of the historic facta of which ought

It la a historic fact that the first
American flag auch as we have ever

Rosa, but precisely what credit be

REARING CHILDREN BV RULE.
' A Chicago physician has promul
gated another set of scientific rules
for rearing children. . I
Ordinarily thla la the self-imposed
task of unmarried ladles of uncertain
age and confirmed bachelors, but oc
casionally when business Is dull a
medical practitioner will tackle the
problem, says the Cincinnati Times-
Star, i
The code set forth may be briefly
summarized in the single warning:
Don't coddle the child." Good ad-
Vice, no doubt. But the mistake
made by moat of the scientific rule
makers Is that they do not differen
tiate between children and vegetables.
The principles Involved In the suc
cessful cultivation of cabbages or
string beans may be codified and
followed with more or less success,
due allowance being made for differ
ences of soil and climate. But when
It comes to following hard and faat
rules in the rearing of children
that's quite another matter. No two

:t SIMPLY A SHOUT.
Those who shout that the high coat
of living would become a thing of
the past If the tariff should be revised
" again never go Into details to explain
how such a result could be brought
about. Perhaps their Idea of revision
la to do away with the tariff alto
gether.
. That secured, the cost of living
might be reduced through the Inabil
ity of those who want to live to meet
their wants. A general reduction In
wages brought about by a flood of
foreign-made goods, for Instance,
would cheapen the workers, and thus
naturally cheapen what they had to
buy. If somebody should present
riractical echeme of tariff revision,
thai would result la the cheapening
of what the people had to buy without
bringing about a corresponding
cheapening of those who work, no
doubt It would result In something
beneficial.

committee, and probably by Washing
ton himself, was the substitution of
the stars In the corner for the Union
Jack, the committee retaining Put
nam's stripes In place of the red field.
The design was submitted to Betsy
Ross to make a flag. Mrs. Ross'
contribution was simply the changing
of the stars from six-pointed to five
pointed and putting the whole de
sign together. The distinction aa to
the points of the stars Is that the
nix-pointed star Is in reality em
blematic In French heraldry of the
spur of knighthood, while the em-j

star of the heavens, certainly a noble
distinction and difference where

CHURCH VS. CARD CLUBS.
Lawrence Journal: The Journal
is glad to see the churches putting
special stress on their social func
tions. A church is as much a'soclal
organisation as religious. . At a meet
ing of an organization of the Metho-J
diet church of this city the ther day
the attendance waa 63. It was as
much of a reception as M cards had
been issued and the guests Invited in
the usual, way. But It was much
better. It was a meeting thrown
open to the ladles and they came to
gether in a way that made good fel
lowship possible. The churches have
had their young people's societies
for some time but they have sort of
neglected the older members. Wo
men In consequence hare found their
society at card cluba and formal re
ceptions It Is better to have the
churchea do thla work and It Is work
In which the highest Ideal of church
life can be furthered. , -
