intend to wean him at 9 months
Would it be all right to give him
whole milk right of the reel or
should l dilute it and gradually
give it to him? He is taking yege.

gested and doing fine, so l want 10
be sure about it. tMrs. T. md
Answer-It would probably be
we'll to dilute the whole milk with
water or cereal cruel BARLEY or
oatmeal grueD, using about three
parts milk and one part water,
Then use less diluent each two
weeks till he takes it right of the

Cure American Style.
Last week l noticed an ad of the
f.. Sanitorium which claims
to be the Pioneer American Cure
for Heart Disorder" and the
American Nauheim." Will you
please tell me whether the insutu-
ton bears a good reputation among
medical men? tRetired)
Answere-There is none with a
better reputation. But the man
ager is taking advantage of a Ger
tain literary license in using the
word cue" In Europe cure"
means merely a treatment or a
place where treatment is given; in
America it means the restoration OF
health. In the American sense,
then, the phrase is certainly ques-
tionable. But the institution is
absolutely among the best in every
respect.
Bedtime Lunch Is HealthfuL
Please tell me whether a cup OF
warm milk and cracker or a
cookie is harmful to take before re-
firing. E. H. d.
Answer-No. A lunch Just be-
fore going to bed is healthful from
every point of view. provided you
are not already overfed.

Lena.
Lena or Lima, as it is frequently
spelled is one of the most curious
~ conflicting of feminine names.
Etymologists find it derived from
the same source as Helen and also
discovered it through the evolution
of Charlotte. Who shall say which
is correct?
1t is not difficult to understand
how Lena or Lima came to be a
contraction of Helena, but prefer
ence is generally given to the the
DRY that Lima is the correct form
and that its real source is identical
with the great Karl of the Franks,
who was the forefather of the fem
mine Charlotte.
Charlotte of Savoy, who married
Louis XI, introduced her name to
French royalty, whence it raveled
quickly to Germany. There it
changed form, becoming first Lett
chen, then Caroline, and finally
Lima. Meanwhile Charlotte DIAL
bret of France, was given in mar

stand fast-to roll up the usual ma
jorities no matter who may be carry
ing the standard, OF what the platform
contains.
How loyal the south has been to the
party label is shown By the list Of the
presidential candidates for whom she
has voted. She cared little for Sey-
mour. She had detested Greeley for
years, politically and personally. She
rather distrusted Tilden. She ad-
mired Hancock as a brave man. She
knew nothing about Cleveland. She
warmed to Bryan because Of his won
derful oratory. She grows orators her

and at Baltimore felt only $3.50 toward
Wilson, although he was southern BY
birth. But ON election day she plump

Turkey.

Failure to effect the expulsion Of
Turkey from Europe altogether would
undoubtedly be regarded by most peo-
pie who are not Of the Moslem faith
as deplorable. This thought is ex-
pressed now by President Wilson in
his note to the allied powers, in which,
after balancing the advantages and
disadvantages, he pointedly cites the
often-expressed intention Of the al
lies that the anomaly Of the Turks in
Europe should cease"

ment to discuss it in the final stage
of consideration or to test the senti.
ment Of the House. Separate votes
had not been reserved for either the
repeal Of the halfs4nd half measure
or the increase Of taxation, which had
been adopted in committee Of the
whole.
Thus the bill passes to the Senate,
where, as usual, the District hopes
for more careful consideration ana
for equitable treatment. The Mapes
bill abrogating the half and. half is al.
ready there awaiting consideration BY
the District committee. The appto.
priation bill, going one. step further
than the Mapes bill through the tax
increase, goes before the appropria-
tions committee. Perhaps the whole
matter will be thrashed out in the ap-
preparations committee, which should
give full hearing to the District tax
payers, especially on the tax increase
proposal, and which in considering the
Mapes bill as rider on the appro-
pfiations bill should thoughtfully con-
slider the Jones amendment to the
Mapes bill, now pending in District
committee.

Mississippi and Suffrage.

While Delaware hesitates over the
woman suffrage amendment, Missis-
sippi, once recorded adversely, sud-
denly reverses position and votes, in
the state senate, for ratification. It is
q surprising move on the chess board.
Nobody looked to the south for the
final ratifying vote. All the adverse
votes on the amendment have come
thus far from south Of the Mason and
Dixon line. Mississippi had, as stated,
once rejected the proposition.
The element OF national politics en-.
ters into the case. Delaware is a re-
publican state. Mississippi is demo-
cratic state. II the thirty sixth vote
is cast by a democratic state while a
republican state wavers, with tend
ency toward rejection, will not the
credit for final approval belong to
the democratic partyi This is at least
the reasoning that prevails at Jackson.
If the republicans at Dover, spurred
BY the Mississippi action, move for
ratification to give Delaware and their
party the credit for the final vote, they
must act speedily, for Mississippi is q
lap ahead in the race, the senate hav-
ing acted, while in Delaware neither
branch Of the legislature has voted. A
contest between these two states for
the honor Of scoring the thirty-sixth
approval would add to the dramatic
elements in q situation that has had
few equals in American history.

The South and the Presidency.

HoHe Smith has decided to stand in
the Georgia primary for the San Fran
cisco nomination. His state should,
and probably will, instruct for him.
He is her most distinguished living
son. Not yet an old man, he became
a national figure in politics a quarter
ceutsssy ago as member of Mr.. Cleve-
lands Second cabinet. Since then he
has served Georgia as governor, and
is now serving her as senator. In these
several high places he has had to do
witt. large and important affairs. and
so is reckoned as of presidential size.
He is as prominent figure in public
lifSRs the south contains.
If NT. Smiths name is presented at
the convention, with Georgia's infiu-
enee Behind his candidacy, will other
southern states give him supportf No
other southern man is today under dis

wood has a fight on his hands for re-
election to the Senate. Champ CLARK
is not asking for instructions from any
state, not even his own. Mr.. Smith
then, as matters now appear, will be
the only southern man in the field
when the balloting begins.
For quite half century the south
has been the stronghold of the demo
cratic party. She has furnished tht
bulk of the electoral votes for every
pne of the democratic presidential
tickets in that time. She elected
Grover Cleveland President twice, ant
Woodrow Wilson twice. She is th'

Hoover's Announcement.

Herbert Hoover's declaration as re
publican and as receptive candidate
clears the political air and resolves
certain questions of doubt. 1t is time
ly utterance 1t puts the country on
notice sufficiently in advance of the
Chicago convention as to Mr.. Hoovef'f
receptivity and his definition of him
self as a republican to enable his
friends to work for his nomination.
This announcement further divides
the progressive strength of the re-
publican party, which is now being con-
tested for by Wood, johnson and Poin-
dexter. Mr.. Hoover. Californian
challenges Senator Johnson's status as
a "favorite son." He challenges him
furthermore on the score of his prin-
cipal issue, the league of nations. The
California contest promises to be par
ticularly lively. Senator johnson has
an organization and Mr.. Hoover a SEN
timent behind him. How far that SEN
timent, which is unmistakable in the
country at large, will prevail in Cali
fornia as against the well organized
johnson campaign remains to be seen.
In his letter Mr.. Hoover mentions
pther matters than the league of ma
IONS, safeguarded by reservations to
preserve American traditions and in
terests, as issues in which he is con-
cerned. In the list of the domestic
problems which demand attention he
cites the size of our armament, feduc-
tion in taxation, and the prevention of
agricultural depressions and conse-
quent unemployment The solution
Of these, he says, is dependent upon
stability abroad and upon our access
to the worlds markets. These, he
urges, are endangered by diserimina-
tions against us, through our inabil-
ity, to exercise our veto under the
treaty.
Mr.. Hoover's alignment of himself
with the republican party is but a re-
turn to- his original political fealty
from which he appears to have depart
ed somewhat during the war. He did
not become identified with the de-
mocracy, but his failure to declare
himself earlier in the campaign, when
his name was first mentioned for the
presidency, undoubtedly put him under
a handicap as a potential republican
nominee. Now that he has proclaimed
his afiliation with the independent
element" of the republican party and
pledges his entire support to it if it
adopts forward looking, liberal, con-
structive platform on the treaty and
on our economic issues," and if the
party proposes measures for the
sound business administration of the
country and is neither reactionary nor
radical in its approach to our great
domestic questions" he must be rated
as definitely a republican as Gen.
Wood, or as Gov. Lowden, or as Sena-
tor johnson, or as Senator Harding, or
as any. one of the now competing can
didates for the Chicago nomination.
