Save MIX and Save Lives.

Whipped cream desserts and lots OF
butter on bread mean that milk which
babies need is being sacrificed to pam
per adult appetites.
The chlldrens' bureau of the United
States department Of labor is trying to
save 100000 lives Of young children
during this second year Of the war.
Clean milk is food babies must have
to thrive; II they are not bottle-fed
their mothers need to drink 1t for them.
With the appalling rise In the price
Of grain, and the scarcity Of labor.
farmers are selling of their cows and
not nearly so much milk is being pro-
duced as heretofore. This In face OF
the fact that malnutrition of little chill
dren means certain death to thousands
lives needed to replace the awful
waste of war.
In order to save whole milk, both
England and Italy have curtalled the
sale Of cream and butter. Surely every
community In the United States will
exert itself to control the price of milk
so that 1t may not fail to reach the
children In homes where the income is
pitifully small, and will use the con-
tents Of the morning milk bottle very
sparingly until our sick soldiers are
plentifully supplied.-By Reinette
Lovewell Of the Vigilantes.

The Germans are great lovers of
fireworks, and perhaps no one sees so
much of these as the flyer by night
over the Hun lines.
There is one device, above all, which
is most interesting and inexplicable.
as well as being extraordinarily beau
tiful. This is known variously as
flaming onions" 'chain rockets" and
"green balls" 1t consists of long
chains Of brilliantly luminous balls, a
bright emerald In color, which rush
upward from the ground In lines Of
thirty or forty. or even more, and
which are chiefly fired at allied ma
chimes when on bombing raids at night.
The green balls form light relief and
take the alrman's nervousness and
strain away.

One Of the biggest steps yet taken In
the Introduction Of motor trucks as q
city-to-city carrier results from the de-
cision of the postofice department to
establish numerous parcel post motor
truck routes. These have already
been surveyed and aggregated between
1900 and 1900 miles IN length. with
shorter routes. One chain Of routes
extends from Portland, Me-, to New
Orleans, and another through the mid
die western states, while still others
connect principal cities on the Pacific
coast. It Is hoped that the operation
OF these routes and Of others to be es-
tablished win materially aid In the dis
tribution and In the lowering Of the
cost Of food products.

ELOQUENCE IN BRIEF WORDS
General Pershlns May BE Said to Hold
the Record, but There Have
Been Some Others

There are many four-mlnute war
time speakers, but so far as known
there has been but one four-wOrd war
time speech. That was the sententIous
utterance credited TO General PERISH
Ing. 1t was delivered at the tomb Of
Lafayette on the first OF last Septem-
Der In the presence of number of dis
hnguished persons who crowded about
the flower-cOvered grave In the quaint
old cemetery.
Lafayette, we are herew said Gen.
eral Pershlng.
There are other sententlous speeches
In the annals, but 1t is doubtful If
one can be found that combines as
much sentiment with its brevlty.
An exchange recalls a remarkably
brief dedication speech uttered by
Richard Mansfield on the occasion Of
the opening Of the Garrick theater In
Philadelphia. The eminent exponent
Of the drama took no advantage Of the
opportunity afforded him. He came to
the front, cast complacent glance at
the expectant throng and then grace
fully waved his arm and said:
II dedicate this building to theatrical
art"
This was very nearly as brief as the
ordinary boat christening.
Which recalls an incident that hap
pened many years ago at one of Cleve-
lands early-day shipyards. 1t intro
duced a peculiar combination of brew
Ity and novelty.
A big schooner-they were all wood
en- boats at that time-was ready for
her first dip into the waters of the
Cuyahoga.
A pretty young woman, relative Of
the owner, had been selected to swing
the bottle Of wine against the prov OF
the boat and say, II christen thee ]. G.
rockingham" If that was Its name.
Everything was In readiness. The
last prop awaited the final blow, the
bottle was poised in air. The yard
manager waved his hand. The bottle
struck the side of the ship.
Unhappily. there was defect in the
glass. The bottle collapsed in an un-
expected manner and threw its con-
tents all over the young woman's nice
white frock. Consequently what she
said was this:
II christen theeagood gracious -
And the stanch three-master GOOD
Gracious gracefully slid into the water.

around you'll know it's not the wolves.
Say, 1t was some welcome surprise to
find fire when l came In. Thought
first somebody travelling through had
put up. Then saw those slippers ly-
ing there. That was sure making me
take notice when you stepped out"
He chuckled at the recollection.
Hazel lit the lamp, and stirred up the
fire, plying 1t with wood. Then she
slipped a heavy bathrobe over her
nightgown and went into TIE chilly
kitchen, emerging therefrom presently
with tray Of food and kettle of wa
ter to make coffee. This she set on the
fire. Wherever she moved Bil'E eyes
followed her with CLEAN of Joy, tine
tured with smiling incredulousness.
When the kettle was safely bestowed
on the Goals, he drew her on his knee.
There for minute she perched in rich
content. Then she rose.
"Come very quietly with me, BILL"
she whispered, with fine air Of mys-
terry. II want to show you something"
"Surel What is TT" he asked.
"Come and see," she smiled. and
took up the lamp. Bin followed obedi-
emily.
Close up beside her bed stood q
small, square crib. Hazel set the lamp
on a table and. turning to the bundle
Of blankets which filed this new piece
Of furniture, drew back one corner. re-
vealing a round, puckered-1p infant
face.
"For the love of Mixer Bill NUT
tered. els it's it"
"Its our son." she whispered proud
ly. Born the. tenth Of January
three weeks ago today. Don't. don't
you great bear-you'll wake him."
For Bill was bending down to peer
at the tiny morsel Of humanity. with a
strange, abashed smile on his face, his
big. clumsy fingers touching the soft
pink cheeks. And when he stood up
he drew a long breath. and laid one
arm across her S00uloers-
"Us two and the kid" he said whim-
sicaliy. 1T should be the hardest COM
blnation In the world to bust. Are you
happy. little personf"
She nodded. cIlnging to him. word
lessly happy. And presently she COW
cred the baby's face, and they went
back to sit before the great fireplace.
where the kettle dubbed cheerfully
and the cracking blaze sent forth Its
challenge to the bevy Of frost sprites
that held high revel outside.
And. after a time. the blaze died to
a heap Of glowing embers, and the
forerunning wind Of northeast storm
soughed and whistled about a house
deep wrapped in contented slumber, q
house no longer divided against itself.

THE BAD AFTER EFFECTS

Those who 60 about trying to dis
courage people against doing their
duty in these trying war times new
er know the misery they cause the
unsuspecting poor devils who listen
to their poisonous words, and they
evidently don't care, just so they
can attain their own selfish ends"
: The soldier, native of North Caro-
Ida, who hanged himself in Rich
mond," says the Statesville Land
mark, rather than 90 overseas to
fight, had imbibed the teaching that
was heard in some sections of North
Carolinavand elsewhere in this coun-
try about the time the United States
declared war: That we shouldn' t 90
to foreign country to fight; that
the government had not the consti
tutional right to send men out of
the country to fight if they didn't
want to 60; that we should take no
part in the war unless we were at
tackled. The evil that men do lives
after them. 1t will be many a day
before the evil effects of these
preachments of the Tom Watsons
and his kind will pass; and it is i'm
possible to tell how many men they
have already sent to dishonor and
to death"
