WHITE A PERIL TO CHILDREN

A statement which will be read with
interest by every parent 10 made by 2
well known London doctor, who has
come out with the assertion that use
of the color white is so bad for young
children that its almost universal
employment on and around them is
nothing short of,cruelty. Much Of the
irritableness and peevishness OBJ babies
and children may, he said, be put down
to their constant association with
white.
Danish white from your nurseriesi
See that everything about the child
rem is colored, either green, blue or
yellow-their clothes, cots toys, MUIR
sery wall papers and even the ceilings.
Many nurseries are decorated like
this: A snow white cot, white for pa
per (relieved by fairy tale frieze)
and white ceilings.
The babies, of course. wear. white
clothes, and when they 60 out there Is
white perambulator with glaring
white hood, at which the baby lies and
stares.
It is sheer cruelty. II is just like
placing anybody in the Alps, when he
cannot escape from the monotonous
dazzling fields of snow. Apart from
the discomfort, white is entirely hurt
full to the delicate retina of the eyes,
and may permanently disarrange the
sight.
Make the nursery bright and cheer
full with soft colors. My own nursery
10 tempered q soft green, and my two
children rarely wear any white clothes.
ToyA cots, baby, carriages-every-
thing should be colored-never by the
way. bright red, which is even worse
and more irritating than white.

THE ZIG CROPS

The assurance Of great harvests and
the fact that corn, oats. and spring
wheat will be the biggest ON record.
will save our country from = great
many man-made follies.
y Hard times will come and 20, be-
cause politicians and congresses wilt
do foolish things, and spectators will
build up . cloud castles on inverted
pyramids. r
But there are some low levels of
past experience that ought never to
be reached again. Even under the
blacklist conditions, the farmers will
have fewer mortgage than formerly
and more regular stream of money
will flow out Of the farming districts
to buy manufactured goods. s.
The intimate relation between the
corn crop and the cost Of meat ought
to interposeS some check to the ad-
vance Of prices, thank goodness. If
the western. farmer does not raise
some hogs this winter, he either has
forgotten his way to the corp crib, or
has lost hts interest in buying Z 1913
automobile. q
The politicians will claim the victory
Of this prosperity. But they have had
little to do with il. The toll of count
less industrious men, fred with the
American ambition. has created these
harvests, while the politicians have
bsen cooking their little deals in the
cloak rooms.

Mr.. TAFT AND MEXICO

The state department of the United
States c0nfrontS an unusually perilous
situation on our southern border.
When the history Of this presidential
term shall be written, the American
attitude toward these complications
will take larger place than the petty
squabbles that fill the newspaper head
lines. M
Here was ! problem that had been
non-existent for 80 years or more. To
the south lies a fiery people, Of .
tropical impulsiveneas, veritable FIRE
trap ready for the torch.
BY almost miracle of good for
tune, the finder and the torch were
kept apart for q generation by the
political genius Of one man, Por6rio
Diaz. Under the forms Of 4 republic,
by his genius for craftsmanship he
held down discordant elements, check
ed rival ambitions, repressed the law
less, SO that the United States had no
more trouble with its. southern neigh
bors tihar with its northern.
i Age finally palSied the hand Of this
great ruler. His removal reduced
Mexico to the normal anarchy of q
Central American republic, feverish
state of social unrest and revolution
airy turbulence.
The fact that these two countries
share common. boundary for 1900
miles makes the Mexican question
very. critical. Americans Of i hawkes.
type are forever getting embroiled in
the troubles of our ncighbors across
the way. Americans who have in
vested down there demand protection
from lawless attacks. Revolutionar-
les are always seeking to escape PUP
suit by fleeing across our border, com
tending forces persist in firing NUM-
tons of war within reach Of our own
towns IN
Here is ticklish situation of the
most explosive kind, apparently about
to continue for many years.
With marvellous diplomatic skill,
President Taft has protected our In
terests A 20 far as they could be pso-
tected, he hxs maintained strict neu-
rality, and kept our country from be-
coming embroiled in = costly and use.
WHIT would. have, happened had
Roosevelt the 6rebrand been presi-
dentl
The chances are strong that many
ct our brave soldiers wives would now
be widowed, that a new national debt
would have been created and new
extension of the pension list would
have ben established for another 50
years eb s ss4 pss. 4sv
x A man Of cool and calm balance and
poise, Of > settled habit of delibera-
tion IL needed to handle this most
tangled Of diplomatic situations.
q With President Taft the country can
be sure that there will be no need
less Intervention. Otherwise there
can be no security as to what might
happen.

Brown Bread Baker.

Mayor Gaynor was talking about ad.
vertisement writing.
81 like the literary style of the av.
erage advertisement" he said. Even
when advertisements exaggerate, they
are written in good style.
"The best advertisements don't ex-
aggerate; but there are some few ad-
vertisement writer's who seem to think
that, in their line Of work. little ex-
agyeration does no harm.
"They remind me, in their mistaken
views, of a miner. The miner was
passing a bakery with a friend, and
in front of the bakery stood very
untidy baker.
"'Gee,' said the miners friend. point
ing his pipe at the filthy baker dis
gustedly-'gee' what a dirty-looking
chap to be baker, eh?'
But the miner explained with a
smile:
"'Oh, that's all right. He's Just the
fellow, you know, who bakes the
brown bread"

Justice HarIan's Golf.

Here is new golf story about
Justice Harlan, says Tid-Bits. He was
playing one day with a friend who
was noted for making long drives.
This man found COW in his path,
but. not daunted by the obstacle,
drove his ball with great force in the
direction he wanted it to go. The ball
landed in the cows mouth. Straight
way the judges friend chased the
cow. The startled animal turned tail
and ran. still carrying the ball. Her
pursuer began belaboring her with his
club as the pair went racing over the
links. Finally the COW, on reaching a
putting green, dropped the ball. 1t
landed in a good position and the
golfer holed out in one stroke. Justice
Harlan followed in leisurely fashion
and made it in eight strokes, claim
ing the hole.
But made it in two," exclaimed
his friend.
1.-TWO nothing" said the Judge, you
mean thirty-two! l was watching you
and every time you hit the COW counts
a stroke"

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Besides its soap-tree, the West In
dies has it's toothbrush plant in the
GOuamia dOmingensis of San Domingo.
One end of piece of the dried stem
Is rubbed across the teeth, soon be-
coming frayed and serving like the
bristles of a brush and the saponin
of the wood cleanses the teeth as that
Of the soap tree cleanses linen. The
material is also crushed into the form

To popularize lighting and heating
by electricity, various plans are being
tried by European electric stations. In
Bremen a limited current is offered to
small users, making it practicable for
workingman's family to use specified
number of lamps-say, three of To-
candlepower-andn no more, the cost
to be about the same as that for oil
lighting. The house may be wired for
any number of lamps, the current
limiter preventing the use of more
than the contract number at one time.
In Vienna. the municipal plant is seek
ing to encourage electric baking, and
provides free ovens for local bakeries,
guaranteeing that the electric current
shall not cost more than sources OF
beat. hitherto employed. Great results
Ore expected. Among the advantages
claimed are saving of time, greater
greater ease of manage
ment and regulation. and the banish-
ment of chimneys and flues. 1t is
furthermore stated that smaller ovens
will do the same baking. as loaves can
be packed closer.
A novel method of bringing nascent
iodine into contact with the tissues OF
the body. for the treatment of lupus
or skin tuberculosis, has been reported
by DR.. Axel Reyn, a German. The pa
tient Is first given a large dose of So
dium iodide, and in about en- hour the
negative pole of an electric battery is
placed in his hand. one or several fine
platinum-iridium needles, forming the
positive pole. being at the same time
passed into his ear. The current of
three or four milliamperes is applied
for three minutes. or the five cases
treated, two were completely and
quickly cured. and the others showed
marked benefit. while no harmful ef-
fects on the tissues were detected.

Why He Couldn't sit Down.

Harry. aged six. is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care OF him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently. and 1t was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers.
and there was suspicious fullness In
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry. sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry. you must sit down" "
Grandma, l can't. My pants is chok-
Ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted. and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder Of the service.

of an old English farmer who was

plishes this by requiring the deposit
Of a coin in the bank before the clock
can be wound. Unless the coin is de-
posted the clock becomes useless.
The amount OF the coin deposited is
controlled by the size OF the slot in
the savings bank. The number OF de-
posits can also be increased by re-
quiring daily winding of the clock.
In this way certain sum must be
added to the bank each day previous
to each winding OF the clock. After
the clock has been wound and the
key removed. the mechanism assumes
its normal position so that the clock
cannot be wound again without the
deposit OF coin.
