Overestimating Virtue.

The Young Mems Christian Asso.
citation of Chicago has put the ban on
tobacco. Henceforward man who
smokes and is unwilling to give up
this indulgence, or lie about it, will
not be welcome in any of it's hotels.
In making this announcement Y.
NJ. c. A. official says that there will
be no trouble in filling the rooms of
the various buildings with nom
smokers. There is little doubt about
that. Excellent men who do not
smoke will no doubt be found in NUM-
bers in the Y. NJ. c. A. establish
ments in the future, as in the past.
Nevertheless, this official attempt at
prescribing a mans personal conduct
to such an extent will be keenly re-
scented by many young men of good
character Rather than have their
habits thus censored, they will seek
shelter elsewhere. An institution de-
signed to help the young men of the
country to better living should hest
tate before it overestimates the MI
nor vices. There are many clergy
men of high character who keep .
box of cigars in their study, and who
are consistent enough, when smoking
themselves, to offer a, cigar to their
neighbor or caller According to the
new rules of the Y. NJ. c. A., these
clergymen would not be welcome IN
any of it's dormitories. Too many
restrictions defeat their own ends. To
set up standard of impeccability
will not serve the ends for which the
Y. M. C. A. is supported. And, by
the way, how many of its supporters
are non-smokers

Bull. mo. Is ripens in Central Min

''1n this way the farmer has new
corn with which to fatten his hogs or
cattle early in the season and he is
able to sell them before the heavy
run at the stock yards, generally get
ting good prices
Inquiries asking where good seed
for next spring may be secured are
beginning to come into the office of
the division of agronomy.
There is going to be large sup
ply of seed corn, due, to consider
able extent, tc the interest taken in
Seed Corn Week." says Mr.. Bull,
"but it is probable that the supply of
first-class seed oats, wheat, and bar
ley will be small.
Farmers who have choice grain
should save it and get in touch with
the Minnesota Crop Improvement as
ISOLATION which issues annually a list
of persons having good seed for sale.
The headquarters of the association
are at University Farm, st. Paul"

SOLDIERS IN WAR
SAFER THAN BABIES

Soldiers in the great European
war are safer than babies right here
in America" says DR.. H. w. Hill of
the Minnesota Public Health associa
ticn. Twenty percent of babies die
within the first five years after birth
and we don't expect any such proper
ton of deaths amongst the hosts now
battling abroad. In the four years of
the civil war the total deaths were
but 10 percent of the total soldiers.
Our Minnesota babies can show equal
losses in the first four years of their
little individual campaigns for life
against germs, poor feeding, poor
all, poor care. Mothers do not neces-
sarily know how to care for babies:
and no part of girls education is
more neglected as rule than this
subject.
'The Minnesota Public Health as
ISOLATION is planning a series of free
demonstrations for mothers in twelve
communities ir Minnesota, in connec-
ton with the Red Cross Christmas
seal campaign.
"a trained Baby Welfare snurseefor
a month can do an immense service
to any community"

Gates the kaiser's cousinly feeling, he
also sends forth an order abolishing

Strict rules are laid down in the treaty
for the perpetual naturalization of the

The principal work remaining to be
done in completing the canal is the
deepening and widening of the channel
