Municipal Child-Rearing.

FROM Inc LONDON IeleSTaph--
Since the mayor of Huddersfield (Alder-
man Benjamin Broadben), brother of Sir
William Broadbent. made his remarka BILE
offer of Ell to every infant born in the
district of LOngwood during his mayor
atty and eventually reared to the age Of
twelve months, the health authorities in
the borough have seriously taken up the
possibilities of successful child-rearing.
A scheme was adopted by the corporation
yesterday which provides that payment
of Is. shall be made to the first person
notifying the medical officer of health of
the birth of child within fOrty-eight
hours of such birth. The medical officer
Is to draw up for circulation among par
ents detailed advice to mothers and draw
public attention to the subject of infan-
tile mortality, and two lady health visit
ors are to be appointed. Further a day
nursery is to be experimental with for
twelve months, at which milk will be
supplied specially for feeding infants
under one year of age.
The mayor of the borough has had
considerable influence in drafting the
scheme. His great point is that many
mothers who are employed in the mills
are not able to feed their infants properly
owing to following industrial employ
ment. Inferior milk being used as a sub
stitute for natural food has unnecessarily
caused many losses of life.

With this issue The Republican Jour

and while it has necessarily undergone
changes of proprietorship and editors ii
has been issued continuously under the
same name, and has from the initial
number sought to promote the material
and moral welfare CT the city and coun-
ty in Which it has been published. How
much, if anything, it has accomplished
In this direction it is not for us to say.
The Journal may well claim a place
among the local industries to which it
has ever been ready to lend helping
hand. 1t is owned edited, printed and
published in the city which has been its
home for more than three-quarters of a
century. Fourteen people are employed,
and we believe that the weekly pay roll
is larger than that of any country week
ly in the State, and the money is paid
to our own people and goes into circula-
ton in our own city.

has endea vored to follow. 1t does not
intend there shall be any doubt as to
where it stands on any public question
or matter of local interest. 1t believes
in calling spade spade. 1t makes no
claim to infallibility and puts forth no
appeals for support other than the week
ly message it brings to its readers. In
closing its nth volume The Journal
thanks its many good friends for their

readers Happy New Year.

this line various abortive measures are
brought forward at the beginning of

category may be placed a proposition to
consolidate the customs districts and
abolish many of the customs offices. If

THE DUCK TRAP BRIDGE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: I
new steel bridge which the town of Lin
colnville has just placed across Duck Ira
stream is the subject of the enclosed poem
| which | have been requested to send to yo
for pub-catiOn. The new bridge is abou
eight feet higher than the old, but tine ar
proaches are not yet filled.-F.
OUR NEW STEEL BRIDGE.
| To make our bridge grand success
| mOdestly assert,
| Will need three thousand tons of stone,
| Two thousand tons of dirt.
| Then, sir, when fifty years have fled
| And people judge the past,
| They'll say it was glorious work
| And now twill always last.
Our former bridge was all of wood
| And framed with middle pier;
| Since grandpa's day the work had stood
| BY nursing every year.
| Now granite piers three rods apart
| Are by iron girders spanned,
| And would have been long years ago
| Had the town produced the sand
When people now would cross the stream
They will not have to go
| AS tho they feared of being dumped
! Some forty feet below.
And, too, when all our bills are paid
| How proudly we will feel
For townships cut no ice to day
| Which boast no bridge of steel.
Though we may rave and spit and spew
About the present cost
| We should not feel too dreadful sore,
The money won't be lost.
lis kindly spent for future babes,
10 help them climb the hill,
So mine it out where'er you can
And pay it with good will.
Must we forever lag behind
While other towns progress?
What matters it to average man
One shilling more or less?
The strain will be so much reduced
In climbing up the hills
That even tramps will smile out loud
And beg to pay the bills
Though some may fairly crticise,
Some treat with envicus fun,
lis far the grandest bridging job
Our town has ever done.
And when the needed funds are used
In grading up the sides
Well boast the neateSt trotting park
That greets the flowing tides.
The man who engineered our work,
Friend Ernest call his name,
While not a man of heavy weight
But built with iron frame,
Has done at least the work of two
Our granite piers to raise,
And |, for one, acknowledge corn
Whlle granting generous praise.
King Cheops reared a wondrous pile
OF marble lime and stone
To mark place for him to lie
When he was dead and gone,
But though he labored years and years
To crown that lofty ridge
Today it counts not half the worth
OF our new iron bridge.
BENEDICTION.
Here's hoping that our granite piers
May stand like Egypt's four,
Supporting well the bars of steel
Which greet the either shore;
That neither piers nor girders strong
May ever swerve or slump
But stand indeed true works of need
Till Gabriel blows his trump.
