AT THE COLTMRIA.

Flung Choy," a quaint Chinese
operetta. which headlines the bill for
the last half of the week at the COlum-

diversion. In the musical tabloid are
introduced a number of pretty songs,
the selections of Miss Caroline Pull
lion, who takes the leading role, being
especially enjoyed. The supporting
cast is strong and there is a preten-
tious show of scenery which adds to
the completeness of the offering. Ward

lot of comedy in their skit, The Ter
ribIe Judge There is a refreshing
originality about their work that ap-
peals. In Little Miss Forget 1t" Tay-

takes the part of a woman who can't

opportunity for amusing situations.

good musical number is given by
George and Lilly Garden, expert xylo-

MOTHERS MILK BEST FOR BABY
Home Economics Department Urges
Natural Feeding of Child.

Last year in Missouri alone more
of these children died before they
were 3 months old At least half of
these babies could have been saved by
proper feeding, in the opinion of Miss
Louise Stanley of the home econOm-
les department. 1t is important that
the child should have during these first
months the best food, and nothing
else is so good as that which nature
has provided-mOther's milk.
Mothers milk is best for the baby
for the following reasons: Ii is adapt
ed to the needs of the child i'm compo-
sitiOn and amount: it is provided at
the proper temperature: il is more
easily digested by the baby; it does not
sour; it contains no bacteria and dirt:
IT strengthens the baby against dis
ease
If mothers realized how much
greater is the chance for life of the
naturally fed child. they would make
greater effort to noursh their chill
dren. There are few mothers who can
not with consistent effort nurse their
babies. The mother must have abund-
ant and wholesome food. plenty of
liquids in the diet. plenty of rest. ex-
erclse and fresh air. Regular nursing
stimulates the flow of milk.

An Unjust Inference.

From The Clinton Daily Democrat.
Our valued contemporary, the Lou

count of the maltreatment of Mis-
souri, University student because he
had published a leaflet attacking the
Greek letter societies, in a flaming
headline denominates it, A sample
Of What Missouri Taxpayers are Pay
ing for at Columbia"
The Democrat has a strong liking for
Editor Bryson. and an admiration for
his work and opinions in general. But
we cannot avoid believing his infer
ence in this. matter is very unjust to
a great institution. We decidedly dep
recate the issuing Of the sensational
leaflpt. and the ensuing attack is most
strongly to be condemned.
But why knock on the University?
There are some thousands of young
men and women there getting an ed

TELLS HOW TO BATTLE THE BABY
Miss L0uise STANLEY Of Home Econ0m-
les Department Gives Instruction.

Most young mothers dread the baby 5
first bath They are not used to hand
ling the youngster and in some cases
are afraid il will break if not handled
with care The baby who is handled
bv unaccustomed hands usually pro-
tests and the result is discomfort.
This can be avoided if the mother
sets about the task in the right way,
according to Miss Louise Stanley Of
the home economics department of the
University. In the first place it is
best to have everything at hand before
starting This means a small tub of
water at the right temperature, 80 TO
80 degrees. and if the baby is very
young. a piece of Turkish toweling in
the bottom of the tub. a mild soap. Il
soft wash cloth. some soft towels. oil
and talcum, saturated bOric acid to
wash out the eyes and cotton and
toOthpicks to cleanse the nose.
If the tub is placed upon a table of
the right height. the mother has a
much firmer basis on which to work
than if she tries to hold the squirming
child in her lap. The baby can be
undressed lying ON the table. soaped
there, laid in the tub, washed off and
dried. A little powder can be added.
and then special attention given to the
eyes and nose. The baby can be
dressed while still on the table.

Three thousand volumes of the

year, were returned to the State His

The exhibit contained the works of

know very little about Missouri writ
ers except Mark Twain and a few
more nearly as we'll known Few
know, for example, that Winston
Churchill was once Il MissOurian and
that the scenes of some of his best
known books are laid in Missouri"
Books by COlumbians were in the
exhibit. Among them were some of

COMMENT BY THE STATE PRESS

where. Should we condemn the little
red school house" which has done
so much for the sundry distinguished
Pike county statesmen lecauSe the
big bows used to row with their teach
ers, and the little ones among them
selves? In the varied ebullitiOns of
college youth. deliberate age finds
much from which it must withhold ap-
proval. But why seek therefore TO
chastise the school? Why sneer at
higher education because some of the
boys prove headstrong or unworthy of
higher ideals?
Having seen a copy of the publica-
ton which provoked the row under
discussion. and admitting in some
measure the evils of which it COM
plains. the Democrat has about as
much respect for i, as reforming
agency as we had for the Kansas City
Sunday Sun. which also posed as a
moral agent. Retaliation which took
the form of physical mistreatment,
was even worse than the cause The
whole miX-up was deplorable. but is
is unjust to hold the University re-
spOnsible We have utmost conf
dence that the occurrence will be
dealt with wisely, firmly and quietly
to he end ;hat the University will
no. be thr victim of scandals of a
personal character.

NEW CITY RULE PAYS,
us, BULLETIN SHOWS
Census Bureau Compares the
Commission Plan With
Old Council Form.
TEST IN "a PLACES
Figures Indicate Advantages
of Modern Idea in
Government.

| WASHINGTON. Feb. 29.-Samuel l..
I Rogers, director of the bureau of cen
sus, has just issued preliminary bull
! letin announcing the special findings
of his department as between commits
sion government and the old council
form in the conduct of cities.
In every test the commission GOV
ernment cities make much the better
showing than the old ward form.
Twenty-four cities We're selected for
the test, eight having The council
form, eight commission government
and eight that have changed from
council form to commission govern
ment within the last two years.
The eight cities having the council
form were: Indianapolis. Hartford,
Conn. Youngstown, Ohio, Troy, n. Y,
Peoria H.. Little Rock, Davenport
and Charlotte, y. c. The eight hay-
ing commission form of government
were: Birmingham, Ala, Lowell,
Mass. Des Moines, Pueblo, Topeka.
Montgomery, Ala, and Austin Texas.
The eight cities that have changed
from council form to commission gov
ernment in the last two years are:
Dayton, Reading, Wilkes-Barre and
Allentown. Pa, COvington, Ky, Sagin-
aw. Mich. Springfield, Ohio. and Jop-
lin, Mo.
Per Capita Cost Up in All.
The per capita cost of city govern
ment has increased in all the cities
the last two years, including the cost
of maintaining the departments. ex-
pense of public service enterprises.
permanent Improvements and interest.
In the cities having the council form
this increase has been from $23.10
o S2S.33. In commission government
cities the increase has been from
$19.22 TO $22.2O.
The per capita expenditure for out
lays alone increased from $50 to
$l0.S0 in council form cities: in COM
mission government cities from $3.50
to $5.S5. The per capita payments
for the current expenses and interest
increased from $l5.30 20 Sl7.'53 in
council governed cities; in commits
sion government cities from Sl5.32 to
SIGH The increase in these exp ndi-
lures was more than twice as great
in council form cities as in commits
sion government cities.
Best Showing in City Indebtedness.
Seven of the eight council form cit
les exceeded their revenues in per cap
ita expenditures from 81 cents to
Si.65. Only five of the eight commits
sion government cities exceeded their
revenues from SO cents to $l.37 in
per capita expenditures.
The biggest showing of all in favor
Of the commission government cities
is in the matter of municipal indebt
edness. In the eight council form cities
the per capita floating Indebtedness
increased from $29.04 to $3G.27.
In commission government cities the
Indebtedness decreased from S4l.55 to
$4149.
The eight cities that have changed
from council form to commission gov
ernment within the last two years
show about the same percentage of
progress as have the eight cities that
have been under commission govern
ment during the entire time.
