About Babies
One trouble with us Americana is we have the big-head.
We think we lead in everything and the rest of the world
just trails.
We even think the others are poor trailers.
Take the question of babies, for example.'
It’s more than an even bet than nine out of ten of us
would give it as our natural, off-hand opinion, that we lead
the world in the care of babies.
Yet the fact is we are Tenth.
New Zealand, that little island way off yonder in the
South Pacific, is far ahead of us. So is Norway, a land which
reaches up into the Arctic snows.
The latest figures, applying to the mortality of infants
under 1 year, have been gathered by the Children’s Bureau.
Deaths were:
New Zealand, forty-eight per one thousand births.
Australia, fifty-eight per one thousand births.
Nrway, sixty per one thousand births.
Denmark, seventy-five per one thousand births.
Switzerland, eighty per one thousand births.
Ireland, eighty-six per one thousand births.
Netherlands, ninety-two per one thousands births.
England and Wales ninety-eight per one thousand births.
United States one hundred per one thousand births.
Still there was all sorts of opposition in Congress while
the bill to protect babies was going through.

The Press Washington Bureau, in response tb re-
quests from the boys and girls of Fort Worth, has pre-
pared a dandy four page summary of the President’s
cabinet and the executive departments at Washington,
their work and duties.
It tells all about the cabinet, when it meets, how it
helps the President, the law of succession of cabinet
officers to the presidency in case of the President’s
death, and what work each department of the govern-
ment and the various bureaus do for the people of the
country.
This information will give you a knowledge of the
government at Washington that is right up to the min-
ute and taken from official sources.
Any boy or girl (or grownup, too) who wants this
information may have it by filling out carefully the cou-
pon below and sending it to the address given, with a

“Let’s see,” says Congressman Bunkemail, “The junking
of the big battleships will save the government $200,000,000.
I ought to get an appropriation for my district out of that;
and it would cost the government nothing.”
“Let me see,” says Congressman Turnipseed. “I must
have some of it for my district.”
“Don’t you fellows take it all,” says Congressman Cot-

fellows get some.”
“Me too,” says Cqngressman Keg-O-Nails, “I must get

“Arid I,” says Congressman Gett a Share, “ain’t going

I get mine, too.”
“Well, now,” says Congressman Tall Grass, “if you fel-

“Ain’t it funny,” says Congressman Smoothguy, “that

appropriation bill all ready to introduce.”
“Poor me,” says Mr. Backbent Taxpayer, “here I was
kidding myself that I was going to get my taxes reduced
when the government started disarming. The politicians
and newspapers said so. But here you fellows, in your minds,
have already got the savings spent and more besides.”

breeds of dogs may be purchased,
names of books on care of dogs,
how to teach dogs tricks, and the
diseases of the dog.

we get thru. no Japan left."
That line of talk la common
among Chinese, all over the
world. Where there ia so much
smoke, there must be fire. China,
long suffering, will take care of
herself in time. Deliver us from
the wrath of a goodnatured man
feet. Centuries after came the
Pithecanthropus Erectus, the
Heidelberg man, the Piltdown
man, the Neanderthal man and
the Cromagnon man—types now
all extinct.
The intelligence of the Cro-
magnon man was comparatively
high. He was an artist and till-
ed the fields and yet his type •
passed away; simply because
he was physically inefficient.
Now, after the evolution of
some 10,000,000 species—now
all extinct—we, have man in
his present state, the genus ho-
mo. Most of us are rather in-
clined to assume that evolu-
tion has done its work, and that
ours is a type that will final-
ly go thru the centuries until
the earth meets its end.

GERMANY.
What kind of a system does
Germany use? At standing off
the butcher and grocer, she would
be a marvel.
In the nine months up to Oc-
tober, Germany bought $300,476,-
000 worth of American goods and
shipped us cpnly >59,401,090 of
goods. Where did'that trifling
difference of about >240,000,000
come5from? Who furnished it?
Where did they get it? Was it
their own money? Or is Germany
on the lists for an unlimited
charge account?
Plenty of money in this coun-
try of ours for Germany and the
railroads. But nothing, it ap-
pears, in the national treasury for
a soldier bonus.
Maybe Germany is paying in
American securities owned beyond
the Rhine. We hope so. Other-
wise. the transaction is a lot like
buying a dead horse.
* INDIANS.
The red Indian probably will
make his last stand in Canada,
which reports an Indian popula-
tion of 106.000. They are farm-
ing 221,800 acres of land, and
their average wealth ranges as
high as 82,217 in the province of
Alberta.
Not all of them are farmers. The
fur coat you are wearing may
have been trapped in the -four-
legged state by a Canadian Indian.
It is less than two centuries
since the Indians were masters of
most of the American continent.
The white man haa exterminated
them at a rate almost without
precedent in history.
Will the white man be a curios-
ity 200 years hence, like the In-
dian in 1921? Ask the Orient.

Japan’s Grave Choice
Japan is at the crossroads. The appointment of Crown
Prince Hirohito as regent may mean for Japan peace or war.
That is to say, it may mean national prospertiy or national
destruction. Hirohito must decide for his country. He must
choose between the militarists and the liberals.
The elevation df this young man, aged twenty, recalls
the accession to the German throne of Wilhelm Hohenzollern
in 1888. Wilhelm, too, was in his twenties. His country was
militaristic, as Japan is today. Wilhelm had to choose be-
tween imperialim and democracy. His choice was the sabre;
and today he is a disgraced exile and his country is in ruin.
Hirohito has greater powers than Wilhelm had. Hirohito,
in the estimation of his subjects, is divine and his word is in-
fallible. Hirohito can do his will with Japan. Fortunately
for Japan, he has just completed a tour of Europe. He
knows thesprogressive west by direct contact, and he is the
first ruler of Japan to have that knowledge. He must have
grasped the significance of Germany’s downfall and the in-
fluence of democracy upon Europe.
Hirohito has the manhood of his race. He cannot forgive
the challenge thrown at him this summer by Field Marshal
Yamagata, head of the Elder Statesmen, and leader of the
militarists. Yamagata tried to compel Hirohito to jilt his
fincee, the beautiful and accomplished Princess Nagako, and
marry a princess of Yamagata’s own clan. Hirohito refused
to do so. Yamagata’s effort to control the throne failed.
The struggle between the two must be continued if Hiro-
hito is to save his country from a disastrous career of pred-
atory militarism. Yamagata must go. If Hirohito permits
Yamagata to remain in power, the reign of the new regent
will have begun inauspiciously.

It is ignorance that prompts so
many women to hasten immediate-
ly for pills or powders when their
heads begin to ache.
If it were not ignorance they
would know that a headache is al-
ways a symptom of something
more serious. Therefore, instead
of resorting to headache powders,
the thing to be done is to find out
at once what is wrong and correct
it.’
la most cases, the victim of a
headache either lets it wear itself
off, in which case it invariably re-
turns. or she doses herself with
pills or powders. •
It is a strange fact that a heal-
ache may come from any one of a
dozen ailments, and It is often ex-
tremely difficult to locate the ex-
act seat of the trouble. There may
be defective teeth or eyestrain,
there may be irritation in the nasal
passages, or it may be the first evi-
deace of a brain tumor.
It may signify disease of the
kidneys, or of.the arteries. It may
mean poisoned blood, whether
from tea, lead, tobacco or intesti-
aal toxins. . It may mean an im-
poverished blood as in anemia, or
it may mean fatigue of the nervous
system which is called neurasthe-
Ria.
Often the immediate cause of a
headache is overstimulation of the
heart. Undue heart stimulation
accompanies a number of organic
disturbances and results in abnor-
mally high blood pressure within
the brain.
The majority of headache rem-
edies offered for sale contain pow-
erful heart depressants which
bring only temporary relief and
leave the heart in a more danger-
ous state than before. There is al-
ways danger, however, in taking
any drugs sufficiently strong to
depress the heart.
When you have found the cause
of the headache, an attempt
should be made to apply the rem-
edy. If it ia indigestion, give the
stomach a rest for a meal or two
or cut down on the quantity of
try Intact while in America we are
still at the very beginnings of a

This chemist represented the

The man who put chemistry on

colors, and made some experi-

saw a man mix the ingredients to
make explosives for firecrackers.
He went home and made some
firecrackers of his own. He de-
veloped great knowledge of chem-
istry. and became professor at
Giessen.
There was not at that time a
chemical laboratory in Germany.
He fitted up what he called a lab-
cratory in a barn with an earthen

Surrounded by the luxuries

century and enlightened by
modern education and religion ,
the average visitor to a muse-

the rebuilt skeleton of Eocene

from the mental improvement,
however, is this complacency
justified?

laboratory ever founded, and
there the whole world went to
chool.
Afterward, when he had at-
tained fame, a great laboratory
was built for him at Munich, and
he had palatial surroundings and
an army of assistants and all man-
ner of apparatus, but he did no
mighty work there: His great
work for Germany and the world
was done in Giessen, with the most
primitive apparatus.
When we know such things we
ought to feel anew the value of
the man as against the apparatus.
There are boys now experimenting
with wireless who are to bring to
the world great new discoveries.
Important-contributions to human
knowledge are yet to be made by
men who have the most meager
equipment of money and of ma-

It is a mistake to assume that
the great discoveries are made
wholly in the great laboratories;
there still is a chance for the man
of initiative and genius, however
poor he may be in money or in

“There is, in my opinion, one in-
dividual (Mr. London, Socialist)
who sits and votes on that (Demo-
cratic) side that on a question of
this kind would east his vote on
the merits of the proposition as he

probably be wrong, but at any
rate his vote would express his
real opinion.”—Rep. Mondell (R),

Q.—Where and when was Mrs.
Tom Thumb born, and when did
she die. What was her height?
A.—Lavinia Warren, "Mrs. Tom
Thumb" (Mrs. Charles Sherwood
Stratton) afterwards Countess
Magri, was born at Middleboro,
Mass., 1841, and died in 1919. Her
height was less than two feet.
Q.—How many kinds of mud
turtles are there and what color
are they?
A.—There is only one kind of
mud turtle. It is brown and has
light spots on its head.
Q.—What is meant by the ex-
ression “Missing Link."
A.—“Missing Link” is a term
used to designate the state as-
sumed to intervene in evolution
between the ape-like ancestor of
man, and man, and in a more gen-
eral sense, any hypothetical form
intermediate between two actual
forms of life.
Q.—Is the Treaty Elm still
standing, and If not, what became
of it?
. A.—The Treaty Elm was blown
down March 3, 1819. The site is
now marked by a small, plain
monument erected by the Penu
Society in 1827. There is in the
yard of the Friends' School, Phil-
adelphia, a tree grown from a slip
from the Elm.
