regarding city reservoirs. The truth is
thatall modern constructed ships carry
water condenscrs which permit OF an
abundance of fresh water being avail
able at all times. The old way Oh
shipbourd of carrying water for long
cruises is obsolete or nearly SO, be-
cause masters and crews insist ON stop

ton because Of the demand on
it for consumption by the resi-

of man or beast 1t remained for this
self-opinionated expert to set his pre-
iudiee against the teachings of science
and the observation Of thoughtful
minds. Pure water Is more neediul
to perfect health than is pure food.
Man can indulge in adulterated food
and live, but impure water will speSi-

with every living organism that re-

fore the Importance Of pure water in
the dairy and the necessity of procur-

securing it. The action of water on
the milk secretion is fairly well under

of butter is too well defined to admit
of the use of stagnant water by ths
dliry COW, notwithstanding the Ia

The Treasury Departments sum

last eleven months shows that the
decrease of immigrants for the full
year will exceed 1900 The total
will probably be 300, 900 as against
$50, 600 for the preceding year Hard
times in the United States, discour-
ag ng reports sent home by those
who actually left this country, ac-
count fer tie decrease. That the
number of this class has been quite
large the reports OF the steamship

to have been kept up against I'M

Probably this decrease in immigra.
tion is only temporary, and when
times grow better In the United

Then the immigrants who have the

sun a Baby at Eighteen.

Mary Frances. the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Henry, Of 1912 Aspen street,
Philadelphia, was born May 10, 1871.
The ch Id at birth was an unusually
healthy and we'll developed baby, sa S
the Inquirer, and for the first eight
months she showed signs Of the usual
development in children. There was
- lack of growth, no lack of appetite
Nr anything else that could for mo-
gment make either the pare ntS o. II 9
ANedical attendant doubt that the
Ihild was not natural and normal in
respe IS. Indeed in health and
appetite the little one ha never
given any oub.e. AT the age Of $
months development, both mental
ana physical, stopped altogether an
the only difference to-day in the
young woman, now over Is ears old,
and the babg OF months is that the
head may be a little larger and lips a
little more prominent. She still sub
sists upon baby food No stronger
sound proceeds from the lips of the
1S-yearol child to-day than when
she was 3 months old. She has never
made any attempt to get on her feet,
and her arms and legs are just as
small and dimpled as when, in baby
hood. she prattled on her mothers
knee.
The first intimation that the
family ever had of the child's lack OF
development was when it was noticed
that the little one made no attempt
to talk or even to creep or walk
The mother on observing this at once
consulted several doctors all of whom
made examinations but failed to dis.
Germ anything pronounced in lack OF
development. Some of them stated
that the little one would, in a few
years, or probably a few months, re
gain what the mother thought was d
rack of energy Time we on and
yet nc improvement took place.
Hospitals and doctors iunumerable
were visited and consulted, b 1t all to
no avail in giving the child renewed
yigor.
Everything possible has been done
to make the little one comfortable,
and she seems as happy and bright
to-day as the ordinar babe. She
moves but little, even when placed
oItside the house She is happy
when she hears Others singing or
playing around her and will then hum
to herself ne of her eyes has
partially given way, and the child
shows a desire to use the cit eye
more than the right one.
