Infant Mortality.

MIX is the only food for infants.
and milk is very difficult article to
Keep in perfect condition. Adnltera-
ton by water is a relatively trivial
danger compared with the infection
of milk with the germs of disease.
There are gratifying evidences that
the Department of Public Health and
Charities, the Modified Milk Society.
the Bureau of Municipal Research, the
Visiting Nurse Society and severa
other benevolent organizations are
working in association to improve the
quality the supply of milk, to in
duce dealers and mothers TO take bet
ter care of milk mad TO give instruc-
ton in the care OF SICK babies and to
help the mothers care for them. The
result of all these efforts is said to
be a decrease of 40 per cent in infant
mortality during the past summer in
certain wards where efforts were con
centrated.
Director Neff and his assistants are
watching the milk brought into the
city and when the germs OF diseas ,
are discovered the dairymen ala
promptly notified and are required to
produce evidence hat sick COW has
been isolated from the herd before
more milk can be supplied here: or, if
typhoid germs appear, measures are
taken 20 keep milk from the infected
dairy out of the city till the causes of
the infection are removed.
The latest step taken in the direc-
ton of protecting the citys milk sup.
ply is the appointment by the mayor
of commission of physicians to study
the whole problem of the distribution
and preservation of milk, and this
commission has already had one meet
ing Philadelphia Record.

POOR JUDGMENT.

1t is remarkable how many people
think they can write, how few really
can and what tough time they have
to break into letters. 1t would seem
sometimes that those who pass on
the literary work of new writer's for
the magazines are either fools or idi-
ots, or az least have no conception of
what The people in a reading way de.
mand. An illustration of this is the
difficulty which the late O. Henry cy.
perienced in gaining recognition. One
of his best stories. THE Emancipa.
ton of Billy" was sent TO thirteen edi-
tors before it was accepted. No nan
of letters ever had a harder time
TO break into type than had o. Henry
and yet he will rank as the greatest
humorist and short story writer OF his
age. Because he disregarded literary
conventions, the tasters were afraid
OF him, and yet this was precisely the
spice which the people wanted.

Ocean DereIicts.

Floating wrecks are a serious and
constant menace to commerce. There
is one bureau of the navy department
which keeps track as best it can of
these derelicts and whenever practical
sends Il revenue cutter or the special
derelict destroyer Seneca to destroy
them or tow them to port The extent
of this work Of hunting down water
logged and abandoned ships is ind-
Gated by the fact that during Il recent
seven year period no fewer than ,628
derelicts were reported at Washington,
an average OF 90 for each year. A
large part OF them are lumber laden
craft, as other vessels usually go TO
the bottom when water gets inside.

SHOULD CALL BLUFF

1t appears from the Telegraph this
morning that the county court Of Ne.
Dowell county invites investigation in
the matter OF election frauds charged
by the Democrats. In an article sign
ed by members of the cour.. dealing
in general.ties. it is asked that If the
Democrats have any evidence of fraud
TO come forward and produce them.
1t Is stated that less than fifty-fye
per cent of the registered vote was
cast, while in 1903 the total vote
represented eighty-one per cent OF
registration. This proves absolutely
nothing, however. The point AT Issue
Is how many ballots were illegally
deposited. And the court main. ajns
a profound silence in regard TO the
matter of its failure to appoint Dem.
ocratic election officers wnen il is q
known fact that il refused TO name
Democratic challengers. and the one
at WEIGH who was legally appointed
election day was arrested
Moreover, the matter has now pass.

Why Christmas Shopping
Should Begin Early

First.--Because you can get
better bargains when the stock
is fresh and fun.
Second.-Because you thus
have time to make proper sc.
lections instead of buying "jue.
anything to make out your
gift list.
Third.-Because you can time
the gifts you send away by ex.
press or by mail so that they
will reach the recipients Just be
fore Christmas and not a day
or 20 late.
Fourth Because by spread
ing your shopping over several
weeks instead Of doing all OF II
in few hours and in a great
rush you will be able TO get
what you want when you want

Fifth Because you will be
doing your part toward making
things easier for the shopgirls
and the other clerks, who are
rushed almost to death when
everybody buys everything the
last few days before Christmas.
