Baby Boosting Business

How much do you reckon baby's
life is worth in dollars and cents to
his mother? Don't try to reckon it
for it can't be done. And yet there
are thousands of babies dying each
year just because mothers do not
know how to feed and care for them
properly. In Wisconsin, alone, it is
stated on good authority that $500
lives could be saved each year by
proper feeding and care.
From the 10 to 81 of October dele
gates from all over the country will
be gathered in Milwaukee to struggle
with the problem of reducing the need
less slaughter of helpless infants.
Great medical specialists will confer
together and instruct one another in
ways and means of increasing the
chance of life and decreasing that of
death. Measles, whooping cough, and
infantile paralysis will receive special
attention.
consin will be the half day devoted to
the special problems of rural parents
because over half of this state is rural
in character. Supposedly, rural ba-
bies have had far better chances for
life and health than city babies. To a
great extent this has been a fond de-
fusion that cold blooded study of
facts doesn't quite warrant. Never
before in such meeting has so much
time, I think, been given to this sub
ject.
This meeting will be of direct per-
sonal value to you and to me because
it will teach us more about how to
care for our own babies. 1t will in
crease the knowledge of the physi-
clans of the state, also, concerning the
treatment and prevention of the dis
eases of infancy. We never know how
soon our baby's life may depend upon
the keenness and judgment of the
family physician.
Finally the attention of public Of
ficials, health officers, visiting nurses,
councilmen and the taxpayers them
selves will be arrested by the discus
sions and deliberations of these hard
working men and women who are de-
voting their lives to the beautiful Ia
Dor of smoothing the paths for tender
baby feet. No one can estimate what
value this may hold for the people of
the state. All in all, there will be
much for which to be grateful to our
distinguished visitors and to the local
committee which has been busy for q
year arranging for the meeting.

River Rally" Planned

Republicans of Minnesota are max
ing plans for a "river rally" to be
held either the week of October or
the week of October ID. Thomas
Frankson, who recently purchased the
steamer, Hiawatha, of which Captain
Knippenberg of this city is master,
originated the idea and has agreed to
furnish the boat.
The plan is to decorate the boat
with the Republican party emblem
and with flags, take band abroad,
and have many Republican candidates,
speakers and boosters. They intend
to spend two days on the river and
to visit all the cities and towns from
st. Paul to Winona, including Has
tings and Prescott.
If two days are to be spent on the
trip, a stop over night at Red Wing
will probably be made and a big even
ing rally held there.
The plan is a unique one and we be-
lieve that as campaigning idea it
can't be beat.-Prescott Tribune.

Pepin county takes its name from
Lake Pepin, an enlargement of the
Mississippi river well known to the
early explorers. Lake Pepin is one
of the oldest names on the map OF
Wisconsin, being found there as early
as the year 100. Probably it was
named for one of the companions OF
Duluth, the famous wood ranger,
whose name is now borne by Mime
sota's great lake port. One authority,
however, supposes Lake Pepin to have
been named for Pepin the Short, an
eighth century king of the Franks.
