SPRAY YOUR GRAPES.

Indianapolis, June 10. —Owners of grape vines have been urged by the state department of conservation to use a spray for the protection of grape vine leaves. According to Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, the young of the grape vine flea beetle are attacking the leaves and there is danger of much damage. Attention also hasbeen called to the hairy Caterpillar which spins a web joining the grape vine leaves together. This insect should be picked off and burned and the affected leaves sprayed, it was said.

JOHN BULL PAYS FOR HEALTHY BABIES

John Bull believes that healthy babies make strong men, and is willing to pay for them, according to reports recently received by “the Children’s Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. In 1918 grants made by the national government in support of infant welfare work in England and Wales amounted to about 11,50,000, which represents one-half of approved expenditure for welfare centers, “health visitors,” maternity care and similar work for mothers and children. The number of health centers increased from 850-in 1917, to 1,550 in June, 1919, over one-half of them supported entirely by public funds. Attendance at the centers has also shown a phenomenal increase. One center in Gloucester, which, in 1918, received 263 expectant mothers, had 932 on its rolls in 1919. As a result, it is thought, of pub-

lic protection of maternity and infancy, the infant mortality rate for England and Wales for 1918 is 94. There was no -increase over 1917 even under the adverse conditions of war and influenza.. The 1918 infant mortality rate for the U. S. birth registration area, just published, is 101, 7 points higher than the rate for the preceding year. Children’s Bureau investigations have shown that Uncle Sam’s babies die because they and their mothers do not have skilled can. Until such care is jnade available, as in England, for all women m all parts of the country, regardless of economic standing, no great decline in the infant mortality rate

COMPROMISE ON LEAGUE AS ADOPTED

Following is the text of the platform planks stating the position of the Republican party on the general foreign policy of the nation and the league of nations and peace treaty: We favor a liberal and generous foreign policy founded upon definite moral and political principles, characterized by clear understanding of and firm adherence to our own rights, and unfailing respect for the rights of others. We should afford full and adequate protection for the life, liberty, and property, and all international rights of every American citizen, and should require a proper respect for the American flag; but we should be equally careful to manifest a just regard for the rights of other nations. A scrupulous observance of our international engagements, when lawfully

assumed, is essential to our own honor and self respect and the respect of other nations. Subject to a due regard for international obligations, we should leave our country free to develop its civilization along lines most conducive to the welfare and happiness of the people, and to cast its influence on the side of' justice and right should occasion require.* . * The Republican party stands for agreement among the nations who « reserve the peace of the world, ife believe that such an international association must be based . upon international justice and must provide mehtods which shall maintain the rule of public right by the development of law and the decision of impartial courts, and which shall secure —instant and general international conference whenever peace shall be threatened, so that the nations pledged to do and insist upon what is just and fair may exerche their influence and power for the prevention of the war. We believe that all this can be done without the compromise of national independence, without depriving the people of the United States in advance of the right to determine for themselves what is just ahd wa when the occasion arises, and without involving them as participants, and not as peacemakers in a multitude of quarrels, the merits of which they are unable to judge.
