a few days ago a friend asked why
a larger proportion Of mothers now re-
sort to bottle feeding Of the babies
than used 70 be the rule.
II more mothers do resort 10 arti-
fetal feeding, it is because bottle feed
ing is infinitely safer than it was a

30 years ago, 30 babies out Of every
1000 born. died before they reached
the age Of one year. Now only 90
die out Of every 1000 born.
II mothers are not capable now Of
supplying breast milk, it is because
a smaller proportion Of mothers pro-
vide themselves with the milk-produc-
ing foods. II requires the greatest
care 10 make sure Of getting such
foods. In modern times many foods
are 80 denaturcd that they do not
supply the mothers with the ele,
ments necessary for milk production.

sibilitics Of motherhood. may have

THEIR FIRST JOBS
A Financier Who Started as An Elevator Boy.
By PHILIP NOWLAN

One very prominent business man
was born in Christianstadt, Sweden,
in 1881 and an immigrant at eight
with his mother, father and four
younger children. The family knew
the ragged edge Of poverty for n num-
Der Of years in Minneapolis, where
the youth at fourteen landed his first
job as an elevator boy in the offices
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad at
$15 per month.
Fired by n Unsuitable ambition he
taught himself shorthand from public
library books and typcwriting on an
office machine during his lunch hour.
lie later became private secretary TO
the late James J. Hill, and was at
twcnty-seven chief Of the freight rate
department Of the entire Great North
Crn System.
A commerce expert in st. Paul,
where he had taken up the study Of
law during his spare time, he became
an outstanding figure in the famous
Missouri rate cases, obtaining cnorm-
Gus refunds for his clients when the
rights Of the states TO regulate freight
rates on interstate business was up
held.

Natural Feeding Best for Babies
By ROYAL S. COPELAND. MD.

there is such tendency / lament the
fact, because every baby brought into
the world has n right to be fed in the
way God intended.
| cannot close without saying that
sometimes the Over-willing mother
nurses her baby long after weaving
time has arrived. This is wrong, OF
course, because, as the age increases,
the child requires more food than
the mothers breast can supply.
The weight Of the infant is the best
proof Of its welfare. There must
be steady increase in weight or some
thing is wrong. The most likely trou-
bic, il the scales do not show regular
progress, is improper or insufficient
feeding.
II the mother is in ill-he0lth, or if
she Is unable TO provide herself with
the right food TO give her strength
and a full supply Of milk, then the
bottle must be substituted. But If
it is at all possible, the breast should
be given the child. There is less like
lihood Of stomach or intestinal dis
turbance and greater certainty Of pro-
grcssiye growth and vigOr.

'Life's Hurdles
By L. E. Bisch

Nowadays mental tests are employed
in many ways.
They are used to test the intelli-
gcnce OF individuals.
They are used to discover mental
defects.
They play a part in discovering the
presence of insanity.
Tests are also made use Of in grad
ing people in business efficiency.
Lastly. tests are used as a means
of vocational guidance, to determine
whether a person is best fitted to be-
come a typist, a plumber, an artist, or
whatever.
There are many, many kinds and
varieties Of tests.
Some consist Of a series Of ques-
tons that the subject to be tested
must answer and obtain a fair score
upon to be considered competent.
Others have to do with mechanical
performances, such as fitting irregu-
larry shaped pieces Of wood in frame,
putting a lock together, etc.
For many gears tests were used al
most exclusively for children, to de
termine school grading, the presence Of
feeble mindedness, etc. Lately the use
Of tests has spread to adults with
surprising rapidly.
But test to be valid must be a so
called standardized test"
This means that the test has al
ready been tried out experimcntally
upon thousands OF cases and that,
therefore. it has already been deter
mined what the average response or
score of the average individual is.
To correctly stnndardize even one
test is a long, labOrious and painstak-
ing task. 1t is, therefore, much easier
to invent new ones. And, therefore,
many untricd, unstandardizcd tests are
in use that have no real, absolute
value.
Only a scientifically standardized
test can be relied upon.
Furthermore, no one should judge
an individuals mental makeup or eff
ficicncy on tests alone.
All tests must be interpreted.
The human equation must always be
taken into account in making, tests.
An individual may be unusually
tired, perhaps, and accordingly he docs
not do as we'll on test as he would
after a good nights rest
But tests have valuable uses and
undoubtedly their usefulness will
spread.
Nowadays business organizations
who employ psychologists for testing
employees save thousands of dollars
annually. The firm profits because
unsuitable men are not employed
men who sooner or later would be dis.
charged any way. The employees profit
because at the outset they know which
kind Of work they are best fitted for
the work at which they can make
the most money.

charity.
To be really charitable as Christ
would have wished it of us, we should
give with our own hands, keep in
contact with the one who is receiving
from US. We should accompany each
gift with good words and listen pa,
tiently with our own ears to all the
tales of woe. We ought to sit be-
side the sick, we ought ourselves to
clothe the freezing little children so
ns to see both their JOY and their
pain.
The district visitor, the doctor, the
priest, the clergyman, the sister Of
charity-those are the ones who bring
help in Christs way. They give more

the small papers for fuel and food.

Dictatorship
BY DIR. Frank Crane.

General Primo de Rivera, dictator
of Spain, says within 20 years every
great ration, including America, eth
sr will be governed by a dictatorshi1
or will have fallen into anarchy.
"A Dictatorship" he said, sis the
only efficient method of governing.
A strong executive power, rapid and
energetic in carrying out its program,
is the only assurance of a govern
ment working well and smoothly"
At the outset in thinking about
the matter, it is well to recognize that
a dictatorship probably is more ef-
ficient than a democracy.
But efficiency is not the only, Or
even the main. consideration in gov
eminent.
A government may be efficient,
rapid and energetic and still be bad
if it does not give the highest oppOr-
tunity for development by the individ.
uals within the nation.
BY self-eIpression and participa.
ton in government are a people de-
veloped.
A dictatorship stands for sup
preston Of the minority.
A dictatorship and an autocracy
are but reserve sides Of the same Ps-
genital picture.
Both are based upon the same dis.
trust Of the people, upon the same
belief that government must be cen
tralized in one individual, that regu-
lstions must come down from above
rather than grow up from below, that
q people flourish better when directed
than when left free 10 direct itself.
A dictatorship is no more free from
dependence upon an individual than
is monarchy.
A republican president can die and
the government goes on unchanged. a
dictator dies and the nation is thrown
into even greater turmoil than occa.

monarch.
