COORDING to latest reports from Washington, Republican aremibers of the Senate Committee on Forcign Relations are showing themselves strongly averse to personal conference with the President on the subject of the Peace Treaty and the League pt Nation. 6) .

Your disposal and at the disposal of your Committee on For- eiga Relations at any time, either informally or in session, as you may prefer, and I hope that you will not hesitate to make ‘use of them.” . _¢ - For Republican opponents of the Treaty to ignore the President’s satfer and refuse information regarding the Treaty from the man best fitted to furnish it is farther to convict themselves before the country of disingenuousness amounting to dishonesty. ! Whey have professed themselves eager to learn all the facts Searing on the Treaty and the League. What they really want is _ _ only matter to feed their hostility. ‘They have asked for information. __ Wow they can have that information they would rather suppress it. They dread its effect in making yet more plain to the country the : groundlessness of their petty, partisan cavillings against the great = instrument by which the chief nations of the world are striving to ‘ Ptogress another step forward. Republican Senators of the rabidly anti-Treaty group are getting Into a worse and worse position. Presently they will find themselves, : 3 their sullen hatred of tye President and their sham patriotic protests against the Treaty all shoved into a corner, while four-fifths of the _ Senate and ‘sinety-nine one-hundredths of the people of the United States ratify the Treaty, acclaim the League of Nations and settle into a bwift Nationa) stride along the path of industry, prosperity ‘ and well-guarded peace. —+-__ NAME THEM.

Burr, Developing this view in the first of a series of articles written for The Evening World, Mr, Burr says: “When counsel for the New York Railways Company pre- sents @ case for relief quite independently of any question of return on fair value, because, as he claims, operating ex- penses are greater than operating income, he is in Teajity classifying under operating expenses every one of these excessive rentals, including guaranteed dividends, often as high as 18 per cent. or thereabouts, on the stock of the lessor companies.” sis This leads back to what The Evenin, World said 7 when the B. R. (1. went into the hands 4 @ receiver rn esr ; borough made another application for an eight-cent fare; : It is doubtful if anything short of exhaustive expert over- hauling, re-enforced by drastic legislative action, can ever clear away the accumulated consequences of past mismanagement and 3 leave traction lines in this city free to enter upon a future of safe, sound finance based on honest earning power. : Such a clean up would be worth the cost. Temporary dis- turbance and loss thereby occasioned would have to be con- siderable indeed to outweigh the lasting public benefit thereby assured. Here is a great metropolis, with a population approaching 6,000,000, offering extraordinary opportunities for profit to those who provide its transit facilities, Are burdensome heritages from past extravagance and wild finance to go on indefinitely wiping out the profits, depriving the public of adequate service and embarrassing the city in its partnership with the traction corporations until public owner- ship with all its risks appears the only hope?

Given a healthy mother with normai milk that agrees with her child, noth- ing beyond the regulation of feegings is necessary, but even here an anal- ysis of the milk should be made to guard against some untoward acf\- dent whereby the child may be de- prived of maternal feedings and given either a wet nurse or artificially pre- pared food. It is astonishing what can be done with mothers’ milk for the benetit of babies who do not thrive upon it, In @ great many instances it is found upon analysis that a given’ milk con- tains too much solid; is too heavy; the child is unable to digest it; does not procure sufficient nourishment and therefore does not thrive, Now, instead of removing the babe from the breast and experimenting with artificial feedings, the mother is told to modify her diet, to take less | meat and other proteid foods and to exercise, A brisk walk each day for at least two miles should form a part of the daily regime of every nursing mother, with the baby. miles, with restriction of proteids, does not result favorably, then three, four or even five mile walks are necessary. | The nursing mother must remember that she is performing a sacred duty end that she must lend herself to the task with infinite love and patience, She will be repaid a thousand-fold in the beautiful development of hér child. Many women cannot do much |walking, especially so soon after |lwbor. In these cases a life in the jopen air is advised, with short walks at stated intervals; also withdrawal of the milk from the breasts, which is then suitably diluted and fed to the infant from a ‘bottle. In some Instances the percentage of fat con- tained in the milk is too high, the child vomits, bas colicky pain, shows every symptom of digestive disturb- ances, Palliative treatment is usually essayed by means of soda mint and spice plasters, while the poor milk is continued and the foundation laid for chronic intestinal trouble or even greater evils. A poor milk may be caused by care- living generally; thus a diet that con- tains an excess of sweets, with a low amount of proteids, does not contain the proper. constituents in correct | proportions, Here regulation of hab- its, abstinence from sweets, a healthy dietary and exercise will change a poor milk into a good one, It is not always: possible to effect these desirable changes where 1! milk is “bad.” These elements that are deficient in such milk cannot be improved even upon a richer diet; in such cases it is necessary te wean the infant.
