AND MEASURING
THE BABIES OF THE COUNTY.

Children under the age Of five years
in Baraga county will be weighed and
registered the latter part Of July,
the work being done under the super
vision of Mrs. Brinton p. Allen of Pc
quaming, county chairman of the
Child's Welfare Committee.
The rural districts will be visited,
and in the towns the babies will be
taken to the appointed places yet to
be named.
The government has requested
that all children under the age of five
years, be weighed and measured, as
the height and weight of a child may
be considered as indexes its gener-
al health. Through the weighing and
measuring test the government hopes
to get health census of the children
of America, so that steps may be TAX
en-, if necessary, to maintain their
health.
The first two years of the war in
England showed marked increase in
infant sickness and death. TheBrit-
ish government took the situation in
hand, and the infant mortality of En-
gland today is lower than it was be-
fore the war. Our government is
proiting by England's experience
and hopes through the information
acquired by the weighing and meas
uring test to safeguard the health of
the children that there will be no
needless infant sickness or infant
deaths in the United States during the
war.
The weighing and measuring move
ment is nationwide.

A Linotype purchased from the
Mergenthaler Linotype Company has
been installed in our Office, and cor
dial invitation is extended to all our
readers to come in and see this won
derful machine in operation.
With our large and growing family
Of readers we have been brought to
feel that the Linotype is positive ne
cessity to any newspaper which
claims to be at all modern and up-to-
date, inasmuch as it will greatly in
crease the amount Of home news each
week and give better service to our
advertisers.
The illustration shown herewith
gives but faint idea of the machine.
While the Linotype is called type
setting machine, it is really COM
posing machine, and today is standard
everywhere. 1t is a machine operat-
ed by finger keys, like a typewriter,
which operation assemblies a line Of
matrices from which matter is COM
posed. Instead of producing single
type characters, it casts bars, or
slugs, from hot metal, each complete
in one piece and having on the upper
edge the characters properly justified
to print line.
Prior to the advent of the Linotype
a number of mechanical contrivances
were brought out for setting type by
machinery, most of which turned out
to be utter failures, while few were
perfected up to point where type
could be set but the cost was found to
be entirely too expensive.

over No Mans Land with pair Of
field glasses and / don't know whether
the Boches saw US or not, but they
threw over some big ones at us-some
shells they call n millimeter. One of
them went over me about fifteen
yards and one other landed right close
to the bottom Of the tree I was on,
but just as luck was it didn't burst
and I wasn't bit sorry. It didn't
take me long to get out Of that tree
and had to 60 right down to my
dugout and change clothes.
But, mother, at that, this Is the life.
Very exciting game-if we 60 back,
alright, I'll have lots to tell you
about.
Well, Mother, how is everybody out

AT THE PASTIMF.

"Poly Of the Circus" tremendous
Goldwin picture made from Margaret
Mayo's great play, with famous little
Mae Marsh as its star, will be shown
tonight at the Pastime theatre.
The picture is the first release of
Goldwyn Pictures Corporation.
formed by Samuel Goldfish in asso-
citation with Edgar Selwyn, Margaret
Mayo, Archibald Selwyn and bril-
liant group of authors and play
wrights.
The story of "Polly, (which has been
given tremendous production in its
picturized form, is that of a mother
less girl of the circus, and Of the part
she plays in the drama of life in a
small American village. 1t is ro-
nance Of the sawdust ring and has
been termed "the classic of the Big
Tops"
Polly is hurt while doing her "act"
and is taken to the home of the local.
minister to be cared for. Here
pretty romance buds, but before it
blooms it is interrupted by the gossip
of the villagers, and Polly goes back
to the circus. But the circus comes
back another year and Polly and the
minister pick up the threads Of their
romance in dramatic climax.
The picture is filled with realistic,
scenes of circus life, the most thrill
ing of which is fire in the big tent
and the stampede of the audience. It
required fully equipped circus to
produce this realism, and you are per-
mitted to see complete circus per-
formance on the screen; the arrival
of circus in the town at daybreak,
the great street parade, the departure,
in the black of night. The greatest
horse race scene ever put on the
screen is another Of the thrilling Incl
dents Of this remarkable picture.
Tomorrow night the screen play,
"The Highway of Hope" featuring
Kathlyn Williams and House Peters,.
will be presented. The story Of the
play shows scenes in the west, with
action in the desert and a mining
town, and with the two stars, is sure.
to be strong card.
Dainty Marguerite Clark, whose
"Bab" pictures are well remembered,
has new vehicle, "Rich Man, Poor
Man, (which will be shown at the Pas
time next Wednesday evening. This
is a splendid screen subject, filed with
tense dramatic situations by the aid
of which an absorbing dramatic story
is developed. It is one of the best.
photoplays in which Miss Clark, the.
sweetest girl in motion pictures,
has been seen in this city, and it
seems certain that her many admir-
ers will turn out in force at the OPEN
ing display.

Merchants must not sell over two
pounds of sugar at one time to fam
lilies living in town, and not more
than five pounds at time to families
living in the country. They may,
however, sell lots of above amounts
as often as necessary to make up the
family allowance of three-quarters of
pound per personper week.
For canning and preserving an ad-
ditional allowance of sugar may be
sold as follows:-
By requiring the customer to sign a
statement that the sugar will be used
solely for preserving and canning the
retailer may sell twenty-five pounds
at one time. In case an additional
quantity is required by the same per-
son or family, permission for such
purchase must be given by the local
Food Administrator by endorsing
such certificate upon the back there
Of, but in no case should more than
three allottments of twenty five
pounds each be sold unless the pur-
chaser has permission direct from the
FoodAdministration at Lansing.
Home stocks are subject to inspec-
tion by local Food Administrator to
check the amount of preserves against
the amount Of sugar purchased. II
will be insisted that even with very
acid fruits the housewife be able to
show IN quarts Of fruit for each
pound Of sugar, and that with most Of
the fruits such as raspberries and
blueberries they will have three
quarts for each pound Of sugar.

Father Ketcham Active
APPOINTED TO INSPECT coNDI
TIoNS AMONG INDIANS IN MON
TANA AND WYOMING.

The Rev. w. H. Ketcham, director
of the Bureau of Catholic Indian Mis-
sions, Washington, has been designat-
ed by the Board of indian Commits
sioners to inspect the conditions of
the Indians in Montana and Wyoming.
In connection with the great work
that Father Ketcham has been doing
for the betterment of the Indian race
in the United States, it is interesting
to note that last October when he, as
a member of the Board of Indian
Commissioners, inspected the condi-
ton of the Choctaw Indians residing
in the state of Mississippi, and made
very comprehensive report, suggest
ing various measures of relief-that
this report was incorporated in a
speech made in the House of Repre-
sentatiVes by Congressman Venable
and in the last Indian Appropriation
Act Congress appropriated $4,000 for
the Choctaws in Mississippi, specifi-
cally providing for the various recon-
mendations made in Father Ketch.

CATHOLIC NURSES SAIL
LARGE NUMBERS OF SISTERS
AND NURSES TO ENGAGE IN
WORK OF INTERCOLLEGIATE IN
EARLY HOURS OF MORNING.

In the early morning darkness and
under the strictest military discipline
hundreds of Catholic nurses and Sis
tiers have been sent to France during
the last few weeks. So quiet and
secret have been the movements of
these Bands of Mercy that only few
persons knew of their sailings.
The nurses and Sisters have all
been under command of a regular
army officer and marched through the
stiffness before dawn to st. Stephens
Church, in an eastern city, where they
were received by Bishop Patrick j.
Hayes, Bishop Ordinary of the Amer
lean Army and Navy Promptly at 3
o'clock Mass was said for the depart
ing Sisters and nurses and each re-
ceived Holy Communion. Then, to
the command of the military officer
in charge, the black-robed figures
march to a waiting train to take them
to a nearby Atlantic port to await the
first boat for France.
AS much secrecy has been main
nurses as has been spread about the
departure of troops. The Rev. Joseph
P. Dineen, Bishop Hayes secretary,
has had many of the nurse units in
charge and has escorted them to
trains in the early morning. He said
last week:
Catholic nurses and Sisters are
going over by the hundreds. The
units are composed of 100 women, all
in charge of a regular army officer.
They are marched here from the
Nurses Mobilization House, always in
darkness. They are formed in reg.
ular military formation aud obey the
commands of their officer like we'll
drilled veterans. The Bishop is al
ways up and ready for them and
greets them as they march into the
church. Immediately following the
Holy Communion the nurses and Sis
tiers are again drawn up in military
formation and marched to their train
These nurses and Sisters are not
confined to the army, as many of them

navy nurses. The latest unit to sail
for France was made up of eighty
nine trained Catholic nurses and
eleven Sister nurses. All of this unit
were mustered in in the far South, but
were modified at a certain time in
the East. 1t is not permissible tc
say just how many nurses we have
sent over, but the number is large
much larger than those on the outside
world ever dream"
1t was announced by Father
Dineen that Bishop Hayes and himself
would sail for France within the mex
| few days. Bishop Hayes will take
active charge of affairs of the Church
there.
