Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELANC, wi. I'D.
Former Commissioner Of Health

We are in the season when little
babies must have the closest of at

for all us huskies. but 1t is terrible
indeed for the frail infant.
Let me say to the dear mother:
You must take the best of are

health. poise and get rest enough
TO restore your strength and vigor.
Each day Is enc OF trial. and hard
indeed even If you are perfectly
well.
If you get too little sleep and
lose your appetite. the baby Is in
fluenced almost at once. The child
becomes restless and irritable. 1t
won't be long before the poor little
thing loses its normal eagerness for
food. Then comes diarrhoea and
vomiting.
1t is to be hoped your child can
continue breast feeding all through
the hot season. If there is enough
for that purpose, !. Is a lucky baby
indeed.
There Is no real substitute for
mothers milk. The scientists are
making progress IN arranging arti-
ficial feelings. but in many things
Il Is impossible TO improve on Ma
ture. In the matter OF baby feed
ing, certainly. nothing is equal to
breast feeding. provided the mother
Is perfectly normal.

In contrast to this Is the pure
and uncontaminated mothers milk.
There Is little danger or infections
from that fluid.
OF course. poisons and illness can
be carried TO the infant IL the
mother Is out OF health. But IL the
mother Is normal the milk carries

Keep in touch with your family

arc bad for her and for the baby.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, June 28-The theatrical stock
company that was such a favorite Of Mrs. Calvin
Coolidge when she was mistress of the White House,
has succumbed to the doldrums.
For five seasons. the National Players have fur
nished washington the only stage performances dur
ing the summer months. People Of all stations flock
ed to the theater on Z street. The company boosted
Of being one Of the most successful in the United
States.
But after July / the doors Of the National will be
darkened. Not until autumn will it reopen. Then
it viii not be stock. but revues and plays booked from
New York.
The management blames strife with stage hands
and musicians for closing.
Mrs. Coolidge was one Of the most enthusiastic
patrons Of the National during stock. Every week she
was in town. she attended the Wednesday matinee.
NO BOX FOR HER
She had three reserved seats in the seventh row
Of the orchestra. A box was offered her by the man
ager, Steve Cochran. but it was declined. She pre-
ferred to sit with the hundreds OF other women.
Cochran says that the Wednesday matinee at the
National was the most colorful performance of the
week. The theater always was crowded to its capaci-
ty on account Of Mrs. Coolidge's presence. Women
would await the then first lady's arrival outside the
theater. Her appearance was the signal for much APP
plause.
The company would hold a little reception at the
conclusion Of the Wednesday matinee in honor Of
Mrs. Coolidge. She never failed to remain until it was
over. The actors and actresses would make short
speeches. Mrs. Coolidge a~pplauded them enthusiast
ically.
Nor was Mrs. Coolidge the only person high in the
official life OF Washington to attend the National
during the stock season.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson came regularly every Thurs
day night and occupied a seat in the orchestra.

Attractions At Theatres
THE DESERT BRIDE IS THRILLING FILM

The Desert Bride" the Colum- bia production at the Coliseum to- night, is a colorful drama of the Near. East with thrilling sequenc- es in Arabian palaces, bazaars and market places. The glamorous life of a Mohammedan city. with it's subtle undercurrents, is faithfully portrayed upon the screen. Betty Compson has a powerful dramatic role amid the sandstorms of the desert, the intrigue and rebellions of Arabs. She is called upon to exert every ounce of her histrionic ability. Miss Compson is capably supported by Allan Forrest, who does some excellent work in the role of a French secret service agent. Otto Matiesen is cast as the suave Arabian, who poses as friend to the French while he secretly foments the natives into rebellion.
 There are tense sequences requir- ing massive sets and hundreds of extra players, as castles are storm ed. beautiful girl sold in the mar ket place and thrilling rescues are staged. The sandstorm on the desert is particularly well done.

Long Rail Hours Are Blamed for

 The association is seeking read justment of railroad schedules to find employment for jobless rail- road workers in the United States
 The 50,000 could be put back if the railroad mans month is made as short as that in other industries, Robertson believes.

 Temper Blamed For Most Crime

ATLANTA, Ga, .s.y 20.-Whis- key anc. pad tempers cause much of Americas crime. says James L. Beavers, Atlanta's Police Chief who presided over the recent conven ton here of the International As sociation of Police Chiefs.
 "Of course, many of our crim- inals are made in the home" the Chief said Parental neglect of the child is one of the greatest police problems of the day. Training of children doubtless has more to do with the making of good or bad citizens than any other one thing.
 Persons under influence of liquor or a bad temper are most likely to commit crime, he says. Any person who acts or talks while in rage likely will live to regret it."

MOMENTS CLUBS REPORT ON THE
 YEARS WORK
Mrs. De I'm a n, Publicity Chairman American Fed eration w O m en
 Clubs, Tells Story

SKAGWAY. July 15.-Another year has passed, and again the Alaska Federation of Women's clubs closes it's seasons activities, to re- open in the fall.
 The Federation now consists of nine clubs-the Women's clubs of Anchorage, Juneau, Douglas, Ko- diak, Seward, and Skagway; the | Women's Civic clubs of Wrangell and Ketchikan, and the Business and Professional Women's club of Juneau.
 The officers of the Federation are: Director, Mrs. Harry Cribb of Anchorage; President, Mrs. H. S Albert, of Kodiak; Secretary, Mrs. 0. M. Haverson of Kodiak; Treas urer, Mrs. w. c. Erwin, of Seward; ; Custodian, Mrs. Louise Norton, of Juneau.
 There has been no one outstand- ing Federation project during this past year. Probably the greatest good that has been accomplished for the clubs, and for the Alaska towns, was the passing by the last Legislature, of the Library Bill, which provides financial aid from the Territory for libraries in small towns. This bill was originated and sponsored by the Skagw Womens Club Several of the clubs in the Federation have es- tablished and maintained wholly or in part, the libraries in their towns, and it is to be hoped that they will avail themselves of the aid so generously provided for by this Act.
 The Women's Civic Club of Ret chikan is one of the youngest clubs in the Federation, having joined this last year, and it is also one of the most active. They have carried on a splendid work, estab- fishing comfort stations near the beaches, and on the Deer Mountain Trail, containing tables and chairs for the use of hikers. Over four hundred dollars was spent on this work. They also established a community Christmas tree, and got out and distributed information cards for tourists. The Club is now interesting itself in the project of l tennis courts at the canneries. They have, throughout the winter, been conducting series of monthly lunches that have been a great suc- cess.
 The Kodiak Clubs work has been largely charitable, it having been sponsor for professional calls on the poor by the local doctor, supplied needy families with cloth ing and bought books for the li- brary. This club is very small. and it's members widely scattered, and it's activities are marvellous. considering the difficulties under which they work.
 The Women's Civic Club of i Wrangell has been devoting most of it's energies and activities to maintaining the Public Library. They also gave series of dances for the benefit of the hospital, which were highly successful.
 During the spring the noted com- poser, Charles Wakefield Cadman, visited Alaska, and gave a concert in Juneau under the auspices of the Woman's Club.
