RACING A Train MAKE HIM TIRED [
The President Says He Hates
the Moral towards.
He Wishes They Would Stay ON
the Side Lines.

his address at the 7. NJ. c. A. ami
versary celebration today. President
Wilson said he felt that by his being
away from Washington congress
could have more leisure to adjourn.
He spoke particularly of the ideals of
young men. Most people, he declared
believed young men to be arch radi-
cal but that he had found them to
be very conservative. 1T would be
good for men. both young and DID, -
Mr.. Wilson said, ito detach them
selves more from business and think
OF higher things. I wonder how many
Of us think of Christianity as an in
strumentality for the practical devel-
opment of mankind.
No man Is a true Christian who
does not think of how he can help his
brother. how he can uplift mankind
and who does not labor unselfishly for
others. The duty of Christian young
men Is to uplift the world. They are
the strongest kind of young men. 1
believe there is growing to be more
and more a demand for such men in
the world. for the world is growing to
appreciate them more and more"
The president pleaded for homes
with Christian atmosphere saying that
christianity is catching" and that
children reared in Christian homes
are more apt to be good citizens than
others.
How tired I am" continued the
president. "of the men whose virtue
is selfish because it is self-protective.
l hate the moral coward and despise
him as well. I wish the towards
would stay on the side lines and let
others do the things to be DONE Don't
follow people who stand still. Lead
ers must be aggressive.
IF you can guess beforehand who
your leaders are to be the chances are
they will be useless. believe in pop
ular government because under it we
do not know from what family or
class or occupation the leaders will
come. This is an age in which the
principles Of those who utter public
opinion rule the world. In the end
the popular jury will find the right
rs 1t not important that we, who
constitute a part of the jury, shall
look at things from a current view
point and with a Christian spirit? 1
hope that there will now be a great
rush of Christian spirit on the doors
Of evil.
What you have to do is to fight,
not with cannon but with right. We
have just concluded treaties of peace
with a great many nations providing
that we shall look for the light for a
year. Ny prediction is that if after
the light has shone on a dispute for a
year, it will not be necessary to do
anything after we know what has
happened. Then we will know who
was right and who was wrong. I be-
lieve that light is the greatest sanf-
tary influence in the world"
The president left for WASHINGTON

special in the $4,000 Italian motor car
Friday evening, Edward b. Mclean,
father Of Vinson Walsh Mclean, the
lone hundred million dollar baby"
received a broken arm when the gas

The car was destroyed by flames.
Mclean had been to the Laurel
race track and was returning to
Washington. He had with him John
Gheen, a garage keeper in this city.
There is a strip OF road alongside
the railroad track which the frequent
ers of Laurel use as a speedway. NC
Lean is regarded as one of the most
daring drivers in Washington. He
had scarcely struck this stretch on his
return to Washington when the Bal
timore and Ohio flyer Numbered
along.
Mclean set his machine to full
speed. He was keeping alongside the
train when the explosion came and he
and his companion were hurled to
the ground.

Bowman has made. If he can prove
his charges, every man and woman In
Kansas may % sure will not dodge
q responsibility. But coming at this
time, there is q peculiar odor about
the charges that leads me to believe
they might have been kept in storage

Bowman Moves Omco.
With the tense situation existing in
the board Of control, H. C. Bowman.
the Republican member, today trans
ferred his portion of the Office work to
the west wing of the state house and
took up desk space in the Office OF w.
E. Davis, state auditor. When Bow
man went to the state house this
morning, he went at once to the audi
tors Office and prepared a statement
for the newspapers concerning the
controversy among board members.
Later in the day he sent his son to
the control board Office to inquire Tor
his personal mail.
this morning, Bowman declined to
desk to the opposite end Of the state
house. Not since the Republican
member of the board gave his charges
against Brooks and Myers to the
newspapers. have the Republican and
Democratic members met. Both
Brooks and Bowman have opened a
cross fire of charges and counter
charges and have started a siege on
the newspapers and political head
quarters with enough typewritten doc
uments to compile a book.

Cold weather and laziness cause more

Look over the reports Of the deaths
of children under two years old and
see what you find." said DR.. ]. J. Sippy,
epidemiologist for the state board OF
health. THE various digestive diseases
of children cause most OF the deaths.
Now there are no flies to cause this
trouble.
1T is Just pure laziness on the part
of the mother and father in great
many cases. They put the baby to
bed early in the evening, after the
regular evening meal But the BABY
gets hungry during the night and must
have a bottle of milk. Instead OF the
mother or father getting up. going out
to the kitchen, getting good cold milk
and warming it for the baby at nurs-
ing time. a great many people warm
bottle of milk as they go to bed and
take it to bed with them and when
baby wakes up give it to him. Then
the baby.
warm milk is the finest breeding
place for serms imaginable. There are
many germs necessary to milk but
when it is warmed, these multiply so
rapidly that they soon become posi-
tive menace to children's stOmachs.
Feeding the baby milk that has been
warmed for any considerable length
of time is certain to make the baby
sick"
OF course it is pretty hard to get up
in the cold. said the doctor, and fix the
babys milk but it is the only safe
way to do. The board of health is send
ing out bulletin on feeding babies and
in II is this warning:
do not heat a bottle when you go
to bed and keep it in bed until nursing
time. because you do not want to go
to the ice box for it and heat it when
the baby needs it. This is a certain
way to make the baby SICK

A special dispatch says the allies
have advanced further on Ostend, their
lines now extending from coast to q
point between Slype and st. Pierre

the Germans after a success on the
User are leaving the coast and working
around by Dixmude to Lille. thereby
clearing the way to Ostend and leaving
their position open to a thanking move

One thing energies clear from all the
reports-that is that incessant fighting

Newport and Ostend.

Petrograd reports a continuation Of
the pursuit of the Germans retreating
from Warsaw and admits an unex-

Russian offensive from the Austrians
on the San, while the official Vienna
report after detailing successes before

ward the Vistula, admits that the Rus
slams were permitted to cross the San
in several places.
England is hoping today that the ca
reer of the famous German commerce
destroyer Emden is ended. This hope
is based on two more or less cryptic
cables from Bombay, one issued by the
Bombay government, declaring that all
sea routes may be considered reason
ably safe from o'clock in the evening

BIG FARMERS MEETING.
Thomas County Farmers Institute
Held This Week at Colby.

Colby, Kan, Oct. 24.-The annual
farmers institute of Thomas county
was held here this week and it was q
great success in every way. An auto
mobile parade, headed by the oldtime
method Of travel, the covered schooner
wagon, was one Of the attractive fea-
lures Of the D. ogram.
The agricultural exhibits were espe-
cially attractive and the addresses
were both entertaining and instructive
to the thousand or more farmers and
their families who attended.

Pioneer Scene Before Crowd.

the old days were re-enacted. A man
who had stolen a horse in mimic was
pursued by a posse of grim visaged
settlers several miles and captured.
He was returned to town, given a
regulation court-martial and then
hanged to a tree. 1t all was very real
istic. Thousands were in attendance,
and a special train brought the girls

negative.

The governor was also impressed

German Guns Are Now Stuck

London, Oct. 24.@The German

For nearly a week now this COM

by their king and supported by French
troops, with British and French war
vessels on the sea and British moni-
tors in the canals, lending the aid of
their long range guns while air scouts
direct their range.
The battle resolved itself into a duel
of the big guns. The allies by reason
of their long range guns have had the
advantage up to now because the Bel
gians by opening the dykes and flood
ing the country to the east of the
User canal upon which the allied line
is established, have made veritable
quagmire of their front for several
miles, utterly running the roads and
converting the fields into swamps. Fol-
this reason the Germans have been
