BABIES THRIVE mmWZMLANDj i A- study made by the United J States. '"Department of . Labor! through -the^ Children's Bureau, Oral report,of which is made.public to- j day. has shown-. a_ dose relation, between organized infant - welfare vrork and .a 'striking reduction in the number of^hrfant-death&in New ZeaUnd. The New Zealand infant mortality r?teis lower than that of; any other country^ in .the world; for: >9j9 the- number of deaths of in- ! iants; under one . yearT of age was only-45 - to- every 1,000 live.hirths?: as compared with 87 an the United Statesbirth registration area. The resaits of the study, published un-j der the title, "Inf?m -Mortality and 1 Prevention Work in New Zea? j hth*d,v are' of special interest on ac- j count of the present ~ nation-wide j effort under the Shepp?rd-Towner j act to reduce infant mortality in the! t?nited States.' The significance of the report j lie# in its indication that while moderate -climate, racial homo geneity, high economic and intel lectual level, good housing, and oth er conditions help to- explain New Zealand's low rate, they do not ac- i count for the pronounced decrease ] in. the rate in the last 50 years, since during this' period improve ments in these conditions .either did not- occur or were not j*ro .nounced. The reduction has been especially marked for the past 10 to 15 years, through a lessening of the number of deaths from gastric and intestinal and from respira tory diseases ? those occurring with greatest frequency in the .months, respectively, of highest and lowest temperatures. The most important influence in the recent reduction is undoubted ly, the Children's Bureau report declares, the work of the Roy&l New Zealand Society for the Health of. Women .and Children^ organized in? 1907. This society is subsidized by the government, and its work has- extended tc. all the principal cities and many of the outlying re gions, of. the Dominion. At a spe cial hospital of the society, nurseV lenown as "Flunket nurses" (in honor of a former governor's wife) are given intensive post-graduate training in the care, of babies, and "then employed by the local branches to give free advice and assistance to all mothers of-the community. Popular education in "mothercraft* is also promoted through free distribution oL pam phlets, publication in the newspa pers of. a regular column on "Our "Babies," and the natural pacing on' of information among the wo men of -the society. The value of materal nursing is the subject ?Which has been especially empha sized in this educational work. The number of trained nurses available to mothers throughout the Dominion has also been in creased by the establishment of several state maternity hospitals with Courses for nurses' training, and by the registration and train ing of midwives. Private hospitals are licensed and inspected, and h*?mes in which children under 6 "ears of age are boarded apart from their mothers have since 1907 been regulated by the department of-education, which employs train ed inspectors. During the period from 1908 to 1918 the death rate per 1,000 infants in foster homes was reduced from 143 to 21. The production and sale of milk, follow ing special acts in 1907 and 1908, have been strictly regulated by the govei ament. ' Marion. III..

' Sore head is caused by spores of the common mold, according to Mr.-Mehrhof from study of inves tigation made by French govern ment. An outbreak occurs when chickens come in contact with moldy litter or moldy grain. Remedy: Immerse heads of fowls afflicted in either of the fol lowing solutions for 15 seconds three or four times a day. Usual-j ly three or. four treatments will be sufficient. (1) Fer-Sul, 1 tea spoon to 1 quart of water. (2) Cresol, 2 teaepoonfuls to 2 quarts of' water. Preparations are going forward for county fair and we hope to make the best showing possible.

The butter exhibited at many ofj the fairs is really a work of art and should be included in such collections rather than in the but-' ter exhibit. The pineapple shaped J entries?and - that moulded in - the j form of ducks, etc. really deserve j to be classed in the decorative art; department,- for too often the'qual- j ity of the butter is sacrificed to the design. Butter made for eat ing-purposes does not gain in quality, by the additional handling necessary for forming it into fan- j tasti? *shapes. The'package should ' her neat, clean and attractive and the butter well protected by being securely wrapped in a good grade < of parchment paper. ; The shape should be such as to allow it to be well -wrapped: The quality of the paper is very important because a poor grade is sure to be torn and worn off by much handling. Good butter should be especially well packed. Butter cf such quality as to befit for soap grease only may be packed any way?it doesn't matter if it is exposed to dust and flies. The main points to take into account in judging butter as fla vor and body. These are by far the most important. The flavor should be rich, sweet, clean, fine, mildly acid and the aroma should ibe pleasing. It should have no foreign odors or flavors. It should not taste cowy. cheesy, milky, cufldy, rancid, unclean nor highly acid. Body or texture should be good. If the grain is good the butter will break liki a piece of metal? not smooth. It should not contain too much moisture, nor should the brine be milky, and it should be free from curd. It should be waxy and not greasy in appearance. Color and salt should also be taken into account. The color most desirable is that of June butter. It may vary from a very light to a medium straw color or that pro duced by natural grass. It should not be streaked or mottled. The salt should be well dissolved and just; enough to bring out the high est flavor. The following score card will be helpful in arriving at definite scores: Flavor ._ -. 45 Body._. 2o Color. 15 Salt.'.' io Package. 5 10*0 Butter scoring 95 and above should he perfect in ail but flavor and that should be most desirable. For that scoring 93 and 94 the to tal defects other than flavor?and this must have no off or foreign flavors, not over 1-2 point. Ninety two butter can have but 1 point cut other than flavor?this must still bje good. International Printers to Gather at Gothenburg Gothenburg, Sweden, Oct. 5.? American and other master printers from all over the world will as semble in <*othenbrug. Sweden, vt the International Congress of fas ter Printers on June 4. 5. and <j of next year. The initiative in bringt j ing about this congress has heen j taken by the Swedish Master I Printers' Association, and Walde mar Zachrisson, president of th? I Association, reports th-.i' Americar^ j English, and French representa tives are among the first to accept 'the invitations. The programs for the three days call for discussif.ii of novelties in i the printing world; a comparison of 'striking national variations: the standardization, so far as possible, of methods, material, and ma chines: ways and means of im proving shop conditions: reductions of costs while assuring printers and employers fair wages and profits, an da number of other equally interesting .subject GREAT BRITAIN TO STAND FIRM Refuses to Be "Humil iated" by the Turks. Nationalists Warn ed I London, Nov. 8.?Great Britain refuses to purchase peace with the Turks at the cost of "humiliation and disgrace." Marquis Curzon, British secretary of foreign affairs, declared today in an address at the Cannon Street Hotel. The attitude of the Kemalists, reflected at their recent demand that the allied troops leave Con stantinople, will not be tolerated, he added, and he gave flat warning to the Nationalists that they will come to sure disaster if they ven ture to oppose their military pow er "to" the strength of Great Brit ain and the might of Europe." The gravity of the situation in the Near East was emphaized by Lord Curzon when he termed it "the most definite menace to the peace of the world." General opin ion, he thought, was with the new premier, Bonar Law, in his declara tion that - the work of the foreign oflice. which is largely expert, must be done by the department itself, subject to the control of the cabinet and the personal super vision of the premier. "All that the foreign office asks" declared Lord ? Curzon. "is that it should not be interfered with by irresponsible amateurism, however, brilliant it may be." "The foreign policy now," he afaded, "is the foreign policy of the British empire. * * * I lay the cardinal principal that peace can only be recovered by the common action of the principal allies who achieved the victory in the war." In another part of his address, dealing with allied solidarity, he said: * "You will only settle the repara tions and Near East questions if France, Great Britain and Italy act loyally toward each other. "What we have to do is get back to the condition of mutual esteem and re gard which existed before the war between France and ourselves. The resuscitation of that is much j more important than any written j document orNsigned pact." When is An Alligator a Harmless' Animal? Washington, Nov. 1.?When is, and when isn't, an alligator a' harmless animal, has been a much mooted question. Those who have undergone the still more or less discussed fictional adventure of the destruction in a big 'gator's switchable tail, are somewhat de cided. There are many folks who still believe a youngster is a plav ful pet that can be kept in the parlor as a chum for the baby; but one who has had even the smallest hang onto his amicably extended forefinger with the grim peristence of a steel vise, may still be firm in his belief that its best to leave 'em alone a: any age. The postoflice department, how ever, has decided that while under 'twenty inches over-all length, the I baby saurian is harmless. So are tbaby chicks, soft shelled crabs, j blood worms and chameleons.. I One may feel confident the blood j worm can be fondled with ease |and without fear of danger, and j still have his doubts also in regard I to baby terrapins, but the latter [also are classed by the depart ment as harmless, i This classification has been made by the department for the ease of I mind of hacassed postmasters I whose clients have sought to make jof their offices near-menageries. ;The mailability of live "m a i^. ?matter" is still a hazy question I among the general public, and even 'among many postmasters, the de j partment "declares, so to clear up ithe matter, a circular 'has been ?prepared to settle the question. I For more than a year live fowls idnd domestic animals were ac ceptable for mailing under a rul j ing which prescribed their hahdl |ing only when the complete jour jney was made by motor trucks, but this ruling was revoked more than a year ago. Another ap ! plying to the insurance and C. O. D. privileges of such shipments was not modified, under which regu lation a few shipments of live fowls and domestic animals have .been accepted by postmasters, j Only small live animals "having ? no offensive odor and requiring no jfood or water in transit." such as jthe ferocious animals mentioned, and their like, may be sent in the mails and insured against loss. ) Alligators up to twenty inches an* ; included in the list. Pelota in Mexico Profitable to l Promoters. I j Mexico City. Oct. 12.?The Span ish game of pelota. a combination I of handball and tennis, is easily the most popular sport in Mexico. ?This is attested by the fact that jthe promoters of the game in Mex ico will declare more than 1,000. !000 pesos in dividends from their [profits of the past 12 months. j Pelota is uninteresting unless at tended by betting and thousands of ! pesos change hands every night at the Fronton here where the games are played four nights a week. Americans and Englishmen are /?real followers of the sport which, j to the impartial observer, requires ? more skill than tennis or baseball, more endurance than football, a,. I more dexterity than handball. - m, m m The leaves art- falling from the 'trees, this is the- season of the sneeze. world m ?5 Columbia. Nov. 7.?The Indus trial Loan Bank, of Columbia, was granted a charter by the secretary of state Monday. This is a new bank for the capital city.

THE FALL SEASON ???? _ i The season of the year, known as /the Fall, is the one time of the year jwhen the results of the year's work, 'especially of the farmer, shows up I to advantage. The harvesting of the crops, the condition of the live stock, the result in mature poultry and^the- breeders for the coming I year, are alj before his eyes, and ; he is able to see and appreciate the j errors of omission or commission [of the months passed. In our own [Southland, which has been so hard .hit by the boll weevil with the re sultant loss from the cotton crop thereby, appears to be the para mount issue at hand. EJessed as we are with fertile .lands, favorable climate, natural |r?"*r/ rces and conditions we under stand, we have no cause to be downhearted. The losses of the ?past few years should be exper ience purchased, though''dearly, and should be the stimulus to greater 'effort in diversification of crops and products, that will emancipate the southern farmer from the one-crop and one-pay system of farming. " The strides we have made in ?dairying, live stock and grain shows j the same willingness to do that has 'always kept the southern agricul' j'turist in the foreground as a pro ducer. I Scientifis poultry culture and ? knowledge of the business in a gen feral way will also be a means of jd?using many dollars, to stay at home that are now senfaway for iproduce that is a reflection upon our section. With our climate and I'fifroper knowledge of the industry v?e should be able to supply not ;Only our own needs but the needs of the north with poultry-products. The old harem-scarem - method of letting- a chicken do as'they please 'and 'cuss em when they don't lay, Will never make them a paying en terprise.

THE END OF "THE VIRGINIAN." Washington Minister Talks of The Original of Owen Wister's Char acter. * ! (Ruth Elizabeth Sheldon in The j Portland Oregonian). j Owen Wister's novel. "The Vir Iginian," had a happy ending, but I the life story of the man who was ! the original of that famous fiction I character was tragical, according j to Rev. H. J. Gurr, Episcopal jrector of Spokane, Washington. jMr. Gurr said* he was personally jaquainted with Milton Storey, the Virginian of real life, and officiat ed at his burial not long ago at Winthrop, .Washington. It was at Winthrop that the minister met jOwen Wister's model for his gen Jtleman cowboy. I Of "The Virginian," Mr. Gurr has [this to say: "He was a man about j"i feet 10 and came from New Jer jsey to the cattle country up in the ! Methow country. He was of fine i physique, courteous and obliging to ja fault. He supported the church j freely, but he himself never came i to church. He married a woman in whom finally he had no faith, j and toward the last was in con stant fear of his life by her. Through this he would at intervals, give way to drink. *He finally was strickened with apoplexy, during the last days of which I helped to nurse him. His end came after a spell of worry, j He was found unconscious in the basement of the Methow trading store. Three days later he recov ered his mentality sufficienlty to press-one's hand in recognition, but j was paralyzed from speech or j movement. He was a line scholar j and had a brigh: mind, bu*. miss >d |the opportunities that might have been his." Owen Wister wrote of this mcst famous and beloved character of fiction: "Sometimes readers inquire, 'l id [you know the Virginian?' As well, j I hope as a father should know i his son. And sometimes it ;s ask ed, 'Was such and such a thing [true? Now to this I have the best answer in the world. * * ? But ht will never come again. He rides in his historic yesterday.

Chinese School of Journalism Institution to Be Established to Train Chinese Journalists China is to have, a school of journalism. Incidentally, not a school of yellow journalism as might he inferred from the fact that it is to be established in China, but one which is designed to instruct the youth of China in the best methods of the progres sive, up-to-the-minute, informative I and thought-stimulating newspa- j pers of the United States. , | 'Maurice E. VotaW, formerly of! the department of journalism. Mis- j souri University, is en route to Shanghai where he will- organize j in St. John's Episcopal 'University-' the first School of Journalism that has ever been known in the land | of Confucius. 'In connection" with j the** course a weekly paper already j established and known as The Dial | will be published by the native stu dents. In a recent- letter from Rev. F. L. Hawk.es Pott, D. D.. president J of St. John's the motive in estab- j ? lishing this school of journalism! ! is set forth. I "While public opinion is in the i {stage of formation in China," he j I says, "the importance of good journalism becomes apparent. In j the courses of journalism we are undertaking to train our young j men so that they may know how to influence public opinion in the rights way." ; St. John's University particularly, i {is interested in this phase of mis jsionary "effort in China because it ) is becoming more land more iden | tified with the national life of the Chinese people. Since its founda tion by the old Board of Missions j of the Episcopal Church in 1879, it has taken a leading ' part in the training of Chinese officials. Three of the four Chinese delegates to the Washington Conference on'Arma ' ments were St. John's graduates. I The majority of the experts and advisers attached to the Chinese delegation were also from that Unir verity, and more than half of them were Christians. Several members of the present Chinese Cabinet are St. John's men, and in almost ev ' er field of Chinese official life its graduates are at work, j Rev. Arthur Mason Sherman, [who for over twenty years has i been in the service of the Episco I pal church in China as a mis sionary, and is now 4in the states j on - furlough, points out that the presence of so many St. John's 1 graduates among the men who are j doing the most enlightened wbrk'in jthe rehabilitation of China, is it Jself a refutation of the charge j made<in reactionary circles that the 'Christian missionary movement is j aimed at the destruction of China's j nationality: and is likewise" a vin jdication of the Episcopal Mission j ary^ policy of building up an en | lightened group of Chinese Chris | tians who will patriotically, and on a basis of Christfan ?citizenship, ! elevate China to a position among the self-dependent nations of the world. Dr. Pott's plan through the course in journalism which is to be iristi j tuted at St. John's, is to instruct ^.the youth of China in the ways of ; fearless, independent journalism j which will co-operate with the .graduates of St. John's in public ' I life in China in the work which ; they have undertaken. >!

Chicago, Nov. 2.?To awaken the conscience and intelligence of people of the Protestant Episcopal church to the needs set out in the program adopted at the Portland General Convention, thereby raising the average of regular giving throughout the communion, is the main object in view in the na tion-wide campaign to .be conduct ed wholly within the ranks of the church, according to a statement by Chicago headquarters of the de nomination. Results of the campaign in the three years now closing encourage church leaders in the belief that the ensuing jhree years will be \ equally successful, says the state ment, quoting the secretary of the field department. "In the eighty-eight dibceses of the church in the United States the work of informing our people of the convention program and ex plaining the educational methods to the leaders, already is going for ward," continues ? the statement.
