PRIZE COURT TO SETTLE IT

OWNERS TO BE UNIDENTIFIED

LONDON, Feb 6.-Great Britain has
decided that II the American steamer
wilhelmina, now on its way with a
cargo of foodstuffs for Germany, is in
tercepted. its cargo will be submitted to
prize court, so that the new situation
arising out of the action of Germany
in ordering that all grain and flour shall
be placed under control of the govern
ment may be regularized. In a state
ment issued tonight the British foreign
office says:
''rhe new German decree makes IL evil

proceedings against the vessel and the
owners of the vessel will be Unidentified
for any delay caused to 1t, and the ship

There is no truth whatever in the

signments will be seized together with
the vessels without compensation to
neutrals, for no decision has yet been
taken to depart from previously existing
rules or practice"

hysterla IN children.
The young mother, although naturally
proud of her child, has plentiful lack of
knowledge of it's primary needs-rest,
food, and freedom from excitement. She
not only permits but she aids and abets
solicitous and admiring relatives and
friends to intrude upon the child's sleep
misunderstanding that little aggregation
of sensitive cells and tissue in the pursuit
of its chief business in life, which is sleep
and growth.
She encourages and participates in the
feminine riots that shock the youngster
out of it's normal condition of relaxation.
She dandles it, COOS to it, and otherwise
maltreats her innocent child until its
nerves become irritated, it's placidity
ruffled, and it's growth and nutrition
particularly the nutrition and nddevelopment
of its nervous system-become abnormal.
The consequence is that the baby ex-
hibits fits of temper mainly to
these nervous shocks-which shortly re-
suit in fretfulness, night terrors, unwilling

If it is then treated with mastery let

pernicious soothing syrups and other
slopes youngster will rarely ex,
hibit any abnormality.
1t will grow happy, healthy animal,
indulging in just sufficient crying to en-
able it to initiate and develop its little
lungs. 1t will sleep the innocent sleep
that knits up the travelled sleeve of care"
1t will coo and laugh from sheer joy of
living. 1t will be free from NERVES" and
will evolve into vigorous, untrammeled
boyhood or girlhood, credit to itself and
to the intelligence of the mother who bore
and trained it.
Therefore, nervousness in children is
largely dependent upon ignorance in
mothers. And the primary cure for the
condition involves more liberal educa-
ton of the mothers in those two para
mount and important sciences-mother-
craft and child culture.

Bond Experts Do Not Agree
on this Point
MISS L., PH1LADELPH1A.-No one can
AA say definitely whether the present
time or the period to follow the war will
prove the better in which to purchase
bonds. All the experts debate and dis
agree on the subject. The main point is to
find bond that is safe in itself and issued
by company not directly affected by the
war. There are many such to choose from.

sort of borderland, full of barbed-wire en-
tanglements and other obstacles, which
many persons are not fitted by nature to
surmOunt.
Are You Afraid of Risk
THE first difficulty is that most persons
do not know what they mean when
they use the word investment. If a man
buys stock in gold mine and it turns out
we'll, paying him perhaps 40 per cent. on
his money, he says it "has proved to be
a good investment. Then he also speaks
of 5 per cent. bond as conservative
investment" and in the next sentence
mourns an unsuccessful investment" he
made when he bought another gold mining
stock that never returned him single
penny. The trouble is that he mixes his
terms hopelessly.
When you employ your money to earn
more money, are you willing to take some
risk, in the hope of making great return,
and are you willing to go to a deal of pains
to investigate, or are you unwilling to do
either of these things? If you are unwill-
ing to take risks and unwilling to investi-
gate, you can invest safely, without trou-
BILE, and with only minimum chance of
loss, at 4, 5, and even 6 per cent. The
5 per cent. bond is absolutely different
from the per cent. investment. One
presupposes sort of distilled, impersonal,
almost abstract use of money; the other
requires training, experience, keen dis
elimination, and active personal interest,
added to the mere money itself.
8 Per Cent. on Your Money
IVES, you can get 8 per cent. if you are
willing to burrow deeply into PROPOSE
ton. But you can't get s per cent. by
investing money at random. In several
of the Western and Southern States mort
cages are to be had to pay 8 per cent;
but so high a rate necessitates an un-
usually careful inquiry. The proposition
may be safe, but the burden of proof is
upon it. Generally speaking, small, un-
known, and far-away enterprises pay high
rates, no matter where they are, East,
West, North, or South. The fact that
concern is new, small, and far away does
not prove it is unsafe by any means, but
it does require lot more investigation,
volved is worth to many people one or
two per cent on their money.
The stock market, using that word to
mean the great emporium for securities
that centers mainly in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago, but most con-
spicuously in New York, offers plenty of
per cent. opportunities, both in what are
called listed securities (those on the Stock
Exchange) and in the unlisted market.
But that rate of interest is combined with
safety only when the purchaser has the
courage of his convictions. His judgment
may be right, and often is; but it is prima-
rly has Judgment not the consensus of
opinion, firmly established by the course
of events, which timd people find so easy
to follow.
