Care of Infants in France.


French statesmen are now turning
their attention to the saving of the chill
dren, and some very stringent laws have
recently been enacted. 1t is now for
hidden, under severe penalties, for any
one to give to infants under one year
any form of solid food unless such be
ordered by written prescription signed
by a legally qualified medical man.
Nurses are also forbidden to use in the
rearing of infants confided to their care,
at any time or under any pretext what
soever, any nursing bottle provided with
rubber tube.
A few weeks ago DIR. Lede, secretary
of the superior committee for the pro-
lection of infants, was commissioned by
the French minister of the interior to
investigate and report on the various
measures whereby the conditions OF
transport of sucklings sent from Paris
into the provinces could be improved.
Efforts are also being made to break up
the system of baby farming, and to in
duce French or rather Partisan mothers
to nurse their own children.

has been at the instance of the members
of the Society for the Protection of
Children, a comparatively recent organ
ization, whose object is definitely ex-
pressed in its name. The president of
this society is DR.. Rochard, who has
preached the gospel Of caring for infants
for many years. He was one of the
first to sound the alarm at the decreas-
ing population of France, but for long
time his voice was like that Of one cry
ing in the wilderness. Only eight years
ago, when in public discourse he pre-
dicted that the population of France
would be stationary before the end Of
the century, he was laughed at, and the
press called him an alarmist. But his
vindication as true prophet has come
even sooner than he anticipated. Med

POMONA.

Company DIS tug of war team has ac-
cepted challenge from Redlands' team
to pull for $3.50 side. 1t is not known
yet whether the acceptance will be ac-
cepted, as the challenge from Red
lands designated Los Angeles as
the place where the pull should
take place. Company DIS team
declined to go there on the score of ex-
penses, but will take the pull at Red
lands or Pomona.
The Flower Mission girls and COM

citing drama will be well worth seeing.

One good thing about it is
that the rain is warm one

and concluded. The case was called
again at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning,
but on account of the sickness of II. B /.

A Suit of Interest to Orange
Growers.
The Case of the People VS.. E. A.
Meserve.
A Suit to Destroy Scale Infested I'm
ported Trees.
Alexander Craw Testifes-The Scale
Bugs He Found on the Trees.
Other Expert Testi-
mony.

A case of vital Importance to the
orange growers was on trial before
Judge Mckinley of the superior court
yesterday. 1t was the suit of the people
against E. A. Meserve ct al, and Deputy
District Attorney Waldo York repre-
sented the commonwealth, and Attor-
neys Z. A. Meserve, Shirley Ward and
+. d. Lewis appeared for the defense.
The complaint asks for the destruc-
ton of 1886, 1000 young orange trees i'm
ported by Messrs. Meserve last June
from the island of Tahiti. When the
trees were landed at San Pedro it is
claimed that they were badly infested
with scale, and peculiar insect pest
known as the "borer" which attacks the
roots of the orange tree. Soon after the
landing OF the trees they were exam
ined by Horticultural Commissioners
A. j. Kerchival, George j. Mitchell and
John Burr, who at once notified the
defendants that the trees were badly
infested, and required them to be disin-
fected. This was done several times
but all efforts to eradicate the pest
proved unavailing, so it is claimed.
The complainant further alleges that
Messrs. Meserve intend to remove these
trees into the interior of the state, and
say that such action will greatly endan-
ger orange culture in California. They
therefore ask that these trees be de-
clared q nuisance, and that an order be
issued requiring them to be destroyed.
The first witness placed on the stand
was Prof. Alexander Craw, quarantine
officer of the state board of horticulture.
Prof. Craw testified that he had ex-
amined the trees several times at San
Pedro, and had found them to be badly
infested with s'green SCALE" They had
been fumigated thoroughly, but all
efforts to kill the pest had proved una
vailing. The green scale, he stated, fed
on the sap of the orange tree, and were
exceedingly hard to reach. The green
scale was an entirely new species of pest
in California, and the only way to get
rid of those on the imported Tahiti trees
was to destroy them root and branch.
A number of pieces of bark cut from
the trees were exhibited in court in
order to show the scale with the aid OF
microscopes.
Prof. Coquillet and John Burr were
next put on the stand, and their testi
mony was substantially the same a
that given by Prof. Craw. Attorney
Meserve then asked permission o
Judge Mckinley to produce several o
the Tahiti trees now at San Pedro il
court. This permission was granted
and they will be exhibited today. Th'
suit is without precedent in California
and it is being watched with good dea
of interest by attorneys and orange
growers.

SANTA MONICA

The railroad news, which still con-
tinues of the most cheering character,
makes all hands to feel that at last
Santa Monica is to receive proper atten-
tion, and that before the summer season
of '92 arrives, there will be theer rail-
roads all bidding for the patronage of
the thousands of those who make the
place their summer camping grounds.
But this aspect of the case is the least
part of the grand results which are to
follow, for the transcontinental lines
will make Santa Monica the future port
of Southern California as sure as the
sun shines on the beautiful bay and pic
turesque homes of the city by the sea.
