ADDRESS BEFORE WOMEN
America viii Have Forgotten Tradt
ton if She Fights for Herself, Presh
dent Declares.

In an address welcoming the
Daughters OF the American ReVo
luton gathered in Washington
fer their annual congress, President
Wilson said that the only excuse
America ever can have for the asser
ton of ner physical force is that she
asserts it in behalf of humanity.
He was speaking OF the purpose OF
the republic-born to serve the rest
of the world just as much as Itself
and had Just said that the nation Will
have forgotten her traditions WAen
ever she fights merely Tor herselt un
der such circumstances as will sho"
that she has forgotten to fight Tor a..
mankind.
The president was enthusiastically
applauded. When he was introduced
by Mrs. William Cumming Story, pres
ident general of the organization, the
audience stood and rhecred, and many
Of the women waved American nag
He said:
"Tradition is a handsome thing IL
proportion as we live up to it. II we
fall away from the tradition OF the
fathers, we have di3honored them. II
we forget the tradition Of the fathers.
we have changed our character anu
we have lost an cid impulse; we nave
become unconscious CT the principe;
in which the life of the nation ita2l
is rooted and grounded. Therefore;
this organization undertook to keeE
those who fell under its influence con
stantly reminded of the circumstances
of the birth of this nation and OF the
significance of the birth OF this ma
ton. That significance was a very
singular significance. No other nation
was ever born into the world with the
purpose of serving the relief OF the
world just as much as it served 1t
self.
"The purpose of this nation was in
one sense to afford an asylum to men
Of all classes and kinds who desired
to be free and t. take part N the ad'
ministration of self-g0vernei com.
monwealth. 1t was founded in order
that men Of every sort sAoull have
proof given that q commonwealth oil
that sort was practicable, not Cnly, but
could win its standing Of distinction
and power among the nations OF the
world, and America will have forgot
ten her traditions Whoneve" uron any
occasion, sic fights mercy fer herself
under such circumstances as will show
that she has forgotten to fight for all
mankind. And the only excuse thai
America can ever have for the as
sertion of her physical force is that
she asserts it in behalf of the inter
est of humanity.
"Wha. a splendid thing it is to have
so singular a traditional tradition OF
unselfshness! When America ceases
to be unselfish, she will cease to be
America. When she fCrgets the ira
ditions of devotion to human rights
in general which gave spirit and i'm
pulse to her founders she will have
lost her title deeds to her own nation
ality
80 it is, to nv mind, very happy
circumstance that here in the capital
of the nation, in this hCipe OF your
own building, you Should meet every
year in order to keep bright the fires
that have always burned upon this
al:ar of devotion to human rights,
That is the title Of this society of dis
tinction and to Immortality"

CLUB OF % MISSOURI WRITER'S

Twenty-nine Missouri writer's are
now members of the Missouri Writers
Guild Each of these twenty-nine has
written either book or several books
or at least three magazine articls.
There are also ten associate members
persons who aspire to be writer's.
The Guild is just a year old, having
celebrated its birthday May of
Journalism Week at the University
of Missouri.
eve hope to enroll all Missouri
writers in the Guild,' said Lee Ship
pey of the Higginsville Jeffersonian,
who was elected president at the an
nual meeting. "The Guild is doing
some erstwhile things for Missouri
and for Missouri writer's. We hope to
inspire more interest in writing about
Missouri subjects. Our State is rich
in all kinds of literary material.
Through our organization we can give
beginners some of the advantages of
successful writer's experience.
There is no better training for
writing than that given by the School
of journalism, according to Mr.. Ship
pey. When w. H. Handy decided to
go into literary work several years
ago he took a special course in the
English department here. He is now
one of the most successful magazine
writers in the country.

A COUNTY TAKES STOCK"

Morgan county has practiced what,
has been preached everywhere but
seldom (if ever) put into practice
that of community taking stock
and finding itself!
This is not an investigation made
outside the county--it is an examir-
alton of every farm and home, made
exclusively by Morgan county folks.
The entire data and information
was collected by County School Su-
printendent Witten, assisted by all the
teachers and rural pupils of Morgan
county, and later edited and prepared
for publication by Mr.. w. L. Nelson.
This new step in country life liter
ature is entitled "a Rural Survey of
Morgan County, Missouri" and is

of Agriculture, at Columbia. Sent

cows MILK FOR BABY
BEST SUBSTITUTE FOOD

4
When it is necessary to feed ba-
by artifcially, what food should be Sc
lected? The market Is flooded with
so-called baby foods. Some of these
contain milk as constituent, and
some starchy and other materials
which are to be added to milk. The
milk foods are for the most part ex-
pensive and unnecessary. The others
do not, as rule, furnish satisfac-
tory food. Their use should be limit
ed to those exceptional cases in which
cows milk is not digested by the ba-
by, and even they should be adopted
only on the advice Of physician.
Condensed milk is often used, but
has many objections, says Dir. NJ. P.
Ravenel of the department of preven-
tive medicine of the University of
Missouri. Often the cream has been
removed, and in other specimens as
high as 40 per cent of sugar is added.
Frequently condensed milks are made
from poor milk. In such case they
contain insufficient nourishment. Those
made with sugar are apt to be indi-
gestible, and practically always make
fat babies who lack resistance and
who succumb easily to contagious di-
seases. Condensed milk should be
used only in emergencies, such as
travelling.
Modified cows milk is the best sub
stitute for mothers milk. A popular
notion is that it is best to feed a child
on the milk of a single COW. This is
4 mistake. Mixed milk is better.
Holstein and Ayrshires furnish the
best milk for artificial feeding. Milk
from Jerseys and Guernseys is apt to
be too rich in fat. The cows should
be healthy. Especially should they
ne free from tuberculosis. The barns
must be clean, and the utensils used
must be clean and sterile.
Certified milk is largely used in
titles for infant feeding and is the
hest. 1t is not, however, generally
available.
If pure milk is used, it may be
~iven to the infant raw, though it
should always be warmed to about
he BODY temperature. If there is
any doubt about the milk at all, it
should be pasteurized or sterilized.
is widely believed that infants fed
nasteuri1ed or sterilized milk are
apt to develop scurvy. Any tendency
this direction may, however, be cor
e"ted bv giving table spoon of
orange juice once daily. A properly
tsteurized milk destroys the germs
If all ordinary contagious diseases,
and children using it will not have
cholera infantum, dysentery, diarrheas
and wasting intestinal disorders.
Pasteurization is accomplished by
-aising the milk to a temperature of
las degrees and keeping it there for
thirty minutes. It is then rapidly
cooled, and must be kept cold until
entirely used. The subsequent hand
ing of pasteurized milk requires more
,areful attention than the handling
If raw milk. Pasteurization outfits
nay be obtained at almost any drug

ordinary covered tin bucket, in which
the bottles are placed, immersed up
