Louis Kolls. II year old son of Mrs.
William Kolls, 1914 Fourteenth av,
enne, received a wound yesterday af-
ternoon in the right thigh, which has
proven serious. He was accidentally
shot with blank cartridge, the paper
being imbedded in the flesh. Instead of
having the wound attended to yester-
day, the family delayed calling medical
assistance until this noon, When DIR.
r. r. Bradford performed an operation
and removed the powder particles and
the paper wad. IL was found that the
wad had been imbedded in the flesh
over an inch beneath the skin. The
delay in having the injuries attended
TO properly will prove serious handi-
cap, however. and the wound is re-
garded as quite serious.
Loses Two Fingers.
Prentice Phillips. SIT Thirtieth
street, lost two fingers from his left
hand last evening by the discharge of
a cannon cracker. Phillips had lighted
the cracker and il failed TO explode,
and he went to light it again and II
was then that the discharge took place.
This accident is made all the more Sc
Tious on account of the fact that sew
eral years ago Phillips met with an
accident which took all the fingers
from his right hand.
ExplOdes in Face.
William J. Stockham is suffering
a painful injury today as a result of
the explosion of fireworks in his face
last evening. With others he was en-
Toying some fireworks in front of his
harness shop on Market square and
in handling one of the variety known
as a flower pot the blaze went into his
face
Fred Johnson, of Moline, was struck
in the face last evening with small
rocket. He was slightly burned. and
had one of his teeth knocked out.
Mayor Expresses Appreciation.
The greater portion of the day pass
ed without any serious accidents but
as II came near to the close the usual
number of accidents took place. Mayor
McCaskrin expresses his appreciation
of the respect the people paid TO the
safety and comfort of others in re-
framing from the more dangerous
especially the placing of
caps on the street car tracks.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH ISSUES A
!. ICIRCULAR TO SAVE LIVES OF BABIES

During the summer season when the
general conditions of health through
out the state are much improved, when
consumptives experience reliefin their
lives in the open air, when the contag-
iouS diseases are reduced to a mini
mum, the state board of health is ac-
lively engaged in fighting those fac
tors which are responsible for the
great infant mortality in the state.
The active work of the board in this
direction was begun early in the
spring and a campaign of education
has already been gotten well under
way which will make its impression
in every county in the state. A 2S-page
circular on infant feeding and the care
of infants has just been published,
and already copies have been sent to
the physicians of every county, who
have been asked to cooperate in giving
to the publications of the board the
widest distribution.
Is Made Attractive.
AS a public health document this
circular is unusual in more than one
particular. Radically departing from
the time-honOred. stereotyped style.
the circular is embellished with an at
tractive cover design and illustrations
are used freely. not only to simplify
the instructions given. but to impress
more forcefully the admonitions given.
The cover page bears the slogan adopt
ed by the board Save the Babies"
together with the quotation from Car

ticable in every home.
Details Looked After.
Even the details of cleansing the
bottles and nipples, of dressing, bath
ing. and caring for the little one. of
handling the utensils used in prepar-
ing the baby's food are dealt with in
short, concise paragraphs which tell
their story without unnecessary words
or discussion. The health of the
mother, so essential to the welfare OF
the child is considered in n chapter
which abounds in practical, helpful
suggestions, while a concluding chap
ter is devoted to suggestions to the
dairyman and his duties TO his Gus
toners. This last chapter is not only
of value to the milk dealer who would
produce a good, pure milk, but 1t is
an excellent guide to the parent as to
what he should demand of the milk
dealer in protecting the life and health
of his child.
From cover to cover the circular
abounds in concise, epigrammatic sug
gestions, couched in a language so
clear and simple as to make the sug
gestions available to every mother.
1T is better for an infant to have clean
food in filthy surroundings than dirty
food in ideal surroundings" ut is

for you an estimable loan-take all
heed thereof, in all carefulness employ
it-with high recompense. or else with
heavy penalty will it one day be re-
quired back"
According to the circular. One-fifth
of all infants born in Illinois die dur
ing the first year of life, while in large
cities. like Chicago and New York. the
death rate of infants is much higher.
in midsummer equalling that of all
other persons over 10 years of age.
But the death rate of summer is not
due to the heat alone. 1t is due to
the effect of the hot weather upon the
the baby's food-the deaths of infants
are chiefly caused by improper food
or their inability to digest and assim-
ilate the food given.
The circular teaches that mothers
milk is the only perfect food for the
child. but the chief aim is to guide
the mother in feeding the infant who
is by necessity deprived of its natural
food. 1t tells of the artificial foods
which may he selected and their adj
vantages and disadvantages-of the
wet nurse. of cows milk. of condensed
milk and OF the manufactured Infant
foods" The mixing of cows milk to
suit the delicate digestion of the young
infant is described in such way as to

Perry Hall, 18th District.-Mrs. Margaret
Milchling, one of the oldest residents of this
place, died on the 10th instant, aged SO years.
She was the wife of the late Philip Milchling
and had been a resident of Perry Hall more
than fifty years. The funeral took place on
Thursday morning, Rev. G. E. Mechling, of
Abingdon, Hartford county, conducting the
services. Interment in the cemetery at st.
Michael's Lutheran. Church. The funeral was
largely attended. Fred. Lassahn was the I'M
derlaker.
We still have in this village about eight old
residents some of whom have passed the 80
mark and some of them are nearly 80. Most
of these enjoy fairly good health and are APP
parently happy. 1t would be too much trouble
to count those who are over 20, as there are
any number of them. This speaks well for
the healthfulness of this section of Baltimore
county.
On last Sunday morning the. new minister
at Perry Hall M. E. Church failed to put in an
appearance. The congregation had assembled
and, after waiting a reasonable time for his ar
rival, went to St. Michaels Lutheran Church.
1t was fortunate circumstance that the min
lister at this church, Rev. q. E. Mechling, of
Abingdon, conducted service and preached in
the English language that morning.
Our farmers are very much discouraged be-
cause there has been so much wet weather
that their work had been greatly interfered
