BABY FOODS KILL,
WARNS PHYSICIAN
Raw Milk Also Fatal TO
Some, and Too Many Oper-
ationS Are Performed.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 1.-THE prac-
tice OF feeding infants on proprietary
infant foods was condemned last night
In a paper read by Prof 9 Sigmund
Raue at meeting Of the Homeopathic
County Medical Society
Prof Raue. who is an expert on the
question of infant feeding. declared that
such foods were ia from the proper
thing" He also declared against the
practice Of feeding infants raw milk,
saying that this is responsible for many
Of the Ills among infants. because Of the
''preponderance of bacterial life in the
usual supply OF city milk"
He laid stress on the fact that many
ills are the result of overfeeding, in
stead Of undertaking, and said that the
practice Of modifying milk in the home
for infant consumption brought unfav-
orable results
Or. Henry s. Weaver declared that
there are many cases OF adenoids in
children that do not require an opera
ton. In his opinion. he said, too many
children are operated upon when they
could be cured by other methods and
rOutines Of treatment"
He said there are cases where an op-
Grafton is necessary, but that the great
er number can be cured without It.

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
SENATE ORGANIZATION.

Of significance almost equal to the
overthrow of the House by the Demo
Gratis are the changes which will be
brought about in the Senate as a re-
suit of Tuesdays elections. The most
striking viii be in the representation
from the States which now have Re
publican Senators, but which have
elected Democratic Legislatures, which.
in turn, viii elect Democratic Senator's.
A Democratic Senator had already
been assured from Maine in place of
Hale. Tuesdays elections will give
the Democrats a Senator from New
York in place of Depew, from New
JERSEY in place of Kean, from West
Virg MA in place of Scott, from Ohio in
place of Dick, from Missouri in place
of Warner, from Nebraska in place of
Burkett, and from Indiana in place Of
Beverage, a total increase of eight.
The Senate now contains Hfty-eight
Republicans and thirty-two Democrats.
making the Republican majority
twerty-six. When the Republican sue.
cessor to Deliver and the Democratic
successor TO AIcEnery are elected. the
party division viii be ffty-nine Repub-
hcans and thirty-three Democrats.
with the Republican majority ST..
twenty-six.
As the returns stand today, the Re
publicans in the next Senate viii num-
Der ffty-one and the Democrats forty
one, leaving the Republicans the small
majority of ten
With the retirement from the Senate
of such influential leaders as Hale,
Dick, Depew, Scott, and probably AID
rich, who has announced he will not
be a candidate for reelection, it at
once becomes apparent that the whole
trend of events in the upper house of
Congress viii be changed. New men
will spring into prominence and into
Leadership. The Democrats will exert a
greater influence in affairs of legisls
ton. The old Aldrich organization will
be demoralized, and a titanic struggle
for control viii ensue between the
progressive and reactionary forces,
with the chances of victory favoring
the progressive.
Here, it can be seen, the insurgent
Republicans viii exert a powerful in
fuence. In Tuesdays elections the in
surgent Senators lost one member and
gained two; Beverage will be beaten,
but Poindexter will be elected in Wash
ington and Gronna viii be elected in
North Dakota.
The ultra-insUrgents in the Senate
will be six "A number, and viii consist

merce Commission in Washington, a
story from st. Louis showing that the
Simmons Hardware Company, after
mature consideration, had accepted the
railroads claims and would, thereafter,
support the contention of the railway
officials that higher rates are impera-
tive.
Newspapers friendly to the cause
of the railroads Immediately took up
the announcement and made much OF
it. They used it to show that here
was a great mercantile institution, one
of the heaviest shippers of merehan-
disc in the country, that believed the
railroads were entitled to more money
than they were receiving for haul
ing freight.
The significance of the Simmons
announceme- was particularly impress
sIve because the interests which have
been fighting the proposed increases
are made up of manufacturers, whole
salers, and jobbers. The Simmons
company makes and distributes mil
lions of dollars worth OF hardware
every year. 1t is one of the biggest
manufacturing and wholesale concerns
in the world. When it lines up with
the railroads, surely there must be
reason to question the attitude OF
shippers who are opposing higher ratesl
That was the line of argument.
OF course, a great many people were
impressed If they had been in pos
session Of one little fact they might
not have been impressed at all. That
fact is this:
The heaviest buyers of the products
of the Simmons Hardware Company
are the railroads of the United States

nights show, if that we're possible,
although the audience was not
nearly so good as the performance
deserved.
As the COURIER intimated last

best performance ever presented

Il crowded house.
In the second nights perfor-
nance, Miss Portia Baldwin, as
Mrs. Stuart-Dodge, was superb,
while every other part was even
better than the first night.

License Refused Nf. Hamilton.

The Shepherdstown Town Coun-
Gil turned down" the application
of Mr.. f. L. Hamilton, of Berry,
vile, for a saloon license, at their
recent meeting.
In commenting on the action of
the Council, the Register of last
week says:
The regular meeting of the
town council held last Monday
evening wss an interesting one.
Two applications for license to sell
liquor were presented, one from
j. p. Watkins and the other from
+. L. Hamilton, the former to
keep a bar in the Entler Hotel
corner room and the latter in the
Chapline building, next to the
Register building. Recorder j. ID.
Billmyer started the ball rolling by
offering a motion that the license
fee be increased from 5000 to
81, 900. This motion failed, be-
cause no one would give it second.
When the petition of Mr.. Watkins
was taken up, Mr.. Billmyer OBJ
jected, on the ground that the ap-
plicant was not q fit person, under
the law, to conduct q saloon. He
read the law on the subject, also
the oath of the councilmen and
urgently opposed granting the
recommendation to Mr.. Watkins.
The recommendation was granted,
however, the recorder casting the
only vote against it.
when Mr.. Hamilton's applica-
ton was considered, Mr.. Billmyer
again objected. 1t had been whis-
pered for some time that this firm,
which formerly conducted q saloon
here, would not again be licensed,
and when s vote was taken the
application was turned down, only
two councilmen, Messrs. Spohn
and Shell, voting for it."

Rain Helps Growing Crops.

The first good rainfall in this
section in several week, started
Saturday night and continued
during Sunday and Sunday night.
Monday there wa, no rain. but the
fall started again Monday night
and continued during yesterday.
Yesterday morning there was a
sharp fall of hail for a few moments.
but it was soon melted by the rain.
and it is not thought any very
great damage was done to fruit or
growing crops.
The rain came at 4 time when it
was badly needed, as the high
winds of recent weeks had dried
the ground and roads out and made
the highways almost as dusty as in
August.
The value of the rain to growing
crops can hardly be computed.

Death Of kr. Lewis HelYsStine.

Mr.. Lewis V. Helvestine, one of
the oldest most widely known
farmers and citizens of Clarke
county, died at his home West of
Berryville last Wednesday after
noon, after an extended illness,
death being due directly to blood
poisoning, which, in his enfeebled
condition made recovery impos-
sible.
Mr.. Helvestine was S4 years of
age, and up to a few years ago was
one of the most successful and
capable farmers in the Valley, but
was forced to give up active work
by his advancing age.
The funeral was held from the
Berryville Baptist Church Satur-
day morning at IL O'Clock, Rev.
Julian Broaddus, d. D., officiating,
and interment was made in Green
Hill Cemetery.
The pallbearers were Messrs.
John Nj. Fenton, Thos. j. Fenton,
w. II. Holiday, Thos. ID. Gold,
w. II. Mesmer and John Gaunt,
and the services were attended by
a large number of lifelong friends
who paid their last sad tribute to
this good man and sterling citizen.
The floral offerings were profuse
and beautiful.
He is survived by his widow,
three daughters, Mrs. Walker. of
jefferson county, w. Va, and
Misses Dora and Hattie Helvestine,
at home, and two sons, Messrs.
Claude A. and Edward Helvestine,
both of Clarke county.
