BIRTH AND HEALTH

An important news item tells us that Lower birth rate and higher death rate for the last year. as com pared with 1922 were reported by the census bureau"
 The popular idea is that married men and women, devoted to social life rather than to the home are the ones to blame, The advocates of birth con- trol propaganda insist that the wealthy are able to obtain birth con- trol information, when the poor, or people of moderate means cannot do so. This, in a measure, is undoubtedly true, but a study of tho latest statistics show that there are quite as many deaths in the rural district as in the congested localities Of the cities. In fact it has been shown that in tho cast side of Now York, probably the most terribly-crowded section Of this country, the infant mortality Is not great.
 The New Britain superintendent Of health has recently made an appeal for aid in reducing inc infant death rate The Visiting Nurse Association is consantly on tho watch for chances to help. The people who encourage, support and enthuse such welfare or- ganization are not the ones who in- crease the birth rate: they are tho people who realize the menace to health and happiness caused by too many children.
 Home without children Is not home, Rut a mother twenty-six years Of age who has four children, us recently noted in the news. is scarcely expected 10 be mentally or physically strong. Theodore Roosevelt was to be admired in many ways. We would like 10 have him at the head of our gotcrnmcnt at this moment. But his advocacy of a large family under every circum- stance was ono or the exceptions which proved the rule

? COMMUNICATED
ANDY HAS A TOOTH PULLED

Mary Ann:
 l l couldn't write to you before be- cause l had toothache and a tooth ache aint any joke, no matter how much it hurts, but the tooth finally stopped aching after it was pulled. It sall happened because some people don't realize what it means when they give away homemade candy. Last night l was visiting q fellows house and this fellow had a sister that made some candy and invited us to help ourselves. I don't care very much for candy but just to be soci- able l ato six or seven pieces. After ! ate them I wished l hadn't been so sociabIc. The girl said it was marsh mellow but 1 guess she meant Carmels eff this girl ever makes ice cream, it'll come in bricks). It affected one tooth so much that l went 10 the den- list that fixes teeth on the top floor | of the building next to the big garage on our street. l asked the dentist to pull the tooth because it was aching so I could hardly stand or sit down with the pain. He took me in the other room and closed the door so nobody could hear what was going on. , (which was plentyD He asked me if , wanted gas, and I said. Gas or electric lights, it don't make any diff ference as long as you can see to pull that tooth"
 He is a big husky guy and l heard that he used to be an athlete in his college days; judging from the way he twisted my head and jaws around, he must Of been wrestler. l hope nobody ever gets a hold on my pocketbook like he grabled hold on that tooth with all his strength and l held onto the chair with all my strength; it's a good thing l did or I'd 1 been dragged all over the room. Fin ally the tooth gave up the tug-of-war that was going on inside my head and let teh dentist win. The dentist asked, Did it hurt" l couldn't say q word, l could only look at him.
 He couldn't have hurt more if he hooked a five ton truck on to the tooth and lowed il out. Anyways I'm glad he didn't think of using a couple sticks of dynamite and blasting the tooth out.
 He is going. to pnt a bridge in the place where the tooth was aching but aint's no more. II ain't like the kind of bridge that horse and wagons or people walk on, but is just a small one to help you when eating, so you'n have more chance against a steak or something, only when you get the bill you'll think you're paying for a real bridge.
 l will pay the bill but will make him wait like I've had 10 wait in his waiting room for hours with nothing 10 do except read the magazines that were new in 1916. The next time you sec me I will have the bridge in ind will smile nice like l do when we have company, also I will grin away back to my ears and show you how look when there is some gold in my face.
 Yours most respectful

WITH APOLOGIES

It IS always difficult for q news paper to mention advertising. Every one knows that the receipts from the sale of the paper scarcely pay for the paper on which is printed. The profit is always from the advertising. For this reason newspaper hcsitatcs to mention the fact that it leaves out the paying advertising in order to in- corporate in it's news column all the news it gets over the wires or from local sources. And yet that is what the Herald did yesterday.
 We realize that the advertising means a great deal 10 our readers. Friday is an especially hard day to get all the advertisements in, as Saturday is the day when we do large part of our shopping. Thursday night the Herald force works six hours or more overtimes in order 10 accommodate its readers and its advertisers in their de- sire to know and to present their offer ings. TO insure publication Of store anonncembcnts on Fridays the ad- vertisine copy should be in the Herald office by o'clock Thursday afternoon. This newspaper has no desire 10 ap- pear unselnsh m this matter. because, ss previously stated profit counts from tho advertisers but it does hope that if win continue to facilitate trade by presenting tho offering Of merchants for the benefit of the Herald reader

nights. On the other hand Dugald Mo Milan, possibly the most successful merchant in the city and now retired, has frankly stated that he has chang cd his views and secs the benefits of the one-way plan. Max Porter is straightforward enough to say that he has withdrawn his former objections and sees that the plan is d good one.
 It required considerable courage on thc part of members of the ordinance committee to deside 10 adopt the plan CT to recommend it's adoption, in he face Of strong objections from several chairman of that committee is obliged to drive around the park 10 get 10 his office. iastcad of coming straight down West Main street, but he states that he is able to get to his office moro quickly under the onc-way plan then he was before it was adopted.

Enter the silly season in industry.

1 Enter the silly season in industry. I With a presidential campaign about to open, Big Business shows the usual trcmors of fear and already curtail- ment of activities is beginning to be felt.
 Every four years. unless unusual i conditions intervene. Big Business in America goes on a vacation because 1 president is to be elected. There seems to be no sound economic req son why this should be so but his
 tory proves that it is so.
 Current events in Washington in i dicate that the president is not such an important factor in government after all There's a republican presi- dent at one end Of Pennsylvania avenue and a republican congress at the other end. The congress seems to be bent on reversing the policies of the president and the president is op- posed to the policies of congress. Bills are passed and promptly vetoed and passed over the vetoes until man standing at the corner of Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue would be-
 come cross-eyed trying to watch the White House and the Capitol in an atteplpt 10 see what was taking place at those respective spots. President Coolidge makes a suggestion and one would think that not paying atten- ton is the best thing congress knows how to do. So it does not seem to
 be of great importance who is presi- dent.
 Nevertheless the old symptoms of q falling off in business are begin ,ning to make their appearnce. Fac tories are beginning to curtail thelr
 schedules. Their reason, of course, is
 that orders are dropping off. So many factories make products for other
 factories that the sequence of events hurts industry as a whole when one becomes cautious and decides to buy from hand to mouth.
 America has been getting along nicely for quite spell since the Con- stitution was adopted and govern iuent set mp In Washington and it seems that it might have sense enough to know that it will continue to worry along regardless of who IS president. After all, it would be al-
 most impossible for government 10 fritter away its time and indulge Tn the pastime of playing at making laws more than the present govern ment has done within the past few months. Platform orators have ar Eued for less government in business and less business interference in gov ernment but the ereatet boon that would befall tho country would be 10 get moro horse sense into both.
 The situation politically seems to bo that the republicans are fearful lest they lose control at Washington ane the democrats arc at the best hope full of putting complete democratic ticket in the White House and con- gross. No man whose opinion Is not above suspicion has yet declared post lively that he thinks either side VIII win. spokesmen for both parties la sue statements which fairly exude op- tmism, but that's part of their job and can be discounted for that req son. Meanwhile Rig Business becomes
 pale and aencmic and tries 10 pose as an interesting invalid looking for sympathy
