The making Of good roads is one Of

There is probably no subject In
which the progressive farmer is more

What is your community doing TO make
life safe and wholesome for its ba-
bieS?"
But Baby Week has done more than
remind people of the Importance of
these questions. 1t helps people who
are already at work on the saving of
babies lives to explain to their fellow
citizens what they are doing, and en-
ables them to extend their efforts. 1t
draws closer together the various
agencies which have been working
from different angles and furthers the
cooperation which is essential to sue
cess.
Perhaps most significant of all is the
effect of Baby Week in small villages
and scattered settlements and other
places where there has been no Or
ganized effort to meet the needs Of
babies. People have come to see, as
few had done before, that even in the
fresh air and the sunshine of the open
country many babies do not have a fair
start in life.
The seven hundred villages which re-
ported to the Children's bureau Baby
Week campaign in 1915, have faced the
fact that every cOmmunity-in city and
country alike-has responsibility to
fulfill which requires thought and eff
fort and perseverance. And this awak.
ening of a community has been in

May 1 to 6 is Baby Week. This ma
tionwide celebration was inaugurated
last year, when more than two thou
sand communities devoted a week to
reviewing the needs of their babies.
The first suggestion of a nationwide
celebration came from the federal
Children's bureau and the General
Federation Of WOmen's Clubs; they
believed that Baby Week was an ex-
cellent eXpedient for calling attention
to the great loss of infant life and for
stimulating local baby-saying work.
Many people are still unaware of the
fact that of all the babies born in the
United States, probably one in ten dies
before it has completed twelve months
Of life. Babies die in rural communi-
ties, in cities, in suburbs, and in small
towns. This great preventable waste
OF life Is scattered over the entire
country, and Baby Week asks.
How many babies die in your COM
munity? Is your infant mortality rate
the lowest that any American COM
munity has yet achieved? Do you re-
alize that when all babies are well
born and well cared for, infant deaths
will so rarely occur that the infant
mortality rate will be negligible2

Do You Neglect
Your Machinery ?

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or
bicycle. Why should the human neglect
his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
pie do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least once a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, If you will
take a pleasant laxative made up of
the May-apple, juice of the leaves of
al0es, root of jalap, and called Pleasant
Pellets. You can obtain at almost any
drug store in this country these vege-
table pellets in walls for 25c-Simply
ask for DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
There can be no counterfeit if they
have the DR.. Pierce stamp. Proven
good by 80 years use.

WATCH BABYs DEVELOPMENT.

If growth an6 development Of the
baby do not proceed in regular fashion
quite steadily from birth onward, the
child should be examined by a compe-
tent physician, to find out the cause
of his retardation, and to remedy it if
possible. Improper food or improper
feeding methods are responsible for
many illnesses and weaknesses among
children. Adenoids may be interfering
with the child's health, or it may be
that the teeth are decayed and aching,
so that the child is prevented from
chewing his food properly. Or it may
he that he has ricketts, or some other
disease which hinders normal growth.
Such conditions are often capable of
being changed when the mother learns
what is needed. Therefore the wise
mother will try TO recognize some of
the signs of trouble and then bring the
baby under the right sort of treatment,
to remedy.

IDEAL HOUSEHOLD.

In that ideal household, with q
standard of life which ought not to
be unattainable for any family, we
may think Of companionship be-
tween parents and children which
would make the finest discipline con-
sist in the parents being good them
selves, and the finest training consists
in the sharing of occupations and work
with children for the sake of what it
gives the children-not at all because
it is the easiest way for the elders.
Such a life would help to bridge the
gulf between the generations, and
fuse their interests into a common
whole.

Not the Whole Truth.

feeling elsewhere. My hat blew away
on Saturday, and though everybody be-
side me took a warm interest in Its
perambulations, nobody joined in pur-
suit.

replied one of his hearers. 'D'ye ken
what l saw on Setterday? A mans
hat blew off just rs cable car wis
passin and the driver stopped the car
and sprinted ava doom the road efter
it. Can we beat that In the sooth?"
The stranger said he really couldn't,
and would chalk it up to Edinburgh's

parted.

CHINESE MILITARY TACTICS
CeIestials Planned to Trip Up Foes,
Throw Water in Their Faces and
Then Cut Off Their Heads.

At the beginning of the Chino-Japa-
nese war, says q contributor to the
Washington Star, one of our military
attaches saw a Chinese regiment take
the field at review and go through
very curious performance.
The soldiers carried long bamboo
poles like fishing rods, and with these
they rushed at one another, yelling
wildly and makiDg very queer gestures
and grimaces.
Whats the game?" asked the Amer
lean.
THAT regiment" a Chinese general
answered, sis one of our very oldest.
1t is now practicing a form of assault
that dates from prehistoric times. The
idea is to trip the enemy up with the
long wand, throw water In his face
and, In the midst of his bewilderment
at this extraordinary treatment, to
cut off his head."-Youth's Compan-
ION.

AN ANCIENT JAPANESE ART
Embroidery Made in Flowery Kingdom
for Centuries Before Country
Was Opened to World.

Japanese embroidery, now so popu-
lar in this country, is one of the oldest
arts of the mikado'S people For cen
turtles before the country was opened
to foreign intercourse heavily embrOid-
cred silk kimonOs, screens, and other
articles were made by professional
embroidery experts, principally in
kyOto. This same profession con-
tinues today, having been handed
down from father to son for many gen
erations. For this reason the center
of the cOuntry's art-embroidery indus
try is at Kyoto, although cheaper en-
brOideries, principally for export, are
produced in large quantities in other
part of the Kobe district.
The majority of the workers in Kyo-
to are men, who produce the finer
grades OF embroidery. 1t is essentially
d household industry, and is usually
conducted in small shops, where from
three to ten apprentices and skilled
embroiderers are employed. The men
received from 40 to 70 cents gold pei
day. The women, however, are able
TO earn from 10 to 80 cents gold pei
day, depending upon their ability ana
diligence.
The manufacture of handmade lace
is a comparatively new industry in
Japan, as lace was not used by the
japanese before the advent of foreign
ers. The industry is still in its in
fancy, and the output is small.

When he got up to speak the audi
ence seemed to him like the result Of
test a wife tried on her husband
who came home early one morning
from a banquet where there had been
quantity of some unknown bev-
erage.
The wife, who found her fears had
been realized, placed two chairs fac
ing each other, sat down in one and
applied the stare test, looking upon the
inebriated one with a cold, fixed glare.
"pll tell you all about it, my dear
he hiccuped, "but that woman in the
other chair looks so much like you /
can't tell which is which,"

porter happened in the clerks office
just as he was taking out his license.

The porter told him, and the ques-
tioning was continued until his wife-to-

pered, Don't tell that man all about

Much Good Known to Have Been
Result of Baby Week Celebration


many cases accomplished by a cam
paign undertaken by some small group
who co-operated for the first time in
arranging their Baby Week. One cam
paign in q Southern mountain village
was launched and carried through by
one woman alone, a tuberculosis pa
tient. She arranged for meetings and
secured literature on baby care, which.
was distributed in the two stores of the
town.
Of course Baby Week can effect no
immediate revolutions in community
care, but it has proved an excellent
starting point for new and permanent
work.
Perhaps a Westinghouse service is
organized, because the women of the
community come to realize during
Baby Week that there is no other way
in which they can be instructed so cas-
lily and so well in the modern science
of baby care. They see, perhaps more
clearly than before, that the mother
who depends on instinct and tradition
in regulating her baby's food and cloth
ing and sleeping and all the details of
the baby's day is behind the times.
They see, further, that intelligent care
not only will prevent illness but will
simplify their own daily work.
Or perhaps Baby Week leads to
determination to have complete birth
registration in the community, with q
committee to carry on test and assist
the local officials in enforcing the birth
registration law.
Or classes are started in the public
school for the instruction of girls in
domestic science and in baby care.
Baby Week, especially in small COM
munities, is frequently concerned with
little children as we'll as babies, and
several reports tell of provision for
physical examination of children or of
new interest in wholesome play. AS
one woman wrote to the Children's bu-
reau after Baby Week:
"We feel that the danger from con-
tagious diseases, the need of a strict
quarantine, the danger from flies, bad
milk, unclean stables, and bad farm
sanitation need publicity in rural COM
munities. Our whole county does not
boast of one kindergarten, and the idea
of the value of play for children both
young and older, is very poorly under
stood. A popular prOverb in these
parts is Only babies and monkeys need
amusing It was very interesting TO
see the play-hungry children hover
over the toy exhibit and to watch them
as they listened to the primary teacher
tell them stories The young mothers
who brought their children seemed so
interested, and so frankly acknowl-
edged the helpfulness of the work that
it seemed altogether worth while"
And last but not lease, Baby Week
has usually led to a better understands
ing of the child-hygiene work of the
state health authorities. -Four states
have special child-hygiene divisions;
and several others are doing extensive
work for children. Nearly all of the
states have special bulletins or leaf
lets on baby care. To show parents
how and where authoritative material
on the care of their children can be
secured free of charge, and to make
a community eager to cooperate with
state health officials in their work for
child welfare would be by itself a sub
stantial result from Baby Week.
