VETERAN VICTIM OF
HERRIN MASSACRE

The reord of soldier, veteran
Of the Somme, St. Mihiel, Mouse and
Argonne, who came back from the
war only to fill an unmarked grave,
was offered in evidence by the pro-,
secution in the Herrin riots trial to-
day and then withdrawn after a
lengthy legal battle.
Offered in an effort to establish the
absolute identity of Antonio Mulka-
vich, in connection with whose slay-
ing Hugh Willis, state executive
board member of the United Mine
Workers of America, and five others
are now on trial. The record was con-
tanned in stained honorable dis
charge from the army found ON the
body Of one of the twenty-five VIC
TINS of the tragedy.
The defense objected to the exhibit,
which showed that Mulkavich was a
member of the 305th Signal Corps,
Both Division, on the ground that it
had not been proved that it was tax
en- off the body.
Court adjourned until Monday, the
state indicating that it would rest its
case after calling two more witness
ses.

WHEN AND HOW TO WEAN
THE BABY

tuberculosis is the only disease
that necessarily units mother for
nursing her baby, al though physi-
clans may sometimes think it wise in
the case of other diseases for a
mother to wean her child.
This is point stressed by Dir.
Florence Powdermaker, extension
specialist in nutrition of the State
Agricultural College in her series on
advice to young mothers.
Mothers milk, she says is so SUI
premely important for the baby that
the question of when to wean must
be considered very carefully. The
mere convenience of the mother is
never a reason; it is merely an ex-
cuse to escape responsibility. Forum
ately the great majority of mothers
have no desire to escape this duty
the contrary is usually the case
but they often wean the babies too
soon through lack of the knowledge
of fundamental facts. Often, when
the baby does not gain for short
period, the mother becomes afraid
that her milk may not be right for it,
and so she weans the infant. Instead,
she should have persisted with the
nursing at the same time having her
milk analysed. Having done this the
doctor can adjust her diet and routine
of living and possibly make good the
deficiencies.
On the other hand, there can be too
much of good thing. The baby
should not be nursed for more than
9 months or year, as more than
that is good for neither the baby nor
the mother. Before she ceases to
nurse him entirely, the bottles may
be substituted for one, or even two
musings, both to relieve the mother
ssd to accuston the child to cows
milk. The latter, of course, should be
modified according 10 the child's
health, age, and needs the formula
being given by nurse or doctor.
Don't wean in hot weather when
the child is easily upset. AS many of
the difficulties are due to too sud
den change from breast to cows
milk, the weaving should take place
slowly, over a period of about two
weeks. Substitute one feeding every
few days if the baby is not upset or
give a part bottle feeding after a
breast feeding. If the baby has pre-
viously been given water from bot
tie, it helps make the change easier.

z:E!.LLzlsISAM, NJ yEEFSSAM t. y,

Nest every one of US has set a
goal at which to arrive; some mark
to achieve before retiring from active
ser, re,
1t may be that we have set an age
limit or certain condition of wealth,
or possibly both, then we will get
out of harness.
Yet how few really carry out their
intention Death gets his icy
clutches on some before that time
comes; others are too much engrossed
in making money. Possibly the ma

"At the door the Pale Horse stands
To bear me forth to Unknown

Like the Frenchman in the poem,
all Of us have Carcassonne to visit,
yet, alas! how few of us get there,
and after lifetime of deferred 10y,
we must lament with him at the end
Alas! / never have seen

1t is fine to know that occasionally
some soul attains the place where he
can and will quit work, and do those
things he has always wanted to do.
Such an one, it seems, is Supreme
Court Justice Clark who resigned
from the bench to achieve his ideal.
The appended editorial from the

A GOOD SOUP

Cream of Tomato Soup: Open a
can of tomotoes and put a cupful of
its contents into saucepan. Add to
it small piece of bay leaf, a pinch
of ground Glove, and slice of raw
onion; bring this to a boil and let
simmer few minutes, then press the
pulp through sieve. To the strained
part add one-eighth of teaspoon
of baking soda (this reubralizes the
acid in the tomatoes SO that it will

Soup Basis given above, taking care
to add the tomato liquid to the cream

"Otum Cum Dignitate"
To read many books which |
have not had time to read in busy
life writes Justice Clark in his re-
signing letter, to travel and to serve
my neighbors and some public causes
in ways in which 1 cannot serve them
when holding important public place
these are the reasons why a man
sixty-five years young leaves the
bench
A breath from classical days! One
can see Cicero dressing his vines or
reading Vergil's bucolics or writing
DE Senectute.' Or Ulysses after
has leaving his isle to Telemachus,
sailing into the sunset in the hope of
yet seeing mighty Hercules or at
least the great Achilles. Or Diocle-
tian giving up world sceptre to en-
JOY the delights of Ragusa, or En-
peror Charles V going to monas-
terry to complete his days.
otium cum dignitate! Americans
have almost lost the habit or even
the ideal. There is philosophy of
early life and of middle life, but sell
dom of later life. An adjusted har-
ness makes callouses that conceal the
man beneath. Fluctuations, it would
seem, may be appropriately extended

aspects Of Z national campaign to in
terest tho public in the prcIEerman

He stated that the most effective
weapon with which TO fight this in
sidious attempt to make Americans
forget, is tho use Of Americanism 80
that the people will resent all foreign
effurts at influence.
There are 10000 Americans bar

the Hindenburx Line in 1918. The
American people will not forget this

That revolution for the restora-
ton Of the Hohen1oiien monarchy
Is impending, is tho belief Of Mr..
Powell. He asserts that Won linden

sr Of the movement, had attempted
to open his campaign BY calling for
war with France in his recent address
to the German Veterans League.
Germany Is today in better po-

In q bulletin issued by Garland W.

years, according to Mr.. Powell, has
been nsed by the red groups to pour
forth their destructiveness, TO hold

to protest against the orderly pro-

times, wantonly to destroy property

OUR OWN FAMILY ALBUM
(Continued)

This is the picture Of Grandmother
Oh, she was young then. I resncm-
Der how surprised I was when first
l saw her with her hair down. You
see how sleek it is there, parted in
the middle and drawn closely over
her head in an irky blackncss OF
beauty And after that first time |
saw the fullness and NERVOUSNESS Of
her hair, / used to beg her 30 take
it down so l could run my fingers
thru it.
When | look at Aunt Matthias pic
ture ! always smile with sort Of
fiendish delight that such a nagger is
dead; when look at Uncle Bigs's
likeness l always feel stab Of pity
that he had to put UP with her can
righteousness; the picture Of Aunt
Beulah doesn't affect me at all, and
that of Milly Higginson only makes
me laugh good-naturcdly at her fun
ny clothes and prissy manner.
But when I come to the picture Of
Grandmother, my eyes get sort Of
dim and there's queer Feeling
around my heart! Her voice was rs
gentle as the summer breeze that
used to stir the wheat field behind
the house; her smile was like the first
sunshine that comes out after the
rain the sun we children loved to
see after being copped up In the
house during the rain; her hands were
as cool and light as rose petals upon
my upturned face. When childish ills
kept me AIDED, GRANDMOTHER used to
sooth my eyes and imagine was
lying in the grass under the rose
bushes.
One day the children Of the neigh
borhood were taken by the wealthy
Mr.. Pleman in his "Tally-Ho" to a
picnic that is, all the children bat
me. And when the great vehicle with
its four prancing horses swung past
the house with its cheering load, It
left ME forlornly peering thru the
pickets of the fence, feeling - II the
chariot of heaven had left me behind.
The sobs welled up from my heart.
The burning tears came in a very
agony of disappointment! couldn't
realize that Mr.. Plcman had such .
mob of children that he wouldn't re
alize that he had left one insignifi-
rant boy behind l only knew that
life had suddenly grown hateful
my heart was breaking! And I crept
blindly into Grandmother's garden
and hid beneath her rose bushes 70
hide my tears and sobs.
1t was there she found me. And she
didn't embarrass me by asking Whist
was the matter. She had seen, and
she knew. She silently took me into
arms and took from her pocket some
of the delicious cookies I used to call
Granny Cakes But for once they
did not satisfy. And after choking on
them, buried my shamed face in her
bosom and wept afresh-
Then she sang to me:
when the dawn shall rise m
splendor
And in beauty on the hills,
And the sunlight falls in gladncss
On the rivers and the riils,
We recall our Fathers promise
In the rainbow of the spray
We shall know each other better
When the mists have ROLLED away"
And the tears ceased; the soos died
away; the heartache sofened and
ceased; where my head was pressed
to her breast l could hear the steady
beat of her dear heart and it seemed
TO soothe me. o
And after all these years. when the
troubles come and my heart aches.
l recall my Grandmothes's scng. It
helps me over the hard places.

Instructions
ATLANTIC CITY. /.

ATLANTIC CITY, June II.
"A jury sitting in District
Court here went on strike and
staged a walk-out under the
nose of Judge Clarence Petit,
despite his threats to cite the
members in contempt of court,
because they did not agree
with his direction for a verdict
for the defendant in a land
lord-and-tenant case. And they
got away with. it.
Mrs. Nellie Black had brought
suit against Samuel Barry, her
landlord, for $500, alleging
illegal election. She had been
sent to the hospital for an
operation and asked Barry's
wife to look after her house
until she returned. When she
got back three months later
she found all her furniture re-
moved and Barry in charge Of
the premises.
The court found that there
had been insufficient evidence
to prove Barry had exceeded
his rights and directed the jury
to find for him. The jurors
were in strong sympathy with
Mrs. Black, however, and
eleven left their seats and
walked out of the courtroom
