consequent upon taking care of the
baby alone causes the milk to dimin
ish in quantity
1t is at this time that many a
mother concludes that the baby is
starving, and is very apt to become
discouraged and give up nursing as
hopeless.
That is a great mistake.
It is usually true that the strain of
this period is relieved, day by day, as
mother and babe gradually become
adjusted; her health reviyes and slow
ly but certainly things will grow more
comfortable, and with this will come
the milk.
So that if the mother will only
strive TO carry herself and the baby
past this epoch she will in all ikeli-
hood be able to nurse the baby quite
successfully. At least every possible
means to this end should be tried be-

GETTING IN THE GAME
BY Edmund Vance Cooke
We proxy players, who sit and yell,
Do we gain of the game one jot or
title
OF its genuine good? Would it not
be well
To get into the game ourselves a
little?
We citizens, careless and all I'M
skilled,
Whose bosses throw US stick to
white
While our national house they shah
billy build,
Shall we not get into the game a
little?
We artist workers, who praise the
past
And whose faith in our ourselves is
weak and brittle,
Is not our day and chance as vast?
Shall we not get into the game
little?
We grubbers and grinders after
wealth
With nothing in life but its drink
and Victual,
viii it not be better for each souls
health
To get into the game and live lit
tie?

Berlin Prepares to

BERLIN. (via AMSTERDAM), Aug.
have been issued to check
the Russian advance. Troops Of the
nrst line. heavily reinforced by sec
ond reserve and members OF the
landstrum are being sent eastward
o the positions selected by the general
stan. They will have the support OF
the Austrian forces which have been
transferred from the Servian border
and of the Austrian army corps which
were started from Vienna on Wednes-
day.
While all information regarding mil
itary movements h withheld. there is
confidence that the combined army
will be able to hold the line against
the Russians. The plan OF battle has
been carefully made. Because OF the
immense distances In eastern Prussia
Il was deemed unwise to oppose the
enemy with heavy force there. In
stead, much Of that country was aban-
doned and the German troops fell back
after inficting serious damage on the
enemy
The war ONCE suggests that impor-
tant movements now In progress will
likely put q different aspect on the
situation In the east.

BAD ROADS VERY EXPENSIVE
Value Of Horses and Mules In One
County In Missouri Deterorated
Per Cent Annually.

From the 1910 United States census
reports it is found that the value of
horses and mules in one county in
Missouri was 1891 ,OS9. The value of
farm vehicles, harness and other
equipment was $4,000, making a to-
tai OF 81 ,206,0S9. The present roads
OF the county cause all animals, vehi-
cles and harness to deteriorate three
per cent per annum faster than they
would or improved roads. Three per
cent OF 81 1,206.oS9 is s36,1S2
This is only one source of loss
which the county must bear every
year on account OF bad roads Again,
the cost per ton mile for hauling on
the roads in the county is 80 cents.
while the cost on good roads is only
IA cents per ton mile, thus saving
16 cents per ton mile.
There are about one hundred thou
sand tons hauled an average OF FIVE
miles in the county; 75 per cent OF
this amount would be over improved
roads provided the present bond issue
carries
Seventy-ive per cent of the 100, 900
tons equal $4,000 tons.
This amount hauled five miles rep
resents 375,000 ton miles: 375, 900 tons
multiplied by 16 cents equals 100000
plus $36,182 equals s96,182 total an
nual loss on account OF present roads
as compared 10 improved roads. This
annual loss 4 in eliminated If the
main or heayl!y travelled roads OF the
county we're improved.
