THE CALL OF THE GUARD.
President Wilson has called out the
entire National Guard of the United
States for service on the Mexican line
and in Mexico.
With the call comes the assurance
that it is only for protection, but it is
bound to be of far more moment than
that The lethargy displayed by the
administration in the past , indicates
that a call would not be made unless
there was dire trouble in sight, and
tho fact that every metropolitan
newspaper carried the front page
filled with war stories and mobiliza
tion stories is further indication that
at Washington the war cloud is hang
ing very low.
The nation will respond to the
President's call, not alone for mobi
lization of the present militia but for
the organization, of new companies in
every town and hamlet. The like or
dislike for the administration will be
buried by American citizenship when
the bugle sounds for recruits, and
this nation will respond to the men of
sixty years of age if needs be to in
sure safety of home and country and
to repel any invader that may try to
cross our lines.
Idaho's governor was introduced by
Jacob W. Furth. The mass meeting
at which he spoke was held under
the auspices of Missouri lodge, Inde
pendent Order of B'nai B'rith.
THE WOOL MARKET.
The wool sales at Pilot Rock showed
the remarkable strength of the mar
ket, says the Pendleton East Oregon
ian. Tho prices paid to the growers
are double the prices current a few
years ago. The situation is due
partly to the war and partly to a
natural shortage in the wool supply
of the world. The wool business is
good and the future outlook is bright
because with high prices prevailing
many manufacturers are buying only
what is actually needed and conse
quently tho shelves are low. The
prosperity in the wool business is
basic and not due to any tariff ar
rangement because wool is now ad
mitted free of duty.

Mr. Alexander, thrilled his hearers

We notice with considerable pleas
ure that our old friend, E. P. Vortiz of
Haker will likely be chosen as school
director. He believes in education,
good citizenship and advancement,
but he also believes in economy and
Baker citizens will find in him a man
who will watch the expenses of the
school district very carefully.
The picture of Adjutant-General
George A. While as run in the Port
land press was a fine introduction of
this man who will he prominent if
there is war trouble. The General's
mug shows some striking lines of a
fighting man.
Tige Reynolds, cartoonist on the
Oregonian, might have very well re
versed his characters in yesterday's
cartoon. Instead of making "poli
ties'" of Mexico prominent, he could
have put "politics" on Uncle Sam's
right hand instead of Curranza's.
Baker Democrats have organized t,
Woodrow Wilson league with C. H.
McColloch, arch Democrat of that
city as the head. A good selection
for a head, but why such a delay
among Baker tried and true followers
of Jefferson?

Babies Eat Carrots.
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
Rotterdam, Holland, May 25. -(By
Mail) Babies seven months to a year
old are eating carrots, apples and
spinach in Germany. Other folks be
side babies are having food troubles.
These food stories we'll tell about
them all. If you watch the consulates
here and keep your eyes on tho in

day, a scant few persons who have
just come from Germany and who will

S. Brown ton,
rooms and stomachs since the food
stringency in Germany became notice
able. Ihese travelers feel themselves
heroes, as, indeed, you come to regard
them, in a manner of speaking, when
you see them abandon themselves to
a full, man's sized meal here. Trav
elers to Berlin, especially tho Ameri
can writing kind, live at the best ho
tels. They -return with stories of
plentiful and excellent food. Berlin
is the wartime show place of Germany
and the hotels whore writers go are
the wartime show places of Berlin.
What the American writers have said
of the plentifulness and the excellence
of the food, is not necessarily true.
11. re in Rotterdam you get the truth,
straight from the dining rooms and
kitchens of civilians in every part of
Germany. It indicates that life in
licimany is uncomfortable, highly so,
for n civilian who is keeping house.
Hero's a Swedish mechanic from Ger
many, running around Rotterdam fill
ing his arms with packages of bacon,
bottles of olive oil and rice. Perhaps
the Hollanders will refuse him per
mission to take these things across
the border but, "I'm going to make a
try of it," he says. Here's a pretty
American girl dining alone in a Rot
terdam restaurant. She's studying
music in Berlin. "I've just run over
to Holland to spend a week eating,"
she says. Here's a Spanish woman
with three little children. "I brought
the baby down to get him some milk.
Ho is tired of carrots, spinach and
apples. So wonder; he is only seven
months." And here arc Germans
rich, elderly, retired Germans who
haunt tho doorways of the hotels,
restaurants, wailing for tho Ameri
can plan dinner bell to ring and who
seem to lie always eating, even at tho
hated English tea hour. They are
here a week. Then they go back to
Germany. Germany, civilian Ger
many is hungry. Not hungry for
victuals, because victuals are any
thing a human being can eat and di
gest, but for decent food like meat
and wheat and milk and animal and
egeUiblc fats. (How and why tiny,
toothless German babies eat apples,
carrots, spinach and oatmeal, instead
of gurgling milk, will be the subject
(.f Shepherd's next German fond
story.)
is a table swarming with disease.
Meat or eggs once a day is as often
as meat food is needed in hot weather.
Every dinner during the summer
should include a raw vegetable salad.
Germany has a law forbidding the
sale of bread less than twenty-four
hours old.
A mup, or a rest of twenty minutes
just after lunch each day will make
the afternoon's work both easier and
better.
Too much food in summer makes
too much heat in the body. This sur
plus heat causes no small part of our
hot weather discomfort.
There is far more danger of typhoid
fever in hot weather from eating too
much meat, potatoes, bread, and other
leavy foods, than from eating green
vegetables.
The second summer is a critical
time for babies, not so much because
of teething, but because this is the
time when the baby is brought to the
table and fed anything and every
thing. It is much better to eat the lighter
meal at noon and the heavier meal at
night. Unless the digestion has been
overcrowded with a hearty meal at
noon, we will sleep better for having
eaten a hearty meal at night.
Care should be taken not to drink
much water just after the noon meal.
Many of the hot weather diarrheas
are caused by flooding the stomach
with water just after a meal and thus
I preventing digestion.
Fat is not necessarily an indication
of health. We get thin because we
get sick; we do not get sick because
we get thin. Similarly, as we get
well, we usually increase in weight.
Disease is not to be cured simply by
increasing the weight.
