Shreveport Caucasian: The state

remarkable body, and in many in.
stances it is the exception to all
known constitutional exceptions
ever recorded. From the begin
ing OF the session g. majority of
the delegates have assumed that
the only mission Of the conven-
tlon was to legislato for the Dem
ocratic party. Had their work
been confined to this announce
ment the convention would have
been credited with having done
much good, but nearly all its acts
bear the stamp of the rankest of
factlonalism. It is not so much
the success of Democracy as it is
to give the continued power of con-
troll to political barnacles and time
servers, especially in New Orleans.

Whatever the work remaining
to be done by the Convention, its
main and important labor is over.
and we may now reasonably Judge
of its character.
| One need not recite in detail its
failure to accomplish results, either
satisfactory to the State as a whole
or to its partisan divisions. The
Democratic party, if we may be-
lleye its organs, is in bitter oppo-
sition to the work of its delegates.

are not difficult to discover. Such
purpose was merely secondary to
the intention of those who repre-
sented in the body the one-man
outside who dictated its endeavor
and for whose personal end all its
efforts were directed.
Providing Offices for as mapy
of Fosters henchmen as possible |
was the first and basic consitlera-
ton of the ruling power in and
out of the Convention. And when
this was accomplished to insure
their success in obtaining the Off
ces was the crowning effort. To
say that these representatives did
not secure these ends would be to
oelittle them. Regardless of all
interests, moved by tho single pur-
pose to hold, possess and enioyI

LONG-TUBED BOTTLES UNSAFE.
Health Omccr LeHardy Against
Their Use for Nursing Children.

Health Omccr LeHardy Against
Their Use for Nursing Children.
Health officer LeHardy considers the
Iong-tubed nursing bottle, which is now
being used extensively by mothers in Sa-
vannah, danger to the health of children,
and especially infants, who are injured
most by matter that collects In the small
tubes. 1t is stated the tubes are too small
to clean easily, and for that reason they
are unsafe
In cities where an increase of infant
mortality was attributed to these bottles
ordinances have been passed prohibiting
their sales. About one year ago. 1t is
stated, DIR. Wende, health officer of Buff
falo N. Y, set his face against the Tong
tubed bottle, stating that il had been con-
demncd by the physicians of that city, and
that a large decrease of infant mortality
had followed the issuance of him of a cir
cular giving warnings against its use.
Through his efforts an ordinance was
passed prohibiting its sale on the ground
it was injurious to the health of infants.
When violated the accused was fined, but
it seems there was always some trouble
experienced in enforcing it, Resolutions
were afterwards passed against the ordi-
nance, but the Physicians League of Buff
falo took the matter up, and strongly sup
ported the law by clear and precise resoiu-
tons.
while I do not think it is good policy
to compel our people by ordinance to stop
using long-tubed nursing bottles" said
DR.. LeHardy yesterday, II believe that
an occasional article by members of the
medical profession, showing the dangers
to which children using the bottles are ex-
posed, would induce all sensible people
to put them aside. There are nurses and
busy mothers who are inclined to prefer it
either to save time or because it enables
them to indulge in gossip or read novels
ANY one who has washed a nursing bot
tie and allowed it TO dry fully appreciates
the difficulty of getting il clean and clear
again. If this is the case with hard, smooth
glass, does it not point 10 the impossibility
of cleaning the rubber tube? Particles of
milk butter, cheese, or other animal or
vegetable substance will stick to the tube
every time 1t is used These particles ac-
cumulate, and finally begin to smell bad
", or become active ferments. And these
ferments cause changes in the milk placed
in the bottle or when it gets into the
childs stomach, producing that class of
poison known as ptomaines. vomiting and
other serious symptoms, which frequently
occur a short time after taking the con-
tents Of these nursing bottles, may be due
to these chemical products"
While DR.. LeHardy thinks mothers
should be discreet about the use of these
bottles. and stop their use without being
compelled to do so by the passage of an
ordinance, he does not believe in this kind
of legislation TO preserve the public health,
but believes a word of warning should be
sufficient.

JEWISH wOMEN's COUNCIL.
Sections work for the
Coming Season.

savannah Sections work for the
Coming Season.
The first meeting of the season of the
Savannah section of the Council of jewish
Women was held yesterday afternoon at
the Sunday school room of the Temple
Mickva Israel. There was not so large
an attendance as there would have been
had there been more of the ladies in the
city who are members or interested in the
work Many of them have not as yet re-
turned from their summer trips to the
mountains and elsewhere.
The meeting was presided over by the
president, Mrs. ]. P. Mendes. There had
been a meeting of the executive board of
the section in the forenoon at the resi-
dence of the president and a plan of the
work that Is TO be followed for the year
was then mapped out. This was presented
at the afternoon meeting to the ladies, and
was adopted as suggested.
There are to be three study circles dur
ing the coming season, to be known re-
spectively as the morning, afternoon aud
evening circles. There were enough ladies
present at the meeting TO insure success
for the three circles and it is likely that
the present indications will be greatly
added to by other ladies joining in.
Ii was also decided that the studies this
year will consist of post-Bible history, Sc
lected portions of the Bible, and Hebrew
literature Some other features of the
study of the circles are yet TO be deter
mined, and a meeting Of all the circles
will be held next Sunday at II o'clock Ia
the vestry room of the temple.
The mission school that has been con-
Quoted under the auspices and at the ex-
pense of the section Is a matter of pride
to all the members. They are apprecia-
tive of the great good 1t has accomplished,
and they are very anxious for its contin-
uity The conduct of the school is con-
siderable of an expense to the ladies, but
they are ready to begin the venture again
upon what means they have in hand or in
view, with the hope of being able to sup
plement them later They have no fear
that they may prove unsuccessful in this,
and il is more than likely that the school
will be conducted this year with the same
teachers and largely the same pupils as
were had last

Late Dining
-
Injurious to Health.
Causes dyspepsia, Wakeful-
ness and Insomnia.

The habit Of dining out at night after
concerts and theatres, or at balls, brings
about a good deal of suffering. The
stomach is overloaded without the nee
essary activityt to aid the digestion The
tossing about at night and sleeplessness
are the immediate results. Dyspepsia
and indigestion are sure to follow in its
course. o
One glassful of Johann Hof's Malt
Extract taken before retiring will re-
move all this trouble. 1t will aid
the proper assimilation of the food
and produce a healthy, sound sleep.
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract should also
be taken during the day with every
meal, particularly by week and debili-
tated people and children who lack the
necessary power to digest solid food.
The Genuine Johann Hof's Malt Ex-
tract has a remarkable nutritious action,
both tonic and invigorating, and has
proved to be of great value in chronic
diseases, producing contractions of the
muscles of the digestive organs.
Prof. Coleman of GLASGOW, Scotland,
read lecture before the Philosophical
Society, in which he said:
"Our esteemed President brought
Johann Hoff's Malt Extract under my
notice about twelve months ago and
acquainted me with the fact of its hav-
ing in many cases coming under his
own observation proved of service in
restoring the energies of individuals suf-
fering from faulty nutrition.
Suffering at the time from an attack
of illness which had not only reduced
my strength, but brought on extreme
exhaustion from inability to appropriate
food, tried the effect of Johann Hoff's
Malt Extract in the usual dose of a wine
glassful twice or three times a day.
ITS use was followed by marked
effects:
First-Food which had hitherto been
found to pass the alimentary canal un-
changed, digested properly.
"Second-There appeared an increased
power of evolving animal heat and stor-
ing up fat" nt..
Beware of limitations. Take only the
Genuine Johann Hoff's Malt Extract.
