Connecticut Takes the Initiative.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
National guardsmen who are serving on
the border have wondered whether or not
they viii bo permitted to vote in the
coming state elections.
1t has remained for Governor Eolcomb.
of Connecticut to take the initiative. He
| has called a special session of the state
legislature Tor the specific purpose Of
enacting a law which will permit mem
bers of the national guard of the state Of
Grande, to vote in the November election,
which practically gives an opportunity of
demonstrating the political machine of
the state
There is q precedent for such proceed
ings. In the civil war the men who We're
detained from home in military service
were entitled to vote, and black ballots
/ were furnished for the purpose. These
ballots We're marked and were returned to
the secretary of state.
This is only right. Because man sees
tit to risk his life for the nations honor
when it is at stake is no reason why he

pursuits, this man would vote for the
man of his choice in the state and civic
acceptable because OF his allegiance to the
nation. and Governor Holcomb is exactly
right in calling the Connecticut legislature
| together in special session in order that
the boys at the front, who can not come
| home may have a right to vote for the
| candidates of their choice.

Fine Expression.

In n review of a novel we come
across this suggestive sentence: "Here
too, characters that transmute COM
mon things into gold by the alchemy Of,
the spirit" The finest thought of the
day is expressed by that modest SEN
tence. The great problem in religion,
education, business, politics, and So
ciety concerns itself with that trans
mutation. 1t suggests finer life than
one gets out of the materialism Of the
age, with it's luxury, pleasure, selfish
ness, i'll will, spite, and overreaching.
The evolution Of the day is toward the
sanctitication of everyday experience
and infusing heroism into common life
That is what must eventually happen
If humanity ever gets to be what it
should be. 1t is long way to that
end, longer, perhaps, than from the
monad to man, as Emerson expresses
1T, but thither the evolution proceeds.

PROPRIETARY BABY FOODS.

For years physicians have denounced
the baby foods as a class. In splte u
the denunciation they have continued
to sell. In fact, there is a STEADY
growth in the use of baby foods.
For years the manufacturers have
made use Of printers ink to eAploll
baby foods. Books filled with rosy
claims are reinforced by thousands OF
testimonials from satisfied parents anu
illustrated by beautiful pictures OF
dimpled babies. In spite of all this eff
fort the use of baby foods has not be
come universal, nor is it materially
greater than it was a few years aso.
Kerley says: "Hysterlc condemna :
ton Of the proprietary infants foods IS
unjust" Shortly afterwards he follows
of photographs Of growing, fat, red
checked babies to illustrate the sup
posed virtues of this or that manufac-
turer's food, composed principally OF
maltese, is not very high minded pro
Queer, who thus stoops to steal the
credit which belongs to a cow
Very close, careful, feeding STUDIES
made at the University of Illinois have
shown that certain OF the infant FOODS
not only contain all the elements need
ed for growth, but that animals fed on
these foods will grow, thrive, mature
normally, and propagate their kind
Some of the foods are intended to be
used without milk Such foods are
made from dried milk with the add
ton of some cereal or food made tTpm
q cereal The advantage of such foods
is that they keep well, they neither re-
uuire ice nor an ice box: they can be
had through ordinary grocery stores or
drug stores. The baby fed on such
foods is not closely tied to u rather
fixed basis of supplies.
The disadvantages are: They have
been cooked, they are deficient in fats,
and many Of them are not properly bal
anced chemically for a baby food. The
worst Of them, however, are better bal
anced than is sweetened condensed
milk.
The disadvantages can be overcome
by giving the baby, in addition to his
infant food, some orange Juice. prUnc
juice, or other fruit juse some butter
some meat juice, and. whom the time
comes, some spinach. carrots, and meat
finely chopped
Ard now to summarize. The best
food for a baby is breast milk. If a
baby is to be bottle fed the best sub
stitute is cows milk, provided it car
be had pure and fresh. and provided
there are facilities for keeping it. IN
homes where it is impossible to get
good liquid cows milk or where there
are not proper facilities IN the way Of
ice boxes and ice for Keeping liquid
milk, it is best to use a proprietary
food or else some form OF canned milk
or even dried milk. Especially is this
true in hot weather.

SOME HOT WEATHER QUESTIONS.

At l. o'clock today the temperature In
4 certain room registered 81; that of a
shaded porch, 100. An electric fan was
turned on. I felt much cooler, but
when two hours later 1 looked at the
THERMOMETERS in the room the tempera :
ture was 9S. Then l went to the porch
and that thermometer registered 80.
If a fan increased ones comfort on
a hot day why did the Thermometer IN
the room go up one degree While the
outside thermometer was falling four?
Answer-The fan actually increased
the temperature a fraction by the frlc-
ton Of the moving air. However, that
was not the important factor. The fan
was in warm part Of the room. 1t
drove the warmer air against the cool
er inside wall where the thermometer
was placed. But you say il this is the
true explanation why did the ian IN
crease your comfort?
The air next your body was both not
and wet 1t was about SO in tempera-
ture, and 100, or almost about, that In
humidity. The fan blew the wet and
hot air away from your body, increased
the evaporation from your skin, and
thereby added to your comfort.
Question 2-Why do baseball players
wear wooden shirts on very hot days!
Answer-They work in the sun. The
temperature of the air in the sunlight
is a good deal hotter than that Of the
body When one works in the sun
light on hot day he can shield him
self from some Of the heat by cover

up, with his wounded heart. They miss
half the joy of love and trust Their hearts
are cramped instead of expanding and
their minds are narrowed with their
hearts. They may acquire learning from
DOCKS, but they are narrow, still lacking
warm sympathy with their fellow man
Ihey are likely to put an undue value on
themselves and when it happens, as it
must at times, that they are not held In so
hlgh esteem by others, they are hurt.
Ihe genial man has kind word or
smile for all whom he meets. He Is ever
ready to hear with sympathy the tale OF
aHotherS grief to give such consolation
ana aid as he can. He does not feel his
place l., society so insecure that he is in
danger OF losing it by speaking to one out
side of his circle
There is always something to be learned
from those we meet. To be genial does not
mean to tell all of ones affairs to every
one Nor does it include making Intimate
companions of everyone about him. It
does mean to have Kindness in ones heart
to all the world, to have Il desire to carry

make the world happier and better 1t is

Hint For Second Basenen.
Billy Evans in St. Nicholas.

Billy Evans III 81. N icnOldS.
when runner reaches second base,
the shortstop and second baseman can
do much to slow him up, by constantly
forcing him back to the bag. The mo-
ment a runner gets pretty good lead,
it is wise for either infielder to drive
him back to second by running up to
the bag! to take throw. The throw
can come from either the catcher or
pitcher. The catcher always has the
play in front Of him, and often, through
some set signal. tells the pitcher when
to whirl around and make the throw.
The percentage Of runners caught on
such plays are very few, put OFTEN such
play gets the pitcher out OF a bad
hole, simply because the runner insists
on taking too big a lead in his anxiety
to score. Even if the runner is not
caught, the play has another very good
feature. Every time the runner is
forced to return Is or 20 feet to base,
it robs him of certain amount of his
speed. If the play is SO close that he
is forced to slide, it slows UP the run
ner still more. Often a couple of mar
row escapes will cause him to cut down
by four or five feet the big lead he
was taking"
