DIR. BALL WELCOMED
BY Committeeman
Republican Nominee for
Senator Addresses Party's S
Workers Meeting
REUNITED TO FIGHT
DEMOCRATS, HE SAYS

Members Of the Republican City
Committee were addressed last evening
by Dr.. L. Heisler Ball, the partys
nominee for the United states Senate,
and he was given an ovation when he
appeared. Dr. Ball dwelt at length on
the issues Of the present campaign,
saying that the reunited Republican
party had served notice at the recent
State Convention on the Democratic
party that the rank and file would
hereafter fight them and not them
selves.
This statement was loudly cheered
by the committeeman. Or. Ball eX-
pressed his appreciation Of the loyalty
Of the committeeman In supporting
him. and predicted that the reunited
party would win a victory at the com
ing election.
In urging upon his hearers the ne
cesslty OF conducting a personal cam
paign among their constituents in Or
der 10 combat certain declarations OF
the opposing party, he discussed vari-
Gus planks in the platform adoped.
with particular emphasis upon that
which pledges the support Of the party
in successfully prosecuting the war.
He declared that the war was not one
of democrats or Of Republicans. but a
war Of the patriotic citizens Of this
country. Therefore, he said, the war
is not and cannot be made an issue oil
the campaign.
Speaking Of the great problems TO
come after. the war, he said 1t was
necessary that the Republican party
should be in power TO solve them. He
spoke Of the tariff plank in the plat
form and Of the Democratic charge
that it is a dead issue.
This charge he denied, and declared
that a protective tariff would be neces-
sary to safeguard American interests
after the war.

A BABY SAVING CAMPAIGN.
Federal Childrens Bureau to Launch
Campaign April o.

Last year the number of deaths
of infants under five was 100000
To reduce this appalling loss OF
prospective national strength, the
Federal Children's Bureau is to
launch Baby Saving campaign
April 6.
Some of the practical measures
for which the bureau is working are
these:
Immediate registration of births,
medical skill provided at once where
parents cannot afford it, care for
both mother and child at time o.
birth, clinics to which sickly chill
dren can be brought for examina-
ton, and a nation wide campaign
to have babies weighed and measur-
ed, to see if they are up to stan
dard.
1t used to be remarked, that our
government spent millions to study
and prevent diseases in hogs, but
spent nothing on its children. A
Federal Children's Bureau has now
been established, but only a begin
ming has been made toward saving
wasted child life.
The business community has been
far too Indifferent to this loss. II
children had been properly cared foI
ten and twenty years ago, we would
not now be suffering from the scar
city of labor. Many families where
the old people now suffer from
| poverty, would be comfortably sup.
ported by grown up children. 1t is
economic folly to allow children, to
! the raising of which SO much physi
cal vitality has already been given
to slip away from us.
These deaths are of course large
ly among ignorant people who de
not know how to care for young
children. But these families will dc
a great deal more for the commun
ity, will work more contentedly ant
! energetically, if they have good
families of healthy children coming
along. And that is only the econo
mic argument. The pathos of thi:
early death of young hopes ough
to stir our hearts to active sympa
thy and lead to measures to eAtent
care and education.

ADVERTISING AND BUSINESS.

Bradstreet's says that eighty
four per cent Of all failures are
among non-advertisers."
Which considering the source OF
the declaration is pretty conclusive
proof that advertising pays. says
The Atlantic Constitution.
When Bradstreet says that only
sixteen per cent of business fail
ures are among advertisers the
statement has real significance.
No business firm ever became ,tru-
ly great except by the aid OF adj
vertising,
Like competition, advertising is
the life of trade Without it, in
modern days and under modern
business conditions, no commercial
or other business concern can
achieve the success that it can with
it.
That is automatic, as every sue,
cessful business man will attest.
Outside, possibly, of personality
and integrity, advertising is the
mightiest force, positive and, potent
in present-day commerce and bust
ness.
