About Water Gas,

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Your news item relative to the
change in the making of gas here was
read with considerable interest by
the writer.
Yes, I have noticed change-quite
change, in the past few days, both
at the house and place of business. 1t
has been difficult to get the gas to
burn at all at the house, both in the
stove and lighting fixtures, but by
nursing it little have managed to
get along. At the place of business
there has been no trouble in getting it
to burn, but to get the same result has
required forty minutes where thirty
minutes has always been time suff1'
cient.
1t Is quite probable that this answer
to your inquiry is not what you ex
pected. but it would seem that an ex

SOME AMERICAN "FIRsTs."

Not in a spirit of boasting or vain.
glorious pride, but thankfully and
with due realization of the RESPONSE
bilities involved in such power ana
such an exalted position, it Is com
Portable for Americans to recall Few
OF the solid facts about their coun'
try's place among the nations OF the
earth. The plain truth is impressive
in the highest degree, says the Bur-
lington Gazette.
This country stands first in coal,
iron, steel, copper and petroleum. IT
leads all other nations in the produc-
ton OF wheat corn, oats and all
cereals taken together. 1t produces
more cotton than all the rest OF the
world. 1t stands first in tobacco, nrst
in cattle, first in swine.
The United States has more than
half of all the telephones In the
world. 1t surpasses any other SIX
countries taken together in railway
mileage. 1t outclasses any other ma
ton in internal commerce, In manu-
features and in the total value of Its
agricultural products. This is by far
the richest country in the world. 1t
stands first in savings bank deposits
and in the business of banks or all
kinds.
No other nation is In the same
rank with the American republic IN
the number of automobiles manufac-
tured or owned and used. This coun.
try far exceeds all the countries OF
Europe taken together in respect to
motor vehicles. 1t leads all of Europe
in the length OF railroads operated.
The United States has more chill
dren in school than any other nation
in the world and more young men
and young women in colleges and uni
versities. No other country buys and
reads so many newspapers. The
United States is first Of all the ma
lions in the number Of inventions
patented.
Such power, wealth and resources
involve vast responsibilities. Such
leadership in material things calls for
like eminence in the finer life of ma
tons The facts stated and many
others of like nature ought to sober
the American people with the sense
OF tremendous obligations and far
reaching duties. But it is comfort
able, none the less, to know that the
greatest republic of the world Is in so
many and such impressive ways also
the greatest of the nations. Strength
demands much, but it is far better
than the limitations of weakness.

JusrIcE EMLIN MccLAIN.

Few names are written more IN
delibly in the legal annals of the state
Of Iowa than that of Justice Emlin
McClain. who died suddenly at his
home in Iowa City Tuesday.
AS author OF McClains Annotated
Statutes of Iowa, which was published
in 1880 and thereupon became an IN
dispensable volume in every law ohce
in Iowa, and annotator of the ne"
code which was published by the state
in 1897, he put the entire legal frater-
nifty of the state in his everlasting
debt, says the Sioux City Journal.
Justice McClain was essentially
student and a scholar He came hon
estlv by his inclinations, his father
having been an educator before him.
That he was possessed OF unusual
mental attachments was proved early
in life when at the age Of Is. after
having picked up an education as
best he could at home on a farm. he
tentered the State University at Iowa
City. and secured the degree of Ph.
B. at the age Of 90 adding the de-
gree of LII. B. at %.
Young McClain was loyal to his
alma mater In 1881 he was appoint
ed to a professorship in the law de
,
chanceIlor, and in 1890 he was made
chancellor. Hundreds Of graduates OF
the university law school, who today
are engaged in prosperous practice
credit much of their success to the in
spiration they received through con
,, tact with this exceptional man in the
classroom. In 1913, after servins
twelve years on the supreme bench
he became professor of law at Stan
y ford university in California, but hi

resistible and returned to Iowa to be

A mother may shield her baby
from suffering and illness IN many
ways, Her wise and loving care Is
never so invaluabl as in the hrst
year of the baby's life In this coun-
try thousands of babies under one
year Of age die during the summer
because mothers who love them 90
not know how to take care OF them.
No other one thing mother can 90
for her baby means more to him than
to feed him ut her own breast. Babies
who are fed entirely at the breast
usually do not have diarrhea, unless
overfed, but bottle-fed babies are very
likely to have this trouble, even II
their milk is carefully prepared, This
Is true at all seasons of the year, but
1t is especially important In summer
when the heat and flies make bottle
feeding so dangerous.
The mother knows that II she gives
her baby the breast she Is giving
him
1. Pure milk-never sour.
9. Fresh milk, made and used as
needed.
s.. Milk of the same temperature
throughout the feeding.
4. And, most important, milk made
especially for and especially adapted
to the needs of the baby.
II she feds him a bottle, she Is not
sure of any of these things, for in no
way can cows milk be made as good
as breast milk.
A mother can usually nurse her
baby II she has been properly cared
for before the baby's birth and at the
time Of birth, and no mother who
wants to give her baby a good start
will consent to deprive him Of breast
milk, at least during the first few
months of life.
After the mothers milk comes,
usually on the third day, the baby
may be nursed every three hours. at
G and a. M, at - noon, and at 3, 6
and p. M, with one feeding during
the night. On the four-hour plan the
nursing will come at and 10 a. M,
and 2, and 10 p. m. In the inter-
walls she should give him little wat
err which has first been boiled and
cooled.
When the baby is four months old
he should no longer be nursed at
night, and at six months the mother
should begin to lengthen the time be-
tween feelings quarter Of an hour
each week until the length Of time
between musings is four hours. II
the milk is plentiful, the breasts
should be nursed alternately, but it
may be necessary to give both breasts
at one feeding in order to satisfy the
baby. The baby requires no other
food, save breast milk and drinking

rections for this kind Of feeding as
we'll as for weaving and artificial
feeding.

food and she should try to find out
what Is causing the trouble.
Fat, greasy and fried foods, SUCH
as doughnuts, pancakes, baked beans
pies. heavy buildings, and dumplinss,
and insuffictently cooked cereals, are
among the foods that may cause IN
digestion.
Fresh, well-cooked vegetables, good
soups, bread and butter. milk, eggs,
meat. fish, poultry, and fruits should
form the principal part OF the diet or
a nursing mother. All good food IS
Matchmaking food. It Is better to do
without tea or coffee, unless the
mother has always been accustomed
to them. II so, she should cut down
the amount to one cup OF each drink
per day. Cocoa may be used IN mod
crate quantities, but milk, both sweet
and buttermilk, and plenty OF colo
pure water, are the best drinks for
the nursing mother.
The nursing mother should have
plenty of sleep at night, and should
learn to relax and rest whenever the
baby nurses. AS far as possible she
should be relieved of the heaviest
part OF the household work, because
if she is tired and worn the baby Will
not thrive as he should.
The nursing mother should have q
full movement of the bowels every
day, but should not use medicine to
induce an action unless absolutely
necessary. Ripe, raw fruits, stewed
rhubarb and prunes and well-cooked
oatmeal and other cereals are laxa-
tive. Graham and bran breads are
most useful in constipation.
To keep the breasts from becoming
sore, they should be washed with
warm water and good CASTLE soap
every night and after each nursing.
For a few weeks before the baby Is
born the nipples should be washed In
this way every night, and covered
with vaseline.-U. S. Department of
