Hnsnitnl for Sick Babies.

DR.. William q. Macdonald, city
physician, has devised scheme to re-
duce the mortality of infants during
the summer months. The startling
number OF deaths during last July aud
August convinced him that they must
have sea air, pure milk and care. Ia
the tenement districts of the city,
where deaths are numerous every
year, he finds 1t almost impossible 10
treat infants with cholera lufautum,
because of the surroundings. Dr.
Macdonuld's scheme Is to take the
small island just beyond the iron pier
at Marine park, South Boston, which
Is unused now, and erect tents. and
place a milk plant IN operatlc- The
doctors and nurses will pro be
furnished from the city hospital. The
island can be reached from any section
Of the city by electric cars to City
Point. There will be outdoor and in-
door departments
About one week ago Dr. Macdonald
described his idea to mayor Quincy,
who was favorably impressed. The
mayor will lend his influence to se.
cure the location, and the city council
will doubtless assist in the scheme rs
far rs possible. DR.. Macdonald wrote
to Conrad Rueter, secretary of the
Boston city hospital trustees, in rela-
ton to the matter They viii consid-
er the scheme Mt their next meeting,
aud it is expected that they will do all
in their power to make it "A success.
The hospital will only be used during
the summer months, but 1t was thought
advisable to make the matter public at
this time SO that the necessary ar
engagements can be made for next
summer. The members Of the city
government it lis thought will make an
appropriation which will be small, to
perfect the plans already laid out.

Massachusetts Drug store.

Acting governor Wulcott has received
the report of the above board, which
says: The efforts made by the board
in 1895 to carry out the intent and
purposes OF the law of 1894 relating
to the granting of liquor certificates
to druggists, the suggestions and re-
quests III our last report for such
changes in the law as would make the
intent and purpose more definite and
effective, caused much discussion by
the press and the Legislature from
| January to May, 1896. In view of
the general depression of business,
the misunderstanding and at times
malicious Misrepresentation of the
efforts of the board were most unfor-
tunate, and may prove in Its results
loss rather than II gain to reputable
| pharmacy.
"WhiIe there has been progress in
| the educational and skllful conduct of
| drug stores rs class, and every city
and many towns have what may be
considered strictly reputable and
absolutely reliable pharmacy, there
are also many so-cailcd drug stores
| that are unreliable, hazardous, "a source
! of much that is evil, demoralizing
aud menace III any community.
! Many stores of this class were, and
some are now, owned aud controlled
by ex-saloon keepers, and others, who
employ Il registered pharmacist who
has an interest on paper only, or, at
best, nominal investment, thereby in
creaslng the number of drug stores be-
yond any legitimate demand, and in
too many cases forcing II resort to il
legitimate pharmacy. The report re-
cites that during the year ending
Oct, |, 575 applications in pharmacy
were examined. OF the 575 candi-
dates 455 were refused and 10 were
granted the certificates. OF the 40
who were successful Is passed on the
first examination, 10 on the second,
% on the third, % on the fourth, %
on the fifth, 6 on the sixth, on the
seventh, 3 on the eighth, l on the
ninth, l on the tenth, 2 on the
eleventh, 2 on the thirteenth and 9
on the fourteenth, For successful
examination the board requires 200
out of a possible 800 percent"

BOSTON LETTER



The Massachusetts nautical training
school commissioners had an inquiry
into the charges made against tue OIL
GERS OF the training ship Enterprise,
which were to the effect that some OF
the twenty-five cadets who we're sick
with dlphtheria on the voyage to this
port did not receive proper care; that
during the cruise sufficient food was
not served, and that some of the ra-
tions were not tit 10 eat. The charges
we're brought by James T. Clare
OF Quincy, whose son was sick
on board the Enterprise, and died a
few days after arriving IN Boston. Mr..
Clare was represented 10y lawyer Paul
Blackner, who claimed, after the hear
ing was declared opened, that the
commission should investigate the
charges of its own volition, and that
the burden and expense should not be
put on Mr.. Glare. Admiral Belknap
coutended that the commission could
not investigate unless written charges
were presented, aud after long dis
cussion, Mr.. Biackuer announced his
intention of making the charges and
assuming the responsibility.

"SampIes for the Million. "

Samples for the million" Is what
the managers of the Food fair adver-
tise. Such words are potent in their
charm for those people who are always
ON the outlook for chance to get
something for nothing, and they have
not been slow IN their attempts to sup.
ply themselves with anything and
everything that is offered from the
gay booths that now adoru Mechanics
building. The frantic rush to the
exhibit where a speck Of ice cream is
served without money and without
price is certainly amusing. 1t takes
fifty gallons each day to supply the
demand. One of the numerous con-
tectlonery dealers gives away Il hum
dred pounds OF nuggets daily, the
baked beans, the tens of thou
sands OF crackers, the barrel of
potato chips and dozens of packages
of shaved beef that are part of the
distribution. 1t is estimated that
nearly five thousand little hot griddle
cakes are devoured between the open

thousand biscuits that are given out

The new processes of preparing tapi-

1t is announced that the policy
holders committee of the Massachu-
sets benefit life association have Sc
cured more than the number of sigma
lures to their petition required by the
act of 1896 authorizing the inves-
tigation, and consequently the petition
will go at once to the governor. He will
appoint commission with power to
probe the associations affairs to the
bottom, Major Merrill's hastily APP
pointed committee will thus be incon-
tinently elbowed out of the way. 1t

fastening to forestal the action of

How Bangor Was Named.

The story of how Bangor got her
melodious name is told thus: Seth
Noble was sent to the General Court
of Massachusetts, to represent Con
deskeng plantation and it was his in
tcnton to procure charter for what
Is now Bangor, but in another name.
Mr. Noble was given to singing more
or less and the old tune Bangor was
was one of his fayorlte pieces. He was
in the lobby hummlng the tune when
he was approached by one of the
officers of the court with the
query of What is the name? Mr..
Noble thought reference was made to
the tune he was humming aud replied.
oh, the Bangor, and paid no more
attention to the gentleman who turned
aud left him. The gentleman had at
trlbuted his answer as the name to be
used in the act of incorporation and
the name Bangor was inserted. But no
objections were raised by Mr.. Noble
or any others 50 far as known" So
Bangor lived piously and sung none
but psalm tunes ever after.

Electrical soap.

A battery has been patented con-
sistiug of a source Of electrical energy
placed inside a cake of toilet soap.
The device is intended for curative
applications of electricity to the
human body. To use the language of
the inventor, "the invention is based
on the fact that the chemical de-
composition of soap is such that
when dissolved in water it
produces liquid having an ex-
citing effect upon certain metallic
electrodes placed in proximity to form
an electric battery. The arrange
ment of the electrodes is such that
they may be reached by the solution
formed in the use of the same, and
provided with terminals on the ex-
terror of the soap through which the
electric current is transmitted to the
person OF the user. The elements of
a simple galvanic battery are used
and the effect of the current is inten-
sified by the addition of an induction
coil. "-PhiladeIphia Record.

Two of our sister American republics,
Mexico and Chilli, have recently elect
ed presidents. In both countries the
system Of choosing presidents is mod
eled upon ours; that is, there is no d.
rect popular vote for presidents, but
they are chosen by electors who are
elected by the people. In Mexico the
constitution was amended some years
ago to permit president to be can
didate for reelection; and the result
of the election just held was the al
most unanimous reelection of Presl-
dent Diaz. The term is four years.
President Diaz was first elected in 1876.
In 1884, President Gonzales having
served term in the interval President
Dlaz was again chosen, and has held
the office since by successive re-elec-
tons.

the knowledge that so many forms of

~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is

If in the enjoyment of good health,
