The time you spend, the steps you take and the work you do in pumping and hauling water is useless and wasteful. Run ning water is as easy to have installed as it is easy to run after it is installed. Western Electric Water Systems These systems are the most approved type automatically run and controlled by electricity- a little motor runs the pump a control device automatically starts and stops the running of th? pump.

Postum Cereal must be boiled fully fifteen minutes after boiling begins, to develop its full, rich flavor. There's a Reason" for Postum Made by POSTUM CEREAL COMPANY Battle Creek, Mich. uj - V..i. tliT-ee months we have been SU gesting through this magazine that wo ; men cease bearing children for five years -rliaf is. until the world, most of which ! is disorganized industrially and financial ' 1 1- vloill hnve hnd time to right itself ; in one way or another. The sugges tion has received wide miblicity in the i daily press, and most of that publicity lms been favorable. It has been discus- ' sed from platforms, as well as in pri vate and in small gatherings. Some of : !, ,iiMiinn from the platform has feeo nnfr iendlv to a degree, some of it pronouncedly antagonistic. Many letter. ' and verbal comments from thinking peo ple win. are aware of the actual trend of -vorld affairs have conformed tin .uiMi-'im tlinf- a cessation of births for a 1 .cried of a few years will not only sav an unimaginable amount of misery, and I'ivo xneietv a chance to lut its house in order, but that such a step is a prinn necessity in our present situation. l-'.vi.rvwliere in America the talk ot a financial panic is growing. It may not come within a few months or within the vcar. as predicted by li. C. Marten-, whose series of interviews have appear ed in those columns, but the very fact that it is expected and that it is feared mi I'vi'tf side, means that it is inevita ble. And that means industrial paraly sis, unemployment and want. AVit hiu a few days after The llirfh Control Review published one of the Martens interviews, predicting a shor tage of farm products in the I'nited States I epartiiient of Agriculture isucd a statement in which it made substan tially the same prediction tor the com ing year. The report, based upon infor mation gathered throughout the country, said that there was a serious risk of reduced food production. And this when l-.urope is starving and America is con stantlv being called upon to send food either as a gift or upon credit. The financial crisis, which Speaker JiI!ette of the national house of repre sentatives savs is to be the worst m history." and the altogether probable food shortage of next year, are enougl in themselves to make every thinking mother refrain from bringing more chil dren into the world until the situation is stabilized. But such condition? those mentioned bring in their train others which are worse the paralysis of industry and hunger among the ma es. Meanwhile the i nited States is not taking proper care of the children al ready here. In sav nothing of the two or three million child laborers, the htm dreds who are perpetually undernourish ed and the vast amount of preventable disease that is at all times with us. new factors and situations are coming to j light.

There is no mistaking the sincere and enthusiastic endorsement accorded it on every hand. The same generous approval has been bestowed upon it by those who admire its beauty of body line as by those who place emphasis upon its many other qualities notably luxuriousness, sturdiness and general mechanical excellence. Powered with the same six'Cylinder motor which has always given such universal satisfaction, this smart seven'passenger continues to win increasing favor. It is known to be remarkably smooth'running as well as unusually economical for its power and size.

The sensible mother wnl liave no more until condition better. The soundness of the plan to curtail Irths until world affairs are sufficient- stabilized to give, a better nrosoecr ; of providing for children, is being at tested by a number of facts, most of which are being brought to light by per- ; sons who become panicky every time j the birth rate shows signs of going down. Speakers are beginning to clamor for i more births in the United States, which ! is a good indication that a considerable percentage of the mothers have decided ' to bring no more children into being tin- til the newcomers can be well cared for ! France, officially and unofficially, is mak- ! ing a tremendous campaign, with lion- y uses and whatnot for mothers, in a thus i far futile effort to induce women to 1 usher children into the disordered world.
