PANAMA CANAL COSTLY.

Panama, April 29.-The first
eight months of operation of the
Panama canal have not yielded
profit to the government nOtwith-
standing that traffic has been bet

of the European war From July
1, 1914, and ending March 1, 1915,
the canal showed a loss of $751;

chargeable to the high cost of op-
Grafton and maintenance. During
the period mentioned the canal

charge for operation and rnainte-

< a1l1- -...'s Care of the Baby in Summer

at this time and to prevent by every possible; means an attack. of summer idfarrhea. gff Z. sst .5s i.l.i
 1'he greatest safeguafd which the mother scah throw about her baby in the second summer is to. see that he has proper food, at regular inter vals in suitable quantities, and to keep him cool. A baby who is about 3 or 10 months at the beginning of sum- mer should, if possible, continue at the breast until September, because even two or three breast feedings a day may be enough to keep his di- festion in good order; and, ill case he becomes ill, to save his life. The breast milk should be supplemented with two or three bottles of COWS milk properly prepared, as directed in a former article in this series.
 In addition, some other food may be given, but it must always be le- membered that care in feeding the baby at this age is as important as in early infancy. Changes in the diet in summer should be made very cau- tiously. Only one new article of food should be added at a time. It should be given at first in very small quan- titles, and it's effect on the baby care fully watched meanwhile.
 If the baby vomits, belches gas, or shows looseness of the bowels, the food should be greatly lessened in quantity or taken away altogether until the disturbance subsidies.
 For baby from months to one year of age, the following food is recommended: Strained orange or prune juice may be given once a day after the baby is eight or nine months old, unless his bowels have a ten- dency to looseness; it should bs giv- en midway between feedings; for in- stance, if he is fed every four hours, the juice is given two hours after a bottle feeding or nursing It is best to begin with small amounts, say, two or three teaspoonfuls, and to in- crease slowly till one to three table spoonfuls are given daily.

July since the outbreak of the European War and let us take unto ourselves one great lesson that is appropriate in this season of national celebration.
 And the lesson is this:
 To be patriotic one should be thrifty.
 To be wasteful today is to be dsloyai to the best interests of our beloved nation. We are rapidly approaching a period in America when we shall have to be more thrifty. In fact we are even .low entering that era. War, with it's prodigious waste. is bringing home to us as never before the need of taking care of our every asset and resource. National thrift is built upon individual thrift. The nation, as such, can only be thrifty to the extent that you and are thrifty.
 So, on this day of thankfulness for the heritage of liberty that our fore fathers have given us. let us remember that posterity will hold us accountable for the deeds we do. We must arise to the crisis as nobly as did the Colonists of Old. Ours are different problems from theirs and they must be met in. a different way.

The Second Summer,

"A widespread and ,deep-rooted be- lief prevails among mothers that the "seeond shmfnef" is 4ah especially peri1ous time, for the baby and. con- seauentlg E.. one to be greatly feared.
 The facts, however, do not support this belief. Official figures show that about five times as many babies die in the first year of life as in the sec- ond and that nearly 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 in- fant life takes place among very young babies, and that if a baby has survived this early period his chance of living to grow up is greatly ln- creased.
 The reason the second summer has acquired this partly undeserved reputation for danger lies very large ly in the fact that babies are often made sick because mothers make many mistakes in feeding baby aft CT he is weaned and before his diges- tion is able to deal with ordinary family meals.
 The fear of the second summer re- suits also from the fact that the baby is getting his teeth at this time. Although the teething process some times is unjusly blamed for causing illness, babies are, no doubt, often upset by the pain of teethinb, and do, therefore, suffer more readily from mistakes in feeding.
 A third reason why the second summer makes babies sick applies equally to the first summer, that IS, the excessive heat affects them bad ly both directly and indirectly. Heat often spells the milk and makes it unfit for the baby's use. But even properly fled baby may be madessick when the weather is very hot. A long continued spell of extreme [ heat is very hard on babies of all ages. and the greatest care is needed ! to avoid every other cause Of illness

At nine months he may be given peer juice, beef tea, or plain mutton or chicken broth once day.
 At tell months he may have one to two tablespoonfuls Of cereal once a day. Cream of wheat or farina may be used, either of which should be cooked for at least three-euarters of an hour in double boiler.
 At ten months he may have a small piece of toast or Zwieback or a crust of bread to chew immediately after his midday feeding.
 At twelve months he may have cereal twice day If oatmeal is used 1t must be cooked for three hours and strained
 The following diet may be recorl- : mended for a child at 12 or 13 months.
 6 q. m.-Milk, S-10 ounces.
 $ a. m.-Orange juice, 1-3 table spoonfuIs.
 10 a. m.-Cereal, 1 tablespoonful with milk or stale bread and zwie- back with milk, 6 to ounces.
 : p. m.-Droth with stale bread, or Seef juice ounce with bread crumbs.
 D. m.-Same as 10 a. m.
 10 D. m.-Milk. 8 ounces.
 The principal requisite for success ful feeding is that only such simple food as mentioned above should he given. It is particlarly dangerous to give the baby Of this age tastes of the family meals, for if this is done the baby is pretty sure to be given food unsuited to his digestive organs, and also to have his taste spoiled for the simple diet which should satisfy him.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. STRAUS Prssi3srt American Society for 1hrIff

the foundation for future liberty ard enlightment. We in this crucial epoch must safeguard that inheritance. We, too, must lay a foundation for tho future America, and that foundation must be the thrift of the people.
 Here is an example of individual thrift that came to light in the recent car strike in Chicago:
 Henry Toberg, conductor on the Blue Island Ave. line, is said to be the richest street car employee in the world. The strike gave him his first vacation since the famous tie-up of the Chicago street car lines in 1887.
 Toberg's wealth is estimated by fellow workmen to be in the neighbor- hood of a quarter of million dollars. Early in his career after he had saved by dint of economy, sobriety and wise conservation of his funds, he bought stock in the street railway company. This was more than twenty years ago and now the dividends from this stock are said to be many times the amount of his annual wages. He owns other valuable stocks and bonds, has pur- chased hotel and other buildings along the line of the Blue Island Ave. car and his rent roll is said to be ,ip- ward of S, 900 a year.
 Now, if man in such position can,. in the beginning. save such an amount and eventually pile up a for tune by iudicious investments and wise living, surely it ought not to be so difficult thing for tho workers in stores and offices, whose weekly pay envelope is of fair size, to put away part at least of If.
 Early lessons of thrift helped Toberg toward success. He did not live above his means. His position, with it's as- sured salary, proved ample for his simple wants. and out of 1t he was able to save goodly sum regularly.

.lIIGHER PRICES FOR GOTIeN.

Looking over tho situation for theI next six weeks, we believe that higher prices are warranted, and that higher prices will be seen. This is the concluding statement oil an opinion sent out by Johnson, Storm &s company cotton, cotton zeed, oil and grain brokers of New York
 The situation of last year is review ed and compared with the outlook TOW. It is shown that the 16 million ba crop and carry over of l,oo9,ooo bales made total of more tdan 1732 million bales avsilable for the pres ant year; that the indicated vlsibie supply a the end of the currens se,sson will be "less than two million hales greater than last year, and the indicated crop almost four million bales smialler;;" that financial conal- lions are about normal now, whereas panic threatened last year; that we are buving back our securities from E,urope and prospects are that not only will we buy a large volume of our own securities back, but great many of their government bonds as well. A feeling Of confidence has re- turned that was almost impossible to conceive of during the fall of last year
 aWhat will we do with it?' IS question taat is answered by the cot ion men in this language:
 Unfortunately for those bearishis inclined, people still wear clothes ana the industries of the world still neea cotton with which to coIplete tneH ulsnufactured articles. 1t is now con- soryatively estimated that 2,aoo'eoo redes of cotton will be used for ani- munition purposes, and in this con- i,,nction. remember that when cotton is used for ammunition there IS one icud bang and it is gone. It ls not Ike a ward of siXty-siNty-ionr thtr goes on the merchants shelf and then is in tho household for several years until the r2gbag claims It. cotton used for ar intuition is like the rap- hit of the coniuTer-'' Now you see 1t ena now you don'ta When he war in Europe started, each Of the great nations had large supply Of ammu- nition, and during the early stages of the conflict there was very little new ammunition manufactured, but 1t is now being made on a isrger anu larger scale, and should 0-e war mr. happily last for another year it would not be at all improbable to have q cotton consumption of 50oe,00 bales for ammunition purposes.
 Considering also that little fertili' ger is being used by the cotton grow CTS: that tho weevil is at work ir many fields and that the tap root iS poor. it is found that conditions for : crop of 1a.402,S87 bales, as indicated by the government estimate on acre age, are not very promising. And St the cotton men believe that highel prices are warranted, and that highe
 prices will be seen.'
