Why some people think law Is the
opposite OF justice and the supreme
court the impersonation of that par
ticular kind of legal technicality and
Journalism which Is the opposite or
equity, is again illustrated In a case
just handed down by that court. The
administrator for one Holbrook. q
bridge carpenter, was plaintiff against
the Norfolk & Western Railroad com
pany. The bridge carpenter was kill
ed by carelessness OF the railroad and
the lower court awarded verdict TO
his family OF $4,000. The supreme
court reversed this Judgment because
the lower court had said something to
the jury to the effect that the loss Of
a father by little children was not any
more serious than the loss of a father
by older children

Early In the war Lord Kitchener
had said that the struggle might last
three years. What seemed a mere
rough estimate becomes far more
significant examined by the few sta
tistics yet available, which show the
wastage OF war.
Thus IL seems fair TO estimate that
Germany has now in the field $1,000.
900 men, France 100000. Austria j.
900 900, Russia 100000. England at
no distant date will have 100000 on
the continent. Servia and Belgium
may be reckoned to have 100000.
Now as far as Russia Is concerned
her supply Of men Is for any ordi-
nary calculation inexhaustible. That
she can keep her European force at
100000 for three years, despite
battle losses Is hardly debatable. AS
to England, her ability to maintain
an army OF 100000 on the continent
and despite losses Is equally TO be
accepted. IL Is different with France.
Her available military population may
be reckcned at 100000. or this she
has already lost 100000 by death,
capture, disease or wounds. Half of
this number may be reckoned as per-
manently lost. At this rate. France
will be reduced at the opening Of the
third year OF war to 100000 With
her allies she will then have 5000, 900
men. But her losses In this year can
not be made good. save by the new
class coming to the colors in 1917
and levies from her colonies.

The Policeman Catch Baby"
Threat Spells Children

Ichild-submitting it TO all the dangers
OF infection.
The nurse girl may threaten the
baby with the policeman or with Inn
aginary hobgoblins.
This is very bad. Fear instilled
thus early in the tender mind OF a
child Is often almost impossible to
eradicate and may engender a per
manent timidity. A too rigid obedi-
ence TO the nurse on the baby's part
should always be viewed with sus-
picion as suggesting methods OF Sc
cret discipline.
From all of which considerations
1t follows that no mother should
neglect to investigate the character
Of the nursemaid she proposes to en-
gage.
Give the sun chance to protect
the baby from disease germs. Take
him into the parks or to the open
country as often as possible and stay
In the open as long as you can. Fresh
air and sunlight are even more i'm
portant to baby than to the grown
up.
