‘'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. Then make up any de
ficiency witli water.
(Jiving baby sulllcient water often
relieves his feveri-’h, crying, upset and
restless spells. If it doesn't, give him
a few drops of Fletcher’s Castoria.
For these and other ills of babies and
children such as colic, cholera, diar
rhea, gas on stomach and bowels*, con
stipation, sour stomach, loss of sleep,
underweight, etc., leading physicians
say there’s nothing so effective. It Is
purely vegetable—the recipe is on the
wrapper—and millions of mothers
have depended on it In over thirty
years of ever Increasing use. It regu
lates baby’s bowels, mukes him sleep
and eat right, enables him to get full
nourishment from his food, so he in
creases in weight as lie should. With
each package you get a book on Moth
erhood worth its weight in gold.
Just a word of caution. Look for
the signature of Ohas. II. Fletcher on
the package so you’ll be sure to get
the genuine. The forty-eeut bottles

THE PRESS.
Long slumbered the world In the
darkness of error.
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.

League of Nations Committee Gets
*)ut Report on Losses in World War
From tha New York Times.
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.

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.
