MOTHERS PRIDE

TINE old folks, particularly the mothers, can
get quite bit of satisfaction out of the
report, just released at the convention of the
American Medical Association in Cleveland,
that the breast-fed baby has ten times more
chance for life than one brought up On arti-
fetal feeding; that it has so per cent greater
resistance TO all forms of disease.
Such satisfaction would lie in the knowl-
edge that here, at last, science recognizes a
fact that had been known to mothers long
before infant feeding was put on anything like
a scientific basis.
The report of the physicians was the re-
suit of survey among 10000 children in Chi
cago, from 1924 to 1929. Nearly so per cent of
these were breast-fed little more than 40
per cent were partially breast-fed and the rest
were on an entirely artificial diet.
1t was discovered, as the children became
subject to various types of illnesses, that the
proportion of those affected rose as their ten
dency toward artificial feeding went up. And
so did deaths among the infants.
And the report Of this interesting study
concludes:
Obviously, therefore, if we hope to decrease
1ll1dAAb IlUIId11Iy Vi ILLS
must be done by encouraging breast feeding"
What a glorious tribute to old-fashioned
motherhood! The motherhood that took it's
duties seriously and that paid its obligations to
infancy as nature intended it should!
There was a short time, during the last
decade or two when there seemed to be a fad
for artificial feeding; when young mothers
sought every which way to avoid the burdens
of breast feeding, at least partially; when to
feed child at the breast seemed to be sign
OF Victoriansm
Fortunately, however, this mode is passing
and the doctors are encouraging mothers to
recognize their natural relationship to their
children.
Artificial feeding, to be sure, will be neces-
sary in many cases where mothers are not in
position to furnish the necessary food for their
babies.
But, at any rate, it should be reserted to
only when the doctor prescribes it.

NO MATTER HOW HUMBLE

D OBERT JONES has been saved from
Az death on the gallows, and will get new
trial
You never heard of Robert JonesP He is
just an obscure Negro down in Mississippi.
He shot and killed police officer who tried
to enter Jones home while searching for the
source Of pistol shot
Now certain of our radical friends will tell
you that no southern Negro has ghost of a
chance in case like that He might escape
lynching but certainly would stand no chance
to escape prompt execution.
But the supreme court of Mississippi felt
otherwise. 1t found that the dead peace off,
Ger was beyond his rights in trying to enter
Jones' home without proper warrant. 1t
reversed the lower courts and ordered a new
trial for Robert Jones.
"The appellant was in his home, y the court
said, land no person or officer had right to
enter except in strict accordance with the law.
No matter how humble-a mans home is his
castle 49,"
Justice is not always the CHASTITY travesty
some of our critics like to make it. In many
cases it deals evenly and cleanly-eyen to the
most humble.

NEW BETHEL'S PLIGHT

LIVERY Marion county resident is interested
- in the plight of the residents of New
Bethel, where typhoid fever already has taken
one life and where the epidemic has resulted
in the illness of several other persons.
Marion countys interest however, should
not be confined to comment. It should as
sumo the proportions of a concerted campaign
to aid the community in driving out this cpl
demic and the possibility of another in the
years to come.
Tomorrow night, citizens of New Bethel
will meet to lay battle line against the dis
ease. The targets of their drive will be to
halt the present inroads of the epidemic and
correct the evil of the weed-covered ditch in
which the disease originated
DR., Oscar Ludwig, county health commits
sioner, has spent hours fighting the fever Now
it is up to the residents of New Bethel to aid
Dr. Ludwig.
The wisest policy which could be followed
by persons living in New Bethel is to call Dr.
Ludwig or his Office whenever it appears that
the disease may have found its way into their
homes or the homes of relatives. Dr. Ludwig
is tied in his efforts at cure or prevention if
he is not informed OF each case, because ty-
phoid fever. like every other disease, gathers
momentum with each new feothod
Although to some it may appear negligible
when patient becomes i'll and later RECEIVERS,
it is not a negligible factor in the control of
the illness. Medical science must be equipped
with the knowledge of a diseases presence to.
combat it.
So, while Marion county residents may aid
those in New Bethel in a general drive against
typhoid fever, it behooves those of New Bethel
to report every case and to cooperate fully
with county health authorities.

THE BOOTLEGGER'S FRIEND

nNE of the larger distillers recently re-
ported a net profit of $3214.3a8 for the
first three months of the year, equivalent to
$3.06 share on the companys SIS par value
stock, The bulk of these profits, it is under
stood, came from the sale at high prices of
rare bonded liquors bought at low prices
months before repeal.
Some will be inclined to curse the dis
tiller for his greed. and point out that his less
grasping competitor. the bootlegger, is Salts
fed with lower return, Certainly, 81 per
cent profit on a three months operation is
conclusive that the distiller has not been shar-
ing with his fellow-men the blessings of
repeal.
But the federal government, which naively
appealed to the distiller to cooperate in the
drive against the bootlegger at the same time
made it possible for this distiller to change
SIS into So in three months. The scarcity of
aged liquors exists only within our national
boundary. There is vast oversupply in the
warehouses of Canada, Mexico and Europe.
But it can't come in to drive down the prices
and profits of domestic distillers because our
government is protecting the infant" dis
tilling industry with tariff of SIS gallon
a tariff equal to ten times the cost Of pro-
duction.
Under the new reciprocity tariff law, the
President will be able to reduce the tariff to
$3.50 a gallon-only five times the cost of
production.

GOOD MEN AND TRUE
BOUQUETS are due several individual men,
~ bers of the departing congress.

BOUQUETS are due several individual men,
- bers of the departing congress.
The largest should go to Senator Fletcher
of Florida and Representative Rayburn of
, Texas, those two stanch conservatives who
proved radical enough to insist that honesty
and fair dealing should dwell in the securities
markets of the nation.
Against the most powerful and pernicious
lobby in recent history, Senator Fletcher kept
his sharply divided banking committee at
work on the stock market investigation and
uncovered the abuses that served as basis for
the market control legislation.
Representative Rayburn's brilliant han
ding of the stock market bill in the house
was the most remarkable performance of the
session.
The Fletcher Rayburn team won additional
laurels by frustrating efforts to emasculate
their truth-in-securities law one of the big
gest achievements of the preceding session.
1t is said that Rayburn aspires to the house
speakership. He has earned the promotion
Other bouquets should be awarded:
To Senator Wagner of New York for his
fight for the labor disputes bill, for unemploy-
uieIib 1IlSuIaLCe NWlGn Representative Lewis Oh
Maryland, and for the anti-lynching bill
with Senators Costigan and Van Nuys);
To Senators Nye, Bone and Vanderberg, for
forcing the senate inquiry into munitions
manufactures;
TO Senator Norris of Nebraska and Repre-
sentative Rankin of Mississippi for securing
passage of resolution providing for nation
wide study of electric power rates, and also to
Senator Norris for his bold, but unsuccessful
fight to outlaw patronage politics in the Home
Owners Loan Corporation;
To Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin for
boosting surtaxeS on larger incomes and larger
inheritances;
To Senator CouzenS of Michigan for able
assistance to Senator La Toilette in this drive;
To Senator Black of Alabama for uncover
ing government waste and favoritism in ocean
mail and air mail subsidies;
To Senator Johnson of California and Rep
resentative Summers of Texas for passing the
bill which prevents public utilities from escap-
ing rate reductions by dilatory pleas in fed
eral courts
To Senate Minority Leader McNary for
efforts to minimize G. o. P partisanship
There was other good work by other men,
to be sure, but the performances here listed
come to mind without even perusing the SEN
ators record.

same story, under different headlines, ap-
peared in the other Indianapolis papers.
Reading through the stories, the reader
finds that eight deaths from drowning have oc-
CURED in the county since Jan. l and that
the last of the victims is a 4-year-old child
whose body was found Sunday on the bed of
White river at Mcclure beach.
Certainly majority of these drownings
could have been prevented At least they could
have been if the victims had been taught to
stay away from water or not attempt to swim
or wade in depths beyond their control
Now is the time to correct the drowning

of its beaches and pools to make sure that the
citys protective force is in complete control

Sees Indifference to Typhoid Menace

BY New Bethel Citizen.
want to congratulate The
Times on it's interest in the new
epidemic of typhoid lever at New
Bethel.
I say new" because this is not
the first one we have experienced.
Each year for several years few
cases have been reported. The
sentiment of the majority of
citizens here is, of course, to CO.
operate with physicians and
health authorities and to follow
their advice in combating the
disease.
But since the death of Ralph
Leonard, young man who was
loved and respected in this COM
munity, I am moved to voice
criticism of certain of my fellow
townsfolk.
There is, unfortunately, an ap-
parent lassitude on the part of
some persons who seem unwilling

FARLEY FORGOT

TITO keep the record clear, it is noted that
u the Honorable James A. Farley, part
time postmaster-genera and part-time DEM
ocratic national chairman, allowed congress to
adjourn without presenting to it the promised
bill to place postmasterships under tie civil
service.
More than eleven months ago, President
Roosevelt directed Mr.. Farley to prepare such
a bill "in order that I may submit it to the
next session of congress" That next session"
is now over.

welt permits cabinet member to disobey
orders.

to do their bit in helping to stem
the tide of this epidemic.
incubation against typhoid is
such simple process, yet there
seems to be great reluctance in
taking this precaution. think all
of us should accept our RESPONSE
bility to the community in this re-
spect.
Some apparently take the atti-
tude that they will not contract
the disease and therefore are I'M
willing to be inoculated. Optimism
is a fine thing, but here think it
badly misplaced.
Wholehearted cooperation is
the only way to stop this epidemic.
The county authorities have Of
fered to give free inoculations to
those unable to pay. Therefore,
there is no excuse for any one no
subjecting himself to this simple
and necessary precaution.
