formerly ascrlbed to dentition are due
to unhygienic causes. A slight fevel
and swelling and inflammation of the
gums accompany teething. 1t is never
advisable to rub the gums much; in
this, as IN many other matters, nature
will do best if not interfered with.
AS rule milk is an all sufficient
food for an infant during the first year
of its life, and should form the staple
article of diet for four or five SUBJ
sequent years. AT the age of one
year soft boiled egg or tablespoon.
full of some cereal, with cream, may
be gwen once day. Baked potatoes
finely mashed, and baked apple are
permissionable. AT the age of eigh-
teen or twenty months the child should
be weaned from the bottle and should
be fed four or FIVE times daily. The
only meats that should be given are
beet, mutton and chicken. Stewed
fruits or fruits baked in a stone jar in
oven, fruit jams or jellies form
pleasing addition to the child's bill of
fare.
After three years of age three meals
a day are sufficient, with perhaps a
glass of milk during the longest inter-
val between meals. The child should
not be permitted to eat between
meals. Though little candy or plain
cake at a meal might not be abso-
lutely dangerous, it is far better if the
young child never tastes these articles
and consequently never desires them.
Bread made from the whole wheat is
wholesome, as it supplies the phos-
phorous necessary to the formation of
bone"

The Feeding of Infants.
Hygenic Rules For Teething Babies Diet Of
Child a Year Old.

The following article is taken from
recent issue of the New York
Tribune. Mildred h. Smith, the
writer named, was formerly Miss
Mildred Knorr, of this town, and is
the wife of DR.. E. Franklin Smith, of
New York City.
"The feeding, dressing and care of
children is subject with which every
young mother should be thoroughly
well acquainted, and advice on so
important matter should be based
on both scientific grounds and practi-
cal experience" said a physician
yesterday.
'It is well for the mother to keep
continually before her the fact that
no one can violate the laws of nature
with impunity. If the nursing mother
obeys the laws Of hygiene, eats a
proper amount of simple, nutritious
food, eschews strong coffee and other
stimulating drinks, has plenty of fresh
air and exercise, and maintains an
even and cheerful disposition, the
babe will suffer little from intestinal
troubles, and will cut its teeth much
easier and enjoy happier existence.
Much helpful advice along this line
is given by Mildred X. Smith in
Tile M0kAer's Journal. She states
that cows milk contains a large
amount of proteids or caseln and
lesser quantity of sugar and fat than
mothers milk. The increased amount
of protelds causes the large curd,
which is so difficult to digest. To
remedy these differences the cows
milk must be diluted with water to
reduce the amount of proteids; add
sugar.. sterilize to destroy any germs
that may exist in the milk. The
bottle should be placed in warm water
to raise its temperature to blood heat,
and this is an important point, as the
child often refuses food because the
temperature is not what it should be.
A small quantity of baked flour added
is sometimes of assistance in aiding
the babys digestion. AS the child
advances In age the amount of water
should be diminished and the amount
of milk increased, the mother being
guided by .he ease with which the
child digests its food and also bearing
In mind that the food always needs
some water.
The bottle after each feeding should
be washed with hot water and soda,
as absolute cleanliness is essential.
Hence 1t is better for the mother to
look after these things herself rather
than to entrust them to an inefficient
nurse who can see no reason fol being
so "particular."
The difficulties of denttion, which
are often SO trying to both mother
and child, will be greatly lessened il
not entirely done away with If the
child is properly nourished and has
formed regular habits before teethine
begins. 1t is now generally acknowl
/! edged that many OF the ills Of infancy

DEMOCRATS SOLID AGAINST QUAY.
Representative Greasy Declares No Member
Of Tho Party In the House Will Aid
the Former Senator.

Hon. w. T. Greasy, who has
been on the ground, and ought to
know what he is talking about,
has the following to say concerning
the situation at Harrisburg, on the
Senatorial question
"1n my opinion there are no
Democrats in tine present House
who will vote for Quay for United
States Senator. / base this opinion
upon what the members themselves
have told me, and from the letters
I have received from prominent
Democrats giving me the assurance
that their representatives will vote
for a Democrat for United States
Senator.
IF Quay is not elected OH the
first ballot, and I do not see how he
can be, he will not be elected at all.
know it to be fact that fully one
third of the members sitting on the
Quay side of the House are wishing
away down deep in their hearts that
he may be defeated. Their only
hope is that there will soon come a
day when they can serve a constitu-
ency instead of a master.
II feel confident that the Demo-
Gratis will stand for reform legisIa-
ton. The independents are for it,
and as the Quayites have also de-
clared for reform, there is little
doubt that the people will get lots
of it this Fall. At the same time it
would be we'll for the public to
keep an eye on these different
parties and factions to see whether
or not they carry out their prom
ises.
"a prominent Quay Senator
stated at Harrisburg the other day
that they (the Quayites) would fill
the people so full with reform legis-
lation that they would look like
barns after harvest with straw stick
ing out of the cracks. These
promises are very similar to those
contained in the Quay platform of
1895. The pledges made at that
time, as everyone knows, were
never fulfilled, and for this reason
believe that Quay will be defeated.
doubt if the people can be fooled
twice with the same chaff."

possession about embalmed beef
that have never been made public,
but which may be included in the
answer that he will make in his
own time to ex-Secretary Alger' S
attack upon him. Speaking of the
matter Gen. Miles said "Mr.
Alger, by publishing a book and
by the use of the public press in
dealing with facts connected with
the Spanish war, has laid himself
open to reply by an army officer
who is in any way affected bv the
statements made. While I have
not yet fully decided on the course
l shall pursue in the matter, it is
very likely I shall at some future
time put on record few facts which
it will be impossible to whistle
down" The Administration has
such dread of what Gen. Miles
may say that veiled threats of re-
moving him from the command of
the army if he replies to Alger
have been made. Mr.. Mckinley,
as all the world Knows, would well
come an excuse to humiliate Gen.
Miles, and since the Senate Military
Committee adopted the ideas of
Gen. Miles on army reorganization,
in place of the plan known as
the Root pian-prepared by Gen.
Corbin-Secretary Root would
gladly help. For that reason some
of Gen. Miles friends are trying to
get him to wait until after his re-
tirement to have his final say.

accomplished his object.

PHILIP D. ARMOUR.

The death of Philip D. Armour.
the industrial king. occurred at the
family home in Chicago, on Sun
day, and is attributed directly to a
heavy cold, contracted while snow
balling his grandchildren a few
days previous. This developed in
to complication of diseases, in
which the kidneys and lungs were
involved.
The Armour estate is estimated
to be worth SIS, 900. This
vast accumulation is the result ol
the pork packing industry. Mrs.
Armour and ]. Ogden Armour, an
only son, will inherit the bulk OF
1t.
Some idea of Mr.. Armour S
traits can be found from the follow

his pockets with gold pieces and
distributed them among his 2oc
clerks. Whenever one OF his EN-,
