DEMOCRATIC RALLY
IN SCENIC THEATRE
Hon. frank Reeves and Many Other
County Candidates Present. The
Theatre Packed

The unteriied democrats, as they
were wont to be called in days gone
bv, had a good audience last night.
The drum band performed on the
street in the evening and no doubt
helped to fill the Scenic theatre. Be-
cause the Echo goes to press Thurs
day night it is impossible to give more
than the names of those who were
present. Col. Fox presided and pre-
sented the speakers with few brief
Introductory remarks. Among the can
didates for county Office who were
present and spoke were T. E. Cade,
candidate for prosecuting attorney,
Geo. w. Holman, candidate for sheriff,
Harry A. Boblett, candidate for county
clerk, Homer Grant, candidate for
auditor, E. K. Barnum, candidate for
county engineer, Geo. A. Hauber, OF
Peshastin, candidate for county COM
missioner from the second district, and
Hon. Frank Reeves, candidate for the
legislature from Chelan county, who
made the longest speech, talking in
his usual happy vein. Mr.. Reeves
told the audience that with demo
cratic governor taxes had been re-
duced, and if he was elected, and
there were enough more in the next
legislature of his way of thinking, they
would be further reduced. He also
made strong talk for prohibition.
Here the reporter was called away by
the lateness of the hour, almost ten
O'clock. OF this we can assure our
readers, if Mr.. Reeves is elected Che
Ian county will be represented by a
man of ability, and the county will not
have to blush because OF his lack OF
mental equipment, which the same
could not be said OF all of Washing
toms lawmakers in the past.

The Echo acknowledges pleasant
call from Dr.. King OF Wenatchee yes
terday afternoon. The doctor has al
most recovered from his attack of par
tial paralysis two years ago and looks
very much like his old and enthusiastic
self. While he is not taking very
active part in politics he is still a pro-
gressive, and says Ole Hanson will be
elected United States senator, in which
belief we heartily agree with him.

Mutual Mercantile Warehouse Broken Int

The Mutual Mercantile Co.'s ware
house, located on the alley back Of the
light company's building was broken
into Wednesday night and number of
sacks Of flour taken. Other goods may
have been taken but SO far this is all
that can be missed.
We have heard of much pilfering OF
back porches, clothes lines and ice
boxes the past three weeks. AS winter
draws on this will increase and house
holders should make it point to keep
all valuables under lock and key.

Give BABY The
BEST IN HOUSE

In the February Woman's Home
Companion appears department for
Better Babies in which there is a
very interesting and helpful article
entitled What Every Baby Needs, by
DR.. 8. Josephine Baker, director of
child hygiene in the Department Of
Health of New York City. Following
is an interesting extract:
The best ventilated, sunniest, and
most easily cleaned room in the house
should be the baby's bedroom and
nursery. There should be no unnec-
essary furniture or curtains; Just
simple wholesomeness and cleanli.
ness, with a thorough airing every
day and a constant supply Of fresh
air az all times except in severe stor-
my, or very cold weather. The baby
should always sleep alone. This does
not mean that the mother is not to
hold her baby. During the first few
months the baby, when properly fed
comfortably clothed, placed in a bed
with warm but light bed clothing in
a we'll ventilated, darkened room, will
sleep the greater part Of the twenty.
four hours Of each day. Reason de.
velops at very early age and dur,
ing the second and third years II good
habits in this respect have been well
established, the good night hour which
belongs to the mother and child is a
perfectly normal desire which should
be satisfied.
In order to be normal baby must
lead a normal life. The latter does
not mean either neglect or over at.
tention. My personal experience has
led me to believe that more babies
suffer from over care than from lack
of care. During It's time Of rapid
growth a great deal of quiet is es-
sential to the baby. During the Sec
ond year 1t should sleep over twelve
hours each night. with a nap morn
ing and afternoon. During the next
year the same period of sleep at night
should be observed but one nap
day is efficient. Remember that the
baby needs peace and quiet for the
safety of both its mind and body. 10
needs to be held in its mothers arms
quietly and gently. 1t does not need
unnecessary handling or the thousand
and one ways of entertainment that
are devised by the admiring family
and relatives.

Mr.. WILSON'S INFLUENCE

Certainly; the country is in great
need of peace and rest; rest from
rash and laundering free trade expert
ments, and the peace that comes from
stable business conditions. Up to the
present moment, the influence exerted
by Mr.. Wilson has been of the worst
possible kind, 1t has already cost the
country billions Of dollars in dimin-
ished values and incomes. This is
peace Of solitude, the rest of men
peace of solitude, the rest of men
out of work. What the country most
needs is very much less of this kind

QU!I!!$S,H HIS
TO SLEEP

In the February Woman's Home
-Companion, Bruce Barton writes an
interesting article entitled Why FIJI
80 Women Do Not Go to Church. Mr.
barton wrote to several hundred rep
resentative women living in widely
different localities, asking for a frank
EXPRESSION of opinion. The letters he
received in reply form the basis OF
two articles, the first of which Is the
ono referred to above. The second
which is to appear later IS called
WHY Fifty Women DO Not Go to
Church.
One of the letters published Is
from n woman named Mrs. White
who with her husband, William, used
IN live on a farm and go to church IN
the nearest town-a town OF 4oOo
incubation. Recently her husband
gave up life on the farm and bought
hardware store in the town. Since
then the church bells have rung IN
vain, so far as the Whites are con-
cerned, and following is Mrs. Whites
explanation:
We meant to continue as regular
attendants at the NJ. E. Church but
town life is different from our old
life on the farm. There we were hum
CRY for society and welcomed the OPP
portunity that the Sunday morning
service gave; there, too, our time
was largely our own. Now Sunday
morning is the only time we can
sleep. My husband is In the store
all day and until late Saturday night
and 1t is really pleasure to SIT
at home and not have to hurry. Then
too, when evening comes we have the
excuse that 1t is our only evening at
home together. There are things l
would like to see done differently in
the churches, but our difficulty is not
lack Of faith, but lack of time and
energy.
The old habit dies hard in Mrs.
White; she still feels a twinge Of
conscience at every stroke of the Sun
day morning bell; she is careful not
to be seen at the window while the
church procession is vending its halt.
ing way past her house, lest the 9th
er members of the Clio club, of which
she is secretary, should see her in
week day clothes, resting and should
criticize. But it came to be ques-
ton with her between William and
the church, between the day of rest
with him and the children, and day
broken into three useless parts by two
church services. She chose William
and the rest-and there are two seats
in the NJ. L. Church which probably
will not be occupied again, except
perhaps at Christmas time or Easter
