SOUND AND EXPECTED EMPLOY
MENT PLANS.

No student Of the question of un-
employment needs to be told that the
legislation and organization proposed
by the federal industrial commission
as preventives or palliatives of invol-
untary idleness are in line with the
best thought and the experience of
progressive states and nations Co
operation, labor exchanges, the prac-
ticaI mobilization of the army of I'M
employed and the systematic adapta-
ton of demand to supply are among
the first of the remedies to be adopt
ed. Local efforts may do some good,
but they often aggravate the trouble
by making a certain city the Mecca
of the idle for vast districts
The federal commission advocates
the establishment of labor exchanges
and clearing houses, as well as CO.
operation between private and public
employment agencies. In England
this program has been largely put in
to effect. and in addition transporta-
ton is provided. the payment being
on the installment plan. TO destitute
workers who have To be moved from
one place to another. The tranSpOr-
tation problem Will. of course, nave
to be faced here also, but it is not so
pressing as in England, perhaps and
in any case. one thing at a time Is
good policy.
The next period of serious disloca-
ton of industry. of widespread idle
ness. should find us better prepared
to cope with the problem than we
were last winter. The steps TO be
taken are sufficiently indicated.-Chl-
cago Record Herald.

/ am going to give this little talk
TO mothers who nurse their own
babies.
have already told you how inn
portant it is 10 feed your baby from
your breast the way nature intended
You will remember l said only one
breast-fed baby dies TO ten of bottle
fed babies
Yet why does the one breast-fed
baby die?
Many mothers believe if they
nurse their baby. they have nothing
to learn.
Nature. they believe. Will handle
their baby without any guidance, be-
cause they are not interfering with
her laws.
That is not altogether right. True
IL is ten times easier to bring up a
breast-fed baby. and yet more breast
led babies die than ought 10.
We are making the bottle-fed ba-
bleS VINO die less every year. We want
to save the breast-fed babies, too.
AS a matter of fact nursing moth
er is likely to be a little careless.
In the first place she often thinks
her baby will cry when it is hungry.
and therefore whenever it cries she
nurses it.
l have already told you not to give
your baby food every time it cries.
The same rule hold good for nursing
babies
The little one should be fed regu-
larry by the clock. whether il is
bottle-fed or nursing baby.
You eat regularly yourself or YOU
don't feel well as a rule. Why should
you not feed your baby the same
way?
IL is much more important that a
baby should be fed regularly than
that grown person should do so
If you nurse your baby every time
it cries, it will get in the habit Of
feeding more and more often. taking
a little each time, and never giving
its little stomach a chance TO rest
Besides that it will wake every lit
tie while in the night and cry to be
nursed.
If the foolish mother does this. the
