temporary molars are extracted before
the sixth year molars come in, the lat
ter will be apt to crowd forward into
the space left vacant, and when the
later teeth come they will be pushed
out of their regular places, destroying
the natural line of the mouth. The
first molars furnish the grinding sur
faces necessary to proper chewing of
the food. If they fall out too soon the
child is hardly able to chew hard or
tough food, and is likely to swallow
such food in chunks.
The care of the child's first teeth is
important also because the health of
the permanent set is largely dependent
upon that of the first set. The second
teeth are much larger than the first
and consequently need more room in
the gum. For necessary development
the jaws must be given plenty of exer-
else. Consequently the child should
have a mixed diet, including some hard
food which he can not swallow without
chewing. Toast, crusts, hard crackers,
certain fruits like apples, salad, vege-
tables, and meats should provide the
food elements needed for healthy teeth
if the child is thriving.

Mrs. Elizabeth Mcdonald Its Superin-
tendent Is Greatly Pleased With
Everything In Connection With It.

In the spring of 1907, almost single
handed and alone; Mrs. Elizabeth Nc
Donald, founded the Louise Training
School for Colored boys in her little
cottage home at 40 Ada street. She
started in with about or Z boys, most
of them being wards of the Juvenile
Court, and no other institution in Cook
County wanted them or would take
them in and provide a halfway. decent
home for them.
Very quietly she continued to push
ahead with her work in that direction
and the boys have continued to in
crease from the Juvenile Court and
from parents who have separated and
left them homeless, until now, there
are from fifty to sixty boys in the
home, under the immediate care of
Mrs. Mcdonald.
About four years ago, the Louise
Training School for Colored boys, was
duly incorporated under the State laws
of Illinois and now it is under the pro-
| testing wings of the State Board of
Administration.
The old quarters at 6lst and Ada
and also on Loomis street; have for
some time, been entirely too small to
accommodate all the boys and the first
of this week, they were removed onto
lovely thirty acre farm, which is
highly improved in every way and is
located near the Glenwood Training
School.
There are all varieties of fruit trees
on it and plenty of ground to raise
potatoes and other garden truck. Also
a large house, steam heated, polished
hardwood floors and other modern i'm
provements. There are also several
cottages that can be used for housing
the boys, large dairy or creamery
house and barn which will hold fifty
to sixty head of horses and cattle.
Mr.. Leo Phillips, superintendent of
the Glenwood Training School, states
that he will see to it that "the boys
Of the Louise Training School, who are
well advanced in manual training, will
be permitted to attend the Glenwood
Training School three or four days
each week"
Mrs. Mcdonald and the boys feel
that just as soon as they get every
thing Strengthened out in their new
home, that they will be right up to the
very gates of Heaven on this earth.

The Fourth of Series of Weekly Arti-

THE CARE OF THE GROWING
CHILD'S TEETH.

BY the end of the second year the
baby should have his milk teeth com,
plete and until the sixth or seventh
year, when the permanent set will be.
gin to appear, these teeth must serve
all the purposes that the final set will
serve later. Since this is the time the
child is learning to chew his food, a
process necessary not only for proper
digestion but for the strengthening and
developing of his jaws and for the
proper growth of the permanent teeth,
it is important to keep the first teeth
in the best possible working order. The
condition of the teeth is a fair index
70 the general health of the child.
Until the child is old enough to use
a toothbrush himself, the mother should
wash his teeth every day; but as early
as possible the child should learn to
care for his own teeth. If the teeth
can not conveniently be cleaned after
each meal, the mouth may at least be
rinsed. Children should be taught that
it is of special Importance to wash the
teeth and mouth after eating nuts, or
any sweet, sticky, or pastry food. The
teeth should be carefully cleaned at
bedtime since the fermentation of food
PARTICLES left in the mouth, which leads
to the decay of the teeth, proceeds
more rapidly at night, when the mouth
is still.
The child should be taught to brush
the teeth from the gum downward or
upward toward the cutting edge. When
the teeth are brushed crosswise, the
tendency is to push whatever is on
the teeth or under the edges of the
them into the cracks and crevices Of
gums. The inner surfaces of the teeth
should also be brushed up and down,
and the grinding surfaces should be
scrubbed in all directions; after the
scrubbing is finished the mouth should
be thoroughly rinsed with warm water.
Some hard food like stalk of celery
or part of ripe juicy apple eaten at
the end of meal scours the surface of
the teeth and leaves a fresh clean taste
in the mouth.
Children should be taken regularly
to q good dentist once or twice . year
after the first set of teeth is complete.
II cavities appear they should be filed
with soft filings, and each tooth should
be saved as long as possible. II the

6, to be known as Baby Week. Plans
are already under way for the organi.
zation of the various forces that are
contributing to make this week of eff
fort count along the lines of conserv-
ing the child life of the City of Chi,

tainment Committee, Miss Helen Ham
ilton, has made arrangements for an
entertainment, known as ga Modern
Cinderella" to be given at the Strand
Theatre, 9TH and Wabash Ave. Dur

COL. ROBERT G.. INGERSoLL' S
VISION OF WAR.

The past rises before me like a
dream. Again we are in the great
struggle for national life. We hear the
sounds of preparation-the music OF
boisterous drums-the silver voices of
heroic bugles. We see thousands OF
assemblages, and hear the appeals OF
orators. We see the pale cheeks OF
women, and the flushed faces of men;
and in those assemblages we see all the
dead whose dust we have covered with
flowers. We lose sight of them no
more. We are with them when they
enlist in the great army of freedom.
We see them part with those they love.
Some are walking for the last time in
quiet, woody places, with the maidens
they adore. We hear the whisperings
and the sweet vows of eternal love, as
they lingeringly part forever. Others
are bending over cradles, kissing babes
that are asleep. Some are receiving
the blessings of old men. Some are
parting with mothers who hold them
and press them to their hearts again
and again, and say nothing. Kisses
and tears, tears and kisses-divine
mingling of agony and love! And
some are talking with wives, and en-
deavoring with brave words, spoken in
the old tones, to drive from their hearts
the awful fear. We see them part.
We see the wife standing in the door
with the babe in her arms-standing
in the sunlight sobbing. AT the turn
of the road hand waves-she answers
by holding high in her loving arms the
child. He is gone, and forever.
We see them all as they march
proudly away under the Haunting flags,
keeping time to the grand, wild music
of war-marching down the streets of
the great cities-through the towns and
across the prairies-down to the fields
of glory, to do and to die for the eter-
nal right.
We 90 with them, one and all. We
are by their side on all the CORY fields
in all the hospitals of pain-on all
the weary marches. We stand guard
with them in the wild storm and under
the quiet stars. We are with them in
ravines running with blood-in the fur
rows of old fields. We are with them
between contending hosts, unable to
move, wild with thirst, the life ebbing
slowly away among the withered
leaves. We see them pierced by balls
and torn with shells, in the trenches,
by forts, and in the whirlwind of the
charge, where men become iron, with
nerves of steel.
We are with them in the prisons of
hatred and famine; but human speech
can never tell what they endured.
We are at home when the news comes
that they are dead. We see the maiden
in the shadow of her first sorrow. We
see the silvered head of the old map
bowed with the last grief.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty. They died for us. They
are at rest. They sleep in the land
they made free, under the flag they

pines, the sad hemloeks, the fearful
and the embracing vines.

Adieu Vermont Legislature.

At noon to-day the gavels of the pre-
siding officers will fall and both Houses
of the legislature will be adjourned sine
die. 1t has been in session the longest
of any legislature in history. It has
also attended to more important legis-
lation than any other session of recent
years. The extensive reorganization of
the state government asked for by Gov.
Graham has been effected with the ex-
ception of the courts. The legal fra
ternity has succeeded in blocking that
and the public will call it to account
later.
This legislature has done more for
woman suffrage than any of it's pre-
decessors. 1t raised the salaries of some
of the state officers, but refused to raise
its own. 1t has guarded well the state
treasury. While the budget bill is the
largest in the states history, it does
not contain any questionable appropria-
lions.
In addition TO this regular work, this
legislature in regular session has appro-
priated 81 100000 for the equipment and
pay of the Vermont troops in war, passed
an espionage bill and given the execu-
tive full authority for the fulfilling of
vermont's part in the war just declared.
We do not approve of everything it did.
No person viii approve of everything,
but it has enacted large amount of
desirable legislation and has prevented
The enactment OF selfish and expensive
schemes of any kind.
The people will give the legislature a
'ond and fervent farewell, and we think
hey will join with us in the hope the
will have happy and prosper
Jus season at their homes.-St. Johns.

PLAN TO RAISE FLAG.
ItaIian-born American Citizens Back of
the Plan.

Italian born American citizens of this
city have taken the initiative in move
ment for a public flag raising in Barre
and while plans for the patriotic cere'
mony have not been completed, there is
a strong working committee getting
ready to act. Participation is not limit
ed to people in the Italian colony, as the
flag raising, it is hoped, will be public
occasion in which loyalty to the colors
will be exemplified in a very striking
manner. In short, it is part of the COM
mittee's plan to have the ceremony rep
resent the whole hearted devotion OF all
citizens to the flag of their country. Ever
since the international crisis began to be
the all .absorbng topic of the hour there
has been talk in many circles OF a public
flag raising, but it has remained for
Italian. Americans to take the initial step
and to them belongs the credit.
There was suffusion of enthusiasm
and patriotic fervor at the meeting OF
Italian people last evening, when tenta-
tive arrangements for the flag raising
were discussed and committee appoint
ed to take charge. No such hyphenism
obtained and the Americanism expressed
by every man present was one OF the
features of the gathering.
Just what form the ceremony OF elevat-
ing the colors in Barre is to take will not
be known for a few days. but com
location for the color stand is
TO be chosen and il seems certain that
exercises of fitting character will mark
the occasion. As has been stated already
Il is not the purpose of the committee to
restrict participation to Italian citizens,
as il is the desire of the sponsors to have
the flag raising voice the patriotic senti-
nents of the community as whole. In
Iced. American-born citizens and the
,itizenry of other nativities are no doubt
-eady to lend their aid whenever needed
md as a part of the program il is an
,ounced that any persons who have sug-
yestions or are anxious to give of their
lime and energy may confer with the

Stones Concept of Patriotism.

While pledging lip loyalty to what.
ever preparedness policy the president
may champion and ostentatiously advis-
ing Missourians to enlist in the armed
forces of the United States, Senator Will
liam Joel Stone is industriously and in
sidiously doing what he can TO create
public opposition to the universal service
principle to which the administration has
given its tentative Endorsement.
Mr.. Stone asserts loudly that the gov
eminent should secure an army by in
creasing the pay of private soldiers to
four or Ave times the present amount.
This is diametrically opposite to the uni
versal service idea, which is based on the
principle that every citizen owes his
country an obligation of personal service
without pay. Mr.. Stone, preaching that
every enlisted man should receive $50 or
SIS month, will not make an effective
recruiting sergeant for the regular army
and the National Guard or powerful
advocate of the administrations univer-
sal service plan.
1t is satisfaction, however, to have
Mr.. Stone thus confess inadvertently his
own conception of patriotism, viz: that
nobody should do anything for his coun-
try without being well paid for it. And
the senator's present exhibition in indi-
rectly opposing the army plans furnishes
a vivid explanation of why he came to
be called "Gumshoe Bill" II should be
mentioned in passing that standing with
Mr.. Stone in his present unpatriotic per-
Torrance is another one of the 'little |
group of wilful men," Senator James X.
