HOW MUCH FOR YOUR BABY.

Economists have their computa-
lions down to such a science now
that they can actually figure what
a baby is wOrth-that is, what it is
worth to the country and to society
and after finding out how many ba-
bies have died it is then an easy mat
ter to compute the nations loss.
Nearly 100000 worth of babies
lied in the United States last year,
according to these economists.
To a mother or father a baby is
worth all that the world contains,
but to the nation, to society, the baby
isn't worth quite so much in cold dol
lars. 1t is only recently that the
unique estimate Of the worth of
human life has been ventured. Most
people have said: 1T is not possible
to name the value of a human life
in money-money doesn't buy it, and
it's value can't be measured accord
ing to monetary standards" Well.
it can just the same, and it has been
that is, in so far as each life has
a bearing upon society and a part
Of the national, civic and business
dfe.
Prof. Irving Fisher, in his recent
report on national vitality, prepared
for the National Conservation Com
mission, gives a financial rating to
all human beings, young and old.
4 baby at birth is worth $40; that
is to the nation as potential posi-
Dility. BY the time the baby has
reached the age of five his net worth
is $3.50. and when he has reached the
age of 80 his value is $4,100. To
be sure, there are plenty of men who
are not worth that to themselves,
TO any one else, or to the nation; but
Prof. Fisher doubtless had normal
men in mind, or the average men.
After the age Of 80 mans value be-
gins to decline, and at SO it is ST.
900, while at 80 it is but $500.
These figures represent the CAPT
Calization of the earning power of
She individual In the case of the
baby the 500 represents the discount
ed value of his future earnings, TAX
ing into account the cost of the care
given him until he is old enough to
look out for himself. Of course a
baby isn't worth 500 to the nation
as it lies in its cradle trying to get
line on things. But it has a po-
tential value; that is, it has physi-
cal and mental attributes that will
be of value when it develops to ma
Eurity.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

The great public interest in the
causes of the present high cost of
living does not abate. Neither does
the public indignation against those
who seem to be responsible, at least
to degree.
The boycott against meat is spread
ing rather than lessening. The eff
feet has not been satisfactory as yet.
Consumption in many cities has been
cut down more than fifty per cent,
and prices here and there have been
reduced, but in the main the figures
are held at the high altitude, and in
instances really increased. What the
ultimate effect will be is problemati-
cal.
That congress will make an inves-
tigation is certain, but that the pub
Tic will gain any knowledge or relief
is doubtful. The investigation will
be in the hands of the ways and
means committee, and witnesses will
be examined under oath. The clamOr
for relief is country wide, and the
dominant party in congress realizes
that the people will not be satisfied
until at least an effort is made to
learn the cause of the greatly in
creased cost of living.

WHY LICK THE STAMP?

Do the people who jeer at the eau
tious ones who refuse to lick pos
tage stamp know that there is a de-
fined disease known as the postage
stamp tongue?"
This is an acute Inflammation of
the tongue, directly traced to the
germs to be found on the gummed
side of stamp or envelope. Other
and more serious diseases have been
caused by this habit that is so uni
versal and seems so harmless. One
throat specialist declares that many
chronic affections of the throat are
found among persons who have as
their livelihood the addressing and
stamping of envelopes. Bad skin
diseases have been known to follow
this habit, and it has even caused
pulmonary troubles.
1t is after all habit. and a bad
one. 1t takes no more time and it is
quite as easy to moisten the stamp
with damp sponge or rag.

corporation tax pending the decision

constitutionality. Extraordinary eff
forts have been made to get the
president to take some action in the
foregoing direction or to recommend
congress to do so, but thus far no
sign of a purpose to do anything of
the kind has cropped out. The fact
is the president could not suspend
