THE CARE OF BABIES.
Hot Weather Instructions Issued by
DIR. Woodward.

Dr. W c. Woodward, the District Health
Officer, has issued circular of instructions
to the various physicians 10 the poor re-
garding the care of infants during the
summer The circular was prepared with
considerable care, and is intended for the
information of the public as well as that
of the agents OF the health Department.
The circular says in the beginning that
children suffer from the effects of foul air
quicker than adults. and that for this
reason the home should be kept especially
clean and well ventilated. The baby
should be given plenty of fresh air. On
very hot days it should be kept cut in
the open air in the early mornings and in
the evening The child should never be
exposed to the hot rays of the sun, and
if taken out of doors during the middle
Of the day should be kept on the shady
side of the street or under the shade of
trees. The babys eyes should always be
protected from bright light, and its cloth
ing should be light, clean, and cool, SO as
to permit the freedom of the limbs. Ali
clothing worn by the child during the
day, II to be worn the following day,
should be hung out to be aired at night.
Tub baths and sponges should be used
every day. The child should be put TO
sleep at regular hours during the day and
always in a bed, if possible.

not, in the Health Officers opinion, be
given babies for purposes OF producing
quiet or sleep unless ordered by the physi-
clan. Plenty of water should be given the
child to drink and preferably water that
has been boiled and cooled. Infants should
be nursed every two hours during the
day time and once in the night time until
they are four or five months old. After
that age 1t is not deemed advisable to feed
them so often. every three hours during the
day, and once each night being considered
sufficient The child should not be wean-
ed before or during hot weather, nor be-
fore 1t is ten months old. At any other
time, as soon as the centre teeth have
appeared. the child should have, in ad-
dition to milk, one or two other meals a
day, consisting OF milk and stale bread,
or broth not containing too much grease
Heat kills babies and young children
largely because 1t spoils their milk and
food. and, DR.. Woodward states, in the
circular, that If these are kept fresh
cholera infantum will hardly occur. Chill
dren should also be vaccnated by the time
they are one year old.

THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Suit Growing Out of the Failure oi
Porferfelu & Co


In the case of W. NJ. Coope against Por-
terfeld & Co Judge Cox yesterday dis
solved the injunction restraining the as
signees from paying the creditors and re-
fused to dismiss the bill which seeks to
make j. Marriott Hill and George d. Hop
kins partners in the firm. He gave the
complainant sixty days in which TO take
testimony. The complainant is represented
by Andrew A. Lipscomb and j. Walter
Wheatley, and the defendants by ]. X. NJ.
Norton and Edmund Burke.
The contention of the complainant is
that the assignment of Porterfield & Co,
executed last January, is fraudulent and
void, and that the fraud was participated
in by Richard II. Taylor and Thomas F.
Young. the assignees named in the deed
of assignment. for the purpose of shielding
Hill and Hopkins from financial liability
for the debts of the firm. which are esti-
mated at 100000 mainly due to nom resi-
dent creditors. The contention of the de-
PENDANTS in the cause was that the debt
of Coope and other creditors was gam
bling contracts, arising from transactions
on the stock board of the firm, and that
such creditors were without redress in a
court of equity.
In another proceeding it has been sought
to have the firm declared bankrupts. but
Judge Cox held that such claims were rot
sufficient for that purpose. The effect of
this decision In the District of Columbia
is to leave no redress to persons engaged
In stock speculation save in the criminal
courts

rhe Insufficient Water supply.

During the past two months the office
of the District Engineer Commissioner has
been flooded with complaints regarding
lack of pressure and insufficient water sup
ply at a number of houses on NJ and n
Streets near Fourteenth Street and on
Fourteenth Street, Vermont. Rhode Island,
and Massachusetts Avenues in the same
neighborhood Most of the cases were in
vestigated by the Water Department and
the statements made by the property own
ers and tenants found to be accurate. The
Commissioners state that they are power
less to afford any relief to the sufferers
until after the completion OF the Aqueduct
Tunnel leading from the reservoir at Dale
carlia on the Conduit Road. to the Howard
University Reservoir. In many parts OF
the city it has been ascertained that there
has been a great waste of water and 1t Is
maintained that If this were obviated many
property owners who are now deprived OF
water would not have to make such COM
plant to the Commissioners and the Water
Department.
