hygiene. United States children's bu-
reau, told the Council of Jewish Wom-
en-, at Eighth Street Temple, yesterda y
afternoon
DIR. Megs said that the bureau. real
izing that the protection of maternity
is an essential part of any plan for the
protection of babies and children. has
collected figures as to the number of
deaths of women from these causes.
and has prepared a report which is
now in the press.
birth in 1913 caused more deaths among
women fifteen to forty-four years old
than any disease except tuberculosis,
and that while the death rates of many
important preventable diseases have
fallen sharply in the last ten or fifteen
years. no substantial decrease can be
found in the figures of tho de"th rate
from childbirth. Yet child bed fever,
she said. which caused almost half OF
the deaths. has been known for forty
years to be a preventable disease. and
most of the other complications of
childbirth are now known to be. to a
large extent. preventative or cuTdDle
by modern scientific care.
why do these deaths occur year after
year." the speaker asked.
She said the chief reason is that wom-

right to skilled care before and at the
birth of her children.

Europe's War.

1t seems as though the dreary
war will never have an ending
the peace the world is longing for
no white-winged dove is sending,
A year ago we hoped and prayed
that ere another summer the SOL
der would have sheathed his blade
and gone to work as plumber.
We saw the winter months ad-
vance, and as the spring drew
closer we hoped that he would
soak his lance and open up as
grocer. And when the vernal
freshets roared we watched the
man in armor. and hoped that
he would can his sword and get a
lob as farmer. Alas. our hopes
were all in vain: the world is mad
and dizzy. and Europe, counting
I'D her slain, is still supremacy
busy. 1t seems to ME if kings and
cars would hold a friendly mee--
ing and pass around some good
cigars, first one. then t'other
treating, they soon might end the
beastly scrap that's kept the
world affrighted, and fiN the
blamed dins-swizzled map so all
would be delighted. But horse
sense is a sacred thing. cure for
war and dangers, to which the
captain and the king have ever
more been strangers.

Refused to Apply for Patent.

Mr.. Cameron refused to apply for a
patent to the land and Secretary Lane
began proceedings before the land
offices in Arizona to determine the
character of the land and if a discovery
of mineral had been made. Mr.. Cam
eron brought suit in the District SUI
preme Court for an injunction to pre-
vent Secretary Lane from proceeding
with this investigation. and urged that
suit must be instituted in the Ari-
IONA courts before the government
could interfere with his possession
The lower court adopted this view
but Justice Robb reverses the finding
and approves the contention of the Sec
rotary of the Interior that he has ex-
elusive jurisdiction to determine these
questions.

AGAIN IN THE RUNNING

Our bright little neighbor on the
west, Pennington, is inclined to crow
over her superior advantages as COM
pared with Ste. Genevieve. We admit
her right TO the title "a Right Little,
Tight Little City" and in doing so
would remind her that she must not,
in her youthful enthusiasm, forget
that the "oldest of Missouri Cities"
retarded by change in methods Of
transportation which left her help
less for years, is again in the running,
and if we are not sorely mistaken in
the temper Of her sturdy citizenry,
she will amply meet every problem for
the development of her trade terri
tory and, in doing this, our Fright
Little, Tight Little" neighbor may
well sit at the feet of age and exper-
fence and seek instruction in the ways
Of wisdom. Ste. Genevieve Democrat.

wANToN CRUELTY

1t is only a year ago that little
William Lang Shaw received from
an uncle as Christmas present a
beautiful collie pup. The little boy
became very much attached to his pet
and the dog to him and all the fam
lily. There are few more faithful at
tachments than that of dog for his
master. Friends may desert you,
the world turn its face from you, pow
erty overtake you, but your dog will
stay by you, share your ostracism, go
hungry with you, and lie down on your
grave in dumb patience waiting to
hear again the voice that he is not
permitted to know may never speak
again. Poor, dumb, faithful friend.
The other day someone who could
not appreciate such dumb show of
faithfulness poisoned little William
Lang's beautiful collie pup and he
died in great agony-the victim of
cruel inhumanity. How dear to the
heart of the little boy was his beau
tiful pet, and how pitiful his sobs as
his poor collie writhed in its pain
until death mercfully came to its re-
lief.
Would, you like to be the one who
placed the poison within its reach ?
Or the one who threw boiling lin
seed oil over the harmless bird dog
of the Gardner boys a short time
ago?
Kindness to dumb animals is evil
dence of gentle, refined and gener-
Gus nature.

it been from any one else we might
have doubted it. To begin with, he
is one of our progressive farmers and
fruitmen, living east of town, and was
so busy last potato time that he didn't
have time to dig all his crop. Last
Thursday a week ago, which was just
before the big freeze, he went to his
potato patch to see if he couldn't find
some good potatoes for planting. He
dug a bushel of old potatoes and out
of these hills he took half bushel
of new potatoes. He states that the
potatoes were just as good as any
new ones he ever ate in the SPRING
