luncr with me at my hotel. Lunch
was served in nay apartment and

venison, every bit of which was con

spoke of the pound, off the neck of a
bull. which we had seen at the school
and asked the ladies 70 estimate the
weight of the venison steak we had
before US. They guessed two pounds
and a half: and that was none too
much for us three grown-ups, whereas
one pound had 20 do for those twenty
growing girls. In addition we had
clear turtle soup at the start. some
potato patties and ice cream, with fruit
and coffee to close. There must be
something wrong with a world where
such diverse conditions can exist
within pistol shot of each other.

The museum of this baby hospital
is interesting. 1t has exhibits of

clothing and diseases of various
kinds. An interesting thing in con-
nection with the museum is q CHM
panzee, which was born in tho Berlin
Geological Garden. Its mother died
and the hospital took charge of this
big baby monkey and weaned it on
bottle milk. 1t has grown to full size
and seems very happy in spite Of the
fact that the doctor had to amputate
it's right arm. This was because the
chimpanzee, when grabbing at a nut
handed it by visitor, caught its
arm between two iron bars Of the
cage and in trying to pull 1t out
broke it in such q way that amputa-
tion was necessary.
What I have written is the bright
side Of the baby picture. 1t has its
dark side as well. Just now the pow
erty of Germany hangs like q pail
over infancy. Thousands OF families
are on the edge of starvation, and
their children are undsrfed and un-
derclad. remember a sentence of
Nietxsche, the great German advo-
cate of war a the upbuilder OF ma
tions. He said: Children. who prefer
sweetmeats to bread, destroy their
he could see no such danger now,
for the little ones Of his country have
neither bread nor sweets to digest.
INDEED. it is diffcult for their
i parents to keep the babies alive
hear Of newborn infants being
wrapped in paper instead Of clothing,
and of their lying naked on straw.
With such conditions cleanliness Is
impossible. The problem Of tens Of
thousands of families Is how to buy
milk for the babies. and any kind of
food for the older children. In the
poorer quarters Of the cities one sees
stunted boys and girls Of twelve who
do not look to be more than seven or
eight, and those of eight who appear
not over FIVE or six. 1t seems to me
that the life has gone out Of the
little ones Of the third and fourth
grade schools. They are pale and
anemio and. they lack pep. They
recall Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
poem about the children who labored
on their hands and knees, harnessed
like ponies, dragging coal cars in
the mines Of England years ago.
That poem stirred the nation to its

| Inents for children and babies.
| Baby hospitals are to be found here
ard there all over Germany. They are
! operated after the most modern child
health methods and from them goes
out propa gdnda as to 1.-The caring for
! babies which reaches every family of
the republic. They send out picture
postals with German poetry on them
| directing attention to the faults and
virtues of certain ways of child rearing
and some of the pictures are in dupli-
| cate telling YOU 5ut how to handle
and how not to handle your offspring
| They give instructions as TO the care
of the milk, feeding the COWS. and as
to everything under the sun that has
to do with baby farming.
Take, for instance, the model of all
| baby hospitals here in Berlin. 1t is
known as the Kaiserin-Auguste-Vi
| toriaHaus and at it's head is Prof.
DIR. Langstein, the foreost baby spe-
cfalist of Europe. Here the babies
are kept in glass cases. the rooms are
shut off. and the breath of a visitor
is not allowed to get near the mouths
Of the little ones.
This hospital is in the heart Of the
city and is one of the finest of the
before the war, when money was
plenty, and it has all the appliances
that modern science can furnish.
visited t yesterday. In going through
was permitted to look into the
rooms. but only through a glass set
in each door. The reason for this is
to guard against any contagion that
caution is carried to such an extreme
that the nurses who handle the very
young children are allowed to do so
only with a mask which covers both nose
and mouth and prevents their breath
coming in contact with the child.
Nearly every baby was inclosed in
glass screens. SO that it could not af-
feet the other babies In the same room,
and some Of the rooms were filled
with incubators where the babies have
just the right heat and other condi-
tions to prevent them from dying. In
deed. if a baby should draw it's first
breath in this hospital. I doubt that
it could die If it would.
X * X
nNE floor OF the hospital is devoted
~ to the healthy babies and another
to the sickly ones. There are rooms
OF different classes, ranging In price
from 10 to cents per day. according
to the rank of the patient. The first
class rooms, which cost Is cents, are
like those any large private hospital,
and they are fitted up for one baby
only. In the scent rooms several
women may sleep after the birth of
their babies; in the 15-cent ones, only
one mother.
AS went through the halls I saw
number of women who were expect
ing babies. They come to the hospital
and work for their board during this
time. Some of them were carving
food.

Germany. They may bt
small. but they bulk large in the
everlasting struggle between the
Germans and the French.
The French birth rate is dropping
The German birth rate is increasing
and, what is of immense Importance
the Germans are breeding more boys
than girls and the surplus of boy
babies has increased since the war.
IN 1918 out of about $4,000 babies,
the boys exceeded the girls by $4,000;
IN 1919 they surpassed them by $4,000,
and in 1920 there were $1,000 more
boys born than girls. In the latter
year the crop of babies exceeded the
crop Of 1918 by more than 30 per
cent
For generations the stork has pre-
ferred Germany to France as its IA
Vorite resting place. About nifty
years ago the populations of the two
countries We're almost the same.
France had then 36.000.000 and Ger
many less than 1000, 900 more. Today
France has less than 40,000,000, while
the Germans. Notwithstanding their
losses during the world war, have
increased to 10000. 900 and more. This
is so in spite of the large emigration
from Germany and the fact that there
has been practically no emigration
from France.
During my stay in Paris | found the
French government doing everything
1t could to increase the birth rate. but
50 far the results are not fiattering.
More than one-sixth of the babies
born in that country do not reach the
age of twelve months. and there Is
large number of illegitimate children
who are abandoned by their parents
There are numerous founding asy-
lums and baby hospitals but they lack
the scientific efficiency Of the Ger
man institutions of a similar kind,
and the mortality is far greater than
it should be.
Here in Germany the angels who
watch over the babies go on the
theory expressed in John Hays
Little Breeches":
ct think that saving a little child
And bringing him to his own.
Is derned sight better business
Than loafing around the throne"
X + X \
THESE people consider their babies
i a national asset, and, legitimate or
illegitimate, every, effort is made to
keep them alive and bring them to
manhood. They have more than 1900
children's bureaus which watch over
the little ones. They have asylums
and hospitals which take care Of the
poor. and there are homes to which
the unmarried mother can go before
the birth Of her child and can stay
for a period of two years. earning her
living by doing sewing, an art which
is taught her. The object is to keep
the mother and baby together. If
the mother had to work outside for
her living, she would have to farm
out her baby or put it whore she
could see it but seldom. While she is
at work in the home the nurses take
care Of the children and everything
Is done to make them healthy and
happy. Another reason for keeping
the mother and child together is that
the father Of tho child often visits

With ten brood sows of the Duroc Jer-
Soy breed, and since then have been
increasing this branch Of their ranch

In 1922 this ranch produced 623 hogs,
and during the high waters Of last
August had the misfortune of losing
about forty head. This was the great
est number Of hogs ever produced on
this ranch since they engaged in the
hog business, four years ago. They
now have $50 head of brood sows and
Mr. Helm informs US that he hopes
to be able to raise 1000 hogs during

in this county is very profitable. Al
