A Serio us Mfsstatement In the s'Jour-
ual.3

The evening Journal" in pursuance
of its altered position on the water ques-
ton. had very little to say about Who
Is Kent's boom for the Rockaway ana
Hudson sewage supply. In what it did
say. however. it INDUCED in a NUMBER Oh
altogether unwarranted assumptions
and still more u~nwarrantable assertions.
Here is one VIGOROUSLY false and mis-
leading assertion. calculated to befog the
whole question and distort the pupic
Judgment concerning it,
The boards nave nothing to do but to
select the bid which is the best Tor t ne
people. and then to see see TO TT II is 'n ! case
of plain business, which ought not 10
worry any board of competent ana non
est men. The water is ia each case ine
same water; the difference is in the prlce.
The water is not the same water: That
Is the point of the whole discussion. The
Roekaway and Hudson water is the
East Jersey or Jersey City Company
water plus the sewage of Dover, Den
vile, Rockaway. Port Dram, Mt. Tabor.
Mt. Hope and about eleven miles of well
settled country. plus also the blow-oH
water of the Morris Canal with all the
pollution involved in this description.
To bring water collected from the
Rockaway River at Boenton into the
homes of Jersey City would be a crime.
Such water would be dear at any price
The Street and Water Board would not
be justified in expanding as much as
$4,000 to substitute one form of sewage
for another. lis 4Ja9-
The claim that this sewage can be
eliminated is altogether absurd There
is no way of effectually keeping it from
the river. Even if it could be done now,
it will certainly become impossible to
do it in the future. If it could be done
it would be a care ard an expense to
Jersey City for all time. The danger
We have the evidence of DR.. Leonard ].
Gordon on record to show that when in
1876 the question of a water supply
based on the Rockaway River was
nooted, the water west OF booHtoH was
found to nave deteriorated to a condition
almost as bad as the present condition
of the water at the Bellevilte intake.
Dover is now emptying eleven public
and private sewers into the river, and
thirty-two outhouses are planted on the
shore. s5uFsgs
These are u~nanswerable facts. They
finally settle the whole question. In
view of their establishment, the city
authorities cannot seriously consider
the Rockaway and Hudson proposal. 1t
would be a scandalous offense to do so.
Serious consideration of this bid ended
the moment the sources of pollution
were shown and the need for intercept
ing sewers for ages to oeme admitted
BY the company.

Eternal vigilance, especially during the

health and very existence.
The fatalities in midsummer among
the infant population are nothing short
of anna1ling. The two auses are infant
lie Indigestion combined with "a deoiii-
tating high temperature. Or, in other
words. a diet untitled to baby's neeos
in summer. The i'll effects OIL tne m
tense August heat are far reaching.

dition the mistake of over-feedlng, tnat
anxious parents too often fall 1nto' IN
stead of nourishing the little ones ohiy
brings on d~iarrhoea.
And diarrhoea, with the Temperature
high up, results in cholera infantum.
The extraordinary mortality from var
ious. forms of infantile indigestion TINS
summer has led to careful inquiry
and the best authorities on the subject
in the large cities have freely expressed
their opinions.
Several of the best known physicians
in Jersey City were interviewed yesterday
and the following question asked:
"In view of the large death rate TINS
summer of infants in Jersey City what DO
you recommend"
The general sentiment of the profession
was voiced in the following statement
from one of the most successful prac-
titioners among the children. He said:
There Is nothing equal to lactateo
food, and its use is fast becoming gen
eral among the profession. We find tina
it is retained on the stomach when al
other food is rejected or proves burden
some and a menace to the child's health
For cholera infantum I find it most
valuable. and I generally prescribe its use
at once when called to attend such cases
In almost every case where mothers
are unable to nurse their infants. I fine
that lactated food nswer best of any
thing"
Many happy mothers in Jersey City have
used 1actated food successfully wheTe
everything else failed. This food has
kept their children strong n well dur
ing the dangerous summer season anc
they have recommended it to theil
friends. who have had the same happy
experience.
