Right much of the golden weed has

There- was a 27,000 pound sale here that
brought $6,300.00, which is recognized
as an extra high average for an entire

Feeding Babies
Does it pay to feed babies on the
breast or bottle? Here are seme inter
esting figure*, ; During; the seige of
Paris in 1870-71 the city milk sapplv
failed and mothers were compelled to
nurse their babies. The death rate
among babies tell from 330 to 170 per
1000 births. In England during the
Lancashire cotton famiae mothers re
mained at home and nursed their
babies, and there resultsd an even
greater saving of infant life. Wher
ever mothers nurse their babies it' is
found that the breast fed baby has six
chances of living where the bottle baby
has oae.

Lieutenant William Willis Buddie,
who has recently been retired from

consideration of the Source from
whcoce these blessings c?me, and a
feeling of thanksgiving is thereby en
gendered for the goodness of our
Heavenly Father, we feel that this is
the best tim? to bring to the attention
of four readers the needs of the vari
ous oiphan homes in our State, where
the little ones who have lost their
earthly protecters are being cared for
and trained.
These children receive the -great
blessing of these homes through your
generosity. They are dependent, upon
you. Theii numbers are increasing,
as are the advantages they receive,
which necessitate larger c-ontiibutions
from the people. God has bLessed- our
people and he cxpects us in turn to
help bless our homeless little ones.
Nobly haye the people of North Car

the Parama Canal: Who >8 buildng
it?" One of the teachers gave this
a?swer: "It is in North America and
G?\ernor Kitchin is building it." Could
any man ask for a greater praise from
the people over whom he rul?s.??
