UNFIT BABY FOOD.

DR.. Evans, the Chicago health au-
thority, makes the published state
ment that COWS milk is not hit for
baby food unless it has been cooled
within thirty minutes of milking and
maintained cold until it comes to the
baby"
This statement represents the scien-
tifc estimate of milk value. which is
the valuation that must be accepted
if due consideration is to be given to
the health of infants. 1t is the line
of demarkation between safety and
danger, health and sickness. life and
death for the young child. Yet we
venture to say that not one quart in
fifty of all the milk used for baby
food receives the treatment necessary
to preserve it from germ infection.
Among all the articles OF food used
by human beings milk is regarded as
most susceptible TO germ infection.
and for that reason and for the man
ner in which it is obtained and the
circumstances surrounding its produc-
ton and delivery to the consumer is
most difficult to protect from con-
tamination.
Even where the dairy facilities are
perfect and the milk Is delivered to
the consumer in a healthy state it has
not escaped all the dangers that
menace it. The bottle of milk is
frequently seen standing on the door
/ step long after il has been delivered
| by the milkman. and it frequently
/ happens that after it is taken in
promptly there is no means of main
| tanning the preserving temperature
! the milkman has given il.
The iceman's customers compose a
! comparatively small part Of the pop
ulation. Some do not take ice through
! ignorance of it's comforts and benefits
| others through a false idea Of econ
omy and others because they haven't
| the means 10 pay for it. The sum
total of these constitute the majority
but they all use milk. In these con-
ditions lie the necessity for the edu-
cational campaign being conducted by
health authorities and the dispensing
work of charity societies.

THE CORE OF CORRUPTION.

When the lobby investigation is
completed there will be little left to
learn concerning inside politics as it
has been conducted in the past. With
wonderful insight or following a clue
given him by the initiated. Pres. VIII
son apparently has found the main
source of corruption as applied to
elections and the control of the labor
element.
Col. Mulhall's testimony seriously
duplicates the manufacturing interests
of the country as represented by the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers and in a forcible way the coloners
testimony is corroborated by his letter
files. In fact the cOloners letter files
furnish the body Of the evidence as
their contents are linked together IL
his own statements.
The y. a NJ. - presented in the
role Of legislative and labor agent for
the large proportion of the manufac-
turers Of the country who are mem
bers of il. There were two things the
association wanted, favorable legisla-
ton and industrial peace, and, &C
cording TO Mulhall il sought TO OBJ
tain these by bringing influence to
bear on congress and manipulating Ia
Dor leaders. Both were accomplished,
IL is alleged. by corruption. Money,
the colonel testifies, was lavishly spent
10 elect men TO congress friendly TO
the interests Of the association and
in having or in promising 10 nav labor
leaders for calling off strikes.
This is what is meant by invisible
government. the subtle and insidious
influence OF private interest operating

own use. The testimony OF Col. Null
hall being true IL is easy 10 see how

that country are capable of settling
their own difficulties and that when
these are settled and their government
firmly established it will be given the
recognition sought. The Huerta gov
eminent is but little, If any, better.
than a dictatorship. With a number
Of the states and many Of their most
prominent people in insurrection it
has no stability.
Pres. Wilson is not ready for these
reasons to accept the Huerta admin
istration as the established govern
ment of Mexico. II was founded in
conspiracy and assassination. 1t does
not possess the essential element Of q
stable government, the approval Of
a majority of the people. Huerta au-
thority was assumed rather than con-
ferred upon him. In any event Pres.
Wilson does not propose to be forced
into action against his better under
standing Of the relations between the
United States and Mexico and a bet
ter knowledge Of what is good for
Mexico than the European powers
possess, and a deeper interest in the
welfare Of the unhappy country.
The interests Of alien individuals
may suffer from delay, but it is more
important that the ultimate peace and
prosperity of Mexico be considered.

We'll, cash is tight, and 1 don't see

TO state that a slight advance in the

The poor old Banker, his lot is sad.

He remained until an hour after mid
night, and then decided that the muir

He walked back 10 the car. And, OH!
how bright and cheerful the dim little
car lights looked

about his experience and how the
murderer had failed TO show up.
Huh, didn't suppose he would, "

Getting the News
BY FIRED G. KELLY.

This one is cited simply to show
how a man may be lucky as well as
unlucky
Oswald f. Schuette, Washington
representative of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, used to be marine editor OF
one Of the Milwaukee papers.
Late one summer night word reach
ed Schuette's office that a freight YES
sci was wrecked not far from shore
few miles north Of town. None of
the vessel Offices had yet received any
definite word about IL, and il was too
late for any one TO be sent there be-
fore the paper went to press. Yet ii
was up TO poor Schuette TO do some
thing. The fact that there was no
way to get the story did not matter.
He must get il anyhow. For a few
seconds he stared into the cold, still
features of the telephone on his desk.
Then ii occurred TO him that the
wrecked vessel might not be far from
the summer home OF young SHERRY"
Becker, then the so-called boy mayor
OF Milwaukee.
Schuette called up Becker and he
was obliged TO ring several times be-
fore the boy mayor came TO the phone
for he had been tucked into bed for
the night.
No, said Becker, he hadn't heard
or any vessel being wrecked out that
way. But he would inquire and il he
heard anything OF it he would let
Schuette know.
So Schuette hung up the receiver
in disgust. Nevertheless Becker s
promise to inquire" half amused him.
Becked doubtless would yell 10 some
body in the next room. ask II they
had heard anything about wreck.
and then turn over and proceed 10
sleep again.
1t was indeed a hopeless situation
from Schuette's viewpoint
But bark Again the telephone
rang. An hour or more had elapsed
after Schuette's talk with Becker, and
now ii was Becker on the phone
again. And. 10, he had all the par
ticulars OF that wreck. Not a detail
had escaped him. Eagerly Schuette
jotted down the notes. BY hustling
he still had chance TO get the stun
into the paper. In his hurry he neg
lected TO ask Becker OF whom he in
quired" about the wreck. He didn't
get a chance TO ask about that until a
