SCALES ON BABY'S HEAD

$40 East Washington ST., Portland,
Ore.-"When my brother was one
month old layer of scales or scabs
began to form on the top of his head.
The trouble began as a rash. The
scales increased until several layers
thick. The crust was thick and yellow
and looked to be all in one piece, but
came on in large scales. His hair
came out in punches and baby became
almost bald. His scalp itched and
burned so badly as to make him cross
and fretful.
I'VE used every remedy recommend
ed by our friends without success.
Then We started with the sample of
CEticura Soap and Ointment, wash
ing his head good with the Cuticura
Soap and then applying the Cuticura
Ointment. Before they were used up
We could see an improvement in his
condition and bought some more. The
scales loosened and came of easily.
In about two months after we started
to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment
the scales had entirely disappeared
and his hair started to come in thick.

MILK CRUSADE SAVES BABES
Stations for Distributing Infant Food
Are Constantly Increasing in
Various Cities.

A constantly increasing number OF
cities Of all sizes are establishing milk
stations and dispensing milk, whether
pure whole milk, certified, modified,
pasteurized or steriIized milk TO
mothers of babies that must be bottle
fed. Some of the cities in which such
institutions are maintained are: Al
bany. Baltimore. Boston, Buffalo, Chi.
cago, Dayton, Detroit, Hartford, Homo
lulu, indianapolis, Kansas City, Mo-,
Lawrence. Mass, Louisville, Lowell,
Milwaukee, Newark, New Bedford.
New Haven. New York, Peoria, Pitts
burgh, Providence, Rochester. St.
Louis, Springfield, O., Waterbury,
Wilkesbarre. Worcester, Yonkers.
Utica
The milk station is simply a room
sufficiently large to accommodate the
patrons and equipped with large ice
box, desk, some chairs and table.
Az ordinary store is suitable for a
station and sometimes. as in the case
Of the station at Utica, N. Y, a school
room may be used for the purpose.
The station is usually under the
charge of nurse, and a physician is
in attendance at stated hours.

INFANT MORTALITY is LOWER
Efforts of Health Officials During Last
Five Years Have Brought Down
Death List in Cities.

What the American cities are do
ing and can do toward preventing in
faint mortality and the high death
rate OF children under FIVE years Of
age is the subject of bulitin issued
by the ckildren's bureau of the de-
partment of labor 1t is the purpose
of the bureau to issue similar bull
letin annually and in time to make
it complete manual for municipal
and philanthropic activities in the d.
rection of child welfare Summer
campaigns for babies lives have been
waged with such maryelously good
effect in some cities, that it seems TO
the bureau important 10 enlist the
energies of as many cities in this
worS as possible. To this end it will
be helpful to collect and present for
the information of ALL the little or
much that is being done by the yari-
Gus cities.
The efforts OF city health officials
have resulted in the last ten years
in reducing the general death rate
in cities. below that of the rural dis.
tricts and villages. This reduction in
the general death rate is an encourag
ing indication of what is possible OF
accomplishment in efforts TO reduce
the infant death rate. Babies die Of
diseases which to a large extent are
/ preventable, and thus when welfare
work is directed toward saving their
lives the response is immediate and

solid national compact; the union
of effort TO free these states and de-
fend them; the union of hearts loyal
and true; and this idea of national
union emblazoned on our banner is
expressed in the field Of blue on which
shine the stars of the several states.
To destroy this union would be TO re-
verse the progress of our history and
make void the struggle and sacrifice
of our fathers
In the second place, it is the banner
of liberty. These states were united
in the cause of freedom. The struggle
of their common enemy forced them
to unite their efforts in the struggle
for common liberty. The recognized
liberty as one of the inalienable rights
to be bestowed by the creator aud in
the cause of their liberty and the
liberty of their children they have
pledged their lives, their liberties and
their sacred honor. Yes, it is the flag
of the free.
In the third place. it is also the
banner of bravery. Never in the his
tory of the world did more heroic men
place themselves upon the altar of
patriotism because they feared God
and recognized the justice of their
principles, they we're willing to sacri-
fee life itself. As we look upon the
banner today and remember that it
was made expressive of brave and
patriotic men, it recalls the heroic
struggles of the Revolution. The red
signifies it is the banner of the brave.
In the last place, it is the banner
of peaceful possession. Wherever it
floats. our flag is the symbol Of
sovereign rule. 1t stands for nation
al ownership-not of any party, large
or small, but the ownership of all the
people; and as such it is the pledge
OF peace, and back Of the flag stand
the people and back of the people is
God. whose truth is displayed in its
signs and symbols.

FOUNDED BY RELIGIOUS MEN
Our Nation Owes Its Origin to Those
Who Stood in Fear of
the Lord.

No student of the philosophy of his
tory will for moment deny that the
discovery and colonization of North
America was directed by the guiding
hand of Providence, neither will any
one dispute that the Declaration of In
dependence and the formation OF our
government were the actions of men
who stood in conscious fear of the
Lord. Each of the original Is colonies
was established on distinctive and
dominant religious principles. Eacn
of them sought to know the will OF
God. and to do it. In all their dis
cussion of the problems OF freedom
and in their reasons for independence
our fathers made their appeal to God
and his truth was written In their
hearts. They looked TO him as their
leader and defender. When liberty
came they recognized God as its au-
thor-giyer. so that the emblem OF our
freedom was a God-giyen banner to
those who feared him and did all in
their power to make his viii supreme
in the earth.
