rs STATE ASSET,

Every year more than 10000 persons
are killed within the borders of the
United States while walking on rail-
way tracks. In the eyes OF the law
they are tTespassers and have no re-
course against the railway company
which owns the right of way and has
the sole right to the use Of its tracks.
The trespasser takes his life in his
own hands when he ventures upon
such forbidden territory.
Up to the present time state and
federal governments have not seen fiji

venting this wanton waste OF life
They seem to have assumed that in
dividual liberty includes the liberty
to make reckless ventures upon dan
gerous ground. Their neglect has led
the trespassers, ii they give the mat

lives as their own and to believe that
they are not responsible to either God

THE TRUTH.

Every once in a while revolutionary
movements are started. Frequently
they are designed TO effect some great
reform
We are impressed with a movement
begun by some theorists in New York
who claim they are going to reform
the newspaper business by publishing
on Sundays a newspaper of their own
called The Truth
The preliminary announcement
made by the promoters Of Truth fol-
lows:
con Sunday, Jan. .. 1916. there will
appear for the first time a newspaper
to be known and to live up to the
high title Of The Truth This news
paper comes into existence because it
il needed II is needed because no
newspaper now In existence is devoted
to the task Of telling the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
To perform this essential service for
the people Of New York The Truth
will come into being
AT the outset The Truth is to be a
two~edition Sunday newspaper, the
first appearing early in the morning
and the second at 2 o'clock in the at
fernoon. The first edition will con
tain all the worthwhile news now
published by the other Sunday papers
and much that they suppress The
afternoon edition will give nearly all
the news that is contained in Monday
mornings papers.
'Au essential difference between
The Truth and the other Sunday pa
pers will be that The Truth will carry
very little advertising. This condition
| will exist for two sufficient reasons
In the first place, most advertisers
will not patronize really truthful pa
per, and in the second place there Is
very little truthful advertising to be
had Accordingly, The Truth, which
will live UP to its name both in its adj
vertisiug and in its news columns, will
give its readers meat accompanied by
very little advertising padding and
that little will be reliable in a degree
now quite unthought of by the news
papers Of New York
Newspaper publishers all over the
country voice vigorous amen The

late champions of truth deserve en-

Piles are struggling TO keep burning.

She sized it up and told him that
He looked a perfect sfmp.
1t was q round affair, high crowned,
With very narrow rim.
A gay drab band ran all around;
Ii made a kid of him.
She said: i hadn't heard that you'd
gone into vaudeville.
You look like a ribbon-counter dude,
That shreaks loud and shrill,"
Said pa, Il am no mosshack zap,
And you can bet your pile
I wear this fireworks thing, mayhap,
Because It is the style"
When mother got her new fall hat.
1t was a scream, a screech,
And father up and told her that
She looked burlesque peach.
1t was the durndest looking thing
That he had ever seen.
1t had a pink and yellow wing
And trimming that was green.

Intussusception in Babies.

In children under 5 years of age
an occasional accident which mothers
should be able to recognize is Slip
ping Of one portion of the bowel into
a portion farther along, imagination
or intussusception, as it is called, like
turning q glove finger inside out.
When this occurs it causes obstruo-
ton of the bowel Sometimes it cor
reefs itself spontaneously, but as a
rule immediate operation Is the only
life-saving remedy.
II might happen in perfectly
healthy child, but it seems to occur
more often among babies that have
some chronic digestive disturbance
and general poor health.
The baby suddenly begins to cry
hard. The legs are drawn up. Food
lis refused. II the child is old enough
he will point to a place in the aldo
men which pains. One boy aged
3 said a flea was biting him on the
right side of his abdomen, where the
intussusception was found. The alb
Edomen is very sensitive over the af-
fected place. Vomiting comes on and
continues obstinately X the bowels
act a little at first they soon become
completely INSTRUCTED, not even gas
escaping. The vonlited material is
first food. then bile-strained LIQUID.
finally very dark and offensive fluid.
Blod-strained mucus or slime" is
generally passed from the bowel at
the beginning, and this is a very sug-
gestive sign OF intussusception, espe-
cially when considered in connection
with the other symptoms mentioned.
Now the doctor makes a diagnosis
Iof intussusception by feeling a sau-
sage-shaped, slightly curved mass In
the region affected Mothers familiar
with the signs of intussusception have
irecognized the condition more than

Henry Ford, self-made master Of
millions, humanitarian, thinker, inter-
viewed on the steps of his private car
as the train bearing it was rushing
eastward from Chicago, outlined for
the Herald yesterday his ideas on
war, preparedness, charity, capitalism
and host of other problems
Mr.. Ford's answers to the questions
asked we're sharp and short as an
lmprecation. Mr.. Ford is never in
doubt, he never hesitates, never
reaches out for beauty Of phrase or
nicely of expression. His opinions
give the impression Of having been
nailed down and the nails clinched on
the other side.
PalpabIy exasperatingly impatient
with war, determined that it is evil,
unnecessary and futile, he assailed
not only war itself but the suggestion
of it, the talk" of it, the preparedness
which he says leads to it. the fgnor-
ance" which makes men follow It,
81 tell you" he said. his keen, in
tense eyes shaping and his jaws cut
lting off the words almost before they
were uttered, that preparedness leads
to war, causes it, dares it, urges it on.
A nation fully prepared is nation
| inviting, impIoring, seeking war. II Is
nation sTutting with chip on its
shoulder, doomed to the very thing it
/ pretends to seek to avoid"
| Asked if he did not believe that the
sentiment for preparedness was
spreading throughout the country, MIR.
Ford admitted that it was, but insist
ed that It was 'transitory and doomed
to ultimate abandonment"
