There is a family out in South Cum
minsville that has developed a penchant
for raw eggs to a degree almost impos-
sible TO believe. 1t is common talk in
the neighborhood that from the head of
the family down TO the youngest child
raw eggs form almost their entire diet,
and even the animals on the place are
fond of the same food. The head of
the household has several incubators,
and raises poultry for a living. Per
haps this has something to do with it.
One day last week a stranger called
at the place and was surprised to see
three young children sitting along in
a row, each with several raw eggs in
front of them, which they seemed to
relish immensely, while the hired man
was feeding an old horse and n New
foundland dog the same dose, which
they appeared to enjoy equally as much
as the children. If the hens were sud-
denly to go on a strike ii would break
the head of the house in a week to sup
ply the common demand of his fam
lily for raw eggs at any and all stages

Lewis Smith, perhaps the best author
ity in the country on children's dis
eases, professor in Bellevue Hospital
College, New York, commends its use
There are hundreds of physicians in
New England, says the Boston Journal
who Prescribe lactated food invariably
as the nearest approach to healthy
mothers milk, and as a rich baby food
that builds up the strength and bodies
of young children and invalids.
Most mothers are Obliged to shorten
the nursing period. The long exacting
duty is far beyond their strength
Whereas healthy mothers milk is un-
questionably the best infant food, it be-
comes the source OF mischief as soon as
it grows weak watery and lacking in
the power of feeding.
Toward the close of the nursing per-
iod, or when nursing is prOtracted
through the entire hot Summer, few
mothers are able to nurse their growing
babies as they ought 1t is rare that
the brett .,.l- does not show a decided
falling Gil in richness. Infants fed at
the breast on such milk. insufficient in
quality and amount. soon show the ef-
feet in colicky attacks and in diminish
ed growth from week to week Their
dropping heads are continually moist
and a panied, drawn expression-the
sign of weakness-often steals over
their faces.
No mother can be long in doubt about
what to do
The food must be changed to a rich
safe diet of lactated food. Parents some
times make the mistake of employing
cows milk without personal knowledge
of its fitness for baby's food; trouble
ensues in many cases. DiarrhOea anC
cholera infantum result from just such
ill-advised substitutes. Fully one-hali
the infant deaths are caused by i'm
proper feeding.
When breast milk is insufficient ol
the mother not well, lactated food may
be absolutely relied on to take the place
of vigorous mothers milk.

views of Henry CIeyvs.

In reviewing the financial situation Henry
Clews saws: Affairs in Wall street are
still following IA process of fermentation
and development which. though not UNI
versaIly seen or understood. is steadily
working towards better conditions and
higher values The truth is that people are
awakening to the conviction that the last
four years of depression has not been due
solely TO our monetary troubles. but that
it's causes have run deep into our whole
business structure. There has been an
earthquake disturbances OF the general ba-
sis OF business. affecting almost every form
of capital and investment. and helping 10
produce the paralysis OF production and the
interruption of trade of which we have had
such sorry experience. This special un-
derlying cause has been the extraordinary
increase in plant and i'm the general
pacity for production arising from the
progress OF invention within the last twenty
or twenty-five years The undue expansion
of production from this cause has produced
a decline i'm prices which affects everybody
and every interest. To the Wage-earning
classes IL has brought many great advan-
tageS. but 10 the owners OF large capitals
it has meant a decline in the value of al
most every kind OF property they hold
Capital has therefore been less sought for
employment and has yielded smaller re-
turns or none at all. and its owners have
been very cautious about how they en-
