1t is scarcely to be expected that Sec.
etary Of the Treasury McAdoo viii agree
with anybody else as to the condition of
the Treasury at any particular time, but
he certainly ought to be able to agree
With himself. On June 30 1915, he issued
a statement saying that the excess Of
ordinary expenditures over receipts for
the fiscal year ending on that date, was
$35, 864, 38l Sc A year later he issued a
st atement which inclnded statistics for
the same period, but saying that the ex-
cess of disbursements for the year ending
June 80, 1915, was $42, S67, 797. So II any
Democrat is in doubt as to these two con-
tiicting statements having been issued,
let him write to the Secretary of the
Treasury and get the statements for
June 80, 1915 and 1916, both of which
gives figures for 1915, but differing as
above stated. What would Secretary
McAdoo do to National Bank whose
statements covering identically the same
period of time varied as much as that?
The itinerant pedder is destroyer of
local business enterprises. He pays no
taxes, he pays no rent, hires no help,
buys no clothing or lumber or hardware,
or jewelry of the local merchants. He
employs no local attorney, patronizes no
local dentist, contributes to no local
church or fraternal organization. Be-
cause of these things We impose license
fee upon him in order to force him to
help pay local governmental expenses
and also to give the local business men
entitled. For exactly the same reason,
We impose import customs duties upon
foreigners who ship goods into this coun
try. We do not believe in system Of
government revenue which makes the
home business man pay all the taxes and
then permits the foreigner to sell his
cheap goods here free. We believe in
high import taxes for two reasons-to
make the foreigner pay for the privilege
of doing business here, and to protect
the home business man. This is not par
tisan politics is plain business sense.
The political party which will not sup
port such policy is not merely lacking
In political sagacity-it is lacking in bust
ness sense. We would not stand for
a city council that re pealed the peddlers'
license nor will we stand for National
ad mlnlstration that repeats the protec-
tt We tariff duties.

What the Baby Welfare Movement has Ac-
complished.

complished.
New YORK, July "a, 1916. In the past
ten years infant mortality has been re-
duced thirty per cent in the ten largest
cities of this country as direct result
OF the Baby Welfare Movement, yet
this indicates only small part of the
good work that has been accomplished
by the intelligent cooperation of the
various agencies for the conservation and
up-bulding of child life. The General
Federation of Women Clubs, co-operat-
ing with the U. S. Department Of Labor
Chlldren's Bureau, set aside as "Baby
Welfare Week" this year, the period
from March 4th to March 18th, and
thereby established great national cele-
bration, organized and carried to success
IN cities all over the country, with re-
suits for good far beyond any statistical
computation.
1t is stated, on excellent authority,
that in many of our progressive, well
run cities, the death rate for babies is
over two hundred and fifty per thousand,
and the rural communities average no
better, spite of their Wanted healthfui-
ness. while in certain districts these
make an even worse showing, the rate
running as high as forty per cent.
The record of the United States com
pares badly with many other countries,
notably so with New Zealand, which has
rate of only tifty-cne per thousand I'M
der one year of age. A showing which
proves US far behind IN the conservation
of childhood. which is one of the most
! important functions of the State, since
the future of the nation depends on the
welfare of it's children.
An Educational Campaign.
Realizing that the primary need for
success in welfare work is education,
| two special points were emphasized dur
ing Baby Week, and every effort made
to make these prominent and interest

No community is needless where little
children are concerned, once its attention
to conditions is aroused, and normal par
ents are anxious for their children's well
fare and glad to know of way to benefit
them, if only they can be convinced that
knowledge of child rearing needs to be
acquired, like knowledge on any other
subject, and that scientific baby rearing
requires at least as much study as is
given to the raising and improving of

Feeding.

Feeuill2.
The first and most vital need of the
baby is proper feeding. On this his
whole development depends. The ac-
quirement of healthy mind in healthy
body is the best possible inheritance
for any child, whatever the condition in
to which he is born.
There is no question that where the
mother is perfectly well and able to care
for her child, natures provision for his
maintenance is best, but there are so
many instances where the mother can
not provide adequate sustenance that
the question of artificial feeding must be
met, and satisfactorily solved if the
baby is to thrive.
Perfect cleanliness is an essential, for
with every possible precaution there is
danger that food will become infected
and will poison instead of sustaining the
child. Every utensil used in the prepar-
alton of the diet must be not only clean,
but sterilized, which is easily accom-
plished with steam or boiling water.
Cows milk comes nearest to mothers
milk in its constituents, but the baby's |
stomach will not digest what suits the
calf's, so the milk is diluted with boiled |
water, according to regulation formulas |
obtainable from people who make or
deal in infants foods. These need |
further special modification if the baby's |
condition indicates that he is not thirty |
ing properly.
Source of Supply.
Too much care cannot ne exercised to |
secure milk in perfect condition and of |
uniform quality. Few articles of diet |
deteriorate more quickly, or are more |
easily infected with poisonous germs,
and for this reason an increasing large |
percentage of intelligent people are
adopting eagle Brand" condensed milk
as the staple for babies diet. The high
est grade obtainable and perfectly ster-
lie, as it is possible for few other foods
to be, this can be had anywhere and is
always uniform in quality. Neither cold |
nor heat affects it, and the dilutions |
made with boiled water insure that the |
baby will not imbbe germs with his din
ner. In many cases it is we'll to use !
barley water for the dilution, as this |
supplies certain elements conducive to |
baby's growth and strength, especially !
for bone development
Environment.
Environment counts even more largely
tor the baby's happiness than it does
for older people. 1t shapes and moulds
him in his formation period and consti-
tutes him a worth while and happy
human or the reverse, but in the infant
state his world is very small, and if only
he has pure air he does uot mind Wheth
er it is obtained on a mountain or fire
escape. If his clothes are clean and
comfortable he is just as well satisfied
with cotton as with linen. He needs
loving care, and constant watchfulness
to guard him from the insidious enemies
that would otherwise destroy him, but
it does not matter at all to him at this
stage whether his home is in a cottage
or palace. He starts out with the fair
chance which is his right, if only his par

Horses ON STREETS
MUST Be PROTECTED

The police department is after drivers
who leave their horses standing on the
streets during snow storms or cold
weather without blankets. Concerning
the matter. Chief of Police Parker has
the following to say:
Parties leaving their horses stand
ing in the streets without blankets dur
ing snow storms or cold weather would
better give more attention to the mat
ter. Such neglect is cruelty to animals
and 1t must be stopped or vigorous
prosecutions will surely follow. For
several years I have been calling the
attention of drivers to this matter and
no further notice or warning is neces-
sary. If some of them are called upon
to pay fines through their neglect, they
should not blame my department. The
humane society is doing what it can to
alleviate the suffering of animals in
this respect and the peace officers have
been and are doing what they can to
aid it in the good work"

MUST HAVE POWER
TO BACK DEMANDS

Des Moines, Feb president Will
son, speaking here last night, dealt
with the futility of messages and words
of protest to meet breaches of inter
national law.
DO you want the situation to be
such that all the president can do is to
write messages and utter words of
protest?' he asked, in advocating pre-
paredness before the largest audience
of his present trip.
ITO ask that question is to answer
it," he said. Whenever international
law is violated by one or the other
belligerents." the president said,
america was called upon to register
a voice of protest, of insistence.
DO you want the situation to be
such that all the president can do is
to write messages and utter words Of
protest? If these breaches of inter-
national law which are in daily danger
of occurring should touch the honor Of
the United States, do you wish to do
nothing about it? Do you wish to have
all the world say that the flag of the
United States can be stained with i'm
unity?

within the hearing Of my voice who
would wish peace at the expense of

phatic gestures to enforce his words.

who are preaching war, the president
declared men who want the United
States to have entangling alliances
abroad. He said he did not think they
spoke the voice of America, which he
declared to be for peace.
He added that others go further than
he in advocating peace. "They preach
the doctrine Of peace at any price," he
said. while men in the audience called
