DO 1T FOR BABY.
Our Second Line of Defenses-By Ruth
Danenhower Wilson of The vigilantes.

Suppose you were Red Cross nurse
in charge of the diet kitchen of one of our
conYalescent hospitals in France On you
would rest the responsibility of seeing
that the food was properly prepared for
our boys who were trying to get strong
enough to go back to the firing line.
How tirelessly you would study the
preparation of their food. How remorse-
full you would be if through your ignor-
ance or neglect one soldier was made
wore or retarded in his struggle for
health. Can't you imagine what an enor-
nifty it would be if you gave any of them
the wrong food, or meals improperly pre-
pared? How the other nurses would talk
Perhaps you would be reported and sent
home for having failed in your duty.
We mothers must consider our duty of
feeding our babies and children just as
sacred as if we were that Red Cross
nurse. She is nursing Americas first line
of defense. We are bringing up "the sec.
ond line If our ignorance or careless
ness retards our babies development we
are just as culpable as a nurse who fails
in her duty
So many infant deaths are directly due
to faulty diets.
my baby eats everything we do"
many a mother says proudly of white,
habby baby that is ready to succumb to
the least illness. Let me quote Mrs. Max
West, one of the specialists of the chill
dren's bureau at Washington.
"The digestive machinery of young
child is no more capable Of dealing with
all the foods which an adult may eat than
are their muscles and brains capable of
doing the work of grown person"
The question of what to feed babies
and children is a complicated one to
which doctors have given much study
The results of their work with diet lists
for various ages are freely at the dis
posal Of every American mother. Our
government is teaching us to bring up
our second line of defense"

to do" for her baby has only to write

EVERY u. S. SOLDIER
TO HAVE BANK BOOK
Enabling Him to Draw $3.50 a Month
from Disbursing officer, If Pro-
posed Change Is Put Into
Effect.

With the American Armies in France,
July l7-(Correspondence of Associated
Pressl Every American soldier in
France will receive bank book" en-
abling him to draw $3.50 a month from
any disbursing officer, if the change in
pay methods of the American expedi-
tionary force now under consideration
is put into effect. The purpose is to en-
able every soldier to obtain promptly at
least a part of his monthly pay re-
CARELESS Of where he may be, whether
in hospital or with some organization
other than his own.
The "pay book" system is in use in the
British army The sum Of $50 month
has been fixed as the minimum which a
soldier should have for his personal
wants every month and it would be Civ
en- him on his demand.
Each three or four months there would
be general accounting, at which his
total pay, his insurance and other allot-
ments, his Liberty loan subscriptions
and other items would be cast up, to-
gether with his monthly drafts. The
balance then due him would be put at
MS ulspoSai.
The soldier would have the advantage
of being able at all times and under all
circumstances to draw something from
any quartermaster in whose district he
might find himself.
The proposed system would eliminate
the present necessity of having on hand
each soldiers service record whenever he
draws any money. The service record
system, designed for times of peace, does
not take into account the frequent shifts
which all military men must be pre-
pared for. In many instances nova
days it works hardships on individual
men who are transferred faster than
their service records can follow them and
who consequently cannot draw their
money when it is due, merely because
the formalities cannot be complied with
The proposed new system appeals as
specially advantageous for camps where
there are constantly large numbers of
Casual" -strays belonging to dozens
and scores of organizations waiting to
join their outfits yet unable to draw
what money is due them until the serv-
ice records have caught up to them.

TO BENEFIT ALASKA.
Legislation Just Enacted by Congress Is
Important.

Washington, D. c., July l7.-lmpor-
tant new work by the coast and geodetic
survey has been made possible by en-
aiding legislation contained in the sun
dry civil bill just passed. Secretary Red.
field announced to-day that the author
ity granted viii be utilized without de-
lay, especially for the collection of data
on tides and currents and surveys in
Alaskan waters, which. will be of great
value to commerce.
Authorization was given in the bill for
the payment of not to exceed one dollar
per day as extra compensation To EN-
ployes of the different stations of the
| lighthouse service while observing tides
or currents. Lightships are peculiarly
well situated in positions where il Is de-
srable to collect tide and current data,
but such observations are not part of
the duty of the bureau of lighthouses
and in the past could not justly be i'm
posed on the lightkeepers of that bureau
without some additional compensation,
and the appropriations for the coast and
geodetic survey could not be expended to
recompense them for such additional du-
ties without this authorization. From the
results of data collected by lightships it
isiexpected that predictions can be made
which will be OF direct benefit to naviga
tors and 90 far toward saving many yes
sells from loss through inadequate knowl-
edge of the direction and strength of the
ocean currents.
This bill also authorizes the bureau to
purchase supplies or procure services in
the open market in the manner common
among business men where the amount
of the purchase does not exceed $50. In
stances are numerous in the past where
the necessity of securing competitive bids
for small items have materially delayed
the progress of field work and such re-
quired procedure has actually cost the
government more than the value of the
article purchased
Other items of enabling legislation are
the authorization of the running of lines
of precise levels in the interior of Alas
ka; the employment OF craftsmen in the
preparation Of plans and specifications
for vessels the reimbursement under
rules prescribed by the secretary of com
merce of officers of the bureau for food,
clothing, medicines, and other supplies
furnished for the temporary relief of dis.
tressed persons in remote localities and
to shipwreeked persons temporarily pro.
vided for by them.
Three important items of additional
appropriation for the bureau are con-
tanned in the bill. One is an appropria
ton of $4,000 for new vessel to cost
not exceeding S354,0O0 Another is the
appropriation of $4,000 for new mo.
tor driven vessel including equipment, to
replace the Taku, condemned as unsea.
worthy and sold. The third is for four
or more new launches, including their
equipment, $62,500 The two new vessels
are for much needed surveys of the wa.
tiers Of Alaska, and the launches are for
use in wire-drag. surveys.

The execution of NJ. Duval is the sec
ond growing out of the German propa
ganda of "Boloism" or "defeatism" in
France. The first to face the firing
squad was Bolo Pasha. Soon after his
execution the trial of Duyal and six
other defendants was begun.
The trial of Duval and his associates
began on April % and concluded May l5
with the death sentence being imposed
upon Duval and the six others being
given prison terms ranging from two to
ten years. Among the others convicted
were M. Marion, assistant manager of
the Bonnet Rouge, and Jeane Leymarie,
former director of the ministry of the
interior
Early in 1914 the newspaper Bonnet
Rouge was established with Miguel Al
mereyda as its editor. After the out
break of the war the newspaper pub
lished attacks on-the French government
and otherwise aided German propaganda.
The newspaper was suppressed last sum
mer and its suppression brought about
the resignation of Louis j Malvy, min
lister of the interior. On the resulting
wave of political turmoil, Georges Glenn
enceau came back into power
Almereyda was arrested and died mys-
teriously in prison under circumstances
pointing to suicide. Duval was accused
of taking money from German bankers,
obtaining it in Switzerland where he
went with passports given him by the
ministry of the interior.
In addition to Malyy, another prom
inent French politician, Joseoh Caillaux,
was mentioned in connection with the
Bonnet Rouge case. Malyy on Tuesday
was brought before the French Senate,
sitting as high court, to answer a
charge of treason Caillaux, who is in
prison awaiting trial, has written to
Paul Deschanel, president of the Cham
Der of Deputies, renewing his request
that the government hasten his trial on

High Cost of Living Here and "over
There"

Next to the latest news Of the war,
the most popular subject of conversation
is the high cost of living
yes" complained woman both of
whose hands were loaded with diamonds,
"the food administration asks us to save
wheat, but many of the substitutes are
more expensive and in these days of the
high cost of living every penny counts.
IL is true that some of the wheat sub
stitutes do cost cent or two per pound
more than wheat, but this cannot be
helped, for they cost more to mill.
If they sold for twice, three times,
yes, even if the other cereals sold for ten
times more than wheat, however, the
food administration would still urge the
patriotic housewives of America to use
them, for its purpose in doing SO is not
TO show how cheaply you can run your
household, but how to help win the war
by saving the food the allies need.
Let the American woman who com
plains of the high cost of living and hest
tates to pay these few extra cents that
possibly some of the wheat substitutes
cost her, read the following letter, which
was received by the Belgian high com
mission OF Cne IHlteu States, from Ma-
