To Save the Babies

The Government Census Bureau
at Washington estimates that
three hundred thousand babies
under one year old died in the
United States last year. 1t is
safe to say that this enormous
figure represents the death rate
Of babies each year for several
years past. The Government has
been spending millions of dollars
printing books and doing exper-
mental work to the end tn at
people may raise healthy hogs,
horses and other domestic
animals, but until recently it
seems that the babies have been
neglected. At last Uncle Sam
has become alarmed at the awful
death rate among his babies and
has gotten out an extra addition
of Mrs. Max Vests booklet on
Infant Care, in which vauable
information is given by special
ist as to remedies and rules fol-
| keeping the baby well. Con.

SURGEONS FIGHT
GERMAN LIES
Americans Working with British in
France Under Attack by Bombs
and PROPAGANDA,

London, Sept. 26.-Despite lies circn-
lated in Belgium and France by German
agencies that serious differences have al
ready arisen between American surgeons
and the British army medical service,
the Americans continue hard at work
helping the wounded under the addition
al difficulty of bombs dropped by Ger
man aviators who have killed and wound
ed many of their own men in these oper-
atoms. The British who are able to give
the Americans the advantage of what
they have learned in three years of war
are frankly appreciative of the sacri-
fees that famous American surgeons
have made to come over and help. At
this time such surgeons as DIR. Harvey
Cushing of Harvard, DR.. Grille of Cleve-
land, DIR. Brewer of New York, DIR. Muir
ply of st. Louis and DR.. Beesley OF
Chicago are working day and night in
casualty clearing stations doing their
best and in closest cooperation and
friendship with the British despite the
German lies, according to a correspondent
who made it his business to get at the
bottom of the new form of propaganda.

SPORTING NOTES

The main question being asked in
these days is who will win the world
series championship Although some
claim that one team will win, no real
comparative value of each team will be
known until after the first game. Nc.
Graw has certainly fine collection of
stars, but the absence of Herzog may
affect the team as a whole. But mat
tiers may be settled between the New
York management and Herzog before the
first game starts. The performance of
Schupp during the past two years places
him as McGraw's best bet The White
Sox players are confident that they will
win, for since they can hold their own
against Leonard of the Red Sox, they are
sure that no Giants finger can stop
them.
BY winning the first encounter of Sun
days double bill with Chicago, Alex
ander, the Phillie pitcher, annexed his
Goth win of the season. BY winning
five straight games from the Cubs, Phil
adelphia has kept within striking dis
lance Of the Giants and if they had lost
one engagement, they would have been
eliminated from the race.
Bobby Burns, infielder for the Chicago
ditionally released by the club, accord
ing to a recent announcement.
Although st. Louis used II players in
the second encounter with Boston sun
day, they were forced to take the small
end of the score which Boston won by
the tally of seven to one.

KAHN SCORED
PRUSSIANISM
New York Banker Says II, By Diabolical
Cunning, Instilled Into Germany De-
moniacal 0bsession for World
Dominion.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 26.-Urging
Americans of German descent TO join IN
our country's righteous struggle against
people of their own blood, which, I'M
der the evil spell of dreadful obsession
= has made itself the enemy of
this peace.loving nation" Otto IL. Kahn,
banker, of New York, before the Harris
burg Chamber of Commerce, to-day
pleaded for support of the war policy
of the administration at Washington.
Scoring that Prussianism, which, he
said, with profound cunning has instilled
into Germany the demoniacial obsession
of power worship and world dominion, ="
Mr.. Kahn traced the methods by which,
he said, the Teutonic people have been
Systematically poisoned by the Prussian
ruling caste"
THE world feryentIy longs for peace.
But there can be no peace answering to
the true meaning of the word, no peace
permitting the nations of the earth, great
and small, to walk marmed and un
afraid, until the teaching and the leader
ship of the apostles of an outlaw creed
shall have become discredited and hateful
in the sight of the German people.
"Woe to the German American, so
called, who in this sacred war for a cause
as high as any for which ever people
took up arms, does not feel solemn
urge does not show an eager determine
tion TO be in the very forefront of the
struggle, does not prove patriotic jeal
ousy, in thought in action and in speech,

TO CATCH SLACKERS.
Canada and U. S. Negotiating Agree
ment to Prevent Avoiding Draft.

Ottawa, Sept. 26.-The governments Of
Canada and the United States are ncgo-
tiating an agreement to prevent men Of
either country from avoiding compulsory
military service by residing on the other
side of the line, it was learned here yes
terday, similar to the plan the allied ma
tions in Europe recently adopted.
The majority of Americans of military
age in Canada have, it is said, already
reported to their consulates for mill
tary duty. Cooperation between the
countries is designed to meet the cases
of the few on either side of the line
who may attempt to take advantage Of
residence.

limited yesterday the examinations of

men at one time as desired by the war
department.
1t will be possible to have 100000
men under arms by Oct. Is, which is all
the war department planned on doing.

DON'T BUY WATER
LOGGED POULTRY
Government Advises That You Buy 3 to

when You buy poultry which is
packed in ice, you probably are paying
poultry prices for from 3 to IA per cent
of water soaked up by the bird" accord
ing to a statement issued by the United
States department of agriculture. "This
means paying from 25 to 80 cents a
pound for from 3 to Ia pounds of wa
ter in every hundred pounds of chicken
purchased.
Moreover, broiler allowed to soak
in water or ice will lose about 3 per
cent of its edible substance, while roast
ing chickens and fowls lose as much as
per cent" the statement continues
Along with the edible material. water
dissolves and washes out from the bird
substances on which the fine flavor of the
flesh largely depends.
"The purchaser who wishes to avoid
water soaked chickens and to make sure
that the money is paid for poultry and
not poultry plus added water, win do
well TO insist on buying dry packed and
dry chilled birds. Ii is always advis-
able to see the package in which the

cisco bomb thrower
This investigation follows an interna,
tional protest of labor organizations that
Mooney has been "railroaded." President
Wilson also is informed that western la
Dor unrest nay be laid finally to the
Mooney case.
The inquiry will take two courses. a
complete report on the evidence to the
president; the new western labor inves-
tigating commission named by the presi-
dent recently and headed by Secretary of
Labor Wilson will go to the very bottom
of the outrage This commission will get
its marching orders" this week
Foremost radical leaders in the country
and many of the leading labor authori-
ties have advised the president that
Moneys plight is being used extensive
ly by enemy countries in stirring up la
Dor and Socialist antagonism to the Unit
ed States, particularly in Russia, but also
in France and England.
Mooney is big figure in Russia, hav
ing been one of the leaders of the Rus
sian freedom movement. His following
in other countries is such as to make
his case one of international Importance,
the president has been told.
While the president is working on this
problem, labor is preparing to send a
delegation of union men to Russia to
dissipate distrust there in Americas war
purposes. PRECEDENT Wilson will not name
these delegations because of the difficult
ties involved in picking seventy-fve men
for the work, but will sanction the com
mission, to be financed by popular sub
scription.
