DEATH PROSPECT
FOR LITTLE BABY
Child to Die in a Week Unless
Some One Comes to It's Res
cue in 48 Hours.

Who wants to save the life of an
eight-months' old baby?
The opportunity is presented to any
person or persons, charitable institu-
ton or to the county. Right here in
Rock Island is a little boy baby who
will be dead in a week, says its physi-
clan, unless someone comes TO its res
cue
The child is slowly starving to
death because Of an excess OF food
and because il is not receiving the
proper care. Within the next IS
hours it must be taken from its pres
ent quarters, given attention and the
right amount of food, or it will cease
to exist. There is nothing wrong
with the child except that it is not
getting the right kind of care and sci
cntjfc attention. II is in loving, but
inefficient hands-its grand parents
and they can be prevailed upon to re-
linquish it though they cannot quite
comprehend wherein they have failed
20 make the baby grow. They have
fed and fed and fed the poor little
wasted thing until it can no longer
keep anything on its stomach and the
result is it is dying from hamilton.
There is the usual sad story behind
the case. The child is of uncertain
parentage and its father is unknown
while its mother is residing at Can
ton. III. The grand parents are will
ing TO do all in their power for the
little one but they have not the
means. Bethany home refuses to take
children under one year Of age and nc
charitable institutions have yet beea
found that will assume charge of the
little one. Possibly this article vii
result in the county authorities TAX
ing charge and having the child cared
for at a hospital at the expense of the
people. Three alternatives face the
little one-care at the hands Of pri
vate persons, care at the hands of the
county. or death within week.
Any who are interested can ascer
tain more about the child from DR.
&. T. Foster.

PARCELS POST AS
HOUSEWIVES AID

New York, Dec. 27-Apples, fresh
eggs and country butter, direct from
the farm to the housewife by parcels
post, to reach half million homes in
New York and environs-this is the
newest plan, it was announced today,
of Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the
National Housewives league. She
says the plan will become operative
to some extent Jan. l.
Mrs. Heath's plan is to eliminate
the middleman involved in the crea-
ton of a registry committee. This
committee has begun preliminary
work of enlistins all farmers within a
50-mile zoae. Rolls will be opened to
all housekeepers. The league will
work in harmony with the state
grange. The plan will be EXTENDED to
include vegetables in season. Similar
registry bureaus will be opened next
Wednesday in the principal cities of
the country.

IAN Of the Christmas trees used
annually in this country could be
grown on a few thousand acres, an
area so small compared with our to-
tai forest area that it is not worth
consideration from the standpoint Of
timber supply Through our indiffer-
ence TO forest fires. We burn up an
nually a vastly greater number of
young trees than would supply the
Christmas tree market of the entire
country for a decade. II would be
more TO the point to concern ourselves
about forest protection from fire than
to undertake a blind crusade against
a custom which gives us as much en-
joyment as the Christmas tree cele-
bration"
Forester Graves also commented up
on the quarantine on Christmas trees
being maintained by the department
Of agriculture this year in parts of
New England where the browntailed
and gypsy moth is causing destruction
CT the forests. He said that his quar-.
antine would turn attention TO the pos
sibiities in growing Christmas trees
commercially for the market instead
of cutting them in the forests. AS il
is now, when a man goes into the
northern forests to cut the greens, by
the time he gets them to the railroad
he can sell them for little more than
his labor is worth
