PATRIOTISM AND BABIES

How the strength of the nation is being impaired by the conditions which make babies sicken and die, and what some two thousand communities have done to awaken interest in the con- servation of the youngest citizens, are briefly reviewed in a new bulletin on Baby-Week Campaigns which has just been issued by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor.
 Approximately one in ten of all the babies born in the United States dies before completing twelve months of life, and the Children's Bureau says:
 1t was once thought that a high in- fant death rate indicated a greater de- gree of vigor in the survivors. Now it IS agreed that the conditions which destroy so many of the youngest lives of the community must also result in crlppling and maiming many others and must react unfavorably upon the health of the entire community.
 Two thousand one hundred com munities have reported to the Chil- dren's Bureau the details of a Baby Day or Baby Week by which they called attention to the need of pro- tectlng their babies. Ingenious de- wees for exhibits, new methods of dis rlouting pamphlets on baby care, ways Tn which information on local eohaltlons was secured and published, ana other interesting features from 'neSe local reports are described in 'e bulletin as suggestive for those who are planning a similar campaign.
 me bureau says: Not all of the -,iVV communities reporting a Baby "eeK campaign in 1916 may find it "Ne to repeat the celebration in 1917: out the United States includes 14.1s6 incorporated cities, towns. and viii ages, and it is doubtful if among the n thousands which have never had a DaOy Day or Baby Week there is a snge town or village which would not p''nt from such campaign"

IN MEMORY OF LITTLE
 LOIS ESTELLE DILLARD

The Death Angel visited the home or MT. and Mrs. Charlie billiard. the 2nd of December and took from then, their darling girl. She was the grand child of MT. and Mrs. R. L. Garvis. Little Lois was born Jan. 21, 1912. and died Dec. ?, 1916. She was playing in her playhouse, had fire in her stove from which her clothing caught fire. She was burned Friday morning and died Saturday morning. It was such shock to us all, and so hard to think she was burned to death. We could hardly stand to give her up. we all loved her so we'll She was a dear sweet little girl, loved by all who knew her. While it is our loss, it is her eternal gain. The Lord knows best. He has taken her from this world of troubles, to that sweet home above, and we cannot wish her back, but only say to her dear parents and bereaved ones not to weep for her for she IS resting in the arms of dear Jesus. Go to Him with your troubles, He will give you grace to bear vour trials; He can soothe your sorrows, ease your pain. There is no other friend like Jesus.
 After the funeral service, conducted by Rev. w. c. Felts, her little body was laid in the Bluff Springs cemetery, there to await the coming of dear Jesus, to call the sleeping dust from the tomb. Oh, how happy it is to think of meeting the loved ones over there, where there is no more part ing, no more sickness, no more pain, no saying forewell, but will all be to- gether forever and evermore. singing praises to dear Jesus round the shin ing throne of God.
 Dear little Lois is gone to rest
 To reign with God forever blest,
 Her little tongue will always praise A Saviour's love redeeming grace,
 Far from world of sin and strife She now enjoys heavenly life
 And joins to praise and shout and sing And make the heavenly arches ring. Could we but hear her little tongue sweetly singing the heavenly song, Could We but see her smiling face,
 Delighted with that happy place We could not wish her back again,
 But say dear Lois with God remain. We'll try to gain that peaceful shore, Where those who meet shall part no more.
 Now let us strive the prize to gain, Let's come to Christ, with him remain. Then we shall share in Jesus love, And meet dear little Lois above.
 Written by one who loved her. MINNIE MARLAR.

Connie Mack's Once Crack
Team Makes a Poor
Showing.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 16.-N hat
about Connie Mack's highly touted
much improved" team-is it fliv-
yer?
According to some authorities Mack
was going 10 come back this season
with a strong pennant contender and
no doubt this baseball leader had
planned on such a showing. That
Mack has been keenly disappointed
in some OF the 1917 pickups was
shown in recent interview.
That he is a poor business mantle
sore fans down here are calling him
that now-does not necessarily fol-
follow:
AS proof OF McGillleuddy's business
acumen and foresight, just reflect on
the following dope: Mack sold Frank
Baker, home run star, TO the New
York Yankees for a sum supposed to
be S22.5OO. He purchased Pink Bodie
from the San Francisco club for the
paltry sum equivalent to the maxi
mum draft price and probably there
wasn't a nickel turned over, as Mack
has a habit Of saving coin and trad
ing players.
Most of Mack's distinguished pu-
pills are making good wherever they
are playing Eddie Collins, sold to
the White SOx for $4,000, is still con-

Connie Mack. Jack Shibe and Joseph

down On Wednesday. June Is, the

marines, who will parade TO the
grounds and then give an exhibition
drill and perhaps wall scaling.
AS for the boxing clubs-well. be-
tween tomorrow night and the end
expected that 10000 young men viii
be enrolled
What an inspiration a boxer who
has studied the game is to the en-
bryo soldier is best illustrated by a
former Philadelphia lightweight. Few

nize him, but he was a real star in

alone holds priority over him, and in
face Of this fact his wonderful come
back is all the more remarkable.
The Cicotte Of 1917, according to
Billy Evans. is a better pitcher than
the Cicotte who broke into the majors
years ago. Eddie has taken off some
Is pound that he carried around as
excess baggage last season and his
speed and control both are improved
as a result.
Eddie first broke into the big
league in 1905 with the Detroit club
and he was sent back both times for
more seasoning. Finally he came up
to stay in 1908 as a member of the
Boston Americans. In midseason of
1912 he went to the White Sox, as
Comiskey had great faith in him and
jumped at the chance to secure him
by the waiver route.
That Commy'S bunch on CicOtfe
was correct is being proven with
n vengence now, and IL the White

can league this fall IL will be a

handed down the opinion that the
ball was okay, and Cicotte's success
became more OF a mystery than ever
1t remained for umpire Evans TO
offer q solution 10 the new Cicotte
delivery that appears TO be the most
logical advanced to date. He says
that Eddie simply polishes one side
OF the ball, using the theory exactly
opposite to that Of the emery ball
IN order to polish the ball Eddie
spills some water on his uniform
and as soon as the ball becomes
soiled he rubs one side OF il on the
dampened uniform until il becomes
smooth and white. The other side is
soiled and rough from use, and when
the ball is properly pitched il per
forms practically the same evolutions
that the emery ball does
Evans says there Is nothing
Illegal TO the new CicOtfe method
of pitching, but even though
Eddie's secret Is out other pitch
ers may not succeed with the
system. as Eddie hasn't told any
one just how the ball Is de-
Hvered. and Il is more than
likely that he has some new
wrinkle in holding the pill or in
letting &c out when he throws.
