GUARD ABY'S HEALTH
IN THE SUMMER
The summer months are the most
dangerous to children. , The cam -
plaints of that season, which are
holera infanturn, colic, diarrhoea,
and dysentry come on so quickly thet
often a little life is beyond aid before
the mother realizes he is ill. The
mother must be on her guard to pre-
vent these troubles, or if they do
come �n suddenly to cure them. •No
other medicine is of such aid tp

t cannot be too often reiterat-
ever, that the 'reason why
" has placed a high. price
in is not merely because, with
frankness, he has depicted
y as the Cain of nations, but
there is no gainsaying the
inexorable truth embodied in his car-
toons.
Louie Raemaekers spent his early
years at Roermopd, in Holland, and
afterwardetudied. art in Amsterdam
and Bressels. Before the war he was
living quietly •with his family-- in
Haarlern, the ' heart of tulip -land,
where' he was contentedly painting
the caeals,, cattle, and windmills Of
beloved Dutch countryside. Four
days after the war began, he drew
his first cartoon, "Christendom After
Twenty Centuries." He investigated
the horrors in Belgium -personally;
since then, his chief thought has been
of the war and how best to aid the
cause of the Allfes. His early car-
toons appeared in the Telegraaf 'of
Amster am, and at . once attracted
_generall attention. From the outset
• his woi Its revealed something more
than th humorous or ironical wer
of the caricaturist; they showed* that
behind jthe mere pictorial comment
on the srar was a man who thought
and wr ught with a deep and un-
compro isin.g conviction as to 'right
and wrong. The leading newspapers,
first of
olland, then of the - Contin-
ent and reat Britain, reproduced his
sketche Quick to • recognize the
significa ce of his work, the German
autkorit es did all in their power to
suppres it, and, failing in this, used
every form of intrigue at hand to
silence him. • They charged him with
endangering Dutch neutrality; they
puta. iproPpe.on„his- head,. and he was
continually threatened with the ven-
geance Ot the central powers. Then
Raemaekers removed with his !al:alit
to a sub rb of London. The English
public a4corded him, a warm
co reat crowds thronged the
gaUries where his cartoons were eit-
hibitedater, in Paris, he was pre-
sented- w th the Cross of the Leiden
of Honor and was given a .reception
at the Sorbonne, which is said to be
the highest purely intellectual honor
Europe can confer.
He has a wonderful record for in.:
dustry, for he has drawn more than
600 cartoons sine the war began.
There is scarcely a phase of it, politi-
ell, military, or naval, on which his
brush and pencil have not made their
comment, and a line once placed is
seldom altered.
To understand Raemaekers fully,.
one mus f first understand the Ger-
mans. Civilization expects implicit
obedience to the accepted code by all
its devotees. Now some of us have
had a mental picture of the Germans,
surviving from long, long ago, as a
peacefully inclined industrious folk,
as students, philosophers, efficient
merchants, and domesticated men
and women. But we did not under-
stand: the modern German, and, so
soon as the war broke out and we
began to reason from cause to effect,
our appraisal of German ideals re-
ceived a rude shock. We found "Kul-
tur" in plane. of the familiar type,
and one supreme man at the head of
a casteusing the people like pawns.,
teaching. thin the gospel of hate,
and employing every material force
at hand to achieve the destruction of
other nations for the sake of national
glorification and the aggrandizement
of the German state. We found a
people turned Universal enemy, us-
ing war as a means to break down
the moralel of whole nations and as
an agent of mendacity, misrepresen-
tation, wholesale cruelty, and ruth-
less conquest.
Raemaekers revolted at once. He
showed sheer, unadulterated facts in
picture, drawn as it were with the
point of a sword, or'a bayonet. • He
showed that in face of "Kultur" no
one could be neutral. There is no,
mistaking Raemaekers. No matter
what its form, he loathes "Kultur,"
and against the dark background of
evil he causes to stand out the nobil-
ity, endurance, and sublimity of the
objects of "Kultur's" persecution,
the sacredness of the allied cause.
Never for a moment is he in doubt
that that cause will succeed. Victory
to him is inevitable. For that view
he is n3.ore than an encouragement to
the world; he is an inspiration, as
much an inspiration as though the
war had long since ceased and he
were recording in bronze and marble
the glorious victory of civilization,
instead of merely presenting us with
tithe first rough sketch.
• The Beer of. Borneo.
Beer as made by the natives of
Sarawak, in the northwestern region
of Borneo, varies in its ingredients
according to the different tribes who
make it, the most intoxicating being
_that made by the ,.Bisaiyahs of Lim -
bank. These people make their beer
by boiling rice, adding yeast, crush-
ed wild chili, and a large lump of
wood ash. This is'all put into a ar
till the jar is two-thirds full, and cov-
ered over with leaves which are held
down with bamboo supports; water
is poured on till the jar is full, ande
the beer Is then ready for drinking.
The drinking is Performed by push-
ing bamboo tubes down to the bot,
tom of _the jar and then sucking up
the liquid:. So that no one shall have
more than his. fair proportion at .a
tilpe, a system ot floats is arranged
wherein, the amount of drink con-
sumed by_ each man is registered.
