NEEDLESS SACRIFICE OF LIFE
Constant Supply of Pure MiIk VIII Re suit in Immense Reduction d
 Infant Mortality.

The problem of the milk supply for the babies is one that has to be solved all the year round. The mortality rom the gestrO-intestinal diseases is heaviest during the summer, but the habies need pure milk quite as much a the winter as in the summer. and the municipalities that fail to insure Tor them are virtually asleep at tho switch. The eventual wrecking o. countless baby lives is inevitable. The city fathers who make no provision TOT the supervision of the sources O, the milk supply are not only virtually asleep, but reckiessly extravagant Dr. Goler's estimate is $500 a month for city the size of Rochester Put opposite this amount the economic -oss, due to the appalling waste oi baby life. It is estimated that 375 900 babies under one year old died In this country last year. Economists put the financial value Of each of these babies at $90, so that the total loss, ex- 1.'essed merely in dollars and cents amounted to $33,75O,0o0. And yet physicians say that at least one-halt of thls waste could have been pre-. veated by the adequate supervision of the sources of the mix snT~ly.

Willis Cobb the circus man told this story:
 Years ago he was tra yelling through the south with a wagon tent show and the press agent among other glow. ing accounts of whats coming" an nounced herd of 20 camels frurs ne sandy desert of Arabia"
 When the show reached town n. stead of 20 there was but one siekiy camel Some of the country newspa, pers paid no attention to this slight discrepancy, but when Cobb entered tue office of a Georgia coGutry editor Ae was mad enough to fight.
 T saw your parade, sah." said he. "and you lied to ouI people. I've a good mind to roast you. Where are your 20 camels you made my paper say you've got in your show"
 "I'll tell you how it was," explained Cobb. When we passed the swamp on the way here it was full of alliga. tors, and without the slightest warn. ing they leaped upon the bank and levoured all but one of the camels We put up a brave f,ght Eut it was no use"
 The editor gazed at Willis a conple of minutes and then said: "You re i good one. You ought to be a Ceor gia editor. Come out to my house to dinner to-day. 1 want to introduce my wife to the biggest liar on earth She'll be glad to meet you"

DR.. Mendoza Will Be Elected Acting
President of Panama in Spite of
Reported Objections.

PANAMA, Aug. N.-The political crisis
due to the reported intention OF the United
states to oppose as unconstitutional the
election by the National assembly Of DR..
Carlos Mendoza as acting president is grow
ing in intensity. The declaration OF r. o.
Morse, charge d'affaires OF the Panama
legation, regarding the ineligibility of DR..
Mendoza has united the liberal members OF
the assembly whose prominent leaders have
decided. It IS said to elect Or. Mendoza
first vice president and acting president
without regard to the objections of the
United States.
The Panama government has as yet re-
ceived no official confirmation or denial
from Washington of the attitude reported
to have been taken by the United States
although inquiries have been made by the
Panaman minister to Washington, ID. c..
Arosemena to ascertain the opinion of the
Department of State.
The friends of DR.. Mendoza publicly as
sert that they will elect him, since the Ma
tional assembly is the only corporation hav-
ing the power and right to interpret the
Panaman constitution and laws. They be-
lieve that the American government can,
not and will not refuse to recognize the
Panaman citizen chosen by the assembly
no matter who he may be.

REFUSE TO lombard SKIES
War Department Figures Rain Would
Cost Hundred Thousand.
TEN ROUNDS PROBABLY REQUIRED
Costs Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars
Apiece TO Fire Biggest Guns I'm
Coast ArtilIeFy--Graves
Telegraphs.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. N.-Estl-
mating the cost of the experiment at about
100000, the War department officials have
declined requests to order a bombardment
OF the skies by all its guns on Puget
Sound, and at the mouth of the Columbia
river in an effort to bring on rain in the
burning forest district OF the northwest. In
addition to the objection of cost, the army
officials regarded the proposal as certain
to prove futile. The Navy department, in
which similar request was made eX-
pressed its willingness to cooperate with
the army with six or ten guns, the only
ones at its disposal.
The experiment would have been one of
the most spectacular ever attempted in
the United States. Around Pugt Sound, at
Forts Worden, Casey and Flagler, the
army has forty tweve-inch mortars, six
twelve-inch rifles, eighteen ten-inch guns,
and twenty sx-inch guns, besides large
number of guns Of smaller caliber. At the
mouth of the Columbia in Forts Columbia
and Stevens are eight twelve-inch mortars,
eight ten'inch guns, three eight-inch guns,
and eleven six-inch. in addition to the
smaller ones.
To fire these once simultaneously, loaded
properly for the purpose in mind would
have cost the government, 1t was estimated
at the War department, $4,000. Admitting
the possibility OF effectiveness, It was con-
sdered that probably ten rounds would
nave been required This would have run
the cost up to a figure that the officials
did not feel justified in mourning without
specific authorization from high authority,
particularly in view OF the amount al
ready spent in putting thirty-two COM
panies of troops into the forest to fight the
fires.
Not Equipped with Time Fuses.
Besides the element OF cost, II was stated
at the War department that the army was
not equipped with projecties with time
fuses for the guns Just enumerated, and
hence the only atmospheric disturbance
created would be by the formation of gases
from the ground at the time Of the dis
charge Of the guns, and 81 the firing of
the projectile through the air. The dis
turbance caused by the flight of the pro-
jectiles, It was said, would be comparatively
negligible for the purposes of creating a
violent confusion among the air currents.
To fire the biggest guns in the coast
artillery costs about $50 each, II has been
estimated. To fire the twelve-inch mOrtars,
costs about $50. or $40 each.
