A ready speaker, as every member
who heard him In Alexandria will tes-

MANY BABIES
Die FROM HEAT
DR.. II. ". Howell, Of the
Board Of Health. Gives VAL
liable Suggestions

DR. II. W. Howell. president Of the
Board of Health Is much interested in
the welfare OF tho infant this hot
weather. During the present month
hfty-six children between the ages OF
few days and years have died.
Of this number forty-nve being loss
than one year OF age. This total NOR
tality is five greater than for a COR
responding period Of last year.
DR.. Howell gives valuable sugges-
tions as to how the death rate Of the
tots might be reduced He says;
"of course. the intense heat we have
been experiencing this summer and the
attendant humidity has been very hard
on babies. and In such seasons the
mortality among them Is usually high.
|sul. II mothers would be more care
full regarding the care Of their little
ones many might be spared who now
go dowmto their last rest.
vOne Of the most important things TO
consider is the infants food. This
breast. as nature provides the proper
sustenance of the child, the mothers
milk providing food as well as medi-
cine for the infant. In cases where II
is impossible for mothers TO nurse their
children. great care should be exercised
in the proper selection and preparation
of artificial food One great mistake
made Is 70 feed the same quantity. .un-
der all circumstances This should not
be done when the child appears unweil,
but the quantity Of its food should
rather be reduced.
Another point Is the way in which
some mothers clothe their children. A
baby should be clothed in garments
which are not sufficiently heavy to be
uncomfortable, and yet should be sufii-
ciently warm TO protect the little body
from any cold Fresh air is also a most
essential thing toward conserving the
health of babies, and while they should
be kept out OF direct drafts, yet they
should have plent yof good, pure air.
that of the early morning or late after
noon being preferable. have seen
cases where mothers, in their anxiety
TO prevent a possible cold for the child,
keep them in a stuffy. hot. poorly ven-
tilated room, where persons OF maturer
years would have little chance OF being
comfortable"
It is said that the infant mortality
is much less among the foreign eie-
lment. This is attributed by physicians
10 the fact that foreign born mothers
invariably nurse their children, shun-
ming artificial food and that they per-
NIT their children to remain out OF
doors far more than the American
people. They also dress in keeping
with their duties as mothers.

MAXIM RIDDEN WOMAN.
Cages Have Waxed Eloquent Over
Her Falings.

Cages Have Waxed Eloquent Over
Her Failinas.
Would there be any maxims in this
world II 1t were not for gentle woman?
Hearken to the sages of old, how
they waxed eloquent when considering
her and her failings. Listen to the
sages of today. See them wag their
boards as they tell her what to do and
how to do it, stopping awhile to call TO
her attention the terrifying things that
will surely happen to her If she doesn't
DO as they suggest.
Poor, poor, blundering, headless,
Needless creaturei From time immemo-
rial she hath done what she ought not
/ to have done, and che hath left undone
the things she ought to have done, and
. the wonder is that there is any health
+ in her.
II she is a spinster, she is told how
. to comport herself with due spinsterian
+. dignity. II she is a wife, she has per-
. feet library of ponderous tones to draw
& inspiration from. How she ever could
go wrong is something hard to con-
ceive since she is so hedged about with
advice, so beset with counselors. To
be sure, many of the counselors are
men-indeed, have always been men
and always will be men-but that does
not seem to alter the case or deract
( from their ability to advance ready
made rules for her department. How
q to bring up her children; how to care
for, manage. control, beguile, yea, even
how TO capture, a husband-these be
the stupendous and awful topics ably
i discussed for her enlightenment.
Young maids and old maids. young
81 wives and old wives, mothers and
n grandmothers-yes. even hoary headed
81 at-grandmothers-are not forgotten
n There are maxims and maxims. All
you have to DO is TO wear petticoats
f and take your choice, and. having cho
sen-well, having chosen. you just look
s. sweet and smile beamingly and pursue
the uneven tenor of your womanly
way.
