The proof of the pudding lies in. the eating has long sinee been accepted as a sound bit of advice. And from the state- ments whieh are attributed to these who bhave been getting a taste of soviet gov- ernment it is proving ‘true in the testing out of the present regime in Russia. It was not so long ago that Emma Goldman was extolling the great benefits of bolshevism and malsing all sorts-of at- tacks upon the government of this eoun- try. Regarded as a damgerous alien she was sent to the country of her birth there to eyperience seme of the Wonderful things that she imagined she saw in so- viet rule. She hasn't been there long, but she has been disillusioned in that short time. She finds conditiens far dif- ferent than she expected and she longs to get back to the United States. " To come from one of her stamp the ad- mission\s a big one. But she doesn't stand alone and her feelings cannmot be tributed to rostalgia. She has had experience and it is mot likely that she would say what is attributed to her f it were not so. Another in the person of Mre. Philip Snowden, seeialist and patifist of England, who has been an en- thusiastic advocate of the ideas as set forth by the seviet government voices much the same opinions about the condi- tios under the bolshevik government as Emma Goldman.

S T T Developemnt of & Baby At birth, a baby's head is larger in proportion to his body than is an adult's. The abdomen is big. The arms and legs are shott and the legs are slightly bowed. Soon after birth, a baby deveieps sense of contact and temperature, that is, he knows whem he is being held and he can appreciate heat or cold. He learns to see light and to hear during the first three or four days. The first month the hands move aim- lessly about. During the second month, he learns to put his hand to his mouth and tries to lift his head. During the third and fourth months, & baby will make an effort to grasp what is held before him and will try to sit up. He should not be allowed to o so unless he is supported. About this time, he pe- gins to recognize others and develops 2 will of his own, which is expressed in erving when he is displeased. He will €00 -when he is happy. About the sixth month a Waby ean sit alone for a few nimutes. He will grasP and hold whatever comes” within reach of his busy fingers. He now begins to be sociable and will try to tall, some- times making vowel sounds. From the seventh month to the ninth month, he will crop and will make efs forts to stand. He likes to imitate movements and to have sympathy and at- tentiop shown him. From the ninth month to the twelfth month, he learns to stand and from the twelfth to the sixteenth month leans ta waik. He develops a sense of desire to please and this Jeads to obedience. Some- times rt the twelfth month he can say 2 few words. A baby has no meral sense or kmow- ledge of what is right or wrong. He simply follows his instincts. An older person umst keep him from harm and show him gently how to do the right iings until he learns for himeelf. As improper feeding is one of the chief causes of a child’s failing to develop properly, foo elose attention camnot be paid to the right feeding of a young baby. GLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES.
