Is your baby happy all day long?
Then it is a we'll baby, and incident
lily. a great credit TO its mother. A
aughing growing child is evidence OF
lone woman's patience and intelli-
renee.
Summer puts a woman's maternG
instinct ~ the test. Then a mother
proves herself efficient or lazy. OF a
lweet or hasty temper. Her baby al
Vays reflects her own disposition.
Keeping the baby cool, clean. COM
portable and fed at regular intervals
With proper food in sterilized bottles
lhould constitute the vaoie duty OF
Mothers. Most Of them have heaps OF
,ther things to do.
Still they should take time, when
the thermometer rises above so de-
grees I'm the shade, to reduce baby's
temperature by taking off his clothes.
A flannel shirt and a diaper make
scientific costume for an infant on
hot breozeless day. while for the
shild that toddles a waist and drawers
and sleeveless slip are sufficient COW
sring.
OF course the intelligent mother
keeps the baby out Of a draft at all
times OF the year. In midsummer, she
adds shoes and stockings, gowns and
jackets as the wind rises or the
clouds thicken.
Night care Of a baby Is even more
important than daytime care when the
temperature is torrid.
The most airy room In the house
should be requisitioned for baby's
sleeping place. The government bull
letin on infant care advises the child
be kept out of the sun altogether, and
ont Of doors. II possible. during the

screened porch, he may sleep out all
night, provided he IS protected from
changes in the weather.
Wherever he sleeps, he should be
shielded from flies, mosquitoes and the
Wind. A diaper. band and loose cotton
gown is sufficient covering.
A baby should never be put down C
sleep in all Of his clothes. His shoes
and stockings should always be re
moved
But the baby's feet and abdomen
must be kept warm. The flannel banG

This amendment was calculated to
kill some hundred millions of tax-pay-
ing capital in the brewing industry,
without attaining any of the objects
which are supposedly at the heart of
the prohibition party. The manufac-
ture of whiskey, and of all spirituous
liquors, is based on age; and the longer
stock can be accumulated in bond, the
better the investment of the manu-
facture of spirits becomes. But the
manufacturer of beer does not profess
to sell old ale in any quantity to be
worth taxing. The logical consequence
of prohibiting the use of grain on the
Cummins' amendment would be to set
people who drink a comparatively
harmless beverage, to drinking whiskey
and other hard spirits.

NATIONAL NEWS NOTES.
Brief Bits of News and Comments On
Men and Measures.
NEGRO EXODUS is INCREASING
Desire to Earn Higher Wages and for
Better Conditions Socially, Presents
New. Problems to Both South and
North.

Chicago, Ill.-The exodus of Negroes
from the South to northern manufac-
turing points, stronger within the last
month or so, is regarded as likely to
increase considerably as the season adj
vances, and to continue throughout the
summer. Not more than a quarter of
those leaving the South, it is expected
VIII return. The condition is totally
without precedent since reconstruction
days.
As to the situation in Chicago, A. l..
Jackson, executive secretary of the
Wabash Avenue branch of the Y. NJ.
C. A, says: "The Negroes are COM
ing into Chicago pretty regularly, and
in larger numbers now. 1 had a man
watch the railroad stations recently
for 10 days, and the Police Department
also had a man take a careful census.
In one week they found 500 arrivals
and in another week from 1900 to 1900.
All, of course, do not stop in Chicago.
Many 60 on, to Waukegan, Indiana
Harbor and Gary, Detroit, Moline, and
various other manufacturing centers.
In two days my agent found two par
ties of from so to rs Negroes using
Chicago as transfer point. The flow
has been very steady through good
weather"
"The real reason for the migra-
tion,' continued Mr.. Jackson, himself
Negro, and an authority locally, els
the desire of the Negroes to better their
school, housing, social and sanitary
conditions. The exodus is coming for
the most part from Mississippi,
Georgia, and Louisiana, with Missis-
sippi leading and also from South Caro-
lima. Mississippi is leading because of
two conditions-lynch law and peon-
age. In Alabama and Virginia, So
called good States, they are not feel
ing the Negro migration, but in the
states with lynch law and poor school
ing, they are leaving in large numbers.
The readjustment of the Negro popula-
ton and higher wages will help them
all around, thinks Mr.. Jackson. In the
North better wages will raise the stan
dard of the Negroes; and in the South,
the shortage of them will make their
labor more valuable and increase their
bargaining power, assuring them more
consideration in those questions of law
enforcement, schools, housing and con-
ditions of cleanliness.

PROHIBITION IN WAR TIME.

New York, n. Y.-The Wall Street
Journal, the most influential publica-
ton among bankers, brokers, corpora
tions, and financial organizations of
New York, says: Given time enough,
even when talking too much, as it
customarily does, the United States
Senate is a deliberative body which
will correct the foolishness of the
lower house, most of the time, but I'M
fortunately, not all of the time. 1t is
sometimes foolish itself. But at least
it killed the amendment tackled on,
without rhyme or reason, to the
espionage bill by Senator Cummins,
prohibiting the use of grain in the
manufacture of alcohol.

HON. ALBERT H. PUTNEY HAS
MADE A SPLENDID RECORD IN
THE STATE DEPARTMENT AT
WASHINGTON, D. G.

Hon. Albert H. Putney, who was for
some years Dean of the Illinois College
of Law, in this city and later on the
founder and Dean of the Webster
School of Law, has for the past three
years been chief of the near Eastern
Division of the Department of State,
Washington, d. c.
He continues to make a splendid rec
ord in that direction.
In 1901, Prof. Putney was engaged
by the United States government, to
visit the PHILIPPINE Islands and to
write an official history for the govern
ment pertaining to its people, its re-
sources and prOduetiveness. His work
is the most authentic and reliable so
far evolved, in relation to those far
away islands.
Prof. Putney is warm admircr of

MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMP-
SON CONTINUES TO RIDE THE
POLITICAL WAVES.
Concluded from page ~

through plunGering the funds collected
for educating the children of Chicago
If it is true as Mayor Thompson
states that certain big interests in
connection with some of the members
of the board of EDUCATION have for
many years been engaged in robbing
the school children out of hundreds of
thousands of dollars then it is the
duty of every honest citizen to stand
by him to the last ditch and assist
him to right that great wrong.
One of the main reasons why the
Hon. Victor Lawson the head owner
of the Daily News bitterly hates Mayor
Thompson is the fact that in 1912 Mr..
Thompson was a candidate for the
nomination for member of the Board
of Review and at that time it was
plainly proven by Mr.. Thompson that
Mr.. Lawson was only paying thirty
eight dollars per year in taxes on his
one million dollar mansion which is
located on the Lake Shore Drive.
On the other hand the small poor
taxpayer was forced to pay his taxes
right up to the limit or his little home
which he was struggling to pay for
would be sold in order to make up the
full amount of taxes which Mr.. Law
son should pay on his one million dol
lar home.
The Chicago Tribune has no real
love for Mayor Thompson, first because
he is very friendly to Colored people
and second because he let all the world
know that the Tribune and the Daily
News are not paying one half of the
rent their owners should pay for the
school lands which their buildings
occupy.
Notwithstanding these apparent
facts, the owners of these two news
papers have the brass and gall to want
to dictate to Mayor Thompson whom
he must or must not select as members
of the board of education.

DRINK SAFE WATER.

Typhoid is frequently a water-borne
disease.
| By this it is meant that people con-
tract typhoid by drinking water that
contained typhoid germs And be-
cause of this danger the Department
of Health has for years issued its warn
ing and advice as to the danger of
drinking suspected water. Since
motoring is now one of the most popu-
lar of Summer pastimes, the same
dangers threaten tourists of this class
that are so often serious menace to
sojourners at the many summer resorts
which thousands of Chicago people
visit every year.
For the benefit then of Chicago 8
army of motor tourists and summer re-
sort jewellers and to insure the certain
ty of their having always at hand the
means for making a suspected water
safe and wholesome, the Health De-
partment Laboratory has prepared in
convenient form calcium hypoehlorite
tablets, and which may be had for the
asking on application at Room 707
City Hall. These tablets contain 20
to 30 milligrams of available chlorine
per tablet; are put up in glass walls
and if kept tightly stoppered in a cool,
dark place will retain their potency
for about four weeks.
Directions for use: Dissolve one
tablet by crushing between the fingers
in one quart of water in an ordinary
Mason jar, which should be sealed with
an air tight cap. The jar is then
shaken, contents allowed to settle, and
should be stored in a cool, dark place.
This is the stock solution and under
average conditions will last about one
week, after which it should be renewed.
To prepare water for drinking, take
one teaspoonful of the clear stock solu-
tion, avoiding the sediment, to one
eight-ounce glass of drinking water;
allow it to stand for Is minutes, when
it is ready for drinking and will be
safe. If it is suspected that the water
is heavily polluted, two teaspoonfuls
of the stock solution should be used to
each eight-ounce glass of water. If it
is desired to make up a daily supply,
ready for use, it can be done by adding
four teaspoonsfuls of the stock solu-
tion to each quart of water.
