A MILK STATION.
AT SETTLEMENT
Visiting Nurse Association De-
cides to Work With West
End Organization.
OBJECT TO AID THE BABIES
Food Will Be Scientifically Prepared
for Them and Kept on Ice
All the Time.

At called meeting of the Visiting
Nurse association held today the asso-
citation decided to cooperate with the
West End settlement in the esta blish-
ment of a milk station at the settle
ment. This movement has been con-
sidered for some time in connection
with the Child Welfare association and
the visiting nurses, Misses Flanagan
and Turnbull have been working hard
towards its realization. With the CO.
operation of the Visiting Nurse asso-
citation the movement should be sue
cess, and will eventually mean the
saving of the lives of many little ba-
bies.
At the milk station, which will be
established at once at the settlement,
the nurses will each day scientifically
prepare the food of the babies accord
ing to the prescription of the doctor
for each child, bottle it and place it on
ice, so 1t may be called for by some
member OF the family each day.
Enough food is prepared each day for
"a hours feeding, and it has been dem
onstrated where the plan has been car
ried out that the lives of many babies
are saved.
Not Charitable Association.
This will not be a charitable associa-
ton, but will be open to all who cSre
to take advantage of it, and will beg
conducted in much the same way as
tie child welfare bureau is now being
so successfully carried out.

Doubleday, Page & Co. have been
the first to take a step that will doubt
less be taken sooner or later by all
publishers. They have initiated a
moving picture department, under the
charge of Mrs. Alberta S. Eagan, which
will not only take care OF the problems
OF motion-picture rights for all their
books, but will also prepare scenarios
of novels for consideration by the pro-
ducing companies. The Importance of
the movies to novelists as a source OF
revenue is perhaps best illustrated by
the statement OF the G. W. Dillingham;
company that no fewer than eight
western stories by one of It's writer's,
William Macleod Raine, are to be

the company this afternoon made a
trip to the proposed location for the
plant at which time the plans were
discussed and the advisability of con.
ceding to the wishes of the concern
were considered.
The Illinois Oil company is now en-
gagged in the manufacture of barrels
for the shipping of various oils at its
plant on First avenue and Fifteenth
street.
In the new factory, however. cans
for shipping the oil will be made in
one. FIVE, 10 and Is gallon sizes. The
company now employs 40 men, but
with the new factory completed 100
men will be given work.
Will Be Huge Structure.
The new structure will be a large
one. II will be 160x3OO feet feet, con-
tructed OF steel and concrete with as
phalt flooring. The cost of the cree
ton of the building as estimated will
be about 100000. New and most mod
ern machinery, including hydraulic
presses, will be installed. These Will
cost in the neighborhOod of s50.0UU.
Barrels OF the type now made by the
company will be manufactured also.
Besides the Water street site the
company has under consideration 9th
er locations IN Rock Island. but seem
TO favor the one at the lower end of
town. According to Mr.. welch IL this
site cannot be secured the company
will then accept the invitation OF the
Davenport Commercial club and locate
n that city. where free land is offered.
Legality Questioned.
Mr.. WEIGH said: IF the council will
accede to our wishes and II they can
do so legally without a vote of the
people. we will in all probability To-
cate here. Our attorneys. however,
are not sure that the commissioners
can vacate the street without public
voice in the matter. and we do not care
TO 20 to the expense OF an election.
Then, again, we have not secured
the land. The Denkmann estate is in
control of the property we desire ana
then have TO get busy in getting the
property owned by the estate.
I'VE may not be able TO do so. but
we thought that Il would be better to
get the rights to the street first and
then the other property
I'VE have several other sites In
view here, but none seem available
as the price asked is too Nigh. We
plan TO spend not over $10.UvO for the
and. We would pay that much to

Berlin Press PessimIstIc.
BY G. F. STEWARD.

Correspondent London Daily News.
Rotterdam. Oct. 2.-There was q
wonderful transformation in the tone
Of the whole German press today. They
had articles obviously preparing the
public for great retreat In France.
An official message states that fighting
during the last few days has been con-
tinued with redoubled ardor around
Noyon, the action quickly taking on
unheard Of proportions. It continues:
1--WE may be forced to give up some
points OF little Importance, but the peo-
pie must reserve their judgment until
the result Of the combined operations
is known
This appeared in all the papers. The
yossische Zeitung says the Germans
are making superhuman efforts to
break through the lines of the allies.
and In all probability the fights of the
next few days will be decisive. The
allies, It proceeds, are retreating lit.
tie. but at the same time are under.
taking gigantic attack. with verdun
as a center.
The Berlinger Tageblatt more frank
ly suggests that the Germans are far
from having their own way and are in
q difficult position.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1914-10-10

Generally the action along the whole
battle front has entered upon a slower
and more deliberate stage. consistent
with the grave consequences that will
attach to any very important aggres-
sive movement by either army.
The allies have desisted from further
frontal attacks. except where large
supporting bodies Of fresh troops are
at hand to relieve the fatigued first line
fighters.
All along the line the allies are hus-
banding their effective fighting
strength for the final effort that shall
decide whether the right and left
wings of the invaders shall be able to
withdraw to new defensive line or
remain to face humiliation or sur
render.
