BABY YEAR
Year 1916 Given to Study Of Con-
ditions Producing Better Babies

1916 is to be known as Baby
Year. The attention of the
whole United States will, accord
ing to a recent bulletin from the
National Children's Bureau, be
directed toward the baby, - to
study conditions affecting the
baby. This movement set to
work by the National Children's
Bureau at Washington, D. c.,
has for its real purpose the
strengthening of all activities
for saving babies lives and for
giving them better chance to
grow to a healthy maturity.
From March 4th to 11th, 1916,
will be known and observed
throughout the country as Baby
Week. During this week the
study of infant mortality will be
taken up with a view to decreHe-
ing the death rate through
Knowing and creatiug better
living conditions for babies. The
fact that 100000 American babies
die every year before they are
twelve months old, shows that
something is wrong with condi-
tons and that it is the parents
responsibility to study conditions
and know better how to care for
their babies. /
Two thousand of the 800, 900 !

one year of age" says the State
Board of Health, are North
Carolina Babies. In other words,

tress of the Sea had swept it's sur
face clear of merchant marauders, up
hobs this apparition. Like the feats
of the Emden, the destruction to
British commerce by the Moewe are
unique in maritime annals.
Our admiration is not lessened at

or not. That is merely the after.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE SOUL.

Mollie Fancher OF Brooklyn, the
most famous invalid in the world, eel
ebrated her sixty.eighth birthday yes.
terday.
Fifty of them have been spent in
bed. Not a day has passed without
its eXcruciating pain. She calls it
her Golden Jubilee and has sent
out invitations to her friends to come
and rejoice with her that, despite the
Affections of the body, her soul is
unconquered and uncomfortable.
Jobs misery was mild in COMPARE
son to hers. Yet Job cursed the day
he was born.
Mollie Fancher went to bed strick-
en- by paralysis in 1866 and her life
has been benediction ever since.
Picture returning to your bed in
health tonight and remaining there
until 1866 Imagine your body i'm
prisoned there for fifty years without
pain, without want or without sorrow.
That idea alone makes the flesh
creep and chills the spinal column.
Eut crowd into those fifty years in
tense pain, loneliness and sorrow
made doubly tragic by physical af-
fiction.
Then you have some conception of
the battle of Mollie Fancher, who on
her sixty-eighth birthday is not com.
planning but thanking her Creator for
an unconquerable soul.
Her story must be an inspiration to
others upon beds of pain, waiting for
that inscrutable force to end their
suffering.
Stricken by an accident at the age
of eighteen. she has supplied her own
wants through the aid of nimble fin.
gers that fashioned wax flowers.
In her anniversary of pain and suf.
fering, she presents smiling face to
the world. This is her message to
mankind:
Consider my life of suffering and
be patient when tried by your 'puny'
woes.'

LOCAL WEATHER. BULLETIN.
MERE TWADDCE.

New Rockford will have to advance
something more substantial than the
morality issue in support Of he: con-
test for the state capital. Granting
as true all that has been said against
Bismarck by her detractors, what
guarantee has New Rockford given
the voters that it will maintain its
pristine purity when the terrible in.
iiuences" that beset Bismarck are
transferred to it's sacred precincts?
OF course, if the Eddy county town
is seeking to redeem Bismarck by de-
priving her of the seat of govern.
ment, it is an instance of altruism
unparalleled in the history Of North
Dakota.
Human nature is about the same
everywhere. Individuals conduct
themselves the same in Bismarck as
in New Rockford. Each city has it's
saints and it's sinners Political para.
sites beset every capital in the world.
Every county seat, for that matter,
has its types of political manipulat.
ors. .
But these characters are the first
to move when a seat Of government is
shifted They have no special loyal
ty to Bismarck. nor are they repre-.
sentative OF her citizenship, II New
Rockford or any other city were the
capital, they would find /, as congen-
ial for their calling.
The good and the bad are mixed
everywhere North Dakota's cities,
towns and villages generally speak
ing are exceptionally clean and free
from vice. Bismarck is probably NJ
better and it is certainly no worse
than any other city of it's size in
North Dakota. AS matter of fact.
the Tribune could name several cit
les much smaller than Bismarck who
travel a faster pace when it comes
to infringement of the prohibition
laws.
1t is just as we'll to dismiss tue
morality issue early in this campaign,
for no voter is stupid enough to be-
lieve that the state will enter po-
litical millennium when the seat of
government is moved from the banks
Of the Missouri river.
New Rockford must seek more ten
able ground.
