Now these per cents are saved, largely
by subjecting the immature, delicate
kids to the right temperature. Dieting
is also an important factor, but caloric
is the main feature. There are four
teen pretty, white upright iron and
glass cases, each one holding a ghost
of baby clothed in square of steril-
lied cheese cloth. A pink ribbon bow
attached to the atom denotes a boy and
a blue one girl Most of the midgets
were asleep: they had nothing to do:
business was not urgent; time WIS no
object to them. there was no call TO
play or go to kindergarten: few were
sucking bottles. Pure disinfected air
is gently forced by electric fans thru
tubes into the fairy nests. and filters
up thru the mattress of absorbent cot
ton on which the patient lies. All dirt
and germs are thus removed The
babes lie in glass cases, the punier
ones in a tempera ture of 100 degrees

grees are reduced. The delicate ones
are not bathed at first, but coated with
oil. Now and then one lies serene

wide open, playing with fingers and

THE STATE FAIR.

The state fair is in full blast this
week with the promise of increased
excellence and increased attendance,
despite the greater attraction at st.
Louis. Governor Packard has prom
ised the largest live stock exhibit ever
shown at Des Moines. Heads of other
departments report large entries of SUI
perior quality. The schedule of amuse-
ments is varied and of peculiar attrac-
tiveness. All this. with the low rail-
road rates and good crop prospects,
IL likely to crowd the state fair grounds
with Iowa farmers.
A trip to the state fair is as much
pslrt OF the program with thousands NJ
the best farmers Of the state as corn
planting and harvest. There are hun
dreds of gray haired men among them
that have never missed year and 1t
invariably Of the most successful type
OF agriculturalists. The racing and
a,nusements do not attract them to
Des Moines. They go as they went
to school, to study, and come home
repaid for their time and expense. They
SIZE the best cattle and hogs and sheep,
examine the newest machinery, meet
those of their class and exchange ex-
psriences, and come home to put in
practice the object lessons Of the fair.
The agricultural feature of the state
fair is the one best and most helpful.
