If Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood is nom
mated for the presidency he will not
cause the removal Of Will H. Hays as

ing with Gen. Wood, Frank Hitchcock, j.

interested, and reports received indicate
that the people of the country have seen

against Leonard Wood.

all of US that Mr.. Hitchcock has Joined

rience In political affairs and a nation
wide acquaintance will be of immeas-
urable value to our campaign. 1 want
to take this occasion to deny vigorously
rumors that have been put into circula-
ton to the effect that any one con-
nected with the Wood campaign will at
tempt to unseat VIII Fl. Hays as chair
man of the national committee after the
presidential candidate is chosen by the
party. Every staunch republican knows
that the party has made great progress
under the very able leadership of Mr..
Hays and Gen. Wood Will trust his in

nominated

Dental primary in New Hampshire. Gen.

Questions and Answers
Meat for the King-My baby IL 1e
months old and l have been told I
should give him lime water. How
much should l give? Should I give
him meat? MRS. J. X.
Answer-Lime water is not nee
essary unless for some particular
condition. Usually an ounce is CIV
en- with each bottle Of milk. A baby
should be given fresh meat broths
chicken, beef, mutton) beginning
at about the eighth month. BY the
time he has a few teeth he should
be given a little of the tender meat
itself, and these things should be
given regularly three or four days
/ q week.
Scrofula-Is there . enc for
scrofula? Is scrofula contagious!
What are its symptoms? A. T.
Answer-Scrofula was the name
given to tuberculosis Of lymph
nodes or Of skin or Of bone in old
times before the nature of the dis
ease was known. tuberculosis is
the most durable Of all serious
chronic diseases. There is no spe-
cific cure. The first essential in
the cureeis the regular care and gu
pervision Of a physician through
out. The chief cause Of failure is
the notion that Tom. Dick, Harry
or perhaps the patient himself-is
a good enough physician.
Soothing Syrup - Is soothing
syrup dangerous il given to child
who is extremely restless?
Answer-Yes.

II there was ever name without

Etmymology records frankly moth
inf in the case of Edna. She seems
to have just appeared. Something
about her is reminiscent OF Lenorse
and we can imagine Bakyriss or the
daughters of Vikings bearing such
a name, but history fails to back
I'D our fancy.
It must SEEM then that Edna
came m some way from the ever
popular masculine Edward. 1t may
indeed be a contraction Of the fem
mime form Edwina. Such being
the case, Edna ancestress must
have been the famous FraH Uote,
mother of Kriem, who interpreted
her dream and predicted the early
death of her bridegroom.

Edwin and from her came Auder

The Hiehbrow Baby.

A vassAr graduate who is an
expectant mother and enjoys ex-
cellent health expresses her views
on an ancient custom:
why, you're SO old-fashioned. A
woman has right to keep on with
her profession just as a man does.
Babies do just as we'll on the bot
tie and the mother isn't 80 tied
down. She can maintain at least
in some part her social life."
.vassar grads please will not sub
NIT statistics. We strive to tell the
plain truth, II it does not interfere
with our business interests. When
thestruth seems crude we may var
nish it up some, always mindful Of
our patrons good will. The above
reference to Vassar is merely Incl
dental, coincidental. We do not
think for a rDoment that the young
woman's ideas are representative.
A baby nursed at the breast has
twice as great chance to survive
the first year as baby artifically
fed. The question is, then. wheth-
er mother has a right to cut down
| her baby's chance to live by half.
II a mothers education is such
as to lead her to such a belief, what
is wrong with tAst I'D Of s1uca-
ton?
If mother has a moral right. to
refuse to nurse her baby, fon social
or financial or personal reasons,
has she not also the right to refuse
! to have a baby?
I / can see no difference, except in
degree; between refusing to give
baby life and refusing to give the
baby every fair chance to live.
Suppose young woman is Sc
highly educated tabove the neck
as to accept this second logical
step namely that marriage does not
entail the responsibility of moth
erhood. Is she not then justified
| in reasoning out for herself the
conclusion that marriage is a mere
ceremonial form. and that free love
is more suited to the modern status
Of w0manhood?
Certainly.

| Dear Mrs. Thompson: would

derstand him.
He was to come up to see me one
evening or in the afternoon. MY
sister who is Is years old went
downtown to get tickets for the eve
ming show for herself and some
| friends. She met him and talked
to him for. a while. Then she said
she was cold and would 60. He
then asked her to 60 to the show
with him.
/ have been sick for quite a
while, but not sick enough to be IN
bed. He knew it, because ! did not
! work. He came in the evening and
acted very queer. l asked him what
the matter was and he said it was
nothing. He had told my sister not
to tell.
We were all talking and she
thoughtlessly mentioned going to
the show with him. My friend did
not know what to say, and turned
Ell colors. l took it good natured,
ly, but it hurt me.
Do you think it was right fol
him to do this? I did not care be-
cause he took her to the show, but
to think he told her not to tell. He
has asked me to be his wife and
spoken to my father concerning the
matter. Would you treat him tbs
| same? BLUE EYES.
l agree with you, that it was all
right for the young man to take
your sister to the show, but wrong
for him to try to deceive you. He
probably thought you would be hurt
/ il you knew and he wanted to save
your feelings. This Of course was
the wrong attitude, because hi
should do nothing which would
make it necessary for him to de,
ceive. Tell him that there canno,
be love without trust and he mus
not do such a thing again. This
time try to forget the incident.
