NEW WAY TO RAISE BABIES.
Emfnently Successful Method Hal
Been Devised by Hospital
Managers

Hospital methods are adopted more
each year in the private treatment of
babies-the methods, that is to say, of
the superior modern hospital conducted
under the best medical supervision. The
cradle is doomed and all its rocking
memories, says Golfers Weekly. The
child lies upon its bed and is not picked
up and carried about the room even when
it yells. Visitors and relatives are. no
longer encouraged to pound it in the ribs.
pinch its chin CT transfer microbes to
its lips This strictness is laughed at by
ribald outsiders and resented by critics
of the old regime, which, like every 9TH
er fossil, is attributed to nature, no
doubt, with Justice, but without relev-
ance.
Actually, this intelligent treatment Of
infancy is doing much to check nervous
ness in our children, to protect them
from bad habits and needless exactions
and to make them self-reliant. Baby
hood, indeed, is the best conducted age
at present. When the child grows older

of women and by city life. At the be-
ginning, however, in the first weeks and
months of his existence, when change
and development are more rapid than at
any other period. the human being has
never had such decent treatment as IT is
the happy fashion to bestow upon him

FOR THE LAST MEMBER.
Bottle of Port Wine Treasured By .
Club with But Few Remaining
Members.

A young man of Covington Ind, in
lS47 read in a Cincinnati newspaper of
q social club which had been formed
years before that date. The last sur
viving member of the club had broken
the bottle of whisky that had been on
the banquet table at every anniversary
of the first meeting.
The incident, sAys the New York Her.
aid, impressed the reader and he formed
a similar club. The membership was
20 and the club was called the Raging
Tads. Instead of whisky, bottle of
port wine was put ON the table, and this
was to be broken by the last member.
Thanksgiving evening was the fifty
sixth anniversary of the Raging Tads.
Two of the four survivors met there,
with the bottle between them.
Col. McMannoney. who will be SO
years old in March, and Lewis Hetfield
who Is now so years old, were the par
takers of the feast. Bob Brown, So yearz
old, lives in Nebraska. and Harvey
johnson, Of the same age, in Illinois.
They were unable to attend.
The Covington men are hale and
hearty, but were much affected by the
smallness of their numbers. Mr.. Het-
field said:
II don't want to be the last. II will
be a sad, very sad occasion, the open
ing of that old bottle.
II wouldn't open that bottle for any
thing" said Col. McMannoney.
The bottle is cared for as if it were OF
priceless value. From one Thanksgiv-
ing to the next it is stored in the vault
of the Covington Banking company
where 1t will not have to remain many
years before its seal is broken by the
last of the Raging Tads.

Plants That Take Pills.

A French scientist is said to have in

to plants so as to keep them in health
and vigor with but very little other
nourishment. 1t is easily found by
analysis what particular material each
sort CT plant chiefly needs. This found.
the necessary salts are inclosed in Z
prepared metal case and buried under
the roots. They dissolve slowly ana
gradually, the pace being regulated by
the thickness of the cover, and are thus
absorbed by the plant.-Chicago Chron-

wickedness of its inhabitants, was de-
stroyed by deluge in the reign OF Yaon.

with that at which, according to our
