Your Baby and Nli:'"

The ba by can only 60 two hours
without being nursed. The weli-fed
baby can go three and four hours
without being hungry.
The first thing to do. of course. is
to add Complementary feelings TO the
nursing and thus give the baby what

! every three hours in the day time and
at 10 and , o'clock at night for the
time being). After each nursing give

To Treat Chilblains.

Ii you are troubled with chilblains,
paint the first little red patch with
tincture of iodine right away. Very
often this in itself is sufficient to stop
it growing any more. If very irritat-
ing and painful, get a druggist to
make you up an ointment containing
some menthoI and oil of wintergreen,
or else massage them we'll with a
camphor liniment. If they have
broken, hot fermentation is the best
treatment with an occa sional soaking
n hot water to which a little peroxide
OF hydrogen GO volume) has been
added. A broken chilblain should be
kept scrupulously clean and treated
like surgical wound. as any dirt or
dye getting into it may cause it to be-
come a very bad septic wound. II
these simple treatments are not ef-
feCtive. consult YOUR doctor.

The galva nized clotheS lines do not
sag as the fiber lines may. and they
are permanent once they are put in
place. Being weatherprOof. you do not
have to bring them in with the wash.
If YOU buy a fiber rope-that is, sisal,
hemp, jute. etC.-be sure that it Is not

HOW IT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Saturnine.'' y

Frequently in speech that does not
profess to he rhetorical, we meet with
the word "saturnine" to describe a
person who is grave and gloomy,
severe and perhaps a bit dull.
The term takes US to the old science
of astrology which may be said to
have seen its heydey centuries ago.
According to astrological belief,
peoples characteristics were inf1u-
enced largely by the planets under
which they were born. Saturn is a
planet whose position is remote from
the sun. with properties therefore
quite opposite to those Of Mercury
which is near the sun. Saturn's in
f1uences were supposed to he dark and
grave and gloomy. Hence. people dis
pl4 wing such qualities have applied
10 them in modern speech the term
"saturnine,"

CHRONIC LoAFERs

Evrey city has its chronic loafers and Key
West is no exception. They stand out in bas re-
lief and they serve but one purpose and that is as
horrible example. In larger cities they evade
detection but in smaller places like Key West their
presence is more conspicuous and more objection
abe in consequence.
Laziness is probably the easiest vice to ac-
quire and the most horrible in its results, in fact
it is the beginning of all vices. Sociologists say
that once a man has learned to exist without work
for even short period of time he rarely wants to
work again.
Society should ostracise the town loafer and
make him feel his exclusiveness Another effec-
tive way to get rid of this debris Of society is to IN
woke the vagrancy law and after they are coralled
put them to work. The busy bees know how to
get rid of their drones

PEACE AND PACIFISM

Among all the movements now abroad IN
the world with the ostensible aim of promoting I'M
iversal peace there are some of which use the
cloak of worthy cause in spreading propaganda
of the most sinister sort
Every right-minded person wants peace But,
as has been often pointd out, there is great diff
ference between desiring peace, and being willing
to sacrifice everything else to secure it.
The Revolutionary fathers might have had
peace through submission to the encroachments OF
the British crown Belgium might have had peace,
for a little while at least, by allowing the Germans
to cross her territory without resistance. at the
beginning Of the Word War.
Illustrations like these might be multiplied in
definitely, to show what the doctrine of pacifism
or non-resistance may lead to- While it is the hope
of ideaIisss that war eventually may be banished
from the earth, few practical persons cherish any
such delusion. About the best that may be hoped
for is to reduce the causes of war to a minimum,
and endeavor to ocaze hostilites which inevitably
break out from time to time.
This result will be attained, not through either
mtarism or pacifism but through reasonable pre-
paredness for eventualites, while exertng every
honorable means for preserving peace

BREAKDOWN OF LAW

At the recent annual meeting of the American
Bar Association in Denver it was openly ADMITTED
by prominent members that public confidence in
the courts and their administration Of the law is
being steadily weakened
A report adopted denouncing ''the grow
ing prevalency of the use Of expert witnesses. with
their conflicting testimony. This referred partic-
ularly to the use Of aliensts in criminal cases,
where experts may always be secured to testify
hat the accused is insane provided he has the mon
cy to employ them.
AS a matter Of fact. lawyers in convention
very frequently criticise the prevailing method of
criminal procedure, but so far they have done very
little 10 correct ii.
Legislators are also to blame for the present
state of affairs but as most legislators are lawyers
the responsibility still rests almost wholly upon the
legal profession.

ing everything under the sun, and imposing upon
peace officers the task of enforcing trivial and Of

WHAT POVERTY MEANS

At times when we become discouraged, and
feel that the world is not treating fairly it would
be well to reflect upon the terrible poverty that is
being endured by the unhappy peoples Of the east
crn hemisphere.
Just one instance of this is seen in the plight
of 10000 Bulgarian refugees, who have been left
homeless and landless by the interchange of popu-
lations between Balkan countries since the war.
In their case an effort is being made to render as
sistance through s10,OOo.o0O loan to be raised
under the auspices Of the League of Nations, which
has already aided Grek refugees to some extent.
This loan, if arranged, will only provide a
rough house, some seed, COW, one-half shsre in a
pillow ard cart, and one-fourth share in harrow
for each family, with provisions to aid them
while crop is being made.
In a plea for these people before the council
of the League, the representative of Belgium de-
clared that he had never seen more pftiful and
tragic spectacle than that presented by these Bull
garian peasants, who had been torn from their
homes and all they possessed through no fault of
their own.
Only when we contemplate the abject poverty
Of such people these can we begin to appreciate
how fortunate we to have been born in Amer
lea.

WHO WILL BE sENAroRa

Leaving aside the matter Of party politics. an
interesting question has been raised BY Congress
man Lea of California concerning the Pennsylvania
senatorship
II has been believed by many that in the
event of Wares election he may not be seated by
the Senate. on account Of the large sum Of money
spent in his behalf during the primary campaign
This opinion is supported by the precedent aft
fOrded by the Newberry case, as well as by ex-
pressions Of numerous senators Who will have
vote on the question.
Bot Mr.. Lee points ont that il the Senate
should fail TO seat Ware. senator to fiji the va
eaney Would be appointed by Governor Fisher. He
DECLARES that while the combination al Ware and
Beidslnan spent over $500 900; the combination of
Pepper and Fisher spent over sl.sOOoOo. Ware
and Fisher we're nominated. Now. Mr. Lea. con-
tends, by depriving Ware Of his seat the Senate
would permt the governor. whose combination
spent nearly three times rs much to appoint SEN
stOr IL Wares place. Probably he would appoint
his running mate. Senator Pepper.
If spending excessive amounts Of money is
vroneaoing." says Congressman Lea, then the
unseatng Of Ware would result in rewarding the
greater offender whom nc had defeated"
Really. it Is nice little question that Is to be
passed up TO the senate. assuming as seems prob
able. that Ware shall be successful in the general
election.
