to the front few days since with
several turtles that averaged in weight
a little over 800 pounds. They were
sent to Chicago where they will be
the foundation for turtle soup for the

The babe should be held in sitting posi-

The modern scientific mother exercises
the greatest care in the selection of a
| nurse. The psychology of the question
must be considered. Never hire a ner-
vous person for a nurse.
The ideal nurse is a serene-dispositioned,
magnetic, healthy. positive persons. An
indecisive nurse is fatal. With an indie
cisive nurse YOU may expect the baby TO
! he constantly squalling. A positive per
son exercises Jhe greatest command over
fretful child. Instinctively the baby
| recognizes the strong and positive will
and yields TO it.
1t is the weak-minded. indecisive mother
or nurse who is always found trying TO
quiet her babe. fretful or sicllly nurse
exercises a disquicting and exciting in

Federal Revenues in Better Condition
Than Is Indicated by Cold
Figures.

Examination OF the operations of the
Treasury Department for the first half
of the fiscal year, which closed Deem
Der 81. indicates that Federal revenues
are in a better condition than would APP
pear from the fact that a surplus OF S.
443. 667. existed at the end OF the year
This is because the balance In the hands

as expenditures is larger than on June

this balance ran up to the highest figure
on record. S6S. coo. 600. In December Il
was much reduced. In the calendar year
just closed. the Treasury sent out Ss5.-
l@.000 for the purpose Of moving crops,
compared with 81. $4,000 in the preced-
ing year. The high price Of cotton and
its early sale caused a large demand for
crop-mOving money in the South and
the amount sent TO New Orleans in
creased from SIS, 226. 900. to $25, 229. 900.
There was also an increase of over
100000 in the payments at New York
against gold deposits In San Francis

the industrial situation IL is probable
Secretary Shaw's estimate OF a surplus
of N4OOOOO0 for the fiscal year will be
verified
1t is likely that the deficit of 500. O00. =
900 for the succeeding year will also be
verified unless Congress does some Wig
