The Explosive Bullet I'm warfare.
James Anson Farrer In MILITARY Manners AM


Custorus"l
The history OF tho explosive bullet Is
worth recalling, for its prohibition is a straw
tn clutch at in tlrese days Of military revival.
Like the plague, and perhaps gunpowder,
IL had its origin In the East. IL was used
originally in ludia, against elephants and
tigers. In 1863 II was introduced into the
Russian army, and subsequently into other
European armies, for use against ammuni.
ton wagons. But IL was not until 1867 that
slight modification Of its construction rem.
dered IL available for the destruction of man

of the Russian Minister of War, Gen. Milu.

less than 400 grammes, either explosives or

THE SECOND SUMMER.
pta Fatality 10 Infants ONO 10 the Heat
sud 60 the Parents.


tDr. A. jacob In Babyhoodl
The fault lies not with the second summer,
nor with the children, but with the heat and
the parents. The summer heat may in
itself be dangerous in conjunction with bad
diet IL becomes frequently fatal II is an es-
tablished fact that nearly all the mortality
among children in summer Is caused by dis
eases OF the digestive organs, and that all
These fatal eases would I've averted were these
organs not ~ become diseased. Now the
second summer Is the summer in which the
artificial feeding of children has begun or Is
about TO begin. Rational artificial noursh-
,nent Ia the proper one for children who are
old enough and whose organs have been suf-
ficiently prepared for IL. With proper feed
ing and intelligent care few children need
suffer from stomach or bowel troubles. Sen
sible mothers in good dwellings, even those
in poor circumstances, loss no children from
this cause. Hence IL is not the second sum
rner that kills the children, but the igno-
rance or negligence of those who attend
them. This is all tho worse from the fact
that the rules for the proper nutrition of
children are very aimple--iDdeed, 80 simple
that they are not observed on account of
their very simplicity.
My purpose, however, Is not to discourse
about medicine OF about my personal views,
but about popular hygiene IA II Is and as II
should he. Now, In the matter Of the feed
ing OF children the most preposterors things
are done, because sanctioned by custom. In
the iirst place. every possible food is admin
istered mutually the little creature swallows
everything that is put into its mouth. 1T
