The weighing and measuring OF
Ellsworth and Randall babies, to-
gether with children in their vicini-
ties, has been completed and the rec
ords show sturdy lot of youngsters
in the southern part Of the county.
"The first seven years are the
most critical in every human life
II. Arlington Bruce, well known
writer and student, declares. "On this
point scientists are coming more and
more into agreement" he continues.
1T is then that the foundations are
laid for future physical strength or
weakness. 1t is then that mental
habits are formed. AS the wise Pascal
has put it: Every child at the out
set of life is little impulsive being,
pushed indifferently toward good or
evil according to the influences which
surround him.
Childhood, accordingly, is a time
of the utmost responsibility for par
ents. Yet too many parents there are
who do not appreciate this, or who,
approaching it, still fail to give their
children the guidance and protection
they need"

A Thrilling Lecture.

The lecture yesterday afternoon
was by Private Lowell of the Third
Battalion of the First Canadian Over
seas contingent, Toronto. Private
Earnest S. Lowell has great story
and he tells it well. If he ever puts
mis- tale into literary form the book
will rank with Employs "Over the
Top" or. the adventures of Private
Peat. Indeed, Peat and Lowell were

ATTRACTIVE ONLY TO TOURIST
Eastern City Of Mosul Not Q Place In
Which Wsstsrners Care TO
Make q Long stay.

Mosul. the modern Nineveh, Ia q
picturesque but not altogether attrac-
tive city. The houses are built OF
irregular blocks Of stone laid In thick
mortar. They are usually covered
with a white stucco, made BY burning
the local gypsum rock.
The roofs, of the same material as
the walls, are usually fat, with a
waist-high parapet, but are not infre-
Quently domed. Doorways are often
made Of slabs Of the easily carved
gypsum.
The streets are narrow and aim
less, forming a maze Of tangled lanes.
As there Is no system Of sewerage
whatever, they serve as repositories
for all the filth Of the houses that
border on them. They are rarely %
wide that more than two men can
walk abreast.
As q result Of the fine dust, the
filth and the glare Of the sun on the
white walls, ophthalmia and lung dis
eases abound. The flies. which breed
In the open refuse heaps In astonish-
ing numbers, swarm over everything.
They cause the button, common also

are the last vestlges Of Nineveh. cap
ital Of the second Of the worlds great
empires. In places, great walls of the
ancient city, built of tremendous
masses Of sun-dried brick laid on a
high broad wall Of cut stone, are still
traceable. The city was further pro-
tected by a moat into which the wa
tiers Of q small river could be con-
Quoted. It was hewn to a depth OF
20 feet and a width Of 30 yards, and
like the walls, is In evidence today.

The Romans were the great road

Orders which sustained the vast super

SUFFRAG|STS NOW
AWAITING PLEASURE
OF THE U.s.. SENATE

Washington, Feb. 2-Suffragists
have washed their hands about when
the vote in the Senate is going to be
taken. They left it TO the senate
suffrage leaders with the remark
"We demand only that the amend
ment be passed when the vote is TAX
en-, take it when ever you think best"
Senator Jones of New Mexico.
chairman of the suffrage committee
with a feeling for the dramatic pos
sibilities of the situation says that
his mind is centering on the % of
February ! Ordinarily no business
is transacted on that day but to pass
the suffrage amendment might it is
felt be regarded as a form of cele-
bration.
There is a probability that no
speeches other than brief informal
ones will be made in the Senate on
the suffrage resolution. The vote
will be postponed until every senator
whose mind might be changed has
changed it. A speech from the floor
it is taken for granted would be able
to add nothing to the work of CONVEX
sion now being done by senate lead
ers of both parties and of the suf-
frage lobbyists themselves.

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk On the other hand
raw fruits. especially apples and
bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment of the bowels. When the bow
els are badly constipated, however,
the sure way is to take one or two
of Chamberlain's Tablets immediate
ly after supper.

REPUBLICANS LEAD IN WAR
SUPPORT

The National Security league, q
bipartisan organization, has com
piled and analysed the votes of
members of congress on the eight
most important measures relating
to the prosecution of the war. The
league does not mention the party
utilization of any member, nor does
it mention any party in the lengthy
statement it has issued for the in
formation of the voters of the coun-
try. The vote of each individual
member is given, and the voter is
left to hunt up the party affiliations
if he sees fit. The league finds that
only forty-seyen members of the
house voted right on all eight of the
measures-that is. voted on the side
of the question that meant speeding
up of the war An inspection of the
list shows that of these forty-seven,
forty-three were Republican, md
four Democrats. There were seven
teen who voted right seven times
and wrong once. OF these, thirteen
were Republicans and four Demo-
Gratis. And so the record goes The
analysis made by the National Sc
curity league confirms the statement
heretofore made, that the Republi-
cans have been better supporters of
the war than the Democrats, and
that the voters of the country can
best stand by the government by
sending Republicans to congress.
