TWO I TIMELY NEWS FROM HE OF THE COONCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE TOE EVENING TELECTa TO. DIXO.N, ILLINOIS unify the strength of tho nation for victory. There is in it the declara-j tion of a people that this is a peo-! war. (Prepared by Mrs. Frederick Lindstrom.) of Child Welfare Committee Mrs.

Harry arner has accepted the chairmanship of the Child Welfare Committee of Lee county. The' others on the committee at present are: Miss Nathan Morrill, Mm Cop-! pins, Miss Florence Noble, Miss Ada Decker, and Mrs. It. Baird. Others1 will be asked to serve.

It has been decided to have Child Welfare week in Dixon the first week In October. In the different townships of Lee county the work will be started earlier. Child future welfare of the child begins with the registration at it3 birth. Illinois is the only state that is lax in ifiis respect. The Illinois reports of the births and deaths ha'e never been accepted by the United States tor publication, Cocaugo they have not been -sufficiently -complete and accurate.

Illinois falls 'ar below the requirements in birth registration. This certainly is not it to tho st ate. That Illi nois 4 should lag behind other states in its rocord of vital statistics is a reproach to its citizenship, and one which should promptly be removed by the United efforts of men and women. These vital statistics are the basis for any constructive plan for public welfare. Legislation is not necessary.

The Illinois statistics law is excellent, but the peopie are indifferent to enforcement. The remedy is an aroused public opinion which shall demand strict observance of the law. At the beginning of the draft, Chicago had to deal with hundreds of young men, who knew they were about 21, but had no positive know- edgo. is our duty to arouse public opinion to remedy this. i he weighing and measuring of lildren which has been carried on all over tho state during the last months under the direction of Committee, C.

If he is below standard it is bo- of three things: defects, not enough food or the wrong kind of food. It has bee.i discovered nough these teats that of children arc handicapped by bad eyes, ea.r3, noses and few children where family allowance dill tmi penult food, and children; where the wrong kind of tood ptovided through the ignorance or mistaken patriotism of the conservation is absolutely nceoasarv but it must not be carried on at expense of the children, through failure to provide boys over there fo their folks and triends here. Anything of interest sent by boys aro asked for, and will no vell taken care ol.

Names and facts should accompany each article. Message From the THE WHITE HOUSE Washington. July 30, 1018. My dear Mr. Baker: I have read with great interest account of the achievements of the State Councils of Defense and your general sum maty of the activities in which they are now engaged.

It is a notable record and I shall be glad to have you express to the ate Courtis my appreciation of the ser- vioo they have so usefully rendered, i am particularly struck by the value extending our defense organization into the smallest communities and by the truly democratic character of the national system so organized. I believe in the soundness of your contention that in the interest of economy and efficiency such machinery as that provided by the State Council system for the execution of many kinds of war work should be utilized as far as possible by the K'od- e.ul Departments and Administration. May I suggest, therefore, that you communicate with the heads of nil sucii departments and administrations my wish that when they are considering of their organization Into States, or new work fo be done in the States, they determine carefully whether they cannot utilize tho State Council system, thus cndering unnecessary the creation of new machinery; that they transmit all requests for action by the State ouncils through the State Councils Section of the Council of National Defense? Cordially and sincerely yours, W001)UOW At A Mention! The following rcso- 1 ution was adopted by the Committee of the Council of National Detense, and has been approved by the committee: Whereas, it is fitting that us well as soldiers and sailors should adopt some uniform and appropriate manner of expressing their allegiance to their flag when it is displayed and respect for the national anthem i is played in their presence; therefore be it Kesolved, that the Committee of the Council of National Defense recommends that as an exp res-, sion ot loyalty and respect to the colors and the national anthem the women of the United States shall stand at attention when the flag is passing or the national anthem is rendered. i he Committee defines the expression as follows: It means standing erect, eyes front, and arms fit sides.

Do you think of the mothers of those orphans, who deny themselves everything, even food, so that their fatherless children may have as much as it is in their power to give, but that is often pitifully inadequate to the child's needs.
