The most alarming condition corr
fronting the American people today
is our 1nfantile death rate, Statistics
compiled from reports of the e.. =.
Government and the State Board .sf
Health of our largest populated
states, show that about 81 per cent
OF our deaths are among children
under 3 years of age and 30 per cent
under years of age. OF this 80
per cent two thirds or 81 per cent
die from Diarrho@ and Enteritis.
This means that in a state like Ark
ansas with an annual death rate of
80 900, 10000 are children under
2 years and 1900 of these die every
year with Bacterial Infection of the
Stomach d Bowels, ordinarily
termed Bowel trouble, Diarrhoas,
Cholera. tnfantum, Summer Comp
! a i n t. Teething Troubles, etc.
Statistics also show that no other
disease produces half as many deaths
among people Of all ages as'does this
one disease of "Bowel Trouble
among children under 2 years.
Appalling as these figures are,
how little concern is generally shown
in the preparation of Foods and
Remedies in an effort to avoid this
greatest ofall death dealing monsters. F,
T lessen this great mortality
among children should be the aim q
both our national and state govern

TRIES TO SHOOT
AFFINITY OF WIFE
Claude N. Berry Flourishes Re-
volyer Over Fernando Calves
in Alameda Hotel

ALAMEDA, Aug. 20.-The feud ex-
listing between Claude N Berry. a trav-
cling salesman, and Fernando Calves,
a former gateman in the employ of
the Southern Pacific, which originated
when Berry discovered that the gate
man, who is Mexican, was paying
devoted attention to Mrs. Berry, al
most eliminated in a shooting this
evening. Berry attacked Calves in the
bar of the Crescent hotel with a re-
volver, but bystanders interfered. Both
men were taken to the police station.
Calves was arrested at the instance
of Berry but was released upon his
own recognizance by Police Judge r.
b Tappan.
Berry purchased the revolver that
he attempted to use at a local store
last night, explaining that he had
secured a permit from the police to
carry the weapon. When Chief of
Police John Conrad learned of the pur-
chase. he detailed detectives to locate
Berry, as he feared that the CONNER
cial traveller planned to kill Calves.
Berry was not found until he entered
the Crescent hotel bar this evening
and announced that he was after
Calves.
Berry says that he discovered Calves
in Mrs. Berry'S room recently. He
says that he was tempted to shoot
Calves at the time, but because the
latter cowed and begged for his life,
he allowed the gateman to go.
Berry had the house at 1894 Alameda
avenue, where Calves and his mother,
Mrs. ]. ]. Calves, live, searched by
the police yesterday. Underwear,
stockings handkerchiefs and other ar
ticles, which Berry says are his prop
erty, were found in the room occupied
by Mrs. Berry's alleged affinity.
Berry was sued for a divorce a few
weeks ago. In an answer and cross
complaint, he alleged infidelity on the
part of his wife, and mentioned Calves
as correspondent Calves is a married
man and was arrested recently on the
complaint of his wife, who alleged
that he had failed to provide for her
and their child. Mrs. Berry is said to
come from a family prominent in
Louisville, KY. She is now in seclusion
with her son and mother in Berkeley.

Oil Wells Boom Berkeley

BERKELEY. Aug. 20.-A furry in
real estate in this city and the region
north Of here has been caused by the
discovery of oil in the neighborhood of
San Pablo and wildcat creeks, on the
land Of the East Richmond Park tract
and the Tewkesbury heights tract. The
land where the oil has been discovered
has been taken up by group of capi-
talists who are we'll known here.
The claims will be worked as an In
dependent holding and although an at
tempt has been made by the Standard
oil compauy of Richmond to buy the
wells the company refuses to sell, and,
having enough money TO finance the
wells, will work without outside aid.
The claim which is being worked is
an old one and is the first oil well dis
covered in California. 1t was In 1850
that the oil was discovered there, and
after a short time the claim was aban-
doned and recently rediscovered.
r Schapiro a we'll known capitalist
of San Francisco. is president of the
company behind the oil fields. and G.
