An Amazing Fact.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, appears
the first of a series Of articles on
hog cholera in which there are many
facts and suggestions of great in
terest to the public and OF value to
producers. The author says that
when a disease like the foot and
mouth disease comes along we get
alarmed and do something. He says
that in the case of hog cholera,
however, we sit idly by and let it
take its toll, amounting lin 1879 to
40 pounds of meat for every family
in the United States. This is GER
tainly an amazing fact, well worth
the attention of the country.

CARE OF CHILDREN.
Government Publication Tells How
the Baby Should be Reared.

Infant Care is the title Of a
pamphlet just issued by the Chill
| drens Bureau. of the United States
Department of Labor. It is the sec
ond Of a series of popular pamphlets
/ TOR the use OF mothers en- the Re
of children. The new publication
/ takes the baby from birth through
| its second year, dealing with such
questions as feeding, clothing, bath
ing, sleep and exercise, or in other
| words, with the questions which
all mothers must face, sooner or
later, in the care of the baby. The
book is written in simple, non-techni-
cal language, easily understood by
the average American mother. Spe
cial mentigAa is made, also, of the
care of anerjsan babies in the
tropics. con Nnls 81 pages, is i
lustrated th evnumber of plates
and pictur6, ana includes an appen-
dix and a useful index The ap-
pendix gives a list of other govern
ment publications regarding matters
of domestic economy, such as milk,
foods, home sanitation, and other
subjects of Importance in the work
of making the home suitable for
the rearing of children
The pamphlet will not, of course,
take the place of the advice of a
physician, but it includes a section
on how to keep the baby well, which
describes the minor ailments of baby
hood and the symptoms indicating
the onset of more serious illness.
Special emphasis is placed on the
danger to infants of Whooping cough
and measles.
The pamphlet was prepared, under
the direction of Miss Julia Lathrop,
chief of the bureau, by Mrs. Max
West, who also prepared the pamphlet
on Prenatal Care . which was the
first Of the Care. of Children series.
Infant Care like all the other
publications of the bureau, may be OBJ
tanned free of charge by addressing

CONSIDER THESE FACTS.
A Few Reasons Why it Pays to Buy
from the Home Merchant.

What an easy taing it is to go
to the big town forty or fifty miles
away to do our trading. We read
an advertisement of bleached muslin
at 8 cents in the city. Ours home
dealer charges 10 cents and we
think he is a roBssr; SO We try the
great department store. When we
return home and figure the total
cost of our purchases we are disap-
pointed that it is considerably more
than the home dealers price for the
same goods.
We didn't consider that the city
price of ceats on this muslin was
a "leader' for that day. The loss
was made up on something else. On
ly New articles at a time go on
the bargain counter. They are trade
attractors." City people can take
advantage of these bargains every
day. Country people can not.
The country merchants prices are
nearly stationary. The price on
every article he sells includes a rea-
sonable, living profit Let's see how
these prices differ from those of
the city merchant. The city store
is in fine building on a paved
street. The store fixtures cost a
lot of money. The clerks are paid
$50 to $100 a month and more. Big
stocks are carried Heat, light, tax
es and interest charges add to the
expense. All this represents the cost
of doing business. It amounts to 20
to 35 per cent of the total business
of that store, and this percentage
must be added to the cost of every
article, and the Eig merchant must
have a net profit of 15f to 30 per
cent to protect him against losses.
Now consider the small town deal
er. He usually owns his budding.
Clerk hire is less; taxes, heat, light
and interest charges are less. His
cost of doing business is 12 to 18
Per cent, and he is satisfied with
net profit of 10 to IS per cent. The
country merchant buys a shoe. or a
hat for SLIGO and sells it for So.
The city department store must
charge $3.50 or more for the same
goods Or he will lose money. Why
not considaa these facts carefully
and give CIR hese dealer a chance
# we wislgIo tWHe where we can
get the mart fo4s our money? Roy

THE BLIGHT or WAR.
Misery and Devastation in Wake Of
Relentless Struggle.

In his own foreeful style, Irwin S.
Cobb, of the Saturday Evening Post,
writing in the Red Cross Magazine
for January, tells Of the misery he
saw during his recent trip in the
European war zone. Speaking of
those made homeless and destitute
by the war, he says in part:
saw them ramping aimlessly
along winds ent
4 1 from ~ O 4 ana daVasE aE9d
villages saw them sleeping III
open fields upon the miry earth with
no cover and no shelter. saw them
herded together in the towns and
cities from which many Of them Ill
timately fled, existing God alone
knows how. saw them-ragge
furtive scareeroWs-p proWling in the
shattered ruins of their houses, seek
ing salvage where there was no sal
wage to be found. 1 saw them liv
ing like the beasts of the field, up
on such things as the beasts of the
field would reject. | saw them
standing in long lines waiting for
their poor share of the dole of a.
charity which already was nearly ex-
hausted. I saw their towns when
hardly one stone stood upon another
saw their abandoned farm lands
where the harvests rotted in the fur
rows and the fruit hung mildeWed
and ungathered upon the trees.
saw their cities where trade was
dead and credit was thing which
no longer existed. / saw them stag
gering from WEAKNESS and from the
weakness of hunger. I saw all these
sights repeated and multiplied in
finitely-yes, and magnified, too
but not once did see man or Wo-
man or even a child that wept or
cried out. 2
The horrors of war as portrayed by
Mr. Cobb are enough to startle a
hardened criminal. He tells of see
ing soldiers in tatters and streams
of wounded pouring back from the
front endlessly 1t is a strictly neu-
trail word picture he paints in the
interest of humanity in the future.
