Five Things
Every Baby Needs

The health OF baby depends
upon FIVE things-his food, his
clothing, his sleep. his bath and
his home surroundings. To
have each OF these adjusted to
meet his need is to give your
child the best possible chance
for bis life and health.
Every requisite for healthy
babyhood is within the reach OF
the average mother in her own
home if she knows how to
utilize it. This knowledge has
been put into concise form in a
bulletin prepared by the United
States Public Health Service
for the mothers of the nation.

Newport, R. l., Oct. 6.-Colonel
Ernest Voight, a German-American
OF this city, who was one OF those who
went aboard the armed German sub
marine, talked with the commander.
Later Colonel Voight said it was APP
parent that the vessel visiting here
had been on the surface sometime, as
its upper structure was well dried out
and everything on deck was polished,
as for visitors day, Colonel Voight
said that Commander Rose had told
him little about the trip except that
he had run submerged for virtually
three days. He did not make known
why this was necessary. No warships
were sighted from the time he left
Wilhelmshaven until he met the DE-.
The records showed, Voight said, that
the vessel had submerged to depth
of 200 feet. The commander told him
that his ship could make eighteen
knots on the surface and twelve knots
submerged.
"When do you expect to reach
home" Voight asked.
The German commander smiled,
thought 4 second, and replied;
I'VE may never reach home"
Soon after the U-53 dropped
anchor, a motorboat came alongside,
having been dispatched from the
naval station 10 bring Commander
Rose ashore. The German officer
came up to the city unaccompanied

and first called upon Rear Admiral
knight. He remained only a few
minutes. Later Admiral Knight said
that his caller had not told him where
he was going, but merely that he
would put to sea tonight. He added
that they had only exchnged felicita-
tions. From the war college the Ger
man commander went to the flagship
and after brief stay with Rear Adj
niral Gleaves, returned to his ship.
"a few minutes later the American
5admirals visited the U-s3. The COM
mander told his visitors that it was
his first visit to America. Soon after
Admiral Knight and Admiral Gleavcs
had left the submarine, weighed
anchor and turned its PROV toward
the open sea.
The pleasure boats that had hung
about it started in pursuit, but they
we're soon outdistanced by the sub
marine, which started away at a speed
OF eighteen knots. 1t sailed at 5:l8
o'clock, lighted from stem to stern,
and travelling awash. At o'clock, ii
had approached the limit OF the three
mile neutral zone off Brenton Reef.
Here its wireless was dismantled, the
lights went out and five minutes later
it gently settled below the surface.
All afternoon shore observers kept
sharp watch for the appearance OF
warships OF the entente allies, which
are supposed to be scouting along the
coast, but none appeared.

with the remark. THE law goes far

Beware Of Reformer.
Salvation is often confounded and
confused with conversion. Conver-
sion is the first step for the man
turned in the right direction. A man
is not finally saved until he is perfect
in holiness. These bombastic 'conver-
sions' may be likened to get-rich-
quick schemes. No man can be a
devil one minute and an angel OF
light the next. We must work out
our own salvation. Beware Of the
long haired reformer who goes about
the land declaring that he has pat
ent device up his sleeve that will give
you salvation al moments notice.
"The church and the minister can
not save you from sin. It's up to
you. knowledge, desire and power
are demanded in the settlement of
salvation as well as the temperance
problems. Conscience plays prom
inent part. Revelation is the voice
and conscience the ear Salvation is
impossible without conscience. Trou-
Bile comes when men do not act on
the knowledge they have assinilated.
Their consciences are hardened.
"There is no>such thing as total de-
pravity. There is a spark of good

spirit and the lower nature grows
more rapidly than the higher. Again

Berlin, Oct. (via London. )--The
story circulated abroad that the
American ambassador, James A.
Gerard, is the bearer of an appeal
from the German emperor for peace
intervention by the United States, is
declared authoritatively here to be
absolutely without foundation.
Ambassador Gerard, it was said,
bears no communication from En-
peror William Of any description and,
as matter Of fact. when he left, Ber-
lin did not even know that he was
going to America. He had almost
abandoned hope of hearing from
Washington concerning his request
for a leave OF absence and thought
he probably would return to Berlin
after week in Sweden, and so in-
formed the foreign office officials be-
fore he left.
OF No Significance.
Herr Won Jagow, secretary for for-
eign affairs; DR.. Alfred Zimmerman.
the under secretary for foreign sf-
fairs. and DR.. Solf. secretary Of state
for the colonies, all saw the American
ambassador the day before he left.
but his visits were Of a private ma
ture. Mr.. Gerard's trip is regarded
by officials here with no more sig
nificancc than leave taken by any
ambassador under the same circun-
stances. He had needed a vacation
| and the present time seemed to be :
suitable opportunity. He will, It Is
understood, have informative confer
ences with President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing, to whom he will be
able to give more exhaustive and
more intimate reports of the situation
than he could through regular diplo-
matte channels.
Rumors Won't DOWN.
Washington, Oct. 7--Officiai de-
malls from all sides fail to down thc
persistent reports that Ambassador
Gerard, returning from Berlin, Is
bringing direct word from Emperor
William, asking President Wilson's iri-
ltercessioD for peace.
| Despite the fact that Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador.
lhas stated he knows positively that
Mr.. Gerard is coming on no such mis-
sion, and the State department was
moved today by the pcrsistcncy Of the
story to issue an official denial, 1t cir
culatcd widely In official and diplo-
matte circles, and was seriously dis-
cussed as possibility.
Knows Nothing Of It.
The dramatic arrival Of the German
war submarine U-53 at Newport News
with dispatches for Count Won Berns-
torff, just before he has an audience
with President Wilson on Monday,
served to add color to the circumstan-
tial chain OF events. The German EN-.
bassy tonight disclaimed any knowl-
edge OF the nature Of the dispatchcs
or the mission Of the submarine In
4 American waters.
State department officials issued
this statement in regard to the rumor:
1--WE have no reason to believe there
Is anything in it and every reason to
believe there is nothing in It."

WHEAT CROP SHORT,
STATE REPORT SAYS
Bulletin Issue bdy State Board
of Agriculture Says Yield
Worth Twenty Millions.
CHASE COUNTY LEADS ALL

Lincoln, Oct. ESPECIAL )--Ac-
cording to bulletin issued by Secre-
tary w. R. Mellor of the State Board
of Agriculture, Nebraska raised less
wheat this year than last, but the
crop is worth about $20,000,000 more.
This is partly due to the fact that
there was an acreage of 352,574 less
in 1916 than the former year, but was
partly offset by an average yield of
1.6 bushels per acre more.
The total acreage this year was 81
063,756 acres and the yield 65,365,69l
bushels. The total crop is valued at
$7S,438,829 as compared with $751;
856,358 last year.
Clay county raised the largest crop,
2,430,4l7 bushels with Adams county
close second with 2,4ll,803.
Douglas county raised l4o006
bushels on 6,7l2 acres, an average Of
over twenty-five bushels to the acre.
The highest average yield was in
Chase county, being little over
thirty-four and one-half bushels.
