Pope Plus x. has inaugurated Q
campaign against dueling In Italy. Fol-
lowing his suggestion, a Jury Of honor
has been formed in Rome to prevent
duels. Similar juries Nill be formed
in every important city in Italy, -
well as In Austria, and 1t IL thought
the movement will put an efficient stop
to the practice Of dueling. The fatal
ties from dueling In all Europe are
not to be compared with the deaths
from football in the United States.

Babies Killed by Ignorant Feeding.


Many factors enter into the stream
of causes which make up the great
ocean of needlessly sacrificed baby
lives, of which the chief are perhaps
ignorance and poverty. The ignor-
ance of many mothers-I am almost
tempted to say the average mother!-
is most appalling. To hear group
Of settlement workers. visiting nurses
and physicians relating their expert
ences and enumeratng the many de-
leterious things given to young babies,
is a tragic experience, says the Crafts
man. Babies a few weeks old given
tea, beer, vegetables, bread. fish,
candy. ice cream, pickles-the awful
list might be extended almost indefi-
nitely. Undoubtedly, ignorant feeding
is a prime factor In the problem Of In
fantile mortality.

ToYMAKERs PLEASE.
Good Audience Enjoys New. Musical
Piece at Opera House.

A good sized audience thoroughly en-
joyed the musical comedy, "The Toy
makers" presented at the opera house
last evening The music arranged for
the play is especially good and the com
pany had good voices. The company had
It's own orchestra, consisting Of piano,
violin and cornet, played BY three ladies.
The foundation on which "The Toy
makers is built is a -honored one,
but is worked out in way that allows
some very mirth provoking situations,
which the cast used successfully. John
Senior Stubs, an aged and eccentric
toymaker, conceives the idea of making
a beautiful life-size doll, bringing her
to life BY magic and thus providing a
wife for his son. He models the doll
after the most beautiful girl in town,
which proves his undoing, for in the
course of time the girl herself is substi-
tuted for the doll and she comes to life
with vengeance The real coming to
life is accomplished by the nephew of
the told toymaker, who appears down the
chimney masquerading in costume rep
resenting the devil, and scares the old
man into frame of mind that allows
them all to marry and live happily ever
afterward."
