The Second Summer.

A widespread and deep-rooted belief
prevails among mothers that the 'second
summer l. an especially p%erilous time for
the baby, and consequently, one To be
greatly feared.
The facts, however, do not support this
belief. Official figures show that abou:
five times as many babies die In the first
~ two-thirds Of the babies who die in the
first year of life die in the first three
months. These figures show conclusively,
therefore, that the great loss of infant life
takes place among very young babies, and
that if a baby has survived this early per
iod his chance of living To grow up is great
ly increased.
The reason the "second summer" has
acquired this partly undeserved reputa-
tion for danger lies very largely in the fact
mothers make many mistakes in feeding
ii baby after he Is weaned and before his
digestion i able to deal with ordinary fam
lily meals.
The fear of the se~condsummer results
also from the fact that the baby l. getting

\ third reason why the second summer
makes babies sick applies equally TO the
first summer. that l., the excessive heat
affects them both directly and indirectly.

DR. WEHbERG HELD
 ON TREASON CHARGE
First InStallment Of German Anti-
 AnneXatiOniSt Petition Printed

Paris, Sept. 22, 5:35 A. M.-The first installment of an anti-annexa- tionist petition issued by the German Bund Neues Vaterland is printed this morning by Humanite. The offices of the organization in Berlin are said to have been raided and one of the members Dr. Weinberg, arrested on a charge of treason. As published in Hunanite, the petition reads, in part, as follows: "The ideas expressed in the petition issued by the six econ- omic- associations contain redoubtable danger for the conclusion of a timely honorable peace and for the security of the German empire after peace is signed. Therefore, the Bund feels obliged to oppose the demands of the associations and ask the chancellor to stop their activities and disavow the objects of the war as therein set forth.
 The idea of weakening England and Russia until they become power less or even are annihilated is so childish as not to admit of serious discussion, as is shown clearly by the lesson of history. To fight for such an object, which cannot be attained, is pure madness. The propagation of this madness is dangerous because it makes difficult anything like lasting peace."
 Consider Various Territories.
 The petition next considers the va rious territories the economic asso- citations desired to have annexed, and this chapter closes with this declara- tion: East and west more than 13O,- 900 square kilometres Ca kilOmetre is two thirds of a mile) with more than sixteen million inhabitants would thus be annexed. What do the peti- tioners of the six associations imag- inc our relations would be with these men who would have to be subjected to German domination?'

COMMUNICATED,
The Saloon and the Working Man.


 The saloon draws it's heaviest pa tronage from the working classes. Into the saloon till, the working man freely drops his hard-earned coin. What does he get in return? why, he gets refreshment, new strength and energy fresh mbition; if warm he gets cooled off: if cold, he gets warmed up; his nerves are reinvigor- ated and made stcadier; his whole system is toned up and he is refitted for fresh tasks and larger duties.''
 A more .pernicious lie was never uttered It has been proved by actual tests that a man will do more work when he drinks. water than when he drinks beer, A man who drinks one glass of beer, the day on hich he drinks it, his general efficiency will be lowered, on an average of eight per cent. If he takes three glasses of beer a day, or it's eouivalent in light wine, for twelve days. his efficiency at the end of twelve days will be lowered from 25 to forty per cent, depending upon the temperament of the man and the nature of the work. He may think he is doing more work, but this only shows the evil of the drink.
 Beer or any alcoholic drink lowers a mans money-earning power and cuts down the benefit of his skill. It also cuts down his working capital by reducing his strength and power of endurance.
 The drink habit is a menace to the safety of the working man. More ac- cidents occur to working men on Monday and the day following a holi- day than on any other day in tho week simply because drinking men spend their Sundays and holidays booziag instead of resting.
 In place of being refreshed, man is exhausted by drink. His nerves, once steady, become shaky He loses the power to fix his attention on any thing definite. Instead of being care ful. he becomes careless and it is only a question of time before he has to step down to a lower job and lower pay and if not extremely care full, he is down and out
 But the evil effects of the drink habit are not confined to the working man and his job. The money he drops into the saloon till does not go to the grocer, the baker, butcher. clothier nor dry goods dealer. But these dealers are patient and kind

LANGUAGE F D R
THE F|L|P|NOS
is BIC PROBLEM
MORE THAN FIFTY NATIVE
LANGUAGES NOW SPOKEN
ON ISLANDS
(By Associated Prcss.)

Nlohonk Lake, N, Y, Oct. "a
"The Language Problem in the Phil
ippines," was one of the subjects of
discussion of the Lake Mohonk Con-
ference on the Indian and other de-
pendent peoples.
Gr. c. Everett Conant, professor of
Modern Languages in the University
of Chattanooga, who was formerly
government translator and interpret
er at Manila, said:
There are more than fifty native
languages of the Malay-Polynesian
Family spoken in the islands. The
majority of these languages are so
different from one another as to be
mutually unintelligible There is be-
sides an indefinitely large number of
local dialect varieties of speech,
many of which are rapidly becoming
extinct owing to the increasing inter-
tribal intercourses.
''Fully ninety per cent of the Phil
ippine Malays still speak their native
tongues in the home, The language
situation is therefore a real problem
A common medium of speech is es.
sential for the social, commercial and
| political unification Of the golyglot
peoples Of the islands. Before Amer
lean occupation the Spanish language
4 serven only to limited extent as
common language, as only a compar-
atively small number of the popula-
ticn had the opportunity to learn it.
"In recent years there has been
much talk of adopting Tagalog, the
! language of Manila and the sprround.
ing country, as the common language
of the islands, but very few OF the
SIX millions of non-Tagalogs arc in
favor Of the movement, for although
Tagalog is the speech of the capital,
it is spoken by less than one half as
many people as speak Bisaya (Visay-
an)
"The adoption of an artificial Ian
suage, like Esperanto, while advocat-
ed by few, has never been seriously
considered by the people as whole.
"Since the introduction Of the
American public school, the problem
Of common medium of speech has
rapidly been approaching solution.
While out of the school children
speak their native languages in the
! home, they use English in convers-
ing with children whose native lam
guage differs from their own. Thus,
while the indigenous yernaculars
will live on for many generations
perhaps for centuries English is

ture the lingua franca CT the entire
