ESTIMATE OF LAST
YEARS LUMBER CUT

WasAington, March ia lum Der
production of 39,200 900, 900 feet in
the United States in 1917 is the pre-
liminary estimate of the Forest Ser
vice, based on incomplete reports up
to February 26 About one half OF
the "a 900 mills listed by the Forest
Service and the National Lumber
Manufacturers association had at
that time made reports. Because OF
the need for an accurate census, caus-
ed by the conntry's wartime demands
for lum ber, officials in charge of the
work are urging delinquent mills to
report as soon as possible.
The estimate is based upon the re
ported cut of S45 Identical sawmills
each Of which cut five million feet or
more lumber in either 1917 or the pre-
cedlng year. The reports of these
mills indicate that in nine states
there was an Increase in production
and in the rest of the country de
crease. Te largest increase was in
Missouri, where the gain over the
1916 cut was almost "A per cent. In
the south, Louisiana, Georgia, Flor
ida and Alabama showed increases
varying up to about 10 per cent.
Wisconsin and Michigan, in the
north, and Washington and Oregon
in the northwest, were the only other
states in which the cut increased,
North Carolina, with decrease of
more than % per cent, showed the
greatest falling off in production.

FUTURE DEPENDS ON
 BABIES OF TODAY
Weak Children Threaten to Under mine the America of Tomorrow

The natcns future rests on the care of the babies now. and the crying need of the day is the proper nourish- rnent for children. In the first drafts for conscripts. the medical boards all over the country turned away hun dreds of young men without even examining them, so apparent were their deficiencies. rU enty years ago. these young men were the under nourished children.
 The year 1918 has oeen called The Children's year ana was inaugurated by the childrens bureau of the United States department of labor, and the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. These organizations with our government behind them, are asking the women of the United States to bend extra effort toward say ing the lives of our children, also to help in the building up of their health.
New Britain herald., 1918-07-06

in the United States six casualties in the cradle No baby is safe until every mothers baby is safe" Our babies arc the best barometers re- syarding national conditions, for they lead in showing when things are right or wrong. The baby is the first Whu reacts to change, and the reaction of war is a rising death rate and a fall ine birth rate.
 With war, food goes up, and at once many children are under -nour- ished. Another contributing cause to fewer births and more deaths is the fact that with war, more women arc forced to industry, The slogans that should go out to American women during the baby saving campaign are,-DOnt practice food conserva ton on children. Take care of the mothers. Keep your standard of 1jv- ing up.
 The greatest work must he a1uoui~ the pre- school children. Through the milk station in this city many mothers have already consulted the nurses HS to their babies All those who wish advice can obtain it aS.the nurses wish 10 help in every way possible. Every patriotic woman who sees a baby that needs care and attention should urge the mother to take it to the milk sta ton. France has been made to sec what her children mean to her and there is 8 slogan over there that runs thiS way,-"ThiS work must be SD efficient that no baby will be forgot ten and no mother ignored" Those

The protection of child life IS 8 pa trotic duty.
 In nearly all large cities. there is a milk station, where mothers may take their little ones. Nurses are always in attendance. and on certain days there are doctors. Mothers who are at a loss as to what to feed their little ones, and how 70 feed them, will be advised by those in charge ot the milk station; formulas will be pro Vlded and each day the mother may call for or send for the milk, pre- pared in proper form to meet the needs of her particular child. The same formula does not agree with all children. If is necessary for the nurse or doctor in charge to examine tho little one, aud make LID formula that will provide Just the CorreCf amount of nourishment needed by that child The New Britain milk station is doing splendid work along these lines Babies arc inCrea sing in weight and are looking healthier than when first brought there. Ever Thursday morning free clinic k held, with Dr. Robinson in charge. Any mother in the city who is at 2 loss as to what to feed her little one, may take it to this clinic and procure the right kind of food for her baby.
 Tt is six times safer to be soldier in the trenches of Europe, than to bo a baby in the cradle in the United States. so declares Dr. $. Josephine Baker of New York. for every man on our roll of honor there are today

Supreme Court Decides in Favor of the Associated Press; BrandieS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. TT The United States Supreme Court has sustained the injunctions granting the Associated Press the right to stop the International News Service from pirating news.
 Associate Justice Pitney in deliv- ering the opinion, referred to the counter charge made by the Inter national News Service that the As sociated Press was guilty of the same practice. Justice Pitney said there was nothing in the proceedings that put the Associated Press in the posi- ton of having unclean hands.
 Justice Brandies dissented. He said he believed that the opinion sustaining the injunctions laid down l dangerous principle, which might result in the denial to a great num- Der of people news that only the Associated Press secures and pub. fishes. He said half of the news papers were dependent upon other sources than the Associated Press.
