Unsettled.

The world seems going to the dogs,
and governments are Slipping cogs, and
everything is wrong; all sorts of crazy
notions thrive, and Windy Jims are
much alive, and anarchy seems strong.
The voorhees, workers bras and boast,
and send us bombs by parcel post, and
rough on rats by mail; and while the
laWless hobCes zip some gents
may lose their grip and sweat some
blood and wall. The worlds unsettled
for II time: the German carnival of
crime broke all our mornings loose; it's
vain to walk the floor at night and say
that everything in sight is going to the
deuce. Did o suppose when war
was done that everything would
smoothly run. without q kick or balk?
Did you suppose we'd all get back to
walking in the same old track without
a squeak or squawk? The world was
shaken to it's base, and everything
knocked out OF place, and naught unin-
jured stood; did o suppose the dawn
of peace would make all signs of tu-
mutt cease? Your guessing was no good.
I am surprised things run SO we'll right
after four l~ongayears of hell, when all
u holds were lost; we can't endure
such years Of strife and then resume
the old time life-we have to pay the
cost. The gents who send their bombs
by mail in time will find such pasttime
stale, and they'll start pitching hay;
and all the talk Of blood we hear. of
bringing in a reign of fear, will shortly
die away.

The initiation brought on by the war.
the 10 cent dollar, has thus brought about
a startling redistribution of wealth.
The question now before the world is,

This would keep prices permanently

would be easy. The 80 cent dollar would

BABY IN THE WAY.

A man came to see me on a queer
mission Il few days ago. He wanted to
know where he could put a 4 months
old baby for two weeks. He was q
fairly we'll informed, we'll dressed man.
probably OF foreign birth, and he lived
in q fairly prosperous boarding house
section. This is what he said:
My wife waited five years before she
had a baby. We said we wouldn't have
any. but some folks got talking to her
and they. changed her mind. But now.
III tell you. we are sorry. Now, that
she has got it she wishes she didn't
have it. 1t cries all the time. especially
nights.
mo. she don't nurse it. She gives it
condensed milk. Some friends told her
to wean it. They said it would he less
trouble thai way. You bet they got
her in bad. Yes. we give the sweetened
kind. You know we board, and there
is no place to keep milk. We have no
icebox and do not get ice.
The baby is a months old. or
course. we feed it nights. It cries and
she has to do something. She feeds it
when it cries. 1t don't have a regular
time to eat. o. yes. it's a big fat baby.
AOoS ~ pOOAOS dIlU my vile, SHE
is about sick. What we want to know
Is where we can put the baby for
about two weeks, SO me and my wife
can catch up on Sleep"
There is more than one lesson in this
conversation. For one thing, some one
told this wife that breast feeding was
more trouble than bottle feeding. n
lot of people think that. and this is one
reason for h weaving of SO many
young babies. Breast feeding is much
less trouble V e when the baby is
healthy. When we take into considera-
ton h much greater likelihood that
the bottle fed baby viii suffer serious
illness h advantage is seen to be al!
on the side of breast feeding.
Another thing. this baby is badly
trained. Probably wrong training is a
larger factor than wrong feeding.
To begin with, the. mother did not
have much mother instinct. She had
learned more about voluntary birth
control than h had about mothercraft
Even after her baby came she was will.
ing to wean it because some one tolc
her that h would ave herself some
trouble. The result Of it all is that her
baby Is ill tempered and she md her
husband must pay che penalty. Tina,
is. unless they can hire some one else
to care for the baby while. they sleep
] and get back the 30 pounds.

official Rat catchers.

From the London Times.
At the board of agricultural it was
stated that the great campaign against
rats is being pressed with energy and
success. Latest reports showed that at
Liverpool. for instance. rats were be-
ing DESTROYED at the rate of 10000 per
annum. The corporation employed five
official rat atchers working under the
direction Of the medical officer of
health.
Manchester is another center from
which an active campaign is being or
santzed. Ships are being fumigated with
sulphur, dioxide. A local rat catching
company is doing much business in trap
ping rats on board ships. while the ship
Canal Company is cleaning the ware
houses and transport sheds. Bootle has
employed an official rat catcher. and
many other towns have followed suit.
Lincoln is supplying the catchers with
poison. while some county boroughs are
paying the catchers by the head.
