Dr. Wiley, 81, Works
to SaUe Infants
Urges Proper Food for Ex-'

Means to Cut Child Mortali-
tyEiis Wide Activities De-
scribed.

''The older man gets the
more work he needs to keep him
in proper trim. Though am
now III my eighty-second year,
i have no intention Of giving up
any Of the work / am doing. In
deed, would rather take on more
work than to ease up any.
So spoke Doctor Harvey w.
Wiley, holder Of more assorted Jobs
than the average man holds ii q
lifetime, In denying rumors that
he intends to retire from active
life.
And 30 Doctor wiley today is
planning one Of the most important
campaigns Of his long and useful
career.
There still il 81 vast field for
Improvement In the pure food and
drugs situation In America, though
splendid reforms have been accom-
IpIished along these lines, Z Doctor
Wiley said.
Food for Mothers
but there il another field in
which the most important work
can be accomplished.
What I regard ais the most i'm.
portant food reform in the United
States today Is the provision Of a
proper diet for prospective mothers
and for nursing mothers.
If expectant mothers can be
educated and induced to take proper
care OF themselves, the infant
mortality rate in this nation can
be tremendously reduced.
Proper diet for mothers viii do
more for the vital welfare Of the
nation than any other one thing.
Five per cent Of all school chill
dren in the United States have i'm
perfect teeth, as q result of early
dietary Ills.
Many children have the ricketts,,
which Is needless aiIment caused
by improper diet.
This reform, IL successful, will
greatly increase the span of human
life In America. Already the span
has been increased by twelve years
during the past thirty-fiye years.
The average longevity of women
today il fifty-six years and OF men
ago the average was forty-four years
A0A WOAACh 0A40 AOHIJ'CWO JCeAlS LII
men.
Saving More Babies
This INCREASE in the life-span has
been accomplished chiefly through
saving the lives OF babies under one
year OF age.
'rhirty-five years ago fourteen
out of every 100 babies died before
reaching their first birthday. Now
only seven of every 100 die before
one year.
I'm New Zealand only four Of
every 100 die before the first year.
There is no reason why babies in the
United States should not show the
same low mortality rate as those
In New Zealand.
Proper feeding and care win
bring about this goal.
Proper diet for prospective and
nursing mothers and for babies will
come largely through the infant and
maternity act recently passed. There
is, however, q great field for con-
structive work and to this work
propose to dedicate my future years.
II want to live at least ten years
more SO that / may see my work in
this and other fields bear fruit.
During whatever time is left me I
propose to work as hard as al
ways have"

DESCRIBING LOVE

L0re Is like scented f1osCer
That perfumes the breath Of
spring,
GrotCist0 StCeeter every hour,
Causing Gcbtn0 hearts to sing.
Love Is like a song of glory,
WondTous message from the heart,
Making life Just one stOeet story,
Causing 0Iddness from the start.
Love deties the barren spaces,
Lets the golden sunshine IN;
BrtOhtens dark and gloomy places,
Bringing joy to feIlotcnteT.
Love prevails through care and sor-

Comforts all the sick and sad;
Like the ddtCmtn0 Of the moTroto,
So It dGtons to make us glad.

A Drive to Spokane

j. E. O'Neal had to make a
trip to Spokane Monday in his
car, and invited the Dispatch
editor to go with him, an offer
which we were glad to accept.
Crops are looking fine all the
way through, with the best pros
pect for a good crop this year
that this section has seen for
some time. The road is in good
shape, except for short stretch
east of Wilbur, where some
gravelling is being done, and
Main street of Davenport, which
is by far the worst piece of road
in the hundred miles. No
danger of violating the speed
regulations there.

Sheep Bands Going Through

The annual drive of sheep
from their winter ranges in the
Pasco and Kennewick country,
to the summer range in the for
est reserves on the other side of
the Columbia river, is in prog
ress now, and the Stevenson fer
ry, where they are taken across
the river, went out Monday, so
that there are many bands of
sheep between here and the riv.
er. The ferry was expected to
be in operation some time Thurs
day. and this would let the pro-
cession get started again again.
Perhaps a dozen big bands have
gone through in the last few
days, and there are still more
coming. AS this is the last town
before reaching their summer
camps. most of them are laying
in supplies, so that business has
been pretty good for some of our
local merchants this week

Yellowstone Trail
Adopts Sunset Route

Announcement was made We'd
nesday by the Yellowstone Trail
association that the route across
Washington had been changed
to follow the route of the Sunset
Highway the question having
been submitted to a referendum,
and adopted by the vote of 6, 127
to 2233 against. The new route
will be 143 miles shorter than
the old one which went through
Walla Walla and Yakima.
In addition to giving a shorter
route, the Sunset Highway is
the most scenic route across the
state. 1t is the Pacific division
of the Red Trail, or National
Parks highway, the Park to
Park Highway. and this addition
of the Yellowstone Trail should
draw little more travel this
way.

Girls Sewing Club Will
Sell Ice-Cream and Cake

On Saturday between the
hours, of three and four in the
afternoon and six and ten in the
evening, members of the Girls
Sewing Club will serve ice-cream
and cake on Welch's lawn. The
money thus earned will be used
to send the girls and their leader
to the boys and girls meet at
Pullman in June. 1t costs elev-
en- dollars for each one. That
pays the railroad fare each way,
due to reduced rates, and room
and BOARD are provided free Of
charge. One can" readily see
that besides being an instructive
trip it provides an inexpensive
vacation of one weeks duration,
with lots of hard work as well
as recreation. The community
is urged to come out and help
these girls by patronizing their
sale. .--Advt.

Surely, the Scotch are the most toll
Grant people in the world as they bear
the brunt Of most of it's so-called
humor. But there is considerable basis
for the well-circulated theory that the
Scot is canny. Here is an authentic
yarn, vouched for by Harry Furniss in
his "Solne Victorian Men" that H.
lustrates the point.
When Bessemer, the genius who gave
to steel his name, came to make his
discovery public, he put lump of the
famous steel in his pocket and made
his way to Nasmyth, of steel-hammer
fame.
Placing the metal on Nasmyth's S
desk, he told him that he had made an
extraordinary discovery which would
revoutionize the whole metal world.
Then came little incident which
shows what wonderful heads these
Scotch financiers possess. What do you
think Nasmyth said to this excited in
ventor?
"Eh, mon, it's vary risky to show
your wonderful invention. The world
is very dishonest"

Sheep and Sweet Clover

A farmer is known not only
by his buildings and clean fields
but also by his flock and herd
sires. Scrub sires and lack of
profit in livestock on the farm go
hand in hand.
Each of the farm flock owners
visited on the Spillman Agricul-
tural tour were using purebred
rams of quality. Good feeding
and management each played
part in increasing the wool clip
of Roy Smiths flock of Elberton
but the good purebred rams used
made it possible for this flock to
average IL pounds last spring.
William Krell of Tekoa sold his
market lambs at five months of
age AVERAGING 120 pounds in
weight, while his eve flock shore
IL 1-2 pounds of wool. Il use a
purebred ram and will continue
using purebred rams. in order
to build up uniform flock
of black faces" said Mr..
KreIl.
The recent United States De-
partment of Agriculture pure
bred ram poster is a strong in
dorsement of purebred rams.
Pictures are shown of scrub
"harebelly" eve shearing eight
pounds and of her eve lamb
shearing 9 pounds, the latter by
a purebred sire.
Scrub sires practically always
sire plain, common lambs. Data
on the Chicago market over a
period of four years for the first
week of July, indicates thet
common" lambs sold for 81. 76
less per head than did good"
lambs.
Profitable livestock production
is rarely, if ever, seen in the alb
sence of purebred sires. Practi-
cally 100 percent of the states
range sheepmen use purebred
rams. What better proof is nec-
essary.
