Constantinople dispatches received in
London confirm the previous ac-
counts Of the revolt against the gov

The dispatches added little to the

Whooping cough and measles kill
more babies under two years of age
than any other OF the contagious dis
eases.
Pneumonia. diarrhoeal diseases and
commissions are the diseases that
cause the greatest number of deaths,
and all three often follow whooping
cough and measles.
Danger! Keep children with whOop-
ing cough from other children espe-
oially from babies. Keep them out OF
street carr. etc. Children with whoop-
ing cough should not be allowed 20
play with other children. They should
be taken out of doors. but not

Since the timber business is practi-

can easily be made to produce from
two to three times as much as they
now do.
How is this to be done?
First Of all the "rest cure" for corn
fields must be abandoned. The
school teachers tell us that a change
OF work is a rest. so they change
the childrcn's tasks frequently. This
law applies Just as truly to the
crops VIC raise on our fields as 20
ourselves. So that when you put diff
ferent crops On your fields each year

obtain the same results you are aim

to the carrying out of this program
there Is some doubt. The Democrats
have six majority in the Senate, they
having 81 members and the Republi-

very likely that the two Democratic
senators from Louisiana will vote
with tho Republicans against the
bill on account of the sugar schedule
which places sugar on the free list
at the end of three years. Then if
two more Democrats can be induced
TO vote against the bill on account Of
free wool, tho hill will then be de-
feated. However. 1t is not likely that
four Democratic Senators will vote
against the Bi.l. Pres. Wilson is

he has grown stronger every day
since he has boon in the White House
