ANOTHER FREAK BILL

Congressman Parks of Arkansas has in- troduced a bill which would prohibit am- bassadors or cabinet officers from writing for publication and profit anything contain ing information which they might have ob- tained through their occupancy of such public offices.
 Just what inspired MT. Parks to offer such bill is not clear Certainly it would infringe upon the liberty of an American citizen in most unwarranted manner, be- sides it would doubtless in many cases de- prive the public of information of great value.
 Statesmen of all countries and in all ages have written of the events in which they played part and some of these writings are among the most Illuminating of the worlds historical documents. Others, it is true, are devoted mainly to glorifcation of the writers, but even these give the thoughtful reader better insight into the significance of the times with which they deal.
 The author of this freak bill is probably a poor writer, who never expects to be an ambassador or cabinet officer.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By special request, made by The Gate way editor, Wm. A. Thomas, priest in charge of All Saints church in Seward, contributes the following editorial in answer to The Gateway editorial publish ed last Monday entitled ''The church and it's field''
 When the statement "the more intel lectual man becomes the less he attends church" is directed against the church, she may truthfully reply that the same may be said in respect to politics. Substituting the higher term wisdom for intellectually, we have more debatable proposition. The man who applys his knowledge to the best and highest ends is likely to be found &C., lively interested in both church and state. Intellectualism in the church usually finds expression in theological dogmatism not readily understandable to the average lay man, while the temporal affairs are in the hands of jealous men who, not overly sue cessful, perhaps, in their personal enter prises seem to have leisure time to devote to ecclesiastical matters. The average in- telligent man of affairs is "too busy" to ac. tees or to go as delegate to church conven- tions hence resolutions, bearing upon poli- tical issues especially, have little weight when adopted by such conventions. The rule makes the exception all the more strik- ing. George Wharton Pepper and J. P. Morgan seldom miss convention of their church. Giving freely of their time and ability they, with their fellow lay-deputies, help to mold the thought and expression of their branch of the church universal. Were such men more generally available, the church would be more and more a power in the affairs of men and her methods ac- ceptable. Clergy alone by no means con- stitute the church; she needs her wise and intellectual laymen. Just so with politics. When all knowledge is consecrated in the cause of service, the church will cease for warding resolutions to Washington; they will not be necessary

GEORGIA .HONORs ITSELF

In Statuary Hall, in the Capitol at Wash ington, stand 50 or more statues They are mostly of the leading politicians of their day. Just the other day new, white statue was added to the assemblage of a thin, elderly man gazing down with a look of compassion. The assembled statesmen of his time probably never heard of him in life, but if there is increased wisdom be- yond the grave the other figures in Statu- ary hall must have bowed gravely, in spirit, to the newcomer, as to one who did more for humanity than most of us.
 For the figure is of Dr. Crawford w. Long, who on March 30, 1842, was the first man to use sulphuric ether as an anes- thetic during surgical operations.
 This unknown Georgia country doctor figured out way to bring merciful and un- conscious sleep to ease the agony of his pa tients a way in which millions have since been eased.
 The state of Georgia, which contributed the statue, has honored itself as we'll as Dr. Long by bringing this benefactor into the public notice for all time, and by breaking the precedent which has seemed to dictate that only politician could achieve granite immortality in Statuary hall.

HOW FIRES START

If your home or business building burns down it will generally be due to one or six causes, according to the National Fire Waste Council, which names these:
 l. Improper building construction
 2. Defective wiring or other improper in- stallation of equipment furnishing heat power and lights.
 3. Careless storage or handling of ex- plosives and infammable liquids.
 4. Handling and use of nitrocellulose films.
 5. Accumulations of trash and rubbish
 6. Carelessness with matches and in dis posing of cigar and cigarette butts.
 With the exception of the first named, all the above causes of fires may be largely eliminated with little or no expense. Sum- med up, the fact is that at least two-thirds of the fires which destroy more than $5OO,- 100000 worth of property and about 15,OO0 human lives each year may be traced dir ectly to pure carelessness.
 It is terrible price to pay for stupidity and reckless disregard of danger.

ONE MANS ROUTINE BUSINESS

In case you think your own life is bit tough, consider the case of Lieut.. Frank O'D. Hunter, operations officer at Selfridge Field, Michigan.
 Lieutenant Hunter began his career as an aviator during the war when he brought down eight German planes.
 Then, couple of years ago, his plane came down in crash and he broke his back. He recovered, went back to aviation, and had to jump out in parachute while 2000 feet above the ground when his stabi- lizer frame collapsed.
 Now he has again hirted with death by leaping 800 feet-in parachute, of course ito the ice of Lake St. Clair. His plane caught fire.
 Some day, if that young man doesn't watch out, he's going to get into danger.

In your assumption that a baby shall
not have more than one quart of milk
daily. Formulas are for the average
child Of 9 months and under, and the
.1l2 ounces Of milk per pound Of
weight would be for the infant Of less
than 1 year who Is getting only milk.
When other foods are added to the
diet the amount OF protein IS not
necessarily all obtained from the milk.
so such Il rule no longer has any
reason for existing. The one and one
half ounces per pound rule gives
the child the required amount of pro.
tein for his perfect development. I

actual harm they come at other than

his digestion, and they start the very
bad habit Of wanting" things at the
