All live in the Land of Prattle;
That they're wonderful folk, we have
no doubt,
But more than that we can't find out.
Though we've tried ofttimes, by
various route,
When baby plays with his rattle.
"of whom are you talking. my baby
dear?
Is 'A-da-da- a wondrous seer.
Is "A-bo- bo-bo' a person to fear,
In the wonderful Land of Prat-

But baby just answers "A-ma-ma-

"a diddle- e-diddle-dattle" or ABA
ba-ba"!
And plays right on with his rattle
He laughs "Diddle-diddle-diddle-

And he cries "Diddle-d ddle-diddle"l
just like that;
And he COOS 'Diddle-dat!" and

On the lore of the Land OF

But when we question he shakes his
Or he cries It'll he grows all funny

And we lay him down in his trundle
bed.
For he's thrown to the winds his
rattle!
It may be someday. as we go our
way,
When we've grown real simple and
old and gray.
Or have reached second childhood"
as some folk say.
We may come to the Land of

Where Wen learn all about Ada

And we'll find what he means with
his "Ba-ba-ba".
AS he sits and plays with his
rattle.
But now we're so full of our wisdom
and might,
We are so much concerned over
darkness and light,
We are tossed between doctrine and
creed, wrong and right,
And closed is the Land of Prattle;
When we leave all our searchings
for knowledge of men.
When we come back to childhood
and love-life again,
We may understand baby's Dada
and "Nan-nan!"
AS he sits and plays with his

THE LIGHT THAT FAILED

ment of the Democratic whip
pro tempore of the Senate, "of the
Senator from Illinois (Mr. Lewis)
on official business
This is very impressive, and doubt
less Senator Ham" Lewis had a
proper realization of the seriousness
of the Official business" on which
he was engaged. When the an
nouncement was made Mr.. Lewis
was representing the administration
in the First Congressional district
of New Hampshire, vainly endeav-
oring to persuade the voters that a
Democrat should be sent to Congress
to fill the vacancy in that district
in order to stand by the Presi-
dent"
Judging by the returns. however,
the thousands of farmers in that
section OF the Granite State did not
seem to take the pink-whiskered
one seriously. and 1t is whispered
that his presence even made votes
for the successful Republican can
didate.

FOOD OR DRINK?

1.-THE authorities at Washington
= unite in telling us that we mus
conserve our food supplies or &C
hungry before another summer roll:
around. Grains in particular we are
urged to save in every way possible
The House OF Representatives has
voted to forbid the use of such grains
in the making OF alcoholic beverages
during the period of the war. The
Senate is hesitating on the threshold
OF making the same decision.
1t has come down finally to this
Shall We have food. or drink? Shall
those who do not choose to burn up
their stomachs with rum or ruin
their kidneys with beer, stand by and
see themselves and their children
hungry because a besotted or self
indulging minority insists upon turn
ing millions upon millions of bushels
of grain from food into poison?
Why should the abstainers OF the
country cut down their daily supply
of bread in order that whiskey. beer
and wine drinkers may both eat and
drink?
So long as food products are used
in the manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages during the shortage of grains,
so long will provision conservation
be burlesque and restricted diet a
grim Jest.
The Senate can do but one con-
sistent thing-pass the war prohibi-
ton measure already approved by
the House.

NOT A HELP TO SUFFRAGE

1t is unfortunate for the cause of
equal suffrage that none of its
friends happened to be around when
the women who are picketing the
White House displayed the unpatri-
otto placards which a crowd later
tore down. The women who were
guilty of this foolish and anti-Amer-
ican demonstration before the Rus
sian ENJOYS have only injured their
cause.
If the suffragists expect to retain
the confidence which the country has
been showing in increasing measure
toward their claims they will sup
press those Ill balanced zealots in
their ranks who seem to imagine
that the Nations necessity is their
opportunity. America needs its wom-
en- in this war and expects their act
i've aid and sympathy. II they want
the right to vote it is hoped they will
get ii, but those who put that right
above their country's right to their
undivided support in war are friends
neither to their country nor the
cause of uffrage.-Kansas City

CAN AND PRESERVE

~ VERY housewife should heed
n the advise of Robert ]. Walton,
fruit and vegetable grower,
published by the TELEGRAPH a few
days since. Mr.. Walton points to the
fact that truckers have put out un-
usually large acreages this summer
and the increased crops from these,
together with the produce from hun
dreds OF home-gardens, will make
canning and preserving necessary
on a greater scale than ever, if ex-
tensive wastage is to be prevented.
Prices for tomatoes, beans, peas,
corn and other vegetables of the
kind in quantities promise to be rea-
sonable, due to the promise of un-
usually large yields. and every house
keeper should see to it that the pre-
serve shelf is full and that there are
no empty jars or tin cans in the
house when the preserving season
ends.
The preserving of green beans and
beets in salt and the drying of corn
and peas are matters that should be
given widest attention, due to the
shortage OF canning receptacles.
1t should be remembered that
farmers and market-gardeners have
responded generously to the govern
ment's request for larger planting
this year and with bigger crops than
ever in prospect they face the COM
petition of myriads of home gardens
that were not in existence last year,
Next spring, unless these growers
find a market for their wares this
year, they will not plant so much. II
is matter of justice to them and
precaution against shortage next
year that the public take off their
hands all the surplus possible and
can or otherwise preserve 1t fol-
winter use. We must see to it that
the patriotic efforts of these men
who have put their money and labor
into perishable crops for our especia
benefit, are not discouraged.

Slot Machine Cabaret
tFrom the New York Herald

tFrom the New York Herald
One may drop a coin in a slot and
get stick of gum in the machines

drop coin in the slot and get a
piece of pie in the "automat."
But now coin may be dropped in
a slot for a vaudeville act. 1t is all
very simple. Thomas Healy, who
runs the restaurant he named after
himself, says so. He calls it the
taxi cabaret"
Within a few days, Mr.. Healy an
nounces, telephones will be installed
at the tables in his upstairs and
downstairs restaurants. After that
those dining at Healy's may drop a
coin-Mr. Healy does not say how
large a one-and get a connection
which will enable him to order from
the program of entertainment. You
may order a trick dancer or a
dreamy soprano. Those who fail to
get what they order will have their
coins returned just as in the gum
machines, when they are empty. OF
course, everybody can't be salts
