There is evidence that Daniels,
Mary's manager, threatened Pol

and again goes insane when Il
policeman offers her whisky.
Daniels testifies that Pollock
threatened to kill Mary and
Langdon ana actually attempted
TO kill Langdon.
Two witnesses describe Mary's
fight to the street from the no
tel and her abduction by men
from gambling place near by.
Further evidence seems to in
criminate Daniels.
Maggie Hale, inmate of a gam
bling den, testiiies that she was
at the hotel and heard two men
quarreling in the Gray Room Il
short time before the murder.
Her evidence seems to increase
suspicion against Daniels.
Daniels privately informs Lang

Pollock and that if Mary is in
danger of going to the electric
chair he will tell all he knows of
the case.

tries or an excess of any n article
should be eliminated from her diet, as
well as anything which she does not
readily digest.
She should have a full movement of
the bowels every day, and for this pur.
pose should eat plenty of laxative
foods, rather han resort to medicines.
She should have at least eight hours
of sleep at night and another hour dur
ing the day with all the bedroom win
dows open, IL she has no out-of-door
sleeping room. She should have sys-
tematic exercise in the open air every
day, spending the time pleasantly in
walking or in taking some form of
light exercise, except at the normal
time of the mentrual period. when it is
better to rest. She should be careful
not to continue her exercise beyond
the point when she becomes tired.
She should have a daily tub or
sponge bath, having the water neither
hot nor very cold, and should rub the
skin vigorously afterward.
During the last eight weeks of preg-
nancy she needs special care. The
nipples should have attention each
day. according to directions given in
a publication of the Children's Bureau
called Parental Care" which is sent
free upon request to the Chief of the
Children's Bureau, U. S. Department
of Labor, Washington, d. c.
Throughout this stage of pregnancy
the mother should as far as possible
be spared all forms of heavy and tax
ing labor, in order that her strength
may be built up in anticipation of the
coming demand upon it. The baby's
proper development also depends
largely upon the mothers condition
at this time, since the baby gains half
his weight in the last eight weeks of
pregnancy. Therefore, if he is to be
born strong and healthy, it is most
important that the mother have plenty
of good food, and be spared undue
work and worry through this crucial
period. To help the mother, to afford
her opportunity for rest and to relieve
her mind of any burden, may entail
both expense and trouble upon the
family, but it will be repaid a thou
sandfold in the health of the mother
and baby which will result from the
effort, not only for the time being, but
forever afterward.
The mother of the expected baby
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1916-02-12

should be under the care OF a good
doctor as long before the birth as pos
sible, in order that he may watch for
and correct any untoward symptoms
that may arise.
In a city where the mother has not
only plenty of private physicians, but
hospitals, dispensaries and clinics at
her service, 1t should be possible for
her to have the necessary medical at
tention to keep her well.
In rural districts where medical at
tention is more difficult to secure, ow-
ing 10 the long distance the doctor Of
ten has to travel, the mother should
| endeavor to see him now and then,
and should send a sample of the urine
to be examined, as often as may be
practicable, particularly during the
last three months,
The pamphlet OF Parental Care, al
ready mentioned, gives advice regard
ing the hygiene OF pregnancy, wh1cn
mothers will find useful.
1t is exceedingly important that the
ailments of pregnancy be dealt with
in the beginning before they develop
into more serious matters. At the
first appearance of swollen hands and
feet, of persistent headache, of pain in
any part, of hemorrhage, or of spots
before the eyes, a good doctor should
be called.

CARE OF THE BABY.
Before the Baby Comes.


In this series of articles we have
been dealing with the early life of a
baby, after birth; w have not consid-
cred the equally important care of the
baby in the months of his life before
birth. The necessity for this care is
apparent from the fact that statistics
show that many thousands of babies
die every year in the early days of
life either because they were born
prematurely, or because they were
born too weak to survive. A very
large number of them lose their lives
because the mothers did not have pro
per care before they were born, or at
the times of childbirth. Every woman
expecting a baby should have such
care as will result in the birth of a
healthy and happy baby.
A prospective mother needs a light,
nutritious diet of digestible foods, such
as she likes and her appetite demands.
Fried and greasy foods, heavy pud-
dings, and all heavy or underdone pas

up to this meeting the most prosperous
farmers, mechanics and tradesmen, all
making up the sum total of Negro

NEGROES AT THE rHEArRE.

l wish to state that in my first ar
ticle on the above subject, l com.
planned only of bad public manners
of some persons in the representative
audience at the ShuDert theatre which
disturbed the comfort of the rest of
the audience and invited unfavorable
opinion for our race. Neither immoral
conduct nor character was the issue.
All persons In the controversy admit
that my complaint was justifiable. So
l regret that Mrs. NJ. ]. Smith took
advantage of my article to treat it
from a viewpoint that it was not and
is not my intention to discuss. 1t is
unfortunate that she uses the term
"blackset" to describe a black char
acter, any anyway such strong sweep
ing accusations prompted by the spirit
in which they seem to be made seldom
if ever accomplishes any practical
good. Mrs. Smith need not be sur
prised if she gets no direct reply to
her article as it would not be com
mon sense to answer it, but l desire
that she reread carefully my first ar.
ticle and also my reply to Mrs. Mary
Jones and see if she is really justi.
fed in accusing me of throwing
stones" However l have decided to
CALAMITY yield the last word to the
woman and rest my case to readers
who are fair minded and have a cor.
