and all the citizens will realize that
they have a special obligation TO
safeguard the conditions surrounding
babies. And it is confidently be-
lieved by those who are interested in
this nationwide baby week that the
remainder of the year will be mark
ed by Strengthening of all com
munity activities for saving babies
lives and giving them a better chance
to grow to a healthy maturity.
The baby week idea originated in
Chicago not quite two years ago
Then New York had baby week,
and Pittsburgh, and other cities. Such
practical benefit has in each case
resulted that the General Federation
of Women's Clubs has undertaken TO
promote this nationwide observance.
State health officials and national or
ganizations interested in public
health and child welfare have taken
up the plan and in various ways are
giving it not only their sanction but
their active cooperation. The eX-
tension divisions of the state uni
versities have promised sp"clal as
sistance in interesting and helping
baby weeks in rural communities.
The federal children's bureau be-
lieves that baby week will give more
parents chance to learn the accept
ed principles of infant care, and will
awaken every American to his re
sponsibility for the deaths of the
three hundred thousand babies who
according to the census estimates,
die every year before they are
twelve months old. Therefore the
chidren's bureau has prepared a
special bulletin of practical sugges-
tions for baby week campaigns, adapt
ed to the varying needs of communi-
ties of different types. Copies of this
bulletin may be had free of charge
from the children's bureau at Wash
ington.

Denver, Colo, Jan. Problems af-

liquor traffic.
Under the peoples mandate given
at the general elections Nov. 3, 1914,
fourteen breweries and more than
800 saloons will be closed, cutting
off more than a million dollars rev

governments annually received in va

Nature Always Active.

It is known that every particle of
he earth is in state OF constant ac-
.ivity. Nature abhors stagnation as
it abhors vacuum. Even the stag
lant, smelly pool of water generates
myriad forms of life. Every particle
ot what we call a stone has chem
stry that is ever changing form. No
matter how infinitesimal the infinite
atoms of the combined elements of
our sphere not one is in the same
place today that it knew yesterday
Every hour, every moment experiences
change.

o Lord our Lord, how excellent
is thy name in all the earth! who
hast set thy glory above the heavens.
out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings hast thou ordained strength
because of thine enemies, that thou
mightest still the enemy and the
ayenger.
When | consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man. that thou art mindful
of him? and the son of man, that
thou yisitest him;
For thou hast made him a little
lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour
Thou madest him to have dominion
over the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet;
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air and the fish
of the sea, and whatsoever passeth
through the paths of the seas.
o Lord our Lord, how excellent is
thy name in all the earth!

The Deutschland as Postman.

Our postal authorities are ready to
send mail by Capt koenig, ii he is dis
posed to carry it.
Once the mails went by the swiftest
steamers, but the letters destined for the
war zone take as much time to reach the
addresses as letters did when the mail
bags went by sailing vessels. And many
of them never arrive at all.
The British censor and his assistants
read letters with deliberation. In some
cases they have been so slow that pieSe
of mail has taken four months between
New York and Berlin. The Deutschland
can certainly better that record
OF course. with allied cruisers on the
watch for the submarine, the letters
would not be entirely safe But nothing
is safe at sea to-day. Hundreds of
thousands of pieces of mail have sunk to
the bottom of the ocean.
On reaching Germany the contents of
the bags would be at the disposal of the
German censor, who would 20 over them
with painstaking care. But he would let
through many of the communications
which the British censor would delight in
destroying.
The chief value of sending mail by the
Deutschland would be the discomfort
such a proceeding would cause to the
British censor, who has abused his pow
er.
Mail by submarine would destroy the
censorship which has been shown to be
an important part of the British idea OF
freedom of the seas.-Boston Herald.
