Trying out the Church. Rnfland ill puzulng at the problem of farms and homes for her crippled moldien when the wmr is over—farm* and homes of their very own. The only practicable plan that oc curs to Roland E. Peothero, who heads the English board of Agriculture, is for the Church of England to surren der her glebe and tithe lands to the government on some fair of transfer. If, for a purpose like this, the Church of England voluntarily gives up her vast er.tate of lands and rents, it will evidence real religion down to the marrow, because she will be sur rendering chief source of financial support. The Established Church owns 650, 000 acres of land outright—her glebe lands; and the rent income from this aource is two and a half million dollars a year. But her tithes and rents on lands controlled by the church und farmed by leasehold tenants amount to 186 million dollars a year. It is too much to expect the pri vat* landlords of fciigland to sell land on any just basis to the crippled he roe* of the Kingdom—and by the way fewer than six thousand such land lords own more than four-fifths of the land of England; but maybe the Es tablished Church has religion enough to do it, thinks Mr. Prothero. Maybe so and maybe not. Here is the crux of the probata of Disestab lishment, now and always. The Church of England is lord of a vast «atate. It U ore of the two or three mat conspicuous examples of feuda liam left in Euglund today. And its end as a state church, supported by ground rents mainly, is in sight. The children's game of club-fist is English, and Take i» off or Knock it off, is the English way of winding up Bioat games, when the end comes. "Sell what thou hast and give to the poor," tried oat the spirit of the young man the Maater loved. And so It will try out the spirit ol the Church of England at some early UNCLE SAM'S NEW BABY FARM HERE DESCRIBED.

It'a all ovar tba country, tba antira Unitod IKataa ia every bona whara a naW baby ia apreading happineaa Aad line la Ham ia running it from tba rhildren'a bu raau at Washington attth many a kindly word of advice no that tha bundrad thousand babiea will grow up to haalth and happineaa, who otharwiaa might And tha world too much for tham. Do you know that tha child ran'a bureau haa dlacovered that it 1* thraa timaa aa dangaroua to ba a baby aa it ia to be a roldier un tha Aring line? There arc only four deatha per jraar in the allied armies oat of wary hun dred man engaged, riut in the Unitad States, twelve babiea out of every hundred die in that same year. No wonder the government haa made up tta mind to nave this big part of the "nation of tomorrow." Let's see how they go about it. Of course, the must important thing of all is the baby's feeding. Babies were intended to live—not to die, and if they get a chance they grow up and bloom as naturally as a healthy flow er. So Uncle Sam issues a bulletin telling mothers how to feed babies and the mothers who follow his instruc tions are doing their big part for the nation. You know that babies moat have milk in some form, but ordinary milk as it comes to the door is not always safe. Often it contains dangerous germs. Even if it is clean, it is hard for the baby to digest. The Milk Bulletin says that milk in powder form is very good for habiea because those hard-to-digest curds are broken up in the process of manufacture. If you take milk in powder form and add to it cereal and sugar in just the right proportions you have what is almost an ideal food for babiea, and this is the form tak en by some of the best prepared baby foods sold in every drug store in the country. Uncle Sam want* mothers to un derstand the. difference between the prepared baby food which it made out of milk in its powdered form, and the other kind to which milk must be added. If you have to add milk to your baby food, you are running all the dangers of milk itself and going to an unnecessary expense. The big baby farm that stretches all over the nUited States has as its capable helpers—first the doctors— second, the retail druggists who give so much valuable advice to worried mothers—and third the mothers them selves. All three are working far better, healthier babies. And as a re sult, down will go the infant mortali ty—fewer babies will die— and a hun dred thousand homes will be made happy which would otherwise be des olate. The advanc« in scientific knowledge which will save these hundred thous and babies in one of the blessedest things in the whol* world. Think what it means to a mother to be able to go into a drugstore and get not only sane and sensible advice on how to feed her baby but also the food it self, as exactly adapted to her baby's needs as if it were made up by the greatest baby specialists in the world. Do your part in helping Uncle Sam with his baby farm. Pass the word along that fctf^right food is the one most essential thing for a baby's health. If you have a baby, or if you know of a baby, who is not growing and training weight as he should, probably his food is at fault. Find out from your druggirt what baby food is com plete in itself made out of milk—get the government bulletin on the csr« and feeding of children. The nation is wide awake to sav ing its babies. They are the United States of tomorrow. Kanaaa City Star.

"The wMk commencing June 3rd. ia to be "Crder Early" week, with the Fact administration nod every on ia requested to All oat the application card and let the o«w der be on Ala bo that it can be counted ia when we maka requisition on Mr. Lorill, fual administrator for what ton nage wa naad. I might mention tha fact that we have several rarda, amounting t oabout tan can that do not want any coal until early Fall. To thoaa who have Alad cards asking for delivery later in the saaaon I wish to suggest that they have tham changed to road "at once" aa it ia a more than probability that later there will ba no coal for domeotie uses, , I have letter on Ale adviaing that 90 par cent of our zona coal is being used by the Railway Co.. and the com mandeer orders from the government call for more thaa the balance of 20 per cent From this you can sea that aa a dealer we cannot get a pound of coal from any of our shippers. The Fuel Administration, as I understand the matter will see that the coal ordered during the coming week is supplied but beyond that I cannot five any promises, for I do not know just exactly what the plans of the adminis tration will be in regard to seeing that this coal comes to hand. I wish to again impress upon everyone who has filed a card that the fact of filing the card does not guarantee the coal nor the price. Each and every car will set its own price according to the mine from which it is shipped as the prices at the mines vary as much as 75 cents per ton and all coal after June 25th will be advanced approxi mately 65 cents per ton by the increase in freight rates. For the reason above set and not knowing from ' wherewe will get our coal one can readily see that we cannot say, "Yes coal will be 18.00 per ton," or any other figure, but you can rest assured that for every card on Ale we will make all efforts possible to supply the coal, and will deliver the coal at exactly the price the Fuel Administration tells us to charge. Place your order with some one who is a regular dealer and will be supplied with the fuel by the Govern ment so that proper requisitions can be made in the re quired form, and DO IT NOW not tomorrow.
