days when "order" was considered as
of the first consequence and he was
considered the best teacher who could
keep the best order both in the school
room and about the school grounds

err History of New York makes a note
of this fact. Speaking of the war be-

teachers in this way: "Then came the

BABIES BEING CHEATED

Under present conditions one out of
every eleven babies born in Wisconsin
will sicken and die before the end of
it's first year Of life. The majority Of
these deaths are due to carelessness
and neglect-nct willful neglect, but
the neglect that is caused by ignor-
ance. Only too many of the mothers
in Wisconsin are woefully ignorant in
the care of their babies.
The baby cannot be alternately ac-
corded neglect and fussing over, &C
cording to the whim of the mother.
There must be definite daily routine
followed in the care of the baby.
To begin with, there must be abso-
lutte cleanliness. The baby must be
bathed regularly every day; in warm
weather an additional snonge bath
during the day helps keep the baby
cool, comfortable and healthy. Give
him an occasional cool, not cold drink
of pure water. The baby's clothes
must be clean, his bed and his room
kept free from dust and germs. When
he begins to creep, his face and hands
must be washed frequently so that
dirt may not find it's way into his
mouth.
The baby needs to sleep twenty
hours the first months, and sixteen
hours, at least, at the age of one year.
Let him sleep out-of-doors every day
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-08-24

and nave his windows open at night
Keep flies and mosquitoes away.
Fresh air fortifes him against pneu-
monia, tuberculosis and common colds
Train him to go to sleep by himself
without rocking or singing. The less
a baby is handled, the stronger he
grows. Give him chance to kick and
squirm with his clothes off, however
He must have his own bed, too.
If possible, the baby should always
be breat fed. Mothers milk is the
true baby's food and is never can
taminated or influenced by the wealth
er. If artificial feeding is absolutely
necessary, only pure cows milk, modi-
fed according to the prescription Of a
competent doctor, should be given.
Keep the milk on ice until just before
feeding when it should be warmed. Do
not give prepared foods. They con-
tain too much starch. Babies bowels
should be trained to move regularly
every day.
If the baby shows symptoms of sick
ness, call doctor at once. Do not
attempt to doctor your own baby. De-
lay in getting competent care mas,
mean serious illness or death. Only
a good physician knows what to do
for sick baby, or one who threatens
to be sick. Do not let the threat turn
into reality-nip it in the bud by pus-
ting the child under a wise doctors
care.

OUGHT TO LIVE \ HUNDRED
YEARS.

columbus, Ohio, Dispatch.)
A prominent Canadian financier
went to England the other day lin
the interest of his health" There
wasn't anything the matter with him
at the time. He had reached 65
years Of age, and had acquired a
goodly fortune, so he thought he
would consult the best physicians he
could find in an effort TO learn how
he could live TO be 100 years old.
He had ample means to live any
way that il might be necessary, and
he was willing to undergo any sort
of training the physicians might
prescribe.
The physicians looked him over"
and pronounced him in a perfect
condition of health, with the chances
in favor OF his living a long time.
But whether he could live to be 100
was problematical the physician
SAID. Certainly he would have TO
do one thing in order TO reach that
age-and the banker was ready to
do il. That was to go 10 work,
and work little harder than he had
than he had been accustomed to
work of late years. In other words,
he could live to be 100 only in the
event he did not retire"
Then the physician told the bank
er few things about retiring" He
said he had no record OF any man
living 10 extreme old age after he
tenarians, in fact, were persons who
had continued 70 work. No man
who led an active life 10 rs or so
and then retired had lived any
length OF time. and few men who
had worked until they were SIS and
retired had lived to 10 or 10.
The advantage OF succeeding in
life and acquiring a competency is
that IL enables one TO do the sort
Of work he loves TO do and thus also
enables him to escape the details
that are unpleasant. But 1t does
not promote longevity 70 acquire
money unless one continues in the
harness. Work that one does not
care to do kills at times: that IS the
burden of toil--to do something you
do not want TO do. But work that
one wants TO do. work that he en-
joys-that is play. and we can play
ourselves along for 100 years OF
more if we pay some attention to
the diet.

TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON

Duluth, Mimi. Herald. }

The fashion calling for skirts most
decidedly clear of the ground,
somebody has introduced a bill in
the Virginia legislature forbidding
any woman to wear a dress the skirt
Of which is more than four inches

ure, this freak throws in the pro-
visions that no woman may wear a
shirtwaist or evening gown which
shows more than three inches of
throat.
And now there will be much talk
Of freak legislation.
Too much attention is paid TO
freak legislation. The practice Of
talking about it has discredited leg
islatures and undermined respect for
law. Legislatures are bad enough
but they do not deserve half that
has been said about them because
Of such measures as this Virginia
folly.
The fact is that this measure will
not become law, and that very few
freak bills ever do become law. Not
all laws are wise. but not one per
cent OF the foolish laws proposed
ever get into a statute book.
Lawmakers counting publicity
