Statistics show that one in ev-

fore II is one year old. while only
one in every 30 OF the breast-fed
babies dies Thus the breast-fed
baby is given six times as much
chance TO hive as the bottle-fed baby
The reasons why so many bottle
fed babies die are Lack OF knowl-
edge OF mothers in the proper feed

their mothers are not well informed

Self Contempt and Suicide
eY DR.. FRANK ckANg
Copyright. 1916, b. Frank Crane,

Some time ago the newspapers told
a story OF striking tragedy. 1t occur
red In western city.
A man and woman had been married
with the usual festivities, had furnished
a home, and had lived together for four
lays. The third day he seemed depress-
ed and remained alone in his room. The
fourth day he shot himself in the brain.
His young wife was almost deranged
by the horror of the calamity.
He left note. In it he said al cannot
stand this turmoil within myself any
more. The fault is and has been all
my own. | have tried hard and earnest
ly to make success of life. but every
thing points toward failure. So here
goes. I'm the only one to blame God
has simply damned my soul. All
deserve is hate and derision from my
love and friends. My most important
wish is that this discontinues my ex-
istence here and hereafter and that my
torture ceases, not from without but
from within. My body deserves no more
respect than to be placed on burning
brush heap"
1t is not hard to diagnose this case. 1t
is a frenzy of self-contempt. 1t is self
condemnation and sef-pity rising to the
point of mania.
1t is not pleasant reading, but it may
be profitable, perhaps. if we realize that
the state of mind which drove this man
to ruin his own life and bring such poign-
ant sorrow to those who loved him. is
bad in any small degree.
And in small degree we are most of
US guilty of it.
BY some subtle perverson Of human
nature We make of self-dspraiSe lux
ury.
We enjoy slandering our moral char
acter, criticizing our ability and adver-
tising our weaknesses very much as we
take a strange pleasure in working at a
sore tooth.
How often we hear such exclamations
as, 81 am so wicked" II never do the
right thing" why was | ever born?"
and, "Was anybody ever so stupid as II"
We get a certain satisfaction from this
mock humility. In some way il seems TO
help us slip out of our responsibilities.
II you have this abominable habit, stop
at right now, while the miserable ex-
ample of this unfortunate victim is fresh
before you.
For it Is despicable cowardice. 1t is
a wretched whimper in the face of mis-
fortunes that other people bear manfully.
1t is irritating to your acquaintance
and distressing to your friends.
And it is way that grows on one. 1t
rapidly becomes a diseased obsession.
When it is full grown it prepares you
for any act of disgraceful weakness.
It's the common lingo among degen-
crates and criminals. The whole under
world is mired in this sort of disgust
ng self-pity.
1t is the road to self-destructon.
There never was a suicide that did not
get himself ready for his wicked end by
grovelling in self-cursings.
Humility is the greatest of virtues.
But humility gone wrong, soured, spoiled,
and malodorous, is the most contempt-
bic Of frailites.

Find Bad Roads in District.
Individually and as members Of the
4
Merchants Association business men
have been brought to a personal reali-
zation of the bad condition of the roads
in the County sections of Washing
ton, and have been more than once
Inundated by the aspersions of visitors
from Maryland and distant points at
the lamentable state of District roads.
This is made all the more apparent
when coming into Washington. New
Jersey. New York, Delaware, Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland and numbers of other
states have roadways that are the
equal of city streets. 1t is possible for
motorists to come direct from New
York or Philadelphia on the finest kind
of macadam and concrete roads until
they reach the District line, when
"backwoods" conditions are met with.
Charles j. Columbus, secretary of the
Retail Merchants Association, has al
ready called this condition to the at
tention of Engineer Commissioner
Kutz, who has expressed his hearty
sympathy with the complaint of the
association.
