THINK OF CONDITIONS
(By Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois)
Four years ago our Democratic friends
made certain direct and specific promises
to the wage earners of this country. They
promised the men who work in the mills,
in the mines, in the factories, and on the
farms-the men who earn their bread in
the sweat of their brows-that if they were
successful in wrestling control Of the Gov
ernment from the Republican Party they
would place upon the statute books certain
economic laws which would bring ncreas-
ed prosperity to every American home and
to every American fresde. Has that prom
ise been kept? Has the Underwood Demo-
jury to the wage Garner, Has it increased
or decreased his opportunities for employ
ment? Has it directly or indirectly been
the means of establishing single new in
dustry in any State in this Union? Has it
created market anywhere within the con-
fines of the Republic for the only commod
ity that the workngman has to sell, name
no! From the day that the Underwood tar
if law went into effect on October 49, 1913
until the spring of 1915, when we first be-
gan to feel the stimulating effect of the
tremendous orders for European war sup
plies, complete industrial paralysis rested
like blight upon every part of our COM
mon country. Starvation and stagnation
confronted us on all sides. The mines quit
working the mills and factories closed
their doors, and across their silent and
smokeless chimneys was written the cpl
taph, "Ded of an overdose of the Under
wood bill" Applause on the Republican
sde.]
half million men in New York alone
were compelled to patronize the bread
line, and 100000 in the city of Chicago
daily visits to that one institution that al
ways springs into existence under Demo-
cratic administration, the free soup house.
Every railroad sidetrack in this country
was filled with long strings Of empty
freight cars, and the rabbits built their
nests and bred their young in the weeds
that covered the roadbeds.
leaps and bounds and there was as much
ioy and rejoicing among the manufacturers
of Europe as there was gloom and despair
among the manufacturers of America. Our
custom revenues fell off, wages were cut,
dividends were passed. bank clearings de-
creased, credit was destroyed, and failure
became the order of the day. Compared
with the last year of a Republican admin
istration the gross earnings of the rail-
roads alone fell off more than Az per .
cent in the first year of the Wilson admin
istration and iron productions decreased
more than 25 per cent. The steel mills of
this country were reduced to 40 per cent
of their normal capacity, two-ffths Of all
the looms in our woolen mills were idle,
and 100000 900 of capital invested in cot
ton mills became unproductive, while the
importation of cotton cloth from abroad
almost doubled in quantity.

For Mothers

The physical development of chill
dren is essentially the product of
three factors: Inheritance, environ
ment and food. The first is impOs-
s'bIe to remedy except by better
n arriage laws; the second depends
upon relation of several factors
working together in the community
the home. the city or town and the
state. The third, food, is a factor
especially important. and Is largely
under the control of the mother.
Children that are not breast red
should have the most careful super
vision in their feeding.
Bv means of a table which is
based on the mortality of 44,226
deaths i'm the first year of life IN
four of the largest cities in the
United States, mothers are SHOWN
that acute gastro-intestinal diseases
head the list of causes of infant NOR
taIitv with a record of rs per cent.
The majority Of these deaths are
due TO improper feeding. Second
come Marasmus, prematurlty, with
25 per cent This is infrequently
due TO faulty feeding. 1t is safe TO
saw that at least 40 per cent or
deaths in the first year of child
hood is due to faulty and improper
feeding.
There is no more promising field
in the practice of medicine than the
prevention of the mortality of in
fants by first removing the causes
which interfere with development
and growth. This can be done
largely by educating the general
public 10 the fundamental principles
of feeding and hygiene.
Proper Clothing.
Not enough attention is paid to
proper clothing. Clothing should
never be tight about any part or
the body Clothing should always
be adapted to season and climate.
\ baby is comfortably dressed when
lis clothing is warm enough with
out being too warm. If he is too
warm. he baby will perspire: If not
warm enough. he Will have cold
hands or feet. or become blue around
the mouth. Little babies need 10 be
kept warm and gradually aecus-
toned TO cooler conditions; but
older babies are often overdressed.
A baby that is continually dressed
in clothing which is too warm, be-
comes pale and languid. and instead
Of being protected. is liable 10 colds
and bowel troubles. The mother
should seel OF the baby's body oc-
casionally. and If she finds it con-
stantlv moist. the clothing is too
warm. The clothing must be soft
and smooth SO that the tender skin
is not irritated. and finally 1t must
