FEEDING THE BABY.
Much is written at the present day about
the care and feeding of infants by people
whose only capability for dealing with the
subject is fertile brain, and whose only
aim is to appear in print; every mother
knows how unsatisfactory and fallacious
such adviceis when she attempts to follow
it, How to feed the baby is the greatest
problem met with in the happy state Of
motherhood, and upon its solution depends
the health the happiness and the life of the
child. If the mother is able to nurse her
child, the question of feeding is practically
settled; if she is not, she should be guided
by those who have had successful expert
ence in feeding babies and not allow herself
are scores of artificial foods offered for sale,
but the best is none too good for the baby.
Eminent authorities who have thoroughly
investigated the subject of infant feeding,
and scientists who have analysed infant
foods, unite in pronouncing Mellins Food
to be the only perfect substitute for mothers
milk. It is palatable, nourishing and
strengthening the weakest stomach will
retain and digest it, and the puniest child
will thrive upon it beyond the mothers
fondest expectations.
For convalescents, conservatives, dyspep.
tics and the aged, Mellin's Food is also Of
incalculable value. 1t is a food, not medi-
cine, and the system receives the nourish-
those severely ill Mellin's Food will sustain
the failing strength and promote a speedy
recovery when convaleScence has been
established.

A little more pressure; some sudden
grief, real or even imagined unkindness
from loved ones, and over the brink fall
one more victim of nervous prostration.
1t came upon you so quietly, in the be-
ginning, that you were not alarmed. But
when sleepdeserted you night after night,
until your eyes fairly burned the darkness,
then you tossed in nervous agony, praying
for sleep.
You ought to have, known when you
ceased to be regular in your. courses, and
you grew so irritable without cause, that
there was serious trouble somewhere.
You ought to be told that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb 'displacements, fainting,
dizziness, and backache send the nerves
wild with alright, and you cannot sleep.
Want of sleep gives birth to thousand
morbid fancies of the brain. %

FIRE BUGS STILL AT WORK
Another Incendiary Blaze at
Elkton, Md.
A MAN ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
Held Under Bail for the Ensu-
ing Term of Court.


ELKroN, Nh, Jan. Notwithstanding
the rewards offered for the arrest aud con-
viction of the persons who have caused
the recent mysterious fires in this locality
another attempt was made last night
which caused intense excitement. An
effort was made to fire the Howard House,
the largest hotel in Elkton, at Main and
North streets. w. w. Burkley is the pro-
pretor. The incendiary entered the hotel
by the front door, went into the kitchen,
removed gum coat from the rack in the
hall and placed it upon the large portable
range, causing the garment to catch fire,
He then removed the electric lamps in the
kitchen and the hallway, thus causing the
entire lower portion of the house to be in
total darkness.
About l1.30 o'clock Mr.. Burnley was
awakened by the ringing of the door bell.
He found the Hoor open, but was unable
TO see any person. He retired to his room
but was startled by the smell of smoke.
Going downstairs again. he tried to turn
on the electric light, but to his surprise
found that the lamps had been removed.
Mrs. Burkley called out of the window to
Samuel Biddle, colored man, to go into
the kitchen and see If there was not some
thing on fire. Biddle there found the coat
ablaze. BY this time the larger part of the
inmates Of the hotel were up and an in
YeSllBation oil the premises was made.
Charles Ernest. aged about So years, a
barber, of Elkton, in the same building on
Main street, was arrested about . o'clock
this morning by Deputies Sheriff Walter
g. Boyd and Harvey II. Mackey on sus-
picion of having committed the deed. He
was given hearing this morning at 10
o'clock in the sheriff's office before Magis.
trate Peter II. Cleaver. The State was rep
resented by States Attorney Austin L.
Crothers. Ernest had no counsel. Walter
G. Boyd, who helped make the arrest,
testified that when he arrested Ernest he
found in his possession four electric-light
lamps. Several other persons testified That
the prisoner acted in a strange manner at
the scene Of the fire.
Ernest said he got the electric lamps
from a friend in Philadelphia. He was
also unable to tell where he was from 1913
to 1l.30 last night. Magistrate CleaveI
held the prisoner in the sum of 81, 800 fol
his appearance at the March term of the
circuit court for Cecil county, and Ernest
went to Jail. He has been a resident OF
Elkton for number of years, and has Q
wife and one child.

Il MYSTERIOUS FIRE.
Nearly $500 Damage Caused by a Confla-
grafton in the Smith Building.

grafton in the Smith Building.
A mysterious fire was discovered in the
Smith Building, on the east side Of Market
street between Sixth and Seventh, shortly
after 6 o'clock Tuesday morning. The
discovery was made by boy, whose name
was not obtained. Smoke which came
from the building attracted his attention
and led him to believe that the structure
was afire. Running to the police station
he appraised House Sergeant Lemuel Mari
of his suspicion. Mr. Mari got Janitor
Charles Thomas to stand at box No. IL, in
front of the city hall, in readiness to strike
an alarm If il were necessary, while he,
himself, went to the Smith Building to in
vestigate.
The sergeant traced the smoke to the
second story, to the rear room on the north
side, formerly occupied by the Hodgen
Commission Co. Bursting sopen the door,
he found a mass of flame in the south
western corner. The fire evidently had
been burning some time, for it had eaten
in the floor hole about feet long and
about Is or 20 inches wide. Mr.. Mari
quickly returned to the street and sgnalled
Mr.. Thomas to strike the alarm, winch he
did. Several companies responded and the
flames were speedily quenched.
The damage was confined to the room
already referred to and the office Of
Elicit, Johnson & Co., which is inn
mediately under the late office of the
Hodgen Commission Company. The fire
burned clear through the floor and joists
| of the latter room and made large hole
in the ceiling of the office Of Elliott, John
son IL Co. That company suffered the
greatest damage from water. Locking the
office Janitor Montgomery FASTENED to the
home OF Harlan G. Scott, an employee OF
the company, and notified him of the fire.
/ Mr.. Scott at once went to the scene and
Immediately after the fire was extin.
| guished put men to work cleaning the
office. This work was finished in time for
the office to be opened for business at the
usual hour.
The building is owned by Charles E,
Sparks Of Philadelphia, whose loss amounts
to about sl5G. The Office recently vacated
by the Hodgen Commission Company
contained scarcely anything but chair:
and the loss to that company is trifing
consisting merely of the destruction Of .
carpet The loss sustained by Elliott
| johnson d Co. amounts to about 5000
! The building is insured in the Glen Falls
/ panies and Elliott, johnson & Co. are in
sured in the German American Company.
The Hodgen Commission Company i:
said to have left the building month ago
since which time. II is stated, the key Of
the room has been in the possession of the
! company's former clerk. A light has beer
seen in the room several tunes and it j.
suspected that during the past month care
playing has been carried on there. The
fire originated in pile of paper. Thu
building was considerably damaged il
| March, 1882 by fire which started il
| about the same place.
