HOT WEATHER ADVICE TO
MOTHERS OF RARTES

Every baby must be given the best
OF food. Until ii Is old enough to
take solid food, mothers milk Oh
cows milk properly modified is all
the child should have except a little
orange juice or tomato juice every
dav.
The fortunate baby Is the one fed
by the mother. If she is well enough
and has a sufficient supply Of milk
that Is the ideal way.
Unfortunately breast feeding X
not possible in every case. In that
event the mother must find a
source of supply for hish-grade
cows milk. You must take no
chance about this. 1t Is absolutely
necessary to be sure that the milk
comes from a healthy COW ana IS
properly handled before it comes
into the mothers hand.
In the. preparation Of the cows
milk for the use Of the baby. there
are certain details which must be
observed. Your doctor or the dis
trict nurse will explain these to you.
Let me point out that clean
illness Of milk. cleanliness Of the
hands that handle 1t, and cleanli-
ness of the utensils used IN its modi-
fication. are essential to the health
and life of the baby.

of the fleecy staple are unorganized.
If the cotton growers Of the South organize them

the acreage planted but to fix the price OF their PROD

There are millions of tenant farmers, white and
black and brown, in the old slave states and the COM
monvealths of the southwest. They are landlesS and
a Iandless man in the country is q homeless man.
They are victims of the credit system. A majority
never break away from the ruts. They farm as their
grandfathers farmed. California fruit growers are
cooperatives. They are prosperous. They market
their own goods.
Growers Of hurley tobacco are cooperatives. They
are prosperous. They have their own warehouses.
They have their own selling agent. A few years ago
tobacco growers were helpless.
They were at the mercy Of the tobacco kings. They
were unorganized. They were victims of the credit
system. Dairymen of the west and the northwest are
cooperatives. They are the masters Of their own in
dustry. They have their selling agents. They fix
the prices. They move along scientific selling lines.
Some day the southern cotton grower may get the
idea. Then he will bow to the cooperative plan Of
doing business and have a choice in fixing the price
of the basic staple of a vast territory.

at Billie Langenau, that she was

There were two other girls in the

plain serge dress and low-heeled

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, NJ. ID.
Former Commissioners of Health

Not long ago I told you about the
dangers which result from the abb
sorption of body poisons. Why is it
we overlook the Importance Of this
subject?
have no doubt that constipation
is a far greater factor in disease
production than is generally be-
lieved. 1t stands to reason that the
presence inthe body Of a ferment-
ing mass, must give rise to unpleas-
ant symptoms.
Fortunately. the lining membrane
of the lower bowel. the colon. is SO
constructed that absorption through
its tissues is not great. But, in spite
of this protective measure. happly
provided by far-seeing Nature, there
is sone invasion of the body by this
route.
Not only is there direct absorption.
but bacteria or germs find in the
content of the colon just exactly the
proper conditions for rapid growth.
Ultimately these agents, possibly of
disease, are taken up by the blood.
Once more we have occasion to be
grateful to the Master Creator. Pro-
vision has been made to filter out of
the blood these poisons, whether
they be chemical or bacterial.
But If their quantity and number
are too great, the poor, overWorked
liver cannot handle them. Then
they get into the general blood
stream and are carried to every part
Of the body.
Just what will happen then de-
of the individual. We are confident
however, that rheumatism. heart
disease and various of the so-called
'degenerative diseases" may be
traced to the evil elects Of chronic
constipation.
It is unwise to regard constipation
as an unimportant condition. 1t is
certainly as much a mistake to neg
lect the intestines as it is to neg
lect the teeth. Neither should be
done.
Almost invariably constipation is
the direct effect of wrong eating. a
proper selection of foods will be
likely to benefit any case.
OF course there are other factors.
The walls of the intestineS are large
ly muscular. These muscles are
just as dependent on right living as
are your other muscles.
Nobody need be told the impor-
lance of exercise, sunlight and the
out-of-door life as being capable of
benefiUing the general muscular sys-
tenn. They are just as important to
the welfare Of the intestinal
muscles.
Think over what I have said to-
day. Perhaps you, too. are among
those n~eglecting the intestinal tract.

Most Wonderful Books On Earth

Il oablegram from Rome records the fact that del
egates to the World Congress Of Librarians, including
many of the leading librarians of the United States
saw some of the most wonderful books on earth when
they visited the monastery founded by st. Benedict
just 1400 years ago.
During the dark middle ages when barbarianS
were sacking libraries intent on burning them, the
Benedictine monk Montecassino patiently copied I'M
mortal works and thus preserved for the day price
less books that would otherwise have been lost for
ever.
In the list is the Oldest grammar in history pre-
served intact. MontecaSsno kept unframed the only
original copy. Upon this all grammars, down to the
English grammar taught in American schools, have
in part been based. Another preserved is the oldest
text OF a decree by Gratian, famous codifier Of laws

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
Mercury keeps SO close to the sun
that very few people ever have seen
it. When at its greatest elongation
east Of the sun, it is evening star;
west Of the sun, it is morning star.
When in most favorable position to
be observed along either eastern or
western horizon, it is apt to be OBJ
struceted from view by mists and
clouds that are always more prevail
ent in those localities. Even with
clear sky Mercury may be seen for
but a brief time at any one obser-?

period Of rotation around the sun
is 80 days.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUHfMER

WASHINGTON, July 30-More than 100 years
ago the French architect Latrobe visited America and
c~heerfully wrote back to a friend:
America is like Poland, for everybody in Poland
has a title"
If the number of titles then we're numerous enough
to cause comment, one can't but wonder what would
be his reaction should be visit America today and
spend some of his time in Washington.
For the capital city of these United States is the
one place where the title business flourishes. Every
one who pretends to have standing or is conceded
standing loses no time in making connection with
one.
And always he is something Of title and is re-
ferred to with the title.
There have been many curious outgrowths as a
result of this. Perhaps the principal and most inter
esting on els the exceeding awkwardness of express
sion.
For instance, Mr." has practically vanished when
one refers to a high official of this or a foreign gov
eminent resident in Washington. But Mrs" re-
mains. When a husband accompanies his wife to a
dinner or some other formal function, unless the
reader be familiar with names, he has no way of
telling whether the titled one was with his wife or
with some other person.
~%s
D%IssOCIATION
There is absolutely nothing to associate coupled
names as husbands and wives. Illustrations are to be
found daily in the newspapers. To quote at random:
The British ambassador and Lady Howard are to
make their home at Langley Park for six weeks this
ummer."
"The chief justice and Mrs. Taft have gone to
Murray Bay, Canada, where they have their summer
home"
The secretary of state and Mrs. Stimson enter
tanned at dinner last evening"
In these three examples the use of titles is not
particularly misleading. Almost everyone knows that
Sir Esme Howard is British ambassador, that Will
liam Howard Taft is chief justice, and that Henry L.
Stimson is secretary Of state.
INDEFINITE
But, to quote further:
The minister Of Czecho- Slovakia and Mime. We
verka have taken a cottage at Arundel Park"
THE naval attache of the Italian embassy and
Signora Lais will sail for Italy August l."
The minister Of the Netherlands and Madame
Van Royen have closed the legation and sailed for
Europe"
There is a mere handful of people who know the
full name of the minister of the Netherlands and even
fewer who know who the naval attache of the Italian
embassy is.
AS a result there is a certain awkwardnesS in ex-
preston that could be avoided. One can understand
why the French refer to high and low alike as merely
"Citoyen' and Cheyenne"
Perhaps the advent of women into high official po-
sitions will bring about a reform.
1t is hard to believe that newspapers would be per-
mitted long to report that:
"C-ongresswoman and Mr.. Smith left yesterday for
New York"

COOLIDGES ENJOY
QUIET SABBATH DAY
Former President and Wife Attend
Church and Pass Typical New
England Sunday Afternoon.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, March IL.
Calvin Coolidge's first Sunday at
home was just like any other New Eng
landers Sunday Church services in
the morning and drowsy afternoon
at home with the newspapers COM
prised about all that could be learned
of the days program at 81 Massasoit
street.
Mr.. and Mrs Coolidge attended serv-
ices in the Edwards Congregational
Church. 1t was the first time the for
mer President had passed through its
portals since July. 1924. when, grief
laden, he attended funeral service
for his little son. Calvin Coolidge, jr.
Perhaps the recollection may have been
responsible for an added somberness
yesterday.
The Coolidges were driven to church
In hired automobile. A small group
had gathered outside to see them enter
and among these were friends to whom
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge smiled greetings.
Rev James N. Armstrong, the pastor,
had chosen as a title for his sermon
one that seemed peculiarly adaptable.
1t was THE Appeal of Religion to the
Cautious and Contemplative."
After services the Coolidges tarried
for few minutes outside to shake
hands with friends. Among these were
Harry E. Bicknell. former Democratic
mayor Of Northampton, and Fred Flagg,
a letter carrier They declined to pose
for photographers and walked home.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 11.-Tak-
ing the witness stand for the fourth day,
Gov. Henry S. Johnston, on trial before
the Senate court of impeachment, to-
day defended the record of the Okla
homa Highway Department.
i. Activities of Reed Scott, road ma
chinery salesman and a brother of Mrs.
0. Q. Hammonds, who was the govern
ors confidential secretary, entered into
the testimony. Johnston said he learned
on one occasion Of the changing of a
requisition to provide for the purchase

Commission" the governor testified,
and told members that any special IA
vor to Mrs Hamnonds' brother would
not be tolerated. I insisted that the

should be purchased"
The governor, suspended from Office
pending the outcome of his trial, testi-
fled that while he tried TO keep track
OF the operations of the five-man high
way commission which followed him
into office he did not seek to dominate
the commissions actions.
Questioned by his own counsel, Gov.
Johnston said he knew nothing of the
existence of the big four" name

paving contractors who obtained a large
share Of State highway contracts. He
declared that he had made no efforts
to influence the highway commission
TO let contracts to any particular con-
tractor. He explained, however, that

attempt to prevent letting to con-
tractor he believed to be "a habitual

Government Unable to Re-
cover Under Ruling by
Supreme Court.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government will be unable to
recover approximately $50000,O00 under
Supreme Court decision today
fixing the time when increased pay
granted the railroads by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for carrying the
mails shall begin.
The highest court held the increase
must take effect from the date the
railroads filed their applications for
increased pay.
Upon the application of the New York
Central and other railroads the In
terstate Commerce Commission granted
an increase in rates to the railroads
for carrying the mails. After the Gov
eminent had paid the increase to a
number of roads, dating it from the
filing of the applications for increase,
the controller general ruled that it
should only have dated from the is
suance of the commissions order.
Under this ruling the Government
sought W IcCOFSI approximately @1o'-
100000 which had been paid out cover
ing the period between the filing OF
the applications and the issuance of the
order, and sought to retain approx
mately 10000 more which was due
railroads provided the increase dated
from the filing of the applications.
The New York Central and other
railroads contesting the ruling of the
controller general won in the Court
of Claims, and the Government appeal
ed to the Supreme Court.
