Save Milk 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 childrens' 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 a, food babies must have
to thrive; If 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 Off their cows end
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 curtailed 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
pitiful!y small, and will use the con.
tents of the morning milk bottle very
sparlngly until our sick soldiers are
plentifully supplied.-By Reinetts

Parcel Post by Motor.

One of the biggest steps yet taken In
the Introduction of motor trucks as a
city-to-city carrier results from the de-
cision Of the postoffice department to
establish numerous parcel post motor
truck routes. These have already
been surveyed and aggregated between
5000 and 1000 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. 1t is hoped that the operation
or these routes and of others to be es-
tablished will materially aid In the dis
tribution and In the lowering of the
cost of food products.

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

There are many four-minute 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 Persh-
Ing. 1t was delivered at the tomb of
Lafayette on the first of last Septem-
Der In the presence of number of dis
tinguished persons who crowded about
the flower-covered grave I'm the quaint
old cemetery.
Lafayette, we are here!" said Gen.
eral Pershing.
There are other sententious speeches
In the annals, but II Is doubtful II
one can be found that combines as
much sentiment with its brevlty.
An exchange recalls 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 Mt
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. II intro
duced a peculiar combination of brew
ity and novelty.
big schoOner-they were all wood

pretty young woman, relative Of
the owner, had been selected to swing
the bottle of wine against the PROV of
the boat and say, 81 christen thee ]. G..
Frothingham," 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 n defect in the
glass. The bottle collapsed in an un-
expected manner and threw its con-
tents all over the young womans nice
white frock. Consequently what she
said was this:
Il christen thee-good gracious !"
And the stanch three-master Good
Gracious gracefully slid into the water.

l have been asked to tell what I
think Of the liquor question and have
to break over the traces at the jump.
| do not discuss the ''liquor question" !"
Spades are always spades with me,
and always call them spades. That
Is why i use the word booze. I can
talk about booze and its effects, but
such a nice expression as the 'liquor
question" gets my goat. Giving the
stuff the right handle can grab It and
tell all know about 1t.
Here It is, in one bunch: Booze
doesn't make winners.
There never was a winner in the
world that built his winning on booze.
l don't care what line you get into,
you won't find one winner who used
the stuff to his advantage.
Ask Grover Cleveland alexander
how much booze has helped to make
him the best pitcher that Charles
Weeghman could buy to give the Cubs
n pennant.
Go out to your Chicago university
and ask Coach Stagg how much booze
he feeds his football or baseball play
ers, or his track athletes.
Ask Charlie Comiskey-bless his old
heart-if booze ever helped him when
he was flrst-basing around the country.
Or ask him how much booze has done
for Eddie Collins or Red Faber, or that
center fielder Of his, Happy Felsch.
You'll get the same answer anywhere
you go-the old, old answer to the so-
called 'llquor question" 1t doesn't
pay, ii never has paid, and 1t never will
pay.
And winners don't use Il. They
can't use it and win. And, after all,
the Lord must love n winner. For
winning means clean living, and clean
living means efficiency, and efficiency
means decency. None of these things

alcoholic degeneration, however,"
Professor Woodhead points out, "does
not proceed equally in every part of
the body. The weaker tissues are first
attacked and the patient gives way at
the weak link of the chain. Alcohol
calls upon the reserve strength which
ought to be held like balance ut the
bank to meet sudden and unexpected
emergencies. If you have such a phys
ical reserve, you are able to tide
over emergencies and wear out gradu-
ally, but IL you let alcohol withdraw
your balance. exhausting your reserve,
you may become physical bankrupt
