rather go to Youngstown than anywhere

those goods that she had selected, but I
couldn't ave produced another dollar to

BENEFITS OF a BABY WEEK.

A year ago the New York milk COM
mittee published a list OF cities with
low baby death rates. La Crosse, Wis.
led the list. In the baby week cans
paign bulletin Of the extension division
of the University of Wisconsin, the
claim is made that Marinette, Neenah.
Baraboo. Sturgeon Bay, South Milwau-
kee, Beaver Dam, Madison, Kenosha,
Appleton, Racine and Amigo have
baby death rates hat are as low. or
practically as low, as that of La crosse.
TIL state of Wisconsin has reason to
be proud Of the way it takes care of Its
babies. OF course, there are many peo-
pie of Scandinavian stock in that state,
and the babies Of that stock seem to
have an unusually good hold on life.
But that is not the only reason for the
good showing. For one thing, they do
exceptionally good campaigning for
babies.
The people Of other states could learn
from a study Of what is done in baby
week there. In the first place, they like
the baby show idea. They. know that it
reaches people in a way that gets
across. The score ard they use is that
gotten UP by the American Medical as
ISOLATION.
The women who bring their babies to
the baby show learn a lot. In the first
place the baby gets free medical Exam
ination made by a group Of specialists
each expert in his or her line. Each
gets a chance to compare her way of
caring for a baby with that of other
mothers. She has a chance to talk ba-
bies with other mothers with an expert
or hand as referee. The walls of the
showroom are always hung with charts
giving Information about baby care.
Another line Of work for baby week
advocated in this bulletin is the maxi
ing of surveys of local communities.
Baby week is a good time for the peo-
pie in a community to learn about the
milk supply. One group of workers in
a urvey takes samples of milk and
has them analysed for fat or richness,
for bacteria, dirt and temperature. An
other group visits farms where milk is
produced. Another dairies where it is
p~asteurized, bottled and sold.
Another line of activity is to locate
all babies and see that each receives
one or more friendly visits. In addi-
ton to these they advocate the usual
speeches, lectures, lantern slide shows
and moving picture demonstrations.
They do not limit their baby saving
campaigns to large cities. They run
campaigns in small cities, towns, viii
lagos and rural communities as well.
Even a crossroads town can nave a
baby afternoon.
Do you now the baby death rate of
your community21f not, then find out.
To do SO may save you. trouble and
money.

XIV.

When Waller reached his office
the storm had broken in the news
paper world, presagins the hurri-
cane Of sensation, blame, acclama-
ton, criticism and question that
would sweep the country that eve
ming and the following day. he
tried to start his story, but could
not. Telephone calls came to him
one after the other. The news had
swept through the newspaper and
political part Of the city as if by
magic. Correspondents were al
ready sending their papers bulle-
tins announcing that they were
about to put on the wire the ssbig
story" Men talked eagerly about
it in the hotel lobbies, at the CAPT
tol, in the office buildings, on the
street corners. Waller, sitting in
his office, had a mental picture Of
the excitement, the perturbation
among the prohibitionists, the ex-
ultation of the whisky people, the
doubts Of some of the Smith sup
porters, the quick rallying to his
side Of his most earnest followers.
And he knew that nearly every
person was asking another:
What will people think Of it,
What will people say"
He thought, a little grimly, that
few people have any opinions Of
their own, that most Of them mere
" reflect the thoughts of others,
that nearly all are too much like
sheep. The great thing was to give
the sensation the right twist, the
proper slant, to make them say,
He all right" instead Of, He's
all wrong"
The telephone calls multiplied
and piled up. TO all of them he
answered that at 4 o'clock he
would have his story ready. When
the representatives of the after
noon papers said they conla not
wait, he answered that he was
sorry but thar they would have TO
satisfy themselves with what ..
erybody was saying about the IN.
cident. In his own mind, he knew
that the verdict would cone lrom
the morning papers, from the fin
ished and complete stories, rot
from the sketchy and necessarily
fragmentary articles slapped -
the wire by men who had not tiise
enough to reread their copy III
search of mistakes. Finally, he
locked his door, took the reeeiyes,
off the hook, and sat down at his
typewriter to get out the story
which, he hoped. would turn the
tide in favor of the agitator.
AT the end Of an hour and a
half, q few minutes before 4
o'clock, he arose from the ma
chine, stretched his tired arms and
shoulders, and began to put to-
gether the pages Of a story which

1915

There was nothing unusual in
his demeanor. His smile was the
same. He did not even look tired.
AS always before, he impressed
them as a man vibrant with en-
ergy. he held in his left hand a
paper which, some Of them OBJ
served, was a map of the city Of
Washington. Evidently he had
just left his desk to meet them.
Every man facing him sensed to
a nicely how near John Smith
stood to tragedy and ruin. They
were trained to "get" and esti-
mate the force of events, the prob
able consequences Of national af-
fairs, the results of clashing per-
sonalities. And all Of them, watch
ing him intently, thought that he
must be a brave man.
So keen was their appreciation
of what the thing meant, so accur-
ate their provision of the danger
threatening him, that for a few
seconds nobody put the question
they all wanted to ask.
He bowed slightly again and
asked pleasantly:
What is it you want to ask,
gentlemen?"
They We got all the essential
facts, Mr.. Smith," Waller spoke
up. "They've seen my story, and
that covered everything that hap
pened at Senator Mallon's house,
Perhaps" Smith suggested,

promptly, if | told you in my own
words all there is to tell. In fact,
what | said this morningsin Sena-
tor Mallon's house is all I could
sag now. Tt is all-that is, it is all

memory five years old cannot
speak, either accurately or by

penel six years ago. That seems
quite logical, doesn't itY / realize
