Rising Sun, Md.-To be pinched by

Connor by the flesh. The chair had to

GIVES MEDALS FOR BABIES
Boston Committee Adopts Unique
Plan for Reduction of Mortality
Among Infants.

Boston.-The Boston committee on
hygiene will offer gold and silver med
ais to mothers who bring them babies
which conform to the standards of the
board of health. Mothers who have
the healthiest babies will receive
gold medal. Those whose babies
are healthy, but not in the gold medal
class, will receive silver medals. Then,
too, there is to be some form of rec
ognition for the mothers who start
out with sickly baby and bring 1t
to high degree of health.
This scheme is a direct result of
the Huddersfleld plan for the preven-
tion of infant mortality, although a

field plan," says DR.. j. M. Connolly,

little while back, Mohammedan socie-

theory, and conduct of fermentation,
including proper temperature, density,
principle, and products formed--the
denaturing of alcohol and denaturants,
and the use of denatured alcohol for
manufacture and medicines-was dis
cussed by officials of the bureau of
chemistry The object in view, di-
rectly, has been to determine by prac-
tical demonstration the value of the
various farm products as alcohol pro-
ducers-to determine the feasibility OF
the farmers utilizing by-products and
unmarketable fruits and vegetables in
the production of denatured alcohol.
All material used at the distillery was
bought in the open market by DR..
Wiley personally in order that he
might observe it's condition and there
fore be the better informed in sum-
ming up the results. He also person
ally superintended the operation Of
the plant At the present time he
and his assistants are engaged in sum-
ming up the results of the experiment
tation. The exact proportion of alco-
hol produced by various vegetables
will be discussed at length in re-
port; as also will be the primary or
necessary cost of production. While
it is impossible to learn at this time
the conclusions of the officials, it may
be said in general way that the al
cohol can be distilled from refuse and
unmarketable vegetables and farm
products at a cost of from 25 to 30
cents gallon.
A feature of the report of DR.. Wiley
will be discussion of the practicable
ty of individual farmers distilling
their own products at a profit; like
wise the feasibility of cooperative
distillation plants in thickly settled
communities.
