American people, the very
questions which swayed to overwhelm'
ing proportions the vote in some OF
the greatest states of the union yes
terday In Rock Island county, which
is his home, and where he was able to
get into close touch with the people, he
made showing that is altogether com
plimentary.
That the results in this particular
neck of the woods were not of the
same significant nature that they were
elsewhere in the country is due to the
fact that the wave of popular disap-
provaI of things as they are, seems in
its westward leap to have spent its
fury at Chicago.
And hence the Fourteenth district
escaped the wrath OF the storm.
