PLAIN BABY TALK.

eve make the American baby a
pensioner On a four-le5ged, board
faced animal, which may serve a very
good brand of milk for a 150-pound
calf, but which doesn't know any
thing about catering to a ten-pound
baby"
So spoke DR.. George Goler, called
the child saver" the health officer,
who reduced the death rate among
children under five in Rochester
siXty-siX per cent, and among infants
of less than one year fifty-eight per
cent. 1t was at the food conven-
ton at Crawford, N. j., that he was
speaking.
THE only way to make cows milk
good for a human baby" he went on,
lis to feed it to a human mother and
let her system distill it for the baby.
physicians who are authorities
on chiidren's diseases tell US that not
more than twenty-five per cent. of
mothers in affiuent circumstances in
the United States are to-day able to
nurse their babies. The breast-fed
babies of the slums do better than
the bottle-fed babies of the avenue.
Out of LA babies who died under
the age of one year of whom l kept
records twenty-five were breast-fed
and 1872 bottle-fed.
I'VE nave S0,00O,0OO people, in
Guiding 100000 children under
five years of age. There is no one
thing on earth so important to those
100000 children as milk. What
are we doing about the most impor-
tant thing in life for those 10000
600 babies? They can't do any
thing for themselves, and they can't
vote. A Rochester alderman said to
me: I don't care a penny about the
milk ordinance; babies can't vote
Il don't know city in the world
that has clean milk. l know only
a few that compel cold milk in sum-
mer. Nearly all cities sell milk from
tuberculous cattle. New York Tri-
bune.

Feeds Horses by Machine.

A provision merchant in England has
invented an ingenious continuance by
which, it is stated, he is able to feed
his horses without personal attendance.
through the medium of an American
alarm clock.
In small office adjoining the stable
the clock is placed on a shelf Attached
to the winding-up key is piece of cop
per wire, and this is fastened to small
brass roller that runs over wooden rod.
At the end of the rod is a heavy weight.
When the clock 'goes off, the wheel is
drawn over the rod and releases the
weight, which falls to the floor.
The cornbox is filled overnight and
Immediately the weight Is released a
small door at the bottom Of the box flies
open and the corn falls into the manager.
The horses never fail to rise at the sound
of the alarm, knowing what is to follow,
and when the drivers turn up-say at Z
or o'clock the animals are ready for
taking the shafts Another advantage
to be gained by the method is that the
horses need never be placed in the shafts
before the breakfast has had time to
digest

THEY GROW
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. 1t
dispels the clouds from the mind as
sunlight chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off a load that the man
with a crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago l was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in a bad condition.
But was young and did not want
to die, so l began to look about for
the cause of my chronic trouble. l
used to have nervous spells which
would exhaust me and after each spell
it would take me days before 1 could
sit up in chair.
81 became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. 1 decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
1.-THE first cup, which l made ac-
cording to directions, had soothing
effect on my nerves and l liked the
taste. For a time l nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides.
l am to day healthy woman.
my family and relatives wonder
if / am the same person l was four
years ago, when l could do no work
on account of nervousness. Now
am doing my own homework, take
care of two babies-one twenty, the
other two months old. l am so busy
that l hardly get time to write a
letter, yet l do it all with the cheer
fitness and good humor that comes
from enjoying good health.
81 tell my friends it is to Postum
I owe my life to-day"

formal one such strfctness Is not OBJ
served, for it is taken for granted
that the hostess friends are persons
whom one wishes to meet. In a pub
lie place, where any one may be able
to enter, as at big dance or recep-
ton, and where with all the care that
can be employed the assembly may
still be mixed, one cannot be too par
ticular not to introduce man until a
woman has expressed her willing
ness to meet him.
Whether in a large ballroom or
small sitting room it is always good
form to take the man to the woman;
under no circumstances should the
woman go to the man.
When a hostess presents two stran-
gers she should mention topic in
which they are mutually interested.
For example, if they have a friend
in common it is very simple to say,
Mrs. So-and-So knows Miss Jones,
or if they care about some particular
sport, work, etc., the hostess can say,
"You two should find each other con-
genial, for you both play bridge" or
like golf"
This gives the two who nave just
met and know nothing of each
other a topic on which to begin talk
ing, and thus tides over an embar-
RAISING pause.
Etiquette no longer requires that
woman shall either rise or give
her hand when man is introduced.
Indeed, it is considered more correct
for her to remain seated and bow
graciously. If, as sometimes hap
pens, the man and woman may know
each other very we'll by name and
have many common interests, more
cordially is expressed by the woman
shaking hands when the two are
brought together. This is distinctly
optional with her, and the act means
more friendliness than is to be ex-
pected at the usual Introduction.
Should a man offer his hand before
the woman does she should take it
to avoid the appearance Of ungra-
ciousness.- Star.

Odd South American Animals.

Many curious animals haunt the
marshy parts of South America north of
the pampas. Frogs big and ferocious

vicious springs when Closely approached;
the capybara, cavy ''contented with

TO TEACH THE INDIANS.

Mrs. Bayard Cutting, Mrs. w. K.
Vanderbilt, Mrs. w. J. Sloane, Mrs.
Potter Palmer, Mrs. w. K. Wander
bilt, Jr., Mrs. H. Mckay Twombly
and Mrs. George Gould are among
the organizers of a society for mis-
sionary work among the Indians
near Reno, New, under the direction
of Sybil Carter.
Part of the work will be done in
Nevada. Miss Jessie Hemenway,
representing the society, went from
New York to start the work of teach
ing Italian 1acemaking and Roman
cut work among the Indian working
women Of the Walker River Reser-
Walton. She says the education of
the native races along these lines
has been very successful so far, es-
pecially among the Moquis of Cali

WHY WOMEN RIDE ASTRIDE.

cit is the general opinion among
the physicians with whom I associ-
ate,' writes correspondent of the
New York Medical Journal, that
the fashion of women riding astride
has not had its origin in fad so much
as it has in the advice of physicians
of our modern type.
''The fact that person riding
astride can have more freedom from
jar and jolt than one riding on side
saddle should be point in favor of
the astride method, aside from the
fact of it being safer and easier for
the rider.
THE fact that it might be con-
sidered immodest by those who are
not familiar with the astride method
of riding is no reason why it should
be condemned. The main reason
why it is becoming more popular is
because physicians in general see its
good points over the old method and
are thus advising it,
