The city did some work on the
Windmiller hill road yesterday that
is in line with tine work done by
pathmasters in some of the back dis
tricts. 1t had a team pillow and
scraped the clay and mud out OF the
ditch along the road and piled it on
the driveway, over the broken stone
that now paves the latter. This will
make the hill muddy and slippery at
its steepest part until the ran has
washed the clay back into the gutter.
Instead of piling clay in the driveway,
a little more broken stone, well rolled
down, with coating of oil on top,
would have made fairly durable i'm
provement and less expensive in the
end, while putting the road in first
class shape.
When the city gets under the COM
mission plan, such leaks will be stop
ped, and what is done will be perma-
nently done.

NO NURSES ARE AVAILABLE
DIES MONIES PHYSICIANS SEND
UP CALL FOR HELP.
White Capped Young Women Came
From MarshaIltown to Aid in
War Upon Pneumonia.

Des Moines, May pneumonia,
grip and after effects of measles are
so prevalent in Des MONIES that the
whole force of trained nurses in the
city is employed, and Des Moines ply
sicians have been compelled to send
to other cities for reinforcements.
Every nurse in Des Moines is en-
gagged upon a case, and .~e situation
has become SO serious during the last
two days that Des Moines physicians
have sent out appeals to many cities
throughout Iowa. Marshalltown is
the only point where unemployed
nurses could be found and from that
city have come several white-capped
young women to answer the call for
assistance.
Physicians declare that there has
never been a time in Des Moines
were in evidence as are now being re-
ported The unreasonable weather
in April is held responsible for the
condition. o..
Pneumonia requires more careful
nursing than almost any other dis
ease, and this fact has made doubly
hard the task of oyerworked physi-
clans in Des Moines. The hospitals
are full of patients and every room
in the new wing of Mercy hospital
that is now ready for use is occupied.
Il never saw the time in Des
Moines before when / was unable to
secure a nurse" said DIR. l.. DrakeIy
Rood yesterday. Il sought in vain
for nurse to assist me upon the
case of James Stanton, a well,known
farmer living south of Des Moines.
Finally secured nurse from Mar
shalltown, and later another came to
take the case of the three children
of L. Frerugilio on Southwest Ninth
street. The majority of cases are
either regular pneumonia or bronchial
pneumonia" ......

FOR YOUR HEALTH's SAKE
FEEDING BABIES.

II is not only during the sum-
mer months that great care
should be taken In feeding the
babies. Many infants are killed
every year by overfeedlng and
more by wrong feeding. There
are many mothers who make a
practice of bringing their babies
to the table and giving them a
little Of this and a little of that
and the other-meat, vegetables,
pie, pickles, or whatever may be
on the table.
These are all articles Of diet to
which the little stomach Is not ac-
customed, nor Is It capable Of Ia
king care Of them. The result Is
that the baby sickens, often dies,
and the death certificates usually
show as a cause diarrhea, dysen-
terry, cholera infantum, summer
complaint, commissions, brain fe-
yer, etc., but all these are only
names that are used for the re-
suit Of poisoning with improper
food.
So, don't overfeed the babies;
don't give them rich food, meats,
gravles, pastries, cake, ETC., nor
great variety. The simpler the
food the better. Keep up the daily
bath until II becomes a fixed hab-
1t, and give them all the fresh air
and sunshine possible.
