BABY BOOSTING BUSINESS

How much do you reckon baby's
life is worth in dollars and cents to his
mother? Don't try to reckon it for it
can't be done. And yet there are thou
sands of babies dying each year just
because mothers do not know how to
feed and care for them properly. In
Wisconsin, alone, it is stated on good
authority that $500 lives could be saved
each year by proper feeding and care.
From the 10Th to 21st of October del
egates from all over the country will be
gathered in Milwaukee to struggle with
the problem of reducing the needless
slaughter of helpless infants. Great
medical specialists will confer together
and instruct one another in ways and
means of increasing the chance of life
and decreasing that of death Measles,
whooping cough, and infantile paralysis
will receive special attention.
Of unusual interest to US in Wiscon-
sin will be the half day devoted to the
special problems of rural parents, be-
cause over half of this state is rural in
character. Supposedly, rural babies
have had far better chances for life and
health than city babies. 10 great ex-
tent this has been fond delusion that
cold blooded study of facts doesn't
quite warrant. Never before in such a
meeting has so much time, [ think,
been given to this subject.
This meeting will be of direct per-
sonal value to you and to me because it
will teach us more about how to care

Close Call From Instant Death.

Highland Press Last Sunday while
out hunting with some other boys,
Leverne, son of William Plank, had a
close call from instant death by the
accidental discharge of shot gun.
The boys went to the woods together,
where they separated and started to
hunt. One of them shot at rabbit
through the thick hazel brush. Mr.
Plank was on the other side but could
not be seen owing to the thickness of
the brush and he received part of the
charge of shot around the neck and

Little Child Killed Under
Uutomobile.

Platteville Journal: A most distress.
ing accident occurred yesterday after
noon about 2 o'clock, which caused the
death of the two and one half year old
child of Mr. and Mrs Charles Mann, who
reside on Siemers street. Mr.. Mann
had taken the body of his automobile off
and placed it on props for painting it,,
and had retired to the house. The
children were playing about it, and this
little one crawled under the car. The
companions called for him to come out.
and in doing SO, he struck one of the
props and the car fell on the child,
killing him.
The awful tragedy took place at the
home, and the frantic neighbors called
a physician at once, but life was extinct
when he arrived.
The sorrowing parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of all in this great
grief.

FALL OF VILLA IS
TOLD BY MEXICAN
Former Head Military Advisor of
Bandit Chief Tells of His Tn.
doing as Leader.

Ell Paso, Texas, March 21.-General
Felipe Angeles, often referred to as
the true patriot of the Mexican rev.
olution," and former military advisor
to Francisco Villa, today came out of
long retirement to explain how, in
his opinion, Francisco Villa, instead
of being leader of the constitutionalist
cause has fallen to the status Of a
hunted bandit.
General Angeles charged that Villa,
like Carranza, aspired to be a dicta-
tor" and that this, and not the battles
he lost, caused his friends to forsake
him.
The general was the last of Villas
prominent supporters to quit him. He
now lives on modest acre vegeta-
BILE ranch and dairy, four miles be-
yond the eastern outskirts of Ell Paso.
Half mile distant flows the Rio
Grande. From his front porch he can
look across into the Mexican terri
tory, which he is at present forbidden
to enter.
The Carranzistas, the Villistas and
the Zapatistas are all my enemies -
said the general, his young son act
ing as interpreter, land | chose this
place for my home so that they may
know that | fear none of them.
Il till my soil and herd my cows,
having definitely put aside war and
politics. | am not guarded; anyone
who wishes can cross the river and
modest me-"
General Angeles said that he re-
GREETED the difficulties into which
Villa had fallen. He said that he had
a warm remembrance of the man as
a comrade in arms and explained he
had been drawn to support him be-
cause Villa had seemed at the time to
depresent the real cause of democ-
racy. He said he only left him when
he found Villa did not understand
democracy, although he did for the
cause all that he knew how to do.
Discussing the causes of Villas rise
in the army, General Angeles said:
villa gained power because of his
wonderful energy and his personal
magnetism. He had driving power.
Also he could be free and generous.
There seems to be an impression
that Villa assured obedience by in
spring fear This is unjust.
1.-THE primary reason for Villas
loss of power was his attempt to die
tate the policies Of his adherents. He
refused to accept advice and his
friends left him.
villa possessed the knack to draw
around him men of ability. When
he estranged these men, his power
began to wane.
LAS a commander. he had but one
plan of battle-to drive forward. He
knew nothing Of military strategy and
his advisors supplied it, He lost his
strategy when he lost his advisors.
''The turning point in Villas career
came with the battle OF Celaya, In
March. 1915. This engagement, one
OF the most important OF the revolu-
ton. exposed his defects as gen.
eral' villa went into this battle with
the most meagre supply OF ammuni-

ton possible After the first attack
he had no ammunition. Yet he order
ed his men to advance again.
Before Villa marched from Mon
terey to attack General Obregon S
forces, | volunteered to go with him
Unfortunately | was thrown from a
horse and my foot was crushed.
Il begged him not to take the Of
fensive until he had obtained suffi-
Gent ammunition. Confident that the
enemy was frightened by the pres
tige he had gained in previous bat
ties, he ignored my pleas.
1T is solemn fact that Villa s
forces went into the battle of Celaya
without order. The better organized
and better supplied Carranzistas, see
ing that his ammunition was exhaust
ed, rallied from his first attack and
defeated him. He had made no prep
aration for possible repulse, and his
force was completely disorganized
This was the beginning of the end"
withstanding the recent trend OF
events the cause of democracy had
not lost prestige in Mexico
Il only regret" he added, that the
cause was represented by such man
as Villa"
The general said it was altogether
likely that the hunted bandit would
elude his pursuers.
General Angeles was a graduate OF
the famous Mexican military school
Of Chapultepec, He possesses a fine
reputation as military man, particu-
larly in his specially, artillery. Along
the border and among many govern
ment officials it is often said that the
generals strategy, freely given tc
Villa, won the string of military sue
cesses for which Villa was given
credit. General Angeles modestly re-
fused to acknowledge this.
