Healthy Children.

CHE government at Washington,
through the children's bureau of the
department of labor, is doing great
deal to improve the health and happiness
of babies and young children. 1t issues a
number of excellent little leaflets and pam
phlets on prenatal care, infant care and
child care. Most of these are free.
1t also is now issuing a list of Good
Books and Pamphlets on Child Care"
which is very valuable for any mother to
have. A number Of these publications are
issued free, and the others are obtainable
through any book store at very reasonable
prices. The purchase of one book, if it
saves one doctors call, has paid for itself
in money. 1t pays for itself daily in the
increased health of the children
All one has to do is to send postcard to
the children's bureau, Washington, d. c.,
asking for the free leaflets, including the
list of books. This is trifle for any
mother-or father-to do for the children,
and it brings returns far beyond the effort
expended.

They Shall Not Walk.

n N THE good old days grandfatherloved
II to tell how, when he was a boy, he
II walked 10 miles to school and 10 miles
home and MIXED the COW morning and
night. But times have changed. We safe
guard the health Of our children now.
Grandfather only lived to be SO, and doubt
less his early demise was due to the hard
ships of his youth.
In order that the children in one district
may not be imperiled by over-activity, the
women in some communities have demand
ed portable schoolhouse. If the children
cannot walk to school, you just load the
school on the flivver and take it to the chill
dren.
1t is beautiful idea Learn and grow
fat! The little ones shall not be kept thin
by exercise while they acquire their book
learning.
But there is one question which might
arise and make some such difficulty as the
Japanese demands are making in the peace
conferences Suppose Willie Smith lives at
the east town line, and Minnie Schaefer
at the west, who shall decide where the lit
tie red schoolhouse shall make it's nest?
Perhaps they will take up the school and
go out to Willie's, and educate him on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, then, off in a
whirl of dust to Minnie's, and fatten heI
mind on Mondays and Wednesdays. 1t can
doubtless be arranged. But one thing is
sure, the child must not walk to school, he
might get frail like Grandfather, and per.

Shall We Bring Them Home?

n BILL has been introduced in con-
IAN gress to provide for an American
Wan field Of honor in France, where 1t IS
purposed to lay the bodies of our boys who
died abroad. Funds are to be provided for
it's maintenance and it is to be as carefully
tended as Arlington.
This suggested plan does not mean that
those who prefer will be debarred from
bringing the bodies of their boys home.
The government has already announced It's
determination to finance such a proceed
ing wherever desired, and the storm OF pro-
test with which the suggestion has been
met is not deserved.
1t is natural to wish to lay our own be-
side their kin, with the feeling that it will
make them happier and that we ourselves
will visit them often. But numbered with
living cares. how often can we visit our
dead, however dear?
And those boys who died abroad after
all, will it mean SO much to them at the
numbering flesh from which death set them
Tree SHALL rest III one place rather than an
other: And would they rather be brough5
back! They came to know something
about human love, about fellowship, that
nothing but war could teach them. Theirs
was llinship passing the love OF women.
Ii the departed spirit can return unto
its own, those boys have all come back
long since They did not have to wait for
tortuous journey over miles of continent
tai railroads, and long days tossing in the
hold of a ship, or for prayers and tears over
a box that cannot be opened when it ar
rives but must stay sealed and remote as
if still in France
Bring them back if we must. But after
all, their bodies will rest sweetly in the land
for which they gave them, and:
paradise is the soldiers land,
Their country its shining sod
Comrades all in merry band
And the young knights laughter pleaseth God"

Why This Change?

GPHE finest thing about the war; so far
as America was concerned, was the
spirit of cooperation that is devel-
oped The nation functioned more per-
fectly than ever before in all it's history,
and incomparably better than it had been
functioning in recent decades
Political parties largely dropped their
preiudices and rivalries and worked to-
gether The government held out it's hand
to business, and business responded with
right good will. The ablest men in many
lines of industry and commerce gave their
services to the nation, freely and gladly.
Congress dropped it's suspicion of captains
Of industry. Corporations showed them
selves possessed of unsupported patriot
ism. Bankers and laborers toiled for the
common cause with equal enthusiasm and
self-forgetfulness. The farmers did their
share. It was literally peoples war, and
all kinds of people helped each other to
win it.
Now that the war is won, are we going
to lose all that generous spirit, and the
fruits that come from it?
Already there are only too many signs
of reaction. Congress once more is a
nest Of partisan politics. Government and
business begin again to distrust and antag
onize each other. Labor and capital grow
FESTIVE and intolerant again. Wartime CO.
operation melts away, mechanism and spir-
it alike.
