Declining to include in the-platform
any reference to the prohibition- isu,
the Democratic convention rejected
yesterday both the bone dry plank
fathered by William Jennings Bryan
and the cider, wine and beer plank pre
sented by the New York delegation.
The Bryan prohibition plank rejected
by the convention was as follows:
"Ve heartily congratulate the Dem
ocratic party on its splendid leadership
in the submission and ratification of
the prohibition amendment to the fed
eral constitution and we pledge the
party to the strict enforcement of the
present enforcement law, honestly and
in good faith, without any increase in
the alcoholic content of permitted bev
erages and without any weakening of
any other of its provisions." The vote
on the Bryan plank was 929y, no;
155 Vi yes; eight absent or not voting.
Hobson's prohibition substitute was
beaten without a roll call, as was tne
Cochran wine and beer plank.
William Jennings Bryan with one of
his old time speeches in support of a
bone dry plank for the Democratic
platform, turned the convention almost
upside down late in the afternoon with
the magnetism and force of his ora
tory and started one of the greatest
and noisiest demonstrations the assem
bly has yet seen. When Bryan had
concluded his reply to toe aavocaies
of a wet plank the demonstration cutj
loose on the floor and wholly unaided
by the band or the organ or any of
the other instrumentalities which had
been effectively used to keep other
demonstrations going, it proceeded
spontaneously and resisted nil efforts
to get the convention back to order.
Bryan standing smiling in the lime
light at the edge of the speaker's plat
form, and with tears of emotion cours
ing down his cheeks, reviewed a pro
cession of prohibition enthusiasts who
tore up state standards and started a
moving column of delegates about the
hall. There was more than one light
over whether state standards should go
into the demonstration.
During the demonstration the stand
ard of Bryan's home state was torn
in half and raised to Mr. Bryan on
the platform who demanded the rest,
while the crowd roared.
Fnally after the crowd had been
quieted, Chairman Robinson recognized
Senator Glass.
At six o'clock last night after eight
solid hours of demonstration, oratory
and debate the convention came to tire i
point of voting on the changes pro- j
posed in the platform by Bryan and j
others. There were 11 substitute1
planks pending and offered for im ln -1
sion in the platform. The vote on the:
prohibition amendments was first.

Motherhood.
' Each year 100,000 babies die in the
United States in the first month of life,
most of them because of conditions af
fecting the mother before the baby was
born. By giving proper care and atten
tion to 'mothers before. the baby is
born; thousands dT baby lives can be
saved.
Thousands of Mothers Lose Their Lives
Needlessly.
-But mothers- should have better care
for another important reason. In this
country at least 15,000 mothers die in
childbirth each' year; that is one moth
er 'in every ' 150 ' cases of child-birth.
Over half of them lose their lives from
preventable conditions. What can we
do to stop this awful sacrifice?
Saveguarding the Health of Expectant
Mothers.
Every expectant mother should early
place herself under the care of a good
physician or a well-conducted obstetri
cal clinic. If the expected baby is her
first, the physical examination which
the doctor makes should include meas
urements of the pelvis. An examina
tion of the blood by means of the Was
sermann test shows that about one
mother in every 10 should undergo thor
ough medical treatment in order to
insure a healthy baby. Repeated exami
nations of the urine are essential for
the detection of conditions whose early
treatment "may save the mother's life.
Before the baby is born the mother
should safeguard her health in every
way. She should be as far as possible
relieved of worry, have plenty of fresh
air, good, wholesome food, and sufficient
recreation, rest and sleep. 1 lie bowels
should move once a day. Constipation,
which is often troublesome during the
later months of pregnancy, should
preferably be controlled by regulating
the diet, but if that does not suffice
some simple laxative prescribed bv the
doctor should be taken. The clothing
should be loose, though corsets may be
worn during the, earlier months.
During- the last months' of pregnancy,
the expectant mother should see her
physician or send him a specimen of
her urina every two weeks. She must
drink liquid to insure -the passage of at
least three pints of urine each 24 hours.
Persistent or sudden and severe head
aches, swelling of the face or handa, or
increasing swelling of the ankleg must
be reported at once to the physician in
charge. The appearance of a bloody
discharge also demands instant sum
moning of the physician.
A number of patent medicines have
been widely advertised to make child
birth safe, "easy and painless. They are
all frauds. Instead of wanting money
on them, expectant mothers should
seek a doctor's advice.
The Great Event.
At no time in her life does a woman
require better care and -attention than
during childbirth. A competent doctor,
or if such is not available, a properly
supervised and licensed 'midwife should
attend. The patient's room should be
large, clean and light, and the necessary
maternity outfit should be conveniently
at hand.
The following list represents a use
ful outfit: ...
One pound absorbent cotton.
Five yards sterile gau.e,
'One envelope sterile umbilical tapes.
One dozen sterile sanitary napkins.
One tube vaseline.
Four (Ounces powdered boracic acid.
One do.en birdVeye diapers. :
One flannel band, five inches wide, one
yard long.
One cake castile soap.
One dozen small safety pins.
Two dozen large safety pins.
One new douche bag, two quarts.
One eye dropper.
One douche pan.
One and one-half yards rubber nur
sery sheeting. .
After Baby' Comes.
The mother should rest in bed for
at least a week after ta.lv Is' born and
several weeks more should not do real
ly heavy work. Various forms of se
rious female troubles are due to a fail
ure to follow this advice.
The mother's food should be plenti
ful, wholesome and nutritious, for, of
course, baby must be nursed at the
breast. The mother should drink plen
ty of milk, but much tea and coffee are
injurious.
Almost all mothers can breast-feed
their babies.
If the flow of milk is scanty the
mother should:
(a) Drink plenty vi liquids espe
cially milk.
Little Johnny Spendthrift, Jr.
I : ' ' j : I (a chip off ,
1
(b) Not do heavy work.
(c) (id sufficient rest and sleep.
"(d) Take an' outdoor airing every
pleasant day.
(e) Avoid constipation.
(f) Put baby to nurse regularly.
In order to train the child and to
keep herself well and strong, the moth
er should systematize baby a daily life,
the nursing times, bath, sleep and
outdoor periods. If the baby is often
fretful the mother should seek' the doc
tor's advice. Under no circumstances
should she give soothing sirups or oth
er patent medicines recommended by
the neighbors.
ACCIDENTS REDUCED.
Prohibition Has Cut Them in Half in
America, Says Evangeline Booth.
London, July 3. Evangeline Booth,
head of the Salvation Army in Ameri
ca, lias told British newspapermen that
should prohibition in the United Htates
be repealed "over the protests of the
women, I will fill America from sea
to sea with parades of children bearing
banners and no liquor interests could
prevail against these demonstrations."
She said, however, in her opinion "the
mothers of America will keep that
country forever dry."
Miss Booth declared prohibition had
"reduced accidents by half in the Unit
ed States, had promoted health, and
done away with the hobo and unem
ployment," but she added crime had
not appreciabbly decreased because of
the effects of the "great war-strin."-
The Salvation Army industrial
homes will have to be put to other uses
than shelter for unemployed, hungry
men, she said, because the men who
formerly sought refuge in them now
are earning wages which enable them
to pay for the accommodations.
American Concoction Becoming Quite
Popular Now With the
Parisians.
Paris, June 16. The ice cream sida
has invaded Paris. With the arrival
of the first of the American tourist
numerou shops have sprung up which
boast that within may be obtained
"real" American ice cream sodas
Prices for this American drink range
from three to six francs, accordingtto
the character of the shop.
Paris has always had places where
poor imitations of the great American
drink could be obtained but not until
this spring, when the tourists' trade
revived, did the real thing make its ap
pearance. An amusing feature of the
French premier of the soda has been
the popularity it has attained with the
Parisians. 4
At first quite skeptical, the French
later tried the drink and like it. One
large cafe on one of the famous boule
vards serves more French people than
American with ice cream odas. This
cafe has even attempted the sale of
sundaes hut they haven't achieved the
success of the sodas.

vou have a constant back-

why you feel so badly. More than
likely it's your kidneys ! You may
have over-worked, eaten too much
meat and had too little rest or sleep,
all of which has thrown a heavy
-strain upon your kidneys. This may be the cause of your bad back, that nervous, "blue
