THE MAIDSTONE ATTACKED.

ohio owns maidstone which was be-
o,cathed It by an old darkey nnmed
r,enp. The stone Is Kept In the state
Library at Columbus, and recently 1t was
applied to the wound Of woman. VINO
supposed that bite she had received was
from a mad dog. Subsequently 1t was
shown that the dog was not mad, but
tho woman, almost died from blood-poison-
Ing all the same. .a
We hear that the medical faculty OF tho
state are indignant that Ohio should lend
her officers and offices to any such hum
bugRcry as this. The person who sought
the use Of the maidstone may possibly
have received the blood-poisonins from
that source. There Is no telling about
that. for we do not know to how many
wounds and sores the old stone had been
previously applied. However, wise pro-
caution seems to have been taken IN
submerg1ng the stone In boiling milk be-
foro 1t was applied.
Hero !n,virginia tho maidstone has been
.luughed out Of countenance" 50 to
speak. Once upon a time one "as n.y.
at the penitenuary. where 1t was free for for
the use OF any person who came there to
have it applied to his wound. Later, yet
we heard Of another stone selling for $as
at public auction In the country. since
then the maidstone has not been much
sought for, our people having become
,nte,lipent enough to know that 1t is
without virtue, while, as exemplified In
tho Ohio case, there may be danger OF
blood poisoning lurking In 1t.
But the maidstone had its day in Vlr-
ginia once. and we asked an ol 'al-tirf't'

MR.. ROYALL'S PLAN.

DR.. W. C. Woodward, the health officer
OF the District of Columbia, has been
making scientific investigation into the
Increased infantile mortality there. and
has reached the conclusion that much OF
1t is due to the substitution Of artificial
foods for mothers milk
He finds that some mothers decline to
nurse their babies because OF the demands
Of sociey upon them or personal vanity.
Other mothers find artificial feeding nee
essary because they are unable to supply
natural nourishment, or because they find
1t necessary to leave their Infants during
certain part OF each day in order to
earn livelihood. He thinks few posi-
bly, give artificial nourishment too soon
In an honest belief that It is what tho
child requires.
The mothers who wlllfully neglect their
infants he characterizes as guilty OF race
murder"
Dr. Woodward Is Of the opinion that
the remedy for this state Of things is IN
tho diffusion of sanitary knowledge par
.tlcularly with respect to infantile oiet
and disease, in the establishment OF suit
able day nurseries, and In the continued
improvement OF the milk supply.

Register adds that this Incident must

Of tho unfavorable comment It mas Justly

Claim Backbone of Minneapolis Strike
Is Broken.

Minneapolis. Sept. 29--Is the back
bone of the big milling strike broken?
The mill proprietors claim that it is.
Despite the enthusiasm displaye" at
the meeting of strikers Sunday after
takes the falls" the cheering elo-
quence of emphatic orators. and he
assurances Of financial aid from the
$4,000 organized labor men of Minro-
apolis, the mill proprietors say that
applications are being made right
along for reinstatement by the older
class of employees.
The mill companies are turning a
deaf ear. it is said. to the single men
among the strikers. but are taking
hack men with families who have been
working at the mill for any consider
able time. Most of these. thus far,
are said to be millers.
At the strikers headquarters this is
vehemently denied. and preparations
are going ahead to prepare circular
to be sent to the labor organizations
throughout the country.
AS far as numbers go. there were
enough men yesterday to operate six
of the flour mills.
The claim of the millers is that 49,
900 barrels of flour. about one-fourth
of the capacity of the mills. was
ground yesterday. Only ten cars of
flour. however were received by the
transfer company.
a new embarrassment confronts the
millers. The union electricians. mill
Wrights. firemen. engineers and watch.
men have been called out. The millers
say their places can be filled.
