Advice to the LOvelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
MERELY INFANT CAPRIcE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
My son married girl of whom lie
knew little. They have a baby girl
two years old. Last summer the wife
took the baby to visit her own
mother. Since their retura~ the baby
will not even look at her father.
What do you think could be the cause
of this? When he comes in at night
she cries. 1t is not because her father
has mistreated her or anything Of
that kind. This causes quite a few
arguments between the husband and
wife.
MRS. :.
think you are all taking a babys
whimsical conduct far too seriously,
and il is great mistake To allow
bitter feelings to develop because of
il. Very young children often go
through phases of this sort. but wise
parents pay no attention to them.
Sometimes a baby will cry at the APP
proach of any man whatever. 1t is
not likely. l should say not even pos
sible. that the child was taught an
aversion to her father, as you seem to
believe

do come true.
Nowaday we pedcsive that the
most impractical of men is the 'prac-

FALL FROM BED
FATAL TO BABY
Freed Infant, East Moline, ChOkes
TO Death When Caught Between
Springs and Cross Bar.

The 10-months-oId daughter of
Mr.. ana Mrs. John Freed, 1910 Six
teenth avenue, East Moline. was
choked 10 death about o'clock this
morning when in slipping from a
bed she was caught in some man
her between the SPRINGS and a
cross bar.
Together with her other child,
who is over year older, Mrs. Freed
left the infant on the bed appar-
emily asleep when she went out to
work in her garden at about 8
o'clock this morning On return
ing an -four and a half later she
found the child dead. The infant
had evidently cEawled around and
fallen below the mattress, becom-
ing wedged between the springs
and a cross bar on the bottom of
the bed. The cramped position
must have cut off the breath and
death evidently resulted within a
few minutes.
An inquest was being conducted
this afternoon.

LIBERTY BONDS
MAY BE PLACED
IN BANKS CARE

The banks of Moline have deter
mined upon a plan whereby all
Liberty bond holders who have no
facilities for keeping them may
turn them over to the institution
through which they were purchas-
ed and allow the bank to.take care
of them In depositing the bond
at the bank the holder authorizes
the bank to collect principal and
interest becoming due and TO cred
it the money thus obtained to the
savings account of the depOsitOr.
IN this manner all will be forced
to open savings account.
The banks also reserve the right
to exchange bonds of the depositoT
into bonds Of different denOmina-
tions and on withdrawal the bank
may deliver coupon bonds of the
same issue in place of the identical
ones deposited. This system will
enable the banks to care for them
with less trouble, for if there are
a number of $50 bonds to be han
died, it is much easier 20 procure
one of a larger denomination but
amounting to the same total The
plan will provide a satisfactory
way for bond buyers to geIieye
themselves of the Inconvenience Of
clipping them, it will Encourage
thrift by placing the interest in .
fund that will in turn draw inter
est, and it will benefit the banks
by an increased number of savings
accounts.

EAT SAUER KRAUT
AS WAR MEASURE,
- URGES FOOD MEN

Millions of pounds Of cabbage
will be wasted and production dis
couraged if the German derivation
Of the term sauer kraut is permit
ted to engender prejudice. The
spread of such prejudice in the last
few weeks has caused Food Admin
istratOr Hoover to take official no
tice in a bulletin deplOring agita-
ton against saueT kraut.
>"Sauer kraut is a good American
product, regardless of the name it
bears" says DIR. r. J. II. DeLoach,
agricultural expert with Armour &,
Co, and it behooves Americans 20
eat more of it than they have in the
past, not only to prevent q possible
waste of millions Of pounds already
packed, but also to cause greater
quantities than ever TO be grown
and packed this summer and fail.
Sauer kraut is not needed by our
allies, but nearly everything else
in the food line is, and the more
kraut we eat the more We will have
of other foods 10 send abroad
Under normal conditions the av-
erage American eats about two
POUNDS OF hTdut veal w e SIOllu
be eating a great deal more, be
cause the product is wholesome and
so rich in mineral salts that it is
very beneficial 10 the digestion.
Recognition of its value has caused
it TO be made a part Of the rations
Of our soldiers and sailors.
"Cabbages can he grown in great
quantities but only for few months
in the year and they are not easily
kept fresh. Turning them into sauer
kraut is the logical way to distTib-
ute them over the seasons. As the
demand for kraut increases, pro-
ductiOn will keep pace and the con-
sumers will benefit in health while
aiding the nation TO meet the de
mands of our allies for more food.

EXEMPTION FOR
THRESHERS MAY
HELP SITUATION

Because OF the absolute necessity
for plentiful supply of threshers
on the farms in this locality this
year, DR.. W. f. Taylor, Moline food
administrator, is making an effort
to secure the names of all thresh-
ing machine operators, with the in
tention of asking the government
to postpone the drafting of these
men until after the threshing sea
son. Numerous threshing outfits, as
a rule, travel through the farming
districts during the season, and
without these the average farmer
would be in difficult straits for
threshing his wheat.
The national wheat shortage is
not relieved and until Sept. l pres
ent substitution regulations must
remain strictly in force, according
to an announcement made today by
W f. Campbell OF the national
bakers service board Unless the
shortage is soon relieved many Of
bakeries may be forced to close.

On account of receiving an i'm
mense contract for automobile
clutches from one of the largest
automobile manufacturing concerns
in the country, Bork & Beck of Mo-
line have been forced to double
their capacity. To handle the big
increase in business and overcome
the labor problem, the plant has
taken lease on building in Gales
burg and will establish a branch
factory 1t is announced, however,
that this will not mean the removal
of the concern to Galesburg, nor
does it mean reduction in the
force in Moline. Enlargement of
the plant here is being considered
and a larger force will be installed
as soon as men are available.
I'VE found that we could not cope
with the labor problem in Moline"
said George Borg, secretary of the
firm, "and so we are opening sub
sidiary plant in Galesburg, where
men are available"
The Galesburg building has 3d.
900 feet of floor space, and the
lease is for year. Equipment for
the new plant is being packed ready
for shipment and will go forward
in a few days. Expectations are
to have the shops in operation July
