OF the Children's bureau, U. S depart
ment of labor, Washington, D. c.
The baby may not gain in weight
during the cutting, of his various dou-
bic teeth, but it is not a serious mat
ter to have the weight remain station
airy for a short time. The baby will
quickly regain the lost ground when
he is well again, and eating his fun
rations.
The mother should never allow anv-
one to persuade her to give the baby
patent medicines. such as soothing
Eyrups to relieve the pain of teething.
If they do relieve 1t they porbably con-
tain opium in some form, which is
much worse for the baby than the sui
fering. It is a safe rule never to give
mediicne OF any sort to a baby. save
that which is ordered by doctor.
Care Of the First Teeth.

make their appearance throughout life

n sponge is animal life.
4 n Sponges are among the most
wonderful and puzzling Of animals.
The sponge of our bathrooms is the
soft skeleton of one OF the species
Of this remarkable creature, which
represents one OF the very oldest forms
of life on our globe. having lasted
through successive geologic periods
for tens Of millions Of years, although
il belongs to an offshOot which has
led to nothing else"-that is to say
which has produced by evolution no
higher forms than itself
If YOU viii visit the American Mu-
scum of Natural History you Will see
specimens and models OF sponges that
win fill you with smazement and adj
miration by the intricate and beautiful
shapes and their delicate and varied
Golors.
living sponge is a kind Of cell
city If YOU can imagine thousands
OF Siamese twins all Joined into one
composite body you viii have an idea
of the kind Of multiplex animal that
q sponge is.
But OF course you must not drive the
comparison too far. A cell has life and
activity, but it has no organs like
higher and more complex animal.
''Sponges." says zoologist CJ. A. Thorn
sony. ARE living thickets in which
many small animals play hide and

Formerly many thought that sponges
were a kind of seaweed. They grow
attached to rocks, shells and other
objects in the water, and nearly all live
IL the sea. although there is a fresh
water species called spongilla. The
skeleton or framework of a sponge is

lime (Which constitutes the greater
part of our own bones): in other
species of silica a flinty substance; and
in still others, Of a horn-like material

DODGE CARS SERVE PUBLIC

The report of the department OF pub

department shows the Dodge Brothers

was the most economically driven car
in the department. The statistics in

ear was operated at the low cost OF ex-
aetly two cents per mile.
The FIVE Dodge Brothers cars used
in the department also are given sew
eral records which place them at the
top of the low maintenance records.
Not one of the 81 used in the depart
ment was run for the six months at a
lower cost per mile than any one OF
the FIVE Dodge Brothers cars. They also
showed the highest mileage, the lowest
expense on tires and the greatest mile
age per gallon of gasoline of any tour
ing car in the department.
Three of the Dodge cars were oper-
ated for the six months without any
expense on tires. On the other two cars

The report shows many interesting
comparisons of the maintenance cost
of automobiles which range in cost
from two cents a mile for the Dodge

of the heavy duty trucks.

MEXICAN SITUATION
DAILY GRowING WORSE

Instead of improving, as had been
boped. the Mexican situation is daily
growing worse and more complicated
The expedition that crossed the border
IN pursuit OF the bandit Villa has thus
far proved a failure and will probably
he recalled. The Mexican people, who
TO almost a man, are Villa sympathiz-
ers, are growing impatient over the
presence of United States troops n
are voeiferously demanding their with
drawal. In order to retain his shght
hold on his people C%arranza has been
compelled to side in with them in this
demand.
AS jaw Gould once remarked OF a
certain labor leader during a great
railroad strike. ''he is a king without
a sceptre," applies to Carranza. he
enters into negotiations and treaties
with foreign powers that he is power
less to enforce. 1t is probable that he
had nothing to do with the firing on
American soldiers at Parral by his
troops and the populace, but he is IN
no position to punish the offenders, as
he would not be upheld by popular
opinion.
1t is hard to predict what the out
come will be, but there should be some
method devised to protect the lives
and property of foreigners in Mexico.
If Carranza cannot do this, some one
of the numerous other leaders shouid
be given a try at it.

fairly well in Australia, which is not
a manufacturing country, the danger
of such action in a manufacturing
country like the United States would
be in reprisals from foreign competi-
tors, which would prohibit our market
ing any surplus abroad at less than the
price for which sold at home.
In a recent article in the New York
Annalist, DIR. II. G. Emery, former
chairman of the tariff board, said that
the real danger after the war is not
that European manufacturers will sell
goods in our market below their own
cost of production, but that they will
sell goods below our cost at home. In
this aspect of the case there would
seem to be one, and only one, solution
of the difficulty, and that is to pro-
vide rates of duty which will amply
protect American industries, a propo-
sition which is favored by many Dem.
ocrats but which their party leaders
refuse to adopt. 1t will remain for the
Republicans to solve this problem
when they come into power in 1917.

Debating the Shields ~waterpower bin
in the Senate, Mr.. Newlands tried
and succeeded-to demonstrate that
the Democratic majority in Congress
has persistently legislated in defiance
of the platform pledges of it's party.
This is not in the nature of news, nor
was it really Illuminating to the de-
bate. But it is refreshing to have an
eminent Democrat stand up in either
branch of Congress and admit it. The
Nevada statesman was not content
with showing that his party had vio-
lated the pledges Of its platform Of
four years ago, but he quoted from
earlier Democratic platforms to show
that violation of campaign pledges is
a Democratic habit. Fortunately, the
country has no intention of giving til,
Democrats further oppoi unity to dis
play their tendene. IN this direction.

SOME VERY OLD CORN
Placed In Cornerstone 81 Years Ago
And Is Still Well Preserved.

In 1854, when the cornerstone
for new court house was laid at
Camden, Tennessee, the father of
the late Col. Sam H. Davidson Of
this place deposited therein an ear
of corn. Not so very many years
ago, when this building was torn
away preparatory to the erection Of
a more modern court house, it was
found that this ear of corn was
well preserved, and it was forward
ed to Col. Davidson at Evening
Shade.
Some of this corn is now in the
possession of the family of Milton
Stokes, Mrs. Stokes being a daugh.
ter Of the late Col. Davidson. The
grain is yet quite we'll preserved, in
spite of the fact that it is 62 years
old and was deposited in the cor
nerstone of a building for very
many of these years.
