The Commercial Printing Good Enough.
The War Incubus.

1t has recently been computed tina
the money loss, due directly and in
directly to the war, and making nj
allowance whatever for the loss Of
human life, is $350,0O0, 900, 900
| Like the number of miles to some dis
| tant star, the amount is so stagger-
| ing as to cause a sort of mental in
sensibility; because even great finan-
| ciers, accustomed to thinking in
this vast amount.
1t is good for us to reflect on the
price we are paying for Germany
war. But for that war the three
hundred and fifty thousand millions
would have been spent for churches,
houses, roads, schools, presents for
little children, savings against old
age, comfortable clothes for the old,
and pretty dresses for the young.
Millions of comforts the world would
have had during the se-en years past.
But it is all gone, and billions of it
yet unpaid, which will tax the world
for at least two generations.
Ten years ago we spent less than
$3.50, 100000 on our army and navy
This year we are spending close to
$1,375,0OO,00O, and have just
emerged from war on which we
spent $4,000 200, 900, and have now
on hand, left over, much of it I'M
used and still in original packing
cases, millions upon millions of sup
plies, ready to use and already paid
for. In spite of this, we are spending
nearly billion and a half on the
War Department.; nearly 55 per cent
more for this department alone than
all the expenses of government COM
bined, 10 years ago. The people of
the whole world are crushed under
the burden of taxation, the most of
which is for or because of war. 1t
will startle most people to learn that
of all the taxes we are now paying,
out of each dollar 81 cents are spent
for war With the world war-sick;
with no one in position to really
jeopardize us; with other nations
nearly or practically bankrupt, our
liability to dangerous attack was
probably never less than now, or for
a good many years to come. With
most of the world anxious to reduce
the burden of armament, let us hope
that the effort of President Harding
to secure even sort of gentlemen's
agreement, which would be a first
and long step, will receive the out
spoken support of every citizen.
When public sentiment really insists
upon disarmament it will come-H.

| The war which for us technically
ended three years ago is at last, by
act of Congress, a legal fact. This
| removes many barriers, some official
| and others physiological. The prom
! Use of bountiful crops throughout the
land is almost fulfilled. We have
managed to reduce our debts to one
another nearly billion dollars with
in the past IL months. Wage dis
putes are being adjusted in many
sections, and building-that great
stimulant to SO many other industries
is gradually being resumed after
five years of inactivity. The number
of idle freight cars, which a few
months ago totaled 500, 900, the larg-
est in our history, is steadily growing
less. The railroads, while by no
means recovering from the blighting
paralysis of government control, are
commencing to sec light ahead, and
orders for material and supplies are
beginning to appear in small way.
The shelves and counters of the mer-
chants are but scantily stocked.
These will have to be replenished be-
fore long, which means resumption OF
production of raw materials and re-
sumed activity in mills and factories.
These will not ALI start at once ON
full time, but they will start.
The task of reorganization and re-
adjustment is colossal. Very few real
ize how badly shattered business has
been. 1t still suffers from shell shock.
although 1t was several thousand
miles removed from exploding shells.
The stock-market quotations tell the
story of billions of lcssened values,
and dividends passed. Yet we are
not in panic and our banks are not
closing their doors. The new admin
istration has promised to economize
and give business chance. That
business incubus, the excess-profits
tax is soon to be repealed. We are
at peace with all the world and ex-
pect to remain so.
Losses incident to the drop from
war prices to peace values are being
rapidly adjusted. Every day brings

FORM YOUR BABY'S
HABITS EARLY

Every mother may save hersell
much care, trouble and worry if she
understands how to teach her baby
good habits, and she can surely d.
this if she begins it soon enough
Many doctors think the first weeks
of baby's life not too soon to begin
to train" and it would seem that
this were true from the experience
of many mothers.
We have already said something
about the regularity of feeding the
baby; by keeping strictly to such
habits, the baby becomes a human
alarm clock which strikes out loud
at feeding time. The same condi-
tions prevail in sleep, bathing, and
other incidents in the baby's life,
such as it's outings, it's waking times,
and the like.
OF course, every baby has a right
to be comfortable at all times; this
means that it should be cody dressed
in summer; that it should never be
obliged to wear a tight binder or an
uncomfortable napkin. The new way
of putting on the napkin, or diaper,
pinned on each side rather than the
old way with the point pulled over
the stomach and often tight enough
to give the baby actual pain, should
be used
In summer light shirt and the
diaper are all baby needs, but in
winter it's body should be warmly
but lightly clothed, and it's feet, par
ticularly, should be warm. Once these
are assured, then tho baby may even
be left to cry while in it's bed or
baby buggy, without fear of it's
hurting itself" 1t will soon form
the habit of being still, and this is
much better for it than to be Rugged
loving the arms are, or to be
bounced UP and down, or violently
rocked back and forth
The baby's daily bath is a neces-
sity; it's skin is very tender and soft,
and must be kept perfectly clean, for
babies breathe through their skins a
lot. In hot weather, niorning bath
and one at night, too, are not too
much. If handful of table salt is
added to the night bath in summer,
it will help baby to relax and sleep |
WELL
Don't try to make baby sit up or |
walk or notice things too soon; Ma |
ture is wiser mother than any we |
know and all this will be carefully |
directed by her. In time all will |
come right as it should.
Never let any one, not even your
self, kiss the baby in the mouth; dis
ease is carried that way and your
baby cannot protect itself
SEE A DOCTOR If even you sus-
pect anything is wrong with the ba-
by; never consult you neighbor for
her remedies and DON'T experiment
On your baby.
Remember your baby depends up
IN you for protection and for life it
self, just as much AFTER it comes
nto the world as it did for those
months before it's birth.--Contribute
