Proper feeding of the mother should begin in the earliest founda- ton period of the prenatal life. Mrs. Mann learned.
 It seems to be one of Nature S mistakes that the mothers teeth often decay during this period.
 This defect in the teeth is brought about by the growing child requir- ing much calcium for the develop mentsof its teeth and bones. The motlier's food does not contain enough of this mineral substance for both bodies, so the mother suffers.
 To protect both her own teeth and the child. the mother should drink

Lillian Sets the Stage for Search of
 Waif's Trunk.

wan irtliik,
 Mine always has been rather a lofty attitude toward the curiosity of back fence Gossipers. but in hu- mility l acknowledged myself one fin spirit with tho worst of the clan as l found myself grasplng eagerly at Lillian's invitation 10 remain over night at the hotel. Her an- nounced determination to investi- gate the trunk of the queer waif made a strong appeal to me, one which, to do justice to myself, did not spring wholly from curiosity. The sirI's fancicd recognition of mo had moved me more than I wished Lillian to know, and l welcomed the opportunity 10 find out any thing l could concerning my friend's s mysterious guest.

 She walked swiftly 10 the tele- phone and spoke with the crisp f1rmness so characteristic of her in all her business dealings,

to my sorrow that you have to shed many gallons of them before your soul is dry of emotion.
 Mrs. Prescotts oldest boy Is a wonder. I have never seen a more beautiful child, and I never saw a child that so idolized his mother as that baby - he is only three years old.
 When he was brought in to see his new little brother this morning, he hardly paid any attention to him at all. His whole concern seemed to be for his mother, whom he had not seen for a month and whom he had been told was very ill.
 "Junie's been a good boy, muv- yer, but Junies so lonesome with out you. Junie pray God. make my muvver all well. Junie all sick here when muvver sick" and that blessed baby put his hand over his heart and drew sobbing breath.
 Strange as it may seem, the child has been really ill. taking no in- terest in anything since his mother has been sick. He has paid no at- tentiOn to his father or any of those about him. and all the while his only cry has been T want my muvver. l want my muvver. Why don't she come to Junie?"
 AIr. Prescott seemed more hurt that the child paid no attention to him than he was anxious about his wife Every day he would take him in his arms and tell him a long comforting tale about his "muv- yer"
 "Ill tell you what, old chap" I heard him say. one morning as he was rocking the baby in his arms, you shall see your mother as soon as the doctor will let anyone see her. She wants to see you more than anyone, Jackie. I know she wants to see you more than she does me"

GET FOOD FROM AIR
Airplancs Dropping Supplies on NaroOned Swiss Save Lives of Three During Storms.

Berne, Feb. 19.-Food from the skies in the shape of corned beef and hard tack dropped from air planes in daily flights over the Alps saved the lives of three Swiss AL pinists who were marooned fof eight days by terrific storms in the Marinelli shelter hut on top Of the Rcrnina mountains and who arrived safely at Pontresina yesterday.
 The Alpinists. bearing two days rations. left for their climb on feo- ruary 10 and were caught in a Vor- tex of hurricanes. They had been gone four days when Swiss military fiers discovered them in the wilder ness and directed them to thelr shelter hut.
 The fliers then returned for food which, being unable to land owing tn the deep snow, they managed to fling to the Alpinists as they swooped down over the hut. This perform ance was repeated daily until the storms abated.
 This is the first time aviation has been brought to play in Alpine re- lief work.

 Show Them Effective

San Pedro, February l9.--Bfre ob- solete naval bombing planes of the vintage of 1917 sank" a simulated dreadnaught in target practice here yesterday. dropping 20 TINT bombs on or near the area representing the enemy vessel from an altitude of r. 900 feet.
 Aviators participating in the test were jubilant over the results, and declared that had they been equip- ped with modern bombers they could have attacked from an altitude of from 10 900 to 15,000 feet with great CT speed and accuracy and with a much greater measure of safety from the operations of anti-aircrafl guns.
 The planes flew in V shaped for nation, each of the five carrying two bombs of IF pounds INT content. Their first try at the target was con- sidered effective" that is, all of the ten bombs dropped came close enough 10 the moving target to have caused serious damage
 It was in the second attack, how ever, that the squadron made itr best record. No one of the ten bombs dropped in this salvo struck the water more than Is yards of the mean point of center of simulat' ed superdTeadnaught.
 This mean point of center" wal the hull of an old flying boat. II was toed at a speed of approximate iy Is miles an hour and the firing of this tiny target center by the ter bombs was set down as n "perfec straddlr." by observing officers,
 Lieutenant J. $. Strong, who lee the bombing squadron, was quoted as saying after the test that the re suits proved Brigadier Genera Mitchell was Absolutely correct a! 10 the effectiveness of bombardmen from the air upon vessels" Admiral Robert E.

ever known. The universal suffrage principle is more widely recognized in America than anywhere on earth. In a monarchy the people can be compelled to serve the state, but in a democracy the state must be made to serve the people. To do this the citizen must take an Intelligent and unsellsh interest in his or her gov ernmcnt. Our government is after all exactly what we make it. If it is good and beneficicnt, ours is the credit. If it is bad We alone are to blame. Neither our constitution or laws are fixed things, Difficult as 1t 1 it to accomplish it, we have amend ed the constitution of the United States nineteen times. and we can amend it nineteen times more if we desire 10 do so.
 The chief danger in America to- day is not from Bolshevism or Red Socialism, but from the popular apathy and ignorance which prevails on all sides. Only fifty percent of our people took interest enough in their government 10 come and vote in our last national election. As people we gre taking q great deal of more in- terest in our amusements than we are in our politics. And yet, We have the warning of history that when the people of a democracy neglect their political duties and obligations they put their own rights and !iber- ties in jeopa rdy. AS long as the Ro- mans went to the forums where public debates were held on ques- tions of real importance the Roman republic was safe and the liberties of the Roman citizens secure.
 But from the moment they fore sock the forums and flockcd into the amphitheaters to witness the gladt- atorial combats and into the Coli seums to witness the chariot races, the Roman republic began to totter and the Romans began 10 lose their nights and liberties,

TYPHOID SCARE IS
 SUBJECT 0F TALK
Oyster Men Meet to Discuss
 Indytry'S Welfare

Washington, Feb. 19.-Health au- thorities from more than 20 states and a number of cities came here today to confer with the public
 health service on means of prevent ing a recurrence of the typhoid scare over oysters. Those attending
 hoped to discover methods by which definite tests could be made from time to time as protection for both the public health and the oyster industry,
 Assistant Secretary Wadsworth of
 the treasury, at whose suggestion the meeting was called declared tests had shown there was no req
 son to fear typhoid germs in oysters
 at this time and that no unusual typhoid condition had obtained
 since about the middle of December,
 Mir. Wadsworth told the confer
 ence that without complete CO., operation among all those interested in the industry there would be lit- tie the government could do 10 aid. Recalling that the public health service has reported that since De- cembcr 20 oysters have not contrib
 uted any unusual factor toward the spread of typhoid infection, he said:
 Public confidence has begun 10 return and will undoubtedly be en-
 tirely restored. The industry will regain it's market. My hope is that the deliberations of this conference will be constructive and will lead
 10 a definite course of action which will not only hasten a return of public confidence but will as far as human ingenuity can do so, make another outbreak of similar nature impossible"

ARREST BORROWER
 FROM RUINED BANK
Rhode Island Mill Man Nabbed
 as Witness in Providence

Providence, k. l., Feb. 19,-Rich- ard L. Broome, mill man of Slocum, K. l.. and principal borrower from the Kingston Trust Co.,, which has collapsed as the result of alleged embczzlement of $ll0,000 by its secretary-treasurer. Miss Maude F, Tefft, was being held as a material witness In Washington county jail this morning in default of s5,000 bail.
 Broome was arraigned at spe- cial session of the second district court held in the home of Judge James o. Watts at Narragansett Pier at 1:20 o'clock this morning, following his arrest as a fugitive from justice as he was boarding a train here for Slocum yesterday af- ternoon, having arrived in this city from New York earlier in the day. Attorney General Charles P. Sisson grilled him for seven and three quarters hours at Providence police headquarters before ordering his arraignment.
 Following the questioning, the attorney general announced that 1 the prisoner had admitted borrow , ing a total of s51 1000 from Miss Tefft beginning with loan of $1,00O m the fall of 1923. Although the attorney general did not specify whether Broome was aware that Miss Tefft was irregularly appro- priating the money to lend him. he did declare that several months previous to the first loan Miss TeTt had been warned by the board oi directors not to extend credit tc Broome.
 Woman Not Surprised
 That Miss Tefft was not surpris. cd by her arrest was indicated ir the statement of Attorney Genera Sisson that on Sunday night, 24 hours before she was taken into custody, she had sent Broome tc New York in an effort to secure q rebate from stock swindlers with whom she had invested money be- longing to the bank in order that she might to some extent cover the shortage in her accounts, It was upon his return from this trip that Broome was arrested.
 Broome is proprietor of the Ponti- ac mills at Slocun1. He is said tC have commenced borrowing from Miss Tefft at about the time his plant partially burned down and reconstruction was necessary. The loans were covered only by notes unsecured by collateral. Interest on these notes was never paid. Miss Tefft has admitted to Attorney Gen eral Sisson that Broomes requita' for her favors in lending him money was the gift to her of small quanti. ties of cloth from his mill at vari ous times and a Christmas presen last December.
 The belief that Miss Tefft wa l making nasty preparations to mee the crisis before her arrest gather ed strength yesterday with the dis covery that on Monday morning she transferred the deed of the house occupied by her mother in Wake field, R. l., to her two brothers Earl and Andrew Tefft.

LARGER AIR FORCE
 IS BEING SOUGHT
Great Britain to Ask Enormous
 Appropriation
By The Associated Press.

bs 4uC NSepNIhLCA IHSS'
 London, Feb. 19.-Pariamcnt will be asked to sanction an expenditure of 21,319.300 pounds for the mainte nance and expansion of the air force during the financial year 1925-cG, the air secretary, Sir Sam uel Hoare, announced in making public the estimates today.
 While the service itself only asks 15.513,000 pounds the secretary eX- plained, the colonial office asks B. 116,700 for air use in Palestine, Transjordania and Irak. the admir- alty wants 1,320,o00 pounds for the fleet arm, and other amounts, in cluding repaymcnts and other or dinary appropriations, bring the to- tai to the gross estimate given.
 This amount represents a net in- crease Of 1,927,300 pounds over last years estimates, which totalled 19,- 392.000 pounds one of the features of the estimates is an appropriation for airships, which were not in- cluded for several years and were only made last year through d small supplementary appropriation,
 The air secretary plans an in crease in the enlisted personnel from 35, 5,00O to 3G,Oo0 and the addi- ton of seven more completely equipped home defense squadrons, making a total of 2j. The strength of the fleet arm will hc increased toward the end of this year hv four additional flights to meet naval re- quircments.
 With reference 10 Irak. Sir Sam uel says it is explained that it will be necessary 10 maintain eight sauadrons there until the northern frontier is sufficiently stabilized, but the government intends 10 reduce the imperial garrison there as soon as circumstances allow. While cer- tain economies are being made in Egypt and Palestine, the equivalent of four squadrons will remain there for the time being.
 The estimates include G4,000 pounds for the development of re- serve and auxiliary scores.
 The air secretary points out that the experiment program for the coming year contemplated the com- mcncement of l2 types of atrcrs't and 12 types of engines.
 Regarding airship development Sir Samncl says the commercial service is the principal object tc be kept in view at present, and the pro- gram is made sufficiently elastic to speed up transition 10 the phase of commercial operation. The R-33 has been conditioned for experiment. al flights and the R-3G is being re- conditioned for q flight to Egypt, while an exhaustive test Is being made in other directions 10 ensure the safety and success of the new ships, which are twice as large as any prevously constructed. The estimates include provision for the air minister's salary being raised 10 the level of those of the other secretaries of state.
