HELP THIS BILL.

~ IFTY- SIX thousand babies born each year in
Minnesota and fifty-six thousand mothers
will be saved much needless sickness and
DEATH" states Dr. C. L. Scofield, president of the
Minnesota Public Health Association, eff the state
legislature takes advantage of the Sheppard
Towner bill for the protection of maternity and
infancy. Senator Carley has introduced bill in
to the legislature to give Minnesota mothers and
babies the opportunities of health offered in the
Sheppard Towner bill. Under the provisions of
the Sheppard-Towner bill, instruction in the n.y.
giene Of maternity and infancy and where neces-
sary medical and nursing in homes at
hospital will be available to every Minnesota
mother. The federal government is supporting the
work to the extent Of giving $4,000 annually to
each state making provisions for carrying out
the bill, and in addition to that an amount equal
to the sum appropriated by the state. The appro-
priation proposed in Minnesota is $40, 663.18 The
passage of the bill will mean that Minnesota will
have $61, 326.36 to spend during the next two
years for saving the lives and health of mothers
and babies.
"How much this work is need is we'll illustrated
in the number Of mothers and infants who die ev-
cry year from causes which will be controlled by
the enactment Of the BILL In year, 1919, 1882
principally, because their mothers did not know
how to care for health before and after the baby S
birth. That year, 259 mothers gave up
their lives, because, in most cases, they had not
had the proper before and at childbirth. These
mothers died at the time Of their lives when they
were most needed These 25g mothers and the g.
3s2 babies should have been saved.
1.-THE United States loses in one year more ba-
bies under one year Of age than the entire number
of American soldiers killed during the war. More
women die of causes connected with childbirth
than of any other disease except tuberculosis. 1t
has been successfully demonstrated that this vast
age of life and health be prevented by in
struction, proper facilities for care, and available
medical advice. Minnesota will be given all these
if the proposed bill is passed and the provisions
of the Sheppard Towner act become applicable.
DR.. Scofield urges all those who wish to see this
saving accomplished to notify their legislators
of their opinion on the bill.

According to the letter on trade conditions
which the Capitol National Bank of Saint Paul
issues monthly, some strange things well as
some sad ones are happening in the commercial
world. The report for January shows that Sears
and Roebuck took loss Of forty-seven per cent
from their returns of January, 1920 The United
Cigar Stores Company enjoyed increase of ten
per cent over the business of the same month last
year. The Woolworth Company, in it's chain of
ive-and-teners' took decrease of three per
cent In 1921 the months sale of War and Saw
ings stamps amounted to $2,646,397 while in the
same period in 1921 they amounted to $685., 463.
Labor, too, is having its troubles. The Brick
layers Union of Hannibal, Mo-, has announced
a voluntary reduction from $1.25 to $100 per
hour. The hat fnishers of Orange have gone
back, without protest, to rate of $500 per day
instead of $1,000. Seventy thousand persons
working on half time in the factories Of Detroit
and the same city places the estimate Of it's
employed at 100000. The number of men
ployed in these factories is only % per cent
of the number employed year ago and it is esti-
mated that more than fifty thousand have left
Detroit in the past year, to swell the lists OF the
unemployed in other parts of the country. These
are only very few of the facts and figures given
but it is enough to indicate that more than just
the farmers are taking the medicine" OF read
justment.

And now Colonel Harvey who so loves to tear
down, and make over and set right and otherwise
mess things all up, has taken it upon himself to
point out several weak spots in John Drinkwater's
play abraham Lincoln" Trivial things, all
of them, to which this critical Colonel takes ex-
ception-and his criticism does little else than to
irritate those of us who have enjoyed the Drink
water play even while we realize that its author
has taken some liberties-as all playwrights have
license to do. It was left for an Englishman
to put in lasting drama this greatest OF all
Americans seems but poor return for that
which he has done for us for the American peo-
pie to countenance by consenting silence, the pir
thrusts Of the insidious Colonel from whom moth
ing is sacred and to whom courtesy and appre-
citation are meaningless words.

does larger volume Of business it is equally clear
that advertising itself should not be charged as
an expense Nothing is debit which in the long
run results in profit. Nothing is debit which
increases the volume of business while the over

A FRIEND.

A friend is one who's lived awhile
And learned world of stuff;
Who smiles a kind Of patient smile
Though things be smooth or rough.
A friend is one who's tried you out;
Who's heard your every plan;
Knows all your weakness and your doubts,
And says, 81 like that man."
A friend is one who stands lot;
Yet tells you you're sinner;
And after that, as like as not,
Invites you out to dinner.
A friend is one who knows your faults
Yet doesn't hide his own;
Who'd rather walk with one who halts
Than plod along alone.

He lost interest after a few
blocks, however, for the young wom-
an in the chinchilla furs seemed to
know very cshnitely where she was
going, and was not wasting any
time about going there.
The early winter twilight was
closing in when Nancy returned to
the hotel and hailed a taxi to take
her back to the Langwells.
EuItn was CuI ".t>-I .s.Iu arrived,
but the maid brought her tea.
VIII you have it in the drawing
room?" she asked.
Nancy shuddered involuntarily,
remembering the uncompromislng
stiffness of that apartment.
isn't there a less formal room?
I'm afraid I Should feel rather
desolate all alone there"
There is Mrs. Langwell's sitting
room" suggested the girl.
That will do nicely" agreed
Nancy, and followed the girl down
the corridor past the closed door of
the doctors study.
The lights flashed up in a room
done in the coolest shades of gray
Nancy had ever encountered. Con-
trasted with the tints of the dra
peries, floor coverings and enameled
furniture, the gray gown Nancy
had worn that morning would have
been as vivid as a crimson cash.
Not a hint of color relieved the per-
feet monotone It was a room eX-
pressive of the new Edith.
mo one ever comes here but Mrs.
LangwelTs most intimate friends"
volunteered the girl as she turned
on the light under the gaslogs.
Then I have the right, for 1 am
an old schoOlmate," smiled Nancy.
Shall pour the tea. madame"
mo, thank you; I'll wait a bit.
Mrs Langwell may comsin."
When the girl had gone, Nancy
looked curiously around the room.
1t was as orderly and unruffled in
it's details as Edith's own coiffure.
What a contrast to the doctors
study farther down the hall. She
wondered if the maid had meant
that he never visited this room.
She thought she could understand
why.
The only alien touch to the gray
perfection was an exQuisitely
carved little cabinet of teakwood
and mother-of-pearl, occupying in
solitary state the mantel space
above the fireplace.
Nancy touched it curiously. Her
fingers must have pressed a hidden
spring, for it flared up with a sud
denness that made her start, reveal
ing a little shrine fashioned by deft
Oriental fingers to house the image
of a god.
A photograph of Frederick Lang
well looked at her from its mother
Of-pearl depths.
