ILLIAM H. ANDERSON, State Superintendent of the ‘Anti- Saloon League, denounces the President’s attitude toward Wartime Prohibition and declares the Presidential promise the law to be an appeal “for the support of what is left of the and liquor interests.” “The President's suggestion will tend to paralyze the law enforcement machinery of the Government, In the face of other uncertainties, no official can have any great amount of heart in enforcing « law which he knows may be wiped out _ from under him at any minute.” ‘What would have been the Andersonian advice to the President? To make Wartime Prohibition a worse piece pf dishonesty by pre- | tending it has ceased to have anything to do with War or Demobiliza- tion? To ignore the plain wording of the Wartime Prohibition Act and treat Wartime Prohibition as if it were a part of the Highteenth Amendment? _ ‘ Apparently Anderson and his Anti-Saloon League would set themselves no limits in making a monkey out of Congress and the country. ——47-—___. THE REDS’ SHALLOWEST AND SILLIEST.

We will not ask where there are those who would part with some solid cash to have it take place, We will not, because we know the answer to these Pes questions. We will ask, however, whether any of the reaction- ‘j _ ates have decided on some dramatic affair eo that it will * dovetail with all the propaganda that has been carried on for several weeks?” ay. Of all the shallow make-believes with which the Reds regale ) themselves, the shallowest and silliest is the absurd pretense that loyal _ ¢itizens stage bomb outrages to discredit the disloyal. Even the real bomb planters themselves must be sick of that overworked sham. ee NO MUTINY IN THE 339TH. HE country is glad to hear from competent, first hand authority emphatic denial of the stories of mutiny in the 339th Infantry in Russia. Said Major J. Brooks Nichols of the 339th, on landing in New York this week: “There has been printed an astonishing amount of bunk bout the alleged mutiny. The incident arose from a misun- Gerstanding of orders issued by a sergeant to a private who 44 not understand him. The private was a Pole and could not grasp our language quickly. Therefore he seemed hesi- tant in obeying. When the order was made clear to him he obeyed with alacrity. The 339th is all that an officer could desire. The men wore drafted, but they fought like regulars,” For the rest, the Major reports, what discontented American sol there were in Russia were following the lead of Senator Hiram Jebnson of California who had been loudly demanding here at home “Why are the American troops in Russia?

ASTER WILLIE JARR hai the | toothache, At intervals dur- | ing the night his whimpering figure had appeared by the parental bedside making moans, ‘My tooth! Oh, my tooth! Mam- ma!” Then Master Jarr would do the| toothache two-step. Mrs, Jarr would arise with patient | words of condolence and jead the suf- | fering boy back to his bed, stay nim with the chloroform liniment and comfort him with reheated hot water bags till, the pain ceasing for the time béing, the little fellow would fall asleep again. “Now, I don't want to seem harsh" sald Mr. Jarr, as he arose, hag surd, with the arising household, “but tnat boy MUST get that tooth pulled! He's only suffering terribly, when he could be relieved of the cause in a moment, Why, even old Mrs, Dusen- berry lost patience with him at last. We are only cxcouraging him to be @ physical cowurd,.” “It's easy enough for you to talk!” replied Mrs, Jarr, indignantly, “but why don't YOU go get your tooth pulled?" Mr, Jarr might have sald he had no need to, but he didn't, What would have been the use! “I'm sure I think the child ts beaver to stand the suifering the way he does rather than go in a dentist's chair, where the pain of having tne tooth extracted is just a second’s pang,” said Mrs, Jarr. “I don’t blame the child—I have a dread of den- tists too.” “I have a dread of undertakers. And they don’t burt you at all,” aid Mr, Jarr. “How can you talk so heartless?” erled Mrs, Jarr. “It's no wonder children always come to their mother rather than their father when they are in pain, They know who sym- pathizes with them.” “Well, I can't stand another night like last night, and I'm sure Willie can't,” sald Mr. Jarr, “Let us be sensible, Take him to the dentist and get his tooth pulled. Here's a dollar,” Mrs. Jarr snifted, “Dentists don't pull teeth these Mrs. Jarr took the two dollars, She didn’t know whether the boy could be coaxed or coerced into going to the dentist's, but if not, two dollars are two dollars, Besides, as she said to herself, this was an extra expense and Mr, Jarr should pay all extra expenses, And he did, too; also those that were not extra, Master Jarr sobbed in a subdued manner when his father’s ultimatum was delivered to him, But he did not protest, “That's a brave little man!” said Mr. Jarr, “Remember you must be brave—you are a Boy Scout. I gave you a dollar to join, Now you will have earned that dollar by going to the dentist.” “When will I have the toothache, popper?” asked the little girl. “When I have it I won't cry. Can I have a dollar because I won't ery when I get the toothache?” “Wait till you get the toothache first, and then we'll see,” said Mr. Jarr, When Mr, Jarr returned that even- ing he found Master Jarr, with his face tied up with red flannel, playing with a clockwork locomotive and a train of bright red iron cars, “Well, is it all right now?" asked father, There was an evasiveness about the household, “Aw, it don't ache now. Mrs, Du- senberry says it's all right now the nerve's dead,” said the child, “Choo! cho choo! Glang, glang! Look out! This last was uttered in exercising the functions of trainmaster of the Parlor Rug Railroad, “So he didn't have it pulled after ali?’ said Mr. Jarr, “All right. But, mind you, if he comes into my room to-night crying he'll get a whipping from me!" This threat had no terrors for Master Jarr, He knew he would have maternal protection, And he did, That night the tooth- ache raged again, and ever and Lon the boy wailed and awoke the house- hold, When it failed to wake he drew anear and aroused it, “Now, I'll see that he goes to the dentist!" said Mr. Jarr firmly, when w to-morrow broke |days for a dollar, You forget the high cost of living,” she said, chasing Board for this city, which in ‘How can I forget it when I am y for anything?” replied Mr. Jarr. reminded of it every time I have to|® him to get bin to go to the dentist, explained Mrs, Jarr, “and that took ope of tee Caso en he scfoume ed so when we got to oi ie ae inte Pi “T had to buy the train of cars for!

It is only by that means that we can gauge Its normal development. “The weight chart is as important in the mana: ment of the dietetics of infancy the temperature chart is in the treatment of febrile affections.” Now we must not be satisfied with the apparent healthy appearance of the child; we must know for a certainty that the weekly increase in weight |s up to the average. It is well known that children lose weight, just as they experience a rise in temperature, upon very elight provocation, also that they recuperate with astonish- ing rapidity. At birth the welght of boys is slightly in excess of.that of girls, the average for boys being seven and one-half pounds, and for girls seven pounds. Slight deviations above and delow this are within physiologic lim- its. During the first few days of birth there is a loss of weight, which is usually not regained until the sec- ond week; should it continue into the third week, we must immediately take measures to ascertain the cause, To what is the initial loss of weight due? This is an important question for young, inexperienced mothers, who are likely to fret over the condition, and so affect thelr milk, which re- acts upon the infant's digestion and may further Increase the loss- A new born infant 1s far more susceptible to external impressions and influences during the first week than after sveral weeks, ‘when ne has become adapted to his new surround- ings.

Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Bening World) An Infant’s Weight roundings, the infant loses weight, which is regained only if his mutri- tion is properly carried on and das regard is given to the delicate or- ganism in other respects. It been found that the largest percent- age of deaths occur during the first month of infant life from asthenia. Lack of sufficient nourishment and an unstable equilibrium are the causal factors, So sensitive @re some newly born babies that they cannot adjust themselves to light, to noises, to the various stimull end- lessly reaching them. As a rule the daily gain in weight for the first two months should not be less than two-thirds of an ounce. Experience has taught us that when it is the child is not being well nour- ished, it is 11 or going to be ill. Sta- tionary weight or continued decline is often a warning of an impanding illness before the appearance of other symptoms. There are excep- tions of course. Now dally observa. tions of weight are very misleading; we can only rely upon the week's weight, because what is lost in one or even two days is sometimes made up during the next few days in « wonderful manner.
