TOAST TO WILSON

"On similar occasions in past years l have dwelt on the heterogeneous charac- ter of the memb ership of the Associated Press, mainly for the purpose of em- phasizing the fact that varied as are our opinions, on one subject we all agree, that each and every one is loyal Amer ican
 'The 900 who compose our membership exercise their inalienabIe right of hold ing an opinion on every conceivable sub ject, including the relations of this gov ernment with foreign powers, and this right they hold and exercise in common with the rest of the hundred million Americans.
 "This broadly, does no harm, because however unwise the opinion thus individ- ually held, no one else is committed by it's expression.
 "Our form of government provides that the duty and obligation of voicing the opinion of this nation in it's intercourse with foreign nations rests with, and is imposed upon, our beloved chief magis- trate

 Tt is very great. indeed very ter rible responsibility, for a man to bear at any time.

ROOSEVELT BEATEN
 IN EVERY PRIMARY

Boston, April Massachusetts will be represented in the republican national convention by an unpledged delegation, if the outcome of today's primaries may be judged from slightly more than half of the total vote tabulated at il o'clock tonight
 The returns left little doubt that the unpledged group of candidate for dele gates-at-large, headed by Governor Me Call had defeated the ticket whose mem bers had declared themselves for the candidacy of former President Roose- welt.
 Trenton, N J., April 25.Returns from the primary election in New Jersey for presidential delegates today indicate that in contests in the republican party be- tween delegates pledged to Theodore Roosevelt and those preferring to go to the Chicago convention unpledged, the unpledged candidates were successful. There was no opposition in the demo- cratic party to the election of delegates favorab to the renomination of Presi- dent Wilson.
 Columbus, O.. April 25.-Both republican and democratic organization candidates for delegates-at-large to the national con- ventons were elected in Ohio today at the states first presidential preference primaries. Democrats selected as their delegates at-large former Governors Cox, Harmon and Campbell and Senator Pomerene overwhelmingly defeating Frank s.

TAKING LONG HIKES
ON THE BOARDER

d. A. Settlemire, an Audubon boy
who is a member of Co. B., "2nd Iowa
Inf.," now on the boarder and located
at Brownsville, Texas, writes us the
following:
1--WE are still at Brownsville and on
the Rio Grande river. We have been
here four months now and it is like
home to us. There is not great deal
of sickness now and the weather is
fine, it bling so in the shade today.
We were out on a ten days maneu-
yer, the biggest maneuver in times OF
peace ever put on. There were
$4,000 men. Gen. Parker reviewed
them after the maneuver and he said
it was the biggest review since the
war in 1865. We carried two days
rations, but we did not need them for
they did not take our wagon train.
One day we hiked 20 miles and made
somewhere near 120 miles in the ten
days we were out. We sleep in our
pup tents. The main battle was
fought where the largest battle was
fought during the Mexican war. Well
this is all for this time, but will write
you later"

We think that Doan's Kidney Pills
are all right and never fail to sug-
gest them TO anyone suffering from
lumbago. They act promptly and
strengthen the kidneys when other
medicines prove ineffective. We
generally get Doan's Kidney Pills at
Frick Drug Co."
The above statement was given on
June %, 1910 and on November IL,

farmer, asked looking around for his
16-year-old daughter.
Minnie and Roy Benjamin 17-year
old farmland were missing. Roy had
worked for Bennett through the husk-

daughter had been marked. They

Interspersed throughout the even

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
stT~:e:x -: Good Hok;fc,,

new plan that seemed to work very
well.
"Oh, My, I didn't begin, my nurse
did that as soon as he was day or
two old. 1t worried me at first for
it seemed so cruel to let tiny baby
cry but she just said THAT is part of
his days work" If he cried a little
longer than usual she would go to
him and turn him over and straigh-
ten down his clothes tuck him in good
and leave him alone again. Pretty
soon he learned that there were other
ways to put in his time besides crying
and he would lie on the bed and kick
and crow until he went to Sleep"
Helen picked up another garment
and proceeded to sew on a button
while the conversation continued.
But he might be ill sometimes
when he is crying" and one could see
old idea. YES" answered Helen,
but one soon learns to detect the
differ ence between a sick cry and the
wilful cry. Billy Boy has never been
very i'll, only colds and a touch of
Indigestion, and although he did not
sleep as we'll he did not seem to care
to be rocked"
well, suppose one is never too
old to learn something new but 1t
certainly seems bit strange to think
of training a six months old baby to
go to bed without being rocked to
sleep. I hope you haven't taken up
with this new tangled notion of feed
ing a baby by the clock" and Mrs
Thompson looked at Helen a bit
suspiciously.
Helen avoided answering by get
ting up and saying she must prepare
lunch because John always came
home early and after persuading her
friend to stay for the meal she hand
ed her a pamphlet which was laying
on the table. II wish you would read
some of the marked paragraphs in
this little bulletin sent out by the
Federal Bereau while l am busy

pamphlet in her hands.

Nov we can have a good visit
while Billy Boy has his nap" said
Helen as she settled herself in low
rocker and picked up her mending.
Mrs. Thompson looked up surprised
for Billy Boy could be heard quite
plainly for he was yelling at the top
of his voice you don't mean to let
that child cry himself to sleep, do
you" she said with an unmistakable
accent of reproof in her voice.
Oh, he wont cry long. When he
finds that noise wont bring me back
for he is pretty WISE" and Helen went
on with her sewing. "He is a little
more apt to object to going to bed
when l have company but l make it
a rule not to let that interfere with
my rules. You see the only way for
him to acquire a habit is to see that
she does the same thing at the same
time each day. Now he is quieting
down, you notice" and sure enough
the loud yells had ceased and a sleepy
protest to this having to give up
made the visitor smile in spite of
what seemed to her a harsh way to
treat baby.
II rocked all of mine to sleep, day
and night, until their feet nearly
touched the floor" and she went on
reflectively land many a time l was
so tired before they were settled for
good that l could have cried with
WEAKNESS and so nervous that could
hardly do anything for an hour, but
there didn't seem to be any other way
only just to stand it" and Mrs. Thomp-
son sighed at the recollection.
"It must have been hard work" for
both you and the baby said Helen
alphabetically, The baby made you
nervous and you made the baby nerv-
GUS because you got SO tired. think
/ like the new way better" and she
tiptoed to the bedroom door and peep
ed in. His regular breathing told her
he was now sound asleep so she VEN
tured in and pulled the covers up over
his shoulders for the room was cool
from the open window.
Before she was hardly back in her
chair Mrs. Thompson asked when
did you begin to train this baby to go
to sleep without being rocked" for
she was becoming interested in this

POSSIBLE APPROACH OF PEACE

The death of the aged Emperor of
Austria may have an effect upon the
duration of the war. His personality,
more than any other force, has held
the Austro- Hungarian Empire togeth-
er, with its nearly three score Of
races and dialects and all the con-
flicting interests and activities which
spring from such situation. Now
that he is gone. the Hungarians, who
have always been rather loosely at
tached to the dual monarchy, may
take 1t into their heads to move for
peace on their own account. Such
a step would have an immediate and
important effect upon the military
operations, especially in Eastern
theater of the war, and would doubt
less contribute to an earlier termi-
nation of hostilities than If all the
antagonists maintained their present
rigid attitude for finish fight. Such
result would produce tremendous
effect in this country-which may mean
that Franz Joseph's death has larg-
er significance for us then we now
think.

is being waged against tuberculosis
in Iowa.
There are several particularly i'm
portant reasons why everyone should
be very definitely interested in the
subject of tuberculosis.
Your health is involved in that of
your community. There is a connec-
ton between those afflicted with
tuberculosis and yourself. You come
into closer and more frequent con-
tact with such persons than you are
aware; for as long as we must follow
our pursuits in public conveyances,
upon public highways, and into places
of all kinds frequented by others, we
are in constant danger of infection.
But should it be that the condition
of your body makes you immune to
the development of an infection be-
cause of natural resistance to disease
(autopsy research has been that about
80 per cent of us are carrying tuber-
culosis infection) how about the
children, who 60 everywhere?
A large amount of control of the
disease will come through the employ
