this is true, at least for the period

Thus two California physicians
compared the rates of growth of
breast-fed babies with those ar

artifcially fed infant had greater
rate of gain after the first three

It should be pointed out that all
conditions favorable to artificial
feeding were available, including
the provision of a reliable, pure
milk, an even climate, regular
medical supervision, and the routine
giving Of cod liver oil, orange juice,

also were given regular exposures of

HEALTH
Mothers Milk Held Best for Baby

BY DR.. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal of the American Medical
Association and of Hygeia. the Health
Magazine.
MOST authorities in diseases OF
I'VE children are convinced that
the best possible food for the in
FAINT is its mothers milk, particu-
larly during the early years of life.
The problems of modern civiliza-
ton, the increased responsibilities
of women in public life, have caused
more resentment against this task
of the mother than formerly was
the case.
Most specialists in infant feeding
have come to believe that it is pos
sible to feed a baby artificially and
to produce just about as healthful
a child as can be produced by breast
feeding.
1t seems likely from recent in
vestigation of the subject that

JOFFRE AT ST. LOUIS
May 6

May
NN May 6, 1917, the French good
" will delegates to the United
states were acclaimed in st. Louis
after an enthusiastic reception in
Chicago.
More than 10000 persons crowded
into the Coliseum in st. Louis to
welcome the visitors, and as many
more stood outside-unable to ob-
tain admission.
From St. Louis the commission
proceeded to Kansas City, where
they we're received with great en-
thusiasm. They returned to the
east stopping of at Springfield, Ill,
where Marshal Joffre placed a
wreath on Llncoln's tomb.
At Philadelphia the French
guests we're royalty entertained.
Visiting Independence hall, General
Joffre was presented marshaPs

the independence hall rafters. At
this same hall ex-Premier Viviari
said:
1--WE do not feel in America as
if we we're far from home. The
ideals and aims Of America and of
France are the same.
1T was in this holy place that

mouths Of men for the inspiration
of every nation"

Isn't that right in line with true
education? The American student
surely is quite as able to distinguish
between deliberate propaganda and
disinterested social prophecy as any
one.
Why fear any presentation Of
various social ideals to a college
student body, though they differ
somewhat from ones own pet
theories? Can it be only because
these individuals are such an in
tegral part Of the present order Of
things, corrupt or otherwise, that
they have no other choice? Further
more, it seems altogether zoo unjust
for De Paw university to carry the
brunt of malicious probing alone
when the speakers criticised have
also lectured in schools all over the
country for number Of years.

Upton Wins at Last

TT has taken Sir Thomas Upton
L three times as long to get into
the Royal Yacht squadron as Ke-
nal required to make over Turkey,
and Sir Thomas is not so slow.
Breaking down British tradition,
however, makes such venerable in
situations as the fez or polygamy
look like 80 cents.
Sir Thomas once had run a gro
Gerry store, which was contrary to
all rules for membership in the
Royal Yacht squadron. The late
King Edward felt quite sure he
could get Sir Thomas by in spite of
this handicap, but put it off too
long.
After his death, no one could be
found with sufficient pull or cour-
age to make the attempt.
With a labor government in pow
er, however, and with Sir Thomas
approaching 81, the boys seem to
have decided it would be all right to
make an exception in his case.

He Built Things

A S a boy, Miller liked to build
L A things. He liked to tinker
With saw and hammer and chisel
He liked particularly to expert
ment with electrical apparatus.
IN these respects he differed lit
tie from the other boys of his home
town. But in one way he did differ.
He never lost interest in ANYTHING
he started to build.
He stuck to it until 1t was fin
lshed and worked. Once he started
to build little telegraph line. as
many boys have done. He stuck to
1t until the line was finished and
messages could be sent over it.
Miller was born in Berea, o. His
father kept store there. He of
tered to put young DAYTON into
business, but the boy had developed
a love for science and his father
wisely let him follow it.
The time and care he has nut
upon his ether-drift experiments in
recent years demonstrate that he
still has the habit of sticking to
things.
His hobby today still is the flute
His collection of flutes is one of
the finest in the world. It numbers
about 1000 instruments. Among
them is one which belonged to
President James Madison.
Miller does a great deal Of tray
cling and rarely returns from a
european trip without a number
OF new flutes for his collection.
He has picked them I'D in the
music shops Of all the capitals of
Europe. His collection also in
cludes instruments from China
Japan and the islands of the
Pacific.

Editor Tfmes-From the time Of

merous Presidents and legislators
have enacted many laws endeavor-
ing to preserve the sacredness of
the original principles upon which
our government was founded.
Through all of these trials it ap-
pears, in my judgment, that instead
Of us prof1ting from the experiences
Of the growth Of Europe, and avoid
ing their errors, which are the fun
damentals upon which George
Washington encouraged and con-
stituted our original laws, these sa-
cred principles are being abused
continuously, and i appears that
we are falling in line with capital

For example, our chain finance
institutions, our continuous merging
Of corporations. These policies
only have created economy in the

Of others. It has caused unemploy-

An Honest Man

Rarely have We read address so surprising in
its frankness as that of Melvin A. Traylor Chicago
banker, before the international Chamber of Com
merce convention No Communist could bring a
worse indictment against the financial and political
leaders of the country.
Traylor charged that in 1927 the responsible bank
ers and government officials knew that the specula-
ton orgy, unless checked would lead to the crash
of 1929 and yet remained silent
Few warnings were issued and few attempts we're
made to attract public attention to the danger that
threatened.
"Wes have not failed because of Ignorance of eco
nomic theories, but because of our utter disregard
and defiance of all economic laws.
Ambition, stupidity and greed have dictated poll
cies and trouble has been the result"
No truer word has been spoken of the cause OF
this depression.
Those bankers and business leaders and Washing
ton officials, who the danger signal and ran the
country full speed ahead to the wreck Of 1890,
have lot to answer for
To Melvin A Traylor, for the honesty and cour-
age OF this confession which duplicates so many of
US, the country is indebted greatly.

Part of Home Work

T SELDOM answer, because I would
4 much prefer to have people guess.
And besides, it embarrasses me to
find that even in single literary
effort I have become part of any
body's required reading.
That is a disturbing situation 1t
makes me feel a little bit like
Shakespeare and like Milton. I don't
want to have to take on any of the
bitter emnity which is visited against
all authors who get themselves into
curriculum.
However, I probably exaggerate
the danger. This dragon, like most
others, will cease to wriggle when
the sun sets. And I shall be spared
the utter damnation Of ever going
into footnotes.

an author gets one foot in the notes
he already has both feet in the
