C0 GROWING
THE GROWING BODY OF YOUR CHILD

do all parts of a child's body
grow at the same timer"
my Goodness, John, that is some
thing that no one has learned, yet
scientists have studied plants and an
imals for years and can tell you all
about them, but when it comes to
knowing about babies, that is a diff
ferent story. The study of the nor
NAL child is literally a new science" "
Aren't they going to study the
babies at the University next year,"
Yes; you see the legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for the study OF
the normal child. How queer il is
that we ave only beginning to learn
how to raise babies scientifically al
the time there is going to be the
greatest need of conserving the hu.
man race. War is destroying men
faster than they can be produced. II
the present death rate of infants is
not checked the world will be depop.
ulated. But that is a gloomy thot
and | am optimistic enough TO be.
lieve that a better time is coming
when war will cease because all ba
bies are better babies and we have 9
better, saner race of men and wo
men. Come, let's take Billy Boy fol
walk. His growing body demands
exercise and as il is too wet out OF
doors for him to play, he mus
walk"
ut seems to me that his mind i:
developing about as fast as any par
of him.
why not? Just think how mucl
he must learn in short time if he IL
ready to go to scool in a few years
but i don't want his mind forced.
What do you mean by that?"
Il mean that his mind should bt
allowed to grow naturally for a few
years just as his legs and arms grow
naturally. Plenty of time to max,
him memorize verses and long stories
when he is older"
Il agree with you there. Forced
| plants are usually weakly. Come
Billy Boy, Daddy is waiting"

Don't force your child's mind.
Don't coddle him, with too sof
beds.
Don't dress him too warm.
Don't retard growth by over eX
element of the child's nervous sys

Don't neglect childhood ailments

GOOD BACKS FOR BAD
Audubon Residents are Learning
How to Exchange the Old Back
For a Stronger One.

Does your back ache, feel weak
and painful?
Do you suffer headaches, languor
and depression?
Is the urine discolored, passages
irregular?
The kidneys may be calling for
help.
Weak kidneys cannot do their
work.
Give them the help they need.
To cure kidney backache you
must cure the kidneys.
Use a tested and proven kidney
remedy.
Doans Kidney Pills have stood the
test.
Convincing proof of merit in Au-
dubon testimony.
Peter Mathiesen, Sr., retired farm
er, Golden St. Audubon says: For
perhaps twenty years / have known
of and used Doan's Kidney Pills.
Whenever I feel that my kidneys are
out of order my back aches or other
ailments bother me, always rely up
on them and they act as represented
The backache and other troubles so

HELD PATRIOTIC MEETING

AS was first announced in last
Thursdays issue of the Audubon
Republican, Capt. l.. Ross of Com
pany NJ, 3rd Iowa of Red Oak, arrived
in the city that day to administer the
federal oath to the seven recruits who
were being sent from Audubon county
Capt. Ross empowered DR.. A. L.
Brooks to make the medical examina-
ton. One of the young men who
volunteered his service was unable To
pass the examination.
The cornet band was out late in the
afternoon and rendered several selec-
tions. When they were through play
ing a large crowd had gathered in
the park to bid godspeed to the young
men. Rev. Fuller pastor in the North
Branch neighborhood from whence
the recruits came, made most
delightful talk. He was followed
by H. j. Mantz and j. NJ. Renftle who
made splendid talks. Capt. Ross then
gave some valuable information and
among his remarks was the inforha-
ton that perhaps within two weeks
the government would make the
draft from the list of young men who
registered on June 5th.
After a stirring patriotic meeting
that thrilled everyone present, the
boys left for Atlantic by auto and
from there were to be taken to Viii
lisca for extensive training at the
armory. Those who were successful
in passing the required examination
were: Clyde Rising, Harry Hunt
Bruce Benton, Claude Williamson,
Carl Charter, Ward Lawler, and Geo
Dewey. The citizens of the county as
well as the parents of these young
men hope they may be returned in
safety to their homes and while they
are at the front, fighting for their
country, they will not be forgotten by
those back home who are unable to
go.

BILLY Boy is growing like a weed"
said John one morning, as he looked
with pride at the boy who was so
much like him in face and figure.
''Yes, | can hardly believe he was
only baby year ago. How thank
full we should be that he does grow
for that means he is we'll"
what do you suppose is the trou-
BILE with the Burton baby. 1t must be
as old as Billy Boy, and not nearly
SO large"
II suppose one reason the Burton
baby is small is because he comes
from small stock-the father is a
small man, the mother is tiny, and l
remember that the grandparents are
small people, too"
Then you think that size is a
matter of heredity?"
Eyes, l do, just as it is with an
imals. There are percherons, driving
horses and ponies among men just
as there are among horses, and no
amount of training and food will
change their build"
But don't you think that some
children are small because they are
underfed?"
vi SOulSC, Just do
size animals that are dwarfed by i'm
proper care and feeding. Proper
food and good care and the right
kind of housing will help any child
to develop, but it won't make a tall
breed short or a short breed tall"
II wonder if baby grows while il
sleeps"
"My Baby Book says they grow
more while asleep than when awake
That is why insist on Billy Boy hav,
ing nap every day"
"Sleep and good food seem to be
the only medicine you give our boy.
And it is all intend to give un.
less he contracts come infectious dis.
ease; but you might add clothing, fol
a child grows better if comfortably
clothed Loose, soft, warm garments
are better than tight, harsh things
you know"
How much should a child grow in
a month";"
"Oh dear, what a hard question
1t seems to me that children have
periods of growth and rest, as they
get older, just as plants do. Ther
too, some children grow rapidly anC
some grow slowly, SO you see Their,
is no way to estimate just what eacl
child should grow in given length
of time"

BUSINESS MEN GETTING BUSY

Business men all over the country
are getting busy helping the farmers
cultivate the corn inasmuch as the
season is late and the help is scarce.
We notice that Mr.. Hulsebus, the big
automobile dealer at Harlan, is de-
voting all of his spare time in as
sisting the farmers near town. He
had donned the overalls and is out
practically every day helping some
farmer cultivate corn. He is setting
a splendid example Farmers all
over the country are complaining
about being unable TO get help to
properly care for the growing crops
A few days help from those who are
able to do farm work will no doubt
be appreciated by farmers who are in
need of assistance. Mr.. Hulsebus is
certainly to be commended for his
patriotic spirit. Men of his type
make the world better and happier.

ORGANIZE UNIT AT BRAYTON

A Red Cross unit was organized at
Brayton last Thursday after a rousing
public meeting held at the Baptist
church. DR.. w. H. Halloran, George
Viewer and II. j. Mantz, of this city
were the principal speakers. Officers
elected were: o. F. Ide president:
Percy Hallock, president; Mrs.
Harry Miller, secretary; ]. w. Can
non, treasurer. The people of the
community were very enthusiastic
and every reason can be advanced that
Brayton and vicinity will do her full
share toward raising the large sum
of money that is required this week

Mrs. Will COvault is suffering with
badly fractured arm and Mrs. Os-

REPORT WAS INCORRECT

week when it reported the death of
Mrs. Joe Swinehart, of Audubon
township. The lady who died, how
ever was Mrs. Art Stoner, of Adair,
sister of Mrs. Swinehart. We re-
greet that such an error in reporting

seen how such an error could be
made. We offer our apologies to Mr..
Swinehart and family.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SNAMP--ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to- become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss Of ambition,
nervousness and may be respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, re-
stores health to the kidneys and is just
the remedy needed to overcome such con-
ditiops.
Get a medium or large bottle immedi-
ately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first. to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
-Kilmer & Co., BinghamtoR. n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper. Adv.

Tea SHIPMENTS Increase.

Apparently the American people are
becoming nation Of tea drinkers.
Shipments of the tea herb to the Unit
ed States are far ahead of pre-
vious years. The Shizuka Maru
of the Nippon Steamship company ar
rived at Seattle from Yokohama re-
Gently with 21,39S packages of tea,
each package averaging So pounds,
says East and West. The cargo is
3,215 packages larger than the ship
ment from Yokohama By the Tamba
Maru, which established a previous
seasons record. In addition, the Shi-
zuka brought 1000 packages of raw
silk, 1915 cases of rubber, 2,215 rolls
of mating, 599 cases of toys, S97 cases
of porcelain, 1925 cases of manufac-
tured cotton and silk goods and 1898

Japan's Financial Aid to Russia.

A DOMESTIC loan OF 9oU,OUO,UOU HaS

a large part of which will be used to
pay for war supplies already ordered
by Russia In Japan. At present,
$50, 600, 900 Russian treasury bills held
in Japan matured on, September %
and were renewed. The bankers Of
Japan have so many demands for
money made upon them at present to
finance new enterprises that they are
not disposed to underwrite Russian
loans; therefore the government will
issue exchequer bonds which may be
paid for with Russian treasury bills

First off," directed the pedestrian,
as he took his seat in the car, "you
drive straight ahead the way you
were going for about two miles"
When the two miles had been trav-
ersed he continued: Nov, if you'll let
me out here can show you the rest of
the way without going along. Just
turn around and go back three miles
and there you are"
"Why didn't you tell me that in the
first place instead Of taking me two

The Small Birds,

1 am glad to note that the Royal So
ciety for the Protection of Birds has
issued a warning against the destruc-
ton Of small birds, which has been
recommended in some quarters, says q
writer in the Westminster Gazette. It
has published pamphlet on the subs
ject, pointing out that nearly all the
small birds Of Great Britain are en-.
gagged in the work Of destroying In.
sect pests from March to August, and
in a lesser degree all the year through.
On the other hand, no bird lives wholly
or principally on cultivated grain or
fruit. We have heard Of districts be-
ing ravaged by caterpillars, which have
multiplied this year enormously, ow.
ing to the heavy mortality of birds
during the severe winter. And yet in
village where I was staying recent.
ly the farmers were trying to exter-
inmate the sparrows, which were liv-
ing mainly on caterpillars, as could
see from the food brought by pair of
them to their nestlings under the roof.

Conserving Leather.

Leather is one of the materials
which must be used economically in or
der that the army may have shoes, har-
ness, saddles and puttees. The depart
ment of agriculture explains that the
civilian can conserve leather by max
ing his shoes last as long as possible.
Greasing them when the leather gets
hard and dry; wearing heel plates or
otherwise preventing turnover heels,
which ruin the shape of shoe, and
having them half-soled when practical
bic, will cut the family shoe bill, and
help the government keep the soldiers

BIG BUSINESS men
Some Who Do a Days Work Be-
fore Breakfast.
Lord Rhondda and Lloyd George OF
England, Roosevelt and Rockefeller
Among Quick Thinkers.

Lord Rhondda, the food controller,
is one of the greatest business men
England has ever produced, London
Tit-Bits says. His lordship is accus-
toned to commence his days work be-
fore he rises in the morning. From
then until the time when his dressing
IS completed he Is busy with various
problems, and upon many occasions
he has actually settled important mat
terS in connection with the department
at the breakfast table. Thus, when he
arrives at his office he has already
done what many men would consider
good days work.
Perhaps no member of the win-the-
war government leads more strenu-
Gus existence than its leader, Lloyd
George. Always up before six in the
morning he is busy even at breakfast
when he gives his attention to multi
tudinous affairs of state. Although he
invariably spends his week-ends at his
charming house in the country, the
prime minister is in constant touch
with 10 Downing street by telephone,
If any important question arises during
his sojourn out of town, less than half
an hour finds the premier back at No.
10. This wonderful little Welshman
frequently makes an "all-night sitting"
in order to solve some problem Of mo.
mentous importance that has cropped
up"
Our foreign minister, Arthur Bal
four, is another expert at time saving.
He gets through large amount of cor
respondence every day during meals,
debating letters to his secretary be-
tween the courses. Although he is sell
dom seen In the house Of commons
nowadays, it was invariably his prac-
tice before the war to compose his
speeches while listening to the debates.
Ex-President Roosevelt is another
celebrity who has reduced time saw
ing to a fine art. He constantly takes
paper and pencil out with him when
he is riding on horseback, and at such
times decides upon his reply to a diff
ficult question or outlines an article
for the press.
J. D. Rockefeller believes in an econ
omy of words. When he has an i'm
portant piece of business to negotiate,
he thinks out beforehand what is the
simplest and quickest way of getting it
through. Another man who had once
to negotiate an important oil deal with
him, one involving the transfers of
hundreds of thousands of pounds,
spent weeks in preparing for the final
momentous interview.
Mr.. Rockefeller walked into the
room where he was sitting with his
piles of papers. "How much?" he
asked. The man named q figure, though
almost surprised into dumbness by the
bluntness of the question. Right"
said the millionaire, and left the COON,
thereupon handing over the other
party to some of his subOrdinates for
the completion of details, while he him.
self gave his attention to other mat
tiers. 1t is part of his system of saw
ing time that his mind and attention
shall only be occupied with the settle
ment of principles, and that thereafter
the arrangement OF details shall al
ways be taken in hand by his numer-
GUS assistants, who are quite compe-
tent for the purpose.

Church Pension Fund Success.

Final returns sent to J. z. Morgan,
treasurer of the S5,00O,000 pension
fund for the support of retired Episco-
pal clergymen, show that the fund
was oversubscribed nearly rs per cent,
total subscriptions amounting to S.
10000. Of this S. 1854, 500 has already
been paid.
The Church Pension fund is the larg-
est of the kind ever raised, and, next
to the Red Cross hundred million dol
lar fund, the largest charitable fund
ever gathered in America for any one
purpose. 1t took just year to do 1t.
While 100000 was the goal origin
ally set, it was announced from time
to time that an oversubscription was
desired in order to give the fund the
sOundest backing possible.
