Mr.. Roosevelt's article, which lead :
the July Scribner," contains one OF
the most interesting episodes of hi s
trip, the journey which he took alone,
cutting loose from the rest of the
party and making a trek to the head
waters of an equatorial river. 1.-THE
Guaso Nyero," in pursuit particularly
of the oryx, "a bold and hard fighter,
which when cornered, will charge a
man. During this excursion Mr..
Roosevelt took his own photographs,
a number of which are reproduced in
the article.
These days alone in the wilder
ness went by very pleasantly, he
says, land, as il was not too long,
/ thoroughly enjoyed being entirely
by myself so far as white men
were concerned. Later he joine
the main safari and heard an ac-
count from Kermit of an exciting
lion hunt One incident of this
journey was that, when at Neri, he
received from Peary the following
cable: your farewell was a royal
mascot. The Pole is ours
One of the most moving and intense
~ human stories 1.-The Red Book
Magazine" has ever published is in
the Black Shadow, which Edward
Price Bell has written for the July
issue An episode in il is a fight in
the water between two men, and the
reader is unquestionably thrilled by
the vividness with which the conflict
is portrayed. Another story that is
distinctly different is Fredeick Pal
mer's tale of a naval man at target
practice. The Battle in CARRIER 5
Brain" is the title. and it is well
worth reading.
The glorious Fourth is feelingly
observed in the issue by story en-
titled DAY of Days" by George
Allan England. Leo Lebowich in
Votes for Women" contributes an
other of his delioiousy funny stories
of an east-side night-school. In can
Enigma" William Hamilton Osborne
recounts another legal adventure of
Dorothy Dacres, and the airship story
by Bruce Farson entitled 1.-The Ghost
Dancer" reads almost as fast as the
airship flies. Into the Genuine" is a
very human story by Reginald Wright
Kaufman, and 1.-THE Annette Fever"
by Freeman Putney, Jr. will recall
his college days and sweethearts to
every graduate who may read it.
During the first year, when the
sterile milk of the mother is the ex-
elusive food of the child, there is
lite danger of the infectious diarrhoea
that finds its ready victims during
the second summer, says DR.. Jean
Williams, in the Woman Home
Companion" for July.
"There are many reasons for this
greater susceptibility. For one thing.
weaving has just been accomplished,
and the baby's system must become
adjusted to the more severe strain
imposed by artificial food; then, too +,
the protective forces have not been in
such great demand while the source
of supply has been above suspicion.
"The mother, in preparing to carry
her baby safely over this crisis, must
beware of irregular feeding, over
feeding and improper or spoiled food.
The digestive functions must be kept
at their highest level of efficiency.
Food must be kept or made as nearly
as may be germ free. Undoubtedly
all bacteria are not vicious, some are
even benign, but there must be, dur
ing the summer months, wholesale
destruction in order that none of the
especially perniciOus ones or their
poisonous products, so often lurking
in milk during hot weather, shall es-
cape into the intestinal tract of the
infant, there to set up the acute in
fectious diarrhaea commonly known
as cholera infantum.
