Child's Digestion left Weak

Peril of Sudden Change in Fall to

Mothers should remember that the baby
had a. hard fight through all these hot days

Even if your baby has so far resisted the
prevalent fatal disorders, cholera infantum
and diarrhoea, its strength and power Of
digestion has certainly been much weak

dreaded cholera tnfantum.
This is the history Of 50 many fatalities
among infants in September.
Prudent mothers Will take the advice of
physicians and continue to make lactated
food babys regular diet. Tho early fall
weather is as perilous as the worst month
Of summer There are extreme changes in
temperature; the return home from the
sonshore or country brings new conditions
in babys surroundings that it is not easily
accustomed to. Physicians know that the
food of children must be most carefully
watched while baby is getting used to fall

and from faulty nutrition in lactated food.
Babies and young children always develop
a strong appetite when fed on This best of

has been put upon the lawn and flower

out of repair and will have to be almost
entirely replaced. While the rooms are
in some respects not so well adapted for
girls dormitory as if they had been
planned for the purpose, they will with a
few changes, make commodious and pleas
ant lodging-rooms, studies, dining and
reception rooms, and they will have GER

The very timely suggestion has been
made that the alumnae and friends of the
university. and especially those interested
in the girls department, should show
their interest in this new enterprise by
contributing to the furnishing of the dor
mitory. The spacious parlors should have
appropriate if possible antique or colon

rugs for the floors, curtains for the win

of the pretty ana dainty things which
girls love, will help to make a happy life

liens, whom we know to have been
financially dishonest, unkind to their
families, or Incorporate; and yet tn"
papers speak of them as models. But
the most striking illustration recently
appearing is this: She was of a ner"-
Gus temperament and was easily moved
to anger, but she was also of a forgiV-
ing spirit, and frequently retracted a
hasty remark This reminds us of an
English drama that represents some
military man as having shot barmaid
and satirically adds that the noble fell

her, and expressed a Willingness tc
