FIGHTING FOR HUMANITY.

In many directions is the Rockefeller Foundation being turned to the benefit of humanity and this must be particu- larly noted in connection with the way in which it is engaged in fighting dis ease. For long time hard fight has been waged against hook worm and ma laria in the western hemisphere. An ex- tensive survey has been made with the result that it is found that eight million people live within distinct malaria re- gions. which not only indicates the op- portunity that exists for service to these people but the fact that too little thought has been given to this situation in the past.
 The Foundation, it must be realized
 is therefore engaged in 8 most worthy undertaking when it at-sm5.s through it's funds to improve the ring conii- tions of these people, beer sanitation and unauestionably con- b..f. largely to reduction in the dea;l rate
 That it should get the encouragement and financial assistance of states and governments is only natural, and it is only in keeping with the efforts being made that it should be desired that once the conditions are made what they should be government agencies should assume the task of seeing that they are kept that way Cooperation in the carrying on of the excellent work and proper continuance once the detrimental condi- lions are eradicaled can reasonably be expected.
 Not only does the work of the Founda- tion mean much in the fight against dis ease but from. that very fact it should be 9 powerful factor in making those people waere nooKworm and malaria are rampant much more efficient and there fore of greater benefit to themselves as well as to the locality where they live Undertaking this great service to hu- manity for the sake of the relief that it will bring there cannot be too full rec ognition given to the use to which such portion of the vast fortune represented in the Foundation is being put. This is one way in which humanity needs much help and every bit of evidence that goes to show it is getting it is cause for grat- rlcation.

OLD LETTERS REVEAL LOST CHAPTER IN WORLD HISTORY

Lava preserved the secrets of Ro- man civilization in Pompeii; tombs protected the records of ancient Egypt's culture; and now there is pros pect that some long neglected letters may reveal one of the most fascinating chapters in the historic trail of the Jewish people, and incidentally show that Africa loomed larger in tthe Mid dle Ages than modern historians have realized.''
 With this introduction the National Geogra phic Society, in bulletin from it's Washington headquarters, makes the first announcement in this country of remarkable documentary discovery made by Charles de Ia Ronciere, 1ibrar- ian of the National library in France
 '.Hitherto Africa has figured not al all in mediaeval history It still was a dark continent when Stanley and Liv- ingstone penetrated it less than cen tury ago. Yet, it would seem Jews oi the fifteenth century had trading posts in northwest Africa, and carried on 8 vast commerce with the natives from the Sahara to the Atlantic, and from Algeria to the Niger.
 These native peoples. who finally resisted the inroads of Christian, Jew and Mohammedan, possessed sources of wealth in grain and gold. Some

HEARING GERMANY,s PLEAS.

Everything is moving along in 8 way which discloses the fact that the allied representatives at Spa are as a unit in keeping with the agreement reached al Brussels. Likewise the insistence that the proper German authorities be present during the discussions regarding disarm- to reach an agreement with any ire sponsible German delegates and have their efforts go for naught.
 France is perhaps more deeply inter ested in the question of disarmament than some of the others from the fac1 that it is nearer to Germany and i doesn't want to take any mora chance: with German. promises after ths rnannel in which it has suffered hut desires ;aa the provisions considered necessary fol the peace of the future b. carriei ou as ordered.
 From the standpoint aEs Germsny i: may with fairness be exp aina1 that j: j not declaring that it VIII not abide b. treaty provisions. It insists that it ha! not done so because of the inc gal cit uation and the fact that taece wN.ad k less danger from a gradual disarmaf1en
 
 terms. and it is in behalf of this idle; that it is now appealing to the allies. l the distrust fostered by past acts va not so strong there might be no grea opposition to the extension of the tim in which Germany should disarrn ana reduce it's army to 100000. If it is abl today to convince the allies that con ditions are such as to warrant addet time. there is no reason to believe tha the allies twill not be disposed to gran it but there is a determination that Ger many shall not pull the wool over thei eyes and that it shall not escape tn fullfiiment of its <reaty promises.

TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

By the action of the state department the restrictions which have for a long time existed against trade with soviet Russia are lifted and henceforth it will be possible for Americans to buy goods in Russia or to sell goods to Russia pro vided they are of a character which can not be immediately used for war pur. poses.
 q Just how much business this will re- suit in is problematical. It is reason able to suppose that Russia hasn't any great volume of goods for exportation while it will realize that it must be pre- rared to furnish the best security fo: anything 1t may purchase. but there il nevertheless lifted the bar to trade and tiEte will disclose just how muc1 ad- vantage can be taken of it.
 This action has been indicated for some time Other countries have been actirg with the idea of lifting thu, bic elk. ale on soviet Russia and it is plan that this country has no reason in view t,.Are- of, for standing in the way of gu n 5rs'- less activities
 It is to be realized that the lifting oi tas. trade restrictions does not nia.in a recognition of the soviet government. fl does not mean that this government will undertake to protect those who engage Ia such transactions as 1t permits and il doesn't mean that the right to travel in Russia or the privilege of Russians to travel in this country will be permitted

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. s. Public Health Service.
WEIGH YOUR BABY

The loss of pound or two of weight
 makes very little difference to the adult,
 but it is serious matter for a young baby. A pound or two loss means as
 much to the baby as ten or fifteen pounds
 does to the adult. for it is ten per cent
 or more of his total body weight
 If a baby fails to gain in weight for
 several weeks, or loses a pound or two, it
 becomes noticeable. But the average
 daily weight for the first year is so
 small that it cannot be detected without weighing.
 When baby fails to gain the required
 number of ounces for even one week, it
 means there is something wrong with
 him or the food. Whatever it is it
 should be rerSdied at once.
 To delay until baby has lost weight for several weeks. or until the loss of weight reaches a pound or two always lessens the babys chances of prompt recovery. It is much easier to keep young baby well and gaining steadily than it is to have him regain lost weight, or to get him well again once he has become ill. For these reasons a mother should weigh the young baby each week until he is nine months old and after that at least every two weeks until he is one yaer old. From infancy until he enters school the child should be weighed at least once a month. The average baby weighs little over seven pounds at birth. He doubles his weight at siv r7n7tils. weighing ordinar- fly fourteen pounds. He triples it at one year weighing about t@enty-one pounds. It is because of his rapid growth that a baby may weigh more or less an dstill be and spend most of his time sleeping. The following table of weights and measures represents the average baby A baby ma yweigh more or less and still be entirely normal. i The regular increase in weight is of 1 more importance than conforming to a table.
 A normal baby should weigh at end of week-7 pounds. ? weeks-7 pounds S ounces 3 weeks-7 pounds fl ounces. ! 4 weeks-S pounds, s ounces.
 , weeks-S pounds to s pounds, fl ounces. z weeks-e pounds to : pounds 6 ounces. ' weeks-s pounds, ounces to pounds 14 ounces.

ciusion that the continuance of the trade blockade was simply proving detrimental to itself. It bothered Russia but it bothered Europe quite as much at a time when there was need for the resumption of the trade. With such view on the part of Europe and the resumption of trade it becomes evident that it is useless for this country to stand but alone and undertake to enforce something which others have abandoned. and from which no benefit is being gained
 Soviet Russia will welcome the action It would welcome recognition more, ever though it was forced to make further changes to get it. The resumption oi trade relations however is far different than recognition.
