FAVOR BRYAN TO
LEAD DRY PARTY
Prohibition National
Convention Opens in
His Home Town
(Continued From Page 1)
“We are still on the map and our
mission not ended,” Aaron S. at
kins, keynote speaker, told the dele
gates. “We must place in the field
a ticket of real presidential size and
make a campaign that will win the
respect of all thinking r.en and wo
men.’
The prohibitionists here in Wil
liam Jennings Bryan’s home town,
chiefly favor Bryan for their presi
dential nominee, Mr. Hinshaw said to
day.
“Judging from communications
coming to prohibition national com
mittee from all parts of the country
Mr. Bryan stands chief in the affec
tions of members of the prohibition
party,” said Mr. Hinshaw. “With the
two old parties standing silent many
believe he could be elected as presi
dent on the prohibition ticket.
Reviewing other possibilities for
the prohibition nomination the party
chairman said that Daniel A. Pol
ing, of Boston, stood next to Bryan
Mr. Poling is associate president of
the World’s Christian Endeavor so
cieties and was the keynote speak
er at the 1916 prohibition convention.
Mr. Hinshaw characterized him as a
marvelous campaigner.
The largest private fortune in the
United States estimated at one billion
dollars, is equivalent to the aggre
gate wealth of 2,500,000 of those
classed as poor.

WALTP& P FULKrJPSOH
ST. JOSEPH, Mo., July 2c.—
“May his tribe increase!”
This is the substance of hundreds
of letters of praise received by Wal
ter P. Fulkerson, banker, since his
announcement a few days ago that
he would build houses for people
with children; that only those who
had children could rent his homes;
that newlyweds who had no child at
the end of a year must give way to
those in whose home the happy
laughter of children rang!
Fulkerson has received from 200
to 300 letters from Maine to Cali-'
fornia praising his a pilot who is
blazing forth the dawn of a better
day for children.
And hip office in the Bank of Buc
hanan county, of which he is presi
dent, is the scene of a continuous
stream of visitors who want a house
—a home where children will be wel
come, where they may bring up their
kiddies in a decent community and!
start them in life’s struggle at least]
not with the handicap so many are]
now forced to bear through banish-]
ment to homes none would live in,
except as a last resort.
Fulkerson is simply a plain,
straight-forward American business;
man who wants to do his bit. For]
years he has been known in St. Joe]
as a "community builder.”
“I didn’t know what I started
when I made my annquncement,”
he said. “I’d been thinking a long
time about the way landlords place
a premium on childlessness. 1 nev
er could see anything wrong in
children. I have two mighty fine!
children myself. Their mother ift |
dead.
“I’ve been in school board work for]
a long time—guess because I’m rath-)
er good-natured and like dealing
in problems of the children. When
other business men begged of with
the excuse they were too busy, they
always turned to me. Then, sub
consciously 1 suppose, what Theo
dore Roosevelt preached on race sui
cide helped plant the idea.”
Fulkerson explained that he had
read in a local paper an advertise
ment of homes for rent with these
two words in big type: “NO CHIL
DREN.’’
“Nex day I talked with a local
newspaper man,” said Fulkerson.
“Why that ad is an insult te all
children, I told him. What have
children done to deserve such sweep
ing I told hi n 1
believed I would build, a bunch of
houses in one of our best residential
section for no one but families with
children. That was the announce
ment.”
] Fulkerson took me out in his car
|to view the houses he is building.
] They are ip an attractive district,
| just off St. Joe’s “Lover’s Lane,”
| that Eugene Field longed for and
; made famous.
I Each will cost about $5,500, ex
clusive of lot. They will rent for
] from S4O to SSO. The houses— he
plans to build 35—will face a beau
tiful park. A fine school is nearby.
The houses will be real homes in
every sense of the word—gardens,
room for tennis court, etc.
“The other system’s all wrong. It
forces families to turn to race sui
cide. If others here and in every
! city will follow me I will feel I have
been amply rewarded.”
When the stork visits one of Ful
. kerson’s houses, that month’s rent
lis to be returned!

Want Girls ‘Caned’
By Women Teachers
LONDON, July 21—Caning of
girl pupils in the elementary schools
by their male teachers, a practice
which has been general in England
for many years, recently has become
the subject of much criticism and the
Daily Mail has started an agitation
for its abandonment. Many letters
have been written the newspapers,
the majority of the writers advocat
ing inflicting of corporal punishment
of girls, when necessary, by women
teachers. They protest that, a sensitive
girl may never fully recover from the
“shame of being caned by a man.”
The Lord Mayor of Bristol, who
had 30 years experience as headmas
ter of a school, said he knew the
practice of men administering cor
poral punishment to girls was com
mon, but he was opposed to it.

Urges Harding and Cox
To Seek Debs’ Release
DENVER, July 21. Harley
Christensen, the farmer-labor candi
date for the presidency today tele
graphed Senator Harding and Gov
ernor Cox suggesting that all join
in a demand on President Wilson
for the immediate release of Eugene
Debs from Prison.
CAUSE OF PAINFUL
\ AND SLOW TEETH- :
j ING BABIES
Baby usually cuts its first teeth
soon after the fifth month. The time
varies in different families and may
be delayed by prolonged illness, but
slow or painful dentition is generally
caused by improper feeding, which
produces indigestion, faulty elimina
tion and undernourishment. This
lack of nourishment causes slow for
mation of the teeth, and naturally
much pain when they come through,
as in later months baby’s gums are
harder.
If the baby is fretful, sleeps poor
ly, loses appetite and occasionally has
a slight fever during teething time,
indigestion is probably the cause, but
care must be taken not to use strong,
irritating drugs that cause inflamma
tion of the delicate membrane of ba
by’s stomach.
One of the best laxatives for teeth
ing babies is “Baby Ease,” a perfect
ed preparation by a baby specialist
that is easy-acting, non-irritating,
does not produce over-action, or
leave baby constipated. “Baby Ease”
is a safe, harmless and efficient laxa
tive and corrective. Use it and you
will see a wonderful improvement in
your baby, if not, take him to a phy
sician. Ask your druggist for “Baby
Ease.”
