reached for both boys and girls al
these ages.
Tables dealing with the negro pop.
ulation show that the rate of NOR
tally among them is far greater than
among whites and the expectation Of
life much shorter.
Great as Is the death rate among
white infants, that among negro in
fants is fully double.
OF all classes shown, that of white
girls in rural, communitie shows the
lowest rate of mortality, IL consid-
cred for the entire period Of life.
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity OF Michigan, who supervised
the preparation Of the life tables
says:
Much attention has been given in
recent years to the Improvement OF
infant mortality. Owing to the lack
of reliable statistics on high regis
tratiOn In most communities 1t Is diff
ficult to calculate the rate of NOR
tality during the first year Of life. 1t
changes very rapidly, decreasing
from a monthly rate of about forty or
fifty per thousand in the first month
of life to four or five per thousand in
the twelfth month of life.
ION account Of the Importance Of
this subject, a separate infant NOR
tally table, appearing at the head
of, each life table. has been construct
ed, which shows the rate of mortali-
ty and other derived values by age
intervals of one month. An examina-
ton of the infant mortality tables re-
veals striking and significant differ
ences in mortality conditions in diff
ferent classes Of the general popula-
ton" Brooklyn Eagle.

special advance preparation. Instruc-
tions were simply issued to various
division superintendents to do their
best as desired by the government
officers, and these gentlemen were
found in readiness to deliver the
goods to the other end of the line in
safety and almost upon passenger
train schedule. II this had been done
once 1t might possibly be ascribed to
the expenditure of one supreme eff
fort, but when 1t was repeated with
regularity it is an indication OF the
preparedness of the Rock Island and
of its Ell Paso G Southwestern con-
nection.

KILLING THE CoCKROACH

The cockroach-one of the worst
pests of the housewife be sue
cessfully controlled. Here is the
remedy given by George A. Dean
professor of entomology in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college, and
used not only in homes but in many
big -four mills in Kansas.
Get large pan or deep jar, the
deeper the better, and place foul
damp dishrag in it. Set up sticks OF
laths on an easy slant from the floor
to the pan or jar, so that there will
be no difficulty for the reaches to get
to the edge of the jar. The reaches
will run up these laths or sticks and
be attracted to the damp dish rag
within the jar. for they congregate in
such places.
Place this trap in the pantry or
kitchen, or wherever the reaches are
found, and leave it over night, as
reaches hide and are quiet during the
day and make their odious raids at
night. The first thing in the morn
ing pour boiling water over the rag
to kill the reaches hiding in 1t, for
they will surely be there IT, they are
in the house.
Having once eliminated the pest
from the house, the one bit OF advice
that Professor Dean would offer is
to rid the house Of damp, musty
places. Unless they can find such
places in which to breed and hiber-
nate, reaches are not likely to stay.
If the house, or any other building,
is absolutely dry and clean, there will
be little danger of being bothered
with such pests.
1.-THE damage done by these insects
is extensive" says Professor Dean.
"They will eat almost anything.
Their mouths are well adapted for
biting and gnawing. Besides eating
all kinds of food, they will cut cloth
ing, cloth and leather bindings of
books, leather goods and the like.
They do not actually destroy as much
food as they render odious and unfit
for use. They leave nauseous odor
about everything in which they come
in contact, and this can be removed
only by a thorough washing with
soap and scalding water. Foods they
once crawl over are absolutely be-
yond redemption"

BAND NOTES

Do you know of a town anywhere
that is giving FREE instructions to
students in band music? Liberal is
doing that. The town has employed
a man for one year to teach the boys
band music. Liberal wants band
a real band. The town wants 40 OF
SO of them to take it up. II hun
dred of them come they will be taken
care Of. The town furnishes the in
structions, the parents must furnish
the boys and the instruments, the
boys must furnish the brains. Give
the boys a chance, and Liberal will be
proud Of them.
Funny, isn't It? Look at the num-
Der of families that buy fine pianos
for the DAUGHTER, furnish any
number of expensive lessons for her,
willingly send her anywhere for in
struction, endure the agony of her
practising for years, deny themselves
anything to give her musical training.
The SON wants to join the band.
He Is discouraged. No, sir; never!
1t COSTS too much. We cannot af-
ford to buy him a respectable band
instrument. Hundreds, or thousands,
for DAUGHTERS; not even cents for
SON. Is 1t fair?
GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.
The military band is emphatically
the best school of music in the world.
The boys of Liberal have this oppor-
tunity right now. The trouble is not
with the boys-it is with the parents.
Don't block boys ambition.
GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.
Special attention will be given to
military drill almost from the be-
ginning. This is pleasant feature
usually neglected. Give the boy a
few lessons and notice the improve
ment in his walk and carriage; see
hoW AuNhiy No CdtCucS SItp WH6u
watkins with you; see how easily
he will meet and pass people on the
street. His every movement and
bearing will mark him at once as a
TRAINED man. Notice Reuben"
plugging along, out of step, dragging
his hoofs, humping into people. Hold
your temper. Don't make use of
profane language, but take another
look at the boy with training. Then
GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.
The Liberal band room is fit
place for any lady to visit. The
mothers, the wives and the sisters of
the band boys are especially invited
to drop in at any time and see how
the band does its work.
GIVE THE BOY A CHANCE.

A RAILROADS. PREPAREDNESS

A record in preparedness on the
part Of commercial and transporta-
tion interests to fill emergency gov
eminent orders was established in
the filing Of the recent army order
for auto trucks in Mexico.
All records were broken in the as
sembling Of the trucks at the factory
and In loading them for Ell Paso.
Without advance preparation the
first train Of fourteen freight cars
loaded with auto trucks, and one
tourist car for attendants, made the
run from Chicago to Ell Paso in So
hours and Is minutes, the shipment
being handled over the Rock Island
Lines and the FL Paso & Southwest
ern. Subsequent movements, how
ever, bettered this record; six con-
secutiye specials making the same
run in from 50M to 511a hours each
IAN unusual performance for the
distance Of 1,466 miles.
This record Is remarkable when it
is realized that this phenomenal time
was made not once. but upon several
occasions. leaving ON different days
and without any opportunity for

by establishing the federal employ

ization of the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce, the establish
ment of the bureau Of foreign trade
advisers in the State Department and
the fuller utilization of the consular
and diplomatic departments, by en-
forcing the principles Of civil service,
and by the Investigation and effective
suppression of lobbying.
The creation of tariff commission
is assured at this session and Con-
gress and the administration are
wholly committed to the Federal
Child Labor Bill and the Workmen's
Compensation Bills.
The Progressive party pledged
itself to "use its best endeavors to
substitute judicial and other peaceful
means Of settling international diff
ferences In lieu of the barbaric sys-
tenn Of warfare among nations" The
administration has endeavored to ap-
ply this principle. Measures embody-
ing Progressive platform ideas which
passed one house of Congress in

prevention Of industrial accidents.
2. The conservation measures.
3. The Flood Control Bill.
4. An inheritance tax provision in

A BABY,s CHANCE TO LIVE

What chance Of life has your
baby? How long may you hope to
Hive?
I Ask Uncle Sam.
II fair haired little Elizabeth, who
laughs merrily as she makes brave
efforts to walk upon her sturdy IL
months-old legs, reaches her first
birthday without mishap-provided
she is a city baby-she may hope to
live to be more than 81 years old.
But If Elizabeth's parents join that
forlorn army of bereaved fathers and
mothers, they may know that their
baby's fate is that of four or five
other tots per thousand of the same
age in the city.
II Henry's parents live in rural"
community he may expect to live
longer than II he were city boy. For
II he reaches his second birthday he
may hope to live to be approximately
81 years old, while but about twenty
country boys per thousand die be-
tween their first and second years.
Elizabeth's cousin. Sarah. provided
she is the same age. but lives in the
country, may hope to live to be 81
years old, II she reaches l year old,
while the chances of her not reaching
her first birthday are less than three
per thousand.
But Henry's city cousin, Richard,
OF the same age. can hope to live on
an average of but 81 years, II he lives
to be 2, while the chances of his not
reaching his second birthday are
thirty-three per thousand.
That is fair example of what I'm
Gle Sam might tell you.
This is simple statement of facts,
based upon carefully gathered sta
tistics, scientifically computed under
the supervision of one of the fore
most experts on the subject in the
United States.
The bureau of the census, Depart
ment OF Commerce, has Just issued a
set of life tables, q government pub
LEGATION not only unique in the an
nails of this country's official docu-
ments, but one which promises to
have far reaching results.
A study Of these tables shows
many general facts Of unusual inter-
est:
Infant mortality is still high, de-
spite the efforts of medical science to
arrest 1t.
The country baby has far better
chance of life than the city baby.
Girl infants show a smaller rate Of
mortality in their first year than do
male infants.
The life Of the average man is
longer than that Of the average wo-
map by approximately three years.
With but few exceptions. the rate
OF mortality is lower among native
born whites than among foreign born
whites.
Practically all tables show the
healthiest "age intervals" to be thoaeI
between 1911 and 1l-12 years. theI
lowest rate Of mortality being |

WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DID.

New York, July 30.-Vance G. Nc
Cormick, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, today gave ont
the following statement, review Of
Democratic achievements:
THE Democratic party can reason
ably put itself forward in the present
national campaign as the one avail
able fundamentally for progressive
service. Its record Of performance
and its declared intentions justify a

greaaive party will now look to the
Democratic party as the party OF
progress, In keeping with distinc-
tive commitments of the Progressive
platform the following laws have
been enacted in the six years since
the Democratic party gained control
Of the House and the nearly four
years Of its control of the Senate:
/. The Rural Credit Act, which
permits the farmer the same access
to credit facilities that is enjoyed by
others.
2. The Income Tax Law.
8. The Federal Reserve Act.
I. The Good Roads Law, which ex-
tends federal aid to road building.
6. The Trade Commission Law.
6. An S-hour law applying to work
done for the government, as we'll as
work done by the government.
z. An S-hour law applying to wo-
men employees in the District Of
