ONE BABY IN EVERY FIVE DIES
The Toll American People Pay Cited by Those Who Believe in
 Eugenics.

The advocates of eugenics re-en force their plea by showing the price the American people pay, in mere dollars and cents, for the privilege of indiscriminate mating. We spend more than 100 million dollars a year for the support of about half million insane. feeble-minded, blind and deaf persons, eighty thousand prisoners and one hundred thousand paupers. We pass rigid laws to shut out de- fectives and criminals when they try to enter our country as immigrants from other countries, but let them in by the hundred every year through the gateway of the cradle.
 Or again. when the boll-weevil is discovered in the south we turn all the government scientists loose upon it. and authorize them to spend heaps of the taxpayers money in the hope of defending our national cotton crop against it's raVages; yet our national baby crop, which amounts to about two and one-half million little souls every year, we leave to take care of itself! And. as the first fruits oi this monstrous policy, one baby ir every five dies before it is twelve months old.
 A forward step was taken last spring in Chicago, when it was an nOunced that henceforth no marriage would be solemniZed in the Cathedra of Saints Peter and Paul unless bOtl ' contracting parties produce certifi

MATCHES ARE NO BY-PRODUCTS
Only Choicest Woods are Used. Three Million Are Lighted Every Minute

It has been estimated that for each minute of time the civilized nations of the world strike 3 million matches. This is said to be the average for every minute of the tWenty-four hours of the day. Fifteen hundred fbillion is the number for the entire year. Small and insignificant as it lis. the match demands as much at ttention in the choice of woods in volved as any other forest product. ! Only the choicest portions of the best trees are suitable. SapWood and
 knotty or cross grained wood will not
 do Instead of being a by-product fthe little match is turned out in mills
 where the by-products are bulky ob-
 iects like doors, sash, shingles, sid
 ings and posts The pines, linden,
 aspen, white cedar, poplar, birch and willow are the most suitable match

Susan was the owner of a comfortable place and was thrifty, while John hadn't and wasn't either which might have had some thing, to do with it, but anybody could see that John was paying a good deal more than it would have brought at public cendue. Some said it was more Susan's doing than Johns, because she never could keep a hired man more than a month, and she was bound to have help of some kind.

effort in the nominating committee
and because of the united campaign
carried on by our delegates, they are
successful. In several states there
was division of sentiment in regard
to candidates. In Indiana all was har-
mony and good will, a fortunate sit
uation, of course. The office of di-
rector is one of great responsibility
and hard work. The eight directors.
together with the seven general offi-
GERS, determine the policy of the ad-
ministration. 1t may be interesting to
note that of these fifteen women the
North Carolina, Texas and Louisiana;
the East two, from the District OF
Columbia and Pennsylvania; the mid
die West four, from Michigan, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, and the farther
West five, from Washington, Nevada,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and North Da-
kota All admit that the East should
have better representation, consider
ing the great number of clubs in that
part of the country.
The director from Indiana appre-
ciates the honor conferred upon her.
and her state, and hereby renews the
pledge given on the closing night of
the great biennial to do her utmost to
make Mrs. Pennybacker's administra-
ton the very best that the federation
has yet had. She expects the continu-
ed cooperation and sympathy of the
club women of Indiana, who have so
loyaIIv cucfaipod bar in the mast and
while she must necessarily extend her
labors and interests over broader
field, she is so constituted that no
other section can ever look quite so
attractive as our own state.

That now you stop at on your

Suppose that every word you say

Check many an angry, bitter
word?
Suppose that those who follow you
Could read your speeches when

Would you speak the way you do?
Would you not leave some things
unsaid?
Suppose that everything you do
Stood out for everyone to see
And those whom most you love

Each little deed, would you not

More careful as you go your way
Would you not many folly
shun?
Would you not, toiling through the
