nv WIILTAM BRADY, N. D,

If 0 baby fails to gain at least four ounces Q week, Q pound Q month, the baby is underfed,
 One of the most familiar, and n a way unfortunate symptoms of un- tlerfeedlng Is constipation. say this is unfortunate because the av- cage mothers almost uncontrolla- ble impulse is to blame the poor in- fant's unhappineSs on the constipa- ton and on the basis to begin giv- ing the baby physic enemas or worse treatment, Yeah, father too the average father, if Q graduate Of high school or college, Is as ig- norant of the care and feeding of infants as the average mother is, We Yankees take pride ln this kind of ipnoranee-we Haunt 1t and try to make 1t seem funny,
 Now the sensible thing to do Vnen the baby fails to gain weight, cries constantly and-if the nelgle horhood Saireygamp gets a crack at the case, suffers from "colic"- that, folks, is cruelty to any baby the sensible remedy for the baby's trouble is food,
 It Is as simple as simple can be, Toss the formula out of the win- uow and give the baby food, milk, soup, gruel, fruit juice, pureed veg etables, ripe banana, soft boiled egg,
 Don't dilute the milk or mix any thing with 1t after the baby has reached the age of six months, By then any baby should take milk straight and cereal gruel with some soft boiled egg or some clear meat broth or some cooked mashed or pmeed vegetable or some tomato juice tfresh or factory cannedD or orange juice on the side,
 It may be advisable to give any or all of these foods to the under- fed, underweight, unhappy baby even before the sixth month-but only one at a time, and only & spoonful or less of 1t the first few days, gradually more If the baby seems to like 1t,
 Excessive crying does not neces- Sarily indicate that the baby Is un- oerfed. Often it means that the oaby is kept uncomfortable by eX- cessive clothing or covers and by the physic, enema or other unna- tural treatment to which the baby is subjected. We are here consid- ering the underfed baby-and you can't gain weight week by week il you are underfed
 Sometimes an underGed baby i' good, that is, doesn't cry at all but instead is listless, apathetic ano quiet most of the time. If the baby doesn't whoop it up to beat the band at least once a day, it is prob- ably because there is something the matter and the baby should have the benefit of medical attention.

conferees okayed a $5,575,000 ex- penditure for the construction of a new federal building in Senator McKellar's home state to replace the old customs house at Nash vile. McKella- contended that the structure was also needed to pro- vide a regional headquarters for the Veterans Administration, but several congressman suspect this is only window dressing.
 Congressman John Taber of New York, ranking Republican Of the House Appropriations Committee, ie one of them He described the McKellar project as absolutely un- necessary
 There is no more reason for a building at this point than there is at a thousand other places in the United States" Taber declared.
 What we ought to do is put an embargo on buildings of this sort il order that the construction of dwellings and apartment houses may go forward for people without housing" Another member of the House Committee was. even more explicit T ike my pork cooked, /" he declared, mot raw"

NEW SECRETARY

President Truman's nomination of 38-year-old Julius Albert Krug power expert and business osun- selor as Secretary of the Interior yesterday as surprise to the political dopesters Of the many names suggested as potential successors to Ickes Krugs was lacking It was mentioned once by Drew Pearson who conducts the column Washington Merry Go-Round in The Empire.
 While little is known about the new secretary or what his policies may be, Aaskans can be pretty sure that he can't be any worse than Ickes and there's a good chance that it may be good deal better
 At any rate we feel that Krug's nomination Will mean radical change the department and a thor ough housecleaning If the President had wished to continue the policies established by Ickes he could have elevated Under-Secreary Oscar Chapman to the post as suggested by Governor of Alaska Ernest Henry Gruening and Delegate Bartlett for reasons which are not clear to us
 While most Alaskans. and westerners had hoped that man from the West would get the seat never theess the riddance of ckes shows much accomplished
 Krug has hlazed prominent trail in public service for his 38 years of life.
 Graduated from the University of Wisconsin Ill 1929 he later received his Masters Degree and became employed as research statistcian for the Wisconsin Telephone Company. Soon after he was employed

once again it's Wednesday = and time for another square dance at the USO Club. And, of course, as usual, all interested civilian friends are invited to be present with the servicemen when the first square is called up promptly at 9:30 o'clock.
 Last Wednesday nights session was one of the most enjoyable af- fairs held in many months. Very well attended, it also found all the participants in fine spirits; and it marked the highly promising debut of a new caller and general master of ceremonies in the genial person of Max Lewis. Elected to the posi- ton by general acclaim, Max did a fine job of it and proved himself a thoroughly capable leader.
 It is anticipated that another large and enthusiastic crowd will be on hand tonight.

FORK IND CHILDREN

When Henry Wallace stated that tile school children of Washington, D. C., were worse fed than the hogs of Iowa. he probably didn't know about an unpublished pork barrel maneuyer which took place at the last session of Congress, by which school lunches were put to one side in favor of new federal building in Nashville, Tenn.
 The school lunch program was for the benefit of undernourished children throughout the country, rot merely the district of Columbia. And while Congress chopped this fund in two. t approved juicy pork barrel i5om for-guess who Senator McKellar of Tennessee, whose word is powerful as chair man of the Appropriations Com rlittee.
 The Department of Agriculture, which has charge of the program, needed an additional S15,000,000 to continue school lunches. through June 2, 1946. But, in a joint con- ference of appropriations commit tee members of the two houses, Senator McKellar, together with Representatives Clarence Cannon of Missouri and other economy champions, pruned the s15,000 GOO to $7,500,000.

INCREASED MEAT PRICES?

Some people are wondering whe- ther the Fact Finding Board for the meat packing industry took the trouble to read the newspapers. If 90, they might not have recom- nended that the housewife bear the main burden of the cost of in- creased wages ln the meat packing industry.
 The Fact Finding Board which included Dr. Edwin E. Witte of Wisconsin University, Chief Jus tice Raymond w. Starr of the Michigan Supreme Court, and Clark Kerr, former Chairman of the meat packing branch of the War Labor Board-three able men decided that l6-cent pay in- crease was far and equitable for meat packing workers. But they added that only cents of this was ''absorbable oy the meat industry without price or subsidy relief" 1 In other words, the fact finders recommended that the big meat packers could pay only cents of the l6-cent wage increase out of their cwn pockets. The rest would have to be passed on the consumer or the government Their report was filed February ?.
 However, eally in December, long before the Fact Finding Board was appointed, a number of smaller meat packing plants had already signed contracts with the CIO and AFL for IS cents an hour pay in- crease without any strings attached regarding increased meat prices.
 The small packers who signed such agreements included Hygrade Food Products of New York, George A. Hormel of Austin, Minn., and others in the Chicago area.
 Apparently, the fact finders did not take this into consideration Apparently also. they ignored the fact that Swift and Company pre- viously had agreed to a pay. boost oi 10 cents an hour without any strings attached regarding increas- ed meat prices to the housewife.
 For, despite Swift's offer of lC

Fleet Organization
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The annual report of Secretary of the Navy For restal envsons the establishment by next fall of two Unied States fleets comprising 3l9 fighting ships and 3627 planes ready for instant action.
 The proposal recommends itself. To suit our post war protection needs immediate availability must be prime consideration tremendous aggregation of assorted vessels be much protection they are not organized for instant action. On sea as well as on land immediate striking is of decisive influ- ence This has always been true, and we may assume it will be truer than in the of atomic bombs and long range robot missiles
 We agree with Forrestal that our naval strength should be kept in realistic relation to commitments Fleets are assembled and mobilzed even more slowly than armies This means must retain the bulk Of our naval strength until world conditions permit or justify true disarmament of all nations, and we must arrange for it's effective wherever and whenever needed The reader are the less occasion there is likely to be for it's
 Secretary Forrestas plan calls for an Atlantic fleet of 143 warshps and Pacific fleet of l76 combat vessels These would be operating or active basis and they would be reinforced by fleets on a standby or ready reserve basis This arrangement would permit the use of immediate striking force and speedy reinforcement It seems to fit well the pattern of continuing national preparedness.
