QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

We are going to spend the sum-
mer at a place on the seasnore.
Our baby is eight months old ana
quite we'll. Should / leave on his
wool and silk navel bands now or
not? Some say 1t is dangerous to
take them off in the summer.
am nursing the baby. Would 1t be
safe for me to go in swimming? |
love to- go in, but some say 1t Is
dangerous and
should have been discontinued
about seven months ago. Go in
swimming as often as you like.
Malaria Carrying and Ordinary
Mosquitoes.
Do all mosquitoes carry malaria
no malaria at our camp although
mosquitoes are thick around US
every night? B. G. D.
Answer-No, the most common
type of mosquito, which bites night
or day and huns loudly around
your ears is the Culex, never
carries malaria Anopholes mos
quitoes are the malaria carriers.
These seldom bite in the daytime.
and the bite is less irritating than
ordinary mosquito bites, and the
hum is not as distinct. You can
tell at a glance whether a mosquito
belongs to the Misunderstanding
type. If it alights on a surface
with its body more or less parallel
with the surface, as a wall or the
skin, it is not a malaria carrying
type; but if it's body is more or less
perpendicular to the surface it is
the malaria carrying type. The
wings of Misunderstanding mosqui-
toes are spotted; the wings Of or
binary mosquitoes are not.

EAfLES Of LOVE.
"See what l have brought you
to-" said Winnie Thorpe in pref
ty self-reproach and contrition.
Yes, it's simply terrible," am

tear from one eye. Then those
two bubbling over spirits coalesced
in an outburst OF mutual joy. love
and felicity supreme. There was
a hug, a kiss, and Albion started
to leave the little three-room cot

French May Get JOb.-It is re-
ported in Des Moines that Hon. Ma
thanieI D. French of Davenport, has
been asked to become the successor
of N d. Ely as chairman of the ex-
emption board for the southern dis
trict of Iowa 1t is Understood that
great pressure is being brought to
bear upon Judge French to accept
the position, but that he feels that
it will be impossible to be in Des
Moines for so large portion of his
time, as the duties of the position
have required. The feasibility of
moving the office to Davenport is
being discussed in connection with
the change, it being greatly desired
that Judge French lend his marked
ability and legal training to the ser
vice of the government in this im-
portant position.
Selectiyes to Parade.-Selective
service men who leave Davenport
Friday morning to enter the ma
tional army at Camp Pike, Ark,
will stage a parade and patriotic
demonstration TOMORROW evening

ned for a two-fold purpose. In
the first place the selects desire
to demonstrate what two weeks
drilling will do in the way of
teaching men the rudiments of
military movements, and in the
second place to stimulate interest
in military training at home for
future draft selects
More than 100 selects, men who
have drilled at Wander Veer park
at least two or three evenings a
week for)>the last two weeks, will

on large numbers of trench mortarS to cut the wire entanglements, The British had had warnings that the Germans would use great quantities of gas shells. This proved to be true, although there was nothing new in the type of gas and the British gas masks appear to have been most eff fective. British Tommies and their officers fought for hours with their gas masks on, but even this drawback could not dampen their jublation at the havoc thev caused as the German infantry presented itself in the form of point blank targets. Nine German divisions negotiated the assault in this section but they met with strenu- ous resistance. British machine gun ners did terrible execution as the Ger mans moved forward.
 As on Thursday the Germans today depended on tremendous artillery bonn bardments and massed attacks with great numbers of troops to achieve results At least 40 German divisions have been identified and the German artillery concentra tion is the greatest that has been seen on the west
 It is reported that in one section the Germans came across No Mans Land in regular formation and gaps in the ranks were quickly filled in to present a solid front. The Germans are said to have stopped when they reached the barbed wire and to have cut it by hand under a heavy fire from rifles, machine guns and artil- lery. However, the report is not Veri- fled, but it is certain that the Ger mans advanced in more dense forma- tions than ever before and naturally suffered grievous casualties.
 Six German divisions Thursday de- Hvered very heavy attack against the British south of St. Quentin. De- spite the fact that the enemy had q superiority in mum bers. the British hung doggedly to their posts through out the day and it was only after the Germans had stopped the assault that the British withdrew their lines somewhat in order to give them pro- tection by means of the Disc river and the flooded ground around it. A further attack here will be extremely costly to the enemy.
