I RES A€ GENERAL OFFICES € NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANGHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES BABY WEEK A wag was asked the purpose of Baby Week which was held in the United States last week. “To do away with weak babies,” he replied. Now this is not particularly hu- morous but we repeat it because it expresses the purpose of the insti- tution. Now, we do not mean to lit- erally do away with weak babies, to mercifully let them die, but rather to transform a weak, puny, sickly little body into a robust, healthy, chubby, dimpled body. The knowledge gained during baby week shows that much can be done in this direction. Too often among the lower classes little babies are fed sausages and other greasy foods, given a drink of beer because it will fatten the product. Too often these little youngsters are shut up in foul atmosphere with no fresh air because the mothers fear they will catch cold. Too often the little bodies are swathed in clothes much too warm for them. Too often they are al- lowed to become filthily dirty. Now these parents no doubt love their off- spring; they do not submit them to these tortures to see how much abuse and hardship they can stand before wearily departing from this life. The parents do this because of ignorance. This ignorance is in reality a hor- rible crime and baby week is trying to minimize it. This crime of ignor- ance is by no means confined exelu- sively to the lower class. Even among the high educated class you often see a mother desperately churn- ing her baby up and down in a vain effort to put it to sleep hurriedly. If it does sleep it is probably the re- sult of exhaustion. How would you like to be thumped up and down when you are going to sleep There is much. talk in this country at this time of “Preparedness.” Our first: step. in “preparedness’ should be to make the babies of this country better fit for the battle of life. & THE TARIFF The Philadelphia Record reports that a hen at McKee Rocks, Pa., laid an egg on which appeared the words, “The end of time—1916.” If that hen lived on the Pacific coast where eggs are imported from China, says an exchange, she would have had the Democratic tariff law in mind and the word ‘“‘Democracy” would have ap- peared instead of “time.” The Ma- con City Globe-Gazette in comment- ing on the Democratic tariff, says Wilson has changed front on every issue except the tariff. That is the only issue on which the American people wish he would change, but he won’t. “WATCHFUL WAITING" The following, a United Press dis- pateh,:is what: we would call a good example of watchful:waiting”: Dennison, O., March 15.—Thirty- nine years ago G. H. Fowler applied to the United States-war department for a jok;as caretaker.of & government cemetery. He got a form letter say- ing his application had been filed with 50,000 others.

NYMOBE ANNEFATION The people of Bemidji are very anxious to lelp Nymore to become annexed to Bemidji, and after it is annexed will work to give Nymore every advantage that Bemidi has. The citizens of Bemidii erred years ago when. they.permitted -Nymoreto. be set apart as a village,: It was a big. mistake and: we sall-realizesit now. g Let everyone boost for a bigger and better Bemidji: LET THERE BE LIGHT We believe that the merchants have struck a popular chord when they took up the proposition of a “white way."” There is no one thing that is needed more for- Bemidji: at this time than a “white way.” If everyone will .pull together and get behind this movement-it will not be long before Bemidji has a ‘“white way.”” Let there e light, say we.

TRAVELERS ASK FOR PHONES IN DEPOT (By United Press) St. Paul, Minn, March 15— Whether you are going to be aided in dropping into the railroad depot in your town, call up Susie, tell her you just leave town on ‘“important business,” and then swing onto the last car of a departing train before she has time to make her protest amount to an actual blockade, was to be decided by the railroad and warehouse commissioners at a spe- cial session today. Travelers have placed a complaint with the commis- sion that railroads ought to be forced to place a public telephone in all waiting rooms. ST.

D.,, March 15.— Several hundred- convicts worked des- perately today to prevent: their peni- tentiary here from being washed down the drainage ditch running past the prison. High waters from the ditch, undermining the walls of the prison, have done hundreds of dol- lars of damage. If the men can win their battle with the water they will have a penitentiary to re-enter. If they lose they have a chance for liberty. Advertis- ingaSale! 7 'OU --don’t -leave Yyour: rig in:the-! middle. of. the roadand go to a fence- post to read a sale bill do you?

SAY ST-PAUL WOMEN (By . United Press) St.. Paul,, Minn,, March 15.—In keeping with a national campaign to lower the price of sugar, members of ;the St. Paul: Housewives' league today.put into .effect an active boy- cott on sugar. The St. Paul women assert that since 90 ‘per cent of the sugar in the country is used in homes, they can bring food specula- tors to time; AFTER SIX YEARS Mrs.. Erwin’s. Testimony Remains Unshaken. Time is the best--test of truth. Here is a Turtle River story that has stood the test of time. ft is a story with a point which will come straight home to many-of us. Mrs: 0. W. Erwin, Turtle River, Minn., says: “Some:three years ago my: kidneys: began to do their work poorly:: I got so bad:that I thought I would die. My back was very weak and I couldn’t bend:over. without be- ing in agony. The kidney secretions were scanty and contained sediment. My. breath came in gasps and I often felt.as though I was smothering. My whole body bloated and I often lay awake half the night gasping for breath. I got so. discouraged that I thought death would be a relief. Nothing helped me and my life was one constant round. of suffering. I finally began using Doan’s Kidney Pills and I am well and happy to- day. It is Doan’s Kidney Pills that made the cure.” OVER .6 YEARS LATER, Mrs. Er- win said: “The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills: made has been a permanent one, and ‘I recommend them, as usual, whenever I have a favorable oppor- tunity.” Price ‘50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply:ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan!s: Kidney Pills—the same that ' Contains No Alum COURT 'ORDERS’ THAT SIDEWALKS BE CLEANED (By' United Press) St. Paul, Minn., March 15.— “Clean your sidewalks,” was the court order” officials today gave hun- dreds of residents.
