LONG MAY SHE WAVE.

Tomorrow is flag day, yes and it is
more than this, it is day on which We
will give expression on preparedness,
i'll short it is preparedness day as
well as flag and parade day
This is the both anniversary of the
adoption of the flag of the United
States of America. Notices sent out by
the American Flag Association says:
I'm many Of the states, pursuant to
law, in the public schools exercises
will be conducted in celebration of flag
day. BY voluntary impulse let this al
so be done in private schools. Let US
extend this practice. Teach the story
of the flag, what it represents. and
have the young people pledge their
fealty and loyalty to it.
"On the 14th day of June, 1916, con-
gress enacted: That the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white; that
the Union be thirteen stars, white in a
blue field, representing a new consted-
lation.' The number of stars have been
increased by the admission of new
states. The possibilities of the nations
future development dawned upon our
fathers. The original thirteen stripes
continued for several years and were
then changed, after few years only
were unchangeably restored by act of
congress on April 4, 1918, when it was
enacted That from and after the
fourth day Of July next, the flag of the
United States be thirteen horizontal
stripes alternate red and white; that
the union be twenty stars, white, in
I blue field, and that on the admission of
& new state into the Union one star be
added to the union of the flag, and
such addition take effect on the fourth
day of July next succeeding such ad-
mission The flag has so continued
ever since.
"Since the struggle of 1876, the
flag has become the symbol of a
mighty nation. 1t has been carried to
the utmost parts of the earth, carrying
liberty wherever it has been thrown
to the breeze"
Then let everybody in Americas on
the morrow do their part in the OBJ
servance of the day. Let US forget for
the time being all our varied troubles
and exasperatiing things of life, and
give thought to the occasion and what
the American flag stands for. No true
American can refuse to do this, for
beneath its folds we are guaranteed
the right to live, and enjoy freedom
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
and the privilege of serving God ac-
cording to the dictates Of our own con-
science.
A grand and glorious old flag it is,
then let every man. woman and child
il Americas do it honor on the NOR
row.

IMPROPER FEEDING, NOT
TEETHING, CAUSE SICK Babies

The following bulletin from the
state board of health by Emory R,
Park, NJ. D., says;
General misunderstanding prevails as
to the cause of sickness in teething
babies. Often we hear the expression
from a mother: MY baby isn't well. 1t
is teething" just as if it were a per
fectly natural and normal condition
for baby to be sick while cutting q
few teeth. 1t must be admitted that
babies are very often sick during the
process of teething, but why is this?
1t is not because it is the natural
thing for it to be sick then, but simply
because it is the natural thing for q
proud mother to think, when she sees
the first tooth peep through the gum,
that the baby may now be given solid
food in order to make use Of his new
possession
Just because baby has = fsz ivory

reason for sudden change in its
nourishment- While this percepd5ls
change has taken place In its mouth,
there has been no material change in
its delicate digestive organs. There
fore, upon giving it solid food instead
Of liquids as heretofore its stomach is
taxed as never before. and n order TO
perform the new task thrust upon it
the whole system becomes upset. 1t
naturally follows that there will be
bowel troubles which the child has
never experienced before. Let me re-
peat that this is caused by ambitious
mothers, and not as a matter of course
since baby is teething. In cutting our
wisdom teeth we older people know
that the sensation caused by our teeth
ing was only little itching and sore
ness Of the gums-just so is the sensa-
ton to baby when its first set ar
rives.
Now as to the proper feeding Of the
baby mother should be most careful.
It's delicate digestive organs should be
carefully watched and understood, for
every infant has separate and dis
tinct anatomy; and, in order to know
just what constitutes the proper nour-
ishment for different babies, we must
know just how much strength and
digestive ability that particular in
FAINT possesses. What would be too
strong for the digestion of one might
be too weak for another, and vice
versa. ~-
A mother should nurse her baby, but
when this can not be done the best
and safest plan is to employ healthy
Wet-nurse, and If that can not be done,
the next best thing is to have a repu-
table physician-one who has studied
the constitutions of many different
babies-prescribe for her offspring.
Physicians have many formulas for
modifying cows milk and making it
suitable to babies Of different ages and
of different strengths. The subject of
artificial feeding at the teething age
can not be studied too carefully, for
the mortality of infants at this stage
OF life is too great to be considered
lightly. Many a little child, who was
unable to defend itself, has been sent
to an untimely grave simply because
its mother through pride and ignor-
ance has given it solid food before its
little organs were strong enough to
digest it.

URGES FULL REGIMENT OF
SOLDIERS IN DELAWARE
HARLAN CAUSE WRITES AN AP-
PEAL TOALL PATRIOTIC CITIZENS

A Third Battalion Of Soldiers Would
Raise a Full Regiment in This State
and Give Delaware Distinction
Editor The Smyrna Times: Sir
For some time | have been impressed
with the very great Importance and
desirability Of Delaware furnishing a
full regiment Of soldiers to be sent TO
the Mexican border, as a full regi-
ment would have many advantages
that would be denied to one or two
battalions. A full regiment would
maintain its state designation. while
one or two battalions would be merged
with other battalions from another
state. thereby losing its designation
as a Delaware regiment.
l feel convinced that if all good and
patriotic citizens throughout the state
would join heartily in this movement
it would be but a short time before a
/ full regiment would be recruited. and
certainly every patriotic Delawarean
would be glad to see a full regiment
leave the state. | am reminded that
when the Fourth Delaware Regiment
+ of Volunteers was organized in 1862
a full regiment Of one thousand men
was recruited throughout the state,
practically during the months of July
and August. and at the same time the
First DELAYS are Battery was recruited
to its full strength commanded by
Colonel Benjamin Nields. and entered
the field.
Our regiment went into camp at
Brandywine Springs in September, and
this was done after the First. Second
and Third Delaware regiments had
been previously organized and sent to
the front. If at that time and under
conditions then existing a full reei-
ment of. 1000 men and the Delaware
Battery could be recruited in two
months. certainly one additional bat
TALON can be raised now in a very
short time and thereby form a full
regiment.
| therefore earnestly hope that all
good and patriotic citizens throughout
the state will put their shoulders tc
the wheel and do all in their power tc
recruit another battalion quickly and
have the proud satisfaction of know
ing that Delaware sends a full regi.
ment of soldiers to Mexico. My son.
James H. Cause and my son-in-law,
First Lieut.. Charles R. Jefferis, Jr.
are both in Company d of the Or
gsnized Militia. and if were a few
years younger and had my eyssiRht
would certainly have joined the force
before this.
] am sending letters to other news
papers throughout the state. urgini
their cooperation in the movement q
above outlined.

unless exempted, The meeting was
attended by representatives of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
by C. w. Anderson. United States at
torney at Boston. in charge of the gov
ernment's inquiry into the high cost of
living.
The chief topic was method under
which abuse of the reconsignment
privilege could be prevented. Infor-
nation gathered by the railroads and
interstate commerce commission Off
cials is said to indicate that specula-
tors in foodstuffs and other necessi-
ties, by abuse of the reconsignment
privilege, have withdrawn cars from
their normal uses for unwarrantably
long periods, thus contributing to tt. g
car shortage and Indirectly to the
higher cost of living.
Under existing regulations it is pos
sible for spectators to ship cars to
their order, reconsign them upon de-
livery, to other destinations and con-
tinue the practice indefinitely, keep
ing cars in transit awaiting favorable
markets and virtually using the rail-
roads as warehouses instead of
carriers.
Thousands of cars are said thus to
have been made unavailable for legiti-
mate shipments of manufacturers and
other producers.
