CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BABIES
Before All Things, the Need Of Pure
MIlks Comes First, According
to All Authorities.

II is estimated that baby nursed
by its mother has approximately ten
times the chances to live that a bottle
fed baby has. All welfare workers,
therefore, are advised to encourage
mothers to make every effort to carry
out this most important maternal
duty.
A clean milk supply is fundamen-
tai need. The ideal is: Nothing short
Of clean milk for everybody. But the
need for the prompt remedy of bad
milk conditions is more urgent in its
relation to the welfare of babies than
to that of adults, since dirty milk Is
largely responsible for the occurrence
of diarrhoea and enteritis, the most fire.
quent causes of death among infants.
The remedy lies in the intelligent and
effective inspection of farms, the
shops where milk is sold, and In ordi-
nances governing the sale of dipped
or loose" milk.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each

Donald was an old Scotch beadle

earnestness that fell freezing upon

years"
And he took his hat and went out

Gettysburg, Pa, July 5.-The army
of veterans began to dissolve yester-
day and only the presence of President
Wilson kept thousands in camp. Be
fore noon close to $4,000 of the men
who were here Thursday had departed
for their homes. The grand rush will
begin today and the railroads of
Gettysburg will have their hands full.
Special trains will have to be run out
at short intervals to take care of men
who wish to hurry away.
The president spoke to a crowd esti-
mated at 10000. Thousands of vet
Grams were in their uniforms of gray
or blue, but many in the crowd were
Pennsylvanians from Gettysburg and
nearby towns. The presidents speech
was short and he was frequently inter
rupted by cheers.
The train bearing President Wilson
arrived at the station in the town Of
Gettysburg at 1902 o'clock The presi-
dent was escorted to an automobile
and accompanied by Governor Tener,
passed through the town to the EN-.
metsburg road and proceeded over
that thoroughfare to the camp.
From gettysburg the president went
directly to Cornish, N. H., to spend
few days with his family. He plans
to return to the White House Tuesday.
Secretary Tumulty, DR.. Cary T.
Grayson, Mr. Wilson's physician; Lieu
tenant Rockwell, his military aide,
and Representative A. Mitchell Palmer
of Pennsylvania, accompanied the
president.

Gettysburg, July 5.-The regular
army paid tribute yesterday to the
thousands who sleep under the hills Of
Gettysburg. Somewhere down in the
heart of the tented city bugle sang
out silver-sweet call that wandered
over the field where Lee and Meade
made history. The big flag before the
headquarters of General Liggett flash
ing in sudden curves of red and white
and blue, glorious in the sunshine of
perfect July day, came slowly half way
down the shaft. In front of the tent,
shoulders squared, figure trim in sum-
mer uniform of white, face toward the
flag, the general clicked heels to-
gether and stood at attention.
Somewhere the guns of the third bat
terry burst into staccato salute. Every
officer over the length and breadth of
that wide field, every enlisted man
turned away from the duties of the
moment and faced the flag, heels to-
gether, heads up and eyes alight with
the sentiment of the hour.
AS the last gun of 'forty-eisht sent
the echoes Gathering about Seminary
Ridge and Round Top, there was
solemn silence, the hush of peace. Old
veterans who did not realize, perhaps,
exactly what was going on, stood
silent under the spell of the universal
feeling that seemed to sweep the field.
Even the clatter of pots and pans in
the mess tents was hushed and the
yells of cooks about to serve the mid
day meal lowered to whispers.
For five minutes the camp was quiet.
Then the bugles spoke again in notes
more sonorous. The silken flag leaped
up the flag staff to its very pinnacle
and the noise that 10000 men can
make, resumed its sway, the regular
army's tribute to the dead and to the
flag Of a reunited nation.
That five minutes silence was prob
ably the last formal mark of the semi
centennial celebration. Only a few min
utes before President Wilson spoke in
the big tent to the veterans in blue
and gray and only short time after
ward thousands of those who were
left began their preparations for de-
parture.
