This same road Is strongly advocated in in

nine-tenths OF that is being thrown to the birds
(the variety which subsist on state contracts),
anyhow.
This is not the only place in Illinois where
state funds are being sqaandered in grading
dirt roads. Mercer county is to have a sample
or two end It is being done regularly else
where and the work seldom is done any better

though the cost always Is several times

Saving the Babies.

Americas baby crop for 1919 promises to
be the largest in the history of the country
according to the annual survey of the New York
milk committee, Just completed.
This prediction is made in the face>of re-
duction of nearly 100 per cent in the excess
of births over deaths during 1918 as compared
with 1917. This was caused by an unprece-
dented number Of deaths appro1imating 2.1so.-
900 in part due to the influenza epidemic and
war conditions.
Computations by the committee, based upon
figures obtained from health Of1cials in 1s7 OF
the largest American cities reveal these facts:
That deaths in the United States last year
increased $4,000 over 1917. This total is en-
elusive OF the $4,000 soldiers. who gave their
lives on foreign soil.
That 2,100 900 births occurred in 1918. an
increase of $1,000 over the previous year
That the natural national increase in pepu-
lation is estimated at 45o, 900 compared with
1ooo0 900 in 1917.
That the general infant mortality rate,
founded upon reports received from cities COM
prising 26 per cent of the population jumped
from 97.5 per thousand births to 1041.
Although estimates show that the baby. death
rate for the country Increased seven points,
the New York milk committee believes this
figure to be remarkably low when all the ele
ments conspifing against him-war unrest, high
cost of food and the influenza epidemic-are
carefully weighed The figures for 1918
fect increased activity on behalf Of the new
born and shows that the campaign Of the fed
eral government to conserve the lives OF
100000 infants during Americas second year of
participation in the var was not without its
reward. This movement combined with pre-
natal care work carried on with Increased zeal
by sundry organizations, particularly in the
larger cities shows conclusively that the pub
lies interest in the welfare Of the baby is grow
ing steadily.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Arthur Keeps His Guest Satisfied.

ANSWER-The folks must have
been studying Old Doctor Bunkem's
almanac, Arthur. A hearty appel
tie and q spare build is normal in
growing, active lads. A fellow
can't tell whether he has a tape
worm, but he may generally as
sumo be has none, at least until
his doctor finds segments of tape
worm or the microscopic eggs of
tapeworm.
Cures for Warts.
DR.. Brady thanks numerous cor
respondents who have informed
him of sure cures for warts. He
would be glad to print each rem
edy recommended, as most OF them
are harmless enough. But the fact
is that warts come and go, very
frequently, irrespective Of treat
ment. If 4 wart happens to leave
after you have sprinkled soda or
vinegar or tied pork swiped from
your grandmother around it, well
and good, but if we were to recon-
mend the sure cure here nine read
ers out of ten would find the rem
edies useless and decide that DR..
Brady gives poor advice. A little
local anesthetic and the knife, in
the doctors hands of course, is the
only satisfactory remedy for warts.

THE SOAP BOX MILK REFRIG.
orator.
The problem of keeping milk cold
In summer weather when bacterial
changes in milk not kept refrigerat-
ed cause so many disasters to bot
tle-fed babies, is especially serious
this summer, with ice selling at
outrageous rates Here is a bull
letin issued by the United States
public health service
A Home Made MIN Refrigerator,
Milk that is not kept cold is a
dangerous food for babies. Every
minute that the milk is much above
the temperature of ice the germs
OF disease are increasing in ii at
an alarming rate. Very many
babies die OF summer complaint
merely because they have been
given milk that has stood for
hours in q warm room. Keeping
the bottle in q refrigerator con-
tanning q small piece of ice does
not make milk safe food, for the
temperature in these boxes is often
So degrees to IS degrees F., that
is, far above the freezing point
Many mothers who have refrfg-
orators are unable to buy enough
ice in summer to preserve the milk
in them for "a hours. This should
not be, for anyone can make at
home a cheap but efficient milk
refrigerator requiring very little
ice. A simple refrigerator of this
kind uses less than five cents
worth of ice every day, and keeps
the milk below 40 degrees (that is,
near freezing point, SO that moth
ers having one may be sure that
the warm weather can not spoil the
baby's milk. (Mothers should re-
member that the milk may be dan
gerons although not yet apprecia-
bly, soured).
Get a soap box Is inches in
depth. Get a covered earthenware
crock tall enough to hold a quart
bottle of milk. Get a piece of oil
cloth or linoleum q foot wide and a
yard long. Sew the ends together
to make a cylinder which will fit
loosely around the crock. Place
the crock inside the cylinder and
stand them in the center of the
box Pack sawdust or excC lsior
beneath and all about them to keep
the heat from getting in. Com
plete the refrigerator by mailing
two newspapers to the wooden
