Scientific Feeding to Reduce Infant
Mortality.

An experiment in scientific feeding
OF babies in tenement districts. where
dark homes. foul air and dirt arc handi-
caps, has been made by DR.. Ira S. Vile.
senior physician in the New York Milk
committee of the Association for I'm
proving the Conditions Of tho Poor. 1t
is said that remarkable results have
been shown in the tests Bodily weak
ness, i'll health and death have been
overcome in spite Of the handicaps.
The report of DR.. Wile's investiga-
tions just submitted to w. c. Phillips.
secretary of the milk committee, states
that fifteen weeks ago thirtytwo tefe-
ment babies of an average age of
fifteen weeks, who had come into DR..
Wiles milk depot for treatment. showed
an average weight of IS pounds Ga
ounces. each of the babies being
pounds lie ounces under the standard
weight for infants of that age On
the first day of this months the thirty
two babies had an average weight of
Is pounds 10 ounces, 90 ounces above
the standard weight.
The statistics compiled by DR.. Vile
furnish q most valuable contribution to
the work that is being carried on to re-
duce the terrible infant mortality in all
the large cities of the United States"
said Mr.. Phillips. These thirty-two
babies have lived under the same hard
conditions during the past fifteen weeks
as before they were brought to DR..
Vile. At the depots the mothers have
been taught how to feed their babies
properly, instructed in hygiene and af-
forded the opportunity of securing pure
milk modified to the needs of the in
dividual baby.
There is no more inexpensive nor
more efficient method of saving the
lives of the thousands of children who
will be killed BY heat during the COM
ing summer in all the great cities by
the establishment Of an adequate sys-
tenn Of milk depots is given in DR..

PRINCESS A DlSTURBER.
Neighbors Near Marble Palace Lose
Sleep Because of BOOSTERS Growing.
(RuffaIo News

The ne.ghbors of the Marble palace,
the summer residence of Crown Prince
Wilhelm and his family, have lodged
complaint against their imperial high
ness court marshal, complaining that
their beauty seepe. and simetimes
their nights rest is interfered with by
growing cocks and chicks small talk
coming from the palace grounds, but
Cecilia is not afraid. She has permit
from the burgomaster and means to
stand her ground.
The crown princess is somewhat of
a national economist, and has specu-
lated for some time on the fact that
eggs and poultry are uncommonly high
in Prussia, while in Denmark and in
England, where she often visits, much
lower prices prevail. At the same time
a glance at the import lists shows that
Germany PAYS tribute annually to for
eign countries for eggs and chickens.
Chicken farming must be encour-
aged" said Cecilia. to herself, and
little woman of my station in life Is
just the person to populariZe it,
So she staked off a fine sunny and
airy plot in the Marble palace ground
for a chicken yard and run, built
chicken houses, breeders, etc, accord
ing to the latest American patterns
and stocked them with 500 chickens of
different breeds. The chickens began
operations a month ago, and ever since
then all the Hohenzollerns residing In
and about Potsdam have been revealing

Sprine Medicine.

Now is the time of all times when
it is folly to stay indors more than is
absolutely necessary. There are few
days at any season of the year when
it is better to be in than out, prOvid-
ed one is clothed properly.
Health is in the fresh air, and the
exercise that is best, partly because it
is most pleasant, is that which we get
in walking. especially when we can
get away from the city streets, with
their germ laden dust which we hest
tate to breathe deeply when we think
of what it contains.
But there is no time when it is more
desirable that people should keep out
of doors than in 1.-The spring of the
year" Nature has tried to help us in
seeing this fact by prescribing pen
alties in the shape of ailments for
those who will not learn.
In certain sense nature seems to
have been fooled, for a large mum Der
of people adopted the superstition that
spring medicines are as much an in
stitution as Easter hats. Sickness, how
ever, ought never to be regarded as
necessary. 1t is a notice that some
thing has been going wrong.
In this case it should remind us that
we have kept ourselves too tightly shut
up in the house through the winter and
haven't FASTENED to make up for this
mistreatment of our bodies by getting
out in the spring sunshine.
The person who voluntarily stays in
doors from now on deserves TO take
medicine, and it is only to be re-
GREETED that the pharmacists have made
their mixtures so pleasant to take

Apparently the room was comfort

drawback.

reau around Here 1t will have to stand
always so that the light from the Win

sessed by my right side.
sherlock Holmes put me on to the
necessity of switching my looking glass
around every little while. if wish to
preserve a uniformity of good lookF.
He pointed out that the side of the
body that the light strikes the most
directly while dressing will always be
best groomed. The hair will be curled
more artistically, the powder laid on
more smoothly, and even the clothes
will be arranged more becomingly
This being so. IL stands TO reason that
the side that gets most attention con-
stantly is going to improve in the same
ratio that the neglected side de-
eriorates. and that the person WHO

always stands In the same post on as
regards the light is going to get really

cerned.

HER FORTUNE SUBSTANTIAL.
Nine. Modieska's Charity Was Far
Reaching.

Nine. Modjeska, in happy contradis-
tinction TO the fate OF many great
artits. did not die poor.
Her property, is was stated yester-
day will total about s120. 000-not an
extraordinary sum in these days of
regal fortunes. but comfortable es-
tate for an artist.
There was an impression abroad
that Nine. Modjeska and her distin-
giushed jouTnalist-husband, Count b.
zenta. were considerably reduced in
material means, through business re-
verses and by other ways. Their in
come. however was substantial and
was so fixed. by good securities, as to
continue indefinitely.
The personal proptrty of the actresses,
counting her costumes. her jewels,
her library and her sumptuous house
hold furnishings. many articles of
which were presented to her and many
OF which she gathered in travels all
over the world, is worth something
more than $4,000. OF these Jewels
form the largest part.
The land holdings Of tho family here
were comparatively small-considerine

Arden" which she once owned. This
famous homestead was sold about two
years ago to a country club of Long

property goes, this was q fair valua-
ton. though Nine Modjeska must
have spent considerably more than
100000 In improvements upon it.
These. however. were in artistic trifleS
that did not add to its general value,
and the cost of house construction in
itself was about five times greater in
this comparatively inaccessible place
than II would have been elsewhere.
The holdings of Nine Modjeska at
the time of her death consisted Of the
house and lot at Bay island, probably
worth $4,000. and an acre or so at
Tustin. three miles east of Santa Ana,
worth perhaps $500 or $1,000.
There were also a number Of first
class securities.
The largest single property, accord
ing TO reliable information, consists of
Polish bond. worth about $4,000,
backed as effectually as though by
the government. and interest bearing
for a very extended period.
There were also some standard
American stocks. some railway bonds,
first mortgages and the like. TAI of
these properties were in good shape,
and are secure.
Yet this little fortune. comfgtable as
il is. was only a small portion OF what
Modjeska earned during her actual
career upon the American stage.
This may be estimated at not less
than $500, 900.
