garded by European students as a re-j£
’‘turn to the cruelty of the Middle Ages,
and a further increaso in the barbari
ties of our prisons is difficult to ex
plain to those Europeans.
“The question will now be asked:
On what do European countries rely
to keep down crime? Leaving out of
account those social ameliorations of
which both Europeans and Americans
are fully conscious as tending to les
sen crime, I would say that the main
reliance is on the police. In other
words, while vze Americans seem to
think that crime can be held in check
by punishing severely an insignificant
fraction of our criminals, Europeans
believe that it is far more effective to
impose reasonably mild penalties on
a large proportion of those who of-
fend.
“A short time ago an investigation
in two of tho leading cities of Mis-,
souri revealed the fact that, whereas
information had been laid before the
* ..police concerning some 14,000 major-
J felonies, arrests had followed in only
-k8 per cent, of the cases? Worse—it
was shown that a total of only 3 per
cent, had been found, or had pleaded
•s guilty.
“To trust to tho efficacy of punish
ing severely the 3 per cent, while al
lowing the 97 per cent, to escape scot-
freo would scarcely appeal to a Euro
pean as an example of our boasted ef
ficiency or our hard common sense.
They, on the contrary, have built up
non-political police forces that make
It decidedly risky for an individual to
engage in crime.
“The second thing that impresses
the visitor to European prisons is the
existence, in the care and treatment
of prisoners, of a standard of care
steadily and faithfully maintained. To
throw out the entire staff of a prison
from the warden down to the' lowest
guard simply to make places for tho
friends of the incoming administra
tion, and to 'have this process repeat
ed over and over again as has been
done in many of our States, is a thing
utterly abhorrent to the European’s
notion of public administration or of
projier public protection of society
from crime.”
Richmond Times-Dispatch says In
reply:
“There’s nothing wrong with the
criminal laws of the States or of the
United States; so far as the detection'
of persons who have committed
crimes y^hich fall within tho category
of malum in so is concerned, there’s
nothing wrong with the police of the
States or of the United States. When
the vast expanse of the United States
is compared with the densely popu
lated countries in which Dr. Robinson
investigated conditions, the American
police are as able and keen as the
police of any other country.
"What Dr. Robinson has overlooked,
apparently, is the difference between
the administration of the criminal
laws in the United States and in other
countries. It isn’t the fault of the
laws in tho United States that offend
ers go unpunished; it Isn’t the fault
of the police; it isnlt becauso of mild

Government Caps a Notable Year With a Notable
Publication''
The Dominion Government has just published “The Canadian
Mother’s Book,” written by Dr. Helen MacMurchy, chief of the
Division of Child Welfare of the Department of Health at Ottawa.
The foreward—“The greatest gift is a child, and the greatest
honor is to be a mother,” and the introduction—“This book has
been written for you—a Canadian mother. The Government of
Canada knowing that the nation is made of homes, and that the
homes are made by the father* and mother, recognizes you as
one of the'Makers of Canada. No National Service is greater or
better than the work of the Mother in her Own Home. The
Mother is thze First Servant of the State.”—These tell the story.

Nothing makes a mother more
grateful than a benefit conferred up
on her child. Mothers everywhere
who have used Baby’s Own Tablets
for their children speak in enthusias
tic terms of them. For instance, Mrs.
Zepterin Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que.,
writes:—“Baby’s Own Tablets are a
wonderful medicine for little ones.
They never fail to regulate the baby’s
stomach and bowels, and make him
plump and well. I always keep a box
of the Tablets in. the house and would
advise all mothers to do -likewise."
Most of.the ordinary ailments of child
hood arise in the stomach and bowels,
and can be quickly banished by
Baby’s Own Tablets. These Tablets
relieve constipation and indigestion,
break up colds and simple fevers, ex

Simply Told
Dr. MacMurchy is to be congratulat
ed upon the simplicity and clearness
of the language with which she tells
her story of how to care for young
Canadians. Dr. MacMurchy used to be
teacher of Literature in the Old Gram
mar School or Jarvis Collegiate Insti
tute in Toronto and well does the re
viewer remember how colloquialisms
and Popular expressions were frowned
upon by the Doctor when she en
deavored to teach him the rudiments
of the English language. The Doctor,
a master of English, has worded her
book in the simplest manner pos
sible and where popular expressions
carried her though^ .most forcefully
she has- used such expressions until
the result is absolutely clear, read
able, and understandable by anyone
who can read words of two syllables.
To stress the important points Dr.
MacMurchy has resorted to repetetion
so that any one seriously wanting
to benefit by her instruction can
not possibly fall to have her' truths
driven home. She has written, for
the good of the great' mass of
Canadian women in average circum
stances. Her Bimple, direct and inti
mate language proves her as great a
"master of English as of physcology.
A New Era
The old time method of "rocking
the baby," picking up the darling/’
"cuddling the little pet” is* past and
Dr. MacMurchy has stressed the
point so often forgotten that the first
year of a baby’s life is made up of
sleep, food and bath. The reviewer’s
personal experience, arrived at
through watching and helping his bet
ter half raise a fair sized family fully
confirms the Doctor’s methods.
Free For The Asking
The publishing of the Canadian
Mother’s Book is without doubt one of
the most notable events marking
Canada’s Jubilee Year and every
mother, prospective and expectant,
should have this most excel
lent publication which will be mailed
free by simply writing and asking for
it to the Department of Health,
tawa, Canada.
Advice to Doctors
Being a mere newspaper man
reviewer hesitates to offer advice to
the mediclal profession but as the
father of a successfully raised family
who has been through the experience
he does not hesitate to say that every
doctor in city or country should keep
a supply of these little books on hand
and give one to every wife and
mother. We congratulate the gov
ernment on their Chief of the Division
of Child Welfare and we congratulate
Dr. MacMurchy on such a noteworthy
achievement.
Silo Filling
Practically ever since silos came
into use it has been one of the cardi
nal rule3 of silo poreation that the
silage must be very thoroughly tramp
led as put in, to prevent molding and
spoilage. This job of trampling in the
silo is one of the most disagreeable
ones on the- farm, arid the good wages
demanded adds quite a little to the
cost of filling the silo.
The high cost and scarify of labor
led a number of farmers in diffeffrent
sections of the country to try the plan
of filling without trampling, and sev
eral have used it the last three or four
years with perfect success. Many
claim that there is less loss from
spoilage in silos filled this way, than
under the old plan of two or three men
trampling down the silage, j
By not trampling the silage, and us-'
ing a small ensilage cutter and tractor,1
and a binder with bundle-loading at-1
tachment, a farmer and his hired man ]
or boys can fill the silo without extra |
help, greatly reducing the cost and
labor of filling the silo.
The advocates of the non-trampling
plan recommended cutting the silage
in one-fourth-incli lengths, adding
plenty of water if the corn is frosted
and dry, and directing the filler pipe at
the centre of the silo, allowing the
ensilage tq. fill, up in a conical shaped
pile, the center tending to push downI
and out, packing the ensilage tightly j
and eliminating air spaces. |
Experiments carried on at some of.
the agricultural ^experiment stations
indicate that these farmers are right, j
and that where the silage is cut rather ■
fine and made rathei* wet, that there , is little, if any, more spoiled silage 1
than with the older and more costly ;
method. It is- important that the sil- j
age be quite damp, so that water can ;
be squeezed out of a handful, that the
silo not be filled too rapidly, and that I
ft be refilled after settling. Also, It
is recommended that the top two or
three feet be even wetter than the
average, and be tramped well.—I.W.
