Minister When Cornered by Savage

New York-The Rev John Daniel
McEwen, explorer and missionary,
who has just returned to civilization
after II years spent in the Brazilian
wilderness of he state of Bahia, has
uncovered new use for Moody and
Sankey hymns. Said Mr.. McEwen:
'Tis wonderful how those Moody

Would Blow Up Icebergs

81 have seen icebergs Of vast proper
tions fully three miles long-and
standing 100 feet out of the water.
These monsters are frequently to be
observed along our shores as late in
the year as the month of August, and
they are at present allowed to disap-
pear by the natural process-under
the suns rays. Their collapse is
sometimes very sudden. I remember
on one occasion observing large
berg through binoculars. It was ten
or fifteen miles away Having inspect
ed it leisurely, handed the glasses to
a friend at my elbow. He, looking to-
ward the berg, cried, I can't see it,
took the glasses and looked again,
and was startled to find that the great
ice-block had disappeared. 1t had,
suppose, been honeycombed by the
suns rays and had suddenly collapsed.

Newfoundland Man Suggests Way Of
Keeping Steamer Lanes Safe
From Monsters.

London-Among the mass OF sug-
gestions that have been made in con-
sequence of the loss of the Titanic,
one of the most curious comes from
resident in st. Johns, Newfound-
land. James e. Grant, who has had
extensive acquaintance with icebergs
along the coast of his own country.
In an interview he said:
II would suggest that an iceberg
destroying service should be estab-
lished without delay, under the con-
troll of an international board. My
proposal is not that you should wait
for the icebergs until they make their
appearance in navigable waters, but
that you should attack them at their
source, just as they break away and
drift into the gulf stream, and that
you should blow them to pieces with
powerful explosives. Icebergs are
formed by the overflow of fresh water
from the high banks on the coast OF
Greenland. The water freezes, the
ice is added to the snow, and the
spray Of the sea, and the bergs becom-
ing detached sail down into the gulf
stream, and up to the present have
been allowed to come into the North
Atlantic, where they are an obvious
danger to all vessels plying there.
'Lloyds and other insurance or
CARNATIONS would, am sure, welcome
the formation of a service such as
indicate, and would be likely to sup
port 1t financially. Besides, If such a
thing were in full swing, an appre-
cable reduction might be claimed in
insurance rates on some routes.

WHY BABIES DIE
Woman Charges Kindness Kills
Many Of Them.
Mrs. L. S. 3. Robinson in Address De-
ciares Infants Would Thrive on
Care Given to High Breed
of Puppies.

st. Paul.-'If we thought half as
much Of our babies as the breeders or
thoroughbred puppies do of their
animals we would not tolerate the
shaking, fondling and cuddling with
which we seek to quiet and amuse
them" said Mrs. L. S. B. Robinson or
the Baby Welfare association, at
meeting of the Bethel Womans CLUB.
mo man who has high grade pup
pies will allow any one to fondle or
fuss with them. The father who losses
his baby up to the ceiling and makes
him laugh until he gets fairly hyster-
zeal is responsible for much OF the
chronic nervousness which develops
az the child grows up.
1T is a crime to bounce and loss
a baby until the food in it's stomach
is so shaken up it cannot be dlgested.
The tendency to shake our paDies
is due to American nervousness. Inc
babies cry and we do not know what
to do for them. It is far better to
put them on the bed and let them
cry. If they are comfortable and are
not hungry, it will do them no harm,
whatever, and it will be better for
them. Babies are very easily trained.
1T is often a sacrilegious statement
to say when a baby dies that God
took it, it died through the fault OF
the mother, who will not do what she
should for the baby. More babies are
killed by kindness than anything else.
The mother does everything the neigh
bors, friends and relatives tell her.
America has the highest infant NOR
tally rate of all the better governed
countries. One bab.- in every five
dies before it reaches the age Of one
year. Food is the most important
thing to the young baby, and 1t
should not be fed too much or too
often. We need a city ice company
which would furnish the poor fam
lilies with a few cents worth of ice
each day, for ice is an absolute neces-
sity. Milk which has been exposed to
the warm air becomes poisonous.
Then flies are the cause of much
sickness to babies and to adults. If
the fly does not fall into the milk
and drown, to be fished out, it crawls
along the edge of the pitcher. and then
the milk is poured out over the germs
it leaves. If we cannot afford screens
We can at least afford netting, and
this will keep out the flies. Better go
without a new hat and let the chill.

MAJ. RHOADES SUCCEEDS BUTT

Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads, who has sue

branch of the army service. He Is

Until recently Major Rhoads served

His duties there naturally kept him
from miDgling much in the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
of his acquaintances. But that restric-
