MATERNITY INSURANCE
TO AID CHILD WELFARE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 25.-That
health insurance, including maternity
benefits, is closely related to child
welfare is the assertion made by DR..
Frances M. Hollinghead, chief of the
children's welfare bureau of the state
health department., addressing the
legislative commission now studying
workmen's health insurance.
1T expresses itself especially in re-
lation to the work with infants and
prenatal work. she said. The
mother during the pregnant period is
entitled to a sufficient wage and suf-
flcient leisure to enable her to go as
safely as possible through the danger
period. If the home is always below
par, the reaction upon the mothers
health is bound to be severe. Sixteen
thousand mothers a year lose their
lives in the United States because of
accidents due to pregnancy"

PLEA FOR PARDON
FILED BY MOONEY
Request Made in Hope That a
New Trial May Be
Granted,

SAN FRANsICO, April 25.-The
first statutory move in the fight to
save Thomas J. Mooney from execu-
ton was made last Thursday
Counsel for defense filed with Gov
ernor William D. Stephens a lengthy
brief supporting MONEYS application
for pardon from death sentence i'm
posed upon him after his conviction
on a murder charge which grew out
of the preparedness. parade bomb ex-
plosion here in 1916.
MONEYS application is. based on
alleged irregular testimony at his trial.
It was filed after every legal method
to obtain a new trial had been ex-
hausted-after the state supreme
court had ruled that State Attorney
General L. S. WebRs consent" to a
new trial could not be considered as
it dealt with phases of the case "out-
side the records" and after the same
court had overruled an appeal based
on claim Of reversible error and in
sufficiency of evidence.
Pardon was requested in order that
Mooney might be retired on one of
the eight. murder charges pending
against him in connection with the
explosion.
Mooney does not ask Communication
of his sentence. 1t is submitted that
the only redress available to him is a
pardon, that he may have the benefit
of a trial by jury who may know
all of the facts bearing upon the
case," the brief stated.

POTATO COOKING IS
Often DONE WRONG


Potatoes contain all the different
substances needed by the body: Pro-
tein and minerals for growth and re-
pair; starch and fat for energy; and
minerals and roughagc for body regu-
lation. A diet CT whole milk and po-
tatoes is perfect; the fat and protein
OF the milk supplements the small
quantity Of these in the vegetable.
The fuel value of potatoes is higher
than that of any other fresh vege-
table used.
Common methods used in the prep
aration and cooking of potatoes are
wasteful. When potatoes are peeled
and allowed to stand for an hour or
two in cold water, they lose over half
the protein and one third their min
erals. The peeling also takes food

II, as is reported from Washington,
congress reconstructs the present In
come tax law within the next few
months so as to raise the normal rate
10 or II per cent and wipe out the en-
emptions of $4,000 for married men
and $1,000 for single mcn. the oppor-
tunity is coming when the American
people can register luSty kick
against the Shameless brazen-fa ced
manner in which the gentlemen in
congress exempted an army of office
holders from paying thier fair share
into the war chest.
1t would seem almost unbelievea BILE
that the professional politicians-who
are admittedly long on wind and short
on enforcing even-handed Justice
would have the effrontery to come
forward with a law containing such
glarins favoritism as exempting we'll

and political subdivisions while COM
polling citizens with incomes of $1,000
to $4,000 to stand for the tax
1t is probable that the new or

as $500 and still leave the patriotic
officehOlders. who are also exempted
from sarvice in the trenches and other
places where danger turks, In the full
enjoyment of their salaries of $4,000
to $4,000 without fear of TAXATION
1t is hoped in Washington to raise
an additional $1,000, 100000 and it is
probably that the masses of the peo-
pie, even the lowest paid workers,
would not object to paying their fair
share if they were not RECALLED with
these irritat ting illustrations of fav-
orltlsn'. which are wholly obnoxious
and anita gonistic to American ideas of
democracy and fair play.
Some congressman appear to think
that still another S1,0OO,O0O, can
be obtained by increasing tho excess
profits taxes, and anyone who will
take the time to study the financial
returns of leading corporations for
the past year will readily agree with
that point of view.
