The Nursing Bottle and National

The Nursing Bottle and National
Decay.
Is the nursing bottle a sign of ma
tional decay?
This question is answered by DR.
John M. Foote in an article in the
current issue of the well-known
magazine, Mother and Child"
We all know how the use of the
rursing bottle has increased in our
cities since the time when We mid
ole-aged men were boys. Now DR..
foote asserts that it is borne out by
history that whenever a nation be-
Genes the seat of a rich and degen-
crate autocracy, not only infantcide
increases but maternal nursing is
replaced by artificial foods and wet
nurses.
Ct Tracing back into the mists of an
,lquity, DR.. Foote finds nursing bot
ties in the museum of Cairo that
came out of the tombs of the degen-
trate Pharaohs. There were wet
nurses in the days of the dying
Greek civilization. and here and
there in various museums devoted to
expired empires are found nursing
bottles of wood, nursing bottles of
metal with sponge attachments, etc.
DR.. Foote thinks the nursing bot
ties might be made the banner mark
OF national decay, because from its
earliest appearance it went hand in
hand with luxury and ease-the lug
try and ease of high-born ladies
who refused to be burdened with the
feeding of their offsprings.

BACK DOOR ETIQUETTE.

MAY BE TRUE-BUT DON'T.

Not everything true is worth tel
ing.
Scandal, tho it may be true, isn't
worth telling.
Mistakes of men and women who
have lived down or are attempting to
live down earlier errors are not
worth reviving. ~ a.
The sins of fathers and the mis-
takes of mothers are not Justly to be
visited on the heads of children AID
grandchildren despite the statement
of the scriptures Outside of the ply
steal effect of physical sins the scrip
tural statement may be taken as a
recognition of the fact that envy,
Jealousy and small-mindedness exist
led then and will continue TO exist.
Some things entirely true are not
worth telling. Some things entirely
true should not be retold. The files
OF every newspaper prove that very
conclusively. Those files are grave
yards of good repute as they are
milestones of good character s
Some tongues run to scandal from
lack of other bases for conversation.
Their owners are unfortunate. There
are so many splendid things to recog-
,nize and speak of, so much that is
true and worth telling that tenden-
.cy TO scandal is al evidence of ignor-
ance and a small. mind.
Not everything true is worth tell
ing. On the contrary, much that is en-
tirely capable of complete verification
is best left untold and unnoted. Those
who trace the branches of family
trees are likely to find some ancestor
lynched to a limb. The DR.. Johnson
of fame expressed it fairly when, hay-
ing asked widow to marry him and
being told that she had suffered the
loss of an uncle by hanging, replied
that it did not matter overmuch as
he had several who should have been
hanged
Nothing truer was ever written
than that the good prevails with time
1t is true that only that which de-
serves to live does live. Mistakes bury
themselves. The sod of forgetful.
ness grows over them. They are hid
den and forgotten except when some
scandalmonger digs them out, hyena
like, or workmen sinking founda-
tons for progress unearth them by
accident.
A great deal that is true is best not
told. 1t is so in conversation. in
newspapers. in literature. Say some
thing good or don't say it unless the
public welfare demands its saying

hint of what was coming so he made
mis- escape.
The next day Sheriff Ferrie re,
.ceived word from near Granger that
a young man had an automobile
stuck in the mud near town and
there was a suspicion that he had
stolen the car. The young man dis
appeared before the sheriff arrived
leaving the car stalled in the road

The sheriff then set to trace the
thief. A winding trail led toward
Cresco and Saturday morning it was
reported that the paroled convict
had been seen in the woods on
the south edge of town. A search
was made but up to the present
time he is still at large.
The sheriff believes that Sweet
man is the fellow who took the car
but of course there is no direct
proof of that.
Mr.. Fifield is lucky to have his car
back and the community is lucky to
be rid of an undesirable citizen, al

DISTRIBUTING THE EsnGRANTs.
They are Coming Into This Country
mt Biggest Rate Ever Known.

Immigrants are now coming into
this country at the biggest rate ever
known. 1t is predicted that there
may be l 100000 new arrivals dur
ing the coming year. Now the ques-
ton rises whether these people will
all settle down in erea. cities. and
create slum conditions as a result
of their ignorance of language and
customs.
There ought to be a systematic
plan for distributing these people
where they will do the most good,
and accomplish the most for them
selves. If they are left to themselves
they will be bled by sharpers who
will extract high fees for finding
them jobs. All these newcomers
should be asked if they have employ
ment arranged for. If they have not,
they should be sent to the regular
employment agencies, where every
one of them can be directed into the
trade and locally where he can ac-
complish the most
The prices of many staples are ex-
brilliantly high, and the common ex-
cuse given is scarcity of labor and
impossibility of getting production
With 1,5OO. 900 new workers coming
in, it ought not to be possible to
make this excuse very long.
But unless this matter is sharply
looked out for, lot of these people
Will become non-producers. They
will become fruit peddlers and sellers
of candy and chewing gum and to-
bacco, and will go into hundreds of
trades and occupations that are al
ready filled and where they render
no real service.
There is great need for these work
ers in the mines and forests and on
the farms. If the American people
continue to pay high prices for their
products with all this labor coming
in to relieve scarcities, they are
some chumps.

LEWISTON ORCHARD
SALE ATTRACTS many
DEEP INTEREST BEING TAKEN
IN COMING SALE OF FINE
ORCHARD TRACTS.

Much interest is being shown. thru
out the Lewiston country in the Bond
holders Sacrifice Sale CT Lewiston
Orchards, which takes place October
8, 1920. Applications are pouring in
from all parts of the country and
from present indications the SO
tracts being offered will not be suf-
ficient to supply the demand.
A feature hat is attracting much
interest is the method of sale. No
land will be sold before October 9. At
this time the applications that have
been made will be placed in a hat and
a line formed of purchasers in the
order in which their applications are
drawn from the hat. The purchasers
in making applications indicate their
several choices of tracts and in case
tracts they selected have already
been sold their money is refunded.
The exceptionally low prices of
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre are responsible
for the large number of people in
terested. The price of $3.50 per acre
for full-bearing orchards is less than
one-third the price the same kind of
land is bringing in the other irrigated
districts in the Northwest. Some of
the tracts in the district report an
nual crops larger than the price being
asked at this sale.
Most of the applications to date
have been residents of the outlying
districts, and from present appear
ances a majority of the purchasers
will be farmers who are looking for
a small tract neal the City, where
they can enjoy Lewiston's line system
of schools, and other city advantages.
The tracts offered vary from 5 to
80 acres in size and consist of land
in orchard, alfalfa, corr and small
produce.
People realize that these are the
last orchard lands that can be de-
veloped in the Lewiston Valley and
