THE LITTLE RED CRADLE.

Written for The Washington Herald.)
The little red cradle, covered with dust. :
All the brass hinges tarnished with rust
1 start it to rocking, midst laughter and
tears,
An empty thing out Of the random years
Rock bye baby. Why do you smile?
Can't We go back just for while
To the glad hours that never would stay
After our babies all went away?
Rock-a-bye baby! Why do you weep:
Let's play in the cradle our babes still
sleep
Your babies and mine. pretty and sweet
With such little hands and tiny pink feet
The babies We loved, the children we
knew.
The little ones God gave to me and to
you.
Little red cradle. don't make me cry,
Babies can't wait while years roll by.
Dear little baby with merry blue eyes.
Bigger than mother now. and far more
wise
The little red cradle rock and whirl,
Just playing it holds my baby girl.
And the little boy blue with the tousled
hair,
In brlSnter World-God wanted MIN
there
In the little red cradle Come, take a
peep:
Here lies a little boy fast, fast asleep.
little boy blue" with white. white
wings.
Who wanted 'muvvie" to tell him
''fings.'
1 rock the cradle, half-glad. half-sad
He is so safe. my little lad.
Rock-a-bye baby we must not cry.
But think Of the glory Of days gone by;
The ghosts Of the babies round us throng
As We rock and sing lullaby song.
For it's phantom cradle I rock tonight,
Just as any lonesome mother might,
And still can see a baby head
On the pillow here in the cradle bed
The cradle rocks twixt a song and moan,
Changing neither its tune or tone:
1t falls like peace on a fevered brain
And takes from a saddened heart its
pain.
So here tonight in this lonesome place
A babe looks up in its mothers face
And ! rock and sing, soft and low,
As did to my babies long ago.
Little red cradle. we've had our glories.
storiesE
We've had life's full. and oh, God
smile!
For we mothered babies little while
Babies are things too lovely to last,
But strong to waken the pulse Of the
past.
I wonder why they grow up and go
When mothers need them and want
them so.
So little red cradle. kneel in prayer,
And my babies know I am kneeling there
Close to you: while I rock and sing
am sure, my babies are listening
Some day. some time In Paradise
The babies will watch with eager eyes.
God will tell US to rock them (this
know
In the little red cradle Of long ago.

CREAM, MILK

Many epidemics of typhoid have been traced
to nW milk. (kober)
In the typhoid epidemic Of Cassel in 1909

who drank raw milk contracted the disease.
(Heinemann.D
In hospitals where a change was made from
raw to properly msteurized milk typhoid con-
ditions Immediately improved and the NOR
tality rate decreased. (EdsalL)
Typhoid is less frequent in countries where
little nav milk is used. (Berliner)
1t has been found that among patrons Of
dairies supplying properly pasteurized milk
and cream there occur but very few cases Of
typhoid. (RoseEau.)
Disease germs rise with OF cling to the
cream, which contains at least twelve times
as many bacteria per volume as the whole
milk from which it was separated. tSchroe-

SUNDAY LABOR LAW

on other days are, from civil stand
point, legitimate on Sunday"

the general conference committee OF
Seventh Day Adventists, which has been
In session at Takoma Park for ten
days, and closed last night, went on
record as opposing anything even re-

The resolutions declare that "all leg
fslation of this kind constitutes a de
cision of a religious controversy as to
the proper day to be selected for rest
and worship. which, at this time, is q
mooted question. Such laws, IL en-
forced. lead to religious persecution. as
mas been clearly demonstrated in the
recent history of various States, In
which more than 100 citizens who were
Seventh Day Adventists have been fined

chain gang, through the administration
