Not only is the government ask
ng us to econ omize in food and
to conserve everything that tends
waste, but, in the Official Bull
letin of a recent date, Postmaster
General Bnrleson requests the
people of the United States to be
economical in the use of postage
stamps. This does not mean to
spend less money for stamps, but
to help the government to econo-
mize by using one two cent stamp
rather than two one cent stamps
or one ten cent stamp rather than
two five cent stamps. 1t is cheap
Ell to the government to use one
ten cent stamp on a parcel post
package than some other combi-
nation requiring several stamps.
The cost of printing a one cent
stamp is as great as is the cost of
printing a ten cent stamp or any
other denomination. The govern
ment could save many thousands
of dollars on this item alone if ev-
eryone in the United States would
assist in theconservation of stamps.
1t would positively be no trouble
to the people and is one way by
which we could substantially help
our government. -Tipton Record.

DANISH PEOPLE ARE
JOINING THE COLORS.
Eleven Young Men Enlist at Elk
Horn, Ten of Them Entering
the Navy. Given ROus-
ing Farewell.

That the Danish people are do
ing their bit" in the present war
was evidenced anew Sunday at Elk
Horn, when, as the result of big
patriotic meeting held at the college
eleven men enlisted in Uncle Sam S
service and two others signified their
intention of so doing. OF those
who enlisted, ten enlisted in the
navy and one in the national guard.
OF those enlisting in the navy
seven are from Elk Horn. They are
Alfred Hansen, Soren Nielsen, Geo.
Esbeck, Martin Hansen, Peter Mel
sen, Nels Larsen, Einar Petersen.
Three of the naval recruits are from
Kimballton, Nels Kirk, Leonard Es-
beck and Hans Nielsen. One from
Kimballton, Fred Nisader, enlisted
in the national guard, John Olsen
and George Nissen of Elk Horn will
also likely enlist in the navy. The
meeting was addressed by Jim
Freese, mayor of Elk Horn, and
others.
Quite a number of Audubon
people were present at the farewell
given these young men, and all of
them report that patriotism and en-
thusism is running high in both
places. Large delegations from
both Kimballton and Elk Horn will
be in the city today TO attend the
patriotic meeting.

SELLS BUSINESS INTERESTS
After Many Years of Successful Bust
ness Life He DispOses of Ex-
tensive Business Enterprise

1t was the source of much sur
prise last Friday when it became
generally known that F. A. Buthweg
had sold his clothing store to the
Kraft Clothing Co., a concern which
owns number of clothing stores in
different parts in Iowa C. F. Kraft,
the general manager of the corpora
ton was here to close up the deal,
and while looking about for another
location he was told that Audubon
was among the best county seat
towns in the state. 1t did not take
him long to arrive at the conclusion
that he had been properly informed.
The store was closed Tuesday and
will remain closed until tomorrow
when the invoicing task will have
been completed. The Republican ex-
tends the glad hand of fellowship to
the new owners and hopes they will
he as well pleased with Audubon as
they had anticipated.
We regret to lose Mr.. Buthweg
from the business circles of the city.
He has been so closely identified
with the growth and progress of the
town that it will not seem quite
right without his counsel and adj
wise For many years he conducted
a grocery business and almost four
teen years ago he engaged in the
clothing business in his present To-
caion. He has been a firm believer
in the use of printers ink. and he
owes a great deal of his success to
the judicious use of advertising
space.
Mr.. Buthweg owns large tract of
land in Audubon county and he has
been so busy looking after his farm
ing interests that he deemed it adj
visible to relinquish his business
holdings We hope that in doing so
II will not mean that he proposes to
leave Audubon. No matter what he
intends doing in the future, or where
he will cast his lot, the best wishes
of a host of friends will follow him.

MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED

Last Friday evening twenty-five
men of the community answered the
first call for drill in the new COM
pany unit that is being organized in
Audubon county. The object of the
organization is to enlist men to join
the army, the enlistment being only
for the period of the war. The I'M
favorable weather prevented many
Others from attending who had
planned to be at the first drill. The
bugle call brought many to the hall
to see what was going to take place.

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
Growth and Development of Baby

make his flesh so firm and muscu-
lar?"
Il guess il is firm because he exer-
cises so much Even when he was
very tiny l put him on the table,
freed his feet and from clothing and
encouraged him to kick. He has
never had very soft bed. because l
don't believe in too much feathers
they are so heating and | never kept
him in his cab when he was in doors
because il cramped his limbs. 1t
don't seem TO me that some babies
have a chance TO get strong because
they are not given an opportunity to
use their muscles very often"
when should my baby sit alone?"
THAT is a hard question to answer
exactly because babies differ so in
their development but a strong child
will begin to sit up at four or five
months and sit alone at ten or eleven
months. Fat babies are usually
slower than those that carry less
weight. Some babies walk early and
talk late while some talk early and
are slower in their physical control
of their bodies
Il wish we had more exact know
ledge about babies. don't your"
Yes. and | believe we will know
more about them in many ways be-
fore long | noticed in the paper that
the Legislature has appropriated a
large sum of money to the university
to be used for the study of the nor
NAL child. They say that although
many have studied lame and blind
and sick babies this is the first time
any one has undertaken to do re-
search work with normal baby.
Won't it be fine when we mothers
can write to our University and ask
for literature and help of different
kinds in our baby raising problems.
just as a stock man can now write
to the state college for help in stock
raising?'
"Yes, and we certainly need help.
Most of us undertake the raising of
family without any preparation
whatever 1t is a great wonder that
more babies don't die the first year"
/ Statistics say that a baby dies
every time the clock ticks. That
means a good many deaths each year
and they say most of these are pre-
ventable if mothers could be given
| the proper instruction in the care of
the child. Well | am thankful for
start in the right direction and
/ perhaps when this awful war is over
| peoples thoughts will turn once
more TO the betterment of the hui
man race with more enthusiasm
than ever before"
perhaps if everybody was per-
fectly sane and normal there would
never have been a war. But next

Il wonder if my baby is getting
enough to eat, said Emily" What
you know now about the gain baby
should make. Helen?"
Authorities differ somewhat,
believe. but my most reliable book
says that healthy baby will gain
from four to eight ounces a week
and if the gain is less than two oun-
ces a week the food is not agreeing
with the child or it is not getting
enough in quantity and a physician
should be consulted"
Did you weigh Billy Boy every
week."
Just about. for that is such a
good way 10 know exactly whether
he was having a sufficient supply of
food or not. 1t really was very little
trouble because ! kept the scales
handy and weighed him just after
his bath 10 save the trouble of un-
dressing and dressing him again and
he never did like to have his clothes
put on"
But what did you do if he was
not gaining enough?"
II tried to take things a little
easier myself. Whenever | overwork-
ed or worried il seemed to lessen the
supply of milk and he felt il imme-
diately. With a bottle baby it is us
ually a change or food or something
a COW eats that disagreeS with baby
that causes the loss of weight. If a
baby cannot digest its food it does
not get much nourishment from il
and it is worse for the child than if
the quantity was insufficient because
the undigested food ferments in the
child's stomach and makes it i'll"
Mary says her baby lost weight
the first two week. after birth. Is
that usual?"
MY nurse told me that babies Of
ten lose weight the first two weeks
but they should not lose if fed prop
erly and given plenty of boiled water
to drink.
THAT is a good thing to know.

"Of course they can and it makes
them less able to resist disease. Ex-
cessive fat is neither healthy or good
looking. l helped at a Baby Health
Contest once where nearly all the
babies were over weight. The moth
ers had been given the idea that il
was only fat babies that would win
the prizes so mostly fat babies were
entered and many mothers were

But if a baby gets too fat what
can be done?" You can't starve a

There is quite a wide margin be-
tween starving a baby and over feed

to gain too fast l just heightened
the time between his meals and so
controlled the matter. Some babies

Jiteracy Law a Pretext.
New York Evening Post. J

The litaraey law of immigrants will

be enforced. This departure from our
historic policy might seem more defen
sibie if it had not been brought about
under false pretenchS. The literacy
test was simply seized upon as con
vcnicnt pretext b. those who favored
restriction OF immigration by hook or
crook. They could not get it directly
could not pass bill in plain terms to
shut out immigrants beyond a certain
number-and SO they set about it by a
side wind. They do not really care a
suap of the finger whether an immi-
grant can read or write. They merely
want to keep him out. 1t is rcstric-
tion move. in its essence. But we are
bound to admit that it is a move which
has been slowly gathering an irresist-
ible political force behind it. Presi-
dealt Wilson was probably aware that
he could not overcome it. But he con
sistently stood bv his convictions on
the subject, and did his full duty.
