MANY SICK BABIES.

Epidemic in Des Moines.

Special to Timss-Republican.
Des Moines, Spet. 21.-Hundreds of
Des Moines babies are sufferers from
the sudden and severe changes in the
weather of last night and the past two
or three weeks.
Physicians report that scores of new
cases are coming daily to their no.
tice and the reign of infantile illness
has become almost an epidemic.
"a large per cent of my practice
during the last few days has been with
babies said one physician today.
Two or three weeks ago we had many
cases of stomach and bowel trouble,
which laid low men and women in all
parts of the city. Now it is the babies
that suffer. The sudden changes from
hot to cold have affected the little
folks much more seriously than the
adults. A long, hot summer would not
be so harmful in it's effects as these
sudden changes"
