Crops Proue Poor

Germany's struggles with the food
problem have hitherto been in the facs
of adverse crop conditions. Every war
year has had its own tale of crop fail
ufe TO tell; and plous persons might
even find grounds for holding that
heaven Itself IS enlisted against Ger
many. I'm 1918 prolonged drouth
through May and June gave very bad
gram yields and the smallest hay crop
or many years. The next year the
grain crop was fairly good. but the po-
tato yield was the smallest for several
decades some 23,OOO0 900 tons, against
am average of about 50 100000 for the
three previous years. Last year,
hhaily' was bad for grain, and cspe-
claily so Tor hay; and the potato crop.
which mad been proclaimed very large,
seems now to have been only about
30 100000 to 10000 600 tons.
That Germany has come through
these bad years in a fashion, must be
taken INTO account in considering her
ablllty to continue the combat against It
starvation. just now the most critical
months OF the year are approaching
Immediately before the new production

the authorities are keenly aware of the
danger of these months is abundantlv

Prices Moderate

OF course, prices for foods sold on
card are igdly controllcd; and these
are mostly rather moderate-as moder-
alton goes in Germany now. Thus the
bread price would average probably
lower than in New York. and potatoes
are consd derably lower Recently peo-
pie were complaining at Frankfort that
the price of potatoes had been steadily
raised and had now reached $2.33 a
hundredwcight (110 pounds). Sugar
and few other things are rather
cheap.
Meat bought on a food card also fits
in with the present German ideas of
cheapncss. The mutton prices adopted
by the Berlin authorities several
months ago were 72 cents the German
pound for the best cuts and SO for
inferior cuts, including bone. Contrast
with this the price Of rabbit sausage.
The Munich merchants protested re

Forced to Slaughter

Last year the supply of grain was
running very short toward the end of
the season, and the government tried
to hurry forward the new crop by
offering premiums on early thrashings
In the spring of 1915 swine had been
slaughtered at a prodigious rate owing
to exaggerated estimates OF the feed
shortage. Later, far too many pigs
were bred; and, about year ago, when
1t was again seen that real scarcity
of feedstuhfs was at hand, another
great slaughter took place. This was
repeated IN the autumn, after it was
seen that there would be no potatoes
for feeding. That is why the distribu-
tion of pork had finally to be stopped

Pin Money for First Lady.

A philadelphia lawyer has provided

dents of the United States during the
term OF office. In case n president

benefit of the endowment There have
been several mistresses OF the white

was not made long ago.-Christian

Proper Clothing Prevents
the Ever Obnoxious Colds

Few are aware OF the Importance Of
properly clothing our bodies TO pre-
vent taking cold, states n writer In
the Christian Herald. There are two
points always to be kept IN mind
when thinking OF proper clothing.
First. all clothing must be porous, or
pervlous, and the other is that the ex-
tremitles should be kept warm.
II we recall the fact that when we
live proper lives the skin exudes MS
much moisture In the "a hours as the
lungs do, and that the lungs and skin
eliminate as much moisture as the kid
neys, we see how imperative II Is that
we take proper care Of the skin, so
that II may perform Its natural func-
lions. The wearing OF impervlous
garments prevents the escape OF the
persplration and tends TO disease.
II we decide to wear only porous
clothing, we must exclude furs for
our ~wardrobcs; but this would upset
the fashions. which would eve do.
And we wear furs around our necks.
Just the place where they should never
be worn, for the neck never suffers
from cold naturally. We constantly
neglect the extremites. allowing them
TO become cold. while we wrap ovr
necks with the skins Of animals.

Life Of a Baby Depends
On Care and Decent Home
Conditions Given Mother

Reports made by the federal chill
dren's bureau show that the chances
for life OF n baby grow appalllngly less
as the fathers earnings grow smaller.
Some of the figures quoted in the re-
port are p~athetically eloquent. The
report Is made upon studies of infant
mortality among 1900 babies In eight
American cities, typical industrial cit
les OF the East and middle West.
Here are some Of the statistics I:
O%ne-fourth OF all the fathers earned
less than $3.50 a year. II was found
thnt IN such families one baby in ev-
cry six died. Only about one-elghth
Of the fathers earned $1,000 or more,
and II appeared that In this class only
n baby In sixteen died. II is as
serted that the rise OF prices and the
Reorganization OF social and indus
rial life on account OF the war &C.
centuate the importance of this per
sistent relation OF income to infant
mortality.
The final deduction seems TO be en-
bodied In these words: "These studies
show that to provide mothers care
and decent home conditions, the ia
theirs must have adequate incomes,
In Manchester, N. H. nearly one
fourth OF the mothers whose husbands
earned less than $3.50 II year were
gainfully employed only about a tenth
when the husbands wages were 81
900 or over. The babies of mothers
who went out to work died at more
than twice the rate Of more fortunate
children ."-Rochester Democrat ant
