nutshell for the hearer to crack. He
said in part. Spiritual Growth was
like physical and mental growth. Each
part must be fed or nourished, and
then exercised properly for its devel-

of Grace, was presented by Mr.. A.

old YEAR RUNC
OUT, THE new
BROUGHT IN;
THIS An IDEAL
new YEARS DAY

The New Year was ushered in
last night with the blowing Of
whistles and ringing of bells. Fire
works were shot OFF and generally
the old year was ushered out and the
New Year brought in with the usual
gladstone noise.
There were number of watch
parties, but not so many, on account
of it being Sunday night, as would
have been the case had 1t been
week night.
This has been an ideal spring-like
day. the sun has shone brightly. and
everybody who could has taken the
day off and gone to the Golf course,
where hospitality has reigned SUI
preme all day, people frou all over
the county having been invited to
be present and enjoy the day as
guests of the Golf Club, on this, its
opening day.
The banks and poetoffice have been
closed all day, and few of the
Istores closed this afternoon, thus al
lowing their clerks the opportunity
of getting out in the open. In the
hotels and in many homes, the usual
sumptuous New Years dinner, with
turkey and other delicacies, were
served, and the day has been one OF
pleasure to all-for, if in no other
way, what gives more pleasure to
enc than to wish their friends a hap
py and prosperous New Year, and
that is what the Evening Telegram
most sincerely wishes for each of its
host of readers.

BABY DEATH RATE
REDUCTION SLOW

The death rate among babies in the
larger American cities has been re-
duced Il per cent since 1910, accord
ing to the infant mortality survey just
completed by the New York milk COM
mittee. This reduction has been made
among cities of 100000 population and
over. The smaller cities have not done
so well The reduction in cities between
$4,000 and 100000 population is only =
per cent, while those under $4,000 show
an increase Of 5 per cent. The general
reduction is per cent The survey
covers $50 Of the largest cities in the
United States since 1906. The marked
decrease in infant deaths did not be-
gin until 1910 when organized infant
work became general The infant death
rate at Indiana Harbor is alarming
These $50 cities represent one-fourth
Of the population in the United States

Besides this, It is now known that
there occurs annually about half as
