(This is the fifth of a series Of weekly
articles On How Mothers Can Help
in cAildrsa's Year.)

The weighing and measuring test Of
children under school age, now going
forward in connection with Children s
Year, win AFFORD American mothers a
splendid opportunity to take part in the
campaign to save 100000 lives. When
child is found to be notably below the
average in his development ii may mean
in many cases that he is not Sufficiently
nOurished, either from actual lack Of
food, or because his food is badly ehos-

fan into bad eating habits.
A. recent report by DR.. Josephine
Baker, Chief of the Division of by
giene of the city of New York, says that
$4,000 school children in that city are
distinctly undernourished, $4,000 more
are in need Of medical attention, while
still thousands more are in such state
of health that they win easily slip over
into undernourishment If present con-
ditions continue. 1t is impossible to do
much to correct in adults the results of
malnut-ition in childhood, but there are
about ten million children under Eve
years of age in American homes today
who can be prevented from making such

Our Greatest Food Conservers.

In Mothers Magazine for August,
Or. Goudiss pays a remarkable trib-
ute to gelatine.
He states that the use of ge'atine
in American homes has almost
doubled in Year, and is now a mill
lion pounds a month.
A million pounds Of gelatine
makes about 200 millions servings.
Used as dessert it requires little
sugar. Each million pounds of gel
atine, used to displace other sorts of
desserts, will save about ten million
pounds of sugar and some p mil
lion pounds of -four.
10 sWeeten fresh fruit or to make
preserved fruit requires from three
&c TOUR times as much sugar as to
make an equal quantity of gelatine
dessert. Other forms of desserts re-
quire both sugar and -four.
bot Seiatine is also great saver
OF left-ovcrs. It makes cooked and
liesh vegetables of all kinds into ap-
Le'izlng salads. It makes meat
scraps into jellied meat leaves which
everybody likes. All things consid-
ered, Seiatine must be regarded as
our greatest food conserved.

type is called Jiffy-Jell. 1t comes

The Czech Resolve.

Elsewhere we have attempted to
show that the present allied victory
on the west front should be meas
ured by is moral effect. One of the
reaching effects is seen in the
resolution of the Czech League, in
troduced Saturday in the lower house
of the Austrian parliament by Dep
uty Stanek.
This resolution declared that a
continuation of the war was useless
from the standpoint of both human
ity and political utility. 1t asserted
that all peoples should have the
right to self determination and asked
that the house demand that Austria
Hungary oppose the annexationist
and imperialistic policy which had
gained the upper hand in Germany
and try itself to find a way for
democratic peace.
There was an expression of the
sentiment that is spreading ike WIG
fire throughout the dual empires ana
in Germany itself-peoples that have
had more than their fill of grinding
imperialism and are more and more
determined to throw off the yoke.
| They have been ground down too
long and in the high American p"r-
pose they see the dawn of hope.
Deputy Stanek said the Chech peo-
pie would become great and strong
despite the prosecutions of narrow :
minded government. The Czechs
| never before were SO united, SO
ready to fight. so certain of victory
They were united in Arm will, ne

foreign yoke. The Czecho- SlovalI
state was a fact which could not he

Meanwhile. the world verdict on
Germany's war methods and the Ger
tain hatred everywhere for the Hun
when the war is over, is best set
forth in the language Of interned
Germans in Spain who blame sub
marine and other forms of German
frightfulness for the hardships they
suffer simply because they are of the
same blood as the war masters. Hans
August Balthoff. German engineer
formerly employed in Brazil. says:

Senseless War Reports

AS the President would approach
it. may we not suggest to our read
ers the folly of swallowing whole al
the cock and bull yarns and rumols
of these exacting days? Every day
the Journal is called upon by alarmed
or disturbed people to deny ire
sponsible reports. These reports
range from reverse Of the allied
armies" to the capture of the
Kaiser"
On the streets Of Augusta other
wise sane business men repeat such
balderdash as that the French. Brit
ish, Americans. Canadians and Aus
tralians arc no longer taking prison.
ers; that German unfortunates fall
ing to their mercy are shown no
mercy Whatever, but are put out #
their misery" at once.
awhatsa monstrous libel to repeat
al the expense Of civilized rules OF
war! Is It necessary to state every
day that the American and allied
forces are not Hottentots or Huns;
that they neither indulge in cannibal-
ism nor in heartless cruelty? Is it
necessary to point out that in the
last II days since the counter attack
on the crown princes forces began,
the entente armies have taken more
than $4,000 prisoners Dust how
many more probably will not be CT
ficially given out until the thing is
! over)?
Then why repeat such senseless
, and diabolical yarns accusing allied
| fighting men of deliberate and whole
sale murder?
When the Boston American with it's
idiotic headlines. based on nothing
that the dispatches reveal, arrives
why give voice to its unprincipled
appeals tc the rabble and the sensa-
ton, mongers?
Above ell, let us not accuse our
boys Of Hun methods. for that is not
war, and the filmy foundation of some
good liars talent to shock his hear-
ers is pretty poor proof that the
Canadians are bayonetting all
bosches captured. because they
found two of their own men cruc;-
