HEALTH HINTS

Infant mortality has been reduced
so per cent. in this country in the last
. years. Yet the death rate is still
appalling.
The lessened death rate is due large,
ly to efforts to prevent disease. 1t
is simpler, safer and cheaper to keep
the baby well than to cure it after
it has become sick.
In baby-asaving campaigns efforts are
usually directed along three lines.
They are hygiene, diet and protection
from infectious disease.
The room in which the baby spends
much of his time has great deal to
do with the health of the child The
room should be well ventilated, with
an abundance of sunlight and protec.

AZURE.
A daily bath for baby is not lux.
ury. 1t is vital need. The skin
should be carefully dried after the
bath
The eyes require little special at.
tention after the first day of life. At
that time they should be treated by
the physician. The ears need no spe.
cial care.
Babys mouth should be left alone
until after the teeth have pierced the
gums. After the child has cut its
first teeth a small tooth brush should
be used regularly.
The small child should be kept away
from every sick person. Babies are
especially sensitive to tuberculosis.
They must be protected from every
source of infection, both human and in
the milk supply. Usually the seed OF
tuberculosis is sown in infancy, al
though this is not generally known.

SUBMARINE WAR A FAILURE?
Arthur Pollen, Noted British Expert,
Says Germany's Last Hope
Has Broken Down.

New York, Nov 16.-Arthur Pol
len, noted British war expert, has
made the following statement to the
Associated Press on the submarine
war:
Anything unsatisfactory in the mil
itary and political situation in Europe
is balanced by the extraordinary news
that the German submarine campaign
has broken down altogether. The sub
marine is defeated. This is the most
momentous event since the United
States declared war 1t means we can
all stay in and that America can
really come in.
"Six months ago shipping was
being destroyed, according to some
authorities. at a rate of million tons
year. Had this loss continued the
Germans had the right to expect not
indeed military victory, but a peace
that would mean something much
less than defeat.
'This was Germans only hope and
it was the Allies only anxiety. Every
one knew that, with sea communica-
ton reasonably safe, the military de-
feat of the German army was GER
tain.

MINERS TO STAND
BY GOVERNMENT
The Convention at Kansas City
Votes Down Resolution
Calling Strike.
REVERSED FORMER ACTION
President HoWzt of Kansas Urged
WaIkout to Last-FinaI Vote
1873 to 1866.

Kansas City, Nov. 16.-The coal
miners of the Southwest will accept
the automatic" penalty clause which
DR.. H. A. Garfield, federal fuel admin
istrator, says must go into their con-
tract before the wage increase, agreed
upon by the operators in Kansas City,
October %, goes into effect. After be-
ing in session four days. the delegates
from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and
Arkansas last night voted down, 1873
to 166, a resolution to call a strike
throughout the district unless the
operators granted the wage increase
without the automatic penalty
clause.
Immediately another resolution was
adopted instructing officials of the
three Southwestern districts to meet
the officials Of the Southwestern In
terstate Coal Operators Associa ton
and obtain a contract embodying the
wage increase previously agreed upon,
and containing penalty clause as sat
isfactory as possible which still shall
be acceptable to Doctor Garfield. The
resolution provides the wage increase
shall take effect as Sf November 1.
Howat Urged the Strike.
The convention, all the sessions OF
which have been open, then adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman,
Alexander HoWat, president of the
Kansas district No. IA It is believed
the officials will report the result of
their negotiations with the operators
before tonight.
Yesterdays final action of the con-
vention reversed it's action of We'd
nesday night, when by a vote of 185
to 167 it adopted resolution refusing
to accept the automatic" clause.
Throughout the two days debate How
at, alone among the officers of the
Southwestern districts, fought against
acceptance Of the clause.
Howat asserted the operators should
be required to pay the wage advance
without being granted an increase in
coal prices.
Three for Work and More Pay.
d. A. Frampton, president of the
Missouri District No. 25; John Wilkin-
son, president of the Arkansas and
Oklahoma District No. 81, and Arch
Helm, vice-president of District No. 25,
pleaded with the delegates to accept
the Objectionable clause because there
was nothing else to do, and rejection
would be construed as rebellion
against the government.
