BABY's LITTLE DEFECTS AND
HOW TO CURE THEM.
] have seen mothers actually star

| have seeu mothers actually start
babies in this fatal habit of finger
sucking by giving them what is known
as 'pacifier," or rubber nipple on
ring. 1t is natural for baby to suck
at something. He is born hungry.
When he is very young. he will con-
tinue making sucking motions with his
mouth after the breast or bottle has
been taken from him. If he happens
to whimper, the mother thinks the lit
tie sucking motion must be satisfied,
she gives him the pacifier or actually
sticks his thumb in his mouth, and the
mischief Is begun.
The tendency to suck the thumb is
easily checked. From the very start,
remove the thumb or finger and lay the
little hand firmly down at the baby's
side as he drops asleep. II he persists,
then Immediately, not after the habit Is
almost iron-clad, have him sleep with
his hand in a mitten. 1t is never too
soon to correct this habit. Better
crying baby today than deformed
daughter ten years from now. Thumb
sucking thrusts the teeth out, and in
some cases gives the entire lower part
of the face the shape Of a rabbits. Is
Many mothers ask me about badly
shaped hands, and stubby fingers. Even
these can be improved or remedied by
patient care right after the baby is
born. Smooth them firmly, steadily in
to shape few minutes alta time,
every time the baby wakens. OF course
| if bones are misshapen they cannot be
changed, but the stubby finger can be
improved by pressure-if taken in
time. But it does no good to rub the
fingers one day and let them go three.
1t must be done patiently. regularly.
and gently, every day while the flesh,
bones and nails are soft
The next talk will be on fresh air
and exercise for the baby.

QUIT is undeniable that they are to-
day paying heavy penalty for the
mistakes of their managers in the past.
Indeed. SO beset are some of them as
to make it clear that, in business
circles at least, there is revulsion of
feeling due to the impression that the
government Is no longer giving them
a square DEAL that the pendulum, hav-
ing swung too far in one direction is
going too far in the other; that owing
to legislation, regulation and threat
of confiscation. and by autocratic use
of federal authority, the lot of the
railway company at least is becoming
lntolerable; that so much of the pow
or Of company officials has been strip
ped from them by government arbi-
tration, control and regulation that
they can no longer be held responsible
by their stockholders for satisfactory
results. It is even said that their pres
emit estate is so intolerable that COM
plete government ownership Is begin
ming to appear preferable.
Thus, in his recent annual report,
Mr.. Rea, the president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, declared: 1T is evil
dent that the ability to regulate wages
and working conditions and other
heavy operating expenses has rs the

HAPPINESS IN THRIFT.

Thrifty people are happy people, be.
cause their thrift brings them security
and content.
In these opening days of the year,
it is fitting for every citizen to think OF
thrift in it's broad aspect and remember
that the prosperity of the nation IS
largely founded upon the thrift Of its
people.
Thrift produces simple habits. clean
bodies and contented minds. 1t makes
nations great and powerful.
Out of the savings of the thrifty
come all huge investments. all funds
for great public works and industrial
enterprises. Without thrift there would
be no transportation systems, no in.
vestments in community or industrial
securities. no great and powerful n.
nancial institutions.
Dividends on savings are the imme'
date material reward of thrift. But
there can be no interest without princi.
pal and the way to build up reserve
fund Is not to wait until you can put
lot of money into the bank, but to
save and deposit the small amounts
as you go along

GETTING EFFICIENCY.

At a recent public meeting in Mil
waukee at which the chief topic OF dis
cussion was the growing demand TO;
efficiency in government-city, county
state and nation-the following ten
"earmarks of the progress being made
toward that end were pointed out by
competent authorities:
The effort to secure efficiency is now
nationwide-no longer local.
Counties, villages, states and the ma
tion--and not merely the large cities
arc calling for and responding to this
effort.
Continuous effort is taking the place
of sporadic effort: persistence is taking
the place of panacea; cumulative eff
fort is taking the place of convu!sive
effort.
Non-political as well as political de
partments of government, schools as
well as public works are turning the
looking glass on purpose, method and
results. And citizens respond by vot-
ing funds for school needs and by re-
wa.ding earnest, efficient teaching
and supervision that helps teachers
do their best
Private as well as public agencies de.
mand efficiency in the conduct of their
business.
Impersonal and nonpartisan effort
is taking the place of personal and
partisan effort.
Performance not promise, is required
SO generally that it is now dangerous
for any candidate to come before his
constituency unprepared to meet every
pledge with record of definite ser.
vice performed.
Opposition must be specific not gen.
eral-or else opposition fails in an in.
creasing number of cases. At least it
will fail SO far as the program is con-
cerned.
The democracy of information is
proving itself more potent because
more possible than any democracy OF
capital which is not based first upon
eqral possession of the facts.
Government business is being used
for teaching purposes. The education
aspect is overshadowing the political
aspect of municipal work.

Press Comment

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Watchful
wairlng while the riot is in progress is
often dangerous for the innocent by
stander.
Cedar Rapids Republican: The state
highway commission has reported fav-
orably on the experiment with convicts
on highways. They did good work and
this year many more are to be utilized.
This may be the coming solution Of the
problem Of the employment Of prison
labor It may beat that Cosson 1000
acre farm proposition.
Waterloo CourierPost: Bachelor
girls will doubtless be interested in
the statement that San Francisco has
more bachelors than any other city in
the world. But the statement may be
inst another effort of the Frisco press
agent to attract more people to the
Panama Pacific exposition next year.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: The road
bill which has passed the house at
Washington by vote of seven to one,
will give Iowa almost million for
roads if the state can put up an equal
amount. This means that our auto
license tax must be made state aid
fund so that when 1t finally comes back
to the counties 1t will have been
doubled in size by the windfall from
Uncle Sam.

Forest officers in Washington and
Oregon plan to discontinue the use OF
barbed wire on their forests. This Will
affect their own pastures and public
drift fences. They say barbed wire
has no advantage over smooth wire.
that it Injuries stock, and that 1t ls
more likely to be borne down by soft
snow. Stockmen on the Ochoco forest
in Oregon, recently constructed drift
fences of smooth wire, though with
some misgivings; now they say they
will never use barbed wire again.
