All Love "oId Homeste adj"

One trouble with the American peo-
pie, declares an eastern journal, Is
that they have not enough cherished
old homesteads. We have been mi
grant people. We transplant ourselves
by habit. We are Munchausens con
stantly engaged in pulling the family
tree up by the roots. Home is to
most of us more like tent than like
a house. But through all our nomad-
ism we yearn for the ''old homestead"
Let all who can hold fast to 1t, or re
cover 1t II 1t Is lost. Its sentiment.
its inspiration, are priceless.

Fewer Trucks in Italy.

Railway transportation in Italy was
so bad after the armistice that the use
of motortrucks increased rapidly. A
large number were sold from italian
war stocks to private firms, and the
manufacture of new vehicles practi-
cally stopped.
The railway situation has recently
so improved that the use of motor
trucks is being discontinued, as the
result of the high cost of gasoline and
the fact that railway transportation is
cheaper. 1t Is estimated by a large
tire manufacturer that the number of
passenger cars in use at the present
time totals about 10000. while the
number of trucks is less than $4,000.

"HELP SAVE THE
BABIES"-
OF HEALTH CHIEFS
Radio Joins Campaign.

Charleston, w. Va, June 25.-Be-
cause six times as many babies die
during July, August and September as
die during the other months Of the
year, not because of the heat but from
improper food and lack Of care, all
forces are uniting to save the little
81es who are sacrificed unnecessary
"a, In New York the radio has
Joined in the campaign by dispatch
ing health talks by prominent physi-
clans. State Health Commissioner
Henshaw considers last weeks talk
worthy Of repetition In West Virginia
which loses an average Of 954 babies
under l year Of age every month.
The risk to bottle fed babies from
summer complaint Is eleven times
greater than those fed by the mother.
The nursing mother should pay spe-
cial attention to her own health. Her
diet should contain fruit and green
vegetables each day and she should
have at least quart of milk and a
quart Of water daily. Nine hours
sleep with additional rest during the
day are essential. Getting tired, ex-
cited or worried Immediately lessons
the mothers milk supply.
Both breast and bottle fed babies
should be fed regularly by the clock
on either a three or four hour sche-
dule, according to the Doctors instruc-
lions, but the feeding MUST be regular
in order to establish regularity of
body habits.
Avoid weaving the baby during hot
weather. II weaving time naturally
comes at this time, it Is better to
give mothers milk over little longer
period even though additional foods
are gradually added.
The baby should have plenty OF cool
(not cold) BOILED water. More Is
needed in summer than In winter.
If the baby is bottle fed, cows milk
Is next best to mether's milk. Only
the best grade Of milk should be
used, and it must be from cows that
are sure to be free from tuberculosis,
as one-third Of tuberculosis in chill
dren is due to drinking milk from
tuberculous cows. The milk must be

thing the milk touches, that Is, bottles,

1t Is best to scald the milk for chill
dren during hot weather Scalded
milk will In no way harm the baby.
although when scalded milk Is used,
the baby should be given small
amount of strained orange or tomato
juice, fresh or canned, every day.
Cows milk should be modified ac-
cording to the doctors instructions.
If there is milk left in the bottle, 1t
should NEVER be warmed over and
given to the baby.
1t Is important that flies be kept
away from the baby by means Of net,
because they carry disease germs on
their feet from filth direct to the baby.
The baby should also have a bath
every day, and not too many clothes
in hot weather A cotton shirt and
diaper are all he needs.

Department Of Health, Charleston, will

The Dangers of Crop Regulation
The impracticability of general
efforts to regulate the crops by any
system of overhead control has been
illustrated by several recent in
stances. A strong effort was made
in the winter OF 1922. in the interests
of the beet sugar producers OF this
country, TO induce the cane produc-
ers of Cuba to limit their output Of
sugar to 100000 tons. 1t was urged
that unless this was done the beet
sugar industry would be ruined by
the low price, and for its protection
the customs duty was raised 10 ~
cents per pound. less the reciprocity
concession of 20 per cent There
is no doubt that the beet sugar
people were sincerely alarmed They
could not hope to compete with
Cuban sugar at z cents per pound,
the price at which Il was then sell

increase OF consumption, the drought

R. R. OPERATING EXPENSES $3.50

Eeighty-five per cent of all rail
road earnings are spent for operat-
ing expenses and taxes, hence it is
evident that any reduction in rates
such as the radical element hopes to
accomplish would affect only that
portion of the earnings that go to
pay interest and dividends or that
is spent for Improvements. The valu-
alton tentatively placed on all rail-
road properties by the Interstate
Commerce Commission is $19,400,-
100000. Should that figure eventu-
ally be reduced $1,000, 100000, it
would mean reduction of only /
per cent in passenger rates. If the
efforts of the radicals should bring
it down as much as $4,000, 100000 the
rates would be cut only about A per
cent.
While the effect on rates of such
reduc ton in valuation would be
negligible, although that is the pro-
fessed object of the radical agitators,
the effect on the power of the roads
to maintain their properties and make
additions to keep pace with the de-
velopment of the country would be
disastrous. Operating expenses and
taxes would remain the same, and
no part of the reduced income could
be applied to those accounts. The
entire loss would fall on about one
seventh of the total earnings that
now goes for interest, dividends, and
Improvements.
1t has been estimated that the
roads should make a new investment
every year of between S750,000,0 900
and $1,000,000, 900 to keep pace with
the growing demands for transpor-
tation. That capital could never be
raised if it became known that the
abilities of the roads to pay interest
their indebtedness was seriously i'm
paired, and that the condition of the
loans could not be maintained for
lack of funds. The element that is
seeking to secure lower railroad
rates through lower valuation of
the properties is bidding for the poll
teal support of shippers and travel
ers, but the truth is that the worst
enemies of those who buy transporta-
ton are the low rate agitators. If
their theories were put into effect,
it would be but a few years before
our transportation system would be
wrecked, and those who depend up
ON it would follow it to ruin.

Lioht Without Heat.

One of the things which inventors
would like much to accomplish is the
production of light without heat. Ma
ture proves by the example of the
FREELY and the glowworm that the
thing can be done. Experiments made
abroad have shown what had long
been believed without direct measure
ment of the temperature that the light
radiated from a Geissler tube, when
an electric current passes through it.,
is accompanied by very little heat.
This accords with the view that we
must look to electricity for solu-
