SUMMER FOES OF BABIES.

July is the first of four months of spe-
cial danger to babies, and this year
war conditions make the summer
months particularly hazardous accord
ing TO information made public by the
children s bureau of the United States
department Of labor
In July the deaths of children under
two from certain easily preventable
digestive diseases are usually more
than double those in June BY Au-
gust the deaths from diarrhea and en-
teritis are three times what they are
in June, and the number does not fall
again to the June level until Novem-
Der
Conditions which lower the resist
ance of children make these diseases
more threatening This year the war
makes it more difficult and costly to
feed children properly, as they must
be fed if they are to be strong and
well to resist disease. At the same
time the toll of deaths on the Euro
pean battlefelds makes it more neces-
sary to conserve babies lives
This combination of circumstances
has made it imperative to increase pub
lie and private work to protect the
babies this summer. The national baby
test has pointed the special needs OF
the children in hundreds of eommuni
ties and found out the children who
must have special care Communitie,
are using various ways to meet tn,
needs revealed by the test. One wa,
is to advertize the value and econom,
of using milk, even at high price pc
quart, in feeding children. As one New
England mother said, milk is less ex
pensive than doctors bills.
The one way which has proved mos
effective in saving babies lives is tn
employment of public health nurse.
The public health nurse both in tn
city and the country can make genel
ally known the most modern means G
guarding ehildren's health, and tn
Children 3 Bureau believes that til
places which are employing such nurse
to protect their children and to NEE
the needs revealed by the test can i
;. that way do much to save babies an
| thereby TO meet the wars demand thu
| life shall be conserved.

1t is announced that the National
War Garden commission of Washing
ton has offered prizes in thrift stamps
for the best canned vegetables grown
in United States war gardens, which
leads the Christian Science Monitor to
observe that while canned vegetables
cannot be grown in war gardens, or
in gardens of any kind, it is safe to
say that no advantage will be taken
of this slight technicality.

there is talk that Otis w. Amidon of
Halifax will also be a candidate. I'm
der the old order of things this would
be the year for a resident outside of
Brattleboro to have the nomination at
this end of the county. and although
precedent does not count for much with
a direct primary law it would probably
be the disposition of Republicans of
this town not to present candidate
from this town with deserving aspir-
ants in the outlying districts.

their new home. lovely grassy nest
which they had built in low bush.
And only a short time after this Mr..
and Mrs. Indigo Bird seemed quite
nervous. They twitched and trem-
bled and shook when they saw people
! nearby.
"Cheep, cheep," they would say.
| Then Mr.. Indigo Bird to make people
forget about Mrs. Indigo would slowly
and carefully, flying little distance
at time, reach high branch or top
most part of a shrub and there he
would sing, his very best song.
The song began bravely every time.
He sang at the top of his lungs, but
each time he sang the song, his voice
grew weaker and softer towards the
end-just as though he had lost all
interest in the song.
But then he would begin again, sing
Ing Justify once more. and still another
| time the same thing would happen.

For this is the way Mr.. Indigo Bird
has of singing! But still this time he
had a great secret, and Mrs. Indigo
Bird had one too.
Back in the grassy nest were little
blue and white eggs, such precious
little eggs! Soon they would become
dear little Indigo Bindings and how
happy and excited Mr.. and Mrs. In
digo Bird were. The little birdlings
would soon come into the world, then
they would learn to fly, after that they
would learn to hunt for food-and Ia
ter on they too would guard other lit
tie nests of blue and white eggs.
So Mrs. Indigo Bird dreamed on
through the months as she looked at
the little eggs. And SO Mr.. Indigo
Bird thought as he sang so bravely
10 all the world.
1t was all he could do to keep from
singing, "Cheep, cheep, the little bird
lings, the little birdlings." But of
course he was too wise daddy to do
that, Only that was the little song
which was singing in his heart, and
his tiny breast fluttered and beat rs
he thought of those tiny eggs and of
all the joy they would mean to him.
self and Mrs. Indigo.
Soon the birdlings came out of the
eggs, and Mrs. Indigo whispered to
her mate, Aren't they beautiful? Do
you wonder I wear old clothes? And
what do.thc gossips know" For Mrs.
Indigo likes her dull brown feathers
for she can't be seen by cruel people

ed unless backed with gold.
 Secre tary McAdoo, in a letter to Representative Sulzer says next to food and ammunition gold is one of the most needed war essentials.
 Those interested in the gold have theories to solve the prob lem: that freedom from taxation might be allowed: that men en- gagged in the gold industry be exempted from the operation of the draft.
 The mining congrt ss contends that a bonus on gold production is the solution. That an agree ment could be made between the allied nations making the gold standard which is now twenty dollars in American money, thirty dollars.
 Such action would indeed be a godsend to the small operators low grade properties all oyer Alaska would be benefited.
 With the fifty per cent bonus, Alaska would again be the Eldo- rado of earlier days, but the peo- pie to benefit would be wiser in experience than the ninety eight CTS, so would not practice the doctrine of easy come, easy go'.
