MOST people know this absolute tatidote for pain, but are you careful to say Bayer when you buy it? And do you always give a glance to see Bayer on the box—and the word genuine printed in red? It isn't the genuine Bayer Aspirin without it! A drugstore always has Bayer, with the proven directions tucked in every box: Giving Pa a Chance Street Orator (talking on the rights of a father)—There should be only one head in each family!

Ifow MuchWater Should Baby Get? ‘'A Famous Authority’s Rule “Tiy Ruth Brittain % y f A ~ Baby specialists agree nowadays, that during the tirst six months, babies must have three ounces of fluid per pound of body weight daily. An eight pound baby, for Instance, needs twen ty-four ounces of fluid. Later on Hie rule Is two ounces of fluid per pound of body weight. The amount of fluid absorbed by a breast-fed baby is best determined by weighing him before anil after feeding for the whole day; and it is easily calculated for the bot tle-fed one.

And ignorance brooded o’er earth like a pall; To the sceptre and crown men abased them in terror. Though galling the boridage, and bitter the thrall; When a voice, like the earthquake’s, revealed the dishonor— A flash, like the lightning's un sealed every eye. And o’er hilltop and glen floated liberty’s banner, While round it men gathered to con quer or die! ’Twas the voice of the Press, on the startled ear breaking, In giant-bom prowess, like Pallas of old; Twas the flash of intelligence, glori ously waking A glow on the cheek of the noble and bold; And tyranny’s minions, o’erawed and affrighted, Sought a lasting retreat from its powerful control. And the chains which bound na tions in ages benighted, Were cast to the haunts of the bat and the mole. Then hail to the Press! chc*en guardian of Freedom! Strong sword-arm of justice! bright stmbeam of truth; We pledge to her awse, (and she has but to nee(l them), The strength of our manhood, the fire of our youth; Should despots e’er dare to Impede her free soaring, Or bigot to fetter her flight with his chain, We pledge that the earth shall close o’er our deploring. Or view her in gladness and free dom again. But no!—to the day-dawn of knowledge and glory, A far brighter moontlde—refulgence succeeds; And our art shall embalm, through all ages. In story, Her champion who triumphs—her martyr who bleeds; And proudly her sons shall recall their devotion, While millions shall listen to honor and bless, Till there bursts a response from the heart’s strong emotion, And the earth echoes deep with “Long Life to the Press!” —By Horace Greeley. An “Intelligent” Clock. From the Pathfinder. What is said to be the most in telligent clock on earth was recently Invented by Frank Fontana, a San Francisco Jeweler. The unique time piece not only tells the time in San Francisco and 23 other cities at the same time, but it also gives the moon phase, date and day. Although tije entire click is only 18 by 18 inches square it contains something like 500 separate parts, most of which are in plain view. It took the inventor seven months to build the clock. A aearly as the 18th century It was vifty common practice for clocks to be equipped to tell, be sides t]|f time, the month the day of thefjnonth, phases of the moon, etc. But for some reason the prac tice did not become general. Not withstanding, the modern “prince of clocks'' holds the record of all time In the number of performances. — - -- New Dangers in Europe. “It Is impossible to deny the ex istence of danger of a new catas trophe In Europe, from which, if it (alls, European culture may or may not emerge," said Dr. Josef Schum peter, former Austrian finance min ister.

A study of the cost of the World War in human lives has just been published under the auspices of a committee of the League of Nations. Only the gross totals are as yet available in the dispatches. For all the nations involved the loss in lives is placed at 37,000,000. This enormous figure is obtained by including the decrease in births as a result of the war, amounting to nearly 21,000,000. That there would have been that number more today if the war had not coine is not to be denied. Nevertheless, a word which is steadily moving toward voluntary limitation of population will not be any where so greatly impressed by the lives that failed to come into being as by the actual men and women who fell in the dread harvest. But it is obviously proper to add to some thing like 10,000,000 casualties in the field another 6,000,000 civilian deaths induced by war privations. Sixteen million lives, then, would be the price paid by all th<j peoples for th# colla'pse of 1914. Nevertheless, it is open to any devil’s advocate of war among the nations to argue that there is one thing even more costly than international wars, and that is civil war. This has been proved in the case of one country which has undergone both forms of blood-letting. Russia’s war dead were esti mated toward the end of 1924 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace at 2,762,000. Shortly after this the British Labor Delegation to Soviet Russia reported on the costs of the revolution, the civil war and siihsenuent events* “It is reckoned that 6,500,000 lives were lost from casualties in the fighting (Denikin’s offensive, and c.), disease and infant mortality; finally, the famine of 1921 and 1922 carried away 5,000,000 men, women and children, bring ing the total recorded losses in Russia during eight years nearly up to 15.000,000.” Of this number, one fifth was due to the World War and four fifths to the Bolshevist Revolution and the events that came in its wake. The British Labor figures are corro borated from other sources. Russia’s population before the war was 182,000,000. The states that broke away from Rus sia after the war had a population of slightly over 30,000,000. The population of Russia in 1919 should thus have been 152, 000,000. Actually a Soviet estimate in 1924 placed it at 134, 000,000. There had thus disappeared from the present soil of Soviet Russia something like 18,000,000 souls, of which the war dead and the refugees might possibly account for 5, 000,000. The rest would be the cost of civil war and of a famine with which the country could not cope because of the demoralization induced by the civil war. One of the circumstances that play into the hands of the war-minded is the fact that the ravages of war disappear so quickly. Germany lost nearly 2,000,000 men killed and 6, 4*75,000 people in territory ceded. Yet. in 1925 Germany in her curtailed territory was less than 2,000,000 people short of her 65,000,000 inhabitants in 1911, Great Britain in 1921 had 1,800,000 more people than she had iu 1911. France alone has failed to make up for her war ravages. Tn 1926 she had 1,250,000 more inhabitants than she had in 1911, but these included Alsace-Lorraine with about 1,800,000, leav ing an actual war deficit of more than 500,000 lives. ties over “mal-administration’’ in Tyrol by Italy had caused the re call of the Italian Mussolini. Anger over Italy’s attempts to Italianize the Austrian population of the ceded portions of the Tyrol has been growing in Austria for years. Hungary has scrapped and sold the arms seized at St. Gothard some weeks ago, defying the League, which wished to examine them to see if they were shipments in viola tion of the treaty. What shall the League do about it? Italy opposed investigation, Hungary destroyed and made away with the evidence. If the League cannot effectively supervise armaments in the Balk ans, how shall it do so in Germany? The league is likely to overlook the smuggling of arms in this instance and proceed under the provisions of the covenant providing for an in agam we can frank.y indulge our admirable and wholesome appetites Acknowledgment Is due Mr ansaon and another Artie explorer For 24 days (hey ate nothing but meat Btefansson. who was badly overweight when the experiment started. sot ,1d of the surplus His associates' experience was similarly gratifying.

Lizard Scares Foes by Display of Ruff Out in Australia, the home of the kangaroo and a lot of other curious animals, there is a peculiar lizard, ap parently Impressed with the truth of the maxim that an enemy scared and chased uwuy is an enemy less to tight today. And there's nothing like a good bluff, anyway—if it works, says the Baltimore Sun. To frighten Its foes away this reptile has developed a most remarkable growth of skin on its neck, ordinarily hanging In loose folds but capable of being erected Into a wide f. ill or ruff very like those of the days of Good Queen Bess, and It Is colored red on the surfaces which show from the front when It is stand ing out around the head and neck. As If all this was not enough the lizard also walks or runs on his hind feet, holding his forelegs up in the air. We may hazard a guess that he bor rowed the system from the kangaroos, but if he did he forgot to lend them the ruff in return. Just how terrifying all this Is to the natural enemies of the frilled lizard we are unable to say, but If we look at his picture In the books we must at least admit that it makes him appear sufficiently un attractive.
