Baltimore, who, one day last week. brought
a couple of young women friends over
from the Monumental city to view the Ben

Y INFANT MORTALITY is something frghtful. We can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-five per cent,
Il or nearly onequarter, die before they reach one year thuy$eyen
per cent, or more than onethrd, before they are five, and onehaI before
they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that q timely use Of castoTia would save z
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these inantle deaths are oocasioned b. the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for chldrens complaints contain
more or less opium o morphine, They are, in considerable quantities
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation lead

The Firat Lesson Of an Arab hoy

The very first lesson which an Arab
baby learns when he begins to talk is
to keep. facts to himself It does not
sound very friendly put In that way,
but It saves deal of trouble. Foreign
ers do not understand Arabs. They
ask them pointed questions and receive
peculiar answers. They construe the
answers to please themselves and come
away to tell the world that the Arabs
are nation Of liars They are not
nation Of liars. Perhaps If they should
tell the foreigners to mind their own
affairs and let them and theirs alone
the foreigners would understand them
