WRITES on .FEEDING THE BABY
Miss Louise Stanley Says Natural
NOurishment Is Better.

Every baby has right to the food
nature has provided for him. and it
is the duty of every mother to do all
in her power to make this food avail
able" says Miss Louise Stanley, as
sociate professor of the home econ
Omics department. in a recently pub
lished bulletin on Feeding the Baby
Mothers would perhaps be more
anxious to do this and more serious
in their attempts to nurse the baby
if they realized the importance of this
food to the child"
Miss Stanley explains in detail the
advantages of natural food compared
with artificial food for the baby. She
also discusses the conditions under
which a baby should be weaned. In
the second division of the bulletin
there is an extensive explanation of
Artificial Feeding of Babies"
Bulletin No. 9 may be obtained upon
request to the Extension Division

COMMON CORNBREAD

Opportunity has knocked at corn
breads door Spurned and ignored
by so many of us for years. it has
been doing its part in feeding those
of us who work and toll and for
whom lightbread and biscuits are
Sunday and holiday luxuries.
The war and its consequent effects
on the cost of living have taken corn
bread from its humble station in life
and placed il alongside of other saw
iors OF the country. Wheat bread is
for the idle rich at the present price
of -four. Ii is the aristOcratic and
naughty tyrant of the food world, and
like the aristOcratic upper class of
some of our people. is fast losing
power in the face of new conditions.
There are some persons. no doubt,
who have never eaten corn pOne or
gems They are more familiar with
potatoes au gratin and other arti-
cles of food that embarrass the hotel
guest who doesn't know his French.
But cornbread is known for its prop
erty of sticking to the ribs. Eaters
of cornbread don't haunt dansants, af-
feet wrist watches or absorb cocktails
and cigarettes They are the men
who do things whether it's guiding a
plOw or battleship. That's how corn
bread affects them. And, judging from
the lack of interest in recruiting. it's
time someone passed the cOrnbread.
As a suggestion from the kitchen
editor, gather bushel or SO of dan
delion greens. add one portion of hog
jowl, bake several portions of corn
bread and laugh at the high cost of
living.

Had the Hague Peace Conference

rather than rules of war destined to
be cynically disregarded under the

FREE THINKING

The right of free thinking is vital
to Americans and to the press of the
United States.
This is time when the dissenter
is called Stacker and a variety of
opinions are in circulation. There is
no doubt that the American people are
united in the cause of democracy and
humanity
In the rush of preparedness. many
plans are finding their way into the
public vision. plans for armament,
plans for conscription, plans for food
conservation and increase and plans
of general preparedness. Opposition
to the methods of any of these plans
is not stamping a person who holds
them as pro-German or a Stacker
No patriot, no American, wishes to
oppose a plan which he feels will
bring Germany to terms as quickly as
possible. Yet he may have an honest
conviction as to the best means of do
ing such thing. and it is from the
amalgamation of opinions that Ameri-
can public sentiment is made.
Broadmindedness is an essential
American trait Because We disagree
with another is no cause for condem-
nation-the opinion of the second per-
son may be his own conviction, and
we should respect it as much as he.
in turn. should respect our opinion.
Every man is within his rights in
expressing his opinion as to what he
deems wise and proper under the cir
cumstances. The right of dissent, the
right of criticism and the right of un-
hampered thought and expression are
vital to the American people and to
the American press.
We have entered into this war as a
protest against German autocracy-

fOriBinaD
Once there lived a little Eirl whose
name was Helen. She had long white
crrls and great big blue eyes and
rosy cheeks. She was SO very pretty
that every one that saw her admired
her. Helen lived in tho country, far
away on little mountain Her mother
was very I'll 80. OF course, she had to
do all the work that was to be done.
She had TO get up early In the morning
and milk cows. feed horses and pigs,
and then come back In the house and
cook breakfast for herself and her
mother. Helen's mother was very poor,
and her father was dead and her
mother couldn't afford to send her to
school. few months later Hclen's
mother got we'll and began to do all
the work she could possibly do. Hal
iowe'en was now coming on. All the
little children that lived near Helen
were planning to have a Halloween
party At Helen's house, which neither
Helen nor her mother knew anything
about. All tho boys were going to
bring the prizes and all kinds Of funny
things. and the girls were going to
bring the decorations and refreshments.
II was more like 4 surprise party than
Halloween party. because Helen nor
her mother knew nothing about It
Inc admission was to be 10 cents. At
last Halloween night came. The peo-
pie started TO coming t. Helen's house
as soon as the dish washing was over.
soon "a the first one came in they
told Helen and her mother what was
going to be there. They were very
much surprised. First they had re-
freshmcnts and then the prizes were
given away for rinning the donkey's
tail on and different other funny things.
Helen and her mother got two beau
;iful prizes and they also had a lovely
time. Twelve o'clock came and every
body got ready 10 go homo, which they
hated very much. Tho proceeds was
$50. Helcn's mother had some more
money. so she put II all together and
bought Helen and herself a beautiful
home In the city. After they had moved
to their new home. Helen's birthday
came and she was eighteen years old
Soon. after hard work, she became &C
luaintcd with n handsome young man.
ana soon married h.m. She went to
housekeeping. and took care OF her
mother the rest or her life. and they
lived happy ever afterwards.
