Mothers have learned to weigh their
babies: they must also learn that
1t is just as important to weigh
their oder boys and girls
When children do not grow or
gain regularly in weight, something
is wrong. If these boys and girls
are weighed regularly every month
this condition of malnutrition would
be discovered early and not allowed
to go on to serious consequences.
The causes of malhutrition are
in most cases not difficult to find.
Among the most important are:
/. The child does not get sufficient
food.
2. He does not get the right kind
. of food. He spoils his appetite for
simple foods needed for growth,
such as milk, cereals, vegetables.
etc, by excessive Indulgence in
candy sweets, pastry, and other
indigestible food.
3. He eats irreguar1y, between
meals. sroiling his digestion by
cakes and trash.
4. He bolts his food. never taking
time enough at meals to chew his
food properly. but washes 1t down
with water
s. He drinks tea or coffee instead
Of milk and water.
g. He does not get enough sleep;
at ten or eleven years he does not
get to bed until 10 o'clock or after
when he should be in bed Mt 8
o'clock. and sleep with windows
wide open.
Z. He suffers from habitual con-
stipation.
8. He gets too much stimulation
and emotional excitement-motion
pictures and other evening enter
tainments.
.. He plays too hard--too many
hours or in too active and intense
a manner.
10. lie Is overw0kcd in school or
out: sometimes he has too many
extra lessons or classes outsidc u
school hour
IL. Malnutritlon may also be
caused or aggravated by such
things as decayed teeth, enlarged
or diseased tonsils or edenoids, and
Il may be the beginning of some
serious disease.

hookworm are present malnutritloa

A HUSBAND Is WHAT
A WIFE WANTS HIM TO BE.

My views on marriage are from
experience. The first six months
of my marriage were very much a
failure, due. ! know. to my own
foolishness. But later on, after
realizing that / was making my
self miserable and also every one
else, l tried to be different. L
succeeded, and now for nearly
whole year i have not heard one
cross word from my husband and
have spoken none to him. i re-
fuse to find fault with him or any
thing he does, except when he is
wrong. and then have learned that
a playful correction goes further
than a snappy one. Now my real
ambition is to be good house
keeper and cook. I also hope to be
able to take my baby home soon
from the hospital and be good
mother, too.
After ain there is pleasure In
pleasing others and happiness In
the arms Of the right man. Surely
I have discovered there IL some
thing in the saying "A man Is what
a woman wants him to be"

REPLY TO rURK,s LETTER.

In a republic such as ours, based
upon the Square Deal" the views
of a foreigner are perfectly well
come, provided the foreigner Is lib
eral enough to iet an ordinary
American criticise them when they
run counter to American ideals.
A. T., the Turkish foreigner who
volunteers to tell us that our mar
riage system is based upon 'the
wrong Pan" is evidently a cynic
or an egotistical jackass. II his
theory is correct, Allah must have
overlooked a bet when he failed to
provide for the birth of seven girls
to every boy. In Turkey, as else
where, the birth rate Is about even
for both sexes. How is this Turk
ish egotist who brags about being
educated at Oxford going to give
every gentleman seven or eight
female concubines IL every Turk Is
going to have his share? Some Of
the greatest men in history have
been educated at oxford, and some
of the greatest cads in oblivion
have likewise been educated there,
but the greatest ones whose names
are stars of the first magnitude in
world history have been the hus-
bands of great and good wives
whose unions have been indisputa-
BILE proofs of the Success of Mar
riage.
Turkish gentlemen" may call
their homes "harems" on the Bos-
phorus; in America we generally
call them houses of ill-fame or dens
of prostitution. A Turkish gen
tleman" may use a whip to force
favorite mistress to bring him his
coffee, but in America where so
per cent of all our marriages are
a success no gentleman would
ever use anything but "A LOVING
REQUEST to have his wife TO bring
him a cup of coffee. IL Turkey Is
a country where women are whip
ped into Towing" their masters. no
wonder it is foul blot upon civil
ization; and no wonder that virtu-
GUS Armenian girls have been forci-
bly, made harem slaves when such
brutes as Turkish "gentlemen' are
permitted to exist.
MEXICAN WOMAN NOT MASTER
Surely the Turkish -American fe-
male that the Turkish gentleman"
Is going to bring back to his harem
doesn't consider herself a Jewel
II she does, she is evidently some
burnt out piece OF carbon who
couldn't find a real mate in land
OF respectability. I know several
Turkish women who do not believe
In harem immortality. These women
arc cessfully and lHppiiy mar
ried and they do not share their af-
fections with six other concubines.
The Turk Is stating falsehood

never yet been defeated in any con-
test. Phey are always equal with
their husbands in the home. No
whip is ever kept on the shelf to
force them to do their duty. They
rule their homes with the greatest
LOVE. Seven Of them would never
share the whip OF one egotist Each
of them want their own man.
There are some unsuccessful mar
riages and some foolish divorces.
but the institution of marriage is
not the cause of 1t. The fault lies
with the people who marry. Because
, some men and women are failures
doesn't prove that the American
people are failures. Because some
mollycoddles and some sissies can't
get along in married life doesn't
prove that MARRIAGE is a failure.
STATISTICAL EVIDENCE.
Although not married my knowl-
edge OF life. gained through rea-
son, observation and experience,
has taught me from statistical evil
dence that Marriage is Success.
To 1t we owe the greatest Of all
institutions THE AMERICAN
HOME, where 80 per cent of our
people live in happiness and love.
IL we were to Judge America by
certain elements OF our Smart
Set" and our underworld" perhaps
It would be possible to say that our
country is "a land of harems:" but.
thank God we Judge America by
the American home, where every
woman Is the equal of her hug
band, and where no man would
commit suicide IL his wife told him
he was naughty" which he some
times is and ought to be corrected.

Ferment Are the Causes:

Greeks and British Ready
for Great Offensive:
Russians Stir Moslems

CONSTANT1NOPLE, July IS (By The
Associated Press 1.-The prediction of
disinterested statesmen that the pro-
posed peace treaty with Turkey, appor-
tioning the choicest parts of the Turk
ish Empire among the various European
powers, would Balkanize the entire Le-
want seemingly has been realized. War
exists to-day from the Black Sea to the
Dead Sea, the Turks and Arabs being
engaged in fighting with the British,
French and Greeks in almost countless
places.
Palestine, Syria, Cilicia. Anatolia and
Thrace are in religious ferment. The
Mahometans are massacring or de-
porting Greeks and Armenians. The
Christians are retaliating wherever
they are strong enough to do so.
The Russian Bolsheviki are taking
hand through their contact in the
Caucasus with the Tartars, connecting
the Asiatic struggle with their battle
front from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
They are stirring the Moslem world to
greater resistance by promising add-
tional contact with Soviet Russia
Bolsheviki declare. they will subjugate
these latter countries as soon as they
have attended to Poland. They plan
in this way to thwart possible domino
ton of Turkey by Great Britain through
support Of Grecian territorial aspi-
rations.
Hatreds of centuries are being dis
played in their most hideous form. Re-
ligious and race prejudices and inter
national battles for commercial ad-
vantages in territory and for fuel oil
appear in the swirl of which Constan-
tinople is the center
In high official quarters here IL is
said that Great Britain and Greece
stand alone with regard to the Turkish
treaty The Italians here openly dis
avow the treaty, while the French
acquiesce in it grumblingly.
The indications are that Damad Ferid
Pasha. the Grand Vizier, who is de-
cidedly Anglophile, will organize a new
government which will sign the treaty
in order to check a further Greek ad-
vance into Asia Minor. But Mustapha
Renal Pasha and his regular troops
and bandit associates, who are vari-
ously estimated to aggregate from 2OO,-
900 to 100000, are still to be dealt
with.
The British and Greeks are preparing
to clear the Scutari Peninsula of ali

The slayers fled. Soldiers patrolled
the streets afterward and there was
some firing.
The crime is believed to have been
actuated by speech made by Smythe
at the barracks in Listowel, County
Kerry, June 10. Smythe told his con-
stables not to be afraid to shoot with
effect. He urged the police to CO.
operate with the military and advocated
the wiping out of the Sim Fem. Inter
