Dear Mother and all:
Having arrived in Berlin o. k. and

about it. The trip was none of the

good in Germany at present. Not
many trains running so when they

Modification of Milk.


! Decide on the amount to be fed
at a single feeding and the total
number of feelings in "a hours. Take
the amount of whole cows milk
suited to the weight and digestion
capacity of the infant, dilute the
milk with sufficient boiled water or
cereal water to bring it; up to the
desired amount for the total number
of feelings. .One-half to ounce of
sugar (for cane sugar, 8 to 6 level tea
spoonfuls) should be dissolved in the
boiled water or cereal water before
adding it to the milk. Mix well and
divide it into the desired number Of
feelings. =
Cereal water instead of boiled wa
ter may be used after the first months
for diluting the milk. During the
early months, it should be made .by
using only one-half level teaspoonful
of flour Charley or wheat) to a pint
of water. This may be gradually in
creased to two level tablespoonful at
6 months and three level tablespoon
fuls at months.
i, In making cereal water, mix the
-four in a little cold water until it
is a smooth paste and then stir this
int a pint of boiling water. Let the
mixture cook over a flame until it
thickens and then cook slowly in a
double boiler for at least one hour.
Do not salt for young infants.
Example: Aswell baby, six months
of age, weighing "A pounds, has a
stomach capacity of ounces; there
fore, if six meals a day are given,
the total amount to be given would
be Sc ounces; if five meals a day are
given, the infant could safely be
given z ounces at feeding, making
the total amount IS ounces; allowing
liz ounces of milk to the pound
weight gives a total of Fl ounces.

kissing of the president at an Irish
meeting in ew York." De Valera said,
this is not the attitude of the Irish
people. I believe we can get the sup

De Valera said Britain has no more

Opponents Plan To Keep Will
son From Making Tour.
Republicans VIII Invite Him
to All Committee Meetings.
HITCHCOCK GETS THE HOOK?
Reports Persist Swanson VIII
Lead Fight for League.
Virginia Senator Will Deliver
"Keynote" Speech.

Washington. July 12.-An attempt to
prevent Wilson making his cross
country tour in behalf of the league
of nations by keeping him in daily at
tendance with meetings of he SEN
ate foreign relations committee was
being discussed today by league op-
ponents in congress.
Senator Moses New Hampshire. q
new Republican member of the COM
mittee, said today he plans to offer
a resolution in the committee Monday
inviting President Wilson to attend
the session of that body, beginning
at 10 a. m. each day while the peace
treaty is being discussed.
More Effective Service?
'I think the president could more
effectively serve his country in this
way than by making stump speeches
thruout the nation" said Moses.
President Wilson has already ex-
pressed a willingness to give all in
formation possible to the committee.
other Republican members said
today they favored having Wilson
meet the committee to inform it fully
there is controversy or doubt. Borah
said he would vote for a resolution
inviting Wilson to appear.
Many Democrats also would like to
see the presidents offer of his serv-
ice, made in his speech to the senate,
accepted al once.
The view generally taken was that
the committee cannot refuse to invite
the president to appear. in view OF
his clearly expressed desire to do so
If he should refuse. no claim could
ever be made that the senate was
forced to act on the treaty without
proper information from the president
1t was pointed out. However, Wilson'S
friends want him to attend only a few
sessions.
Another development was a persis-
tent report that President Wilson had
decided to ask Senator Swanson. Vir-
ginia. to handle the fight for the
league in the senate. displacing Sena-
tor Hitchcock, who has been the ad-
ministration spokesman. Hitchcock
has never been on friendly terms with
Wilson until recently.

LIKE TRAIN OF ANTS
Tourists Are Now Constantly Passing
Over Kansas


More than 1000 tourists will pass
thru Kansas during the summer. ac-
cording to an estimate prepared by J.
A. Fansler. manager of the Kansas
Good Roads association
At the present time the majority of
the cars are bound west for Colorado.
the national parks. and Pacific coast
points. But the thousands of cars
passing thru on the westward journey
now will be coming back bound for
home in the east about the first of
September.
Many of the turists call at the Of
flee of the Kansas Good Roads asso-
citation. according to Fansler, each one
of them asking for information as to
routes and trails and road markings.
Nearly every tourist has a good word
to say for the universal excellence of
Kansas dirt roads-but each one of
them remarks the excellence with a
mention of some disappointment
caused by the lack of dustless hard
surfaced roads
1t is the aim of the Kansas Good
Roads association to cause to be built
5000 miles of hard surfaced highways
within the next few years. This ac-
complished Kansas should be a mecca
for more thousands of tourists.

Hopkins Denies Truthfulness
of BrOeker Statement.
He Refused To See Salina Pro-
mOter Friday.
iRGUES WITH HIM THRU PRESS
Says He Never Urged BrOeker
To Go to Kansas City.
Attorney General Is PeeYed at
Topeka State Journal.

In a statement today r. J. Hopkins.
attorney general. branded as lie. the
statement Of Felix Broeker to the ef-
feet that the attorney general lad
telephoned to Broeker in Chicago ask
ing that he come to Kansas City for a
conference with state officials. Hop
kinss statement was made in reply
to an interview which the State Jour
nal carried with BrOeker.
On several occasions recently Hop
lSins has asserted that he had denied
Broeker an Interview. He refused to
talk with criminals. he said. Some
what less concern was shown today.
tho, when Hopkins on his own motion
sought to debate with Broeker in the
columns of the newspapers.
Calls 1t Flat Lie.
1T is a flat lie" said Hopkins in
answer to the Broeker statement.
ANY statement that l urged Brocker
to come to Kansas City is lie"
Then Hopkins sought 10 place the
responsibility on the State Journal
with a broad inference that the Ter
view taken in good faith had been
manufactured.
Il don't know whether Broelser or
the State Journal is responsible for
the statement. but it is a lie.' said the
attorney general TIE whole story
was a defense of Broeker. If the "a
per wants to defend criminals. it can
ge' many more such interviews from
inmates of the penitentiary."
The interview with Broeker was
published by the State Journal in alb
solute good faith. 1t was Brokers
first statement of a matter that has
been much discussed in connection
with the closing of the Kansas State
bank at Salina.
This paper did not vouch for
Brokers statement. Neither does it
vouch for the Hopkins statement The
statement which Broeker made in To-
peka was published that the readers
of the State Journal might hear both
sides of the controversy. The question
of Hopkinss plan of causing Brokers
arrest at the time of the Kansas City
conference was under consideration
by the executive committee of the
state bankers association. That or
ganization failed entirely to give mem
ton of any praise for the Hopkins
method of handling the Salina contro-
versy and a number of members spoke
feelingly of his policy of trying the
case in the newspapers.

REFERRED TO I.C. C.
Revision of Interstate Rates May BE
Made in Near Future.


Washington. July 12.-Revis on of
interstate freight rates in Arkansas,
Kansas, Oklahoma Missouri. and
Louisiana was referred TO the inter-
state commerce commission by attor-
ney examiners for that body in a re-
port made public today. The report
says that existing class rates from
Memphis to Arkansas. Missouri and
Oklahoma points are unduly prejudi-
cial and also rates from Natchez,
Miss. to Arkansas points were found
to be discriminatory in favor of Nat
chez.
With respect to rates from New Or
leans to eastern Kansas points the at
torney examiner said a differential on
class rates over Kansas City should be
worked out between New Orleans and
Omaha and Sioux City.
Requests for higher rates from St
Louis. to Oklahoma points were de-
med. The report advises the estab-
lishment of a uniform scale of bridge
tolls. 1T the Memphis Mississippi river
crossing.
The case mentioned in dispatches
from Washington today is one OF a
series of interstate cases which the
state public utilities commission has
presented to the federal commission.
Action on the case was delayed during
the time the railroads were under
federal control.
