"For Your Baby's Sake Nurse It! " The health department of Chicago is waging a very effective war against infant mortality. Among the many ideas used by the health department was a poster that contained the following information and plea: THE LONG VS. THE SHORT HAUL. Seventy per cent of city babies get their food through a tube 60 miles long. It takes about 36 hours often 42 hours for milk to run from the cow end of the tube to the baby end of the tube. This tube is open in many places and baby's food is frequently polluted. It is often wrongly kept in overheated places. Then there may be a diseased cow at the country end of the tube. And yet some people wonder why so many babies die! On the other hand the mother-fed baby gets its milk fresh, pure and healthful no germs can get into it. To lessen baby deaths let us have more mother-fed babies. You can't improve on God's plan. f For your baby's sake nurse it ! With but slight changes what is true of Chicago is true of Richmond babies. Statistics showing how many Richmond babies are bottle-fed are not at hand. Chicago's statistics, however, will probably hold true for Richmond. Of course, the tube from the cow end to the baby end is not as long here as it is in Chicago. Chicago's greater baby population forces the tube farther afield in search of baby food. But Richmond's tube runs just as great risk of contaminating its babies' food supply as Chicago's. Each summer a number of Richmond babies die. Physicians now attribute infant mortality to impure and germ infected milk or other food. Richmond mothers who bring their babies into the world after much pain and suffering, should value their little charges so highly tfyat they will continue to exercise all the functions of motherhood. And nursing the babies personally is one of the greatest of these. "For your baby's sake nurse it !"
"What's the Matter With Kansas?" Summing up the effect of the widely advertised draught in Kansas this year the Kansas City Star says : "The bad effects of the heat and drynes of this year will speck only by the size of a pin point the white map of the state's prosperity." Backing this strong statement the Star adds the following interesting information : , Over 86,500,000 bushels of winter wheat have been harvested in Kansas this year; 49 per cent more than was raised in any other state in the Union. Every bushel of this wheat is worth 70 cents, a total of more than 60 million dollars for the entire crop. "No draught can touch that," says the Star. From one million acres in alfalfa, 25 per cent more acreage than a year ago, two cuttings have already been made. The first was the heaviest in the history of the state. The second was light. The total yield for the two cuttings was one and one-half tons per acre, or one and one-half million tons for the entire state. This is worth on the Kansas City market 15 and $16 a ton. "No draught can touch it," says the Star. Besides the alfalfa hay crop there is the alfalfa seed crop and it has been helped by the dry weather. Eastern Kansas rarely harvests a seed crop on account of wet weather. This year the outlook for a big alfalfa seed crop is fine. The average crop, estimated, will be five bushels to the acre. It will sell for $10 a bushel. Last year's oats crop amounted to 42,298,000 bushels. This year's crop is estimated as twothirds of last years. Kansas has one and one-half million acres of Kafir corn and milo maize, two of the greatest draught resisting sorghums known to agriculture. These two sorghums have 90 per cent of food value, pound for pound, of Indian corn. Of sweet sorghum, used for hay, another draught resisting crop, Kansas has over 700,000 acres. .Where last year Kansas raised 174,225,000 bushels of corn, this year the state will raise only about 40,000,000 bushels. The draught reduced the estimated yield to about six bushels an acre. "But what of it ?" asks the Star. And adds, "The stored-up wealth of Kansas is incomputable." In the last twenty years the aggregate value of the wheat crop of Kansas was $831,875,465, and of the corn crop $1,081,678,817. In June there was $111,912,346 on deposit in 919 state banks in Kansas. This was exactly $13,220,677 more than was on deposit in the same banks in June a year ago. In all the banks of Kansas, state and national, there was on deposit in June, this year,
200 million dollars, the largest amount on deposit in the history of the state. "Personal discomfit has been largely responsible for any despondent feeling in Kansas. Six months from now the present experiences will be almost forgotten," says the Star. You can't beat Kansas for optimism. And with this Kansas optimism at work twenty-four hours of the day and the Star's statement showing what good crops Kansas has harvested despite the draught, what a lot of useless worrying eastern businessmen have been doing the past six weeks!
PROTECTION OF WOMEN.
The first verdict in the sensational Diggs-Carainetti scandal, if confirmed upon appeal, will mark an important extension of the powers and responsibilities of the central government. Whether this extension is wise or desirable is very doubtful, and the reasoning against it should not be obscured by the fact that both these culprits richly deserve punishment. The Mann act, really aimed at the commercialized traffic in women, seems to have been drawn in terms so inclusive that it brings within reach of the federal government and very heavily penalizes sexual irregularities entirely lacking the commercial factor or the factor of coercion or bondage. It is, in fact, an expression of the awakening of the public conscience as to the exploitation of women. Reform has been unwilling to rely upon the local agencies of justice, which are so often subject to influence or are incompetent, and in its determination to get quick results has seized upon the powerful and efficient machinery of the central government. Whether this is constitutional is yet to be tested. Whether it is wise to load this further responsibility on the federal department of justice of insisting upon stricter state laws and their better enforcement is a question of policy not lightly to be answered. But whatever the answer, there can be no doubt that our laws and their administration, insofar as they protect women, are to be extended and strengthened radically during the present generation.
THE FAMILY.
What doth this noise of thoughts within my heart, As if they had a part? What do these loud complaints and pulling fears. As if there were no rule or ears? But Lord, the house and family are Thine, Though some of them repine, Turn out these wranglers which defy thy seat; For where thou dwellest all Is neat. First Peace and Sflcence all disputes control, Then Order plays the Soul; And giving all things their set forms and hours, Makes of wild woods sweet walks and bowers. Humble Obedience near the door doth stand, Expecting a command; Than whom in waiting nothing seems more slow. Nothing more quick when she doth go. Joys oft are there, and griefs as oft as joysj But griefs without a noise; Yet speak they louder than distemper' d fears; . What is so shrill as silent tears? This is thy house, with these it doth abound; And where these are not found. Perhaps thou comest sometimes and for a day; But not to make a constant stay. George Herbert.

Heart to Heart Talks
IMMENSE
CROWD
AT CHAUTAUQUA ON

THE LOVE OF THE GAME. For thirteen years Christy Matbevrson, "the peerless Matty," has been a great figure la the world of baseball. He has been the mainstay of bis team, the New York National League Giants, and has helped to win three league pennants and one world's championship. Other men hare lasted longer in "big league ball" than Mathewson, but no other has so brilliant a record. To-day, although oaly thirty-three years old, he Is an eld timer, as baseball players are rated. But he' holds bis own. He Is still one of tbe leading pitchers, one of the most dependable of players. When he steps Into tbe pitching box the men behind him, his teammates, feel confident that tbey will win the game. Why? The matter was discussed a few days ago by some leading players, all of whom know Matty. And this is the reason, the trve reason, for his lasting powers and his supremacy as a player. "It is because he lores the game," said one man. "He puts his heart in It. It is his lifework." There is the secret, if It can be called a secret. Matty loves the game. Therefore he plays it as well as he does. There is another reason. It was giTen out by Manager McGraw, Mathewsoa's superior and friend, a few years ago. "The big fellow never has to go into training In the spring to get Into condition," said McGraw. "He keeps himself in condition all the time. He does not have to tune himself np He is ready to play ball at any time." Love of the game and perfect condition all the time! The two conditions work for success In baseball. They are good rules in all
games and In all labors and proressions. If you "love the game," if you! The largest theatre in the world is feel that the work in which you art the opera house in Paris. It covers engaged is worthy of you and keer. i three acres of ground, its cubic mass
yourself in the proper mental and physical condition to do It yon will succeed as Mathewson has succeeded. If you let yourself "go stale" and lose Interest in the game yon will join the long line of fallureo. Mathewson In his long baseball career has outlasted many other pitchers. Some of them were praised on theii first appearance as "second Mathewsons' or "better than Matty." They did not love the game enough. They took insufficient care of them selves. As Matty has lasted and will live foi all time In baseball history, so may any man make a great name for himself in his chosen field if be will observe the great pitcher's rules: Lore the game. Keep yourself it trim.
(Coatloued from Page One.) of union will be sown and not the seeds of dissension. "What then divides the Christian from the Jew If every poor Russian Jew is an American in spirit? Have the people forgotten that Jesus was a Jew. That Sts. Peter, Paul and other prophets were Jews? "The Jew. is suffering the same crown of thorns suffere" by Jesus when he first came. The Jew suffered yesterday, is suffering today and will suffer tomorrow. But he will be the one to give Jesus a habitation when He comes again . "I close with this message to you: "The crest and crowning of all good. Life's final star is Brotherhood, And till it comes we men are slaves. And travel downward to the dust of graves. Come, clear the way then. Clear the way, Blind creeds and Kings have had their day. Break the dead branches from the path . Our hope is in the aftermath Our hope is in the heroic men. Star-fed, to lead the world again. To this event the ages ran. Make way for Brotherhood; Make way for Man."

WILLIAM MITCHELL DELIVERS LECTURE Speaks on the Opportunities All Human Being Can Have.
Good breeding and early training are factors of both su.o.s and failure of life, said Williar.i i Mitchell, speaking to a fair sUed crowd at tho Chautauqua Saturday n!ht. Mental disorders, he vaid. are hereditary the sme diseases, tyut the mediocre should not ht discouraged because of inherited handicaps. Diligence and application would often enable such classes to reai h a higher plane than those more sifted at birth. Kach person is endowed with certain talents. The nature of the talents is of minor importance compared to the use to which their owner puts them. The thing. Mr. Mitchell said, is to make the best of our endowments. He then consider.! the wonderful progress of the ae. showins that th;a is an age of opportunities. Have We Reached Limit? "Have we." he asked, "reached the
acme of progress, or will we keep pare
with the spirit and try to stand at the head of every movement worth while? "Nothing for nothing has been nature's rule, and unless we put something Into life we may expect to get nothing out of it Work. work, work ha been the maxim of all the world's great men. "The opportunities of the present age to make progress for God and humanity are superior to those of any other age. If we do our best the (treat architect will take our effortt and make "them perfect through eternity." Concluding the evening program the Jubilee Singers gave their last concert. Their farewell song. In which the singers marched up and down the stage, giving the Chautauqua salute, received a reply of hundreds of waving handkerchiefs from the audience.
"The Battle." There is no doubt but what the production of "The Battle." which The Frances Sayles Players will offer at the Murray theatre all next week will be one of the best of the season. Chas Beekman, the scenic artist has been busy all the past week on this production and will not have it complete until the last of the week. "The Battle" was used by Wilton Laekaye, for two seasons and proved to be a dramatic sensation.
