Why. the Man With the Long Beard
Was Embarrassed.
Seated on bench in Central Park
a nurse girl was gently moving to and
fro perambulator in which was a
baby of about fifteen months At the
other end Of the bench was a man
whose prominent lower jaw was
adorned with luxuriant beard which
parted in the middle and curved
gracely outward and upward.
For several minutes the baby re-
garded the man, and especially the
whiskers, with grave attention, while
he looked at her with an air of lofty
condensation. At length a beatific
smile overspread the little ones feat
ures. Then, with her blue eyes still
fixed upon the whiskers, and kicking
up her tiny feet in an ecstasy of de-
light, she gurgled:
"Bow-wow! Bow-wow!"
A wave of color suffused the mans
face above the whiskers and he hitch
ed himself uneasily in the seat 1t was
was an awkward situation, and to re-
lieve it the nurse girl said:
mo, dearie, that isn't doggie."

Bad Milk and infant Mortality.

The health officers of Sydney and
melbourne, Australia, say that one
infant out of every seven that die in
these cities is killed by filthy milk
Some OF the people in those cities
are urging the authorities to adopt
the chicago method and treat all dirty
cans with blows from a sharp axe.
"A New Zealand paper says: walk
ing down the streets of the Empire
CITY on recent Sunday morning
passersby were struck by the sight
OF trio of filthy milk cans that were
SO obviously unfit for the use to which
they were put that the most callous
could hardly refrain from expires.
sions OF horror and disgust. The cans
referred to were in main street of
wellington city, few chains from
the Premier's residence, and it was
nobody's business to interfere. Had
the sight been witnessed in an Amer.
lean city, few blows of an axe would
nave prevented these filthy disease
spreaders from doing further injury:
put mere they may be allowed to go
on carrying disease and death to
scores OF children for many years to
come"
infant mortality due to the use OF
pad milk is inexcusable as it is SO
easy to prevent the use of such milk.
IN the past, much Of this mortality
mas been due to ignorance, as people
never connected the poor milk with
the digestive disorders that carry
on SO many small children. Now that
the truth is known, there is no rea.
son why the slaughter should not
stop.
