(United Press staff Correspondent
LONDON. April 19.-(By MaiD-To
make good the tremendous war-toll
on British manhood. a Ministry OF
Health will soon be added to the
Government. charged with the task Of
preventing $4,000 infant deaths every
year. Authorities on infant welfare
estimate that at least 1000 children,
younger than one year. die needlessly
every week. They declare thai IL the
virility Of the race is to be maintained
in spite of the battlefield losses. this
motality must be checked. The esti-
mate includes a large percentage Of
preventable prenatal losses, due to
various causes arising from poverty.
A falling birth-rate, in spite of in.
creased marriages, will probably
cause the baby-bonus to insured
mo hers TO be increased from seven
dollars to twenty-five. In 1915 Eng
land and Wales had the lowest birth
rate on record, opposed to the highest
marriage rate. The provisional esti-
mate Of births in 1916 is only 22.G
to every thousand of population a fig
ure slightly above that of 1915.
The proposed ministry will try TO do
away with overlapping efforts by
various branches OF the medical pro-
fession. Lord Rhondda, in prepar-
ing the Health Ministry Bill. will be
aided by the advice OF the British
Medical Association which represents
most Of the doctors. The Health Min
lister will have power 20 act In all
matters OF public health.
In addition 10 the twenty-five dol
lar birth-premium. il is hoped that
poor mothers embraced in the insur-
ance scheme will receive an increased
sick-benefit during convalescence.
When Llovd George brought out the
insurance act he placed the premium
payments at a rate within reach OF
the poor. He was careful to divorce
the act from all governmental chart
ties and his policy will be carried out
IN the administration OF the health
department
Il will he impossible to tackle the
housing problem in a positive man
ner until after the war. Meantime
the proposed ministry can check any
further deterioration in nelghbor-
hoods where physical conditions are
notoriOuslv adverse to child life. The
ministry also will be able to give i'm
mediate relief in the food situation

OF milk to feed poor mothers and

there is plenty of air circulation.
If possible, where a little heat
may be applied to insure per-
feet drying and curing. This is
urged upon every farmer whose
corn was beginning to dent when
the frost came.
If your corn is not frosted,
or but very slightly frosted, it
will not be necessary to take ac-
tion at once. But for best quail
|ity Of seed the corn should be
cut as soon as the majority of
the ears are dented. This forces
the drying Of the corn, and in
three or four weeks it will be
ready to husk and store in the
seed room. The ordinary corn
crib is no place for seed corn.
Do not let the corn freeze even
after the ears are dry.
Test each individual ear for
termination before shelling for
seed.
Leave the corn on the ear un-
til just before planting, then tip
and butt the ears and shell the
middles together for seed.
Don't forget that corn stover
from fields cut when the corn is
| in the dough stage is valuable
feed for cattle. Horses may be
wintered on stover, and sheep
will eat the leaves and husks
with relish.
Good corn for feeding will be
scarce. What about keeping and
feeding hogs and cattle? For
/ the hogs plant fall rye for early
spring pasture. They can in this
way be kept and an increase
looked forward to with profit,
The cattle can be Wintered on

Seed Corn For 1918.
Situation, Due to Frost, DOubly
Serious, Says Food Commit
tees Bulletin.

Emergency measures to con-
serve Minnesota's seed corn sup
ply for next year, and to save
damaged corn for feed this win
ter, are outlined in a bulletin
issued last week by A. D. Viii
son, for the State Foods com
mittee. The situation, Mr.. Will
son says, is ''doubly serious"
this year. Every farmer is urged
to pick out seed corn not only
for himself, but for three 9th
ers, as frost damaged some sec
tions so badly corn in those
sections is likely to be unfit for
seed.
Not 10 per cent Of the corn
was dented when the frosts of
Sept. 9 and 10 came, the bulle-
tin says. Seed dealers have no
adequate storage facilities and
cannot be relied on for a large
supply, so it is up to the farm
T ers themselves.
I'm view Of these facts" the
bulletin says, there are few
pointers and urgent requests
which the State Foods commit
tee wishes to place before the
farmers in order to make the
most possible out of an unfor
tunate situation.
Minnesota will need 100000
bushels Of seed corn for 1918
spring planting.
| Ninety-two per cent of the
states corn crop is grown south
Of line drawn through st
Cloud.
| The average acreage of corr
per farm in Minnesota is ap'
proximately 20. The average
farmer needs at least eight bush
els Of seed corn, not counting
for fodder.
| Fifteen to 25 ears of corn arr
REQUIRED to plant an acre undel
normal conditions.
Thirty to SO ears Of this years
corn will be required to CIV
good seed for each acre planted
| in 1918.

hung up in an airy place to dry
GOOD seed can be saved on ev

er III the use of His time. The
minute that does not produce
something is not only . wasted
minute, out q costly minute to-
somebody. Many q man fails
because he cannot get results
from labor.
Children should be taught to
regard the time they are not in
school as an opportunity to earn
money. It should not be idle
time, or merely play time, for
the child does not need recrea-
tion so much as change of oc-
cupation. Most Of us play too
much; and the child that is
taught to turn the out Of school
hours into recreation that brings
returns has learned one Of life's
most helpful lessons.
The young man or woman
starting out in a business career
needs to learn the same lesson
that the time out Of business
is not merely for play, but for
self improvement. It is not what
you do from eight and six that
brings business success, but what
you do from six to eight. Visit
any of the Young Mems Chris
tion Associations that run study
classes, or the night schools, and
you will find body of young
men and women who properly
value the spare time business
! allows and are using it for self
improvement. These are marked
men. They are bound to win.
They will get somewhere be
cause they are willing to pay
the price in self denial. They
figure that three or four nights
La week for a year or two will
add materially to their power to
do, and power to do commands
its compensation. We pay trained
men, and nowhere is training SC
easily, to be had as in the spare
hours.
A young man applied to a bank
recently, saying that he hao
