The Care Of the Baby.

r. Whether or not a child shall grow
up to be healthy, vigorous adult de-
ponds almost entirely on the care it re-
ceives in the earliest months of life.
During this time it is important that
1t should have the most intelligent
care and attention. Before all else
the mother must give time to her
baby.
The only safe, perfect food supply Is
mothers milk. A nursing baby can re-
sist disease, extremes of heat and cold
and other discomforts much better
than bottle-fed babies. Every effort
should be made to nurse the baby.
The baby must be fed at regular
times, and no change should be made
in the hours for feeding. Most healthy
babies do well on three-hour feelings,
but If the baby is to be fed every three
a half If newborn babies are regu-
larry fed from the start, they will
learn to walen at the hours of feeding
A nursing baby should not be fed ev-
cry time 1t wakes at night. 1t should
not sleep in the same bed with the
mother. If it sleeps all night, it
should not be disturbed for feeding.
More babies are sick from too much
food than from too little.
A baby should get accustomed to
taking a little boiled water from bot.
tie occasionally, so that it case of Ill.
ness or absence of the mother it can
be nourished A nursing baby should
gain on an average four ounces a
week If it loses in weight steadily
and the stools show that the food is
not digested, a physician should at
once be consulted. Nursing should
never be stopped without asking the.

sThese. are the facts that account
/, for what few of our readers mistak.
J emily call the 'eolering by us of our
war news. Coloring' is mot the right
word for what happens, since nowhere
IS there compulsion on our correspond
ents to send untrue OF distorted news,
and they are thoroughly well aware
that such news is not wanted from
them, even when the alternative, as it
, is just now in Berlin, may be next to
no news at all. The right word is
selection and, unfortunately, the Sc.
lecting in time of war is done with
military, not journalistic, ends in view.
'sStill, what the censors accomplish
is not the suppression of the news, but
the delaying of it. Sooner or later the
truth all gets out.
The newspapers themselves have a
ground of complaint in common with
their readers. The New York World,
in one editorial, reviews the same diff
ficulties mentioned above and points
out the astonishing thing that, Sin
spite of the almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles that belligerent governments
have placed in the way Of the press,
the American newspapers have been
able to do so.awell, yet in another
place exelaims:l -

officialism has undertaken to suppress.
public and private information should
be noted by the people of every nation.
What is called censorship has been
wanton destruction. The result has
been hardship, suffering, and falsehpod,
with probably few advantages to any
body.
In England measures have been
taken to introduce common sense into
the system, and in this country restric-
tions upon the use Of the wireless
which put it out of service in some
cases have been modified. Perhaps in
the course of time public opinion in all
lands will compel governments to ex-
ereise intelligent discrimination in such
matters.
Whenever political or military
power assumes. to say what people shall
read, how they shall think, and what
conclusions they shall reach, it usually
goes about the business clumsily, and
thus defeats its own objects. True cen
sorship, even in war, demands know
ledge and wit. In this instance it has /,

England and America both are suf.
fering through the recklessness Of a
yellow press and the strict censorship
of real war news. We have been treat.
ed to accounts of North Sea battles
of sinking ships as well as of victorious
fleets that are contradicted within the
same day. Besides the publication of
news that Is no news, the German ele-
ment of our population complains bit
teTly in letters to the press of the col
oring of news in q way unfaverable to
the Fatherland. The New York Trib-
une speaks for itself and other Ameri-
can papers in declaring its purpose to
give authentic news on the progress of
the war. News from the continent can
not be guaranteed, however, when all
normal means of communication are in
the hands of the military authorities
and strict censorship is maintained. =
Readers are asked to bear in mind that
sunder such conditions q newspaper
cannot verify the accuracy of all the
reports reaching it, and yet must print
them for what they are worth. The
New York Times goes more into detail
in explaining the vieissitudes of our
war news in its passage through many
hands before reaching US;
A popularity of the war news, as
it comes to the American papers, is
that practically all of it, except that
relating to England, has to pass two
military eensorships, and in the case
of the news from Germany or Austria
each censor has objects in view that
are different from, as well as antago-
nistic to, those of the other.
1.-THE correspondent in London is
the nearest to free, though even his
liberty is much restricted. He can send
TO us any news he can get from any
source, providing it receives official APP
proval as making no untimely revela-
tion concerning the British forces and
Intentions and as not injurious to Brit
ish allies. The gatherer of the inform
alton in France has to submit his
copy to q like, but probably more
rigid, scrutiny before what is left Of
it is sent on to London, whence alone
it can come to America.
pBut it is the man in Berlin who,
for the present at least, has the hard
est time, for there the idea Of q cen
sorship takes the form of q determine
ton to suppress not only all news
harmful to German interests, but also
sll that is not, in the opinion Of the
in one way or another dis
tinctly helpful to those interests. That,
of course, makes the Berlin dispatches
few in number, but in addition it
makes more than probable that when
they reach the hands Of the British
censor he will decide that their pnbli-
cation would be undesirable. In other
words, he is apt to object to them for
