BARELEGGED COSTUMES.

In an address 10 the New Haven
Mothers Club recently published in
book form Ghe Frederick A Stokes
Company, New York;, Professor Lafay-
cite p. MendeI, of the Sheffield Scien-
| tific School, Yale. makes a vigorous
protest against the practice of dressing
children in bareIegged costumes.
''At early ages he says, we find
different degrees Of readiness in diff
ferent animal species in regard to their
ability to perform the functions pecu-
liar to the fully developed individual.
Frequently adequate digestive powers
are not matured at birth, and more
often the heat regulating mechanism
is imperfectIy developed. The young
child, as well as the chick or the mouse
or the kitten, is unable to maintain it's
body temperature perfectly. Owing TO
the peculiar reasons regulating mech
anisn with which the organism is en-
dowed, the body temperature is re-
rlarka bly, constant, despite varying ex-
ternal conditions. But when newly
born puppies, kittens and rabbits are
removed from their usual warm sur
roundings, their temperature wiz be-
come lowered until it reaches a point
a few degrees above the temperature OF
the surrounding air. In human infants
the conditions correspond with those
found in young animals of the more
dependent class. The infantile tenn
perature is variable, and the readiness
with which temperature irregularities
manifest themselves on slight provoca-
ton, even in children of several years
growth. is familiar to every observing
mother.
1T remains for us. therefore. 10 learn
the proper lesson from this defenceless
condition OF the young amid their cold
er environment. We learn to appreciate
what warm clothing means 70 the max
ed infant, otherwise helpless in it's
resistance to the atmosphere about it.
I am ready to believe that not a little
additional pain and crying among in
fants are ultimately attributable to the
thoughtless exposure of arms and legs,
even in summer months. The invigor-
ating thrill which cold in the form OF
a cold bath or a cold sleeping room
rouses in an adult is scarcely attained
at those ages where the temperature
regulating mechanism is not yet thor
oughIy developed: and therefore [ am
inclined to believe that the prevalent
practice of dressing young boys and
girls in short socks at certain seasons
is inadvisabIe. if not actually bar
barous Man has instinctively protect
ed himself against the unpleasantnesS
Of a cold environment by the adoption
of clothing. The extent of this protec-
ton is varied with the climate in which
he resides. In our average climate
about 50 per cent. of the body is or
dinariIy clothed. The barred leg cos
tunes of the present mode may leave
as much as 80 per cent. to 40 per cent
of the child's body surface exposed
Some of US have noticed that even in
adults the kiitie suit may become I'M

mer day What shall we expect in the
less resistant child during cool autumn
weather.

GRAIN CASE is REVERSED
Federal Circuit Court Holds that
Boards of Trade Have Property
Rights In Quotations.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. April l6.--In an opn-
in the United States circuit court of ap-
peals today, the Missouri circuit court is
reversed in the suit Of the Board Of Trade
OF Chicago against the Celia Commission
company and others. The suit was brought
to enjoin the Celia company and others
from surreptiously acquiring and using the
boards continuous market quotations The
lower court dismissed the bill in equity on
the grounds that the Chicago board OF
trade quotations were the result OF gam
bling transactions on the floor of its ex-
change and did not constitute a species OF
property which appealed to tho conscience
OF court of equity for protection.
The court of appeals holds that so far as
this question is concerned the record in
this case is subtantialy the same as I'm
the case Of the Board of Trade againt
Christie and therefore the decree Of the
circuit court cannot be sustained upon the
grounds assigned.
Upon the point raised that the necessary
jurisdctional amount 5000 is not in
volved in this case. the court finds that the
plaintiffs right to control the distribution
and use OF it's quotations was the source
OF a considerable revenue to II and that
the showing as to the amount involved was
ample to give the court jurisdiction.
The finding is reversed and decree is or
dered entered in favor OF the plaintiff

cordance with the wishes of southern MEM

that many of the questions to be consid-
