endurance contest says
To the public:
It is just as I have said all along, there is but
o?ie test of an automobile that is, the hurry up, on
the roadthe sands, the hills
Not a slow gait
Not a snail's pace
But a pace that jostles bolts in a common cat
that dismantles seats, breaks springs, damages axles
a killing pace a pace in which ordinary cars can
not live.
With pai'donable pride I commend to your
favor the Franklin the winner of the 400-mtle
endurance contest the winner over 30 cars all
sold in this market, a?id all called
good. Guy L. Smith,
Far nam Street.
Model D, five-passenger, 28-h. p., $2,800. Other four and Bix-cTnder models $1,750 to $5,000.

Hut the babies are coming Into their

Europe and in England, royal commissions

cording to the conservation report, his or
her value, at birth is $110. By the time he
has reached the age ot S years his net
worth is $900 and by the time he Is 30 his
value is $4,100. After that his net value
begins to decline and at E0, It Is $2,900,
while at 80 it Is $700. Hjese figures repre
sent the capitalization of the earning power
of the individual. Iu the case of the baby,
the $90 represents the discounted value of
his future earnings, taking Into account,
also, the rost of the care given him until
he Is able to look out for himself, and the
cost of the care which may have to be
accorded him in old age.
Fifteen Per Cent Die in lnfnnpr.
It Is estimated that about Z.&00.000 babies
were born In the United States last year,
and that 375.000, or IB per cent of that num
ber died within the year. To find the
value In dollars and cents of this appalling
lots of human life you "Orily have to mul
tiply 90 by 375,000. It amounts to $3,376,000.
Add to this an average of $25 a piece spent
for medical care and other attention and
you pile a few mora millions on to the
total loss.
Physicians who have gone straight to the
heart of the matter, believe that 60 per
cent, if not more, of this tremendous waste
of life could be prevented. They fix the
blame partly on social condiMons and partly
on the Indifference or negligence of health
officials, Thoy declare that the problem
could b solved by the registration of,
births, and, in connection with that, the
instruction of the mothers In the proper
care of the babies; the enforcement of the
regulations which prevent the contamina
tion of the fond and the water supply and
; of those which secure Improved housing
j conditions, with an adequate supply of
fresh air and sunlight for rich and poor
alike. Theae physicians who work among
tho babies say that If a pestilence were to
carry off only one-tenth as many babies
as die from the "ordinary" illnetaes every
year, the entire country would clamor tor
remedial measures, liut people are used
to seeing the little hearses on the atreet
and nobody gets excited over them.
Baby's Vitality Greater Than Aaalt'a.
There is another feature tnat emphasises
the extravagance of this waste of baby
life. When an adult recovers from an 111
neh. It usually leaves him with lowered
vita'ity. A baby's recuperative powers are
much greater. A Imby may be drugged
down to ileal h's very iliior liv summer
complaint, but the difc-ase leaves no weuk
euing hHtulicap. If he rei oven he is likely
to be In the iiiiiniiix the next ear for
the prize for the plumpest, healthiest
youngster in the baby show.

States government to (rotect cattle from
disease counts up into the millions, iias-

ally has been sanctioned at the beginning
because Important commercial interests
were at stake. When a public health meas
ure was up for discussion in an Indiana
legislature recently one of the legislators
said that he had been requested over and
over again by his constituents to vote for
laws to protect hogs from cholera and
trees from scale, but he had never before
been asked to vote for a measure to pro
tect women and children from preventable
disease.
Since the world began the crop of babies
has been fairly constant. The quality of
the crop; the diseases that have carried off
hundreds of thousands every year have
never caused the slightest flutter ot the
stock market. Commercially considered,
the American chick has loomed up much
larger in financial calculations than the
American baby. But the baby la a poten
tial American citizen. And since he has
been officially recognized as a national re
source It becomes a national duty to pro

and to give htm the chance that is tila'due

when the nations beyond the seas find
Instruction and delight In the same ex
hibition there must be something excep

its features. This is explained by the fact
that the exhibition of life In the old now
past far west is real, actual and true.
Realism here found Its highest type In re
flection through the simple and faithful
methods that Colonel Cody conceived and
executed genuineness of people no tinsel
no clap-trap.
While bringing this year his Wild West
with several new numbers he has added t
fresh Interest by forming what is really an
epitome of the races nf the world.
Tlioueands have seen the Wild West and
the Great Far East separately, but now one
can renew acquaintance with those wonder
ful exhibitions of the human race from
throughout the universe together. Colonel
W. F. Cody and Major Gordon Llllle have
combined their forces In order to give the
untraveled a comprehensive understanding
and knowledge of the many aspects of tho
human race as It, exists In the east, west,
south and nortb.for they have collected a
