Washington, Dec. 27.?The death ite in the Untied States among baes of mothers who work outside ' ieir homes far exceeds the infant ortality where the mother is not so nployed. The annual report today of the Fed- 1 ral children's bureau shows an aver- < ife infant death rate of 134 out of rery 1,000 babies in a steel-making nd coal-mining town, as against a i ite of 84 out of every 1,000 in a resi?ntial suburb. An even greater eon'ast is found between the most conested sections and the choicest resisntial section in each of these two 1 tmmunities. The report adds that it is impossible 1 ? determine the relative importance ' ' the high death rate among babies ' ' working mothers until it is ascerlined how many mothers work in in- ] istry. ( The need of developing standards of 1 iral child welfare, physical standards 1 tr children in industry and stondor/to 1 ' law for the protection of all chil- J en are emphasized. m < OAST DEFENSE AND BATTLE- I SHIPS. j c The fear that congress will con- ? lme much very valuable time in fule expressions of "views" of prearedness, rather than in sober con- J deration of the problem of how to ropare most wisely, grows upon us 3 we think of the expressions of ^ rank Mondell of Wyoming, who delated last Friday that the country's sal need is not battleships, but coast efense. We have about 2,200 miles of coast 1 n the Atlantic and Pacific sides of ur nation, which are dotted about dth defenses designed to protect our 1 ibre important seaports, but such arbor defenses, though they be unurpassed for armaments, are not lanned for the pi-otection of stretches f coast which lie between these 1 oints. Mr. Mondell has not, peraps, figured on the cost of a conlAuous fortification covering all these ,200 miles in length. If we are to t et ourselfes to the task of prevent- 1 lg the invasion of an enemy at every < ossible landing place along our coasts J rhich would be both economical and t re should surely work out a plan rhich would be bot heconomical and t ffetcive. Even a man from Wyoming 1 ught to realize that battleships can ( love about, while fortifications must < smain each in its own place. The New York Times figures it that > rely upon Mr. Mondell's scheme rould necessitate the building of formations similar to those which als^dy protect our leading seaports, at bout \*n miles apart along the whole of our-coasts. This \ Sld^tnean about t2,2(ro fortifications ?V oe equipped and manned. "The )?t of our present defenses, melodic those in our present defenses, inluding those in our oversea possesions, has been about $175,000,000. rig. Gen. Weaver, chief of the coast rtillery, estimates in his annual reort that to man these works on this antinent 29,847 men of the regular rmy and 940 officers, together with 7,320 militiamen and 711 officers, are ceded. How many men would be equired to man Mr. Mondell's 2,200 aast forts, how much would they ast, and how long would it take to instruct them?" But, though we need not let Mr. londell's extreme views of the imortance of ..oast defenses lead us to iiort measuring our allowance in bateships, it would be well to rememer that there is certainly need of a reater number of defenses along the lore sparsely settled sections of the iuntry which open to the sea. To the common saying that wo eed no such defenses on the Atlantic aast south of Hatteras, and that the thers we have are adequate for any mergency thev mav hove t.r? mwt he Times thinks that Gen. Weaver's ( sport makes a response that will ' luse a change of opinion. The Times concludes its considera- 1 on of this subject by saying that the general opinion of the country ' ill be that we need all our coast demses and tha tthey should be kept ( p. The need of a larger navy and 1 r.obile army of effective strength is f nperative, but these can not be ifely obtained at the expense of the ? last artillery." We do not think this goes far n0U!?h. While we will undoubtedly ( ed battleships and a larger mobile rmy. we will also need to dot in a >w more defenses on the coasts, j he one-idea man has his place in le plan of Democracy, notwir.listandig the fact that he consumes time fr. Mondel will never succeed in see- v ig both coasts of this country b*~r- s pred with a continuous line of coast 0 pfenses, but he may suvc"".! in p/inkling some extra forti.i. r.tions J /er our coasts which will un lo.jot ;1' be of val ;e to our preparedness ' ogram.?Savannah P-e.is. * PRESIDENT'S BIRTHDAY. t n ow Nation's Executive Spent Ilia ^ 59th Anniversary.

Well Know Renn Reliev Important to Dispose of Waste Ft-om the Stomach With Reg ularity. People frequently attribute to failure of the digestive organs conditions that are primarily due to inactive bowels, and apply remedies that from their very nature are more apt to aggravate than to relieve the disorder. When the bowels act regularly the stomach is in better shape to perform its allotted task and can usually be depended upon. To keep the bowels in condition there is no more effective remeay tnan tne combinations of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is sold in drug: stores for fifty cents a bottle. Dr. Caldwell has prescribed this remedy in his practice for over a ^uafter of a century and i't is today the standard household remedy in thousands of homes. Mr. Thos. DeLoach, with the Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, at Washington, wrote Dr. Caldwell recently that "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best laxative I have any knowledge of and the cleaning: up guaranteed by its use relieves every irgan."
