After feeding, just as quickly as pos

While the bottles were boiling Miss
Margaret Mccarthy. the assistant SUI
pervising nurse, showed the young
mother how TO sterilize the bottles and
nipples after they came out Of the
water
Never lay bottle on its side, but
turn it up said Miss Mccarthy.

may be made to have all Government
forest employees furnished with similar
clothing. These men are exposed to
much bad weather. A suitable uni.
form is certainly essential to their per-
forming their duties satisfactorily.
Now that the forest reservations
have become a source of revenue to
the Government the duties of the for
esters are more important, and their
instructions are more rigid In 1898
there was cut and sold about 100000
worth of timber from Western forest
reserves. With proper care of the for
ests and an efficient corps of men to
guard against forest fires, it is ex-
pected that this revenue viii steadily
increase.
Timber is in every country an i'm.
portant natural product, and in this
country it has been especially plenti-
full, but up to within four or five years
the American forests were allowed to
run down and left in bad condition.
Since Commissioner Binger Herman
became the official head controlling
the forests many schemes have been
instituted to repair the damaged for
ests, and their present improved con-
dition is largely due to his strenuous
efforts. One of his most recent
schemes is the telephone system,
which was established in California

Science Guards Baby's Dinner. <
An object Mothers Regarding Proper
Care the Nursing Bottle.


That the nursing bottle, either di-
rectly or indirectly, is the cause OF the
majority of deaths of infants is the
consensus Of opinion among the best
medical authorities. Much as has
been written and prayed and preached
against it, there are few mothers who
regard the nursing bottle with the
proper amount of fear which it in
spires in the man Of science.
ALWAYS remember that there is a

young mother the other day by Mrs.

wcll-to-do Harlem tradesman, had
gone over to the island TO find out how

read in the papers and the magazines
hundreds Of directions, and none of
them seelled to agree, or else the di-
rections were not worded plainly. Her

have somebody show her exactly how

tracts with producers in South Georgia.

bama and Mississippi, for the purchase
of their output. Nearly all producers for

have been. or soon will be- dropped by
the octopus, which makes it necessary
for them to seek an open market for
their stuff. Savannah receipts have all
ready begun to increase slightly, the
Florida receipts during the week being
from Carrabelle, and also as far south
as Tampa.
The contracts the Standard had with
many producers, and sill has with some,
is to buy their output on a basis of Sa-
vannah quotations less certain charges
which msk it to the advantage of the
producer to sell on the spot. The acccum-
