Whooping cough is the mean
est" disease that childhood is
heir to: While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
so long-the coughing paroxysns
are so violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains. ~.+~"'
During this period of conva1-
essence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to say-"There is more
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease"
While the disease is active,
Vick's VapoRub usually helps to
lessen the violence of the cough

BAN ON ARTICLE
10 RESERVATION
Wilson Will Pocket Treaty if
Lodge Proposal is Added
SAYS ARTICLE 10 IS VITAL
Stand Delights IrreconciIabIes - Ad-
ministration Senators Expected
To Refuse To Yield
Further.

Washington.-Defn final notice
that he will pocket the peace treaty
if it comes before him with the Lodge
reservation attached was served on the
Senate by President Wilson.
In letter to Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock, minority leader, the Presi-
dent brands practically every reserva-
ton in the Lodge program as multi
fication of the covenant.
Either we should enter the League
fearlessly," his letter declares, accept
ing the responsibility Of not fearing the
role of leadership which we now enjoy,
contributing our efforts toward estab-
fishing just and permanent peace, or
we should retire as gracefully as pos
sible from the great concert of powers
by which the world was saved. For
my own part, am not willing to trust
to the counsel of diplomats the work
ing out of any salvation Of the world
from the things which it has suffered"
The effect of the Presidents letter,
written with all his old-time force and
hitting power, assures defeat Of the
treaty, according to the opinion gen.
orally expressed in Senate quarters.
Administration Senators, who for sew
eral days have been showing dispo-
sition to weaken, now for the most
part will stand firm against the Lodge
program, it is believed. Their votes,
added to those of the "irreconcilables,
will be sufficient to prevent the two
thirds majority necessary for ratiica-
ton.
The President shows clearly and I'M
mistakably that he stands precisely
where he stood when the matter Of
reservations was first proposed. The
maximum he would consent to would
be interpretations" reservations that
would simply state well-recognized
facts as to the constitutional limita-
tons which surround every treaty
negotiated by this Government, al
though even these he would regard as
works of supererogation.
So far as Article 10 is concerned, he
still looks upon it as the cornerstone
of the whole document of the League
of Nations.

LITTLE ARMY
MEN LOSE IN HOUSE
Approves PeaCetime Force of
316,820 Men
VOTE WAS THREE TO ONE
President Authorized To Prescribe
Tactical OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Corps For Air
Service.
VOTE WAS THREE TO ONE

Washington-Pleas Of little army
men to reduce military expenses were
rejected by the House, which approved
a peace-time establishment of 5000
enlisted men and 1880 officers, after
rejecting three proposals for a smaller
force.
The decision, although not final, was
reached by a three-to-one vote, leading
supporters of the Army Reorganiza-
ton bill to believe that it virtually set
tied the peace-time program.
In addition to authorizing regular
army 100000 stronger than provided
by the National Defense act of 1916,
the House also accepted lesson of
the World War by adopting the prin-
ciple of permitting the tactical organ
ization of the army to be prescribed
by the President instead of by law.
Likewise, it approved of making sep
arate corps of the air service, the
chemical warfare service and the f.
nance department, but refused to d.
vorce the transportation and the con-
struction services from the Quarter
master Department.
Representative Dent, Alabama, rank
ing Democratic member of the Military
Committee, opened the attack for a
smaller army. His amendment to fix
the maximum strength at $4,000 men
and 1920 officers was defeated, 70 to
rs, and soon after Representative
Jones, Democrat, Texas, sought to fix
the force at 205,000 men, but failed, IS
to %. Representative Harreld, Re-
publican, Oklahoma, renewed the at
tack, proposing to cut the army to
$50, 900 men. He was beaten without
record vote.
After making speedy getaway i'll
outlining the future military policy,
the House engaged in long debate
over details, indicating that the bill
would not be passed before the end of
the week.

cupboard shelves, their beds were al

children had excellent manners. They
were we'll washed, too. They looked
healthier and happier than his little
ones. Was the difference his fault?
Surely not--he and verbeek were in
the same positions-they did the
same things. But Madame Verbeek
did, not say "why bother.'' 1t was
true she worked all day long to keep
things going and make ends meet.
She did 1t because she had not lost
her pride and it was the work that
kept her from losing herself. Mathil-

He began to prepare for bed.
Though the lamp was burning low, he
could still see his wife as she lay
asleep. She had been pretty once. but
now somehow her face had changed,
the skin was sallow, the expression
different-that was 1.-THE expression.
She had not taken down her hair;
wisps of it made ragged fringe about
her forehead and neck. HairpinS

touseled little heads. Maybe If the
bedclothes had been clean, she would
have noticed how dirty the children's
faces were and washed them. But she
only pulled the soiled blanket up to
the small, grimy chins and left dirt,
the harmonizer of all things, undis-
turbed. Across the room was another
cot, it's coverings heaped in the midst
of it as they had been left in the
morning. She started toward it,
stopped halfway, then pushing some
newspapers from a chair, sat down
and duly regarded her husband. He
was writing at small table, the top
of which was clear save for a pile of
neatly written pages. The Pickering
light from the lamp on the cluttered
dinner table near him emphasized the
sharpness of his ascetic features and
.deepened the shadows under his eyes.

they went to call on Karel Verbeek.
1t was then that Andre realized.
Their hesitation after they had entered
his house, their stammering embar-
rassment and exchange of glances,
their indecision and their consultation
in the road after they had left-all
meant one thing. There had been no

ARMY CAMPAIGN FALLS DOWN.
Only Small Per Cent. OF Goal Set For
Recruits Secured.

Recruits Secured.
Washington.-The nationwide special
recruiting campaign for S4,0S2 recruits,
which started January 10, has fallen
down badly Up to February q, when
the latest complete reports were COM
pared, only 10,327 or 1928 per cent. of
the total number desired had enlisted
in the army.
The enlistments since February 81
have not shown any considerable in
crease and it is obvious that when the
special campaign ends March 81, the
army will have secured only fraction
of the number of men set as it's goal.
Up to February 81, New York City
had enlisted 722, or SO per cent. of its
quota of 1888. Newark, N. j., is at the
bottom of long list of cities made
public today, having accounted for 101,
or So per cent. of its quota of 1873.
Ell Paso, Texas, reported the largest
percentage Of recruits. The quota for
the Ell Paso recruiting district is 900,
