WHY So MANY Infants Die,

There is no means Of knowing Just what
proportion of deaths among children in
summer are due to neglect upon the part
of mothers. But beyond doubt it is very
large indeed. When IA baby is taken with
diarrhea, if it is not serious at first, the
average mother either assumes that it is
due to teething or some other cause equally
remote from the right one. More than
likely she considers the complaint salu-
tary 1t is therefore neglected until it has
become severe and occasioned alarm, and
by that time it has often gone beyond the
point where Il cure is possible.
Little children, even in hot weather,
sometimes have attacks of diarrhea which
are innocent and do not threaten life, but
no mother can tell whether the same are
harmless or not. 1t is therefore the duty
of all when their young children are taken
down with this complaint to send ut once
for physician. Mere pocket economy
should weigh nothing in sickness, and least
of all when the victims are very young
/ Here in America one-fourth of all the
children die before the end of the fifth year
is reached; and of all who die under five
years of age more than three-lfths are less
than one year old. There are number OF
obvious reasons for this appalling mortal
ity Ignorance and the assumption of the
responsibility of caring for the little one
when i'll are the prime factors. Educate
mothers 50 that they can give their chill
dren better care when we'll, and convince
them that IA physicians advice is always
needed when they are i'll, and then, and
then only, will the terrible death rate les
sen and the mortality in childhood be nc
greater than in middle lfe,-Boston Her

GUILT.

A murky light the garden sleeps,
A snakelike shadow shilddering creeps
Across the crumblng ground,
The stiffness deep at times is blurred
BY cries of some leaf hidden bird
To wakefulness by wild hawks stirred:
Then silence broods profound.
A crimson bowl the poppy lifts,
And light that through its fringes drifts
Is red rs clots of blood
And bright the crime with awful glare,
And dark as gilt and black despair,
Nasturtiums from their green leaves stare
Upon ,lie coiling flood.
The gladioluS flames with fire
That seems some feluu : funeral pyre,
That liehs his soul 10 hell
And yuudcr urid throbbing rose,
That with Its clotted petal, grows,
Might be a heart that iercely glows
Meath hatrcd's awful spell.
And here, o love, It's well we stand
And closely clasp each burning hand
In passions frances wild.
No gentle buds should flash their bloom,
And spill rain of sweet perfume,
But only blood like blossoms loom
For love hN guilt deiiled.
