SUMMER AND THE BABY.

Hot weather is very hard on the av-

take extra care OF the little ones dur

the summer is here. the Health De-
partment is anxious to cooperate with
all mothers in order to help them tide
the babies over.
Twenty-Five years ago about one
half the babies born died the first
year. Now about Is per cent die the
first year Still this rate is much too
high.
Note first, that:
Ten Bottle-Fed Babies Die to Every
One that Dies when the Mother
Nurses the Baby. In other words. bot
tle-fed babies have only one-tenth the
chance to live that breasted babies
have. So nurse your baby by all
means. II possible. It Is . crime not
to do so. Feed the baby regularly
and not every time It cries.

Qnrad, and as a result, when General Gage marched upon Lexington and Concord, 18,000 minute men mobilized at the gates of Boston within 4s hours, an amazing fact, when one thinks of the limited population at that time. It was the work of the committees of correspondence. The committees organized each locality, appealing to. the man at his hume, and thus pa- trIotic sentiment was developed which made of this country a great and in- dependent nation. And 80 powerfully did this impress itself upon the mas ter mind of Thomas Jefferson that when he was dying on the fftieth an- niversary of the Declaration of Inde- pendence he.seemed again to 'remem- berathose sdayssof stresstand trial at the beginning oflShe revolution and was heard to cry in his:ydearium- ex- citedly, "Warn the committees; warn the commIttees" 7s

It is a life-and-death grap- pie between the two great powers of right and might; but want to say -ad- visedly and deliberately that if saw clearly that the cause of the allies was going down to defeat, that we were to be involved in that defeat. that we were to suffer It's grievous and burden some penalties, would yet thank God that the United States went into the war and fell and suffered with the righteous rather than 1t should re main neutral and profit by other peo- ple's sufferings. have no regret that We entered into this war.

 Rule Of Force Must Go.
 Our people must be brought to real Lze vitally and practically that this war involves the sacred principle of righteousness in international affairs, the rule of reason in the common wealth of nations, and that unless this be vindicated by a peace with victory, all talk of the pacification of humanity, whether by The Hague tribunal or paper treaties or leagues of peace or in any other way you please, Is all rainbow phantasy and moonshine. Un- less there can be first established the great principle of right and reason the principle of law dominating sover- eIgn nations, a liberal civilization will perish from the earth. When Ger many and Austria attempted to crush Serbia without rhyme or reason, with out opportunity for discussion, Great Britain, France, and Russia said, Let us reason about 1t" and Germany said "Now "Then give us a little time" "No~ "Then let us have a confer ence." "Now "Then let us have ar bItration." "Now "Let us have me diation." "NoW "Let us discuss 1t in any way you please, by any expe- dient you may select; you can have Belgrade and occupy 1t as a hostage, but for Gods sake do not spill the best blood of the world needlessly. Ger many and Austria said, "No! You will do our will or you will have a universal war"
 If that principle of force as the ultima ratio Is to prevail, the world will go back centuries, even to the cave dwellers; because, if you go back even twenty centuries, the law of Rome had at least something of justice and of the obligations of law in its main- tenance of the worlds peace; whereas in this case you have a brutal and primitive negation of any principle of right or wrong, you have simple the assertion that might, and might alone, shall govern the affairs of men.

Not All United In '76.

A somewhat similar condition eH- isted when our Republic was founded. The great problem was to interest the people of the colonies In the struggle. That struggle has become such an epic that we are apt to think that all Amer leans had equal zeal in defending the constitutional rights of the colonies. The fact unfortunately was to the con- trary. John Adams, long after the revolution had been brought to a sue cessful conclusion, estimated that at the beginning of the struggle one-third of the colonIsts wanted independence, about one-third were very much op- posed to 1t, and about one-third were In a state of opportunist expectancy, waiting to see on which side the bal ance would fall. While Adams was something of chronic faultfnder and may have exaggerated, yet at the De" ginning of the revolution our people were no more of one mind than they are now.
 The great patriots of the revolution, men like Jefferson and Washington and Franklin, formed what they called Committees of Correspondence" in ey- cry different locality and thus they CO., ordinated the work of different local tiles and, as the crisis developed, there passed from community to community, through these committees of core spondence, the intelligence as to what was expected and what would be rh
