York city. and In other large commu-
mites in reducing infant mortality.
In New York city alone. with the
condition Of povcrtyN ignorance and
congestion. two thousand fewer babies
died in 1912 and in 1910.
They lived because the mothers had
been taught 10 follow the simple rules
in baby care; and because they had
been made To see that baby cannot
save itself
The national magazines. the local
and state health boards. the childrens
bureaus. the United states government
are doing their utmost in this crusade
10 save the babies of today-the moth
crs and fathers OF the future.
Baby's health is a real service 10 hu-
mainly: a real service TO the future OF
the nation; but most OF ali il Is a real
service TO the individual mother and
fer that reason, II Is valuable infor-
nation.
We study political economy: scien-
tifiC management. how TO grow bigger
and better crops. how To improve our
live stock produce richer milk, bake
better bread.
Why not study how 10 make the
baby bigger and stronger-to caise
the standard OF health OF the COM
munity?
We believe it is the right Of sas-y
child TO be born well. and blessed with
happiness.

There is nothing more fragile. more
helpless or more precious than new

way OF adequately expressing their

must necessarily be dependent wholly

Three hundred thousand babies?
When you first read of the death OF
these three hundred thousand babies
il means little TO you, or rather II
means so much you can't grasp 1t all
at once.
Think, instead. of one little baby.
the pride of some father and mother;
think of the tragedy in that home, i'm
agine the cry of despair from the
mother, as she realizes the little pulse
has beaten for the last time; picture
the dumb anguish written on the face
of the father. as he kneels at the bed
side Of the woman who has suffered
agonies for a lost cause.
And then you will realize that just
such a tragedy is being enacted in a
thousand homes in this country every
day.
What wouldn't you do TO spare just
one of these mothers her suffering?
What wouldn't you do 10 comfort
that broken-hearted father?
What wouldn't any man do?
And statistics tell us that at least
sixty per cent OF these babies might be
saved
In collating the materials for baby's
health we have gone 10 the worlds
greatest authorities on the subject; TO
the men and women who have devoted
their lives to the saving of Americas
babies.
This information has been based on

A sTATE OF MIND.

Two years Of study Of the problem
involved in the high cost Of living has
brought a New York commission TO
the conclusion that the only practical
solution lies in enabling the small re-
tail dealer 10 secure his supplies
quickly and cheaply.
a similar commission in Chicago is
of the opinion that the consumer is
taxed with too much profit by the
wholesaler, the jobber and the re-
taller.
In the first instance the New York
commission has recommended the es-
Enlistment Of five municipal markets.
one for each borough, which are ex-
pected to reduce the profits of the
commission men by selling direct to
the retailer. What the Chicago COM
mission will recommend ,Ne are not
advised, but the inference is that steps
will be taken TO reduce the number
OF retailers. What effect this will
have is incomprehensible.
These expensive Investigations have
really accomplished nothing beyond
suggesting experiments. which is
pretty good evidence that the root of
the matter has not been reached and
forces the conclusion that until it is
nothing will be accomplished.
The impression is growing. we think,
that the root Of the problem lies be-
yond the forced regulation of dealers,
wholesale and retail, and rests largely
with the consumer himself. who has
become exclusively consumer as far
as food products are concerned. and a
chronic buyer of everything that goes
TO market The manner in which the
consumer lives is the principal cause
of the existence Of this impression.
And how does the consumer live
speaking now of the average? He lives
III the grocery, the bakery and the
meat market The grocery is indis-
pensable to him because his household
produces nothing in the way Of food
and is not forehanded enough to lay
in supplies purchased direct from the
producer The bakery is equally in
dispensable because the art of baking
is p lost one Il many homes. People
20 TO the bakery and buy the bread,
cake and pie they consume. The mar
ket is indispensable for the same rea-
sons TO some extent and because the
consumer has cultivated the idea that
he must have meat every day and III
many cases two or three times "a day.
More than this the grocery, bakery
and market habit is a growing habit
and the expense increases with il. To
buy is so much easier than TO adapt,
TO make, TO bake or to deny that the
natural tendency is TO indulge in it TO
excess. The consumer buys in larger
quantities and greater varieties than
is needful because il is easy.
II this is true, and we believe it is,
the Consumer has the solution Of the
problem of the high cost of living in
his own hands. BY producing more
at nome and by curling the appetite
for axtravagancies in the way of va
rl6ties the consumer will find his living
is not costing him much. if any, more
than it did before we began TO talk
about the high cost Of living.
IL short, the high cost Of living is
largely a mental condition, a state of
mind OF which the consumer can re-
lieve himself by taking the proper
course.

MIR. BRYAN's "REsIGNATION"

= - n
Secretary Bryan has again been
compelled TO deny rumors that there
is dissatisfaction in the presidents Of
fetal family and that he intends TO
surrender his place in the cabinet as
secretary of state.
And the question arises. why
should he resign?"
Ii is we'll known that Mr.. Bryan is
a worldwide champion of peace, that
he deplT-es war and its attendant
horrors and has bent his energies for
many years to bringing about peace
among the nations.
But SO is every right thinking, clean
minded man.
War under any circumstances is a
heart breaking, sorry business, bring
ing desolatiOn TO hundreds of homes,
plunging its vOtaries deep into debt
and leaving indelible marks OF its
progress liz it's wake.
Mr.. Bryan's devotion to the cause OF
peace is 10 be commended and he
should have the sympathy and aid of
US al in bringing about the ideals
he strives for.
But Mr.. Bryan has not allowed his
adherence for war to interfere with
his patriotism. He has not allowed
his reluctance TO plunge headlong into
/ the midst OF battle with the nations
armies 10 blind his eyes 10 indignities
heaped upon our flag.
Secretary Bryan has shown himself
in full accord with the program that
I has been mapped out by President
/ Wilson and the other administration
/ leaders. There is no disposition 10
withdraw from the critical situation
which now confronts the United
| States with a single blot upon its
! honor
Nr. Bryan will remain at his post
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-05-02

and will conduct himself as a patriot
and a statesman.
1t must be remembered that the
stories of his resignation emanate
from the same source that demanded
war when the leaders sought to bring
about honorable peace and viciously
attacked them when the first armed
demonstration was undertaken. 1t is
that source which places politics"
above observation-disclosures Dispatch.

Why Taft 'Aint Where He Ought 4

And Teddy? He just up and raved
And said he'd bet good money
That Taft wouldn't feel the cushioned
chair
Unless he got there funny.
He took his moose outside the hall
And whispered in its ear
Now run away and don't show up
Till word from me you hear"
Then Teddy went and advertised
A big reward he'd lose
To any man who'd be a man
And bring him back his moose.
And that's why on election day
So many votes were wanting
The men who didn't for Wilson vote
For Teddy's moose were hunting.
And that's why Woody hung his hat
Upon the white house peg
And sat upon the cushioned chair
And laughed and slapped his leg.

He couldn't for Teddy's ruse.

Rome is busy with a campaign to
elect a new mayor in his place. Two
princes competition ProsperO Co
lonna, the candidate of the cOnserva-

candidate of the more radical ele-
ment.
Owing to the changes of the past
generation in the Italian capital real
Romans are rare. Signor Nothan
was English by birth, Italian by ma

the Roman sense. But the old his
tOrical families are asserting them

is said, seems willing to accept a
municipal head from that quarter

candidate, is democratic.
