found dead In bed. The city physician was ut
once summoned, who said she had been dead
at least two hours. From the fact that Monck
had disappeared, suspicion Of foul play were
aroused The room was carefully examined
but no trace Of poison could be found, nor did
the body bear marks OF violence. The only
thing that could give any ccve toward solving
the mystery was piece OF paper found un-
der plain gold ring worn on the left band Of
the dead woman. The paper bore these words:
"Sweet Helen, will keep the promise lmade
you--JACK"
This, coupled with other facts, verified the
suspicion OF suicide, and an investigation was
made, but nothing definite could be learned
until the following. evening when case OF
suicide was reported at the Brunswick Hotel.
The proprietor of the Franklin House was sum-
moned, who at once identified the remains as
those OF Mr.. Monck. Ii was found that Monck
came there on Saturday night, about an hour
| after he was last seen at the Franklin house,
and registered as Frank Howard, of Toronto.

suspicion. He paid for nights lodging, and

which the most of us are handicapped
from the very start in life. He shows
that while one hundred years is the
terminus to be expected from the or
ganiZatiOn of man. Yet only one in
400 reaches it. OF these there are
more women than men, more foreign
ers than natives, more colored than
white. The average of life in this
country is less than forty, which,
after allowing for epidemics, casual
ties, etc, is still unreasOnably low. In
speaking of the care or infants, he
would not recommend the Spartan
practice of putting baby out of

enough to live till morning. Cold is

not enough to depend on bed cloth

clothing will make heat: it will
simply contine the amount of animal
heat already in the body. II Il child
is put to bed cold it may stay cold. al
though under piles of clothing. The
right way is to have artificial heat in

The best sort of warmth is that which
comes through exercise, not kept up
too long. The food for babies is milk,
and nothing else. The theory of add
ing water is now almost wholly aban-
dOued, said the speaker, except by
milkmen. But above all things the
milk used by an infant should be kept
a. fresh as possible; even "a few hours
in Il warm room may bring disease to
the delicate stomach of the child. If
ice cannot be had, it is better to boil it
at once. Beware of giving starchy
food alone to babies. They need nitro

starve child by giving it all it will
take of arrow-root and water. And

child simply wants drink, and then
water is far better than milk. For

than coffee; milk and cocoa better
than either. Cocoa is pleasant and
