FACTS REGARDING THE CARE OF THE BABY
 By Q. s. Public Health Service.
Baby's Room

Baby's Room
 If the house is small, it is better to do without parlor which is not often used and give room to the little folks who will use it every day.
 Sunshine is as necessary for babies as for plants. A baby not given sun shine will droop and pine just as the plant does. Therefore, choose a sunny room for the baby's room and one which has windows and doors on op- posite sides so that a continual abund- ant supply of freish air may be ob- tained.
 The baby's room should be kept comfortably warm in winter. Furnace heat is better than stoves. Oil and gas stoves exhaust the air in a short time. An open grate is a great con- venience both for the additional heat and because it helps to keep the air of the room in circulation. The floor should be bare so that it can be kept clean by wiping it with damp cloth or dust mop. A few washable rugs may be added. Plain white sash cur tains should be provided at the win dows, as they can be laundered ire quently.
 Fresh Air-Fresh air is essential for the healthy baby. To obtain the best air without drafts put baby's bed in the middle of the room The windows may be opened from the top. They should be screened against flies and diseases carrying insects. Windows facing the hot sun should be provided with avn ings. In the winter time, a plentiful supply of fresh air without drafts may be obtained by tacking thin muslin or cheesecloth over the windows or on the window screen. This also keeps out particles of coal, soot, dirt and snow
 All the furnishings for the babys room should be of the simplest kind and such can be wiped readily with a damp cloth or laundred and so kept free from dust. The equipment may include a screen to protect baby from drafts. a low chair without arms for the mother, baby scales, bath tub, bas- ket for toilet articles and plain table A chest of drawers or bureau is g welcome convenience.
 Bed-Baby's first bed may be made in an ordinary clothes basket, lined with sheet. This can be picked ur

THE TURKISH NATIONALS.

That the nationalist party in Turkey would not approve of the action of the Turkish government in accepting the treaty of peace was foregone conclu- sion. The nationalists in fact en- deavored by their action to prevent the approval and showed by their establish ment of a new government that they were opposed to anything that was done in Constantinople. They hoped to be able to get control at the capital SC therefrom nor approve the methods of government. As in setting up a new government they are now as ready to de- fy the allies as they were the sultan.
 But while they are announcing that they. will oppose the terms to the bitter end, how much progress are they going to be able to make in such an effort? For some time they have been trying to show what their bitter end opposition means in connection with their struggle with the Greeks. Given a free hand by the allies to deal with the situation in Asia Minor as well as in European Turkey, the Greeks have been able not only to drive the nationalists back from Smyrna and to capture the city of Brussa, but they have defeated them in every contest in Asia Minor and now they have taken the important, battle-scarred city of Adrianople in European Turkey
 Possibly the nationalists feel that they are strong enough to make the defiant answer that they do. Possibly they are banking upon help from the soviet gov- ernment of Russia, but certainly from their numbers, their resources and the sort of opposition they have been giving to the Greeks it is an optimistic view they take when they give the impression that they can prevent the allies from carrying out the treaty terms. There is no use denying the fact that they can cause much trouble in various ways for the allies but it is folly for them to think that they can ebstruct the treaty. They have a right to differ with the view taken at .Constantinople but it cannot help be ing believed that the latter took the wiser course.

Lynching may seem to satisfy the ex- cited mob but it doesn't stop the com mission of crime any more than the en- foreement of the penalty of the law. Such being the case it is certainly far preferable that those who deserve the death penalty should have it inflicted in the legalized manner but that those who have not committed a capital of fense should be penalized only for what they have done.

U. S. LOANS ATs PER CENT
Need of Money Causes Big Interest
Rate Increase.

Washington, June 9.-Constantly in
creasing difficulties in financing the
needs of the government were indica-
ted tonight by an announcement by
Secretary of the Treasury Houston
that the next issue of treasury certifi-
Gates will bear interest of 81 and 6
per cent. This is the highest rate paid
by the government in many years.
Last months issue of certificates bore
interest at the rate of Az per cent,
which was the record figure up to
that time. There has been a steady
advance from a rate Of 4 " per cent.
In a letter sent to bankers turnout
the country urging their cooperation
in obtaining the widest possible distri-
button of the new issue of certificates
among investors, Secretary Houston
explains that treasury certificates to
the amount of nearly / billion dollars
Will mature on or before July Is. The
secretary said that while the greater
part OF these are provided for by the
income and profits tax instaliment
payable in June, 1t would be necessary
to dispose of treasury certificates to-
falling approximately 400 million dol
lars to refund the balance and pro-
vide for current requirements up to
that date.
The new certificates are issued in
two series, both dated June Is, one of
them bearing interest at the rate of
5A per cent and maturing January 8,
1921, and the other bearing interest at
per cent and maturing June 10, 1921.
