Plate Baby Can't Push of the Table.
At last some one has brought out a
plate that baby can't push of the table
and break into a dozen pieces. This
new plate resembles a fat, deep bowl

nursery rimes and Kate Greenaway
pictures. Around the lower bottom
is fastened a strong wire support that
catches under the table edge. the edge
of high chair or tray and that keeps
the plate firm.

What Every Mother Should Know.

What Every Mother Should Know.
Every mother should early learn the
appearance Of a healthy throat. She
can then easily recognize infiamma'
ton, enlarged tonsils and other IN
healthy conditions. She should also
accustom her child to throat examina-
ton Even a baby will soon learn
that there is nothing to dread in hav-
ing a teaspoon or other form OF tongue
depressor used AS so many of chill
dren's serious troubles start In the
throat, it is better to be oyercautious
and to summon a doctor at once. The
appearance of a rash is another danger
signal which should not be allowed to
go unheeded. child on whom
rash has broken out should at once be
quarantined. especially If there are
other children in the family.
II a child shows any bad effects
from a fall doctor should be con-
suited and the child thoroughly ex-
amined. The fact that no bones are
broken is no proof that other injury
has not been sustained. This is one
of the cases where an ounce Of pre-
vention is worth many pounds Of cure.

ton is untiring. But it would seem that both the
imagination and TIL tongue had fairly outdone them
selves in the propagation of the yarn that President
Wilson wears a monoce. -tr,
OF course, he does not. That is about all that
should be needed. The Presidents eyes have suf-
ered from overstran incident to many years of hard
usage and he carries little magnifying glass with
which to re-enforce his eyes and regular glasses on
occasions that demand This is hitched to his waist
coat in order that i may be mandy. But it is never
inserted in the eye and after the fashion that
made Joseph Chamberlain even more famous than
his tariff views. ~ ..' -..
The excesses of political debate are doubtless to
be expected; but the man who would be SO unfair
and disreputabe of controversial method to punch
a really sincere public man below the belt with the
story that he wears monoce, deserves especially
refined and exquisite punishment

NATIONALIZING WIRE SERVICE.

The same logic that has led private enterprise to
bring the telegraph and telephone service to con.
siderable extent under common control, doubtless
will weigh just as heavily with gentlemen who con-
slider an incursion of the Government into the field
of wire service. Ii seems altogether certain tha,
Government assumption of the wire service as a
feature of the postofce, will in the very near future
be pressed upon the country. One Postmaster Gen
eral under conservative Republican administration
has recommended it. Now we have a Democratic
postal management indorsing the same plan There
is the experience of the Old World as guide and /,
develops that the British postmaster general has
been in Washington quite lately, advising officials
about the methods which British experience indicated
to be most desirable in undertaking such project
Two very different plans are reported to have
advocates One looks to the Government taking over
the long-distance telephone wires and then using
them for telegraph as well telephone service, by
the simple process of hitchng keys and saunders to
the phone wires, and using them at the same time for
telephoning and telegraphing. This is a perfectly
feasible plan, in the present state of electrical de-
velopment But financially and morally it is one
thet the American Government is unlikely tc adopt
1t looks to invading the telegraph field and driving the
telegraph companies out of business. That would
mean in effect to ruin the investment in their securi-
tics and leave the shares worthless
The American people will not do it. They may
in due time determine to take the telegraph and
telephone facilities; but they will not confiscate any
great property TIE community has no need to WORRY
on such a score.
