More women fifteen to forty-five
years Of age die from conditions con-
nected with childbirth than from any
disease except tuberculosis. Some To-
600 mothers lives are sacrificed yearly
to ignorance and improper care. In
connection with Baby Week, the Chill
dren's bureau calls special attention to
these facts, for three reasons:
1. The life and health Of the mother
are essential to the health and we'll
being Of her children.
2. The majority of these mothers
lives could be saved.
3. The number of deaths among
mothers is merely rough index OF
unmeasured preventable illness and
suffering.
Just how adequate care for mothers
is to be assured depends, Of course, on
local conditions, but DR.. Grace l.

exercise, diet, sleep and perseverance.
Our want of breath, out of wind
feeling indicates, in Dr.. Kelly's opin-
ion, the essential need of air, an en-
largement of lung capacity Open win
dows are naturally desirable; deep
breathing imperative. Water, next to
air, is our most manifest necessity. In
the earlier stages of reconstruction
three or four quarts are needed and
should be taken slowly Exercise and
self massage are potent promoters of
nutrition, las well as conducive to agil-
ity. In diet one should observe the

EAT SPUDS

This country has 150,000,000 million
more bushels of potatoes than last
year. Spuds are an annual crop and
must be used before another season.
The two articles that are scarce in
this country are meat and wheat. Eat
potatoes and save the wheat for the
soldiers. A liberal use of potatoes
should be the watchword in every no.
tel restaurant and home. Not only
should this plan be followed, but there
should be encouragement to raise
large crop next year The Sank Coun-
ty Horticultural society should plan a
campaign along this line, if they are
to encourage field and garden products
as well as the cultivation of fruit.

HISTORIC CHIMES DOOMED

The bells of Bruges are gone. For
700 years the town has been vibrant
with the peal of carillons from dozen
celebrated shrines It is silent now.
With the bells of Bruges there went,
almost on the same day, those of Iseg-
hem, textile town to the southwark
and those of Roulers Fate itself must
grow a trifle bewildered as the antique
chimes of Belgium are wrenched,
clanking, from their towers. Hungary
is no longer the friend of Belgian
princes. The carillons that for CEN
turtles have translated the events Of
Flemish history into music are at this
moment melting into guns for the ally
of Hungary and the rayage of Flan-
ders. 1t is not improbable that its
own bells will bring many a stately
cathedral crashing to the ground.-H.

AMERICAS INDICTMENT OF
GERMANY

Who wants the military power in
Germany to win? Carl N Alderman
has prepared Americas indictments
against Germany and among other
things he says:
If the United States were to disre-
gard absolutely every argument which
the allies have for fighting Germany
there would still be so many Ameri-
can indictments against the German
government that no American could
have a different opinion from that of
president Wilson.
Germany sank the Lusitania and
killed more than 100 Americans and
never apoIogized for it.
Germany sank the Hncona, killed
more Americans and blamed Austria.
Germany sank the Arabic and tor
pedoed the Sussex.
Germany promised after the attack
on the Sussex to warn all merchant
ships before torpedoing them and then
in practice threw the pledges to the
winds and ended by breaking all prom
ises.
Germany started antiAmericsn
propaganda in Germany.
The German government made the
German people suspect and hate
President Wilson.
Germany supplied Russia and Rou.
mania with arms and ammunition and
criticized America for permitting
American business men to aid the
allies.
Germany plotted against American
factories.
Germany tried to stir Mexico and
Japan to make war on the United
States.
Germany tried to destroy American
ammunition factories.
Germany blamed the United States
for her food situation without explain
ing to the people that one of the rea-
sons the pork supply was exhausted
and there was no sugar was because
Minister of the Interior DeIbrueck or
dered the farmers to feed sugar to the
pigs and then to slaughter them, to
save fodder.
Germany encouraged and financed
German-Americans in their campaigns
in the United States.
Germany paid American writers for

DR.. JORDAN THEN AND NOW

DR.. David Starr Jordan, who has
been called a first magnitude star in
the milky way of pacifsm,' and who
has been prominently mentioned in
connection with the peoples council
propaganda, in 1913 believed that a
militant Germany should be crushed,
according to DR.. James Macdonald,
editor of The Toronto Globe. In an
dnterview in The Chicago Post, DR..
Macdonald stated that DR.. Jordan
had written him of meeting of 400
German-Americans, addressed by Gen.
Bernhard in San Francisco in 1913, in
which the general delineated in a
brutally frank way the program of
German militarists and their indiffer-
ence to questions OF morals, interna-
tienal rights and treaties. DR.. Jordan
declared that if Bernhardi's views and
principles were adopted by Germany
Europe would have to crush it like a
nest of snakes, and there would be no
peace until the work was done" He
saw Germany accept the Bernhard
doctrine, but apparently changed his
opinion about the crushing out pro-
cess, change which DR. Macdonald
is unable to explain.

PROLONGTNG A MANS LIFE

The average age of today is 40, and
if a man lives till then he has the
probability of living twenty or thirty
years longer. At fifty the probability
rs twenty-five years; if he reaches
sixty he has a chance of eleven OF
twelve years more. But his activity
and endurance have usually been di
unfinished, even though he retain his
strength, by his sedentary habits. AS
all the diseases to which elderly peo-
pie are subject are durable, except
cancer, a man past middle life may
increase his probabilities and regain
his endurance to a marked degree,

Fine Trip to Washington

Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Savage $40
Fifth street, have received the fol-
lowing letter from their grsndson,
Ernest Savage, who is now at Ameri-
can Lake. Wash.
Dear Grandparents and All:
Well, here / am eleven hundred
miles from mother and no bell on,
Landed here last night and was hard
at drill this morning. The drilling
| had in Baraboo certainly helps
some.
Had a very nice trip out here. En-
joyed the mountain scenery very much
but along toward the last it became
tiresome, as it is all about the same.
Had three-hour lay-over at Tacoma
SO that gave me chance to see a.
little of the city. Camp Lewis is
only thirteen miles from Tacoma.
There are about $4,000 men here.
Some were shipped out the other day
Have not been examined yet, but
feel pretty confident of passing. Have.
been through three exams. Passed
two and in the other the doctor who
rejected me could not tell what was
the matter, SO l do not worry about
that.
Received some clothes today. Was
supposed to have received a uniform
today, but for some reason did not.
We have every Wednesday and Sat-
urday afternoon to ourselves, as well
as Sunday There certainly is fine
bunch of fellows here. All members
of the company am in are from
Montana All jolly and Iull of fun.
Had charge of the bunch of fellows
from Billings here. In drill today L
was put in as pivot man, but do not
know how long l will last.
Will write more from time to time.
Love to all. Your grandson,

THE WILL OF MRS. ALEXANDER

THE WILL OF MRS. ALEXANDER
Mrs. C. B. Alexander, in making her
will, manifested the proper spirit by
leaving to the Presbyterian church, to
which she belonged, a portion of her
estate, and sums to other organiza-
tons. When a person has resided in
a community for many years it is no
more than proper that the public
should be remembered in some way.
1t shows appreciation to leave money
to church or other society in the
community. The Mills family at Mad
ison has endeared their memories on
that community for a long time to
come by leaving a portion of the es-
tate where it will be appreciated in
this day and in the days to come. 1t
was the same with the Stewards and
Others
True, the family should come first,
but where there are no near relatives
or where there is ample, why not give
to the organizations which are near to
one.
Here is a list to which one might
properly make a bequest:
The proposed Baraboo hospital.
The proposed Baraboo Community
home for aged people, now incorpor-
ated.
The Y. M. C. A. or ones favorite
church,
For the upkeep of road or for
public park
The library, historical society or
other organization.
By bequeathing to these, ones name
is inseparably linked with the COM
munity, possibly for centuries to come
1t can be so stipulated the interest
only is to be used and in that way
the principal is kept intact, and the
memory of the family or Individual for
all time revered.

HaGJs Hay and Oats at Waco

Mrs. j. Virgins has received a let
ter from her grandson, First Sergeant
G. e. Hackett, 1st Garrison Co., 107
Ammunition, Camp Macarthur, Waco
Texas. The letter in part reads as
follows:
Dear Grandma:
received the cap and wristlets yes
terday and was glad to get them, al
though the weather we are having
just at the present time isn't cold
enough to need them, it may be soon
and after we get to France they sure
will come in handy. The 32d division

ing now in preparation for it. l do
not think I shall have to go on it, be.
cause / am hauling hay and oats for
our horses and mules today. We have
189 head of horses and II mules for
the use. of our company Every fif-
teen days we draw about fifteen tons
of oats and twenty tons of hay.
have three four-mu1e teams hauling
now. | have an individual mount, and
he is dandy, think. Of course, my
knowledge of horses is limited, but
he suits me all right We drill on
horses now, and / sure was sore and
stiff for a few days. / don't notice
it much now.
Last Saturday they took us out on
a twelve mile hike as infantry, that
is, on foot. We left camp at 900
o'clock and returned at 11:30 That
is pretty good walking, / think My
feet bothered me q little in the in
step and | was afraid of broken arch
es. They are practically all right
now.
Right now this community is in the
throes of a sort of young exposition
called the Cotton Palace. 1t is quite
similar to the county fairs we have
up north, only upon a little larger
scale. Instead of being county af-
fair, it is owned and controlled by
the citizens of Waco. Every effort
is put forth to please the soldiers in
lily Iohc1AAy, ~ ClA0C Ii1CJ Will put III
a good word for this place for can
torment This is the first year that
troops have ever been here, and the
people aren't a bit bashful about say
ing that having these soldiers here
is all that saved Waco and the sur
rounding community this year, be-
cause they have had no rain to speak
Of for the past year. Crops here
were an utter failure on account of
drought.
Tonight as am writing taps" has
blown and have just finished taking
the night report. That is one of my
numerous CD duties. must put the
company to bed at night and get it
up in the morning before O'clock.

oughly enjoy the work. Never felt
better in my life.
