How odd it is that an American
mother will criticise the Chinese moth
er who binds her baby-girls feet or
the Indian mother who straps her
newborn son on a board, and then
calmly pin the belly-band so tight
round her own newborn baby's abdo-
men that it cuts into the tender flesh.
In common with the average wom-
an, uneducated and unframed for moth
erhood l recall that l overestimated
the Importance of the belly-band in
clothing my own babies, but l never
realized that it was still being trans
formed into an instrument of torture
until l attended Better Babies Con
tests. There, watching mothers I'M

animation, | was shocked at the ridges,
and cruel red lines left by the discard
ed strips of flannel. And heard many
a good doctor lecture these mothers
severely for the tightness of the bands
and the discomfort the baby had en-
dured. ri
After this experience, l believe that
many baby accused of being irritable
and wakeful or others dosed for collie
are merely suffering from the structure
of the belly-band. Mothers who have
had to endure the torture of an ILL
fitting, tight corset for a day or more,
please give this matter consideration.

motherhood is that of overdressing my
babies. Next to my wedding trousseau

tary Bryan, he made known his atti-
tude regarding the situation.
With governor, eight state senators
and sixty assemblymen to be chosen in
three cornered contest, the political
battle in New Jersey is complex. The
views of the political managers on the
outcome of the election vary greatly.
The state chairman of each of the
three political parties battling in the
state is claiming the victory for his
candidate. With Acting Governor
James F. Fielder waging fight for the
Wilson policies, ex-State Senator Ever
! tee Colby carrying the Progressive
/ banner, and former Governor Edward
/ C. Stokes leading a reunited and
strongly recruited Republican army, to
, predict the result of the contest would
be sheer guesswork.
Even more complex than the situa-
ton in New Jersey is that presented
in Massachusetts, where the gubena-
torial race is being run with seven en-
tries. Eugene N. Foss, the present
governor, is seeking reelection as an
Independent. Charles S. Bird, who
was a candidate last year, is again the
standard-bearer of the Progressive
party. The Republicans have nomi-
! mated for governor Congressman A. p.
Gardner, well remembered as one of
the leaders of the insurgent movement
against Speaker Cannon. The Demo
cratic candidate is David I. Walsh the
present lieutenant governor The cleo
ton is regarded as most important be-
cause of the effect it will have upon
the future of the Republican and Pro
! gressive parties. Public sentiment in
regards to the Wilson administration
| will hardly be reflected either in a
! Democratic victory or defeat, since the
/ state platform of that party makes nc
reference to the administration or the
B tariff bill.
+ The election of United States sena
/ tor to succeed the late Isadore RayneI
{ is the big feature Of the Maryland
campaign. William P. Jackson, Repub
d, lcan, was appointed to the position by
/ Governor Goldsborough pending the
election of a successor by the legisla
ture, but with the adoption of the Con
stitutional amendment providing fol
the popular election of United States
senators, the Governor decided to sub
stitute the choice of the people for his
own personal selection. The candi
/ dates for the senatorship are Blai

BEST YEARS OF MANS LIFE
Depend on What Youth Was, Nature
Of His Work and Staying
Powers.

What are a mans best years" de.
pends largely on what his youth was
the time for laying the foundation. II
also depends upon the nature of his
work and something of hissstamina or
staying powers; also, as to whether
he has mastered his environments or
allowed them to master him. Hugo
Munsterberg places the high water
mark at so years; Doctor Wiley thinks
mans best work should be done
after he is sixty; while Doctor Osler
claims that little original and valu.
able work is done after the age OF
forty. AS for my own humble opin.
ion, I am quite thoroughly convinced
that q man does not reach his prime
of intellectual strength and lucidity
until he arrives at the halfway house
-threescore, and ten.
The life problem Is very much like
a marathon, and should be decided
accordingly. On the one hand, 1t is
not question Of years, but of condi.
tion-mentally and physically. How
did he pass the. e.seventieth milestone,
old and decrepit or vigorously? On
the other hand, 1t is not a question as
to the time he made, but what was his
condition? Did he collapse or did he
finish strong?-Los Angeles Times.
